As night fell, the nightlife of the whole Liverpool city began, but more Liverpudlians walked to Anfield, where tens of thousands of Liverpool teams were in their seats, cheering loudly and singing Liverpool's anthem, because it would not be long before Liverpool would face the challenge of Manchester United.

It was not only the fans who came to the scene, but also a lot of media, because the media knew that when Liverpool and Manchester United collided, it was destined to be a battle of life and death.

There are so many things to watch between the two teams, whether it is from the grievances of the teams or from the competition between the players, as long as the media is willing, then there are so many things to say.

The strikers of both teams, Owen and Ruud van Nistelrooy, are both prolific goalscorers, who is the best in the end. Giggs and Murphy, two famous Premier League wide players, who is more aggressive.

Keane and Hamann, the two backs, are also enemies, and I don't know what sparks will be sparked in such an important game. O'Shea and Hyypia, two tall and powerful drag-center defenders, who is better. At the same time, Dudek and Barthez are the two who can guard the last line of defense for their team.

All this is something that the media and the fans want to see, especially the media, who wish that the players on both sides would surprise themselves during the game, so that their reports tomorrow will have content.

In fact, not only the fans and media came to Anfield, but even the current head coach of the England national team, Keegan, was also on hand to watch the players play. Because the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan is about to start, Keegan is currently hoping to be able to observe the players up close, so as to bring the most suitable players into the national team and compete for England. (Keegan took over as head coach of the England national team in 2000)

After all, both teams are strong teams in the Premier League, and there are many excellent players in England in the team, such as Neville, Paul Scholes, David Beckham, Owen, and even Gerrard, who has been performing very well recently, has also entered Keegan's attention.

You must know that the national team in the whole world, I am afraid that the position of England coach is the most headache, obviously the strength is not the strongest, but the arrogant Englishman always thinks that his team is the first in the world, and the World Cup will definitely win the championship.

But every time England did not reach the final, which made the English people sad, but also very strict with the person who sat in the position of the national team manager, as long as the national team made the slightest mistake or lost, then whether it was the fans or the media, they would definitely launch a crazy attack on the manager.

Keegan also knows this very well, which is why Keegan came to Anfield to watch this heavyweight game in the Premier League. At the same time, the current Owen, David Beckham and Paul Scholes are all confirmed by Keegan and have come here to see how they have been doing lately.

At the same time, Neville and Gerrard, Keegan is also ready to see how the two fared today, and if he could, Keegan would also bring the two to the national team.

Of course, Keegan hasn't forgotten his apprentice George, knowing that many people throughout the city of Liverpool (Liverpool fans) are strongly urging George to join the national team and play for England.

Truth be told, Keegan also hopes that George will be able to make it to the national team and do well in the national team's competition. After all, George is Keegan's apprentice, and when George achieves good results, Keegan himself will have face as a master.

But considering that George is still young, he is also worried that even if George enters the national team and performs very badly, he is afraid that he will be abused by the media and fans. So Keegan doesn't necessarily have to be George into the national team, just keep an eye on it, in a word, if in such an important game today, as long as anyone plays well and performs well, then Keegan will consider bringing the other party into the national team.

The players of both teams were still listening to the manager's arrangement in the dressing room, but inside the stadium, tens of thousands of Liverpool fans could not wait to start singing the team's duet, as if they were constantly venting their emotions.

The dazzling fireworks were constantly thrown down from the stands by the fans, which immediately added a touch of madness to the already lively Anfield stadium, and the atmosphere of the scene had reached its peak before the game even started.

"Damn Manchester United have taken away all our honours, before others only knew that England had Liverpool, now everyone in the world only knows that England has Manchester United, can we accept this?"

In the locker room, Hollier asked loudly, perhaps because of excitement, Hollier's face was also flushed, and even George on the side was very worried about whether Hollier would faint because of this mouthful.

"It's unacceptable~ to kill the damn Manchester United." In fact, there is no need for Holliardo to say, Liverpool's players naturally do not have any good feelings for Manchester United.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's get ready. In short, the strength of Manchester United's players, I believe everyone knows it very well, I won't say more, what I want to remind you is that Manchester United's goalkeeper, the Frenchman Barthez is a well-known butter player, after all, here, I believe our attacking players know what to do! ”

"Haha!" With Houllier's words, the Liverpool players erupted in laughter.

Of course, Barthez is not a butter player, but this does not mean that Barthez is very poor, on the contrary, the main goalkeeper who can sit firmly in a giant team like Manchester United is undoubtedly strong.

You must know that Barthez joined Manchester United in 2000, and after a whole season, he only conceded 26 goals in 38 games, and from this point of view, you can see the strength of the bald goalkeeper Barthez.

Of course, when Barthez is in good shape, even if he must score, he will be unbelievably saved by Barthez, but when Barthez is not in good shape, there are often low-level mistakes and the most frequent drop-offs, so Barthez has the title of the ancestor of the butter hand. The reason for this title is not because Barthez was the first to drag his hands, but because Barthez often dragged his hands and most often.

"At the same time, the two wings of Manchester United, Ryan Giggs on the left and David Beckham on the right, everyone must pay attention, especially Carragher and Reese, the two of you have a lot of tasks to do, and compared to the opposing wings, our team is at a disadvantage. So I'm not asking you two to step forward to assist, I'm just asking you two to defend me against these two guys. Especially the sudden breakthrough and terrifying speed of Ryan Giggs, and the precise long pass of David Beckham. ”

Houllier looked at Carragher and Rieser and commanded.

Hearing the manager's words, Carragher and Reese didn't say anything, just nodded to indicate that they knew what to do.

"Of course, I don't mean that you are not allowed to step forward to assist, as long as you have the opportunity, you will boldly step forward, but pay attention to the two of you when you are forward, Hyypia and Henkez, you two have to fill the position of the two. Another thing to remember is that it's better not to foul at the edge of the penalty area, Manchester United's David Beckham's free-kick is absolutely world-class. ”

Hearing Houllier say this, Hyypia and Reese and several defenders all nodded fiercely to indicate that they knew.
