Chapter Eighty-Three: The Double Red Society
The match day has not yet arrived, and the anger between the two teams has been completely provoked, not only the players are fighting in the newspapers, but the fans of both sides are constantly scolding each other in the newspapers, forums and other places.
Before the start of the game, the two sides have been inseparable through various ways, there is no doubt that no one will doubt that when the game officially starts the day, the two teams may really stage a complete Mars collision like the earth.
Of course, the British media and fans have long been accustomed to such a situation, almost every time Manchester United and Liverpool meet, there will be such a coincidence, this is a normal interpretation of the tension between the two teams, if the two teams do not tear up, the big guy will feel strange.
Although the battle of the "Double Red Club" has lasted for decades in British football, the media and fans will not get bored of watching it.
……
On September 19, the match day of the Double Red Cross came, and the Red Army Liverpool came to Old Trafford menacingly, and the battle between the two sides was about to break out.
In his pre-match press conference, Ferguson once again provoked his opponent hard.
'Ninety minutes from now, we'll use a win to show that this world is different and that we're the best team in England!'
In this regard, Hodgson, who is also hot-tempered and refuses to suffer, retorted unceremoniously: "It's going to be difficult to play here, but as some people say, we'll see you after 90 minutes, and I hope they can be as tough as their mouths!" ”
The atmosphere at the press conference was anything but friendly, with the coaches and players of the two teams looking at each other, and their eyes seemed to be sparkling in the air.
Although there were no more drastic remarks and actions, it was not difficult for all the reporters present to see that both teams were eager to kick each other to the ground and make up for it.
……
As soon as the Liverpool players entered the Old Trafford stadium, they immediately received a "warm welcome" from the home fans, and the stadium that can accommodate nearly 75,000 people was almost full.
"This is Old Trafford!"
"Remember, we are Manchester United! We are the most brilliant red in the UK! Your time has passed, and now, this kingdom is ruled by us! ”
"Come on, Liverpool's miscellaneous... We're going to smash your ass hard, and I wish we were all over the game when we saw you guys rolling out of Old Trafford! ”
All kinds of shouting, all kinds of abuse, all kinds of uneared sounds, erupted like a wave, the "grudge" between the two teams is too deep, once they meet, it is really a never-ending scene, and Manchester United fans also do their best to "humiliate" each other.
Of course, the performance of the Liverpool fans is not very noble, although it is an away game, there are still hundreds of "warriors" here, in terms of numbers, they can't compete with the home fans, but in terms of guts, they are fearless. They don't care where this is, they only know that this is the territory of the mortal enemy, and they are here, they will not retreat, they will only face it!
Even though they were outnumbered, hundreds of away fans were still screaming, trying their best to reach their own players, so that the players on the field could feel the power of their support!
"Come on, damn Manchester United... Crushes! We are standing here, we are fearless, and we will make you suffer the bitter fruit of defeat! ”
"We are the Reds, we are Liverpool, we have a will as hard as iron, we are going to be ruthless here, look, after the game, it will be you who will be the one who is!"
"Warriors, forward! With our feet, tell the bastards here that we're the best red, the best team! Come on, knock them out! Let them kneel before us and repent! ”
It may not be as strong as the home team, but in terms of momentum, hundreds of Liverpool fans are not left behind, and when the song "You'll Never alk Alone" sounds, the momentum of the Reds fans reaches its peak.
The turbulent scene, the boiling noise, the sound of the whole world, the Old Trafford stadium at this moment is like a huge furnace, and the scorching breath seems to melt everything!
By this time, the narrator's high-pitched shouts could be heard on the live radio - "This is Old Trafford!" This is the scene of the Premier League Double Red Cross! The battle between Manchester United and Liverpool is about to begin! It's the hottest derby in the world, it's the hottest game in the world, it's a battle for glory, and now, everyone shouts and screams together, for the red faith in your heart, come on, clench your fists, open your mouth, and scream loudly......"
The roar and uproar of the scene broke out again, and the momentum was earth-shattering, and in this crazy uproar, the players of both teams took to the court.
……
"Sure enough, he was a shameful liar, a cunning and shameless old Scottish man!"
When the players from both sides came on the field, Hodgson, who was standing next to the coach's box of the visiting team, immediately shouted angrily and whispered.
Before the game, Ferguson put so many "smoke bombs", although Hodgson didn't believe it at all, but when he really saw the rumored "ill" Fan Bizhuang appear on the court, he still couldn't hold back the chatter of complaining.
In the final analysis, he still has a trace of "expectation" in his heart, hoping that Fan Bizhuang really has a physical problem and will not be able to play in this game.
In the face of Ferguson's provocation, Hodgson naturally behaved very tough before the game, but in fact, he can't help but admit that Manchester United is indeed better than Liverpool today. This kind of excellence is not only a reflection of the fact that Manchester United has more stars and stronger strength, but also that Manchester United's fame and confidence have long been piled up by successive victories and championships over the years.
This is the real gap between the two teams, even the most hardcore Kop must admit - Manchester United is the current Premier League hegemon, and Liverpool's glory is like the sunset that is gradually falling to the top of the mountain, although the sunset is infinitely better, but it is almost dusk.
Constant victories and championships have given Manchester United more confidence, although Liverpool may not be too inferior in strength, but in terms of heritage and confidence, it is much inferior, which is likely to become an unstable factor in the game.
If United's current top scorer is not available, it will be a huge weakening of his strength, and Liverpool's defence will be relieved of a lot of pressure and more energy will be devoted to the entanglement with Manchester United.
Looking at Fan Bizhuang's performance in La Liga and after joining the Premier League, Hodgson believes that this is definitely a super player who has the ability to change the trend of the game, although it is difficult to have a "football king" in today's football world like Pele and Maradona who led the team to victory by himself, but there is no doubt that Fan Bizhuang, who is at his peak, is indeed the closest to the existence of the "football king" - maybe one day Fan Bizhuang can reach the achievement of the football king, look at the current development trajectory of Chinese teenagers, It seems that no one can stop him from moving forward!
Hodgson is very jealous of Fan Bizhuang, even if his team has made targeted arrangements for this, and successfully contained the opponent in the game, but the price must be not light - with two or even three people to guard against Bizhuang, even if it is successfully frozen, there is nothing to be happy about, because in Fan Bizhuang, it consumes too much manpower and energy, and in other places, Manchester United is destined to have an advantage. The situation of the game is still very bad for Liverpool.
Hodgson, who had thought of a lot of restrictions but kept overturning them, was very pleased with Ferguson's "smoke bomb", and he wished that the other party really couldn't play, but sure enough, this was really a smoke bomb, and Fan Bizhuang appeared on the pitch in a hurry.
Hodgson could only complain angrily and helplessly, and then stood on the sidelines to explain to his players, so that they could not relax their marking of Fan Bizhuang, even if it was a foul, and not allow him to shoot from the dangerous zone.
Before the game, Liverpool deputy Carragher, who wanted to give Fan Bizhuang an unforgettable lesson, nodded heavily, looked at Fan Bizhuang standing near the center circle with fierce eyes, and grinned.
……
The game will start on time at 8 o'clock in the evening, it is very close to the kick-off time, all the pre-match preparations are ready, Fan Bizhuang is standing in front of the center circle, ready to kick off, standing next to him is his friend Kaka.
For this important game, Ferguson also deliberately prepared different tactical plays, and Kaka, who has been eye-catching in recent times, also got the opportunity to start.
At this time, the Brazilians were looking around, and the surging noise in all directions kept pouring into his ears, and Kaka couldn't help but be amazed.
"I've heard about the excitement of the Premier League's Double Red Cross, but I didn't expect that one day I would stand here and become a member of the Double Red Club...... Tsk, this frenetic atmosphere is even crazier than the Milan derby! ”
Kaka, who has traveled through Serie A and La Liga, is no stranger to derby battles, whether it is the Milan city derby, or the Madrid derby, or even the national derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona, these games are equally fierce, perhaps at a very high level at the competitive level, but just in terms of the hot atmosphere of the scene, Kaka still thinks that the double red will be better.
"Because the fans in England are more crazy, and the stadium design in England is closer to the playing field, the voices of the fans can be more unbridled into the stadium, as if they are echoing in the ears!"
Fan Bizhuang smiled and waved his hand at Kaka and said, "This is your first start in the league, man, are you ready?" Don't drop the chain, or my ridicule will be merciless. ”
"I'm different from you, I'm much more cultured than you, Fan, if you don't behave well, I won't laugh at you, on the contrary, I'll be very friendly and comforting."
Kaka said this, pursed his lips, and responded to him with Fan Bizhuang's "you just see" look. Kaka tilted his head and suddenly pouted to the other side of the court, "That guy seems to be watching you." ”
Fan Bizhuang turned around, just in time to see Carragher sneering at him from afar. But he didn't take it to heart.
"I guess it's thinking that the game will give me a big hardship, ha, I'm used to this!"
"That's because your mouth stinks!" Kaka said angrily.
Fan Bizhuang smiled.
At this time, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, and Fan Bizhuang put away his laughing expression and pushed the ball back.
The Double Red Cross officially kicked off.
