22. Who is the king of red
September 23, 2012. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
13 p.m. local time in England.
In the bright sun, the more than 100-year-old Anfield stadium is occupied by the same hue, with vivid red everywhere.
Whether it's the Liverpool fans at home or the Manchester United fans on the side, they all use red to show their presence.
Compared to Old Trafford, Anfield has a capacity of 45,000, which has been significantly reduced in order to create a buffer zone, but apart from the vacant seats, the atmosphere in the stands is anything but relaxed.
The fans of the two teams were separated by the security forces, and it was only then that the local police force in Liverpool finally picked up their spirits and kept the fanatical fans in their seats.
"None of you are bosses in Manchester! And we are the kings of Liverpool! ”
"I'm sorry, who hasn't won the league for 22 years in a row?"
"Lao Tzu's Champions League results are the first in the UK!"
"I'm sorry, who hasn't won the league for 22 years in a row?"
“…… I'll fuck you uncle! ”
Even after the layers of protection, the fans of the two teams still refused to stop, they kept spraying provocative and threatening swear words, waving their fists at each other, their eyes were full of excitement and anger flames, as long as the security forces were slightly relaxed, they were afraid that they would immediately scuffle together.
Two-thirds of the city's police presence is probably already here, and the remaining third are also heavily guarded around the stadium, and the neighbourhoods and bars where extreme fans gather are guarded early.
Although they have been sworn enemies for many years, due to the "experience" of the police, there are very few major safety incidents during the Double Red Cross.
Jonathan Wright stands out in the crowd, the 45-year-old is the head of the Salford Red Devils, Manchester United's largest local fan group, and compared to the "Red Devils", another slightly more extreme group that has always resisted the American owner, they are fully committed to supporting everything about the club, as long as it is a Manchester United game, whether it is the Champions League, the league, or the domestic cup, he and his brothers will always be in the stands, before the 2011 Champions League final. Manchester United's CEO, David Gill, also handes out giveaways to die-hard fans through his organisation.
"Jonathan! Be quiet for your people! A big man in red shouted at him through the crowd, "Otherwise, they have to be careful if they make it back to Manchester alive!" ”
That's the boss of Liverpool fans, and behind him are more than 30,000 fanatical fans.
But Wright didn't care: "You better take care of your people first!" If you have the ability, you can do it! ”
The fans behind him sang in unison:
"La-la-la-la! You can't play football, you can't sing, even if it's a fight...... You still can't! La-la-la-la! ”
"This is Anfield!"
Qin Goode looked up near the exit of the players' tunnel, with a Liverpool crest and the famous declaration pasted directly above it.
This is the devil's home of Liverpool, the former League One hegemon, and you have to keep your heads down!
Liverpool's tunnel is probably the narrowest in the Premier League, with players from both sides looking at each other with a fierce gaze without kindness, and the distance between them is no more than 30 centimeters, so that Qin Goode can clearly smell each other's body.
There are a lot of teammates on both sides who are teammates in the national team, but at this time, no one will smile at their friends.
Only Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard and Manchester United captain Ryan Ryan Giggs nodded to each other as polite.
But there was no politeness between them at all.
Suarez and Patrice Evra, in particular, erupted in an unexpected farce at their first double red meeting last season: the Uruguayan striker's racist remarks against Evra during the match greatly annoyed the FA, which has always been unrelenting about racial discrimination, and Suarez was banned for eight rounds; In the second round of the double red meeting, Suarez, who ended his ban, refused Evra's handshake, so he was even more criticized by public opinion, which made his evaluation even fall to the bottom among Liverpool fans - some even ironically called him "Balotelli's good friend", because no one knows when he will have a brain crunch when he has a bad temper.
However, today both of them seem to have converged a lot, and the opening of this double red meeting is also different from the past.
"The British government released the investigation report of the Heathbourg tragedy last week, officially released the investigation report on the disaster 23 years ago, and they officially admitted that it was the police negligence, not the fan riots, that caused the tragedy, and Liverpool fans finally got their grievances...... "As a diehard Red Army loyalist, Zhan Tianjun certainly knows the significance of this incident," the players on both sides wore T-shirts with the number 96 printed on the back, and Evra shook hands with Suarez to officially resolve the racial feud between last season. ”
Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton presented flowers to Ian Rush, a Reds legend and Liverpool legend, on behalf of the club, while Ryan Giggs and Steven Gerrard jointly released 96 red balloons to comfort the victims. In the song "You Will Never Walk Alone", the three stands of Liverpool fans spelled out the huge "96", "justice" and "truth".
The opening was a bit heavy and a little warm, with many Liverpool fans in tears, and Manchester United had tears in their eyes.
But when everyone took off their shirts with the number 96 on them, the tears were wiped away, the heaviness was gone, the warmth was gone, and Wright and his fighters waved the red flag and continued to fight with the United soldiers on the other side.
Joan Jojo Sherwey, the 'Gerard successor, the talented midfielder of '92, and the 'Voldemort of the Reds' (named for his bald image resembling Voldemort in Harry Potter) set the tone for the game by knocking out Manchester United's veteran Paul Scholes, who was twice his age, just 10 seconds into the game.
Ferguson chewed gum while observing the players on the field with cold eyes.
He spent close to 90 million euros to buy the Chinese kid, by no means to put him as a right-winger, he was destined to be the core and thigh, but ...... This position is not automatically obtained by virtue of his value and the manager's resignation, he must fight for it with strength and performance, let his teammates spontaneously surround him, and willingly become your green leaf.
Let's see what you do, right?
Before Qin Goode could exert his strength, Scholes had already launched Manchester United's first counter-attack.
Just being mercilessly put down by a little guy who is less than 20 years old makes ginger extremely unhappy and his face is very dull. This time he swept the ball past Shelvey and even defiantly hooked his hand at the wrong opponent, and then suddenly got his foot from 267 meters from the goal.
Fortunately, Liverpool goalkeeper Reyna was not distracted, and his sideways save barely kept the shot out.
However, the alarm in front of the gate has not been lifted, Hernandez is like a bloodhound smelling fresh meat, lightning between the two defenders to the edge of the small penalty area, he meets the ball hard!
Rodgers couldn't sit down like he had a thorn in his butt, and his heart almost stopped beating when he saw the football fly towards the half-empty goal again.
And Ferguson was so nervous that he forgot to chew the gum, he just subconsciously clenched his fists and prepared to rush out of the coaching box.
Daniel Ager saves Liverpool's goal!
The 28-year-old Danish defender flew to his feet and hooked the ball more than halfway over the goal line with a barb that almost stretched his body to the limit!
Rodgers let out a sigh of relief, and Ferguson reluctantly let go of his fist.
The Reds fans in the stadium gave a thunderous applause for the wonderful performance of the Iron Guard, but as soon as this applause sounded, it was cut off by someone!
Rogers' breath of relief was not over, and he was stuck in his neck alive.
Ager's barb clearance was powerful and sent the ball straight out of the box.
Carrick, who just grabbed the first landing point, pushed the arch of his left foot to the right front, and Qin Goode appeared in the live broadcast camera.
He picked up his right leg at the top of the arc on the right side of the penalty area!

Note: Before and after the Heath Castle Massacre (no charge for this paragraph):
On April 15, 1988+1, in the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at the Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield, England, due to the structural problems and organizational disorder of the stadium, 5,000 Liverpool fans were still unable to enter after the start of the game, and the police officers opened the gate but did not give the necessary guidance, causing 5,000 people to rush to the same stand, and the crowding caused serious stampede casualties, 96 people were killed and more than 200 were injured. Due to the lies of the police officers present, the malicious reports of the media and the unfair handling of the government, the tragedy was characterized as a "fan quality problem", and no one took due responsibility for the Hillsborough tragedy.
In the follow-up to the incident, The Sun added fuel to the fire, using a series of brain-made storylines to discredit Liverpool fans: for example, their editor-in-chief called for "finding the truth" while distributing three articles - "Fans turn over the victims' wallets", "Fans urinate on brave police officers", and "Fans beat police officers doing artificial respiration". The article in the pages related to these headlines states: "While rescuers were helping the wounded, drunken Liverpool fans attacked them"; "Police officers, firefighters and ambulances were punched, kicked and urinated," which is a smear that is extremely effective.
A month later, The Sun finally admitted that all the reports were untrue, and it was not until July 7, 2004, that The Sun published a full-page "unreserved" apology in an opinion section, saying that the paper had "made the most terrible mistake in its history". But today, more than 20 years later, the pernicious effects of fake news still linger, and innocent Liverpool fans still suffer from misunderstandings. And in Merseyside, the boycott of The Sun continued into 2016 – with the Reds' new boss Jurgen Klopp publicly refusing to give any interviews to The Sun, which instantly won him the support of countless fans.
On October 17, 2011, the British government announced that it would release all top-secret documents on the matter and continue its investigation.
On September 12, 2012, the results of the investigation were officially released, the truth of the tragedy was revealed, and the fans were wronged.
On April 26, 2016, a jury of the British High Court ruled that the stampede was caused by the negligence of the South Yorkshire police and the poor organization, management and control of the scene, which eventually led to the crowd getting out of control and stampede each other, causing a tragedy, and the 96 fans killed that year were "unlawfully killed".
