On the evening of the second day after the Champions League match day, Tang Hong took Chen Manhong and Sun Rou to Kagawa Shinji's house as a guest.

Shinji Kagawa and Margaret live in an apartment on the same block, not luxurious but sophisticated.

Margaret was very happy to see the two girls, she had no other friends in Manchester, and she would occasionally ask Chen Manhong and Sun Rou to go around when Shinji Kagawa went to train, and the friendship progressed very quickly.

Tang Hong enjoyed an exquisite Japanese dinner at Shinji Kagawa's house, and then the two chatted casually about the club on the balcony.

Shinji Kagawa has a much lower status than Tang Hong in the Theater of Dreams, Tang Hong is already the unshakable main force of the team, while Shinji Kagawa has not yet sat firmly in the main force in the strict sense, and life in Manchester has made him a little depressed.

In his career, he has to fight to be the main player, but England's style of football sometimes makes it difficult for him to adapt on the pitch, despite his two assists in the Champions League yesterday, but the rating is not particularly high, because he almost only shows a bit of the aura and talent of the best midfielder in the Bundesliga when he interacts with Tang Hong and Paul Scholes.

In terms of life, he is not particularly comfortable in Manchester, especially his girlfriend Margaret who left his career for him to follow him, sometimes lonely and lonely, forced to smile, which makes him feel apologetic.

Tang Hong can't help Kagawa Shinji make changes, like Margaret's situation is also something he tries to avoid, he never wants to tie anyone to his side, it is easy to cause mutual pressure, how he likes to come, never forced.

If you agree, you will stay, and if you don't agree, you will be divided, and you don't want others to sacrifice, and you don't want to be wronged.

He couldn't help but think, if Sun Rou wasn't a girl who could stay in the room by herself for a few days and nights, and there were various film and television dramas and animations to kill time and enjoy herself, I'm afraid she would have returned to China a long time ago, right?

Even if you don't want to go to school, staying by He Zhuqing's side is much more interesting than following Tang Hong, He Zhuqing spends half of the year running around in China or going abroad, not to mention anything else, at least the freshness of following He Zhuqing will not disappear.

Now with Chen Manhong as her companion, Sun Rou can also play around Europe from time to time, plus Chen Manhong also has a personal itinerary, and occasionally travels to attend some virtual currency forums to bring Sun Rou with him, and naturally there is also an element of fake public and private happiness.

Tang Hong likes to hear about them, he only hopes to see the people around him happy.

He could only briefly express his thoughts to Shinji Kagawa.

"Life is actually the same as the football field, when you lose, the team has problems with everything, there are problems with the way you play, there are problems with personnel, there are problems with relationships, but when you win there are no problems, because you can hug each other and enjoy the win, life is the same, as long as you are happy, there is no problem, but if you are unhappy, no matter how hard you try, it is wrong.

So is bad weather in Manchester a problem? Are cultural differences and social circumstances a problem?

If Margaret can be happy here, everything will be ok. ”

After hearing Tang Hong's words, Shinji Kagawa nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "You look much more mature than your age." ”

Tang Hong then said to him: "You are 23 years old this year, and the next two to three years at this age is the most critical stage for players.

You're here at Manchester United and it's impossible to change and I can understand how difficult it is to occupy a place in the main team at Manchester United, especially in the Premier League, where the midfield has always had to be very tough and enduring.

As your friend, I can only encourage you to dispel all negative thoughts like escaping, no matter how hard, and grit your teeth and move forward!

If you want to be comfortable, why not stay in Dortmund? ”

Shinji Kagawa was thoughtful, and then said to Tang Hong with a smile: "Thank you, what about you?" Are you trying to be world-class at Manchester United? ”

Tang Hong smiled: "I didn't think about where I had to be what kind of player, I just kept putting pressure on myself to see where my limits would be, I think this is a long-term challenge for individuals in competitive sports."

As for at Manchester United? I'm just like you, we're not European players, how much affection do we have here? We are simply working here for the sake of career and achievement, and maybe in the future we will develop feelings because of the experience here, but we will not be bound by this place.

It's like we all understand that if we are abandoned by the club one day, no one will talk to us about feelings.

I came to Manchester United because of the style of the team, the style of play, and the manager Alex Ferguson, but other than that, Manchester United is not attractive to me, famous? Heritage? The glory of the past? The current lineup? Those are not the factors I consider when I choose to come here.

If one day those factors that attract me to Manchester United diminish or disappear, I will of course choose to leave for a club that appeals to me more.

Hopefully I'll be world-class by then, and hopefully you will too. ”

......

The England derby is about to take place at Anfield at the weekend, and Ferguson has fulfilled the promise he made a decade ago: kick Liverpool off the throne!

Manchester United has one more top-flight title than the Reds Liverpool, and at the same time, Manchester United in the Premier League era has absolute contempt for the honorable bald Liverpool in a dominant posture!

Liverpool has fallen out of the ranks of the top teams in the Premier League since Benitez left, and has not been able to get back on track after the toss of the old king Dalglish and Hodgson in the past two years.

Ferguson didn't bother to talk about the Reds with a bad record before the game, not knowing whether he was saving character for Manchester United in five or six years or not wanting to let the slumping rivals take advantage of the traffic.

From Swan Haswansea to Liverpool of the Reds, Rodgers felt the attention that a down-and-out coach deserved, but he was still not comfortable in the spotlight, and he repeatedly sang to the media, "Can you give me time to a song, quietly let me take off with the Reds." ”

This is the first time in his career to play a derby, even if he knows the love and hate between Liverpool and Manchester United, the contradictions and conflicts between the two cities from religion, culture, faith, politics and deep-seated historical reasons, the grievances inside and outside the football stadium lead to unsolvable hatred, and the use of football to fight each other to vent and so on.

To say that he has suddenly become full of Red Devils DNA and hatred is of course nonsense, but the game will certainly not be dull, and the multiple improvements in atmosphere, pressure, attention, rhythm, etc. are bound to be a test for him!

The derby is still a six-point battle for the title contenders, but it can be one of the few most anticipated games of the year for the club's die-hard fans, even if it has nothing to do with the title race.

If a player who usually performs well does not play well in the derby, he is likely to be pointed out by Qianfu!

If a player who usually doesn't perform well plays super in the derby, then fans can also talk about it when they look back on this season!

Coming to Anfield, Ferguson's impassioned speech before the game made the team's enthusiasm increase.

When it came to the players' tunnel to line up and prepare for the debut, the captain Ferdinand, who started today, continued to encourage Shinji Kagawa and Tang Hong, and they were the only two in the starting lineup to play this kind of game for the first time.

Ferdinand's way of boosting morale was very simple, patted Tang Hong's shoulder and said solemnly: "Don't be afraid of them, be brave, you can't be bullied here, see who is not pleasing to the eye, just do him!" ”

Shinji Kagawa seemed to be brainwashed and kept nodding his head.

Tang Hong looked at Ferdinand and secretly slandered: I think you are a little unpleasant now!

He really didn't want to be led astray by the captain.

His weapon is to score goals, not physical altercations.

But he can also understand what Ferdinand is really trying to say: Liverpool will not be polite to you!

If you don't fight back, they'll keep chasing you!

This is also a common problem of the team left over from the early years of the British field, the lack of technology and the confrontation to make up.

Time has been pushed forward for more than ten years, and it is common for British teams to have yellow cards in the opening 10 minutes from top to bottom, and it is not uncommon for even a God of War red card to be issued in the opening seconds.

Because the tactic at that time was to analyze the best and most threatening players in the opponent's team before the game, and after figuring out who it was, it was simple: kill him today!

At the beginning of the game, go and greet that person with a strong or even almost violent charge, flying shovel or other means, so that the opponent understands that he must be well-behaved in today's game, otherwise he will come to him again next time!

At that time, English football lacked technical gold, and players with good skills often went abroad to play games, and now the Premier League's penalty scale has been tightened a lot, and the protection of technical players is increasingly heavy, although there will still be some games full of violent fouls in the headlines every season, but the overall is still more fluid and full of technical elements and ornamentation, and there are also representatives of the technical flow of the Premier League like Arsenal in the past many years, and the strength brought by the introduction of a number of technical flow players after the rise of Manchester City has improved by leaps and bounds.

But perhaps Manchester United and Liverpool are traditional giants of England, and the meeting between these two teams is destined to be extraordinary, and some of the characteristics of English football in the past will be reproduced on the field.

In the final analysis, there is still not much gap between the comprehensive technical strength of the two teams, and it is unrealistic to completely defeat the opponent by playing skills, so you can only mix physical confrontation to gain an advantage on the field.

If it were a team like Barcelona, Manchester United and Liverpool would not even be able to touch football for a long time, and people would not be able to stick to it, and it would be an extravagant hope to foul!
