After the Champions League draw, Benitez flew back to Liverpool immediately, because the next night, the league match between Liverpool and Reading was about to start, and Benitez was going to rush back to command the game, so they flew back to Liverpool that night.

In the thirtieth round of the English Premier League, Liverpool faced Reading at their home stadium, and Liverpool fielded an all-out squad in this game, because most of Liverpool's main players did not play in midweek.

In this league, Benitez sent these people on the field, and Qiu Ze also played. In the 19th minute of the first half, Qiu Ze sent a penetrating through ball to tear apart the Reading defence, Fernando 61 Torres successfully countered offside and scored with a powerful shot, Liverpool led 1-0.

In the 10th minute of the second half, Qiu Ze and Fernando 61 Torres were replaced by Benitez, who told them to rest more, after all, the league is now at the most critical time, and it is very important for the players to bless their full fitness.

Less than three minutes after Liverpool's substitution, Reading equalised with a header from a corner by their striker on the right.

Seeing that Reading equalized, Benitez did not regret it, but there were still some pimples in his heart. Every league game is very important for Liverpool and they can't afford to drop a point now.

Fortunately, near the end of the game, Liverpool's veteran Peter 61 Crouch scored a long-range shot from outside the box to break through the Reading goal and put the score ahead again. Two to one.

It was also Zuihou's scoreline, with Liverpool winning the game on their home turf and picking up the three points. In this round, Arsenal had a bad start and finally gave up the second place in the league to Liverpool.

After 30 rounds of Premier League matches, the top of the league is still the Red Devils Manchester United, who are now top of the table with 70 points. Next is Qiu Ze's Liverpool team, which is now second in the league with 68 points, just two points behind Manchester United.

Third in the league is Arsenal, who are now third in the league with 67 points, just one point behind Liverpool. Sitting fourth in the league is Chelsea, who now have 65 points and are just two points behind Arsenal.

The Premier League is interesting here, the difference between the top four is really not much, and now there are eight rounds left in the league, and the suspense of the Premier League title is back this time. The gap between the top four in the Premier League this season is really small, and it has been one of the most competitive seasons.

After this round of league games, the third round of the English league will usher in a major event, which is the battle between Manchester United and Liverpool. In this round of the league, the second round of the Premier League's red derby is about to begin, and Liverpool will take on Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The red derby occupies a very heavy weight in English football, and the grudge between the two teams for more than 100 years can be said to be deep, and now this game has to add a background to the Premier League top battle, and the hot scene of this game can be imagined.

Before the game, the fight between the fans of the two sides was opened, and the fans of both sides took out the history of the other club's history to disgust each other, and some guys even cursed and insulted the players of the opposing team directly.

The derby has not yet begun, and the atmosphere is already so hot, which is really sharp.

Before the start of the game, when the players of both sides were interviewed by media reporters before the game, they also had a big war of words, especially between Cristiano 61 Ronaldo and Qiu Ze, both of whom seemed to be very unaccustomed to each other and criticized their opponents, which added a new point to the game.

23 March 2008, Old Trafford, Manchester.

At this time, the Old Trafford stadium has become a sea of red, Liverpool's red is different from the red of Manchester United, the battle between two leagues with the same color is still extremely hot, this game is not a derby or a derby, the fans of the two teams have long pinched each other in the stands, and the players on both sides are ready to play at this time.

At this point, the situation inside Old Trafford is even hotter than the previous Anfield red derby, because Old Trafford is bigger and grander than Anfield. After all, there are more than 20,000 people here than at Anfield, so the momentum is definitely even more turbulent.

Manchester United's anthem "Glory to Manchester United" was playing throughout the Old Trafford stadium, and the fans of the Red Devils Manchester United were louder than any game at this time, because this was a red derby, they couldn't afford to lose to the Liverpudlians, they wanted the Liverpudders to know what kind of place this is, this is Old Trafford!

The Liverpool fans are not weak at all, we killed you last time, and we can kill you this time. Liverpool fans immediately cheered and sang "You'll Never Go Alone" as if they were going to turn it into Anfield.

Manchester United fans have been preparing for today for a long time, and they have put up banners at Old Trafford, their home stadium, such as "Chris, come and be a sparring partner for our Manchester United stars", "Gerrard, why are you not dead by now", "Liverpool, you only belong to the last century, now disband".

Liverpool fans naturally won't let Manchester United fans be preoccupied, and Liverpool fans also pulled up banners "Hey, Ronaldo, you're Brazilian", "Manchester United hurry up and die"? "No moment belongs to you, there is no need for you to exist at Manchester United".

The atmosphere at the scene was very hot, and before the game began, the fans of both sides began to play frantically, and the fans of the Lyon team ripped away the players who were still frantically criticizing the opponent, and cursed the opposing players in a big victory to cheer for their team.

And at this time, the players of both sides have appeared in the players' tunnel, and the game is about to start, and now the fans of both sides are even more excited and can't wait.

"Hello fans, friends, spectators, friends, this is Sky Sports, today we are bringing you the 2007-2008 English Premier League 31st round of Manchester United at home against Liverpool, now that the players from both sides have played, I will introduce you to the list of both sides today." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson explained.

Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson immediately said: "Today Benitez released a four-two-three-one formation, which is the main formation of Liverpool this season, and the goalkeeper position is the team's main goalkeeper Spaniard Reina. ”

'In the back four are Finnen, Carragher, Hyypia and Reese, and Arbeloa, who has been starting until today, is not in the starting line-up, so I wonder if he is injured?" Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said, "We didn't get any news of his injury before the game, though! Maybe it's just a normal rotation for Benitez. ”

'In the midfield position, Benitez today lined up Gerrard and Xavi 61 Alonso. Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson was slightly surprised, "Now it is difficult for Mascherano to grab a starting position in Liverpool's midfield, no wonder before the game, Sir Alex 61 Ferguson will seduce Mascherano!" ”

In an interview with reporters before the game, Alex 61 Ferguson publicly stated that he is very optimistic about Mascherano and hopes to bring the Argentine player to Old Trafford.

However, the old guy only mentioned bringing in Mascherano before the game against Liverpool, and it is clear that he is not sincere. What his purpose is, the reporters and the fans are clear, after all, it is not the first day of contact with football.

"In the front three, it's Kuyt, Chris 61 Qiu and Benayoun." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson continued, "Today the Israeli is back in the starting line-up again, wonder what kind of performance this guy will have today? ”

"At the top is still the center forward Fernando 61 Torres from Spain." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said lightly.

"That's it! Thiem has given you a brief overview of Liverpool's starting line-up, and now I'm going to give you a look at the home team, Manchester United, today's starting line-up. Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker said immediately.

"Manchester United manager Alex 61 Ferguson laid out a four-four-two formation today, just as the media expected before the game." Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker said, "In the goalkeeper position, it is still the same Dutch goalkeeper Van der Sar. ”

'In the back four are Patrice Evra, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Gary 61 Neville. Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker said, "Manchester United full-back Gary 61 Neville is finally back in the starting line-up, and this guy's injury is finally healed. ”

'In the back two positions it was Hargreaves and Anderson, and it was clear that Anderson's task today was to defend. Gary 61 Lineker analyzed, "And when Anderson was in Porto, he had a game with Chris 61 Qiu, and his task today should be more to defend Chris." ”

"On both sides of the pitch are Nani and Cristiano 61 Ronaldo." Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker was shocked and said, "Giggs didn't start today, but Cristiano Ronaldo's junior brother Nani appeared in the starting position, which should be a big change." ”

'The two up front are Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez. Sky Sports football commentator Gary 61 Lineker said immediately.

"Haode, at this time, we have introduced the starting lineups of both sides, and now that the game is full, let's focus on the game." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said immediately.

"Haode, the players from both sides have already played, and the game is about to start." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said.
