Chapter 335: Grievances

The score was 3-1, with England scoring another in the second half from full-back Ashley Cole, who played 90 minutes and was a rare player to play the full game, but it also meant that Eriksen needed to watch him more.

It was a goal that cemented Ashley Cole's main position.

Some people rejoice, some people are sad.

Warnock is worried, he is playing in the same position as Ashley Cole, and he doesn't get a minute of playing time, which is not a good sign and shows that he is nothing in Eriksen's eyes, and maybe only the Swede will think of him if he is completely disappointed in Kerr.

"Don't take it personally, you have a chance to play in the World Cup."

On the plane back to Liverpool, Gerrard comforted Warnock, "Kerr needs a solid replacement. ”

"But there's Neville." Warnock shook his head in frustration.

Gerrard can only smile bitterly, Warnock's situation is indeed quite embarrassing, he was called up to the England team for the first time, but he didn't get a minute of playing time in the warm-up game, and his full-back position is not solid, such as Neville, Cole are players who can play on both sides, not to mention, England also has many excellent full-backs, such as Chelsea's Bridge and the aging Phil Neville, they are still quite capable of playing.

Warnock didn't get a chance to play unless he did well in the league and he won't be in the squad for the next time.

It's a fact.

Warnock is different from Zhang Tiehan, players like Zhang Tiehan may directly enter the national team before the World Cup roster is decided, and his strength will definitely be able to pass Guò, the only question is whether he can become the main force.

Perhaps Klinsmann's failure to recruit Zhang Tiehan also had this reason.

Zhang Tiehan scored too many goals. The influence is also very large, no matter which national team he enters, he must be given a starting position, otherwise the loss will be attributed to the fans - Zhang did not play, under such pressure, any head coach will have a headache.

Warnock is different.

It doesn't matter if he plays or not. Fans won't care, after all, his influence is much smaller, whether he can enter the England team, whether he can get the opportunity to play, it is completely up to the manager.

On the plane, Warnock has been very lost.

Zhang Tiehan and others comforted him, after all, they are Liverpool's teammates, and they also hope that Warnock can enter the England squad, which will strengthen the power of the 'Liverpool faction'. If Warnock didn't enter, in fact, there were only four people in the Liverpool faction plus Zhang Tiehan, one of whom was Kirkland, who was on loan to West Ham United, and there were only three people left after him.

Warnock is not in the squad, and the Chelsea faction is likely to add a new one, with Bridge, who has been on the fringes of the England squad in the same position, and he is likely to be in the squad for the next time. Even the World Cup squad.

When they returned to Liverpool, the atmosphere of the big battle was already very strong.

Thirteenth round of the Premier League. Liverpool take on Manchester United at Anfield, a match that has been watched by the whole of England and even Europe since the Manchester United and Chelsea clash at the beginning of the month.

Manchester United are currently third in the league and are both points clear of Chelsea, but they have both performed well in tough battles, winning the Manchester derby against Manchester City. With a win against Chelsea and no defeat away to Arsenal, Manchester United are arguably the best in tough battles.

Liverpool are good, but they have only just won against Chelsea.

The two teams have a deep historical feud. Manchester hates Liverpool, Liverpool also hates Manchester, as the representative teams of the two cities, Manchester United and Liverpool have a long, long feud, and the match between the two teams is also one of the most iconic games in world football, much more meaningful than the big battle between Manchester United and Chelsea.

This game is destined to be crazy.

What will it be? The Sun used a practical analogy: "The game between Manchester United and Liverpool is going to be crazy, it's inevitable, like in Malaysia you think you're watching at Merseyside, and in Bangkok you feel like you're in Bent." ”

This is the 145th meeting between the two teams, with United having a slight advantage in the previous 144 league games, winning 57 of them, while Liverpool are slightly behind, winning 51 of them.

Manchester United has won more trophies around the 21st century, and Liverpool's glorious history dates back to the 80s of the last century, but last season, Manchester United's results could not catch up with Chelsea, and they also couldn't catch up with Liverpool, because Liverpool is the European champion.

Although many Manchester United players pointed out that "Liverpool winning the Champions League is the most disgusting thing", Liverpool is the champion, and no matter what they say, they can't change this fact.

This is an embarrassment for Manchester United.

Last season Chelsea won both the League and the League Cup, Liverpool won the Champions League and Arsenal won the FA Cup, while Manchester United, the team that was tagged as the Premier League giants, got nothing.

They were also not the protagonists in the summer, they went through turmoil, they didn't buy any good stars, they even failed to compete with Chelsea for young stars, and in these points, Liverpool still have some advantages, and the same is true of the league results, Liverpool are second in the league, and they have two games less, Manchester United have only one less.

A few days before the start of the game, fans of both teams began to slander and show off each other.

Manchester United fans show off their Premier League trophies, they have eight Premier League trophies, and the Premier League has only gone through thirteen editions now, they have won most of the trophies, and Liverpool fans can only fight back with the previous League One trophies, but those are too far away after all, Liverpool has a new 'weapon' - the Champions League trophy.

However, the feud between the two clubs is not so simple, and it is definitely not just a deep hatred over how many trophies are in the trophy room of each family.

It's a long story, there have been too many classic rivalries between these two cities, and history has befallen these two clubs with tragic tragedies, but these have all originated from the oldest football rivalries.

The first hatred between the two teams stemmed from industrial disputes.

In fact, most football feuds in England originate from geographical proximity or what happens on the pitch.

In 1913, the Gunners moved to their former home base in North West London of Woolwich, just three miles from White Hart Lane, and the two clubs' home stadiums were only a river away from each other, which was the main reason for the conflict between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. The bitter feud between Southampton and Portsmouth is a legacy of history, with the founders and supporters of both clubs previously from merchant sailors and the Royal Navy respectively. The two have been at odds in the past.

And the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United does not fall into which categories.

In the early 19th century, Liverpool was still part of Lancashire and was still regarded as an important port and an important centre for international trade. At that time, Liverpool was the commercial centre of the North West of England and an integral part of the economy of Great Britain as a whole.

But for decades, their position was threatened by the unannounced rise of a town 30 miles to the east: Manchester. The Industrial Revolution saw Manchester flourish driven by emerging technologies. The textile industry exploded in spontaneous numbers and productivity, and by 1853 in recognition of this high productivity, Manchester was transformed from a humble town into the city of Manchester.

The influx of workers into this burgeoning economic hub has finally made it impossible for Liverpudlians to sit still. When the canal to Manchester was completed in 1894, efficient transport secured Manchester's right as an independent port, which dealt an irreparable blow to Liverpool's maritime industry and the city's economy as a whole.

It was at this time that the seeds of hatred between cities were planted.

What followed was the endless provocation of the Munich tragedy and the tasteless invective of the Hillsborough tragedy.

Both accidents were moving, and the tragedy of Yan Zòng even made the success of both clubs on the pitch seem so bleak.

On February 6, 1968, Gang? Returning from an away game in Belgrade, it was full of Manchester United officials. A 44-person passenger plane, including coaches, players and journalists, paused at Munich Riem Airport to refuel and waited for a fatal accident as it was ready to take off and return. The accident claimed the lives of 23 people on board, including eight Manchester United players????.

Almost 30 years later, two stadium accidents befell the Liverpool club.

The first was the Heysel tragedy in 1985, when in the final of the European Champions League between Liverpool and Juventus, 39 Bianconeri fans left this world forever. UEFA has put all the blame on Liverpool fans and banned all football clubs in England from participating in any European competition for five years. But. The Belgian court ultimately ruled that the government police of the host country and the local football federation were fully responsible for the accident.

Just four years after the Heysel tragedy, Liverpool have been embroiled in another horrific stadium accident. The Hillsburg tragedy claimed the lives of 96 Liverpool fans. The reason for this was the six-minute delay between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-final that year, during which the fans continued to pour in. In addition to the continuous movements and marches, one investigation after another, questioning and evidence collection, no one is legally responsible for this tragedy.

In addition to causing the loss of human life, the breakdown of families, and the tragedy of society, these tragedies have caused human beings. But that didn't stop Liverpool from rubbing each other's wounds and continuing to laugh at the way they provoked each other when they faced Manchester United.

Even in the last three decades, when humanitarianism has been greatly promoted, this hooliganism has been curbed and suppressed. Just as the Hirtsburg tragedy followed the Taylor Report, we still have a long way to go to prohibit such tedious banter and ridicule, to avoid hurting each other, not to expose the scars of our opponents, not to joke about the lives lost, and to respect each of the dead to comfort the souls of the dead.

The hatred between the fans of the two clubs continues, only the hatred that grows. (To be continued......)
