Chapter 1138: The Imperial Judge
The game between Manchester United and Liverpool will certainly be a war of words, especially at this sensitive and crucial moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's just that Benitez is a restrained and deep character, and he doesn't like to quarrel with people, at this point, he is not even as good as the suave Wenger, the professor can still say a few words when he is scolded by Mourinho, and Benitez is at most in terms of exposing shortcomings.
The main force of the war of words is still the player, Rooney is the vanguard of Manchester United, and Mascherano is the main force here.
It is never possible to distinguish the winner from the loser, unless it is escalated to fists and feet, Liverpool and Manchester United are both giant teams, and any substitute is also a millionaire's net worth, of course, it is impossible to invite a fight on the street, and talking on the field has become the last chapter of the war of words.
Ever since they learned that the referee for the Manchester United and Liverpool match was Webb, who was a police officer, the mood of the Liverpudlians had become bad.
In terms of referee level and reputation, Webber is fully qualified to enforce the Double Red Cross, but Webber also has the indecent title of "Manchester United's royal referee", so let him officiate this key game, and the Liverpudlian people are very uncertain.
Webber never admits that he is Manchester United's royal referee, he uses data to speak, thinking that he enforces Manchester United's games, Manchester United's winning rate is only 50%, and the number of red and yellow cards is two more than that of the opponent.
Another well-known referee, Pol, also defended Weber, believing that it was a complete rumor, and he dared to use his personality to vouch for Weber's fair and impartial law enforcement.
Whether it is Weber's self-proof innocence, or Bol's personality guarantee, can not reassure Liverpudlians, since Webber can be called the royal referee, it will certainly not be groundless, in fact, in the number of penalties awarded, Webber awarded Manchester United is six times the penalty awarded to other teams, this data is shocking, and although Webber said that he has officiated the game, Manchester United's winning rate is only 50%, but the game has key games and irrelevant games, if the key games Manchester United wins, Manchester United lost an inconsequential game, which is also a 50 per cent win rate, but the meaning is completely different.
Benitez took issue with the Premier League's refereeing committee, wanting a different referee to officiate the game, such as Bol. However, the application was rejected by the refereeing committee on the grounds that United manager Alex Ferguson felt it was unfair to United to do so.
Liverpool and Manchester United are Premier League giants with deep influence, and no one in the referee committee dared to offend, so they could only maintain the original decision and let Webb continue to officiate the double red meeting.
On the day of the game, Manchester City was bustling like a festival, and even the drizzle in the sky could not cool the enthusiasm of Manchester United fans and Liverpool fans.
"Manchester United must win!"
"Liverpool must win!"
"Long live the Red Army!"
"The Red Devils are invincible!"
"! It's so arrogant to come to Manchester! Look for death! ”
"Lao Tzu is here to destroy your prestige!"
"****!"
"Just do it!"
……
In the streets of Manchester, such a scene is played out from time to time, and the police have been fully prepared for this game, but it is difficult to completely avoid the fight between the fans of both sides.
Unlike Chelsea in the FA Cup, Liverpool walked into Old Trafford with the confidence to win.
The league is fundamental, and the struggle in the league is life-and-death, and it must not be avoided.
After Arsenal fell into a draw circle, Liverpool's title opponent was actually only Manchester United.
Although there are still seven games to go after this game, if they can beat Manchester United today and widen the gap between the two sides to four points, Liverpool will basically seal the title.
Whether to slowly spend time with Manchester United, or to finish the battle, Benitez seriously considered this issue for a long time, and also discussed it with his assistants many times, and in the end, Benitez was still determined to solve Manchester United once and for all in this game and leave his energy to the Champions League.
Ferguson's goal is definitely to win, and the tactics are definitely attacking, and Benitez can imagine how tragic this game will be.
While the players entered the field holding the caddy's hand, the on-site commentator began to announce the starting lineups of both sides.
“…… Manchester United line-up (4-3-2-1): 1-Van der Sar; 6-Brown, 5-Ferdinand, 15-Vidic, 3-Evra. Feel You, 18-Scholes; 7-C. Ronaldo, 11-Ryan Giggs, 10-Rooney...... Liverpool line-up (4-2-3-1): 25-Reina; 3-Finnan, 23-Carragher, 5-Ager, 6-Reese; 14-Alonso, 20-Mascherano; 18-Kuyt, 8-Gerrard, 19-Babbel; 9-Chen Yu......
The on-site commentator was broadcasting the starting lists of both sides, and his voice was very loud when he chanted the names of Manchester United players, and almost a decibel lower when he broadcast the names of Liverpool players.
Matches like Liverpool vs Manchester United are played at most three or four games a season, and there are fewer encounters in the crucial moments of the league title race, with fans on both sides treating the game as a holiday.
Before the game even started, the stands were full, and there was not a single empty seat, which was made up of three-quarters of Manchester United fans and the remaining quarter of Liverpool fans, but because the shirts of both sides were red, the whole stadium looked like a sea of fire, and it was scorching red.
The first climax in the stands was set off when the on-site commentator called the names of the players.
The name of every Manchester United player was followed by a loud and wild cheer and applause, every Liverpool fan was followed by a shrill boo, and countless debris fell on the heads of the Liverpool players as they walked under the aisle.
Liverpool fans are trying to make their voices heard, and at least they need a little presence.
However, this is not Anfield, this is Old Trafford, there are more than 50,000 Red Devils fans here, and it is impossible for more than 10,000 Reds fans to make waves here, and their cheers and boos are suppressed, and to outsiders, they look like mutes who can only open their mouths but cannot make their own voices.
None of Liverpool's starters were visiting Old Trafford for the first time and they knew what to expect here, but when they did experience the suffocating atmosphere, they couldn't help but feel Alexander.
Webber, the referee who officiated the game, walked in front with the ball in his hand, he had a smile on his face, deliberately making himself natural, but it was difficult for him to do it, there seemed to be a "royal referee" voice in the noise, he didn't know that this was not an illusion, he thought that his smile must be very stiff and ugly, so he had to put away his smile and walk towards the center of the court without squinting.
The biggest pressure in this game is not the coach or the players, but the referee Webb.
Webb, 37, a South Yorkshire police officer, became an international referee in '05 and is a key player in UEFA.
Webber was a fan of Manchester United in private, but he never admitted it in public and his profession did not allow him to be a fan of either team.
However, even if Webber is careful, he is inevitably considered to be the referee of Manchester United.
Webber is a little aggrieved about this, but he has to admit that there is a little basis for this statement, he is a fan of Manchester United who is psychologically biased towards Manchester United, and some actions between the adjudicable and the unjudicable, in the scale of law enforcement, psychological tendencies will play a role.
In addition, good referees have a commonality, that is, they can not only perfectly enforce a game, but also perfectly show the intentions of the Football Association and the Football Federation, many games are not just what Weber himself wants to be fair, he must implement the intentions of the Football Association, such as today's game, if possible, the Football Association prefers to get a draw, so that the championship becomes more intense and more suspenseful, which is conducive to the entire Premier League.
Of course, neither the Football Association nor Webb will be foolish to interfere with the outcome of the game, and whoever can win by a landslide will go with the flow, and only if the two sides are deadlocked, he will have a chance to achieve his intentions.
After shaking hands, picking sides, exchanging flags and emblems, and after all these preparatory activities, players from both sides came to their own halves to prepare for the upcoming game.
The Liverpool players gathered in a circle, each holding out a palm together, Gerrard raised his head, and everyone shouted together, "Liverpool will win!" ”
From the moment they entered the field, Liverpool's players held back their anger, and this suppressed emotion finally erupted at this moment, and the players were suddenly in a much more relaxed mood.
In the stands
Zhang Shubin, Zhao Muyu, and Zhang Youzhen all came to the scene, they all knew how important this game was to Chen Yu and Liverpool, they had to come to the scene to cheer for Chen Yu, they knew that although among thousands of fans, they were as insignificant as a drop of water in the ocean, but they believed that as long as Chen Yu knew that they were here, he would be able to see them.
Among the Liverpool fans, there is only one fan who does not wear a Liverpool jersey, a female fan, the reason why she can judge that she is a fan is because she is wearing the jersey of the Chinese team, she is Lin Hong.
Lin Hong also came to the game today, she has now upgraded from a non-fan to a pseudo-fan, she knows that this game is a key game for Chen Yu to win the championship, and she hopes that at the critical moment, she can spend it with the person she loves.
In the VIP box, three Americans gathered for a Premier League game, Hicks, Gillette, Glazer, Liverpool and Manchester United owners, who were not fans, but who cared more about the outcome than the fans.
"After this game, the world will know who is the best team in the Premier League." Glazer was holding a glass of red wine with a very stinky look on his face.
'You don't have to play this game, the world knows that Liverpool are the best team and we have more trophies than any other team. Hicks replied faintly.
'It's a shame that the best team in the Premier League only stole one Premier League title last year. Glazer sarcastically.
Gillette said coldly: "A team that has only won one Champions League can be called the best team in the Premier League, Liverpool has won it six times, why can't you say that." “
Glazer was choked for a moment, he suddenly thought that he might not be able to say two mouths of the other party with one mouth, he said with a smile: "It's a pity that the best team is going bankrupt, if you need to, I can buy Chen Yu and Gerrard in a package, I will pay the highest price, and I can be regarded as reaching out to help my fellow countrymen." ”
Glazer said it viciously, but the attack worked well, which was where Gillette and Hicks had the most headaches.
Gillette was unwilling to be humiliated, he sneered: "Don't worry, I won't sell Chen Yu and Gerrard to Manchester United if they go bankrupt, because they don't look down on Manchester United." ”
"Haha, haha." The Glazer snorted two haha, turned his gaze to the court, and ignored the two compatriots.
Gillette and Hicks were annoyed by the Glazers, their faces became gloomy, and they didn't speak, but just looked at the court and thought about their thoughts.
