There is a dream called football

This summer, Everton finally lost their golden boy Rooney. Manchester United took away England's golden boy for a super high price of 27 million pounds. I thought Everton would be depressed, but I didn't expect Everton's performance this season.

The results were particularly good.

Moyes looked very proud during the interview.

"Losing Rooney is of course a big loss for the team, but it is not the end. Football is the whole, and we have done a good job in this."

Everton's offensive line at this time can be described as civilians.

They are England's fringe international Bente, Irishman Carsley, and Australia's Cahill.

The combined transfer fee for Everton to acquire these three players is less than that of Liverpool's Alonso, but this is football.

When asked how to deal with Liverpool, Moyes said two points. The first is the home advantage.

The second is fast English football.

I have to say that Moyes is very talented, and Everton under his leadership is indeed very powerful. This is why Ferguson later chose Moyes to succeed him, but there was no way, Moyes did not have the fate of a wealthy club.

"In the past, when we met Liverpool, we might defend and counterattack, but now I will definitely not do that. We are full of confidence. I will fight against Liverpool. I think Evertonians will be proud of us."

The reporter said, "There is another very unfavorable factor, that is, the kick-off time of this game is 12:45 pm."

"Isn't this terrible for a British team?"

The Premier League is like this. The key battles are arranged at night, so the Football Association obviously does not pay attention to the Merseyside derby.

Moyes laughed and said, "I don't pick the time of the game, but I hope that the Merseyside derby can be arranged at prime time in the evening."

The weak show strength and the strong show weakness. This is the law of the football world. Because the historical record is far inferior to Liverpool, Moyes must show strength.

But there was no need for Benitez to do this when he was being interviewed. In his mind, the so-called Merseyside derby was a bit exaggerated.

"To be honest, as a Spaniard, I have only heard of the Merseyside derby recently. I used to only know about the London derby, the North London derby and the Manchester derby."

"You mean Everton isn't good enough for Liverpool?"

"I didn't mean that. I think all 20 teams in the Premier League are very strong, but I think this is just an ordinary game."

When Benitez said this, the Evertonians were of course furious, especially the arrogance in his tone.

Many Everton veterans said that it is very normal for a Spaniard to not understand English football.

Some people also say that Benitez's coaching level in Spain was mediocre and that Liverpool were blind in hiring him.

Of course, Benitez will not respond to these.

*****

Manchester, Rooney has been having a pretty average life since coming to Manchester United, and has not had a particularly strong performance for the time being.

But for Rooney, Ferguson still gave him full trust, after all, he spent so much money.

As usual, when Rooney came to Carrington, reporters gathered around him, but today the topic was not about Manchester United, but the upcoming derby between Liverpool and Everton.

As a former Everton player, Rooney certainly knows the emotion of the derby, and he can even feel the swelling of his blood from last season.

"I don't have time to watch the derby. It's impossible to watch TV, but I will pay attention. I know what it means to both sides of the city."

"Who do you like more?"

"Everton, of course."

"Can you predict the score?"

Rooney didn't say anything, just smiled and held out three fingers.

"Ha ha."

"Is this the visiting team's locker room? It's better to say it's a pigsty." Dudek got angry when he came to the visiting team's locker room.

To be fair, Li Qiao thought it was okay, but some of them were not cleaned up, which must be intentional.

Benitez asked the players to calm down. In modern football, it is impossible for opponents to do too much. It is just some things that disgust the opponent. This is completely self-adjusted, so it is nothing.

"It's all small things, don't affect your emotions."

Gerrard said: "Yes, I have encountered worse situations in my playing career and I didn't get angry. I think Goodison Park is pretty good."

The players quickly calmed down and Benitez set up the tactical board.

"I have analyzed Everton's tactics. In fact, there is nothing remarkable. It is just pure English football, with fierce tackling and high speed."

"I think this kind of football will gradually be eliminated, but I have to admit that it may still be very useful in the Premier League."

"Boss, should we be careful about our legs?" Alonso said with a smile.

"hehe."

"It's not that bad."

"It's hard to say, maybe you don't feel it, but you do know the craziness of the Merseyside derby," Gerrard said.

"Boss, do we have to learn how to shovel people?"

Alonso smiled and gestured, "I think this is quite important in the Premier League. You can't always be the one who gets tackled."

"Haha, red cards, suspensions, these are not things a team like us can afford."

"Anyway, don't think about it and just keep playing football."

Benitez's tactics are still the same, which is to control the midfield and use the two wings. Technology and speed are what Benitez relies on.

The sun was shining brightly when the players came out, which is one of the benefits of playing football in the afternoon. In a country like the UK, the warm sunshine in winter is so comfortable, but this comfort was soon replaced by huge boos.

boooooooo.

Everton fans booed deafeningly, accompanied by shouts and curses.

Goodison Park turned into the Colosseum of ancient Rome. The two sides were not like a football match, but a crazy duel.

Players from both sides lost their gentlemanly demeanor before the game. They only shook hands hastily and did not look at each other at all.

Moreover, when Gerrard shook hands with Carsley, the other party was very perfunctory, which made Gerrard a little unhappy.

"You should at least hold it with me."

"I got it."

The referee was on the side, and he adjusted it. Fortunately, the two parties were not Suarez and Evra, otherwise the handshake incident would have been difficult to resolve.

When the pick was made, the head coach was vaccinated, "I know the grudge between you, but don't bring it to the court for me."

The Football Association is also very smart. This kind of competition must generally be controlled, otherwise it is likely to turn into a war. This has happened before.

Gerrard nodded OK.

The same goes for Everton.

But both sides seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and they couldn't restrain their impulse. Derby! Derby! Is it still called a derby without a red card?
