Chapter 344 The Counterattack Begins

For such a match that neither side can lose, and neither can afford to lose, both sides naturally showed their full strength, did not dare to hide anything, and began to fight for victory.

After the old Bei's training, now Liverpool has become more and more like a championship team. The second half of the game has just started, and Liverpool began to attack frantically according to the tactics arranged by Lao Bei during the intermission.

Everton is not a vegetarian either. Although Liverpool's crazy attack at the beginning of the game caught the Everton players a little by surprise, under the leadership of Gravesen in the team, Everton has always stuck to the team's last line of defense.

Gravesen fully utilized his title of "mad dog" to the fullest, constantly resolving and blocking Liverpool's attacks with vicious tackles.

In the Everton team, Gravesen's performance was not the most eye-catching, but the most eye-catching performances were Naismith and goalkeeper Martin.I don't know what Moyes did to the two during the intermission.Naismith became almost like an irrational barbarian, constantly putting Owen and Smicer who were facing him.

Goalkeeper Martin, on the other hand, seems to be 20 years younger, with high jumps and low blocks, constantly resolving Liverpool's shots again and again.

"O~ Martin, it was Martin who blocked Owen's shot again. At this moment, Martin is the God of Gooderson Park. In Martin's eyes, Liverpool is simply a poor guy who can't find the goal. Look at the brave Martin at this time. Eriksson should think about it and let our Martin become the main goalkeeper of the England national team."

In the 7th minute of the second half, Owen received a through ball from Smicer and used his speed to throw off Yabo's defense and hit the goal from a small angle. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and the ball hit Martin's leg and popped out of the baseline.

"Damn it!" Seeing that he didn't enter, Owen couldn't help but swear.You must know that Yabo is a player with outstanding physical fitness and speed unique to Nigerian players.This time such a good opportunity did not score a goal, and Irving didn't know whether he would have such an opportunity in the remaining time.

Owen was depressed, and Martin was also depressed, especially after he stopped Owen from shooting and heard the commentator's words, he was even more depressed.Why, you must know that Martin has always wanted to be the main goalkeeper of the England national team. This is Martin's dream.

But Seaman, who is at Arsenal, doesn't know how to advance and retreat. He just sits in the position of England's main goalkeeper and doesn't retire. This makes Martin have nowhere to serve the country.It can be said that Martin's biggest regret in this life is probably not that he has not won any honors, but that he cannot serve the country.

Smicer took a corner kick, Yabo set the baseline, and Gravesen got it. Looking at his teammates, Gravesen immediately handed the ball to Li Tie.

Li Tie immediately passed the ball to Liverpool's penalty area. Beatty leaped high, almost pressing down on Carragher in mid-air, and pushed the ball to Bent who was on the side.Bent didn't make any adjustments and shot directly, but was blocked by Hyypia stretching his legs.

Liverpool's crazy offense put a lot of pressure on Everton's defense, but Everton played a counterattack. In addition to the Premier League teams, it seems that except for Arsenal, each of them has their own team's long pass. So Everton's counterattack is also very sharp.

It can be seen from Everton's counterattack this time that it took Everton less than 15 seconds from the backcourt pass to Bent's final shot.If it wasn't for Hypia's tight defense to block Bent's shot, or Bent's feet might score this time.

"Harvey, what are you doing, run for me, don't you want to spare some energy to patronize a certain cover girl? Run for me, keep running, exhaust your energy for me. Also, Harry, you are the same, run for me."

Seeing that the stalemate on the field could not be broken for a while, and Everton obviously gradually adapted to Liverpool's offense, counterattacks gradually started, and the offense became sharper.Seeing this scene, the elder Bey was dissatisfied immediately, and shouted at Alonso and Kewell on the field, reminding them that the task of the two of you is to find a way to exhaust your energy within 10 minutes.

Hearing Lao Bei's yelling, Kewell and Alonso were also helpless. They understood that this was a sign that the head coach was dissatisfied with his performance.Thinking of this, both of them were also depressed. From the beginning of the game, the two of them had been working very hard. Why did this make the head coach dissatisfied.

Although they didn't know what was going on, the two also knew that the head coach was dissatisfied with him at this time. He wanted to live a better life in Liverpool and get more playing time. Now he needed to work overtime to complete the tasks assigned by Lao Bei.Although, this task is not so simple to complete.

"Here~" Seeing that Kewell was blocked by Pistone and unable to break through, George immediately threw off Stubbs who was sticking to him, shouted at Kewell, and ran to catch the ball.

Kewell was still worried about why he broke through Pistone's defense. At this time, when he heard George asking for the ball, he passed the ball to George without any hesitation, while he continued to rush towards the baseline.

Pistone couldn't help being taken aback, because Pistone didn't know whether to chase after George, who was holding the ball, or continue to follow Kewell.Because at this time, the two of them can do a two-over-one cooperation.

Pistone was hesitating, but George didn't hesitate. Seeing Kewell continue to rush towards the baseline, he immediately handed the ball back to Kewell, then turned around and rushed towards Everton's penalty area.

Having regained the ball, and there was no interference or defense from Pistone at this time, Kewell insisted on completing the tasks ordered by Old Bei. He did not pay attention to controlling his physical strength as usual, but ran straight, went directly to the bottom, looked at his teammates in the penalty area, and passed the ball.

"Let me come!" Seeing that Kewell's pass was a little close to the goal, Martin roared and chose to attack. Obviously, Martin was going to catch the ball directly and not give Liverpool any chance to attack.

Stubbs and Yabo, who originally wanted to take off to compete for the top, immediately dismissed the idea of ​​competing for the top after hearing Martin's reminder. They just tried their best to squeeze George and Owen to the outside of the penalty area, keeping them away from the ball, and Martin's attack.

Martin also lived up to the hopes of the two, jumped up on the spot, and firmly grasped the ball.When Martin just landed on the ground, he quickly threw the ball player to Pistone who was on the sidelines.

Pistone dribbled the ball towards the Liverpool half and ran for nearly 20 meters. It was not until Gerrard rushed up that he slowed down and handed the ball to Li Tie on the side.

Li Tie had just received a pass from Pistone, and Alonso immediately posted it.Li Tie turned around immediately, with his back to Alonso, preventing Alonso from stealing the ball, and at the same time observing his teammates' running positions.

"This way!" Gravesen, who was five meters away from Li Tie, immediately reached out for the ball when he saw Li Tie being entangled by Alonso. Without losing his speed, he quickly rushed towards the Liverpool half.

Seeing that it was captain Gravesen asking for the ball, Li Tie didn't dare to neglect, and immediately passed the ball over.At this time, Liverpool's midfield was empty. Seeing this scene, Gravesen naturally did not hesitate, and directly took the ball in large strides, quickly approaching the Liverpool penalty area.

"I'm going, you fill in!" Liverpool naturally couldn't tolerate Gravesen's arrogance. Carragher yelled at Yepes on the side, and rushed towards Gravesen himself.And Yepes, who was reminded by Carragher, did not hesitate to fill Carragher's position directly.

"Uh~ Bent was closely guarded by Hypia, and he didn't even have a chance to get the ball, so let's give it to Beatty." Thinking of this, Gravesen immediately looked at Beatty, only to find that Yepes was not easy to bully, and was defended tightly by Beatty. It seemed that Beatty had no chance to get the ball.

While Gravesen was still hesitating, Carragher directly slid to the bottom three meters away from Gravesen, and when he broke the ball at Gravesen's feet, he also brought Gravesen down hard.

"Oh, this is a serious foul. The referee should send Carragher off with a red card, and the Football Association should give Carragher a heavy penalty." Seeing Gravesen being brought down by Carragher, the commentator didn't even think about it, and immediately yelled loudly.At the same time, the Everton fans were also very cooperative, booing continuously, and cooperating with the commentator, preparing to put pressure on the referee.

But unfortunately, the referee ignored the commentator and Everton fans at all, and even Gravesen, who got up from the ground, ignored it.Just made a gesture of no problem, continue the game.

The referee just saw very clearly that Carragher's tackle was indeed very dangerous, but he did not foul, so the referee naturally ignored what the commentator and Everton fans thought, and just insisted on his own penalty.

When Gravesen was still preparing to argue with the referee, after receiving the ball from Carragher, Gerrard immediately played a two-on-one with Alonso. After passing Li Tie, he began to kill towards Everton's penalty area.

At this time, Everton can be said to be the most dangerous moment, because Gravesen's run just now indirectly drove Everton's entire attack line.At this time in Everton's backcourt, apart from Stubbs and Yabo and goalkeeper Martin, there is no one player.On the Liverpool side, George, Owen and Kewell have long been prepared.

When Gerrard and Alonso made a two-on-one, they began to rush towards Everton's penalty area, and a three-on-two situation suddenly formed.If you add Alonso and Gerrard, even if Li Tie is included, it will be a situation of top five and three.It can be said that at this moment, Everton is very dangerous.

"Damn it, return to defense, pay attention to return to defense!" Seeing that Gravesen did not get up and chase, but "chat" with the referee.Moyes couldn't help being furious, and immediately yelled at the players on the field, reminding them to retreat quickly to defend.

But it is a pity that Liverpool did not give Everton players the time and opportunity to return to defense. At this time, Liverpool's offense has put Yabo and Stubbs in the penalty area, which also means that Liverpool can already shoot at this time.
