Anfield Stadium was naturally full in the derby, the fans held scarves and sang their team anthem high-pitched and loud, Tang Hong and his teammates walked into the stadium together, although they were slightly shocked by this scene, but perhaps because of personality, simply compared to the widely circulated team songs of Manchester United and Liverpool, he preferred Manchester United's second team song "Glory, Glory, Man, United".
Compared to the low and tactful "You Never Walk Alone" in the middle of the song, Manchester United's second team song sounds particularly cheerful and positive.
Soccer, training is boring and even makes people feel dead and alive, but when it comes to the field, it still has to be fun and positive, otherwise why play?
Even if it is true that some games have risen to the level of war-like cruelty, in general, if he can't find fun in football, Tang Hong will definitely not persevere.
It's not because of responsibility and pressure, it's because of fun and pursuit.
The starters of both teams lined up on the field for the pre-match kick-off ceremony, and the singing in the stadium stopped, turning into a frenzied cheer from the fans of both teams.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the 2012-2013 English Premier League Round 5 at Anfield!
Reds Liverpool host the Red Devils Manchester United!
The difference between the two teams' form since the start of the new season is very large, Liverpool has not won in four rounds of the Premier League, the first two home games were drawn with Manchester City and lost to Arsenal, and now it has ushered in Manchester United, which has won four consecutive games in the league!
In the past summer, Liverpool's important signings were only Joe Allen and Borini, spending a total of 25 million pounds, as well as the loan of midfielder Shahin from Real Madrid, while Manchester United's side is to reorganize the attacking line, the addition of Van Persie and Tang Hong has begun to bear fruit, and the arrival of Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa has also enhanced the midfield organizational creativity.
Manchester United's attacking firepower is currently the strongest in the Premier League, and Liverpool, who have conceded eight goals in their last four Premier League games, may be sweating for their defence at home today.
Now take a look at the starting line-ups of both teams.
Liverpool started 433.
Goalkeeper: Reina.
Defenders: Glenn Johnson, Ag, Skrtel, Kelly.
Midfielders: Shelvey, Joe Allen, Gerrard.
Forwards: Bolini, Suarez, Raheem Sterling.
Manchester United started today with 4231.
Goalkeeper: David De Gea.
Defenders: Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra.
Midfielders: Valencia, Carrick, Shinji Kagawa, Ryan Giggs, Tang Hong.
Forward: Robin van Persie.
Manchester United's star Wayne Rooney has once again missed the squad for the game, and the outside world suspects that he has broken with Ferguson!
Another point worth mentioning is that Liverpool's winger Raheem Sterling and Manchester United's winger Tang Hong are not the first time they have played each other today, the two have met in the World Junior Championship in Mexico more than a year ago, when Tang Hong led the Chinese national junior team to compete with England U17 team in the semi-finals of the World Junior Championship for a ticket to the final, and in that game Tang Hong shined and led the team to the final of the World Junior Championship, and defeated the host Mexico in the final to lead the team to win the trophy!
It can be said that the World Junior Championship began to get the opportunity to come to European football, and thus became the hottest striker in Europe in a short period of time.
Although Sterling's growth at Liverpool is not bad, just looking at the data, there is still a clear gap between him and Tang Hong, who overshadowed him at the World Junior Championships more than a year ago.
The new edition of the annual European Golden Boy Award is approaching the selection time, and many media believe that there will be no suspense in this year's selection, and Tang Hong must be a superstar who will be beyond the reach of all U21 players this year!
Okay, let's get down to business, let's see if Liverpool will be bounced together by a derby today, or if Manchester United will continue to lead the Premier League table! ”
When the players shook hands before the game, Tang Hong and Sterling looked at each other deeply, and when they met again after more than a year, Tang Hong actually forgot about the Mexico World Junior Championships, and I believe that Sterling will not take it to heart, after all, happiness is the most important, why bother to trouble yourself?
It's just that when the two meet, they have a special feeling, naturally not the impulse to meet Brokeback Mountain, but with the feeling that they once debuted together, and now they can meet in the top arena, not because the world is too small, but because geniuses will always meet, who makes this top stage in football actually so big?
When he shook hands with Gerrard, Tang Hong's heart was full of respect, he was already a veteran in his thirties, and the soul of the Red Army was still tirelessly pursuing the first Premier League championship in the history of the Red Army, and this persistence deserved to be respected.
Look at Steven Gerrard, and then look at his teammates Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Rio Ferdinand, English football has also reached a period of youthful curtain call.
The starters of both teams set up their formations at half-time, and the game officially began with the referee's whistle.
Under Dalglish and Hodgson, Liverpool played a weak team is to play high, playing a medium or strong team is a defensive counterattack, and the result is a chicken feather, breaking through the lower limit of the ranking in the past ten years, once to the lowest ranking in the history of the Premier League, Uncle Brandon Rodgers, who has hundreds of properties in the United Kingdom, came to Liverpool and began to fight against the chaos, making Liverpool switch to ground attack, which made Liverpool become the team with the highest possession rate in the Premier League with only four games in the new season, even higher than Arsenal.
The average possession rate per game reached 65%, but the problem is obvious, the momentum is not scored, Liverpool Premier League opener was educated by West Brom with a counterattack, his own counterattack for two years has no effect, and the opponent counterattack but lost his armor, which inevitably hurts morale.
Even against strong teams, they are also firm in the ground to pass and advance the style of play, Liverpool does not cooperate well enough to be intercepted by the opponent and then the embarrassment of attacking quickly on the spot, and the defensive line has a basket of lost goals from here.
After the start of the game, Liverpool is naturally still actively attacking on the ground, Manchester United has not been relying on defense to fight the world, and the current defense is not in the top four in the Premier League, whether it is Chelsea or Manchester City, or Everton and Tottenham, in fact, the defensive configuration in the midfield and back is stronger than Manchester United, and it does not mean that Manchester United is better than Everton in attack and defense, it can only be said that Manchester United's attack can destroy the opponent's defense.
United's defensive weakness allowed Liverpool to play a bit of the ground crossing that Rodgers was keen to see.
Gerrard and Joe Allen and the range-forward Suarez played the ball to Raheem Sterling on the left after successive passes down the middle, who quickly flicked the ball to cross-cutting and then passed the ball to Gerrard when Carrick came up to intercept, but neither Shinji Kagawa nor Ryan Giggs could interfere with Gerrard, which gave Gerrard a direct chance to shoot.
A long-range shot from outside the box flew into the bottom right corner of the net, and De Gea pounced on it and held the ball in his arms, showing good competitive form.
The Reds fans at the scene felt sorry for a while, and then cheered the team's morale with applause.
Manchester United is racing against time to launch a fast attack, when Evra passes straight to the front to find Tang Hong in the front, Tang Hong saw that Shelvey, who is a little similar to Voldemort, came towards him, he faked to start forward but pulled the ball back to make Xerve's defense empty, Tang Hong went to the inside line to advance the offensive, Xherway turned around and chased after him has fallen into passivity, it is difficult to form an effective defense against Tang Hong.
When the ball reached the left in front of the penalty area, Tang Hong saw full-back Glen Johnson coming towards him, Aag and Skrtel blocked Van Persie very tightly, and Tang Hong sent the ball diagonally to the right side.
Valencia followed up on the right side to receive Tang Hong's pass and stopped and went directly to Kelly, sending a cross in front of the baseline.
Van Persie followed up in the middle of the goal to grab the point, and Reina stepped out to punch the ball first.
It's just that he didn't expect the ball to fly out in the direction of the left in front of the penalty line, Tang Hong stopped the ball on his chest here and then changed the direction of the ball with his feet to get rid of Shelvey and Glenn Johnson who were sandwiching him back and forth, and then shot with his feet!
The football flew straight to the top right corner of the goal, and was flicked by Skrtel's head in the penalty area halfway through the box and flew into the stands.
Tang Hong looked up to the sky and sighed, if Skrtel hadn't touched it, the ball would have flown into Liverpool's goal!
The English derby maintained the fast-paced style of the Premier League, while Liverpool insisted on playing well on the ground and crossing, but the ability to create chances at the end was slightly lacking.
In the 6th minute of the game, Suarez pulled the side in front of the field to cooperate with Borini hitting the wall, but Borini was stealed by Evra in front of the baseline.
It seems that Borini did not adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, Manchester United quickly launched a fast attack, when Shinji Kagawa passed the ball to Ryan Giggs in the backfield, Wang Laoji took the initiative to pull the side to the left and Tang Hong had a cross position, Xhervy originally blocked Tang Hong's internal cutting line, but Tang Hong ran to get rid of it.
Ryan Giggs's tactical arrangement in the starting line today was not to expect him to pose much of a threat in the middle of the midfield, but to let him do his old job and make waves on the left side, and Ferguson set up a maze formation to try to free Tang Hong and give him more space and support.
Ryan Giggs pushed wide into the attacking danger zone and met Glen Johnson before quickly knocking the ball sideways, and Tang Hong hit the ball back with a direct backheel when he was close to the middle of the field, so that Shelvey didn't even have a chance to get close.
Shelvy looked back and saw Shinji Kagawa assist and meet the ball and send a diagonal pass close to the ground.
Tang Hong ran to the right in front of the penalty area and sent a through ball, Valencia cut into the penalty area around the outside and swept the ball directly in front of the goal.
Van Persie flanked the middle and followed up to grab the spot, but it was too close to goalkeeper Reina, causing the football to hit Reina and reflect the bottom line!
Van Persie looked regretful and turned his head to give Valencia a thumbs up.
Giggs ran to open a corner, Tang Hong stood outside the penalty area, Giggs understood that he would directly hoist the ball to the left in front of the penalty area, Tang Hong had already posed to volley, and at the last moment, Gerrard rushed out of the penalty area regardless of the risk of being kicked by Tang Hong to stretch his legs and kick the ball first.
Tang Hong naturally closed his feet, but he still ran into Gerrard, and the referee blew the whistle to signal Tang Hong to foul, and Tang Hong immediately frowned.
The referee's whistle is a bit tight today!
