Chapter 843 Is the ball offside?

Everton's goalkeeper was the first to discover that Ye Qi was offside. After all, his position could be clearly seen.

He and his teammate Williams both raised their hands to signal that the opponent was offside, but before the referee blew the whistle, he still focused on defending Ye Qi who intervened.

But at this moment, he saw someone on the far side quickly inserting himself into Ye Qi's ribs behind Ye Qi's side.

The Everton goalkeeper felt something was wrong. From his position, he really saw the ball flying towards Ye Qi.

But is it really for Ye Qi? Not always!

Soon the ball flew from behind Ye Qi, between Williams and Ye Qi, and to the ribs on the other side.

Lallana is not as fast as Ye Qi and Mane, so it took him some time to appear in the ribs. But it is precisely because of this that he was not offside when he plugged in later.

After getting the ball, Lallana took the ball smoothly and entered.

Zhan Jun suddenly realized at this time: "This ball is not for Ye Qi, it is for Lallana!"

Liu Yue: "Ye Qi's movement deceived Everton's defense, but it still depends on how the referee determines the goal..."

Everton's goalkeeper finally understood that the ball flew from behind Ye Qi, which was equivalent to flying from his left front to his right front.

Following him, he was confused. This ball... was he going to attack Lallana who was dribbling the ball, or was he defending Ye Qi?

If it goes up, it is easy for Lallana to pass it to Ye Qi. With Ye Qi's shooting skills, he can score an empty goal with his eyes closed.

If he doesn't go up, Lallana is getting closer and closer, and he can hit the goal directly!

Zhan Jun: "This is not just a single shot, but also a two-on-one in the penalty area!"

Just with such a hesitation, Lallana was almost reaching the ribs of the penalty area parallel to the penalty spot.

In the end, the Everton goalkeeper saw that Williams continued to defend Ye Qi, so he simply chose to go out to find Lallana.

He is very smart. Although he pounces on Lallana, his route is between the passing routes of Lallana and Ye Qi, in order to guard against the opponent's pass.

The moment Everton came up, Lallana stopped delaying. With his left and right feet balanced, he raised his left foot and shot a shot from the instep!

The instep hit the right spot, and the ball rolled quickly toward the goal. The ball was very fast!

Zhan Jun: "Lallana...hit the goal!!"

Everton's goalkeeper fell to the ground and dived, but the ball was too fast and the ball rolled under him before he could. Finally, it rolled into the goal line five centimeters away from the left upright.

Zhan Jun: "Lallana! Scored a goal!!"

Liu Yue: "In the 86th minute, Mane's breakthrough created a threat, and then his ribs connected with Lallana. Lallana led the ball into the penalty area and shot decisively, and finally the ball went in!"

Zhan Jun: "Three to zero! Everton is doomed!"

Liu Yue: "The movement of the seventh ball is crucial. It feels like he knows that Mane wants to find Lallana who is leaning behind him? How did he see it?"

In fact, Ye Qi didn't see Lallana. After all, Erlang Shen's heavenly eye didn't grow on the back of his head!

He guessed it by the way Mane turned his head. When he looked at Mane, he felt that Mane's eyes were looking at his side.

Ye Qi didn't know who was coming behind him. Anyway, he just had to go up and cover for his teammates.

If Mane had just looked at the goal and goalkeeper, or in front of him, Ye Qi would have guessed that the ball was for him.

But he was in an offside position. With his little understanding of Mane, he understood how Mane could pass such an obvious offside ball.

In the end, he saw the ball enter the net first, and then turned to look for his teammate who scored the goal.

It was easy to confirm, because he saw Lallana rushing towards the sidelines frantically.

Following Ye Qi, he turned around and joined the celebration of his teammates.

Everton's players were very unconvinced. First, teammate Baines was suspected of being injured. Then they believed that Ye Qi, who was in an offside position, posed a threat to their own defensive players, so the goal should be invalid.

Everton players complained to the referee.

Zhan Jun watched the slow-motion replay and said: "First of all, I confirmed that Lallana's position was not offside. He inserted from behind. When Mane passed the ball, he was still behind Williams."

"From this point of view, the main point of contention for Everton is Ye Qi's offside. Ye Qi's position is indeed offside, but he did not catch the ball and did not cause any interference to the opponent's players. The offside judgment is a bit far-fetched. .”

Liu Yue analyzed: "To determine offside, we usually look at whether the player in the offside position has got the ball and whether he has profited from the offside position."

"This ball... Mane's passing route was not looking for Ye Qi at all. The ball was passed behind Ye Qi and not in front of him, so it stands to reason that Ye Qi's movement did not interfere with the opponent. "

"For example, if the ball is passed in front of Mane, Ye Qi knows that he is offside and does not catch the ball, but he jumps over the ball and leaks the ball to Lallana. It would make sense to call it a foul, because although you did not touch it, The ball was caught, but it gave the opponent goalkeeper the illusion that you were offside and caught the ball, which is a profit."

"The second is that you blocked the opponent's defensive player from defending the ball in the offside position. For example, your body got stuck in the opponent's goalkeeper or defender."

"So at Ye Qi's point of view, these situations basically do not exist. He was not the one passing the ball, and he did not step forward to catch the ball, nor did he block the opponent's defensive players."

Despite Everton's indignant appeals, the referee firmly pointed to the center circle, indicating that the goal was valid.

Koeman did not complain to the fourth official because he knew the result was unlikely to change, but so what? The opponent still leads by two goals.

Instead, it was a waste of one's own precious time.

Koeman stood on the sidelines and kept waving, signaling to the players to hurry up and let the game continue, trying to make use of the injury time to make a difference.

Zhan Jun: "The referee made the correct decision. The ball was indeed not offside. Ye Qi had no obvious obstruction to Liverpool's offense and Everton's defense."

Baines really couldn't run anymore, and Everton used this time to use up their last substitution.

However, Koeman did not replace the full-back, but replaced it with the Ecuadorian forward Enna Valencia, who was on loan from West Ham United.

As a result, the Toffees' lineup began to change. Coleman, who previously played right wing back, came to the left to replace Bynes, who was unable to run and was substituted.

Lennon dropped back to play as a right back. He can play as a full midfielder. Since there is not much game time anyway, it is not a big problem to play as a full back.

Enna Valencia and Lukaku play as double centers, and Miralas moves to the center as an attacking midfielder. Ross Barkley dropped back to play central midfielder.

There is no doubt that Ronald Koeman wants to use the last few minutes to fight to the death.
