Today's 4 more is finished! ――

On March 21, just after noon, the whole Liverpool team took a bus to Manchester.

Liverpool and Manchester are already close by, with two cities within an hour's drive.

This double red meeting has a gimmick of the championship battle, so it has received very high attention.

The moment Liverpool's bus pulled into Old Trafford, the BBC television broadcast the pre-match footage.

Liverpool arrived at Old Trafford's visiting dressing room and the players were methodically preparing for the game.

Koeman was watching the preparations with a serious look on his face, remembering Ferguson's words at his pre-match press conference yesterday.

"Liverpool would be useless without Qin Xiong."

Ferguson's words are heartbreaking!

Not only did he erase the credit of Koeman, but also the contribution of other Liverpool players.

Coman did not respond in any way because it was not necessary.

Liverpool players know the importance of Qin Xiong, and it is absolutely exaggerated and unrealistic to say that the team would be useless without Qin Xiong, but to say that without Qin Xiong, Liverpool would definitely not be able to go today!

This is an indisputable fact.

There's no need to go toe-to-toe with Alex Ferguson on this point.

Koeman knows the hard work of football.

The winner is the truth!

As long as Liverpool win Manchester United, any noise from the United side will be irrelevant.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the players of Liverpool and Manchester United stood in the tunnel to prepare for the game.

Qin Xiong turned his head to observe Manchester United's starting line-up, and he had only played Manchester United once in the past nearly four years. That was in Moscow in 2008. Champions League final!

Manchester United may have been one of the most tragic characters in European football in recent years. In Europe, of course.

They lost to Real Madrid in the 2008 Champions League final and Barcelona in the 2009 Champions League final.

Ferguson's side finished runners-up in the Champions League for the second time in a row, leaving Ferguson with nowhere to vent his resentment.

After losing Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez this season, Manchester United have surprisingly not seen a sharp drop in results, but the occasional stumble forward, Manchester United's dominance in England has been evident for all to see.

But the Red Devils are the Red Devils after all, or Ferguson's Red Devils have always been the ones who don't seem to have the strongest squad, but they are always able to play a surprising record without being absolutely favored by super consistency and extraordinary tenacity.

This year is no exception.

Logically speaking. Chelsea are by no means better than Manchester United, but Manchester United have been able to go hand in hand in the Champions League and the league, reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Chelsea have been eliminated by Inter Milan, and are still ahead of Chelsea in the league standings!

It's just that there is still a gap with the re-emerging Liverpool.

Fleet Street believes that the gap between the two teams is actually just one point: Liverpool have a superstar like Qin Xiong!

A hero who can often rely on his personal strength to lead the whole team forward in the face of adversity!

In the past, Manchester United had Cristiano Ronaldo, but now there is none, which is the most direct explanation for Manchester United's decline in results.

Led by the referee's team, Liverpool and Manchester United starters walked into Old Trafford, the Theatre of Dreams.

The earth-shattering hustle and bustle resounded throughout the stadium, and the atmosphere at the Dream Theater was as warm as ever.

"Welcome to Old Trafford. The 31st round of the Premier League's focus battle, also the battle for the top spot, is about to be staged here. The Reds host Liverpool at Old Trafford as the Reds face Liverpool in the 179th English derby.

This season, Liverpool have followed much the same trajectory as last season, leading the league all the way, but it was around this time that last season was around this time, Liverpool won 7 draws in 10 league games and ultimately failed to win the title, and so far this season, Liverpool can still lead the defending champions Manchester United by 6 points and the title rival Chelsea by 8 points, indicating that Liverpool has made great progress this season.

Maybe the points in the same period have not improved much, but we should understand that the gap between a team can score 80 points and 90 points in a season is very large, from 80 points to 90 points, every extra point is difficult to compare!

Liverpool finally have their hopes of winning their first Premier League title this season, but they will face a big test today.

If United can beat Liverpool at home and cut the gap to three points, then Liverpool's title could be in real jeopardy.

Both teams were able to field a more complete starting line-up today.

Manchester United at home started 4231.

Goalkeeper: Edwin van der Sar.

Defenders: Gary Neville, Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Evra.

Midfielders: Valencia, Fletcher, Park Ji-sung, Carrick, Nani.

Striker: Wayne Rooney.

Liverpool started 4231.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Johnson, Carragher, Ager, Aurelio.

Midfielders: Kuyt, Mascherano, Gerrard, Alonso, Qin Xiong.

Forward: Fernando Torres.

The game starts soon, and Manchester United will kick off first! ”

Ferguson sat in the dugout, chewing gum, and the calm old man looked at Liverpool's squad.

It can be said that Manchester United missed a chance, and that was when Qin Xiong was injured in the first half of the league, and Manchester United did not win the Anfield game.

When it came to the closing stages of the league, Manchester United was not optimistic.

On the one hand, there is the pressure of the game, and on the other hand, Liverpool is in hot form now, which can be described as a god-killer!

Ferguson takes a deep breath, he's a stubborn old man who always has faith in his team.

At Old Trafford, the fighting power that United were able to display was unparalleled.

Because this is their home turf!

Coman is the second time he has wrestled with Ferguson, but in fact, Koeman does not think that Ferguson has anything outstanding in terms of technique and tactics.

But Ferguson's advantage is that he has been in power for too long!

His influence on Manchester United has long been ingrained, and this influence has allowed United to play some simple tactics beyond imagination, quite a back-to-basics.

Yes, looking at European football, I am afraid that no team can play a simple pass with two wings as efficiently and sharply as Manchester United!

As soon as the game began, United went straight on the attack.

Valencia took the ball from the right side to advance the offensive, in front of Qin Xiong, Valencia and Park Ji-sung in the middle made a two-one-one cooperation, very resolute, immediately after the pass to run forward, the first feature of the Red Devils' side attack is speed impact!

Alex Ferguson will always allow the Red Devils to play with a very aggressive tempo, keep the game running at a high tempo, and constantly attack the opposition's defence, so that the opponent cannot keep up with the rhythm of Manchester United in the fast tempo, thus revealing the flaws in the defence.

Valencia received a pass from Park Ji-sung after rushing through Qin Xiong's defense, followed by a cross-kick to the ground!

Rooney, who has been in great form this season, escaped Alonso's marking in the middle of the penalty area and ran sideways to receive Valencia's pass, and then got up to shoot!

Desperate to block with his body, Agger blocked Rooney's shot with his thigh!

Manchester United had their first shot on goal after less than 10 seconds! (To be continued.) )
