The eyes of the media and fans are always focused on the freshest incidents. When Gibson and Everton Club both issued statements proving that Xia Ze did not party in the nightclub or inhale laughing gas, the media gradually became more concerned about the Xia Ze nightclub incident. Cool down.

Even some domestic media with ulterior motives cannot continue to keep pace.

Coupled with the UEFA Champions League and Europa League matches in the middle of the week, the enthusiasm was overshadowed by these intercontinental games.

And in Liverpool, all the attention will be on the city's derby the following weekend.

In the city of Liverpool, Everton and Liverpool are sworn enemies, and fire and water cannot tolerate that.

Fans on both sides laugh at each other on weekdays. In the two FA Cup semi-finals last weekend, Everton defeated Tottenham to advance to the final, while Liverpool lost to Arsenal and missed the FA Cup championship. .

After this semi-final, Everton fans will laugh at their colleagues and classmates who are Liverpool fans, while Liverpool fans are going all out to pay back after the derby in the same city.

As for some families, there are Liverpool fans and Everton fans in the family, and they will start to decorate early, divide the house into red and blue colors, and cheer for the teams they support on the match day.

The TV broadcasting organization also came to Liverpool early to carry out the broadcast arrangement at Goodison Park Stadium. This game is the highlight of this round of the Premier League, and it is also a game about qualifying for the Europa League and even the Champions League.

The Merseyside Derby has always been the most popular derby in the Premier League. In every derby, red cards, penalties and other elements must be lost. The smell of gunpowder is stronger than that of the North London Derby.

The gambling company had already offered odds for this game. Everton, who played at home and entered the FA Cup final, was slightly ahead, but the odds with Liverpool were very similar.

In addition to the odds of winning or losing the game, there are also such things as how many goals are scored in this game, how many red and yellow cards are there, who will get the red card, and how many penalties and so on.

There are various catalogs, as long as you want to get them, they are basically opened.

After putting aside the troubles outside the field, I completely devoted myself to the preparations for this game, and I was also very serious in training.

The head coach Martinez was very surprised. He didn't expect Xia Ze to train so hard, and so did other teammates.

I was very surprised by Xia Ze's hard training.

Martinez promised Xia Ze before that as long as Xia Ze performed well enough, he would continue to be placed in the starting lineup.

So when the roster for the competition was announced, Xia Ze was naturally among them.

After coming to England for more than three months, I finally had the opportunity to experience the feeling of the Premier League derby.

North London Derby, Manchester Derby, North East Derby, Double Red Club, Merseyside Derby...

I finally had the opportunity to experience these famous derby battles in English football.

Even though Xia Ze is now the best player of the month in the Premier League, has beaten Manchester United and Arsenal, and eliminated strong teams like Tottenham, he is still very excited when he thinks of the upcoming derby.

For the game on Saturday, Xia Ze stayed with the team in the hotel on Friday night.

This is the case in the Premier League. The day before the game, even the home team will stay in a hotel near the stadium so that the players can calm down and focus all their attention on the game.

As for Liverpool, the same is true. Because it is a derby in the same city, they don't need to leave in advance, and they also live in the stadium where they played at home in the past, and then take the bus to set off for the next day's game.

Every player who enters the squad can be allocated tickets. Wang Xiaolin has become a frequent visitor to Everton's home court this season, and this game is no exception.

It's just that some of her classmates will follow the Liverpool team and appear in the stands of the visiting team to play against Everton fans.

"Darren, what does the derby mean?" Xia Ze shared a room with Gibson on Friday night.

Although something like that happened last weekend, there was no diaphragm between Xia Ze and Gibson, and the coaching staff didn't think it was necessary to separate the two.

"Didn't you experience it when you were in China?" Gibson was slightly surprised, because in the UK, as long as there is a slight relationship between the teams, it is easy to get involved in the derby.

"Uh... it's not that there is no such thing, it's just that the Chinese derby is different from the British one."

Xia Ze is a player of the Guangzhou R\u0026F Youth Team. The Evergrande Youth Team that Ai Huang was leading before should also be regarded as the Guangzhou Youth Team Derby. The match between Guangzhou R\u0026F and the first team of Guangzhou Evergrande is also known as the Derby.

Especially when Guangzhou R\u0026F had an excellent record in 2014, the Guangzhou Derby had the taste of China's No. 1 Derby.

Whether it is Tianhe Stadium or Yuexiushan Stadium, Xia Ze has been to the scene to watch the Guangzhou Derby. However, because Guangzhou Evergrande and Guangzhou R\u0026F have a huge difference in fan base, and the results of the two teams are also clearly differentiated, the derby is more than exciting, but there is not enough confrontation off the field.

The derby in England is different. For example, the Manchester derby with Manchester United before the rise of Manchester City is also very interesting. Another example is Everton, who has been overwhelmed by Liverpool, and the match between their rivals in the same city is full of gunpowder.

Such a derby is naturally difficult for the Chinese team to feel.

"Derby, it's actually hard to explain what it means." Gibson frowned and said, "But I have experienced the derby between Manchester United and Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool, and Everton and Liverpool. From the moment we enter the field, we must not lose!"

"Absolutely can't lose?" Xia Ze frowned, still not understanding this sentence. As a professional player, any game should have this mentality.

"No, it's different from what you think." Gibson shook his head and continued: "Professional players should aim to win every game. But the feeling of the derby is different. It feels like... like……"

Gibson frowned, it seemed difficult to find an adjective.

"Like going to the battlefield?" Xia Ze tried to add.

"Yes, that's right, it's like going to the battlefield!" Gibson immediately said with affirmation: "When he was on the field, the derby is no longer an ordinary game. He seems to have been integrated into our blood. We have to treat it like a war. it."

Xia Ze was still frowning, it was hard to understand what kind of feeling it was from Gibson's words.

Gibson also realized that he could not clearly express the meaning of the derby, so he patted Xia Ze on the shoulder: "You will know when you play tomorrow." c
