Chapter 337: The First Half Full of Boos
Zhang Tiehan is so brilliant that Liverpool actually didn't fight back much, but they have the advantage, mainly because of the fact - the football world is always about winning, talking with tables, Liverpool ranks second in the league, three wins and one draw in the Champions League group stage, and Chelsea is pressed below, Manchester United can't catch up with Liverpool in either the Champions League or the league.
Even if they used to be the hegemons of the Premier League, but that was in the past, and now Liverpool has a better appearance, and Zhang Tiehan's appearance is also better than the players, and no matter how Manchester United build momentum, they can't deny it.
But the Reds aren't going to rest on their laurels.
The hatred between the two teams has long been in the bones of the fans, and they will use the most aggressive means to attack the opponent, and when Manchester United public opinion is passive, Manchester United fans stand up and immediately shout the slogan of 'traitor'.
"That's a traitor to Manchester United! Disgrace! ”
'A Manchester United player joining Liverpool? That's the irony of the year. ”
"He's a traitor, a traitor to Manchester United, if he had been on the gallows hundreds of years ago! Hang this disgusting guy! ”
"Manchester United will let the traitors know the consequences......"
The pro-Manchester United media also began to bombard Zhang Tiehan as a traitor according to the wishes of the fans, and the overwhelming reports were as if the game had become a game for Manchester United to eliminate traitors, rather than a big battle between Manchester United and Liverpool.
Zhang Tiehan became the target, and the voices of other Liverpool players were of little use.
Zhang Tiehan was also annoyed by the media who wanted to interview, and Benitez suggested that he should not be interviewed before the game, but Zhang Tiehan couldn't help but say his thoughts in the end.
'I wasn't going to leave Manchester United, I had just been promoted to the first team and had two goals in the warm-up games but Alex Ferguson gave up on me. Yes, he chose Ronaldo because he was unhappy with me, and I find it difficult to understand why he was the one who left, maybe because he was worth more? ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Tiehan curled the corners of his mouth. Apparently the latter sentence is sarcastic, "Yes, he is worth more, he is worth tens of millions of pounds, and what about me?" Manchester United gave me a price tag of 400,000 pounds, 400,000 pounds...... This can top the average person to earn a salary for ten years, I really created a high income for Manchester United, that is my contribution, yes. ”
Hear here. Everyone can think of Manchester United doing something stupid.
'In the summer, I wanted to go back to England but Manchester United wasn't interested in me and my only option was Liverpool. Michael is yes too, his only option is Newcastle. ”
"But when I look here, Liverpool, I find that I've fallen in love with it and I don't regret it. I have a good group of teammates who believe in me. The coach who supported me, not the one who gave up on me because people were unhappy with me. Zhang Tiehan kept saying, at this time he had invested his feelings, "I'm very happy to be in Liverpool, as for them saying I'm a traitor?" If they feel like that. You can make me angry, hit me, and make me look bad in the game, then, see you on the court! ”
No one is quite a traitor.
Zhang Tiehan spent five years at Manchester United. Of course he knows the hatred between Manchester United and Liverpool, and no Manchester United player will not hate Liverpool and vice versa, but does he still have a choice?
He wanted to stay at Manchester United, but he didn't have a choice.
But he won't regret it, from the moment he stepped out of Manchester United, he won't remember the past, he was a Manchester United player, yes, he has always had this brand on him, he can't shake off what he wants, but football is football, he left, he is now a Liverpool player, he will try to play for Liverpool.
This is professional football.
……
The big battle between Manchester United and Liverpool began with hatred.
It was not Zhang Tiehan's hatred, but the hatred between all the players, fans and everyone else on both teams, Liverpool fans greeted Manchester United with all kinds of abusive slogans, and Liverpool players and fans were insulted in the dressing room or in public on more than one occasion.
"Son of a bitch!"
Zhang Tiehan heard this word I don't know how many times.
Carragher cursed in the dressing room, and Steven Gerrard and other players who grew up in Liverpool's academy shared the same hatred - they had just returned to Liverpool from England and had played against Manchester United.
The hatred is directed at Manchester United, not any one person.
As the game approached, the air in the dressing room became tense, and the same was true on the training pitch, where there was a sense of solemnity on everyone's face.
Benitez also has a solemn face, close to the morning of the game, he spent a whole morning with the players in the training ground, which is rare to see, especially Benitez has become surprisingly strict, as long as a player wanders or makes a mistake in training, he is greeted by Benitez's dissatisfied scolding.
There were also more fans around Melwood to watch the training, shouting in support of the team and insulting Manchester United at the same time, and there were many reporters who wanted to interview them, and some of them also shouted slogans along with the fans, as if a world war was about to break out.
But most journalists are concerned with the team itself.
Alonso was injured in the national team, this game is not able to play at all, reporters are concerned about whether this will affect Liverpool, in addition to whether Zhang Tiehan can score in the game against Manchester United is also very important, before Zhang Tiehan has been stable dìng one goal a game, this is not easy, but the opponent is Manchester United, Manchester United's defense will not make Zhang Tiehan better, he can still score is a doubt, after all, the last time he played against Chelsea in the Champions League, Zhang Tiehan did not have any expression.
The atmosphere before the game was like this, and these were all deeply felt by Zhang Tiehan.
Teammates insulted Manchester United, but he didn't participate, he was engraved with the word 'Manchester United', Manchester United fans scolded him as a traitor, which still had some impact on Zhang Tiehan, but he didn't scold Manchester United, not because of a traitor or anything, but because he had no position.
He came through the Manchester United Academy and was not a pure Anfield player.
This is the difference between him and Gerrard, Carragher and others, especially in a game called 'England's first derby', he has no position to scold Manchester United, all he can do is to show himself well in the game and let those who call him a traitor. I hate him even more...... At the same time, let them know how wrong the choice was to let him go in the first place.
He just waited for the game.
But before the game, when asked by reporters about how he felt about playing against Manchester United in Liverpool, Zhang Tiehan still said something that suited his character, "No matter who the opponent is, I will beat it!" ”
……
The match between Manchester United and Liverpool began in an atmosphere of hatred. This is the English derby, the first derby in the history of England, and the whole game is also in the heat of the game.
Both teams failed to score in the first half.
In addition to this, the other qiē can be called 'England's first derby', with high intensity and high rhythm and high intensity.
Zhang Tiehan seemed very silent before the game, and the only remark was that sentence.
That was interpreted by Manchester United as arrogance, and did not take Manchester United seriously, this 'traitor' completely looked down on Manchester United. Or rather, he was trying to provoke Manchester United.
But Liverpool fans are very happy, Zhang Tiehan has been in Liverpool for almost half a year, before he was a Roma player, but he did come from Manchester United's academy, they support Zhang Tiehan, because Zhang Tiehan is now a member of Liverpool, but at the same time they are also worried that Zhang Tiehan will not perform well against Manchester United, but when Zhang Tiehan said this. They knew that Zhang Tiehan ...... It's still that Zhang Tiehan!
He kept his sanity all the time. He's going to anger Manchester United, he wants to win!
But they were all wrong......
Zhang Tiehan didn't say anything to provoke Manchester United, what he said was what he thought in his heart, and he was telling the truth, he played against Manchester United in Rome last season, and he was quite good at that time. Scoring three goals in two legs is also quite efficient.
United have largely changed in the summer.
Now he's at Liverpool, a stronger team than Roma, and is there any reason to lose against Manchester United at Anfield? Perhaps there are many reasons to be found in Manchester United's media reports, such as Alonso's inability to play. For example, Liverpool's instability and poor defense are not a reason, but these are not reasons for Zhang Tiehan, he has only one belief, and that is to score goals.
Scoring goals is the only way to win, defensively bad or something, he can beat them with more goals than Manchester United.
That's it.
So in the first half, Zhang Tiehan was quite active, but Manchester United's defense was also quite solid, and the two teams were more in the midfield, and as a result, in the first half of the game, Zhang Tiehan failed to get any good opportunities, and because of this, Manchester United fans had reason to laugh at Zhang Tiehan.
"Look, that's the guy who will beat Manchester United!"
"This traitor has nothing to show for himself."
"He's definitely scared of Manchester United! He said that just to motivate himself, he was scared......"
Manchester United fans will not be stingy with sarcasm and ridicule of Zhang Tiehan - even though they did not score, they still used not to score to mock Zhang Tiehan, and for the reason of what Zhang Tiehan said before the game, Manchester United fans regarded Zhang Tiehan as a mortal enemy - the most intolerable of Liverpool players.
Although it was an away game, Manchester United fans have been booing Zhang Tiehan since the beginning.
Manchester United fans sarcastically mocked Zhang Tiehan for not scoring, but in reality, the neutral commentators did not say so, "Zhang was not affected by the boos at all. United fans wanted to mock Zhang in this way, but his appearance was really good, so far he had three direct tackles, two clever passes, and three shots, two of which hit the woodwork, one almost scored, and he only had one turnover......"
These numbers are a complete record of Zhang Tiehan's table.
The neutral commentator's assessment is true, but Manchester United fans will not be reasonable or anything, no matter what Zhang Tiehan says, he can only treat the enemy with one attitude - 'shh......hhhhhh
Nothing else.
However, Liverpool fans will not let Manchester United fans be arrogant, Manchester United fans booed Zhang Tiehan, Liverpool fans were Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo booed together, and when these two took the ball, Anfield Stadium became a world of boos.
Rooney is booed all the time.
This may have something to do with his transfer to Manchester United, he used to play for Everton, and now he plays for Manchester United, there is a banner in the stands with Rooney's clown gesture depicted, and the fans use this to satirize Rooney for going to Manchester United for money, and when Rooney gets the ball, the Liverpool fans let out a huge boo, completely silencing the voice of Manchester United fans.
It's Anfield Stadium and Liverpool has a lot of fans.
In addition to Rooney, there is also C-Ronaldo, before Liverpool and Manchester United played, C-Ronaldo did not become the object of hatred of Liverpool fans, but now he has a conflict with Zhang Tiehan, which made him booed at Anfield Stadium.
There are also fans who use the banner of 'Thank you, Quesly Diano, you gave us Zhang' to satirize C-Ronaldo's small popularity, and at the same time support Zhang Tiehan.
Three young stars, on two teams, were booed.
But none of them were deterred by the boos, and although they are all very young, they are also seasoned players in the top flight, and in their early twenties, they can achieve this feat in the history of world football. (To be continued......)
