On 4 November 2008, almost all eyes were on Liverpool's Anfield Stadium, where one of the highlights of the UEFA Champions League round will take place. This match is the top battle of the group of death, and it is the most important game of the round, and everyone is certainly attracted to this game.

Long before the game, the entire Anfield stadium was already surrounded by water, and there was no room for one person, it really couldn't be accommodated. Full! Full!!

Yes, it was very hot, it was a very hot game, and a lot of fans came to watch it. Of course, there are Liverpool fans and Atletico Madrid fans. Today, a lot of Atletico Madrid fans came to watch the game.

Really, Atletico Madrid fans came very much, and almost all the stands left for away fans in the past were not satisfied, but today the away team stands are not only full, but there are also many Atletico Madrid fans outside the stadium who have not entered.

It can be seen that Atletico Madrid also attaches great importance to this game, which is why they have so many fans.

In addition to the fans of the two teams, there are also the wives of the two teams who have come to Liverpool and come to the stadium together, and they also sat in the fan seat excitedly, looking at the warm-up players on the field with excitement.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, after a short after-dinner break, the players of Atletico Madrid gathered in front of the hotel where they were staying, ready to march to the football stadium. Then, at the behest of manager Aguirre, the Atletico Madrid players boarded the team bus and headed towards the Anfield Stadium.

Amid the deafening cheers of the surrounding fans, all the members of the Atletico Madrid team boarded the bus in turn, and the car slowly drove down the street towards the Anfield stadium. Behind the bus body, there were countless cheers from Atletico Madrid fans.

At half past six in the afternoon, the bus of the away team Atletico Madrid arrived first at the Anfilmoral Education stadium and was greeted by more fans than at the hotel foreground. Almost one or two times as much, the security guards at the scene managed to block the enthusiastic fans and allow the Italian players to enter the dressing room without any problems.

After changing their clothes, the Atletico Madrid players ran into the pitch in turn to warm up, a move that sparked the first climax of the night.

Then the bus of the home team Liverpool also arrived at Anfield, and the Liverpool players rushed out, without giving any interviews to reporters, frantically flooding the players' tunnel, and then simply resting in the dressing room, changing equipment, and then rushing out of the pitch to start the pre-match warm-up.

When the Liverpool players came out, the scene erupted into even more heated cheers, and the Liverpudlians told Atletico Madrid with their actual actions - this is Anfield!

"Warm-up complete!" The assistant coach of Liverpool puffed out his cheeks and blew a whistle vigorously: "Assemble!" Go back and change your clothes! The players stopped moving, and then gathered under the leadership of Qiu Ze and walked towards the locker room.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Anfield stadium seemed to be quiet, it was the calm before the storm. Everyone is gathering liliang for the game, and when the game starts, they will burst out of their energy. At this time, the players on both sides are in the dressing room listening to the manager's tactical arrangement.

Ten minutes later, the players from both sides rushed out of the locker room, came to the players' tunnel, and began to line up, preparing for Zuihou's appearance.

"Haode, the players from both sides have stepped onto the pitch and the game is about to start. Now let me introduce you to the list of both sides today! Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laursen seized the gap to introduce the rosters to the fans!

"Let's first take a look at the starting line-up of the visiting team Atletico Madrid, and today the coach of Atletico Madrid, Aguirre, lined up a four-four-two formation." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said, "Of course, in the goalkeeper position, it is Kupe, the goalkeeper who has just recovered from injury is the starter, and it can be seen that Aguirre has a lot of trust in him. ”

'The four at the back are Antonio 61 López, Ujfaruhi, Heitinga and Peña, and it was amazing that the injured Czech centre-back Ujfarouch was in the starting line-up today. Could it be that his injuries have healed? Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laursen was a little surprised.

"Aguirre is such a clever guy who let off a smoke bomb before the game. I wonder what Liverpool manager Benitez will think when he sees Atletico Madrid's backline again? haha! Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said with a smile.

"In the middle of the midfield were Assunção and Maniche, which was exactly what the media predicted before the game." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said: "It's a shame that former Liverpool Spanish midfielder Luiz 61 Garcia didn't start today. Hopefully the guy will get a chance to play in the second half as this is his first return to Anfield. ”

'On the two flanks in midfield are Simão and Maxey 61 Rodriguez. Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said, "It's exactly the same as the pre-match media prediction, these two guys guaranteed Atletico Madrid's strength on both wings!" ”

"In Atletico Madrid's front line, the two are Sergio Aguero and Diego 61 Forlan." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said, "These two guys are very good and they are a strong forward combination in Spain right now. Especially Aguero, who doesn't look very old, but his strength is very good. ”

"Okay, now that we've introduced the starting line-up for the away team Atletico Madrid, let's take a look at the starting line-up for the home team, Liverpool." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson sorted out the information in his hand and continued.

At this time, the fans in front of the TV immediately sat down and listened carefully, and they all wanted to know what kind of lineup Liverpool was in this game.

"Today Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez lined up a four-two-three-one formation." Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker said, "It's Benitez's favourite formation, but with one less up front, then Robbie 61 Keane will definitely have a chance!" ”

"In the goalkeeper's position, naturally the Spanish goalkeeper Reina, this is not to be beaten." Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker said.

'In the back four, it's Aveloa, Carragher, Joel Luka and Luke Young. Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker said, "It seems that Daniel 61 Ag is really injured and he is not in the starting lineup. ”

However, it was not Ferdinand, who had been speculated before the game, but Joel Luca who replaced Daniel 61. Yes, we forgot that Joel Luka can play at centre-back and play well, and it was Luka Liverpool's introduction in the new season that replaced Joel Luka at full-back. Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker said in surprise.

'In the back two positions, Argentinian Mascherano and Xavi 61 Alonso. Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker said.

"Liverpool's midfield changes are still a bit big, and Argentine Mascherano finally appeared in the starting list at the same time as Xavi 61 Alonso, which is really rare since Chris joined." Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker said.

"In the front three, it's Arshavin, Chris 61 Qiu and Steven Gerrard." Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker continued: "It was a bit unexpected that Steven Gerrard was back on the right side of midfield today. ”

"Well, the player who showed up in Liverpool's front line today is Fernando 61 Torres." Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker said.

Sure enough, Robbie 61 Keane didn't have a chance in this game, and he was back on the bench. To tell you the truth, Mr. 20 million is not in a very good situation right now. Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson also said.

At this time, the players of both sides have formed a line in the stadium, and now the stadium is playing the national anthem before the game, first the national anthem of Spain, represented by the away team Atletico Madrid, and then the national anthem of England.

After the national anthem ceremony, players from both sides found their places in the stadium and prepared for the game to begin. And the captains of both sides followed the referee of the game to carry out the side picking ceremony, which is very important.

At this time, the fans on both sides can't wait, they have been waiting for this game for a long time, they can't wait for this game to start, at this time, the Liverpool fans sang "You will never walk alone".

At this time, the side-picking ceremony finally ended, the Red Chrysanthemum Liverpool team got the ball, and Atletico Madrid got the right to pick the side, and Atletico Madrid chose the side of the goal that was behind the goal of the Atletico Madrid fans.

After that, the players from both sides returned to their own half and waited for the game to begin. The fans at the scene suppressed their inner excitement and waited for the referee's exciting opening whistle to blow.

......The whistle sounded, and the battle for the top spot of the UEFA Champions League group of Atletico Madrid and Liverpool began.

"Sky Sports, Sky Sports, dear spectators and friends, in the fourth round of the 2008-2009 UEFA Champions League group stage, Liverpool's home match against Spain's Atletico Madrid has begun. Liverpool, the home team that kicked off first, wore their traditional red shirt today, while Atletico Madrid wore the away blue shirt. Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laursen continues his mission to help fans.

"Haode, the game has begun, the first kick-off is the home team Liverpool!" Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson yelled.
