Six Hundred and Sixty-Nine Real Challenges!

The Merseyside Derby ended at half-time, and Liverpool led Everton 2-0.

After returning to the locker room, Situ Yunbing asked the team to strengthen control of the rhythm of the scene in the second half.

After the intermission, the two teams returned to the field to continue fighting.

I have to say that Everton under Martinez has enriched their playing style a lot, with both wings flying together, passing and cutting penetration, and the triangular cooperation in the fast break is also in place, but after the core is restricted by Lukaku at the scoring point, no matter how many opportunities there are, it will not be converted into goals!

What's more, after Liverpool controlled the situation of the scene, they strangled the opponent's offensive organization as much as possible, while Liverpool slowly and patiently looked for opportunities.

The confrontational mood of the game is not very strong, and it may be a little different from the previous Merseyside derby shouting and killing. If the current contest is less bloody and courageous than before, then the technical and tactical gold content has improved a lot.

Everton's attack on Liverpool's defense in different ways failed to achieve results, and the result was that Liverpool's fast break broke the defense when they were exhausted!

Eriksson sent a wonderful pass, Vardy controlled the ball in the penalty area and changed direction to get rid of Raj's defense, then rubbed the ball into the goal!

Liverpool secured the victory 3-0 Everton at home!

The Red Army fans in the stands were particularly excited, and they were happy to be able to get back on track in the rival derby.

Martinez is somewhat helpless, but he will not be too obsessed. First, let alone Everton’s gap with Liverpool. It is difficult for them to have the upper hand in the competition of Arsenal, Tottenham, and Manchester United. Moreover, today is an away game. I wanted to take advantage of the danger and beat Liverpool by surprise, but Situ Yunbing is Situ Yunbing after all. It is very timely to plan and adjust the team. Liverpool stopped the downward trend and returned to the track of victory!

When the game is over, the number fixed on the score board is 3:0.

Liverpool won the derby with a not-so-strong victory!

Situ Yunbing and Martinez shook hands friendly after the game, and then praised Everton's performance in the game in an interview.

"Our opponents worked very hard, their desire to win is no less than Liverpool, they showed their fighting spirit with their actions, but Liverpool played very well today, especially in defense.

Everybody knows we need a win badly,

I am proud that the team can perform like this at a critical moment. Now we must lower our profile and keep our feet on the ground. "

Martinez was full of emotion after the game.

"When people say Liverpool are short of major generals, they put in a fantastic show to prove how irrelevant the rumors are, and today we came to Anfield with the goal of winning, and despite everyone's hard work, the results only let us down.

This derby made us realize that we need to work harder, because you can't imagine how strong Liverpool will be if all the injured Liverpool return to the starting lineup! "

In this round, Liverpool took the lead in taking all 3 points in the early game, and the pressure seems to have shifted to Chelsea.

Situ Yunbing didn't care about Chelsea's results, he only cared about Chelsea's state and performance.

In the later game, Chelsea also used a 3:0 victory over Aston Villa to declare their strength in the new season!

Manchester United and Manchester City also won at the same time, while Arsenal drew 1-1 with Tottenham in the north London derby.

Liverpool are still three points behind Chelsea in the standings.

Liverpool is fighting on multiple fronts, the second round of the Champions League group stage begins, and they will face Benfica at home.

The Portuguese Super League has always produced monsters, and Benfica's lineup is also quite important. Players like Enzo Perez, Lima, Salvio, Almeida, etc. are all coveted by European first-tier clubs.

But the Portuguese Super League team has always been very dark. This is from Porto, a famous black shop in Europe. It seems that if they don’t sell their stars for 30 million yuan, they basically have no interest in negotiating business.

But it is another matter to say how strong the Portuguese Super League team is.

The reason why Portugal surpasses the demons is because the growth environment makes it easier for young players to produce good-looking statistics in a strong team system!

Sporting Lisbon, Porto, Benfica, and other teams other than the three giants of the Portuguese Super League are far inferior to the three giants in terms of financial resources and competitiveness.

So as long as the players in these three giants are willing to work hard in the game, their statistics are basically not bad.

But in the European arena, the competitiveness of the Portuguese Super League teams is extremely limited. Like the miracle of Porto winning the European Champions Cup 10 years ago, I don’t know if it will take several decades to replicate.

Situ Yunbing made a certain rotation in this home game.

Gerrard, Henderson and Casemiro form the midfield, Mahrez, Vardy and Sane form the striker.

Too many injuries at the beginning of the season disrupted Situ Yunbing's employment strategy, but this will not cause him trouble. Of course, the purpose of strengthening the team's lineup is not simply training and upgrading, but to cope with such a complex situation and difficult environment.

Benfica came to Anfield and played a defensive counterattack consciously, while Liverpool still focused on control at home, patiently creating opportunities to put pressure on their opponents.

Recently, Liverpool's offensive aggressiveness has declined, but it has relatively improved its control over the game. Situ Yunbing looks optimistically, which is also a kind of training and improvement for the team.

The game was relatively dull, but the patient Liverpool still seized the few opportunities in the game.

At the beginning of the second half, Gerrard sent an overhead cross in the frontcourt. Sane cut inside and knocked the ball back to the middle of the penalty area before the football went out of bounds.

Vardy made a clever oblique thrust to grab a point shot and sent the ball into the upper left corner of the goal!

Liverpool finally broke the deadlock at home and took the lead!

Benfica began to counterattack, but the effect was not very satisfactory. The combination of Coulibaly and Benatia still controlled the defense in the key area of ​​​​the penalty area very well. Benfica almost did not create a threatening shot because the position of the kicker was not very good.

In the 81st minute of the game, Mahrez launched an offensive from the right. Gerrard, who quickly advanced into the penalty area, received Mahrez's cross and scored with a header. Liverpool made another victory to seal the victory!

When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, Situ Yunbing calmly shook hands with Benfica coach Gabriel Jesus.

This 2:0 victory does not seem to reflect the strength of Liverpool as the defending champion, but Situ Yunbing is very satisfied.

Now is not the stage of Liverpool's revival. In the stage of revival, other teams will not pay as much attention to Liverpool as they do now. At that time, many top teams will regard Liverpool as a meal on the plate, and the first-tier teams with good strength will also expect to stab Liverpool twice to taste.

But now, for many teams, being able to draw with Liverpool is no less than the excitement brought about by a victory, and if they can beat Liverpool by chance, it is really enough to be proud of!

At this stage, Liverpool is full of wounded soldiers, and what they need is victory to stabilize the team's emotions and hearts. Other things, whether they play well or not, and whether the scene is dominant, are secondary.

The two consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage will put the pressure on Liverpool to compete in the Champions League in the short term in the future, that is, there is a fault tolerance rate.

Back in the league, Robertson returned from injury on the weekend and was directly placed in the starting lineup. Liverpool sat at home against visiting West Brom.

As expected, the opponent put up an iron bucket formation, and it was still a very aggressive defensive style!

At Anfield, when Coutinho broke West Brom's goal with a direct free kick, the Red Army fans cheered excitedly for him, but they didn't expect that just 6 minutes after he scored, Coutinho was seriously violated by his opponent and directly injured and retired!

Situ Yunbing's face was already livid on the sidelines.

This happened to be a Robertson, and Coutinho followed into the ward!

It's no wonder Situ Yunbing is in a good mood!

West Brom seized a mistake by Liverpool's midfielder and played a quick counterattack. One of the few shots in the game that hit the goal range hit an absolute dead end!

Liverpool's lead was wiped out immediately!

Sane, who came on as a substitute for Coutinho, disappointed Situ Yunbing with his performance on the court.

When he fell into the muscle group again, he was a little lost, only the ball under his feet was in his eyes, that was a nervous expression, and he was a little afraid of confronting the opponent, avoiding the opponent!

Originally, West Brom compressed the space and tried their best to defend, leaving Liverpool with very little space to attack. It is conceivable how bad Sane's performance will be.

This forced Situ Yunbing to directly replace Skrtel in the last 10 minutes. Why?

Because Benatia and Coulibaly went directly to the penalty area and used them as high strikers!

In the second minute of stoppage time, Robertson made a 45-degree pass from the wing!

In the densely populated area in front of West Brom's goal, Koulibaly and Benatia disrupted West Brom's defense, but Azpilicueta unexpectedly nodded behind the goal and scored!

After Azpilicueta scored a goal, he undressed and ran wildly on the sidelines, setting off a spectacular wave of people in the stands!

Situ Yunbing also looked a little better, but probably no one could see his embarrassment now.

The shortage of personnel and the harsh competition situation made Situ Yunbing really feel what it means to be an enemy of the whole world after more than six years since his debut!

No matter whether it is the Premier League or Europe, no one has risen up, but they are tacitly attacking Liverpool. They don't want to see Liverpool win again. This is the most brutal and intense stage of competition!

Is Liverpool's enemy Chelsea?

It is on the standings!

But Liverpool have to fight against all opponents!

They formed an "anti-Liverpool rule" force!

They don't care who wins the title, but it can't be Liverpool!

At this time, Situ Yunbing gritted his teeth, he wanted to survive, and he wanted to continue to make the team stronger!

Perhaps at this time he really realized what kind of challenge Liverpool is facing this season. Only by overcoming such a challenge can Liverpool continue to sit on the throne. If they lose, then Liverpool will step down from the altar.
