Chapter 130: Manchester United Killer Murphy

The 28th round of the English Premier League is over, Liverpool defeated Manchester United away, and beat Manchester United again after 7 years, the last time the double beat Manchester United was during the 01\/02 season, when it was still the era of the golden boy Owen.

Heynckes also completely secured the position of head coach with this result, and Liverpool fans are very satisfied with this result, beating Chelsea twice, Manchester United twice, Everton three times, and Real Madrid twice, which is the happiest season for Liverpool fans since winning the Champions League in 05.

Of course, it would be perfect to win a championship this season.

In other games, Arsenal beat Blackburn Rovers 4-0 at home, Chelsea beat Manchester City 1-0 at home, because Aston Villa lost 1-2 to Tottenham Hotspur in this round, Arsenal relied on goal difference to return to the fourth position, Tottenham Hotspur can be regarded as a help to their city rivals.

Liverpool is only 1 point behind Manchester United by virtue of this big win over Manchester United, but Manchester United has one game less, and Chelsea is still 3 points behind Liverpool.

In this way, the suspense of this season's Premier League title is back, Manchester United is only one point ahead, and the slightest mistake will be overtaken by Liverpool, but Manchester United still has a make-up game, but the make-up game is not to get three points.

And the big loss at home to the sworn enemy and title rival, if Ferguson fails to adjust the team's form, it is likely that there will be problems in the future.

With nine league games remaining, Liverpool's remaining opponents are Aston Villa, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. United's next likely opponents are Villa, Arsenal and Tottenham, but they have one more opponent Manchester City and a local derby to play.

Although Manchester City has a lot of reinforcements this season, the results are not good, but Manchester City still has a 3-0 home victory over Arsenal, 2-0 victory over Aston Villa, and the biggest Premier League win so far this season is Liverpool and Manchester City at the same time, Liverpool 6-0 beat West Bromwich Albion and Manchester City beat Portsmouth 6-0, Manchester United will also capsize on Manchester City if it is not good.

The English media are busy again, and they have come out to predict who will win the Premier League this season, mainly Manchester United or Liverpool.

Gerrard has performed well in the last two games, the last game against Real Madrid scored two braces, this game Manchester United scored a goal to create a free kick for his teammates to score and let the opponent be sent off with a red card, Gerrard has become the hottest player in the Premier League recently, Zidane has stood up and said: "Gerrard is the best midfielder in world football today."

Zinedine Zidane's words, while not widely accepted, have been influential, and Gerrard has performed at a high level this season with Liverpool's doubles against Chelsea, Manchester United and Real Madrid.

Why Zidane would say such a thing soon became apparent.

There are rumours in Spain that Real Madrid want to pack Liverpool's attacking combo with Gerrard, Liu Ting and Xavi Alonso for £150 million.

Among them, it is estimated that Gerrard's transfer fee is 80 million pounds, Liu Ting's 50 million pounds, Xavi Alonso's 20 million pounds, if it weren't for Torres's origin, Atletico Madrid has no interest in Real Madrid, maybe it is also within the package.

Although this is still just a matter of chasing the wind, it is also absolutely big news. However, only the tabloids kept circulating, and the disciplined media did not report much on it. After all, the current Real Madrid does not even have an official president, and even if it publicly states which player it wants to bring in, the new president will have to start over as soon as he takes office in the summer.

Real Madrid have finished their season early and were eliminated from the Champions League round of 16 by a big score, but they will always have a way to dominate the headlines.

There was a week's break after the Liverpool and Manchester United game, and Heynckes gave everyone a day off.

Liu Ting received a notice from his agent that a reporter from the Liverpool Echo wanted to interview him.

Liu Ting soon met the reporter who wanted to interview him, the beautiful reporter who came to help him 'clarify' the referee incident in Chinese last time.

Seeing her this time, Liu Ting finally remembered that he had seen this beauty there, last year's Europa League final to Manchester game, this beauty was reporting on the side of the road, Liu Ting and his teammates in Bordeaux made fun of her.

Liu Ting asked, "Before I start the interview, can I ask you a question, did you go to cover the League Cup final last year?"

"yes, what's wrong?" The beauty returned to the road.

"It's nothing, I just seem like I saw you at the time."

The interview officially began, and it was all about asking some routine questions.

"What do you think Liverpool's chances of winning the league title this season are?"

'It's not quite clear, but at least it's bigger than Chelsea and Arsenal, and much bigger than some of the unknown teams that sit sixth in the league. Of course, our chances of winning the title are no less than Manchester United's, that's for sure. ”

"And what about the Champions League?"

"We have the best chance of winning the Champions League, so you can refer to who has won the most titles among all the teams that have not been eliminated from the Champions League so far? And who is the team currently ranked first in the club's European standings? ”

"So you're saying Liverpool can win the double this season?"

"The double is our goal, and it will take a certain amount of luck to get it."

"There were a lot of teams that were interested in you at the beginning, why did you choose Liverpool?"

"In '05 I went to watch the Champions League final and ......"

It took a lot of time to finally get this beautiful reporter, and I got the phone number by the way.

Well, just asking for a phone number, absolutely nothing else.

The next day, the whole Liverpool team had to train as usual to prepare for the next round of league matches against Villa, and at the same time, Liu Ting's interview had been reported, and Liverpool half of the city applauded and cursed.

In three bizarre Liverpool fan bars, Humpty Dumpty is happily reading the newspaper and dancing with his hands.

"Our chances of winning the title are certainly better than those unknown teams who finish sixth in the league......

"Yes, Liu said it well, of course we have a better chance of winning the championship than those unknown teams."

Liverpool's local rivals Everton, who are currently sixth in the league, were delighted by Liu Ting's sarcasm, considering that Everton fans were not less ridiculed during Liverpool's defeat by Manchester United - Manchester are now at the top of the table.

"Liverpool are certainly the favourites to win the Champions League......

Liu Ting is also a stealing concept, Liverpool is indeed the top of the European standings, and Liverpool is also the team with the most Champions League wins in the current Champions League quarterfinals.

Real Madrid, who have won the most Champions League titles in the entire European Union, has been eliminated by Liverpool, and AC Milan, who have won the second most Champions Leagues, have not played in the Champions League at all this season.

However, if you have a high number of European points, you may not be able to win the championship.

"Hey, you see, Liu actually has a signed photo of Gerald."

"What's so strange about that? They're teammates, and they can get it by the way. ”

"No, this is an autographed photo from the day we won the Champions League, Gerrard was so busy that day that we didn't get a picture like this."

Immediately, the three strange people gathered around to look at the photo in the newspaper.

This is Liu Ting's special move, Liu Ting naturally went to watch the final back then, and it took some effort to get a signed photo of Gerrard after the game, which was specially used to keep a souvenir.

At that time, Liu Ting was only 16 years old, and Gerrard, who led the team to the reversal that day, was the busiest person, and he probably didn't remember such a person taking a photo and signing with him.

This group photo really attracted the attention of many people.

Liu Ting has another title of 'born destined Liverpudlian' on his head.

The 30th round of the Premier League is coming one after another, and this round of Liverpool's games is scheduled for the end, and the other teams play first.

Chelsea, who were the first to play, lost 1-0 at Tottenham Hotspur in a London derby, which was little good news for Liverpool, as Chelsea lost and were not so closely chased.

As the London press said after the game, one London team has killed the last ounce of hope that another London team will have to fight for the title, and this season's league title is already doomed to London.

Arsenal then started the race for the top four to beat Newcastle United 3-1 away, and Arsenal sent Newcastle deep into the relegation zone while securing their fourth place.

Liverpool is most concerned about Manchester United's game, as long as Manchester United can't win, Liverpool can win and return to the top of the table.

Manchester United loses Liverpool wins Liverpool wins naturally Liverpool overtakes Manchester United by 2 points to reach the top, Manchester United draws Liverpool wins by 1 point, and now it has reached the white-hot stage of the championship between the two teams, every point in every game is very important, and even every goal difference may have a significant impact, and the current goal difference on both teams is 33.

Manchester United's opponents in this round are Fulham, who sit 10th in the table, and most people think that it will be difficult for the farmers to cause problems for the Reds.

Liu Ting and Alonso went to Gerrard's house to watch Manchester United's away game against Fulham, and everyone cheered soon after the game began.

"Well done, Danny!!"

"Kill the Mancunians!"

In the 18th minute, Fulham had a corner kick opportunity, Fulham's Zamora headed the ball on target, and the ginger head Skrtel actually hit the ball with his hand on the goal line, so he was sent off with a red card.

Liverpool's veteran and current Fulham captain Danny Murphy took the penalty himself, giving Fulham a 1-0 lead over Manchester United.

In the following time, Manchester United, which had one less man, was simply pressed by Fulham, Ferguson was originally part of the rotation this time, and immediately replaced Berbatov with Rooney at the beginning of the second half, and then in the 70th minute, Tevez replaced O'Shea to play a back three desperately, but to no avail, but in the 87th minute, Fulham's Guerra scored again with a beautiful barb shot to break through the Manchester United goal, and Fulham sealed the win.

In the 88th minute, Rooney, who was furious and lost, threw the ball and smashed people to eat a yellow card because the opponent delayed the time and did not hurry up to kick off, two yellows turned into one red and was sent off.

The match between Fulham and Manchester United is over, the ratio of shots on goal between Fulham and Manchester United is 19:11 in the whole game, Fulham has a clear advantage, Manchester United is completely suppressed away, and Fulham captain Murphy has become the biggest contributor to defeating Manchester United.

Although Danny Murphy is not from Liverpool's academy, he has been a Reds fan since he was a child and is a KOP Murphy's career began at Liverpool, he played for Liverpool for 7 seasons, and has always been the team's midfield core and important penalty taker, he has taken 8 penalties in Liverpool, and Murphy's career has taken 19 penalties in the Premier League, 18 penalties, the highest percentage of any player in the history of the Premier League who has taken more than 10 penalties.

In the summer of '04, the arrival of Rafael Benitez brought in Xavi Alonso, and Danny Murphy chose to leave Anfield.

Murphy's time at Liverpool was no less famous than the golden boy Owen of the same period, because Murphy had a nickname - Manchester United Killer.

In the 00/01 season, Murphy scored a direct free kick at Old Trafford, and Liverpool beat Manchester United 1-0 away;

In the 01/02 season, it was at Old Trafford again, Murphy kicked the world wave outside the penalty area, and Liverpool defeated the Red Devils 1-0 away again;

In the 03/04 season, Murphy's last season at Liverpool, still at Old Trafford, Murphy took a penalty and the Reds beat Manchester United 1-0 away. It was also Liverpool's last league win before this season, and after Murphy's departure, Liverpool fell into the Benitez era of a four-year winless against Manchester United and a two-year double.

Now, it's Murphy's goal again, this time leading Fulham to beat Manchester United, and Murphy is a well-deserved Manchester United killer.

There was a lot of hype in the media, Murphy was promoted as a real Liverpudlian, helping Liverpool snipe Manchester United, and then it was time for Liverpool to overtake Manchester United in the table and return to the top.

Of course, the premise is that Liverpool can beat rivals Aston Villa at home.

Although a draw can also rely on goal difference to be at the top of the table, Liverpool will not let go of such a good opportunity to overtake Manchester United.

Manchester United killer Murphy has created a chance for Liverpool, and Liverpool must not just waste it.
