Chapter 866 Everton's Door God
Chen Yu took the penalty kick. This is a desperate penalty kicker. Since Chen Yu debuted, the success rate of penalty kicks has exceeded 95%, which means that Chen Yu could only lose one if he had 20 penalty kicks. If Chen Yu's foot style is smoother, maybe dozens of them were fined without any mistakes. Will Howard be one of the 20th? No Everton player is optimistic about this.
After walking to the penalty spot, Chen Yu also showed enough confidence. He didn't even assist and stood one meter away next to the penalty spot.
Goalkeeper Howard was very nervous. He walked back and forth on the goal line, and occasionally waved his arms.
The commentator on the scene said helplessly: "Originally, the striker was nervous when he was punishing the penalty kick, but the goalkeeper was relaxed. Because it was normal for the penalty kick to be saved, the fans could accept it, and the goalkeeper was a hero. In this way, the psychological pressure of the goalkeeper was extremely small, and the forward scored the penalty kick was normal, and if he couldn't score in, he would definitely be scolded to death. The pressure was even higher than a single shot, but today it was reversed. It can be seen how much pressure Chen Yu put on the goalkeeper. However, Chen Yu also held it a little too high today. If he didn't assist, he would definitely not be able to shoot vigorously. Howard lost the problem of choice."
force!
As the referee Clattenberg's whistle rang, Chen Yu took a step forward and pushed his right foot towards the lower right corner of the goal. However, when his foot was about to approach the ball, Chen Yu paused a very small pause, and then pushed the ball to the left of the goal with the power of swinging his legs alone.
Chen Yu played psychologically. When a player made a free throw, the goalkeeper did not save the player when he saw the player kick the ball. It was too late, and seeing the direction and rotation clearly was useless. Therefore, the goalkeeper responded in advance, choosing the left and right sides or standing still, and not being able to save the direction clearly, and choosing a direction in advance would have at least 33% accuracy. Every goalkeeper calculated such a mathematical problem very clearly.
When Chen Yu raised his feet, Howard chose to pounce to the right. If Chen Yu didn't stop, he would be right, but Chen Yu paused for a moment to see where he was pounced, and then shot in the opposite direction.
Chen Yu's shot like this is also dangerous, because once Howard chooses not to move, his shot will be easily saved. The force of his legs alone is too small to prevent the goalkeeper from snatching.
Chen Yu's adventure was successful, the ball easily rolled into the left side of the goal, and the score became 1:1 tied.
After scoring the goal, Chen Yu ran to the goal net, picked up the ball, ran to the visiting team stands, and threw the ball at the fans.
At this time, Liverpool fans were already crazy. Chen Yu's throwing ball was like sprinkling a handful of salt into a pan. The Liverpool fans in the visiting stands competed for me, screaming constantly, as if they were in a frying pan.
At this time, Liverpool players also ran to the stands and threw Chen Yu to the ground, slapped his body, expressing their joy.
Benitez on the sidelines just made a fist clench when scoring the goal, and said nothing, and then he looked calm.
Benitez is very confident about Chen Yu's penalty kick. When he got the penalty kick, he knew he would score. During the next time, he was thinking about how to play this game with more and less so as to make the most profit. After all, the derby is not a simple three-pointer game, and there is a Champions League group stage in the middle of the week.
Moyes, who was not far from Benitez, also had the same idea as Benitez. He didn't expect Howard to be so brave that he saved Chen Bad's ball. He also thought about how to play in the following game.
Liverpool equalized the score, and Everton lost one person. The offense is definitely not a good match to attack or defend, but I’m afraid I can’t defend. This multiple-choice question is simply a torment for Moyes.
When the game started over, Moyes finally made a decision: not to substitute people! Attack!
The fans, reporters and commentators at the scene were shocked to see Moyes not substitute after full-back Hibert was sent off and directly continued the game with three defenders. Everton was facing Liverpool, who was invincible in the world, and actually played the formation of three defenders. Is Moyes crazy?
The commentator on the scene couldn't help but complain: "I don't know what Moyes was thinking about that genius. Shouldn't he replace a forward and a defender at this time? Does he hope to have a crushing defeat at home? It's really hard for mortals to understand the genius' thinking."
Chinese commentator Duan Xuan understood Moyes's idea and said, "It's really strange that Moyes doesn't replace people. Maybe Moyes thinks this way. If one person is missing, he will lose. It's better to lose more than a bachelor. Maybe he can win a reputation that is still honorable even if he loses."
Although Duan Xuan's statement was not far from hit, Everton did not shrink and counterattack, nor did he attack the iron barrel formation, but instead attacked.
Everton's offense in this situation was beyond Liverpool's expectations. They thought that Everton would continue to shrink and counterattack after being sent off, and save a draw. This was also a rational choice. After all, the strength of the two teams was different. After one person was missing, the gap even had to be widened two levels. Unexpectedly, Everton attacked hard at the kick-off. Liverpool's players were in a hurry and almost got attacked by Everton.
However, the gap in strength between the two teams was left there. Even if they were not prepared enough, Liverpool still resolved Everton's surprise attack and quickly stabilized his position and grabbed the ball back.
Almost sixty minutes have passed at this moment. Benitez relaxed. He waved his hands to push his players forward and gained the lead as soon as possible. He could not delay it for too long. If it reaches 80 minutes, Benitez probably will not play against Liverpool again. He may defend to the death. Now he dares to defend, probably because he cannot defend.
Liverpool's players are stronger than Everton and have more players than Everton, but they are pressed by Everton for almost ten minutes, which makes them very depressed. Even if Benitez doesn't say it, they will definitely play back, otherwise they will not be able to save face.
Liverpool's offense is still about Chen Yu, and the ball is constantly passing to Chen Yu, and the others are supporting around Chen Yu, with Chen Yu as the core, forming an offensive area at the front of Everton's penalty area.
Everton players have no choice but to use this tactic of Liverpool. If Chen Yu is double-teamed, Chen Yu will pass the ball, and the rest of Liverpool will have one-on-one opportunities. With Liverpool's personal ability, it is difficult to defend against one-on-one Everton players without fouls, but if the fouls are made, Chen Yu, Alonso and Liser's free kicks are very threatening.
There is no way to do this. Compared with the strong team, the teamwork and personal abilities are much worse. It is normal to be restrained when fighting, but it is abnormal to play smoothly.
In the 63rd minute of the game, Chen Yu passed the ball out under the double-team. Benayon dribbled the ball into the penalty area and passed it back to Liser. Liser pulled his feet and shot from twenty yards, and the ball flew out against the post.
Although this attack failed to break through Everton's goal, it opened the climax of Liverpool's offense. Afterwards, Liverpool had an absolute advantage on the field. Everton didn't want to defend and had no choice. They were suppressed by Liverpool in their own half and could not pass Liverpool's penalty area.
Liverpool flew together, and Liser and Finnan both pressed on both sides of Everton's penalty area. The offensive formation was very wide, making full use of the width of Goodison Park. At this time, Everton could no longer care about his sidewalk and could only tightly shrink his troops around the penalty area, allowing Liverpool to cross from the sidewalk.
In the 68th minute of the game, Finnish crossed the cross from the side, and Kuyt headed the ball around the crowd. Chen Yu blew upside down the golden hook with his back to the goal, and the ball hit the defender and bounced out of the baseline.
Although the ball did not go in, Chen Yu's stretched inverted gold hook still won applause from the whole hall.
Liverpool made a corner kick, and this time, two central defenders came to Everton's penalty area to compete. Everton's penalty area was overcrowded for a while.
Alonso took a corner kick, but there were too many people in the penalty area and they didn't hit it. The ball flew outside the penalty area and was obtained by the full-back Riser. Riser stopped the ball from his chest and directly pulled the ball towards the goal at a small angle.
At this moment, goalkeeper Howard had already arrived at the near corner with the ball, and Lisser's shot was blocked by his fists to the side.
There are still Liverpool players on the wing, and Liverpool's midfielder Bernardon is waiting here. Bernardon, who has excellent skills, sees goalkeeper Howard has arrived at the post, and he lifts the ball directly to the back corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Howard must not be able to go back, but Everton has many defensive players in the penalty area. When the ball was about to fall into the goal, Everton's central defender Yabo jumped high and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.
At this moment, there were more Liverpool players outside the penalty area than Everton. Mascherano volleyed sideways without waiting for the ball to land. Liverpool striker Kuyt, who was standing in the penalty area, did not dodge, and the ball hit him and bounced out of the bottom line.
Everton was overwhelmed by the pressure in the past few minutes. The Everton fans around him were worried. They finally had the chance to take a break. The caddie who picked up the ball next to him was the ball master. He knew that Everton now needed to stabilize, so he slowly picked up the ball, and his movements were as slow as slow motion.
Finally, the ball was handed over to goalkeeper Howard, and Howard also put the ball on the corner of the small penalty area. After putting it, he picked it up and stepped on the grass. It seemed that the uneven grass would affect his kick-off.
At this time, Liverpool players all protested, believing that Howard should have delayed the game and gave a yellow card warning, but referee Cratenberg ignored it.
American goalkeeper Howard is a very smart goalkeeper. He knew that after the corner kick was taken, most of the players would be taken by Liverpool. He waved his hand to signal his teammates to run to the side, and drove the ball to the side with his big feet.
This is a trick. If such a teammate can get it, it is of course the best. If you can't get it, you may fly out of the baseline. In this way, Liverpool will serve on the sidelines, and it will take a few more seconds.
Liverpool players also knew that Everton wanted to break their offensive rhythm and they tried their best to get the ball on the wing, but Howard deliberately did not want them to get it. The ball was high and floating. As soon as the players from both sides competed, the ball flew directly out of the sideline.
Liverpool's player quickly sent the sideline ball. After the ball was sent out, Hypia drove the ball into Everton's penalty area and continued to put pressure on Everton's goal.
Of course there is no threat to such a pass, but Liverpool does not hope that such a pass can create a threat. Their purpose is to pass the ball over and then attack Everton's goal near the penalty area. As long as the ball is in its own hands and as long as the offense can be sustained, it is only a matter of time to break Everton's goal.
The ball was pushed out in the penalty area, but without any suspense, the ball fell to the feet of Liverpool player Pennant again. Pennant dribbled the ball and broke hard, and the ball was interrupted by Everton's players, but there were also many Liverpool players. As soon as the ball was interrupted by Everton's players, Chen Yu immediately grabbed the ball back.
At this moment, Chen Yu also became more and more slaughtered. He dribbled the ball and buckled it directly into Everton's penalty area.
Perhaps Everton's players did not expect Chen Yu to drive the ball to the siege, but did not have time to foul outside the penalty area and were driven into the penalty area by Chen Yu to drive the ball.
As soon as a player enters the penalty area, it is safe. No one dares to foul him, so he can only double-team defense.
When Chen Yu rushed into the penalty area, the ball was stuck at his feet, and there were people around him, including Everton and Liverpool. Chen Yu had no time to adjust and had no way to shoot, so he could only go to the bottom line.
Everton's players are going to drive Chen Yu to the bottom line. The deeper Chen Yu goes to the bottom line, the smaller the shooting angle, and the easier it will be for them to defend.
However, Chen Yu is worthy of being a sharpshooter, with skills and courage. When he was about to bring the ball to the bottom line, he suddenly pushed the ball to the wicket between the legs of the goalkeeper Howard, who was standing in the near corner, was hit by the goalkeeper Howard.
This shot was not a sudden for goalkeeper Howard. He always stood in a close corner and was waiting for Chen Yu to shoot. However, the distance was too close, and it was useless for him to prepare well. In an emergency, he clamped his legs and the ball was pinched, but it was not clamped, and he slowly rolled towards the goal.
It seemed that the ball was beyond help. There was no one behind Howard, but Howard suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He sat back and sat down under his butt.
Seeing Howard blocking the ball in this magical way, the entire stadium was in an uproar, and Liverpool fans couldn't help laughing.
Duan Xuan, the Chinese commentator at the scene, said helplessly: "Awesome! I only know that someone who scored goals with his butt, but today I saw someone who used his butt to pounce again... It was a magical stroke, but Chen Yu couldn't exert force. If he could exert force, the ball would directly pass through two goals and fly to the goal net.
At this time, Everton boss Ken Wright and Earl in the box couldn't help laughing after being frightened and stunned. Ken Wright said: "Howard's reaction is also world-class."
Earl smiled and said, "It's our American football superstar. If it weren't for his brave performance today, we would be behind now, so it wouldn't be blamed for that ball."
Kenwright said: "There are not many people in the world who can defend Chen Yu's penalty kick. It would be nice to get a draw today."
In another box, Gillette praised Howard while regretting Chen Yu, saying, "Howard's reaction is too fast, today he is world-class."
Hicks smiled, "Maybe he knows that four American bosses are coming to see him today."
Gillette sighed: "If Howard did not make a low-level mistake, he would be world-class. I don't know how many shots he could block Chen Yu today."
Hicks said: "I guess it can't be stopped. No one can stop Chen Yu. I hope to be faster and don't drag it to the end. If it drags to the end, it will be hung up."
Benitez on the sidelines did not laugh, he only felt regretful. Such a good opportunity but failed to score a goal. Howard must be excited. It is not a good thing for the goalkeeper to be excited. A good goalkeeper is equivalent to half a team. Howard is the kind of excited player who reacts quickly. He can save any ball when he starts crazy, otherwise he would not have been attracted by Ferguson to replace French goalkeeper Butters.
Benitez's concerns are not without reason. Many times the goalkeeper can also decide the outcome of the game. If the goalkeeper can save four or five goals in one game, the forward's mentality will also collapse. Benitez can only pray that Howard will not be so perverted at this time.
However, Benitez soon discovered that his concerns became real. After saving Chen Yu's crotch-walking shot, Howard really went crazy. Afterwards, he saved Chen Yu, Kuyt and Riser three threatening shots. The most amazing thing was that in the 75th minute, Chen Yu broke into the penalty area and passed back. Benayon's push shot five meters away from the goal was blocked by Howard with his legs.
At this moment, Liverpool had an absolute advantage on the field. Everton's defense was riddled with holes, but in the end he was unable to break through Howard's ten fingers.
In the 77th minute of the game, Liser made a strong cross from the side, the ball was fast and spinning. Chen Yu jumped high and headed the ball to the dead corner of the goal less than ten meters away from the goal. This was a must-scoring goal. Liverpool fans stood up and applauded, but Howard actually hit the ball on the post with his fingertips and bounced out.
Seeing this scene, all the Evertons cheered for Howard, and the commentator on the scene also believed that if Everton could defend a draw today, Howard would become Everton's savior.
Benitez finally couldn't help it at this time. He replaced two players at once. Forward Crouch replaced defender Hepia, forward Vorenin replaced Mascherano, and four forwards used the last striker to make his last try. If he couldn't score a goal like this, he wouldn't have any tricks.
