When the English football world was shrouded in the haze of Terry's "Friends' Wife Gate", the 25th round of the Premier League came as scheduled.

Liverpool and Everton staged a Merseyside derby at Anfield.

David Moyes' team has improved recently, catching up from the middle and lower reaches of the standings to the middle and upper reaches.

When he was a guest at Liverpool, Moyes also had to give in at the pre-match press conference.

"We are facing the best Liverpool since the Premier League era. There is a certain gap between Everton and Liverpool, but we will work hard to win the game."

Just when Fleet Street predicted that Moyes would fight at Anfield in order to lead Everton into the European war, Everton showed a rare useless side at Anfield in recent years!

In the past, due to Everton's good record and rising strength, coupled with its ambition to enter the Champions League, the Merseyside Derby played very passionately.

However, in the Merseyside derby staged in this round of the Premier League, Everton may have no hope of entering the Champions League. In the past few years, it is not attractive to always play in the Europa League. In addition, Liverpool is in full swing, and Moyes' formation at Anfield The formation is simply three words: iron barrel formation!

Koeman was almost scolding his mother with anger on the sidelines!

Anyway, this is also a derby between sworn enemies!

It would be understandable if ordinary opponents shrank their defense due to the gap in strength.

But what is it to put up an iron barrel formation in the derby?

What is the meaning of derby?

Although Everton's failure to show courage will make the Red Army fans happy, it is not as real as a 3-point victory after all.

At the 88th minute of the game, Anfield's scoreboard still showed a score of 0:0.

Qin Xiong, Gerrard, and Alonso stood outside the Everton penalty area facing the goal. There was a football in front of them. All Everton players were in the second half.A human wall stands on the edge of the restricted area.

This is a direct free kick for Liverpool.

The sweaty Qin Xiong locked his eyes on the area in front of Everton.

He has scored four free kicks in a row, but today he was a bit unlucky, always missing the goal by a tiny bit.

Liverpool's indiscriminate bombing for 88 minutes was fruitless, but Everton's intensive defense still received some results.

"Will Everton retreat at Anfield? They did a good job defending today and never gave Liverpool a great chance to shoot. Although Liverpool has a lot of threatening shots, it is a pity that they lack some luck. "

Qin Xiong withdrew his gaze.After reviewing Everton's defensive positioning, he went back to discussing with Alonso and Gerrard.

After the "conspiracy" of the three, Qin Xiong was about to take a free kick.

He stood in front of the ball and started it, and the Everton defenders were extremely nervous as he ran towards the ball.

But Qin Xiong ran past the football and didn't touch the ball!

He rushed all the way to Everton's human wall!

behind him.Gerrard then rushed forward, looking like he was about to blast the door with a heavy bombardment!

The Everton players immediately thought that Qin Xiong was a cover and Gerrard would take the penalty.

But the moment Gerrard touched the ball, he flicked the ball slightly to the left.

Pass to Alonso!

Everton players thought it was Alonso to shoot!

At the same time, Qin Xiong, who was rushing towards Everton's human wall in a straight line, changed his position and rushed diagonally from the right side of the human wall to the hinterland of the penalty area!

When the Everton player pounced on Alonso, the Spaniard calmly sent a precise through ball!

Qin Xiong turned his head and took a look while running, the football was rolling quickly from behind him!

Anti-offside cut into the penalty area!

Everton's defense was immediately pierced by Liverpool's free kick attack!

Qin Xiong did not stop the ball in the penalty area.Adjust the running step by yourself and shoot directly with your right foot!

American goalkeeper Howard has already abandoned the goal, but he can't block the near corner of the goal. Qin Xiong shot from a small angle is the near corner of the goal.

Howard looks over his shoulder as the football rolls past him.I saw the football rubbing against the inside of the goal post and rolling into the goal!

Anfield is boiling!

"Qin Xiong! Qin Xiong! Qin Xiong! Qin Xiong! Qin Xiong! Qin Xiong! Qin Xiong! Qin Xiong! Qin Xiong! Qin Xiong! Qin Xiong! Qin Xiong!.."

The live broadcast commentator yelled Qin Xiong's name with forgetfulness, and that shout was heart-piercing!

Qin Xiong ran wildly around the sidelines of Anfield, setting off a red wave in the stands, and at the same time took off his jersey and threw it on the ground. When he stopped, he let out a wild roar!

Koeman also gritted his teeth on the sidelines and waved his fists to release!

Moyes slapped himself in the face again.Then he rubbed his face with his hands.

They defended helplessly for nearly 90 minutes, and they were about to take away a draw.

But he didn't expect to be killed by Qin Xiong!

Everton's substitution after 70 minutes has completely replaced the attacking players.Just to take away 1 point at Anfield, which made Everton unable to come back after falling behind!

When the game is over.Anfield erupted into an unprecedented uproar.

"Liverpool's 12th consecutive league victory! With 13 rounds left in the league, the probability of Liverpool winning the championship is rising! After this difficult Merseyside derby, I believe Liverpool's confidence will be stronger. Next Liverpool will enter the devil's schedule in the league, first of all, in the next round, they will be away at the Emirates Stadium to challenge Arsenal, and at the same time later this month, the Champions League knockout round will start, and Liverpool's biggest test for the title is coming!"

Koeman praised the Liverpool team after the game, even though it was not a big victory, but he believed that Liverpool's fighting spirit and willpower were the reasons for the final victory of the game, and this was far more important than the big victory of "abuse food". Significant!

Liverpool took the lead to win, Manchester United made their debut later, and the Red Devils blew Portsmouth 5-0 in Old Trafford!

Continue to chase Liverpool with a gap of 6 points behind!

The focus of this round of battle took place in the last game, at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea played at home against Arsenal.

Liverpool's players also watched the game live on TV.

In fact, at this time, Liverpool still supported Arsenal.

After all, Arsenal are too far behind them, and if Arsenal can cause trouble for Chelsea and let Chelsea lose points, it is tantamount to helping Liverpool defeat another competitor in a different direction.

But Wenger's team's record against BIG4 competitors in the past two years is really horrible!

In the first four BIG4 civil wars this season, Arsenal lost all!

Today ushered in the fifth game against Chelsea.

They were beaten by Didier Drogba's brace at Stamford Bridge!

In the BIG4 civil war this season, Arsenal have lost five games in a row!

Chelsea was able to continue to trail Liverpool by 8 points.

What about Arsenal?

Before facing Liverpool in the next round, they were 16 points behind Liverpool! (to be continued~^~)
