81. England Red Derby

This incident caused a lot of panic among the Liverpool stars, who were really afraid that they would be next, so after the team restarted training, they seemed to be out of shape, which made Benitez very anxious, because at the weekend, they will face the Red Devils at their home stadium.

It's supposed to be a league weekend but I seem to have a good time watching it, with Reds Liverpool vs Manchester United, Arsenal vs Chelsea, and the Premier League semi-finals playing against each other, it's a super football weekend in England. Both of these games attracted countless fans, and their attention was very high.

Although the results of these four teams cannot affect the ownership of the league title now, there is still a sense of disrupting the rankings, which may be a reshuffle of the top few positions in the league, and all the media throughout England are following these two games.

The match between Liverpool and Manchester United is more closely watched, and it is a direct battle between the second and third places in the league.

Liverpool vs. Manchester United, this is the first match in England's history - the red derby.

The red derby has a long history, with the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United first beginning between the two cities.

Liverpool was one of the most famous ports in the UK, and its early prosperity was also built on port trade, and by the time the Industrial Revolution came, Liverpool had already begun to decline. Manchester, as an industrial city in the north-west, was initially very dependent on Liverpool's port operations, but when the Grand Canal opened at the end of the 19th century, most ships could bypass Liverpool and go directly to Manchester, which undoubtedly exacerbated Liverpool's decline, so Manchester and his Grand Canal have been one of the objects of envy since then.

And the greatest hatred between Liverpool and Manchester United is the classic quote of Alex Ferguson, the most successful manager in Manchester United history: "The greatest achievement of my life is to kick Liverpool off the fucking throne." ”

And Google still remembers the joy of leading Manchester United to Liverpool for the first time: "Every Manchester is proud to have won against Liverpool. Because they are the most successful club in England like us. We can't stand each other's victory, as if we were only under their feet. ”

And every Liverpool fan, whether it's Liverpool or Everton, they hate Manchester United. They themselves don't know why, but they are very small, maybe because Manchester United is too successful, or maybe because of a hundred years of grudges.

Yes, Liverpool and Manchester United have a long-standing grudge, and the two Scots have written a strong mark on the hatred between Liverpool and Manchester United.

Since the injury to Manchester United, Ferguson's biggest challenge is how to break Liverpool's monopoly on English football. At this time, Liverpool's king Dalglish had just entered Anfield. Both Scots were men with strong personalities, delayed sharpness, and a physiological desire for machine guns. Ferguson struggled for seven years to win his first league title at Manchester United, while Dalglish beat Ferguson when he was coaching at Liverpool, and later snatched the Premier League title from Ferguson when he moved to Blackburn. The two have become a pair of derby worlds, and the grudge has subsided so far, but has intensified.

There is a famous quote in Ferguson's autobiography: "When you die and go to the funeral, you only need four friends to carry your coffin." This sentence is the cynical rebuke of the old coach when Dalglish became a TV commentator and instigated the media to besiege Ferguson.

The past of the two has also made the red derby more and more popular, and the fans of the two teams will always make it extremely hot when the two teams play.

If you can't express the depth of the animosity between Liverpool and Manchester United in the source words, then you can look at the transfers between the two teams and you will be able to understand how much animosity there is.

There has been no direct transfer between the two teams for more than 40 years, is more than 40 years not long? How many more than forty years can a person have? How many decades has Liverpool been around since its founding? The depth of the hatred between the two sides is unimaginable.

The derby is always more hot than we expected, and the die-hard loyalists on both sides always want their opponents to die without a place to die. In a match seven years ago, when Liverpool went to Old Trafford, Gerrard was attacked by Manchester United fans, who even shouted the slogan "Gerrard hurry to death". Even during the game, the fans of the United team threw stones at Gerrard, and a stone fell right on Gerrard's head, which made Gerrard hateful, and in later games, Gerrard always said in front of the media reporters: "In the 90-minute game, I want Manchester United to die!" ”

Now that this season's red derby is about to start again, the fans on both sides are excited, they have prepared their weapons, they want to make their opponents look good, let them know that watercolor is the real king of English football, who is the king of the Premier League.

The media was also hyping up the match before the game, and they hyped it up as an American derby, because both teams are owned by American owners, which should be a great irony for English football, because the two most successful clubs in English football have the surname American!

Ahead of Sunday's crucial Premier League game away to Liverpool, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson received an upset message that the FA had imposed a two-match ban and a £5,000 fine on him for disrespecting the referee.

The start comes in time for last month's game when Manchester United lost 1-0 at Bolton Wanderers. At the time, Ferguson was very unhappy with Bolton's aggressive style of play, especially Kevin 61 Davies's defence against Patrice Evra. Ferguson complained to referee Clattenburg and used profanity, and as a result, Ferguson was sent to the stands by the referee at half-time.

Referee Clattenburg reported Ferguson's behavior to the FA in his referee report after the game, and the relevant FA departments also made a ruling and banned Ferguson for two games. The specific fixture starts with Manchester United's away game against West Ham on December 29, and Ferguson will not be able to direct from the sidelines when Manchester United host Birmingham City on January 1 next year.

The FA statement said: "Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson was suspended for two matches at a regular meeting yesterday, effective Friday 28 December, and fined a further £5,000. ”

"Since Ferguson did not request a personal hearing, this verdict was made on the basis of written materials and video."

At the same time, though, Ferguson doesn't seem to care about the punishment, having pleaded guilty to the charges when the FA investigation began not long ago. Now, he is concerned about the game against Liverpool, and before the game, he has spoken for the opposition manager Rafael Benitez, believing that the pressure on the Spaniard is too much.

Ferguson said: "I can't understand where the criticism is coming from, Benitez has a great record in charge but all of a sudden, you hear that there is a conflict between him and the hierarchy. ”

'Others seem to be more interested in Liverpool than I am, but whatever the reason, it's a bit strange to question Benitez, who has a great track record in charge. After trailing AC Milan 3-0 in the Champions League, Rafael Benitez came back from defeat to win the title, which was a surprising achievement. I don't know where that criticism came from and how it caught on in football, but it's disappointing considering that Benitez has achieved such a great result. "Alex 61 Ferguson is very upset with Benitez.

However, the pressure on Benitez during this period has been real, although Liverpool have qualified from the Champions League in the group. However, this did not ease the pressure on Benitez, and the media frequently broke out the contradictions between Benitez and Liverpool's American boss.

Many media claim that Liverpool's American boss can no longer tolerate Benitez, Benitez is really insatiable, Benitez is said to have opened his mouth to Liverpool's American boss Lion again, Benitez wants to be able to complement Liverpool's squad in this winter transfer period.

Benitez is now in need of a centre-back, and he has said publicly: "We have a problem at centre-back because we haven't been able to buy Heinze and Ager is injured. ”

'That makes us have to use Hyypia all the time, he's thirty-four years old, and Carragher has played all the games, two games a week, and it's not easy for them to deal with that. The idea is to bring in a centre-back and make the team a little more balanced in that position. ”

Benitez also said he was confident of a settlement with his boss and that he wanted to stay at Liverpool for the long term. "We have a good personal relationship and we have some disagreements on our careers, but when we meet and talk, misunderstandings will be cleared up."

'Our goal is the same and to do the best we can for Liverpool, so I'm sure we'll be very understanding of each other. I've had a great time at Liverpool and I hope to be here for many years to come, maybe there's more pressure and people are demanding results faster. The squad is the most important I've had since I arrived, and we're still developing, so we can improve. ”

Although Benitez claimed in front of the media that he was able to ease relations with the American boss and make the American boss trust him again, the media reporters and fans of other teams did not believe this, and they believed that Benitez was stabilizing the mood of the players.

Now a lot of journalists have been informed that at this time, Liverpool's American boss is now in contact with the new head coach of the team, and it is said that Liverpool's American boss has only recently contacted former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho privately.

They believe that Liverpool's American boss is ready for Mourinho to accept the Liverpool team, and it can be seen from here that there should be no possibility of reconciliation between Liverpool's American boss and Benitez, and Benitez's time at Liverpool has also entered the countdown stage.

It is only after seeing these reports that Manchester United manager Alex 61 Ferguson will stand up and Liverpool manager Benitez speak. However, is this guy talking about luxury, or is he talking the other way around, this is the thousands of Hamlets in the eyes of tens of millions of people.

However, at this time, some people also showed that Jose 61 Mourinho is impossible to accept Liverpool, because when he terminated his contract with Chelsea, the Portuguese signed an agreement that Jose 61 Mourinho will not be able to take over any Premier League team in the next three years, for which Chelsea's Russian owner Abramovich has also paid a high fee.
