Chapter 494: A Busy February
The explosive news coming from Old Trafford was overwhelming, and for a while those conservative fans couldn't accept it.
"This is a massacre, a rout, a brutal extermination..."
The BBC commentator commented after the game: "This is the most disparity in England's history, and Ferguson's United have suffered an unprecedented blow at Old Trafford! ”
The 6-0 score not only set off an earthquake in the British Isles, but also focused the eyes of the world on Liverpool.
What are Liverpool going to do?
Is this the rhythm that is going to stomp Manchester United under your feet?
If this continues, who will watch the English derby?
Will there still be such a large number of broadcasts?
In an interview after the game, the old gentleman seemed to be ten years old in an instant.
'It was an undeniable humiliating game, but my players did their best, they all played my game and did their job well.
"Yes, I'm sure this terrible loss was caused by my work mistakes."
"I would like to apologise to all the Manchester United fans for that."
After the old man finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the camera lens.
When people see the gray hair on the top of his head clearly, they can't help but sigh. The once glorious champion coach is now just a twilight old man.
If United lose 1-0, the old man may get angry and put the blame on a thorny player; If you lose 3-0, then the old gentleman may be angry and put the blame on the troublesome fans. But now, Manchester United lost 0-6 at home to Liverpool, but the old man took all this in his arms and did not shirk it at all.
The Lord knew that this game would definitely be written in Manchester United's team history forever, and his name of Ferguson would be smeared with a big stain after a gloriation.
But so what?
The most important thing is that time cannot be turned back, and history cannot be turned back. Manchester United's new generation of players has not yet fully grown up, and it is urgent to have one person stand up and lead the Reds out of their predicament.
"Class? Sorry, I haven't thought of this yet. ”
In response to the fans' voices and the media's questions, the old gentleman shook his head decisively.
In fact, why wouldn't he want to retire and enjoy his holidays?
But Manchester United are in an eventful time, and as Manchester United's meritorious manager, it is simply impossible for him to pick on him at this time.
It is precisely because of the depth of love that we can bravely bear it when we make mistakes.
After the anger, the fans also came to their senses. They found that Manchester United had become a hot potato, and there was simply no one to take on the task but the lord.
LIVERPOOL, AFTER THE BIG WIN OVER MANCHESTER UNITED, JUST HAD A SYMBOLIC PARTY TO CELEBRATE, AND DIDN'T MAKE MUCH ACTION. Even the players tried not to mention the game as much as possible in interviews.
The two teams have been entangled after decades of fighting, and although each wants to overpower the other, if one side completely declines, it is not what the other side wants to see.
Everyone knows the truth of cold lips and teeth, so after winning the double red meeting by a big score, the Liverpudlians became cautious instead.
On January 29, the fourth round of the English FA Cup was contested, and Liverpool defeated Portsmouth 2-1 away.
Tang Wu also did not play in this game, but sat on the bench to rest.
In the 34th minute, Liverpool unexpectedly got a chance to score. Cisse forced a breakthrough on the right to win a corner, Gerrard curled well and landed in front of the goal, the Portsmouth defenders were too nervous, and in the absence of Liverpool players around, Stefanovic and Primos grabbed together, but the latter cleared the ball and hit the former, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty.
Gerrard took the penalty kick, and after the run, he swept the goal and sat in the corner, but the goalkeeper judged the right direction and was still out of reach.
In the 41st minute, Reese received the ball from Morientes in midfield, stopped the ball on his chest and ran wildly along the left side, and suddenly got up before breaking into the penalty area, the ball passed between the legs of the opposing defender, bounced off the ground three times and hit the side-netting at the far post. Keeley was too close to the corner and couldn't get to the ball after a flying save.
Until the 55th minute, Kronkeramp fouled the opponent to give the opponent a free kick opportunity, O'Neal free kick passed to the goal, Simon. Davies headed back with his back to goal and the ball went straight into the far post. Reyna couldn't save even if he stretched out his whole body, and could only watch the ball go into the net.
In the 81st minute, Reina hit and injured his shoulder, and the Spaniard's expression was very painful. However, Portsmouth struggled to find a play-off chance in the final moments, but Liverpool stubbornly held on 2-1 until the end to progress to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
The time entered February, and in the midst of Zhou Haohao's complaints, Tang Wu still postponed the two-month abstinence.
I thought that after the Double Red Meeting, I could fight with my boyfriend for hundreds of rounds and turn the world upside down, but who knew that Tang Wu waved his hand again and refused.
No way, although the other teams don't have a tight schedule in February, but Liverpool is different, it still has two make-up games to play. If both of these games are won, then the Reds will be at the top of the table.
On 1 February, Liverpool host Birmingham City.
Liverpool beat Portsmouth in the FA Cup last weekend. Finnan, Cowell, Harman, Louis. Garcia and Crouch started in place of Kronkamp, Volnock, Alonso, Sissoko and Cisse respectively. Danish defender Angel has just been signed in the winter transfer window, starting in place of Carragher.
Former Liverpool striker Fowler, who returned from Manchester City, was placed on the bench and returned to Anfield four years later to be greeted with a chant of 'Hallelujah' by the home fans.
Only 1 minute into the opening game, Dunn made a beautiful diagonal pass from the left to the right, but another former Liverpool striker, Heskey, failed to get Pennant's pass and was instantly saved by Tang Wu.
Birmingham suffered a blow in the 28th minute when Damien. Johansen was sent off for a foul on Ingres' tackle and was sent off by referee Rennie. Replays showed Johansen tackling with both feet and high legs, a dangerous foul that was not allowed by the referee and the Birmingham players' protests were to no avail.
With one more man to play, Liverpool began to gradually dominate the rhythm of the pitch.
However, it was not until the 74th minute of the second half that captain Steven Gerrard received a cross from 10 yards in front of the goal to score the goal.
In the end, Liverpool beat Birmingham City 1-0 at home, and Tang Wu continued to maintain a clean sheet record in the league.
On February 5, Liverpool defeated Wigan Athletic 1-0; On February 8, in the rematch against Wigan Athletic, Liverpool was slightly tired and only managed to win a 0-0 draw. On February 11, against Manchester City, who started against Sun Sunyang, the exhausted Reds still did not break through the opponent's door and once again won a 0-0 draw.
However, the make-up match is not over, on Valentine's Day on February 14, the make-up match with the Gunners made Liverpool have to force up 120 points of spirit under the condition of "not opening their eyes".
