In short, Everton's tactics today are very clear, which is to prevent Liverpool from playing comfortably and limit Gerrard's long shots.Although Lewandowski's last game against Everton made Everton a shameful backdrop, Everton's coach Martinez did not arrange two or three players to specifically mark Lewandowski. Wandowski.

Martinez knows that Lewandowski is not the only one who can score goals in Liverpool. Which one of Neymar, James Rodriguez, and Gerrard is not a player with a very strong scoring ability?

In addition to these players, Pirlo and Modric are not players who can only pass the ball, and they have five or six goals every season.

Therefore, Martinez's tactics are very simple, directly strangling Liverpool's pass to Everton's penalty area.

If Lewandowski wants to get the ball, he can often only retreat very deep to get the ball.Waiting for Lewandowski to attack with the ball again, the difficulty of breaking the goal is not so great.

After all, Liverpool are better at scoring goals in blitzkrieg, not like Barcelona, ​​who suddenly change the rhythm of the game through slow passing and control, tear open the opponent's defense line, and create murderous intentions.

Li Wei could see Martinez's intentions at a glance, and defensive counterattacks were once his forte. He started his career in defensive counterattacks in Parma.But it's useless to understand, because the initiative is not on Liverpool's side. Everton is now leading, and Liverpool can only follow Everton's rhythm.

In the 209th minute of the game, Stefan Lichtsteiner assisted with the ball to the frontcourt. He saw that the bottom line was blocked and wanted to cross the ball to Modric in the middle to cooperate with his teammates, but Under the interference of Pienaar, the passing power was a little weaker. The ball was intercepted by Everton's midfielder McCarthy. McCarthy immediately looked for Lukaku in the frontcourt with a long-distance low-level ball. Lukaku knew Liverpool's defense It came quickly, he didn't stop the ball, he kicked the ball directly, and passed the ball diagonally to Pienaar.

Pienaar first ran off the ball along the wing after interfering with a pass from Stefan Lichtsteiner.

Liverpool's right flank was left unguarded before Stefan Lichtsteiner advanced.

Lukaku's pass directly tore through Liverpool's defense. Pienaar passed the ball across the center without defense, looking for Barkley and Shevchenko who advanced forward.

This was a very dangerous pass, and the hearts of the Liverpool fans in the stands raised their throats, but Varane ran two steps with long legs, risking an own goal, flew to the ground and shoveled the ball out of the baseline.

No. In the 304th minute, Gerrard dribbled forward and cooperated with Neymar, thinking that this matter reached the rib position of Everton's penalty area, but the football was cut off by the Everton defender, and Everton launched a simple and rude fast again fight back.

Central defender Jagielka kicked directly in his own penalty area, and the football was sent to the frontcourt.

Lukaku was not found this time, the football flew to the side and was picked up by Miralas.

Facing Liverpool left-back Ricardo Rodriguez, Miralas made a fake move to cut into the ribs of the penalty area, suddenly changed to the bottom, threw away Ricardo Rodriguez, and crossed the center to respond Lukaku, but Varane appeared in front of the football again and destroyed the ball in time.

Liverpool fans in the stands chanted Varane's name and created a simple "Song of Varane" on the spot.

"Varane! He's Liverpool's wall! Varane! He's Liverpool's wall!"

The lyrics are very simple, there are only two sentences coming and going, but it makes Varane very excited.

However, Varane's outstanding performance often means that Liverpool's gate is in danger.Otherwise, Varane, who is a central defender, will be in focus for a short time.

…………

In the 307th minute of the game, after receiving the ball, Modric made a 360-degree turn to avoid Barry's marking and passed the ball to Gerrard. The Liverpool captain found a chance and shot 26 meters in front of Everton. But the football was blocked by Everton defender Alcaraz with his body. For this reason, after Alcaraz fell to the ground, it took a while to stand up again.

Gerrard's heavy artillery is not so easy to block.

The football was grabbed by Everton midfielder Barkley. Barkley dribbled the ball and quickly launched a counterattack. Modric quickly chased back and destroyed the ball with a flying shovel. For this reason, he was verbally warned by the referee Atkinson.

Barkley personally took the free kick, and the football was hoisted directly into the Liverpool penalty area. It was Varane again. He headed out of the penalty area before Lukaku. Pirlo countered with a long pass. Opportunity, Lewandowski and Neymar rushed forward.

Pirlo's pass successfully echoed Neymar. Neymar didn't stop the ball, directly picked the football, and passed the central defender Alcaraz. But when he bypassed Alcaraz and wanted to catch up with the football, the goalkeeper Howard Already killed.

Howard grabbed the football with both hands before Neymar.

Then the game alternated between Liverpool's offense and Everton's counterattack. The harder Liverpool attacked, the more fierce Everton's counterattack. Both sides had opportunities, but neither was able to turn them into goals.

Such a situation seems to be in a state of balance of power for both sides, but in fact the situation is very unfavorable to Liverpool.Because Liverpool's players pressed into Everton's half and invested a large number of people to attack, except for the central defender, the two full-backs took turns to attack.But Everton doesn't consume much physical strength in offense. They often only invest in two to three players in offense, and these two to three players are not completely fixed. In addition to Lukaku, Barkley, Mirara Si and Pinal, even the two defensive midfielders McCarthy and Barry, and the full-back Baines are all likely to advance to participate in the attack.

Because it is not fixed, the number of counterattacks is not large, and it takes turns. There is enough time for Everton's players to recover.

In contrast, the physical fitness of Liverpool's players is mostly a joke. Every time Everton's players counterattack, they need to return from Everton's penalty area to their own penalty area.

This repeated sprinting back and forth is a major test for the physical fitness of Liverpool players. Liverpool's schedule is so tight, especially for several main players, their physical condition does not allow them to really run for 10 minutes. It's hard to say whether you can win the game, but the possibility of players being injured is very high.If Liverpool want to win the game, they must equalize the score as soon as possible, or even overtake the score, and regain the initiative and rhythm in their own hands.

Continuing to be led by Everton, Liverpool will definitely be contained by their opponents.
