Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 24 Was Equalized

Goals were scored, red cards were eliminated, and substitutions were made on the field, and the field was also very lively.

Everton fans were busy applauding Lukaku and Naismith who were about to play, and Tranmere fans also sang the team song to celebrate the lead.

The officials of the youth department of the FA also disappeared with the end of the three U17 players, so many reporters could not find anyone to slap their faces.

Steve Walsh is looking forward to Zhang Mai's next performance. If he can lead the team to withstand the counterattack of Everton's Premier League class, it will prove that Zhang Mai has the qualifications to gain a foothold in the Premier League.

Even Jian Ming knew the significance of the next battle to Zhang Mai, and Hua Guo once again appeared as a player who was qualified for the five major leagues.

After the re-kick-off, Zhang Mai stuck to Everton's No. 14 Naismith, trying not to let him have the opportunity to connect the frontcourt calmly.

Naismith is a Scottish international. He is 28 years old this year. He has played in the Scottish Premier League and the English Championship. He has strong attacking power, fierce style, good passing and long-range shooting ability. Now is the peak of his career. Ku and Miralas together form Everton's frontcourt attack iron triangle.

Naismith was entangled by this Chinese man who was similar in height and weight to him, and the two slowly turned into a hand-to-hand fight.

However, the level of competition in the Premier League is still far stronger than that of Tranmere. Everton only lost one player in the defense. The remaining midfielders No. 23 Coleman, No. 1 Osman, and No. 2 Barkley quickly suppressed After leaving Powell, Coomass and Laird, Tranmere's big penalty area was full of jitters.

Lukaku, who is 191cm tall and weighs 90kg, is like a black giant elephant, messing up Tranmere's restricted area. With 2vs1, Donaghien and Stockton can only support desperately.

Another Everton striker, No. 31 Atsu, was invisible for most of the half, and now he is also activated by Lukaku. Don't dare to move lightly.

If you defend for a long time, you will lose, not to mention that Tranmere's defense is still three levels behind Everton's offense.

Everton's Ross Barkley and his teammate hit the wall and easily broke through the right-sided defense of Powell and Isekui. Ross Barkley quickly rushed to the bottom line and made an inverted triangle cross.

On the 31st, Atsu rushed to the front point of the incoming ball line, feinted a shot and took away Tranmere captain Holness who was following up.

Lukaku, who followed up in the middle, grabbed the cross and insisted on carrying Donassien and Stockton to shoot vigorously.

Tranmere's goalkeeper Williams was blocked by Stockton for a moment. When he saw the ball, he had no time to fall to the ground to save, and watched the ball rush into the far corner.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooool! Everton's No. 10 Lukaku is like a god, ignoring the defense and pulling back a goal for Everton in the 74th minute!"

The voice of the on-site commentator was like a shot of chicken blood, which aroused the cheers of the Everton fans in the audience.

Martinez, who was sitting on the coach's bench, didn't even get up, just applauded and celebrated, and the reaction from the bench behind him was also very flat.

But Tim Devine, the director of the youth training camp in the audience, was so excited that he jumped and cheered for a long time, as if he scored the goal just now.

"Our Lukaku has shown his power, and the nightmare of the Huaguo boy has begun!"

"Hehe..." Ensworth on the side was in a conflicted mood.

Even if Everton reversed and won this game, does it have anything to do with your youth training?Didn't see your three geniuses rolled down!

Everton, the dignified Premier League team, Lukaku alone is worth more than a dozen Tranmere teams. Are you so happy to score a goal?

But you are wearing Everton's skin, I really don't want to scold you, depressed!

Zhang Mai was also very depressed. Looking at the Everton players celebrating the goal, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

I have tried my best to hold back the opponent's midfield engine, but...

But we still led by one goal, and the opponent was sent off, and there was a loophole in the rear!
Yes, I tried my best, but I didn't put my heart into it. Why should I trade with the other party when Tranmere is the strongest!

I should have gone to Everton's backcourt to overwhelm the river, even if it was a delay.

Zhang Mai immediately called Bell Badger over to finalize the exchange of positions between the two, and then ran to the backcourt to discuss with Powell and captain Holness that the midfielder and the backcourt would not be inverted, and he would directly kick the frontcourt in a clearing style. Reduce the amount of time the ball spends in your own half.

The game continued, and the situation on the field changed a little.

The Tranmere players stepped up the press, and did not reorganize after grabbing the ball. They just moved forward with their big feet, looking for the forward strikers.

Bell Badger returned to the midfield to fight with Naismith, and Zhang Mai stood at the forefront of the arc in the middle circle.

Martinez on the sidelines didn't pay attention to these changes, so what if the strongest came forward?I didn't see that there were two Premier League central defenders staring at them.

Steve Walsh in the audience's eyes lit up after seeing these changes, good boy, the attacking enemy is the weakest, this is going to be the leader alone, and he is desperate to survive.

Tranmere's midfield kicked the ball in the air aimlessly, and Zhang Mai had to work hard to chase every frontcourt ball.

One out of ten, Zhang Mai once rushed to Everton's empty left baseline. Although he was finally strangled by the chasing center back and the backing full back, the two Everton full backs were still not happy. Dare to presumptuously assist again.

Zhang Mai restrained Everton's two central defenders and half of the full-backs in the front, which is equivalent to one person holding back three. Tranmere's defensive pressure in the backcourt of 9vs6 also eased a lot, and there was a stalemate on the field for a while. scene……

With only 8 minutes left, the Tranmere players mustered their last spare energy to fight, intercept and block positions desperately to keep their goal.

Everton's defenders were also ready to move, looked at Zhang Mai who was beside him, but gave up the idea of ​​stepping forward to assist.

Bell Badger's defensive skills were still a bit weak. He was pushed away by Naismith at the front of the penalty area. Seeing that the opponent was about to launch a long-range shot, the red-eyed Bell Badger pulled the opponent down from behind.

"Qu", the referee whistled, Everton won a direct free kick at the front of the penalty area, Bell Badger was also warned by a yellow card.

Naismith directly attacked the goal, and a heavy artillery shot hit the leg of the player who lined up the wall, refracted and flew into the goal after changing direction.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooool! This time it was Everton's midfield engine, Naismith, who fired a heavy bombardment and scored the second goal to help the home team equalize at 85 minutes."

The voice of the on-site commentator sounded again, and was immediately overwhelmed by the cheers from [-] Everton fans.

Tranmere fans fell silent in the stands, and Bell Badger covered his eyes in pain.

"Bell Badger, cheer up, it's just a draw! I would do the same thing in that situation."

Zhang Mai walked over and hugged his sad teammate.

"Besides, if I want to kill Everton, I still count on your wonderful pass!"

"Really, boss, we can beat Everton"

Bel Badger's eyes shone with hope.

"Yeah, as long as you pass it, I can kick that damn ball in!"

Zhang Mai's confident look shone brightly in Bell Badger's eyes.

……

Tranmere's coach Edwards also became nervous, but he continued to encourage the players loudly and insisted on dragging the game into penalties in the last 5 minutes.

There is no overtime or rematch in the England FA Cup. After 90 minutes of a tie, the penalty kick will be decided. Everyone knows that the mysterious penalty kick can ignore the difference in strength.

"One more, and drive the damned Tranmere back across the river!"

Academy director Tim Devine, who has been dancing since Naismith's goal, is shouting.

Unsworth also agrees with this point. It is too embarrassing for a Premier League team to lose to a League Two team. No one can say for sure when it comes to penalty kicks.
