I'm 198cm tall. Are you giving me a Maradona template?

Chapter 224 The nightmare of other Premier League teams

Anfield was boiling again.

Huge cheers shook the entire stadium.

All Liverpool fans jumped up from their seats and shouted Sunshine's name.

Scoring two goals in a derby like this is the best way to win the support of Liverpool fans.

"This was Sunshine's first time playing in a Merseyside derby and he scored twice before the game was even over!"

A close-up of Yangguang appeared on the TV screen. After volleying the ball into the goal, Yangguang stood there and looked around the court.

One after another, the Liverpool players rushed up and hung on him.

Two goals ahead.

Liverpool players can now rest assured.

Everton's counterattack will no longer be a threat, and they don't have to worry about their opponents' stubborn defense.

Anyway.

With two goals in hand, Liverpool was already invincible.

The next challenge belongs to Everton.

"We will definitely win!"

"They're finished! They're finished!"

"That's right! We're going to win! They're finished!"

The Liverpool players are very excited.

And on the other side.

Everton players such as Michael Keane, Baines, Sigurdsson, Pickford and others looked dazed and dejected.

Williams kicked the turf angrily.

He thought he had every confidence in kicking the ball, but it turned out that the opponent's legs were ten centimeters longer than his and he was only less than half a second faster.
Sigurdsson was completely reduced to the background of this goal.

The Icelandic sniper spat fiercely, and turned his head to look at the sun in surprise.
"Fuck, is this the kind of action and reaction a two-meter-tall person can do?"

he wondered.

Michael Keane on the side couldn't help but correct: "He's less than two meters tall."

Sigurdsson rolled his eyes.

Generally speaking.

The taller the person.

The less flexible your body is.

Because the weight is greater and the center of gravity is higher, it means it is more difficult to change one's own inertia.

Otherwise, why are people with short stature and low center of gravity usually more flexible?

Who would have thought.

Yangguang is a tall guy who is 1.98 meters tall.

In a short period of time, he kicked the ball twice in succession, lightly picked up the ball, turned and changed direction twice, and finally shot it directly without waiting for the ball to land.

The total time of the two dribbles was probably less than two seconds.
Anyway, Sigurdsson felt that it would be difficult for him to perform such a move in such a small space and time.
"In short, this guy is not a human being at all!"

Sigurdsson said depressedly.

The other Everton players did not refute him.

Because in their opinion.
Sigurdsson is right.

That guy really is a monster.

Everton's morale was almost destroyed by Sunshine's goal.

After the game.

Everton players also wanted to score a goal as soon as possible to narrow the gap to one point and retain a little hope.

When they want to attack.

But found.
I wasn't fully prepared to attack at all.

This is normal. Before this, everyone in Everton was thinking about how to defend.

Now let them suddenly change from a defensive posture to an offensive posture.

This transformation is difficult to complete in a short period of time.

Forcing the attack will only expose the space in the backcourt.

Allardyce was also very helpless when he saw this scene.

However, to be honest, this cannot be blamed on Allardyce. He used to coach relegation teams. The mentality of relegation teams playing Liverpool away is basically "if I can get points, I will earn them, and if I can't, I won't lose either."

For the relegation teams, some teams should fight with all their strength, and some teams should retreat appropriately and conserve their energy.

This is all carefully calculated.

But Everton is different.

They are not in danger of relegation and this is a derby, one their fans really want to win.

But now Allardyce really has no other tricks up his sleeve.

Falling behind by two goals, the only solution was to replace the attacker.

But Allardyce has little confidence in Everton's control.

Once the attack.

It is very likely that Liverpool will continue to get opportunities to launch transition counterattacks.

In the case of shrinking defense.

Liverpool's two wingers have played such a big role.

If the backcourt space is large enough.

Mane and Salah can turn Everton's defense into a sieve
Allardyce stood on the sidelines with a frown on his face, and the more he thought about it, the more headache he felt.

Compared to Allardyce.

Klopp is much more relaxed.

He sat in the coaching booth, drank some water, and then said to his assistant Kravitz: "The first round of this season has been won."

Klopp cannot be said to be arrogant.

But the current situation is indeed too favorable for Liverpool.

Everton not only lost two goals in this game, they were behind in all key statistics.

In fact, since the start of the game, Everton has only fired two anti-aircraft shots.

Their top striker Rooney has touched the ball no more than 15 times so far, Klopp suspects.

This shows how passive Everton’s situation is now.

The commentators also felt that the game had entered garbage time.

This Merseyside derby, which should have been very intense, has now become a bit boring.

Of course, this is only for neutral fans.

Liverpool fans didn't feel bored at all. They cheered excitedly in the stands.

Chinese fans were also very happy with Yang Guang's performance.

"Another double goal!"

"There shouldn't be any suspense about the Golden Globe Award, right?"

"Of course not!"

Everyone spoke out on the Internet.

Everton then brought on several attackers.

But their attack never gained momentum.

Because every time they are ready to make a move.

Liverpool always found opportunities and pushed them back with a wave of attacks.

This went on for several rounds.

Everton players' morale became even lower.

There is already a gap in strength between them and Liverpool.

Now, morale has hit rock bottom again, and it has become more difficult to achieve something on the court.

As the game progresses.

The intensity of the Merseyside derby began to show. Everton's players were unable to attack and their defense was in a mess.

This made their players a little angry and embarrassed.

The movements also became bigger.

The referee's whistle sounded frequently.

Everton players received consecutive yellow cards.

"Sure enough. This is the Merseyside Derby!"

After seeing Rooney slide and tackle Mane out of the sideline, he received a second yellow card and was sent off.

The commentator Kolo in the commentary booth complained.

Rooney must have been very depressed in this game.

He is a forward.

But he often has to return to midfield to participate in defense.

He didn't get many shots on goal, and even had few chances to touch the ball.

Most of the veteran's physical energy was consumed in running into open spaces.

Allardyce had intended to replace Rooney.

Now it is no longer necessary
Rooney himself was sent off with a red card.

Seeing the other party starting to get impatient.

Klopp also started making substitutions.

Salah and Mane were both substituted.

Among the two wingers, they are Liverpool's strikers and are also the ones who are kicked most often.

So replacing them is a protection for them.

Klopp had no intention of replacing Sunshine.

Judging from the performance of Everton players, they have not given up yet.

Keep the sunshine on the field.

It is strategic nuclear deterrence.

Everton want to attack?
There are no doors.

As long as the ball is passed to the front, Yangguang will take the ball and protect it.

It can pull Everton's overall formation back to their own half.
As long as the sun is on the field.

He is an eternal deterrent to his opponents.

Klopp did not replace Sunshine because he was considering the team's defense.

But as a striker.

As long as you stay on the field.

He will never stop pursuing goals.

Although Salah and Mane were substituted, they were replaced by two "defensive frontcourt players" Milner and Lallana.

But the sun is still tirelessly seeking goals.

He ran very actively and did not reduce the intensity of his pressing at all. Everton's pass reached the feet of goalkeeper Pickford, and Sunshine pounced on him like a bulldog, forcing Pickford to be unable to make a short pass and could only kick the ball out with a long kick.

The ball returned to the Liverpool players.

When everyone saw Yangguang being so active, they didn't think much about it. They just thought that he was driven by a sense of responsibility and wanted to use this method to help the team defend and tie down Everton's defense line.

The commentators praised Yangguang's sense of responsibility and his enthusiasm for pressing and running.

"This may be the reason for Yangguang's success. Whenever he is on the court, he devotes his full energy to every second!"

"Liverpool have definitely found a treasure. How could they not be successful with a player like this?"

"What's even more surprising is his physical fitness. It's really rare for such a big guy to have such good physical fitness!"

No one thought that Yang Guang should continue to pursue goals - you have already scored two, aren’t you satisfied?

The sun certainly won’t be satisfied.

Even though he has scored so many goals.

Still full of desire to score goals.

He's not here for defense.

He's here to score!

Always remember, there will be reverberations.

The 89th minute of the game.

He finally got a great opportunity.

Milner made a cross from the side, the ball was blocked by the defender and rolled into the penalty area. Yangguang turned around and hooked the ball back, then turned half way and shot directly!

The volley near the small penalty area was almost without suspense.

He kicked the football into the goal.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!"

Kolo jumped up.

By his side.

The commentator, Liverpool legend Carragher, was also cheering.

Even Neville, the Manchester United star standing next to him, couldn't help but applaud.

"The ball goes in! The ball goes in! Hat trick! Sunshine scored a hat trick!"

"Oh oh oh! This is the second Liverpool player after Gerrard to perform a hat-trick in the Merseyside derby! This is also the second player after Gerrard to perform a hat-trick in the Merseyside derby in the Premier League era!"

England commentator Kohler shouted excitedly.

The last time someone scored a hat-trick in a Merseyside derby was when Gerrard scored in the 2011-2012 season.

And before Gerrard.

That goes back to Ian Rush in 1983.

After Allardyce saw the ball lost.

He could only shake his head and sit back in the coaching seat.

he knows.

The game is completely over, and Everton has no chance of turning the tables away from home.
In the end, the game ended with this score.

The first Merseyside derby of the season ended with Sunshine scoring a hat-trick as Liverpool beat Everton 3-0 at home.

After the game.

Sunshine singled out the best player of the game.

The picture of him holding the game ball and taking a photo with the jubilant kop stands behind him has become an eternal classic.

"Liverpool's enemies will be horrified by this scene."

After the game, some media commented on this photo.

He is gradually becoming a nightmare for other Premier League teams.
After this game.

All the qualifying teams for the Champions League and Europa League have been confirmed.

UEFA held the draw ceremony for the knockout stages.

Liverpool's opponent is Porto, a powerful team from the Portuguese Super League.

The other teams that qualified from the Premier League had good luck in the draws. Manchester United and Sevilla were drawn together, and Manchester City was drawn with Basel. But Tottenham and Chelsea were very unlucky.

Tottenham drew Juventus.

Chelsea were drawn together with their old rivals Barcelona.

The media's excitement about the draw only lasted one day.

After all, the knockout rounds of the Champions League will not take place until mid-next year.

after this.

All eyes are on Switzerland.

The FIFA Golden Ball Awards ceremony will be held at the FIFA headquarters.

Sunshine traveled to Zurich, Switzerland with Liverpool club's sporting director Edwards and head coach Klopp.

He will receive his first major individual award at the FIFA headquarters: the FIFA Golden Ball Award!
