Then on August 16, 2003, the Premier League drama kicked off, the first round of opening matches was Birmingham vs. Tottenham, and Portsmouth vs. Villa, Arsenal vs. Everton, Blake vs. Wolves, Manchester United vs. Bolton, Fulham vs. Middleborg, Leicester City vs. Southampton

The next day, August 17, Charlton vs Manchester City, Leeds vs Newcastle, and the most eye-catching Liverpool vs Chelsea The old aristocracy and nouveau riche battle, and the arrangement of the referee of the game, Christina did not play the role of referee in the first round, but played the fourth referee, and it was the heavyweight 17th night, Liverpool played Chelsea at home!

Chelsea travel to Liverpool on 17 August.

Countless media outlets are eagerly following the match.

Because in the first round of the Premier League held yesterday, Arsenal's table is still very strong. Although Campbell was sent off on 25 minutes, Arsenal still won 2-1 against Everton thanks to goals from Thierry Henry and Pire.

It's the same with Manchester United.

They won comfortably 4-0 at home to old foes Bolton Wanderers thanks to a brace from Ryan Giggs, a goal from Paul Scholes and a splash from Ruud van Nistelrooy.

In the first round of the Premier League, Manchester United and Arsenal were as strong as ever.

And Chelsea, one of the strong contenders for the title of the new season, how does he perform? Can Chelsea break the Premier League's double-headed play?

All eyes are on Chelsea.

They very much want to know what the strength of Chelsea, which spends a lot of money after Abu takes over.

Liverpool.

Liverpool is the litmus test.

Before the game, Liverpool's newspaper The Echo wrote "Money can't bring championships!" ”

Chelsea's desire to dominate football with Abou's money is complete wishful thinking. I don't know the rules of football at all. Football has its own rules, not that whoever has more money can do it.

And they said Liverpool would sue Chelsea during the game, not just money.

17 August, Anfield.

Not many Chelsea fans came. There were only about 3,000 of them. The others are Liverpool fans.

The game hasn't started yet.

But Liverpool fans have already started a verbal battle with Chelsea fans. Tens of thousands of people waved rubles and shouted sarcastically at Chelsea: "You are the playthings of the Russians, money can't buy a championship!" ”

With only 3,000 fans, Chelsea fans are not to be outdone.

"Would you like to help you fix the Anfield stadium, you poor devils."

Liverpool are the kings of English football.

However, it does not match their status, although Anfield has a long history and is very famous in European football. But it could only accommodate 45,000 people.

Not to mention that it is not as good as Manchester United's Old Trafford, and as long as Arsenal's new stadium is completed, it will not be as good as their new stadium.

Whether it's capacity or luxury, Anfield doesn't deserve their fame.

Liverpool fans naturally fought back.

"Let's fix your Stamford Bridge pitch first, upstart!"

Upstart is what the media has said about Chelsea in recent times.

Liverpool fans waved rubles. Not a real ruble, of course. They did it themselves to satirize Chelsea.

The 40,000-strong Liverpool fans chanted "Upstart, Chersky".

Liverpool's biggest hate, apart from Manchester United, is the upstart of Chelsea.

What team is Liverpool?

Liverpool are the true kings of England. Their fans have the same mentality and feel that they are the best.

They are proud.

They are reluctant to admit that Liverpool has been in decline for more than a decade.

Hence seeing Chelsea spend heavily in the transfer market. Liverpool fans are very dissatisfied. There must be jealousy in my heart.

There is no history.

An upstart would dare to be so high-profile.

That's why they hold a special grudge against Chelsea.

In the face of the "nouveau riche" voices in the stadium, Chelsea fans also shouted: "We're rich!! ”

Of course, the nouveau riche voices quickly died down.

Liverpool fans shouted "Chersky!" ”

Changed the name of Chelsea.

It's also a satire that Chelsea is a Russian plaything.

…………

And the law enforcement referee arranged the veteran Gallagher this time, the two assistant referees are old referees who have worked with him for many years, Christina and them came to Anfield Stadium in advance in the car at the same time, in the referee's lounge Gallagher confidently began to assign tasks to everyone, after communicating with the assistant referee, Gallagher began to tell Christina, "Christina, you just have to rest assured, with your deterrent Hollier should not be too presumptuous, and for Ranieri you have to be careful, Of course, if you feel that you can't stand it, or they are too arrogant, remember to notify me! "Okay, thank you!" Christina is very grateful, although she prefers Bol, but it is undeniable that as one of the top two referees in the Premier League, Gallagher also has his own advantages, that is, self-confidence, of course, it can also be said to be conceited, but he also has his own personality charm, that is, he will make things clear with the referee team, and he is responsible.

And just as Christina sighed, Gallagher, looking at her watch, began, and said, "Let's go."

Sideline commentators Sitting, Martin Taylor and Andy Gray are ready.

Start understanding.

Of course, the focus is definitely on Chelsea. Who makes Chelsea the most watched team at the moment.

"More than 90 million pounds. Who would have thought. ”

Andy. Gray is also admiring Chelsea's efforts in the transfer market.

"Hahaha!"

The two laughed as they commented before the game.

But soon they were in the game.

"Let's take a look at the line-ups of both sides. Liverpool's goalkeeper is Dudek. The backline is Finnen, Hyypia, Carragher, Reese, and the midfielders are Biscayne, Hamann, Smitchell, Gerrard. Up front are Husky and Irving. ”

Chelsea, on the other hand, are goalkeepers: Cudicini is Glenn at the back. Johnson, John Terry, Desailly, Bridge, Joe Cole, Claude Makelele, Lampard, Duff in midfield, Crespo and Gudjanssen in strikers

"Now the two sides have entered under the leadership of the referee, this time it is the Gallagher referee who enforces the law, it seems that the referee committee attaches great importance to it, and the fourth referee is the famous Christina referee! She made Liverpool a mess last year! ”

"Yes, I've always been skeptical about women in football, but the referee Christina really broke my impression, she's really good!" Andy Gray said,

And Cristina began to perform the duties of the fourth referee after the entrance ceremony, and she also looked at Ranieri with interest, looking kind, and this coach is very respected by the players, for Cristina such a good old man may not be easy to deal with
