"It should be, Everton people are a bunch of beasts!"

Just kidding, if Zhang Mai, who has a bad reputation, makes a move, none of the Everton players present will escape.
"Lu Yuanwai, tell all your teammates, if there is another time, I will make him worse than Ozil!"
After Zhang Mai said this, he turned and left, ignoring the referee Mike Dean who had just arrived.
The on-duty referee Mike Dean dispersed the controversial players gathered together, showed Barkley a yellow card, and then gave Coleman a yellow card warning amid the dissatisfaction of the Liverpool crowd.
Although the referee did not have a red card to drive Barkley away, Zhang Mai knew that no Everton player would dare to use malicious and hurtful actions again.
Captain Henderson returned to the court soon after being treated by the team doctor, and the game continued.

Liverpool led Everton 1-0 in the away game. For the first time, the shouts of the Red Army fans who were at a disadvantage in the audience exceeded the Everton fans of the home team.
Zhang Mai did not run to the sidelines to celebrate the demonstration because Captain Henderson was already hugging Zhang Mai tightly and shouting.
The game continued, when referee Mike Dean gave Everton 8 minutes of stoppage time, which caused great dissatisfaction among Liverpool players.
"Don't worry, the longer the stoppage time, the more goals Everton will concede!"
Zhang Mai encouraged his teammates loudly in front of Mike Dean, which made the Everton players on the side have a toothache.
In stoppage time, Liverpool continued to press down on Everton, and finally expanded the results again.
In the 94th minute, Sturridge, who came off the bench, crossed from the right to the top of the penalty area and shot low. The ball hit the left post and rebounded.Liverpool 2-0 Everton!Mane's goal completely sealed the victory.

Zhang Mai also led the Premier League's top scorer and assists with 22 goals and 14 assists, and Megatron in the British Isles.
This vigorous Merseyside derby aroused huge repercussions after the game. The ups and downs and the final outcome are all people talk about.
Because of the injury treatment of Everton goalkeeper Stekelenburg in the second half and the incident of Barkley kicking Henderson, the stoppage time lasted up to 8 minutes, and with factors such as goals and substitutions, the referee Mike Dean gave It took the two sides nearly 10 minutes to end the game!
In fact, if Zhang Mai encouraged his teammates at the end of regular time, the Liverpool players did the same!
Sturridge, who returned with full power, dribbled the ball all the way laterally in the 94th minute and shot. After hitting the post, Mane shot at an instant speed to complete the lore.
Assuming that Sturridge, who has such a strong desire to shoot and win, is even called "greedy", this second goal would be impossible to talk about. After the game, Klopp also praised Sturridge for his dedication to the goal. Eager to contribute to the team.
Everton is a big-hearted team that is good at playing against the wind in the league this season. They only lost 9 of the 4 games when they conceded the ball first, and there is really too little time left for them today. His 11-game home unbeaten streak is gone.
Klopp said after the game: "I am very happy that no one was injured today. Tomorrow is our first Christmas party after winning."
Henderson said in an interview with Sky Sports after the game: "I know Rose very well. He is a good guy and we are also very good friends. I think he just didn't grasp the timing of the tackle. I apologize, thankfully I'm fine. It's probably too late, but in a derby you have to suffer."
Although the two parties have settled, public opinion cannot agree with Barkley's behavior and the referee's penalty.
Carragher and Neville expressed their views on this, and both of them believed that Barkley should be sent off directly with a red card.
Carragher believes: "Barkley should be sent off. Henderson's post-match interview is really generous, which also reflects the good qualities that a professional player should have. But it should be a red card, which is a kick. Shocking flying shovel."
Gary Neville agreed, adding: "It was a fantastic interview. But Barkley's provocation was so poor it nearly broke Henderson's leg. To be fair, Henderson said Barkley had given He apologized and of course it was the right thing to do. They shouldn't have let it go just because they were national team mates, it was a nasty gesture."
Neville is satisfied with the performance of referee Mike Dean: "People had a lot of doubts about the origin of the referee before the game. This is also his first time refereeing the Merseyside Derby. He completed the task excellently." Of course, Neville Weir still couldn't agree with Dean's penalty for Barkley: "Then a red card should be given, and the referee should know what a dangerous action is."
Carragher himself is a famous Red Army star, but he is also an out-and-out Everton fan; and Gary Neville is the lifelong enemy of the Red Army Liverpool, whether it is in the Red Devils Manchester United or Everton at the end of his career.
However, both of them gave unanimous praise to Zhang Mai's timely intervention to stop the dispute on the field and the subsequent Qianjun goal.
As Zhang Mai’s friend, Everton striker Lukaku said in an interview after the game:
"Are we afraid of Zhang Mai? No! We're just following the professional rules that don't hurt others at will."
"Why did you lose? I also want to ask you, when did Liverpool lose with Zhang Mai on the field?"
