Chapter 891 Lucky Barry

"Stones is suspected of deliberately elbowing the ball. Atkinson didn't give him a card, which is considered merciful!" Zhou Qiang's heart was bleeding when explaining the game. Crucially, Stones was disappointed that he did not receive a topaz card, and if Zhang Yuan was injured, it would make Liverpool even worse.

Butt and other Everton fans angrily scolded Zhang Yuan for diving. Of course they knew it was a foul, but well, they wouldn't scold Stones. Little Butt stood beside him without saying anything, looking at his father But he was a little contemptuous. The ball was obviously a foul. The referee was right in awarding Liverpool a free kick. He was a little worried that Zhang Yuan was injured. Fortunately, Zhang Yuan rubbed his neck in the end, it was all right!
Everton's midfield position is parallel, but their position is not absolute. The main attack point is on the side of Miralas and the point of Lukaku in the middle. Besic came from Bosnia and Herzegovina this year. The club transferred to Everton. He was originally a player in the middle and backcourt. He is a bit weak in offensive ability. In many cases, he consciously leans towards the middle, forming Everton's midfield three with Barry and McCarthy. group of people.

The division of labor in this combination is much clearer than that of Rodgers' trio. Barry's most basic task is to play back and play as a midfielder, and rarely step forward. McCarthy used to be a Wigan player, and Martinez worked in Wigan for several years. Wigan was completely relegated, but McCarthy played well here. He was the backbone of the team at a young age. He was the favorite of Martinez. Martinez came to Everton and bought it quickly. McCarthy.

Everton has taken Barry this season, and Martinez basically uses this duo in the midfield, one is responsible for sweeping and the other is responsible for organization.

McCarthy is indeed capable. Liverpool's unclear midfield division of labor does not take advantage of Everton's more organized skills and tactics.

The game between the two sides was very open. You come and go, it's a bit lively, and the fans on the scene are exclaiming one after another.

Rodgers became anxious when he saw the team's situation. He was successful in transforming Swansea, but he was not successful in transforming Liverpool. Zhang Yuan or Sterling.

Markovic's situation in the first 10 minutes of the game undoubtedly disappointed Rogers. He was relatively unfamiliar with his teammates. Although he was very active in running and ran up and down without hesitation, it was obviously not enough.

Zhang Yuan got the ball for a long time in the frontcourt. He had no choice but to think of a way by himself and retreated to respond. This move is no stranger to Everton, and their high center forward Lukaku also has it. specialty.

To deal with Zhang Yuan's retracement, their solution is to stick close to him. No matter where he is, there is always someone to stare at him, preventing him from taking the ball comfortably, preventing him from passing the ball comfortably, let alone running after passing the ball. opportunity to move.

In the 16th minute, as soon as he took the ball from the midfield, Barry immediately pulled him down, still no card, this kind of foul was not once or twice, Zhang Yuan finally couldn't help it, he yelled at Atkinson, you Can't be like this all the time, if it's not the same person, I won't give the card. Take a good look at how many fouls they used on me? !

Atkinson seems to have a little remorse, which is really a bit unreasonable.

In the 20th minute, when Zhang Yuan was violated by Barry again, Atkinson finally gave Barry a yellow card to calm Zhang Yuan's anger.

This is where the derby is difficult to play. The judgment scale of the Premier League referees is often inexplicable. You can say that they are loose in this kind of game, but sometimes they play cards so fast. You can say they are loose. Tolerating a lot of fouls, this is what Zhang Yuan can't stand the most when he comes to the Premier League.

Liverpool's ball possession rate on the court is only about 40%, while Everton's is about 60.00%. However, Liverpool has more shots than Everton. It shows that they are proficient in control, but of course they are not as good as Barcelona in the specific details of the offense. Fortunately, Liverpool's defensive integrity is maintained very well, except for Rodgers' fantasizing about arm wrestling with Everton at the beginning. , Everton did not create many opportunities.

Liverpool used the speed of the forwards to play fast breaks frequently. Everton could not use fouls to stop Zhang Yuan every time. up.

In the 24th minute, Liverpool finally ushered in a good opportunity to score. Sterling seized the opportunity of Baines to go up and got a long pass from Gerrard. After running for a distance, he decisively passed the ball to the outside of the penalty area. Zhang Yuan who entered, Zhang Yuan swung his foot and planned to shoot from a long distance. He could choose to pass, but at this time he felt that shooting was also a good distance.

But he couldn't shoot the ball, Barry got it from somewhere, and tackled the ball from the side and rear, not only blocking Zhang Yuan's shot, but also shoveling Zhang Yuan to the ground.

Zhang Yuan's calf was bleeding from Barry's spikes, Atkinson's whistle blew, he awarded Liverpool a free kick, and the Everton players quit!
The ball obviously intercepted Zhang Yuan's shot first, but he couldn't stop the car with his feet and accidentally scratched Zhang Yuan. This was not a foul.

Barry pleaded cautiously with his hands folded, and kept repeating that he had scooped the ball first, and he already had a card on him. If Atkinson gave him another card, he would be off the field. This situation is undoubtedly against Everton. It was very unfavorable, but the situation was critical just now, and he had to do it, and it was him who lost Zhang Yuan, how could he not be in a hurry.

Liverpool players also ran past, putting pressure on Atkinson and asking Atkinson to send Barry off. Gerrard is the captain of the team, but he has a good relationship with Barry. The players from both sides mixed together, and the atmosphere was fierce. , Gerald didn't care about Barry at this time, and kept telling Atkinson that Zhang Yuan was still here. Look at the injury, how much movement can it do? !
Zhang Yuan was on the side, only Moreno looked after him, and called the team doctor to come on the field. The two team doctors of Liverpool, Ruben Pons and Paul Small, ran to the stadium with their equipment and checked Zhang Yuan's Injury situation.

Rodgers was full of anger. He complained constantly to the fourth official. He was furious. Zhang Yuan suffered more fouls on the field today than in the previous games. He lost two main players and injured two. He can foresee that his Liverpool days are numbered!
Smith and the surrounding fans cursed Barry and Atkinson loudly. It didn't matter whether Barry tackled the ball first or not. The important thing was that this action was absolutely dangerous. The side of Zhang Yuan's calf was already oozing blood.

In the end, Atkinson didn't give Barry another topaz card, but just gave Liverpool a free kick. The Liverpool fans booed everywhere, but it didn't change anything.

Then they saw Zhang Yuan slowly stand up from the ground and walked to the sidelines with the support of Pons and Small. Everyone applauded Zhang Yuan again. Many people were praying like Rogers, don't fuck Your injury is going to end, Liverpool is still pointing at you to continue your life!

Small cut open Zhang Yuan’s socks with scissors, and the side was indeed scratched, but it was only a skin trauma, not deep, but some blood flowed, and at this time, it seemed that it was about to stop on its own, Small Disinfect Zhang Yuan with disinfectant, then wipe it clean, and ask Zhang Yuan: "How do you feel!"

"It's much better! It hurts just now!"

"Well, don't worry, it won't be a big problem, it's just a skin injury!" Small comforted.

"Can I still play?!" Zhang Yuan looked at the wound and asked. He felt that there was nothing wrong with him, but he still had to ask the team doctor first.

The team's assistant coach, Marsh, also came here at some point and was listening carefully. He needs to understand Zhang Yuan's situation, and it is best to get a good result.

"I don't think it's a big problem! But let's treat the wound first, and then test it!" Small and Pons began to treat the wound. The wound was not big, but it was oozing blood and looked scary. The two simply I sewed it up a few times, and then wrapped Zhang Yuan with a little gauze, which might affect his movement, but the main purpose of this gauze is really not to protect Zhang Yuan's leg, but to fear that the wound will ooze again during the exercise. The blood stained the socks, and the referee asked Zhang Yuan to end the game again.
