In the past decade, Liverpool's best result in the Premier League was the runner-up in the 92-93 season. At this point, the title of "Red Devils" was also snatched away by Manchester United.

As the manager of Manchester United, the old man also once said in public: "The biggest achievement in my life is to pull Liverpool off the TMD throne!" ”

The two red teams have many fans around the world, even if Tang Wu is in Liverpool, there are many Manchester United diehards in China.

Liverpool won the treble last season in addition to the league title, but when people talk about the Premier League, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are the first thing that comes to mind.

When asked about Liverpool, it dawned on fans that there was still a team that could win the title.

"Liverpool? That's right! Yes, and Liverpool. ”

"With TOM here, Liverpool are firmly in the top four this season, provided he doesn't get hurt!"

"Liverpool's Champions League qualification for next season is secure!"

"Winning the championship? Perhaps! ”

"With TOM, Liverpool should be able to draw with the other three teams."

Not only the BBC, but also the major newspapers in the UK. Those media and football commentators are adamant that Liverpool will secure a Champions League spot this season. But for winning the title, no media has ever mentioned Liverpool first, not even the Echo.

Last season, Liverpool impressed the fans defensively, but were a mess in attack.

"A team that relies on goalkeepers to score goals to get promoted, what's so aggressive about it?"

These are the exact words of Sir Bobby Charlton, and in fact, there are many board members within Liverpool who think they are right.

A complete and well-rounded team doesn't need defenders to score.

Defenders can be involved in assists, but it is only the forwards and midfielders who can deliver the fatal blow.

Looking at the major giants of the four major leagues, they also fit this premise.

Before the start of the Double Red Club, The Sun interviewed an old man in front of the Anfield stadium.

“... I've been supporting Liverpool for over 30 years, I've watched the ball for over 30 years and never had a team win the league title with the attacking goalkeeper. ”

"Liverpool have to change if they want to revive!"

"Since Owen can't come back, let's buy a striker with more impact and more goals!"

"With TOM here, we'll have enough money to buy the striker! Liverpool is not Manchester United (insinuating that Manchester United has been bought)! ”

The old man didn't know that the person opposite was a reporter from The Sun, otherwise he wouldn't have talked to the camera. If he knew that the other side was Liverpool's hatred, he would never confide in the microphone.

The old man almost represents the general opinion of KOPs.

These are the fans who have lifetime tickets to Anfield who are the real die-hards of Liverpool, and their advice is often representative and often to the point.

Even the Liverpool hierarchy had to keep their heads down and listen to what the fans wanted once in a while.

"Don, you know what? I get sick every time I hear people talk about which team in the top three will win the league. ”

After Garcia scored, Gerrard did not follow along to celebrate, but came to Tang Wu and hugged each other.

"I'm going to break this law!" Gerrard shook his fist, "If they still want the word 'top three', then it will definitely be Liverpool's name!"

"Gladly, my captain!" Tang Wu smiled and patted Gerrard on the shoulder and ran towards his goal.

Why bother with each other?

Wouldn't it be nice to make it yourself?

That's it!

Players from both sides returned to their respective halves and restarted the game.

This kick-off, the United players were obviously a little absent-minded.

They haven't recovered from the goal they conceded.

The Reds, on the other hand, were already ready to go, and as soon as Vanney flicked the ball, he rushed out like a tiger coming down the mountain.

Crouch and Pongler went hand in hand, while Alonso, Gerrard, Garcia and Reese split up and ran as they did at the beginning.

The ball was passed twice and found its way to Ferdinand.

The England international apparently didn't expect Pongele to sprint so fast, and as soon as he stepped on the ball, the opponent was already running in front of him.

"Fack! What a rubbish ball pass! Ferdinand groaned in his heart, complaining that his team-mate's return pass was too slow.

As an experienced centre-back, Rio Ferdinand has at least five ways to handle the ball at his feet. But the moment Pongler rushed in front of him, he chose the most unsafe one.

I saw him turn sideways and use the side of his body to face the incoming opponent, trying to jam the opponent with his body first, and buy time for his teammates on the side to run and catch the ball.

But he underestimated his age and his determination to get the ball from Pongele.

Although the difference in height between the two is 10 centimeters, this does not affect the defender from the opponent's feet to break the ball.

On the contrary, the Red Army will still be very smart.

He didn't slow down in advance, and bumped into Ferdinand by inertia, knocking the opponent to a stumbling block; Then go around from the opposite direction and quickly reach out to hook the ball at the opponent's feet.

Ferdinand subconsciously tried to stabilize his center of gravity after being knocked out of the step, and when he tried to control the ball, he found that there was an empty side behind him, and Pongler actually killed from the other side.

"Not good!"

Ferdinand was shocked and quickly reached for the Pongler jersey.

Liverpool will quickly open their legs and chase the ball after poking it away.

As United's centre-back, Rio Ferdinand is an absolute sin for conceding in this position. Van der Sar's face was solemn, and he sensed danger.

The change in possession surprised the Manchester United defenders, and Silvestre and others hurriedly ran towards the penalty area. Pongler jammed Ferdinand with his body and swung his fist at Ferdinand's arm.

Manchester United's centre-back is full of experience, and he clung to the Liverpool striker's clothes and refused to let go.

One step, two steps, three steps...

After three more steps, Pongele finally caught up with the ball and gently moved forward on his toes again.

"Chance!"

Rio Ferdinand was shining brightly, taking advantage of the gap between Pongele's forward dribble and pulling hard, to control his body and rush between Pongler and the ball.

"Ahh

With a scream, Liverpool fell directly at Ferdinand's feet and rolled on the ground.

"Beep, beep, beep!" The referee hurriedly blew the whistle.

Ferdinand stopped the ball after winning the ball, turned his head and opened his arms, ready to appeal to the referee.

However, when he saw the direction of the referee's finger clearly, his two hands couldn't help but hold his head.

"My, Liverpool got a penalty!"
