Chapter 518 8 Minute Miracle (Part I) Thanks to the three little fans for their tips

On a Premier League breakday, Manchester United travelled to Liverpool.

The Double Red Club has always been one of the highlights of the Premier League. Manchester United beat Liverpool twice last season, and this season, the Liverpool team is holding their breath and vowing to capture the mighty Manchester United at home.

Liverpool's two American owners, Gillett and Hicks, even offered a £10 million winning.

Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp even threatened: If he can win Manchester United at home, it will make him happier than Liverpool entering the top three in the league and qualifying for the Champions League.

Liverpool, which has not won a crown for 10,000 years, this time is a concerted effort and the same desire.

On the other hand, Manchester United, coach Jose Mourinho said lightly in his pre-match press conference: This is just an ordinary league game. It is normal for United to lose to Liverpool at Anfield, and it is normal for them to win against Liverpool. There is no need to overstate the significance of this game.

Mu Shuai's understatement actually contains a kind of self-confidence.

Kick-off at 3pm and at 2pm, the 54,000-seat Anfield Stadium was packed.

On the commentary bench, the big-mouthed Dunphy said: "The enthusiasm of the home fans in this game is very high. Listen, they're singing "You'll Never Walk Alone." ”

"When you've walked through a storm, you're never alone. Hold your head high and do not fear the darkness. At the end of a storm, there is a golden sky, and a lark's melodious silver song. ”

"Keep walking, keep walking, because of the hope in your heart, you will never walk alone, you will never walk alone!"

More than 50,000 fans at Anfield sang the Red Army anthem in unison.

Fat Bob said: "If someone asks which club is the best in England in a century. I'm afraid no one can say well. But if you ask which club has the most sentimental team song, it must be Liverpool's "You Will Never Go Alone". ”

The big-mouthed Dunphy agreed: "That's right, 'You'll Never Be Alone' is sung the highest in the world of any Premier League club anthem." By the way, Bob, I suddenly remembered last season's Premier League doubles. The old lieutenant had just been shot by gangsters in Coventry to protect his daughter, but he unexpectedly appeared with gauze wrapped around his arms and made a great contribution to Manchester United's victory over Liverpool. It was that game that made the old lieutenant recognized as the No. 1 tough guy in the Premier League! ”

Fat Bob joked: "The daughter of the old lieutenant who sacrificed his life to protect now has a new guardian - her boyfriend Qu." If nothing else, I think this game will start. ”

Dunphy said: "Throughout the history of the big five leagues, there has never been a father-in-law and son-in-law playing for the same team. This season, the old lieutenant and Qu let us see this scene. ”

。。。。。。。。

Inside the Liverpool dressing room.

The Red Army coach Scumbag Klopp looked at the disciples with a solemn expression, and after a long time, he spoke:

'Liverpool have never won the Premier League. However, there are still tens of millions of fans around the world who enthusiastically support us! Why? Is it just because our team song is beautiful and the team uniform is good-looking? No! It's because Liverpool has never given up on fighting for the league title! It's because Liverpool will always do their best on the way to the championship! Now, the mighty Manchester United are at Anfield, boys, go on the pitch and beat them! Tell the world that Liverpool is not afraid of any strong opponent! ”

Jordan Henderson, Mohamed Salah, Philippinho, Firmino... A group of Reds stars sat shoulder to shoulder and prayed before the game: "Merciful God, please give Liverpool the strength to defeat a strong opponent!" We will be courageous with you and we pray for your protection! Amen! ”

Liverpool's players, led by captain Jordan Henderson, walked to the players' tunnel with high morale.

United's dressing room was a completely different story, with a relaxed atmosphere.

Pogba even made a bet with Nemanja Matic on who would score first between his father-in-law and son-in-law...

Mourinho clapped his hands and motioned to the disciples to pay attention:

"This game was hyped by the media before the game. They have given the game too much meaning of one kind or another. If you want me to say, a game is a game, you either lose, win or draw. How can it make so much sense? I hope you will not be distracted by the media coverage. Do what we have to do on the pitch and take the game with a calm mind! Alright, old lieutenant, take your teammates on the field! ”

Liu Yun stood up and was the first to walk out of the locker room door. Lewandowski, Pogba, Nemanja Matic... A group of Manchester United superstars followed the old lieutenant in the thick of the pack.

On the commentary bench, the big-mouthed Dunphy explained: "We have got the starting lists of both sides. On United's side, Qu started in place of Ibrahimovic, who was on the bench. He, along with Robert Lewandowski and old lieutenant Liu, formed the Manchester United front line for this game. Up front is Marcus Rashford. Pogba at the back two partnered Nemanja Matic. On the back line are Hummels, Bellerin, Bailly, Felipe. Goalkeeper David De Gea. ”

Fat Bob said: "On Liverpool's side, the starting goalkeeper is Mignolet. Three defenders, Emre, Lovren, Wienal. Five midfielders Robertson, Coutinho, Milner, Lallana, Henderson. Up front, Mohamed Salah partnered Roberto Firmino. ”

The referee blew the whistle and the double red meeting began!

Liverpool, who had the home advantage, launched an indiscriminate bombardment of the Manchester United penalty area at the beginning.

In the fourth minute, Salah fired a long-range shot from the edge of the box that went just over the crossbar.

In the 11th minute, Kutori broke down the flank and crossed the middle, Firmino jumped high to head the ball, but De Gea reacted quickly and confiscated the ball.

In the eighteenth minute, Heng broke through on the wing and fired a close shot from inside the box, the ball hit the post and was cleared by Hummels.

Manchester United, on the other hand, have lackluster in attack. In the front court, as soon as the old lieutenant Liu Yun gets the ball, more than two defenders will immediately come up to grab, force and surround him.

Robertson and Lallana kept an eye on Qu Bai and Lewandowski like chickens.

Faced with Liverpool's defensive pressure, Jose Mourinho once allowed Rashford to drop back to a central midfield position to participate in the defense.

"Onward, Liverpool!" Amid the chanting of 50,000 people at Anfield, Liverpool launched round after round of attacks on Manchester United.

Thankfully, United's backline is unusually solid. Hummels and Eric Bailly repeatedly intercepted Liverpool's threatening balls.

However, the fans at Anfield Stadium did not expect that it was not Liverpool who scored first, but Manchester United!

In the 35th minute of the first half, the old lieutenant Liu Yun got the ball in the midfield!

He first used a Matthews turn past Milner and then a beautiful Marseille spin past Coutinho.

Off the pitch, Klopp's head was big. He was an old lieutenant he had known from the FA Cup two seasons earlier. He knew in his heart that once the 47-year-old guy on the field turned on the infinite passing mode... Any of his opponents is in danger!
