Many fans around the world know Liverpool FC, they are one of the traditional powerhouses of the Premier League, and are known as the 'top four of the Premier League' along with Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea, and have a very glorious and rich history.

What is Liverpool's 'Red Army spirit'? Most people have a hard time answering.

'Red Army Spirit' is a general term, and to explain 'Red Army Spirit' is inseparable from a classic song - "You Will Never Walk Alone".

This song is the soul of the 'Reds' Liverpool.

The 'spirit of the Red Army', for the whole Liverpool team, can be simply understood as a tenacious will and a never-say-die spirit; For Liverpool FC and fans, it can be understood as an eternal emotion between the team and the fans.

Liverpool is a century-old club in the long history of English football, with 39 major trophies to its name, and remains one of the most successful clubs in the history of English football. However, it was not only Anfield's "crowded" honour room that attracted supporters, but more importantly the revered heritage and unique traditions of the Red Army.

It has a glorious past in the 70s and 80s of the 20th century, and has also suffered heavy losses from the Heysel and Hillsborough tragedies, but what has not changed is always the eternal deep affection between the club and the fans, like "you will never walk alone".

Giants are not built in a day.

Just like the 'Blues' Chelsea, even if they won the Premier League, the Champions League also has quite dazzling results, they are still considered 'nouveau riche', they only have the strength, but do not have the heritage and spirit, this kind of team has investment performance rose quickly, but because of the lack of 'spirit' in the team, most of the players chose to join Chelsea because of money, treatment or honor, as long as there is a problem, they will be scattered.

The big guys are different.

For Liverpool FC, the unique cultural atmosphere and many excellent spiritual traits of Liverpudlian people are the key factors to ensure that the club can continue to be brilliant and produce so many great players.

Commenting on the anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone", music historian Paolo Dunola said: "The city is filled with an atmosphere of greatness and unity, and the song shows an overall rhythm that is perfectly in line with the character of the city. People in Liverpool do feel that they are infatuated with a special affection for the land, and they always come together in large numbers. The song is so effective that they do feel a kinship touch. ”

This is the special emotion that Liverpool brings to people, the Red Army supporters are tightly united, it is the name of Liverpool fans, it is the exclusive name given to these supporters of Liverpool Football Club. Liverpool fans are the greatest crowd in the world and their support for the team is unconditional.

To what extent is this unconditionality?

"They'll give you the last penny they have." Shankel's classic quotations have been affirmed by many people.

The people of Liverpool have a spirit of unity, whether it is the fall of the mid-20th century or the successive tragedies of the 80s, it cannot crush the people of Liverpool, it is a kind of perseverance and perseverance like "you will never walk alone", just like the perseverance and indelible Chinese civilization, all Liverpool supporters believe that no matter how difficult the team is, the rise of the Red Army is only a matter of time.

This is the so-called 'spirit of the Red Army'!

Zhang Yang talked about the 'Red Army spirit' as the key to determining the outcome on Weibo, but more people don't understand the 'Red Army spirit', and the way to judge the victory or defeat of the two teams is the strength of the lineup.

AC Milan are undoubtedly much better than Liverpool.

The general opinion is that AC Milan can win without any suspense, so the view of supporting Liverpool is very special.

on domestic Weibo.

The vast majority of fans are not optimistic that Liverpool can win, they believe that AC Milan is stronger and has a better chance of winning the Champions League.

Of course, it doesn't matter.

Personally, it doesn't matter if you think it's different.

On the eve of the big game in Istanbul, the topic of 'AC Milan vs Liverpool' is too big, and there is a lot of attention in the country.

As the only Chinese coach in Europe, Zhang Yang's views will naturally attract a lot of attention, and many so-called 'football analysts' have also begun to quote comments, and there are basically no ones who agree with Zhang Yang's views.

"The spirit of the Reds may be the source of Liverpool's resurgence, but it can't be used as the key to judging the outcome of a game!"

"AC Milan is a giant, with a richer history than Liverpool! Two teams play each other, and there is no point in talking about history! ”

"The outcome is in the hands of the Milanese, as long as they can play normally, Liverpool won't even have a chance!"

It's still better.

Guys who don't have a very good personality, or who deliberately attract the attention of onlookers, have begun to directly target, "Support Liverpool? It seems that Zhang Yang is just grandstanding, and it is a miracle that he led Millwall to promotion, but the vision of the victory or defeat of the game is too poor! ”

"If Liverpool can win the title, I'll eat two big pumpkins live."

The review is accompanied by two pictures of giant pumpkins.

"Can Liverpool win the title? Hahahaha...... In fact, this is a little joke made by Zhang Yang! ”

“……”

This is the case with domestic comments, and the comments from European and American microblogs are not very good.

Except for some Liverpool support fans who are full of affection for Zhang Yang's support, most of the other fans are not optimistic about Liverpool.

However, the flamboyant European and American Weibo, England fans account for the vast majority, and they also hope that Liverpool can win the championship, after all, Liverpool is an English club, so there are not many objections.

The noise on Weibo is in full swing.

Zhang Yang didn't care about other people's comments, and after a few glances at Weibo, he and Andy toured the ancient city of Istanbul.

Istanbul has a long history, it was built in 658 BC, when it was still on a headland between the Golden Horn and the Sea of Marmara, called Byzantium, and more than 300 years later it was rebuilt as the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, renamed Constantinople, also known as New Rome.

It became the capital of the Ottoman Empire in 1453.

The name of Istanbul existed for at least 100 years before the Ottoman conquest, such as in 1403, the king of Spain sent an envoy to meet Timur the Great, and the envoys passed through Constantinople, mentioned in the memoirs, the Greeks also called this place Istanbul, but Western countries believed that the Ottoman Empire was the invader here, so they still insisted on calling this place Constantinople.

Istanbul is home to more than 40 museums, more than 20 churches, more than 450 mosques, and the beautiful architecture itself and its vast collection of artifacts, all of which are vivid testimonies of the intersection of East and West, attracting countless tourists.

Zhang Yang and the two played for a day, and waited until five o'clock in the afternoon before going to the Olympic Stadium and entering the live broadcast room of the BBC column group.

It was on a platform on the third floor of the spectator gallery, and it had the best view of the game along the fence.

The official game started at 8 o'clock in the evening, and the BBC's live broadcast program started at 6 o'clock, Zhang Yang and Lineker discussed it, and they quickly got into working mode.

However, there is no need to say anything in the previous time, even Lineker is just like a broadcast, according to the written content to introduce Istanbul and Turkey, introduce the Olympic stadium of the game, introduce the pre-match UEFA promotional activities, and so on.

When the time reached half past seven in the evening, the TV camera shifted to the live broadcast room.

Zhang Yang tidied up his clothes and smiled at the camera, and then Lineker began, "Welcome to the BBC live room, I'm the commentator Gary Lineker, and sitting on my left hand side is today's special guest, Millwall head coach, Zhang Yang from China." ”

"Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Yang, I hope to work with Gary today to dedicate a wonderful live broadcast of the Champions League final for everyone!"

After setting the beginning, Lineker began to introduce the two teams participating in the Champions League final - AC Milan and Liverpool, and then the picture turned to the stadium, the two teams have entered the stadium for warm-up, and the fans have long occupied the audience, the fiery scene also shows the unusual of the big battle, and the shouts of the scene have become the back music of the live broadcast.

Finally, when it came to the interactive session between the commentator and the guests, Lineker asked, "Zhang, what do you think of this game?" I heard that you posted on Weibo to support Liverpool, are you supporting Liverpool? ”

Zhang Yang smiled, "Yes, I am optimistic that Liverpool can win the championship." ”

'But I think AC Milan have a better chance of winning. AC Milan is one of the top teams in European football now, and it can be seen from previous games that AC Milan is overwhelming and enters this final, while Liverpool's promotion process is not smooth, they almost failed to appear in the group stage, although the semi-final victory over Chelsea is wonderful, but it is also a very dangerous victory......

Lineker talked about the strength of AC Milan and also talked about the gap between the two teams.

Zhang Yang stated his opinion, "Just like I said on Weibo, today's game 'Red Army spirit' is the key, and anyone who understands the 'Red Army spirit' should know that Liverpool should never be underestimated, it is a team that can withstand pressure in extreme environments." ”

"The whole world is not optimistic about Liverpool, but that doesn't mean they will definitely lose......"

————

Zhang Yang's repeated emphasis on the 'Red Army spirit' has won Liverpool fans a huge favor, but not many other fans agree with this statement.

Most people thought AC Milan would win easily.

When the game began, when Zhang Yang judged the first half of the game, he also thought that 'AC Milan has an absolute advantage', "AC Milan is very strong, this is known to everyone, no matter who wins and who loses in the end, but the first half will definitely belong to AC Milan." ”

Lineker asked with a smile, "If the first half belonged to AC Milan, would Liverpool still have a chance?" ”

"That's why I talked about the 'Red Army spirit', which is the perseverance of the game that can only be highlighted in difficult situations!"

The words that were taken for granted were not recognized, and Lineker didn't think it made any sense, especially for the fans in front of the TV.

Finally the game begins.

Zhang Yang doesn't plan to be in the limelight, but it is normal to be a guest, most of the power to speak is in Lineker's hands, and only when Lineker asks a question, Zhang Yang will say a few words.

But the fans in front of the TV soon found that Zhang Yang's occasional words were the most important.

When the game started, Kaka broke down on the right and was brought down, and then Pirlo took a free-kick, Lineker immediately asked, "At the beginning of the game, Liverpool played a stubborn defense, Zhang, what do you think of this style of play?" ”

Zhang Yang said, "It's hard to say whether the style of play is useful, but Traore is a little too reckless, AC Milan has Pirlo, and it's too dangerous to give them set-piece opportunities." I think this goal, as long as you do a good job, you have a chance to score, and there is a lot of hope. ”

Andrea Pirlo had already taken a set-piece, it was a low flat ball, and Maldini, who was ambushed on the perimeter, volleyed a right-footed volley from 12 meters in front of goal and hit the ball straight into the net.

Lineker didn't have time to say anything, but he saw that the game was going on according to Zhang Yang's words, and he forced himself to shout in surprise, "The ball is in!" Maldini gives AC Milan the lead! The score became 1-0! ”

It was only fifty-two seconds before kick-off.

No one expected the goal to come so quickly, thinking that Zhang Yang just said that 'Traore is too reckless', and it is really like this, give AC Milan a chance, and they can convert it into a goal.

After the call for a goal, the game between the two teams resumed, and AC Milan had a one-goal advantage, but they still pressed Liverpool to death in the situation.

Liverpool don't even have a chance to counterattack.

AC Milan's strong strength is undoubtedly revealed, during which Liverpool can only defend passively, occasionally playing an attack, and will not threaten the AC Milan goal.

In such a game, Liverpool can't see a trace of victory.

During the game, Zhang Yang also occasionally made comments and predictions, and he didn't say much, but every time he said it was quite accurate, which once again surprised the fans in front of the TV.

In the thirty-eighth minute, seeing that the score had not changed for a long time, Lineker took advantage of the gap and asked, "AC Milan completely suppressed Liverpool with its strong overall strength, but Liverpool's defense is also tenacious, Zhang, do you think there will be goals in the first half?" ”

"Yes."

Zhang Yang's answer was unexpected, "AC Milan will still score, there must be a mistake in a hundred guards, just relying on a tight defense, it is too difficult to prevent AC Milan from scoring." ”

"Aren't you rooting for Liverpool?"

"Yes, but I also said that the first half will belong to AC Milan. ”

Two minutes later, Liverpool launched a fast attack, Garcia was brought down in the penalty area, Liverpool failed to apply for a penalty, in the dispute with the referee, AC Milan launched a quick counterattack, after Seedorf and Pirlo passed, Kaka rushed forward with the ball nearly 30 meters in front, faced with the blocking of 3 defenders at the front of the penalty area, the outside of the right foot lightly picked the right side, Shevchenko burst into the penalty area and feigned a shot, but in fact, he crossed the back post with his right foot.

The ball slid in front of Carragher and Crespo fired a right-footed shot into the empty net from five meters in front of goal!

2 to 0!

When the score is 2-0, Liverpool's chances of winning are slim, and there is a rare comeback in the Champions League final, let alone two goals behind.

Just when many were thinking so, AC Milan scored a quick third goal, Kaka got rid of the markers, and after getting rid of the markers, he accurately passed with his right foot behind the defence, Crespo faced the onrushing Dudek and fired into the bottom right corner of the penalty area.

3 to 0!

"There is no suspense!"

When AC Milan scored the third goal, Lineker said decisively, "Although it is said that there is a gap between the two teams, I didn't expect the game to end so soon, AC Milan led by three goals at halftime, and Liverpool will not have any chances!" ”

"This is perhaps the most suspenseless Champions League final in history!"

"Half time, forty minutes, the game is over......"

Zhang Yang smiled when he heard this, "I don't think so. Again, I'm still rooting for Liverpool, I'm not a Liverpool fan, but with the tradition of the 'Red Army spirit', Liverpool won't give up on the game easily. ”

"So, I think the second half will be more exciting!"
