When Chen Yu was drinking at home with relatives and friends, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson was also drinking, but Chen Yu was drinking happy wine, and Ferguson was drinking stuffy wine.

Liverpool is not easy to play, this year's Liverpool is even more difficult to play, so far, Liverpool has been unbeaten at home for 30 games, 15 consecutive league wins, such a state can definitely be described as terrifying, although Manchester United's strength is not worse than Liverpool, but in the face of such a hot state of the opponent, even Ferguson, who has experienced strong winds and waves, can't help but worry.

In addition to Liverpool's hot form, there is another thing that gives Ferguson a headache, that is, Liverpool's striker Chen Yu.

In a sense, without Chen Yu, there would be no Liverpool's current 15-game winning streak, which is not an exaggeration, Liverpool's current 15-game winning streak started from Chen Yu's comeback, and in Liverpool's fifteen games, Chen Yu scored every game, and now he has scored 20 goals, with an average of more than one goal per game, and the efficiency is terrible.

If the game against Liverpool cannot limit Chen Yu's play, then Manchester United will definitely not be able to get away from the road.

Manchester United's tactics in this game are very simple, that is, defensive counterattack, win if you can, draw if you can't win, as long as you don't lose, but a giant team like Manchester United, even if it is at Liverpool's home stadium, you can't put an iron bucket formation, so even if you win, you will definitely be ridiculed to death by British fans after the game, and the defensive counterattack is already the limit that Ferguson can arrange.

Since it is impossible to set up an iron bucket formation, Ferguson must consider how to defend the opponent's core players and limit their play, stars like Gerrard, Alonso, and Crouch, whether it is Ferguson or Manchester United players are very familiar with it, and it is much easier for them to arrange defense, but Ferguson and his Manchester United met Chen Yu for the first time today, and today can definitely be called an encounter, even if Ferguson and his disciples have studied Chen Yu countless times in the video, it is still different in reality, And what makes Ferguson even more troublesome is that Chen Yu's position is not fixed, he can play forward, winger, and forward, and what is even more outrageous is that Chen Yu can also play a cameo role as a midfielder and goalkeeper.

Of course, Chen Yu will definitely not play in the back in this game, in this position, Liverpool has a lot of options, Alonso, Gerrard, Sissoko, and Mascherano who transferred from the winter, but in the front court, Chen Yu can be sidelined, and it is difficult to arrange fixed players who will defend Chen Yu.

After thinking about it, most of the red wine was drunk, and Ferguson still couldn't figure out how Benitez would use Chen Yu, and finally Ferguson decided to take a zone defense approach to Chen Yu, where Chen Yu appeared, the players in that position put the focus of defense on Chen Yu, although there was no way to make targeted defensive arrangements, but at least there would be no worst situation of missing defense.

Ferguson is a very resolute person, thoughtful before the game, every detail is carefully considered, once the decision is made, he will never change it lightly, and after thinking about how to deal with Chen Yu, Ferguson put down his wine glass and went to bed with confidence.

The highlight of the 29th round of the Premier League was the red derby between Liverpool and Manchester United.

Before this, Liverpool has broken Arsenal's winning streak, the momentum is more than European, many senior football commentators, and football celebrities believe that only Manchester United can interrupt Liverpool's winning streak, if Manchester United can't draw at Anfield or win against Liverpool, maybe Liverpool's terrifying winning streak will continue until the end of the season, so Manchester United is likely to be reversed by Liverpool, after all, Manchester United is almost impossible to win the last nine games under great pressure.

Both Manchester United and Liverpool also understood what the game meant, and everyone played it as if it were a final.

The game was played at 8pm, and the Anfield stadium was full at 7pm, with plenty of unticketed fans outside the stadium.

Some fans have been waiting for a long time without scalpers selling tickets, seeing that the game is about to start, and in a fit of anger, they are looking for a place to watch the live broadcast, and some fans have been waiting obsessively, hoping that someone will come out to sell tickets, so that they can experience the red derby that has been rare in the past ten years.

In the locker room, the players of Liverpool and Manchester United also felt nervous, especially Liverpool, Liverpool's dressing room was relatively relaxed and lively, but today, after warming up from the field, the Liverpool players sat there very strictly, some closed their eyes to recuperate, and some packed up their shoes, shin guards and other tools, but no one spoke.

Captain Gerrard once took this group of younger brothers to visit gay clubs, and his people were not as strict as they looked like, but today he was also silent, not because he didn't want to speak, but because he felt that he had nothing to say, he had to fight Manchester United at least twice a year, and what he should say had already been said, as for encouragement, do you still need to mobilize to play Manchester United?

However, Gerrard thought that Chen Yu was participating in the red derby for the first time today, so he walked to Chen Yu's side, sat down, and patted Chen Yu's shoulder, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, "Hey! How did you feel about playing Manchester United for the first time? ”

Chen Yu said very frankly: "Some nervous, some excited, and some expectant. ”

Steven Gerrard smiled and said, "It's the same as the first time I played Manchester United, but soon you'll get used to it. ”

Chen Yu said: "Today we are under more pressure. ”

Gerrard said: 'That's for sure, we're the catch-ups, but Manchester United won't be easy and they'll be passive when they lose. ”

Chen Yu said: "It depends on who can play on the spot." ”

Gerrard said: "Play well, it's going to be tough today and we need your goals. ”

Chen Yu said: "I think as long as I can win, it doesn't matter if I score or not. ”

Gerrard smiled: "You have a good mentality, you can relax like this, I'm sure you'll still score." ”

Chen Yu smiled: "I have no pressure, 20 goals in 15 rounds, if I still have pressure, then I am too greedy." ”

The two were chatting when coach Rafael Benitez came back with a relaxed face.

He also has a starting list of Manchester United in his hand, "I got the starting list of Manchester United, it is not much different from what we guessed, Evra plays left-back, Scholes and Carrick play midfield, Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs are separated, this is a very solid lineup, Ferguson wants to play defensive counterattack is certain, so it puts forward higher requirements for our attack and defense, we will definitely not get so many chances, so our forwards must take advantage of the opportunities, and our back line must be more concentrated, United's forwards must not be allowed a chance to sneak up. It was a close game. Historically, the game between us has been decided by a small detail: a free kick, a corner kick or a player's skill. ”

Speaking of this, Bennett looked at Chen Yu meaningfully, "Chen, your task today is very heavy, judging from Ferguson's arrangement, Evra will not have many opportunities to assist today, if you see you on the side, Liverpool will definitely implement a trap defensive tactic for you, you must be careful." ”

Chen Yu nodded and didn't speak, but his hands were clenched tightly into fists.

Benitez continued: "There is a lot of pressure on Manchester United and they know it's going to be a tough game for them. If they win, they will be one step closer to the title and more confident of winning the title. If we win, we and Chelsea are both three points clear of Manchester United and we can't afford to miss the next nine games. So for us, we have to win this game if we want to win the title, and only by winning can we force Manchester United to make mistakes and we can turn around. ”

In the away team's dressing room, Ferguson also got Liverpool's starting lineup, Ferguson keenly found that Liverpool's forward line was a combination of Crouch, Kuyt and Chen Yu, and the midfielders were Gerrard, Alonso, Sissoko, which reassured Ferguson, Benitez really didn't make his calculations, and really discharged a strong attacking formation, but Ferguson was not worried, Crouch was okay to deal with some general teams, and he was still a little thin to play Manchester United, under the sandwich of Vidic and Ferdinand, He is likely to become a poor sandwich, and Chen Yu playing a winger is also among Ferguson's calculations, because Ferguson also understands where the problems of his players are, Evra is strong in attack and weak in defense, Chen Yu will definitely use it to deal with him, but Ferguson does not think that Evra alone can block Chen Yu, the helper he designed for Evra is Ronaldo, Scholes and Carrick will also make up for the past at critical moments, so that even if Chen Yu is awesome, it is difficult to make a difference on the side, even if he passes a few good balls, Ferguson thinks Crouch will also have a hard time getting his hands on it.

As soon as the mood was good, Ferguson's super hair dryer began to blow the wind on the players again.

"Boys, this is Anfield, are you scared? Well, I see it, you don't, you're not intimidated by the opponent's 30-game unbeaten streak here, 15 games in a row, you're full of courage, it's good, we don't need to be afraid of them, we're the Red Devils, we've won eight league titles, one Champions League, they've just won a Champions League, why should we be afraid of them? Although they are chasing very hard now, the reason why Liverpool have not won the title for so many years is because they are used to the second half of the collapse, and I believe that if we beat them in this game, they will definitely turn their attention to the Champions League again. The children! It's time to fight, and as long as we can get over it, the championship this season is basically ours. Step up your game! Hang on! I'll be watching you from the sidelines and cheering you on! Let's go, Red Devils! ”
