Volume 3 Chapter 98 A Familiar Stranger

"Roar, roar, Liverpool, Liverpool......, "Pop, pop", the raised red scarves waved around the stadium with neat shouts and applause, and tonight's Anfield created an even more shocking atmosphere.

The venue was still deserted, with only a few staff members checking the lawn, but the surrounding stands were already overcrowded, rubbing shoulders, and the KIP stands were flying the never-falling flag.

"We are walking through the storm together...... Until daylight", "boom, roar, roar", this kind of singing will resound endlessly, and the cycle will repeat until the moment the game starts.

There are too many stories here, returning, meeting, leaving, being enemies; This is the battle launched by their new era leader Mark Qin against the Golden Globes.

They are convinced that the 18-year-old Golden Ball, a record in history, will once again be left in Anfield, a place full of glory and a place they have faithfully guarded.

Owen, who only played three minutes for Liverpool this season and was injured again, sat in the stands at the moment, and his heart was shocked and mixed.

Even if he won the Premier League's top scorer two years in a row, and single-handedly supported Liverpool's forward line, he has never received such heartfelt love from fans.

Slogans are all over the place, flags are all over the sky, and there are huge avatars in the KOP stands, slowly unfolding, they are proud of their children, their children are so good, and so loyal!

They know that they are not those splendid wealthy families, they don't have so much money, and they are not in a bustling metropolis, but what they can give is always what others can't give, a sincere heart.

I sincerely support you, protect you, shout for you, cheer for you, and shelter you from the wind and rain.

In the chairman's box in the North Stand, Little Moors and Parry carefully carried a sickly and hobbling old man and slowly walked in.

David Moores is out of the hospital!

"Whew", he slowly sat down on the sofa, the short distance from the garage to here, had already made him out of breath, a serious illness, took half of his life.

"It's much better here than in the hospital," said the elder Moore, looking at the bustling stadium and sighing comfortably.

"David, the doctor told you to recuperate at home, why do you have to come to the game", little Murse said complaining to his father.

Old Murse smiled and didn't speak, but looked at the crowded stadium outside the glass window with satisfaction, what did his son know, after the economic crisis, the world was full of wreckage.

In the end, he found that only this was his real wealth, and now the club was worth at least 600 million.

How much did the Glazers spend on buying 75% of Manchester United? Nearly 800 million, of course, Liverpool's current commercial development and assets cannot be compared with Manchester United, but the achievements of the past few years are enough to make Liverpool the flagship team of the Premier League.

And this is the invisible asset, thinking of this, he turned his head and asked Parry: "Has Fenway Sports been in contact with Al?" ”

Parry nodded and said: "The preliminary offer of the American Fenway Group is 400 million pounds, and the intention to acquire it has been sent to Ayr."

Little Murse was stunned for a moment, he didn't know about this, so he asked, "David, do you still want to sell?" ”

Old Moores waved his hand, "If you don't sell it, will you take care of it?" What's more, if you don't take advantage of the premium of the championship in the past few years, you may not be able to sell so much in two years."

"Besides", he said to Parry, "hurry up and negotiate a contract with Mark, it's less than two years, do you want him to transfer freely?" That's more than 100 million pounds."

"Jonathan has been dragging his feet, and I can't help it," Parry said with a bitter face, "I'm going to block his door."

"Then release news to the media, let public opinion and fans put pressure on him, anyway, you have no other way now", the old Moores came back and acted resolutely.

"That would have offended Mark completely, and he would have stiffened if he didn't sign the relationship," Parry said worriedly.

"You guys have a good relationship now, and I haven't seen him sign the contract extension", the elder Moores shook his head, "Anyway, the worst result is that he is free transfer, what are you worried about"

"Then, I'll contact Jonathan to talk about it", Parry said helplessly, with the influence of Mackin now, how can fans believe this, release this kind of news, it can only be the club that is not human inside and outside.

Old Moores nodded, and looked out the window again, and the stadium roared with a thud, shouting, boos, and mixed tastes.

With the players of both teams, Benitez stepped out of the passage he once knew, shook hands with Spalletti and walked to the visitors' dugout.

Like his mood, Anfield's treatment of him was full of mixed things, with some welcoming him home and some booing him, because he not only cut off the right-back Glen Johnson that Liverpool wanted in the summer, but also seduced Torres in every possible way.

There are even more fans who hate UAE capital who hate him for fueling the acquisition, and now he has thrown himself into the arms of another UAE capital, which is actually in Manchester.

Mackin is still in second place in the team, looking at Manchester City opposite, which is completely different from last season, his heart changes so quickly, and then a slight sense of excitement ignites in his heart.

Another powerhouse is on the rise, the Premier League is slowly opening the door to its inevitable prosperity, and yes, Mackin is sure that Manchester City will definitely produce results this season, because this is the most suitable stage for Benitez.

When he was in the tunnel just now, the Liverpool players didn't turn around to say hello to Bennett, and neither did Mack, so let's talk about everything after the game.

The tenth round of the Premier League, one of the most eye-catching games, is about to begin.

……

"Anfield looked unusually restless today, maybe they have mixed feelings in the face of Benitez like this", in the familiar live room, Sky Sports' Peterson and McKa sat side by side.

"Of course, Liverpool definitely don't want to lose this game", McCa nodded and said, "Let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both teams first, Liverpool's two central defenders in the back line today Spalletti used Skrtel and Agger, on the left is still Maxwell, and on the right is Azpilicueta"

'Cesar Azpilicueta is a solid youngster, it's a great deal for Liverpool and he's very young,' said Peterson.

'The midfield hasn't changed much, except that Iaquinta replaced Kuyt today and the two of them have rotated to play defensive strikers this season,' continued McCa.

Manchester City starters:

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart

Defenders: Kolarov, Lescott, Kolo Toure, Glen Johnson

Midfielders: David Silva, Barry, Yaya Toure, Wright Phillips

Forwards: Ibrahimovic, Daren Bent

Comparing the Manchester City starting XI on the screen, Peterson said: "Manchester City also have two brothers playing side by side this year, the Toure brothers, and they have eight players in the starting line-up who were brought in in the summer."

"That's right", McCa said, "It's Benitez's usual 442 formation, but when you play, it becomes 433, David Silva is actually a wide midfielder, he often cuts inside and concedes the wing to Kolarov; And what surprised me the most this season was that Darren Bent squeezed Bam Adebayo out of the starting position"

"It seems like Ibrahimovic is a bit more efficient with Darren Bent," Peterson replied.

Maika nodded, "I think there is also a reason for this, the main ones who hold the ball in the front court are Ibrahimovic and David Silva, playing a partisan second striker, Darren Bent is indeed more concise than Adebayo"

With their explanation, the two teams have finished picking sides, and after the handshake ceremony, they each walked to their own half, and the referee Dodd matched the table, explained to the two main referees, and walked to the center circle.

The song of "You'll Never Be Alone" once again replaced the cacophony, singing around the pitch, and Mark shook his ankles, jumped up and down on the tee-point, twisted his waist again, and prepared for the big game.

There are very few competitions that can make him nervous now, he has not debuted for a long time, but he has experienced a lot of competitions, as Peterson said, he has a temperament.

The number 18's shirt swayed in the breeze, with one foot on the ball, and then looked at the referee with ease, waiting for the whistle to blow.

There was a burst of restlessness in the picture of the domestic live game, and all the players who were originally static started to run at the same moment, and the commentary of Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu also followed.

"Okay, the game started, Liverpool kicked off and attacked first, yo, Mackin didn't pass back, Iaquinta just stepped on the ball and was retaken by Macklin, and he greeted Darren Bent who rushed over", Zhan Jun said unexpectedly.

After a short back and forth with Iaquinta, Makqin flashed past Darren Bent who pounced on him as he ran the position, then picked up his thigh and looked to the right, where Gerrard was speeding forward.

"Today's kick-off is a bit unreasonable, and Ibrahim, who is a step slower, also came up, hey, hey, Ibrahimovic is wearing his crotch, Makeqin is playing football now, hehe", Zhang Lurao said with an interesting smile.

Mackin shrugged his shoulders towards the referee Dodd, and Ibrahimovic next to him walked towards his backcourt with an unhappy face, he didn't pay attention for a while, and wanted to stretch his legs to block Mackqin's side, but accidentally lost his discipline.

Of course, he refused to give in, and directly grabbed the jersey of Mack Qin, who wanted to run past him, "Shhhhh

Benitez sat in the coach's box, holding a small notebook in his hand, and shook his head secretly, he would definitely not allow such a casual player under his command, maybe, this is the difference.

If he was still under his own hands, it would never have been possible to get such a great degree of freedom, thinking like this, he turned his head to look at Spalletti, and he wondered if he had included Mackin in the tactical system, or if all the tactical systems were for him?

"This season, I feel like I'm almost out of the blue, hehe", Zhan Jun said with a smile, "How to run, how to pass, you obviously don't look fast, but the defenders just can't keep up with the rhythm"

"Hehe", Zhang Lu nodded and replied, "Mark Qin, this ball quotient, anyway, I have never seen this type of player in my life, I can see from the actions just now, it is too relaxed"

Liverpool restarted the ball amid the boos they gave to Ibrahimovic, but there was still no return pass, and Lucas pushed forward to Makqin with his back, and this time he was replaced by his national team-mate Barry.

Barry is too familiar with Mackin and never stretches out his foot to break the ball, but just uses his body to jam the position, not allowing him to turn around casually or pass the ball easily.

Yaya Toure watched Mack Qin with the ball from the sidelines, ready to steal the ball at any time, Ibrahimovic retreated to the position of the midfielder, and the top in front became Darren Bent.

As Liverpool launched their first tentative attack under his command, he was also observing the current Manchester City, a city where everything was new and unfamiliar to no one, even if his coach was Benitez, whom he once knew.

"Mark, he got to the midfield position, the position was very flexible, Iaquinta went up and picked up the ball ......", Peterson saw Liverpool, who was still slowly reversing the ball just now, suddenly increased the tempo from the feet of Mack.

Yaquinta carried Kolo Toure, and as soon as his chest was padded, he handed it to Mackin who was quickly plugged in, and Yaya Toure next to him immediately turned back to chase back, Mackin directly raised his right foot, followed the unloaded ball at the top of the arc, stopped sharply, and then flicked sideways.

Just shook Yaya Toure on his side in front of him, and then swung his calf, a posture of wanting to shoot, "Mark, he got to the top of the arc of the penalty area, shot?" No, the outside of the instep picks the pass"

Yaya Toure's long legs and Barry at the pinch made him change his mind, and he used the outside instep to pick up the entire Manchester City back line and go to the captain on the right flank, Steven Gerrard.

A red figure strode in, followed closely by a blue figure, Kolarov.

"......Good ball, Mark passed it beautifully, Kolarov kept it beautifully, he shoveled the ball out of the bottom line with the first kick, if Gerrard got in, it would be dangerous", Peterson said.

Corner kick.

"Look at the people, look at the people", because they are all newcomers, Colo Toure, who was lucky enough to wear the captain's armband, shouted at his teammates, and Mackin slowly ran towards the corner area.

It seems to be very dead on both sides, Bei Bald pinched the level of the team's system, it was really good, he thought to himself.
