Before the beginning, the sounds of tribalism arose from Everton’s strengths in the Blue House and the Winslow Hotel, which is directly in front of the main position in Goodison Road, with its Howard Kendall bar.
These are the places that Everton supporters will lose. Not as much as Goodison Park, but the traditional rituals that take place after making their way through the houses on terraces that list the stadium at Winslow Street, Eton Street, Neston Street and Andrew Street.
They realized what tonight with emotionally charged had reserved as Everton, rejuvenated under Moyes, he found his head with Liverpool, fighting until the end to guarantee the final account of 120 derbis in Goodison Park ended with 41 victories a piece.
The blue smoke and the smell of cordite filled the air when the coach of the Everton team arrived, the area around the entrance of the players full of followers.
It was anthill when the newest tradition of the Everton of an air reduction siren sounded before the Z-Cars, the soundtrack of the beginning of each Good Dark Park game, sounded.
The end of Gwladys Street, the beat of the support of the Everton, was covered with flags before the start, including the reading of banners “we build this city – 1878”, “Our motto is our Nile NISI NISI Optimal” standard Goodison with a Beatles Twist declaring “there are places that I will remember 1892-2025”.
It was moving, since Everton now only has six games left in the place they have called home for a long time.
Beto Renacted gave Everton the advantage after 11 minutes, but a Liverpool sometimes unstable and out of color seemed to have secured the three points through Alex Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah, before Tarkowski’s draw drama in recent seconds.
And the ugly fight that followed.
I suppose that Elton John’s strains are why they call it blues sounded around an exultant Good Cry Park after the final whistle.
And there, back in a family land in the technical area of Goodison Park, there was Moyes, moving familiarly while his Everton struggled, showing that his desire still burns while celebrating happily and took his team.
Moyes is also remembered outside Goodison Park, the cyclic nature of football illustrated by its image in the Everton timeline that makes its way around the stadium, commemorating moments of importance in the history of the club.
In front of Blue Dragon Fish Bar and the Goodison Cafe, all part of the views, the sounds and smells of Goodison Park, is the great photograph of a 38 -year -old and 38 -year -old head that holds an Everton scarf later of his appointment. Manager in March 2002.
The hair is now white as Moyes, 23 years later and soaked in a life of managerial experience, it is in charge of Everton for its 26th meseyside derby. He didn’t want to leave Goodison Park with a losing note against Liverpool, Everton deserved his part of the points.
“I think it was very important for Evertonians to end in their stadium the best they can,” he said. “I feel that the support here was amazing, it was incredible support and I think it was appropriate that they have an end as they did.”
Tonight belonged mainly to Everton, who fought with the character and steel to obtain a draw, with frustrated Liverpool even though they still lead the Premier League for seven points.
Above all, tonight belonged to Goodison Park.
