Green Life

At 7:00 p.m., Goodison Park Stadium, the 205th Merseyside derby, sea water and flames, coldness and passion.

"Here we go, here we go~"

The singing never stops, the noise is overwhelming, like a meeting between steaming water and fire, the smoke of gunpowder is everywhere, and the fog of war is pervasive.

Just like Castor and Polax in Gemini, entangled but hated each other for hundreds of years.

They were created almost at the same time, and entered glory in different periods.

They almost never get downgraded and fall into recession at the same time.

Their courts face each other across the garden, with sea water on one side and flames on the other.

Their ambition has never been extinguished. After you sing, I will appear on the stage.

They are Liverpool and Everton, the most popular derby in the century-old British football history! none of them.

Do tactics matter? Does style of play matter? You just need to chase the ball under your feet, fall down again and again, stand up again and again, and show your bloodthirsty teeth and fierce eyes to the enemy.

Be like a man, show your courage, stand up your spine, let them be afraid, let them be afraid, prove to them that this city belongs to our color!

Carragher and Gerrard are authentic Liverpool people, and Mark Qin is from Liverpool's youth training, so there is no need for any mobilization before the game.

It is precisely because this is a game that focuses on the whole of England and is extremely hot, the FA sent Clattenburg, the famous Premier League golden whistle, to enforce the game.

Sky Sports and the BBC have sent top commentary and commentary lineups, including the famous Liverpool star Alan Hansen and Mike.

The fans in China are depressed. Since the TV broadcast rights have not been negotiated in the future, the Premier League has officially gone offline on major sports channels, and the fans can only go over the wall online.

Jonathan came to the scene in person. In the past two weeks, he has kept in touch with Peter and expressed great sincerity. He is willing to increase the share discount from 10% to 20%. There are wolves around. Some money.

The hot-blooded atmosphere of this shocking person can drive anyone crazy. Various analysis and predictions before the game, compared in strength, but unfortunately they are not Benitez, this old man has no one to see if there are two spinners on his head. It was a mess.

Torres may have been tired during the international competition, and his calf was a little uncomfortable when he came back. Alonso was also injured just right. Benitez didn't care about it, and didn't bring any.

Gerrard's old right toe injury is a bit of a recurrence. Except for scoring a world wave in the first round of this season, he has encountered a scoring drought until now, and his state has not been at his best. It is not the same as the previous two seasons .

The manpower was already tight. Benitez hinted before that he should keep his international game to a minimum. Gerrard didn’t listen and played in Russia with an injury. He was brought up by the traditional British football culture and was a fighter. In Benitez's eyes, it was almost equivalent to being stupid.

If it weren't for the fact that he is the captain, and this is a derby, and Benitez's mind is not completely broken, it is estimated that he would even dare to stay in Melwood.

Liverpool put together a four-dimensional lineup and came to Goodison Park. When the list came out, it shattered the glasses.

Goalkeeper: Reina

Defenders: Aurelio, Hyypia, Skrtel, Carragher, Finnan

Midfielders: Benayoun, Mascherano, Gerrard, Dirk

Forward: Voronin

Subs: Itangi, Agger, Lucas, Mark Qin, Crouch

The moment the entire stadium announced the list, it became even crazier, haha! Liverpool is scared!

Carragher and Gerrard found it extremely harsh to hear the jeers coming from the stands, and they didn't know why Benitez lined up a defensive lineup for this game. It is the natural right of the head coach to line up. explain.

"Yo, poor clown,

Come to mother's arms~"

"Cowardly get out of Liverpool~"

"You are a bunch of cowards~"

Although the number of Red Army fans is small, of course they are not to be outdone. There are too many veterans in the history of the two teams, and they immediately sang and cursed back.

"Uh, Micah, what do you think of Liverpool's starting lineup today?" Peterson was a little surprised holding the starting lineup.

"I heard that both Alonso and Torres are injured. Enrique is considered a normal rotation. Benitez may be staying for the Champions League three days later. After all, in this group, Liverpool has not yet reached the point where they can sit back and relax, but said To be honest, this first start will make us lose in the opening momentum.”

McManaman here is quite polite, and Alan Hansen on the BBC directly criticized Benitez. These retired celebrities are not forgiving.

"Benitez made a huge mistake, Liverpool haven't played 5-4-1 this season, and on top of that, it's at Goodison Park, how can he line up in a defensive formation? Liverpool never win battles by defending sneak attacks, they Be like a man!"

Well, two ages, unable to understand each other.

At that time, Everton star Dean mailed aspirin to Liverpool players every time before the Derby (meaning to cure headaches first); The bathroom door was kicked badly before retreating.

At that time, it was all naked confrontation, so the main difference between the old Haiwei and Benitez was here. In the eyes of Benitez, this was just an ordinary league game, and his focus was always on tactical arrangements. rationality.

No one is right or wrong. The things of that era will eventually be replaced by a more professional sports model, and Benitez also ignored that people play football, not machines. They have regional concepts and various emotions. There are even racial notions.

It is these peripherals that make football full of stories. No matter how well a group of robots play, no one will watch it.

The locker room before the game was extremely dull, as if suppressing a mixed emotion of unwillingness, depression, and anger. With the pervasive noise from outside, the air was so sticky that it seemed to stick to the skin, making it difficult to breathe.

Gerrard clenched his fists tightly. His cousin died in that tragedy. Liverpool was more than just the team he played for.

He hopes that Liverpool will be brilliant and great. He and his cousin have been Liverpool fans since they were young. Only a greater Liverpool can pay homage to the 96 dead souls. They have not been punished.

The relationship between the local forces headed by Gerrard and Carragher and Benitez is not bad, but it is not good either. They have almost no communication outside the game.

Benitez is the coach with the most brilliant achievements since Liverpool returned to Europe. For Liverpool, they have no reason not to support him, and there is also the Spanish gang in the team, which obviously has the trust of Benitez. They are the real direct descendants.

Many of Benitez's ideas are incompatible with Anfield and even British football. He is now in the most glorious moment of his life, and of course it is impossible to compromise in his heart.

Dissatisfaction with the head coach's formation, Gerrard and the others can only be hidden in their hearts, and they will vent it to the damn Everton on the field, let them know who is the master of this city!

Suffocation, no one can clearly hear what tactics Benitez is arranging, what kind of tactics are needed in this kind of game, this is how Mark Qin feels.

Like a silent movie, he didn't understand until now what the Merseyside derby was, and as long as there were Liverpool people in the team, it would never die.

Everything he saw in the stands before, fierce mutual mockery, fiery singing confrontation, in the face of this silent depression, it is nothing, it can freeze thinking!

Everyone's adrenal hormones are violently stimulated, and the blood is hot. When the 22 members of the two teams are in this state on the green field, one can imagine what will happen~

"Boom~", when they walked out of the locker room and entered the stadium, they were greeted with overwhelming boos.

In a stadium surrounded by 40,000 people, you must have a strong heart to keep your legs from shaking.

Carragher patted Mark Qin behind him, and he turned to look at the captain. Carragher squeezed his shoulder vigorously again. The two looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

At this moment today, he will officially welcome the baptism brought about by this red spirit, and there are thousands of words without words!

Old Haiwei, Marko, Hugh, and Aslit sat in the stands watching Ma Keqin walking out of the passage, as if watching a fire carrying inheritance. Will it ignite?

After the winter break, the old Haiwei and Marko decided to officially retire. Hugh and Aslit will go to Melwood to incorporate the new youth training system. Kirkby? It will really be a football academy.
