Football’s First Defender

Chapter 344: History-breaking hat trick

Gerrard, who succeeded in the lob shot, ran directly under the stands of Liverpool KOP fans to celebrate wantonly.

For Gerrard, the team that he most wants to break through the opponent's gate is Manchester United at first, and Everton at second.

In the Merseyside Derby, Gerrard just used this goal to declare that his injury was OK, he could quickly enter the game state, and make his own contribution to the team's final sprint in the league.

Everton’s coach Moyes was on the sidelines, somewhat helpless and a little angry.

This time, the goalkeeper and the central defender had problems with the goalkeeper and the central defender. The goalkeeper's position was too far forward. He didn't have the courage to try to attack at the critical moment. He stepped back and did not quickly return to the goal line area. , Which gave Gerrard enough space to lob.

As for the central defender, Bynes habitually went to the right flank to defend his side player, and the gap left by the attack, but ignored that Liverpool had no offensive players at the time, and could threaten the wing at the first time. So that there is only Jajelka in the middle.

It was also the Everton players who were too careless and took it for granted. He did not expect that Liverpool's counter attack would be so fast and the pass would be so accurate.

Henderson used an excellent long pass to directly hit the weakest position of Everton’s defense. Together with the active forward counterattack of Liverpool’s frontcourt players, Gerrard’s brilliant lob was created. Hit the door.

After successfully taking the lead, Liverpool's defensive vigor was even stronger.

Moreover, in this game, Everton can play as a striker because of his injury. The strength is really not flattering.

Nigerian, Anichebe is not an efficient shooter himself, and another Argentine striker, Dennis is also not as good as his personal strength.

The personal strength of the two is actually not easy to threaten Scott, let alone a serious offensive threat to Yang Feng, who has a stronger personal defense.

Everton's offense is more about relying on constant impact, trying to see if it is possible to get a surprise.

However, Yang Feng's low error rate makes Everton's offense with limited manpower, there is no good way at all.

At the end of the half, Everton had only 3 shots, and he had not shot within the goal range. Liverpool’s defense played exceptionally well today, and Everton’s offense was firmly locked.

During the intermission, Liverpool Dalglish only needs to prepare a defensive counterattack strategy step by step. If Everton does not attack, then Liverpool will try to rely on passing and controlling to continue to take the initiative.

As for the visiting team, Moyes is preparing to adjust the attack line. Everton will definitely focus on offense in the second half. Since he has fallen behind, only offense can he recover the score and limit Liverpool’s winning momentum in the league. .

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Everton's attacker Jelavic was replaced and replaced the forward Anichebe who did not play in the second half.

Moyes hopes that Jelavic's off-ball running in the penalty area can create more opportunities for Everton.

However, when the effect of Everton's substitutions has not yet appeared, Liverpool's counterattack has already worked in advance.

It was also an opportunity for a quick counterattack, and it was Gerrard who used his tireless running to usher in a good opportunity for scoring.

With Jelavic’s appearance, Everton’s midfielder’s passing is not limited to passing from the side, and occasionally uses a through ball or pick pass, trying to find Jelavic running around. odd.

However, if you dare to pass the ball in multiple ways, you must consider the possible consequences of passing the ball.

Pinar boldly picked the ball into the penalty area, but Yang Feng, who was very focused, directly judged the route and grabbed the ball directly.

And Yang Feng, who leaned Jelavic behind him, pushed forward by himself after he got the ball, and no Everton player could complete the press and defend at close range.

Yang Feng had enough time to adjust, and then he made a long pass to Everton's half.

Yang Feng's long pass was looking for a gap on the left.

Everton's right-back position in the second half of the game, because of the offensive end, left enough space behind him.

And when Suarez and Carol rushed to the center to grab a spot, the one who went to the left to catch the ball was still the tireless Gerrard.

Yang Feng's passing skills, as no one interfered this time, demonstrated extremely well.

The ball directly landed on the unguarded area of ​​the wing, and then the ball flew forward, so that after Gerrard caught up with the ball, he had already reached the left side of the penalty area, which could threaten his opponent Zhao Cheng enough.

Seeing no hope of fighting for the first place, Bynes could only retreat into the penalty area to seek defense against Gerrard.

However, Bynes has too much to worry about, because Carol and Suarez’s quick insertions have allowed Liverpool to have excellent offensive players in the center and back points to form a response, close to 3 to 3 Under the circumstances, Bynes must be careful not only that Gerrard may hit the goal by himself, but also find a way to prevent Gerrard from passing the ball out and create a threat in front of the goal.

And Gerrard controlled the ball himself, facing Bynes' defense, stepped close to Bynes in small steps, and then suddenly chose to play.

After Gerrard's sudden start, Bynes's first thought was to stop Gerrard's pass, because the light of his eyes had already noticed that Suarez and Carol behind him had already started. , Ready to accept Gerrard's pass.

Bynes, who also started, has been paying attention to the subtle movements of Gerrard's feet. Seeing that Gerrard also left the ground with his left foot, he should be ready to take his left foot to pass the ball, and the right foot can no longer smash the ball to complete the inner cut.

So Bynes is confident and boldly leaning forward and blocking the pass as much as possible.

However, Gerrard was bold, his left foot in the air did not completely move away. Instead, he used the back heel of his left foot to gently knock the sporty football in the air, and then knocked back to his right foot. It was like jumping a ballet in place, regaining control of the ball on the right foot, but already completely shook the center of gravity of Bynes.

After that, his left foot stepped back on the ground, and his right foot made another move. On the left side of the penalty area and the angle was large enough, Gerrard himself completed a volley to hit the goal!

"GOAL!!!"

"Gerald! Flickering in the penalty area, completely shook the defensive center of Bynes, and then a very high-quality volley shot for Liverpool to extend the score advantage to two goals!"

"Gerard scored twice in this game. Will he have a chance to become the first player in the history of the Premier League to complete a hat-trick in the Merseyside Derby?"

Only in the 57th minute of the second half, thanks to Yang Feng's precise long backcourt pass, Gerrard used his personal ability to score again, which inflicted a heavy blow on Everton.

After thinking about it, Moyes decided to continue his offense on the road. After all, there is still more than half an hour in the game. With the offensive rhythm of the Premier League, if Everton can really catch the opportunity, it may not be impossible to complete the reversal.

For this reason, Moyes directly slapped the remaining two cards in his hand and replaced another striker who performed equally poorly. At the same time, he also changed a player in the midfield. Everton wanted to rely on the change of players. To re-create a threat on the offensive end.

Of course, Moyes also focuses on the players. He must defend Gerrard and defend Gerrard firmly. No one can let Gerrard score.

In the history of the Merseyside Derby, Moyes can bear a big score and lose, but he must not allow a player of pure Liverpool descent to complete the first hat-trick of the Merseyside Derby in the history of the Premier League.

Next, in addition to launching the offense, Everton has been arranging the tightest defense against Gerrard in the midfield.

Especially in the several counterattacks of Liverpool, it is better to give Suarez or Carroll the opportunity to attack, but also to limit Gerrard's catching attack for the first time.

The score of 2 to 0 hasn't changed much. Everton's offense today is met with iron. There is no way to get a threatening shot.

Even with long shots, Liverpool's midfield defense did not give Everton too many opportunities.

Towards the end of the game, Everton only completed 7 shots, and only one long shot was within the range of the goal frame, but it was also shot directly into Renner’s arms without causing any damage. Threatened.

Seeing that the game time is almost over, but Gerrard has no intention of stopping to rest in the last few minutes.

This Merseyside Derby is second only to the importance of the "Double Reds". For Gerrard, he devoted himself to it throughout the game. If he can perform better, he will never retain his energy~www .lightnovelpub.net~ When the Everton players were also relaxed because of 2 minutes of stoppage time, Gerrard continued to use his crazy running to continue the press defense.

"Everton's conduction ball is too careless!"

"When passing the ball across, Gerrard who reacted to steal the ball directly!"

"In the final moments of the game, Gerrard was still full of energy, stealing Everton's pass and directly counterattack!"

"The defensive line formed by Jagilka and Bynes obviously did not form a tacit understanding in the first place."

"Jagielka, who was the first to grab, did not expect that Gerrard still had such ample physical strength. Gerrard was directly accelerated to get rid of the outside line and passed!"

"Byrns' defense was fairly timely, but Gerrard still stubbornly maintained his balance under Bynes's physical confrontation."

"Outside the penalty area, Gerrard suddenly chose a long shot under the interference of Bynes' defense!"

"The ball is scored!!!"

"Gerard!"

"In the final moments of the game, Gerrard completed a hat trick!"

"One kick in the world!"

"Gerard became the first person in the history of the Premier League to complete a hat-trick in the Merseyside Derby!"

"This is a game for Gerrard!"

"400 Premier League milestones, Merseyside Derby has once again a player completed a hat-trick after 30 years!"

"In 1982, Ian Rush was still in League One when he completed his hat-trick, and 30 years later, Gerrard took over from his predecessors and became the first player to complete a hat-trick in the Merseyside Derby in the Premier League. !"

"Fantastic game, outstanding performance! Tonight, Gerrard is the most shining star at Anfield!"
