Chapter 113: Demon Slaying (1)
With a score of 2:1, Liverpool suffered a defeat at the Turin Olympic Stadium and returned to Liverpool in disgrace. Although the outside media believe that Liverpool can score a valuable away goal at the home of the mighty Bianconeri, from another point of view, Liverpool did not lose, on the contrary, won against the Bianconeri.
But Liverpool players don't think so, football is a competitive sport, only win or lose, and a draw is a coward's luxury. So for the loss in the first half of the game, Liverpool still feels unwilling, but the game is over, no matter how dissatisfied the Liverpool players are, they can't do anything now, they can only wait quietly, waiting for the Bianconeri to come to Anfield Stadium in the next round of competition.
But the Liverpool players should not think too much, because in the weekend league game, Liverpool is about to welcome the Red Devils Manchester United, and Liverpool knows that the only team that can cause trouble for the Red Devils Manchester United is probably himself and Arsenal.
Therefore, Liverpool attaches great importance to this game, and if this game is lost, I am afraid that Liverpool will be further away from the title race this season. On the contrary, if Liverpool defeat the mighty Manchester United, Liverpool can regain the top spot in the table.
After the win over Manchester United, according to the schedule, among the remaining opponents, except for Arsenal, who can pose a threat to Liverpool, no other team can pose much of a threat to Liverpool.
Since Liverpool's goal is to win the English League, then Liverpool's two games against Manchester United and Arsenal must not only lose, or even as long as it is a draw, I am afraid it will have a huge impact on Liverpool's desire to win the championship.
In fact, not only Liverpool, but Manchester United are also fully prepared, after all, Manchester United's goal is also to win the title. Manchester United's worst enemy and rival. The same goes for Liverpool and Arsenal. In a game as important as Liverpool, even if Ferguson doesn't say it, Manchester United will definitely go all out.
With the league coming to an end, there are currently three teams in the first group, and every game has attracted the attention of many people around the world. Not to mention the strong dialogue between Liverpool and Manchester United. It has attracted a lot of attention. Because everyone knows that the match between Liverpool and Manchester United has a direct impact on the ownership of the English championship this season.
In this atmosphere, the Anfield Stadium, which can accommodate 45,000 fans, has exhausted nearly 60,000 fans, and all Liverpool fans are using their actions to show their support for the team, and it seems that this game will directly determine the final winner of the English championship this season.
"I'm sure you know that too. How important this game is, we have been fighting for most of the year, for what. For the sake of being the champion. I won't say much else, but you have to remember that this game will definitely affect the title of our game this season. Whether you want to get away with nothing or be Liverpool's hero is up to this game. ”
In the dressing room, Lao Bei said to the Liverpool player with a serious face. The Liverpool players also looked serious, and at the end, led by Hyypia, all shouted wildly: fight for the championship.
At the same time, the United pair was in the dressing room. Hair dryer Ferguson also took the characteristics of his hair dryer to the extreme. Growling at the Manchester United players.
'You all know how important this game is for us at Manchester United. If you still want to win the title, then you have to give it your all in today's race. Everyone says that Liverpool have two young and excellent strikers, Michael and George, which means that Liverpool is revived, ready to beat Manchester United again, reclaim the Red Devil title and become the dominant land in England. But I want to say it's all shit, we are invincible at Manchester United. Teach the Liverpool savages a lesson, boys. ”
"Kill Liverpool!" With Ferguson's words, all the Manchester United players got up from their seats excitedly, and roared with hideous faces one by one.
But not everyone is the same, David Beckham sat in the corner at this time, coldly watching Ferguson constantly puffing up for the team, seeing this scene, Beckham couldn't help pouting, very unhappy. During this period, Beckham's life at Manchester United became more and more difficult, especially the flying shoe incident in March, which made the relationship between Beckham and manager Alex Ferguson directly public.
If Beckham still had something to look forward to before, hoping to impress Ferguson's heart with his own efforts and reconcile with Ferguson, but at this time Beckham didn't even have this idea at all.
Now I can't even play, what else is there to talk about, Beckham is also an arrogant person, and when he saw that the conflict with Ferguson reached the point of irreconcilability, Beckham had completely given up the idea of reconciling with Ferguson. At this time, Beckham just wants to wait for the league to end, wait for the transfer market to reopen, and then transfer away from Manchester United and away from the tyrant of Alex Ferguson.
"Fans, welcome to Anfield, where the highlight of the game is coming up, Liverpool vs Manchester United. You must know that this game will directly affect the ownership of the English championship this season, which is also a very important game for both teams. After 90 minutes, everything will be revealed who will win and who will lose. Now, let's welcome the fighters on both sides with warm applause. ”
The moment the two teams stepped onto the Anfield Stadium, the entire Anfield stadium erupted in loud cheers. This time, due to the importance of this game, Manchester United fans were stunned to use up thousands of fans, which is undoubtedly a special phenomenon for a game that is not directly owned by the champions, but is still an away game.
When the two teams entered the stadium, the fans on both sides of Liverpool and Manchester United suddenly used their own way to create the atmosphere of this game into an atmosphere no less than that of a championship game.
George looked at Manchester United's players, and Beckham was not on the list at the moment, replacing Argentine Veron.
Finally, George saw David Beckham on the bench for Manchester United. Think of the flying shoe incident that caused a sensation in the whole of Britain some time ago. George understood. Beckham's fate with Manchester United has come to an end, and according to the exhibition of the previous life, after the end of this season, Manchester United's right-sided Tianzun will leave Manchester United and leave England. Go to La Liga and become a newcomer to the Galaxy Battleship.
Thinking of this, George couldn't help but fantasize about whether to let Old Beckham talk to Parry, or tell Grandpa Ham himself to buy Beckham to Liverpool. You must know that for a player like Beckham, no matter what team it is, it is absolutely needed. George believed. If Beckham really comes to Liverpool, then with Beckham's sharp assists, his own number of goals. It will increase a lot.
It was in George's YY mind that the game finally began. Less than four minutes into the game, Manchester United made a quick sneak attack and almost broke the door against Liverpool. Manchester United, who won the ball, bothered to pass the ball to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer when the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, and Solskjaer immediately passed the ball to Paul Scholes at the back, who then distributed the ball to Neville, who was cut in on the wing.
Neville didn't stick to the ball and passed it directly to the feet of Argentinian Veron. Although Veron is not as good in England as he was in Serie A, Veron is Veron after all. No one can despise Veron, who is known as a wizard.
A disguised addition broke through Reese, who had not yet fully entered the game. Veron ran wildly with the ball, and when he was about to reach the baseline. Only then did he cross the ball into the box.
Vanney held Yepes and didn't pay attention, and suddenly shook off Yepes's defense, jumped high to receive Veron's pass, and directed the ball fiercely.
Thankfully, Dudek's attention was always focused and he was ready to make a save when Ruud van Nistelrooy shook Yepes away. Despite the power of Van Nidey's header this time, Dudek still dragged the ball off the line. Otherwise, in such an important game, the game was led by the opponent's goal at the beginning, which was undoubtedly a major blow to the Liverpool players.
'The header was on goal, Odudek made another brilliant save, so dangerous, the Liverpool defenders should be up now.'
"Cheer up, cheer up." Dudek got up from the ground, bent over and clapped his hands vigorously, and said to his teammates. Although Ruud van Nistelrooy's header was dragged off the line, Dudek was still scared into a cold sweat. The game was so important that it put a lot of pressure on both players.
Veron's corner kick flew straight towards Ruud van Nistelrooy. Ruud van Nistelrooy jumped high, turned his back to the goal, and headed the ball to Scholes outside the box, but Scholes didn't have the slightest reason to get Vanney's header to cross it, and without making the slightest adjustment, he went straight to the goal.
However, Scholes's shot did not hold the ball down, the ball went directly above the goal and flew to the stands where the fans were behind the goal, which immediately caused panic among the fans, and where the ball was, all the fans stood up and scrambled for the ball.
"Oh my God, Scholes shot the goal, oh my God, is he like Arsenal's ice prince Bergkamp who hates planes so much, between shooting and **, the last choice**."
For Manchester United players, the commentator who is more inclined to Liverpool's side is naturally unceremonious, constantly sarcastically sneering Scholes, who shoots high. Not only the commentators, but also more than 60,000 Red Army fans also cooperated with the commentators' sarcasm and booed loudly.
"Damn, this place is still that annoying." Seeing the commentator sarcastically mocking himself, the Liverpool fans booed himself, and Scholes couldn't help but curse angrily.
"Forget it, I believe that Liverpool itself, no one likes it here." Keane, who was on the side, couldn't help but comfort Scholes when he heard Scholes's complaints.
Manchester United completed a dangerous shot on goal, and Liverpool were not to be outdone, not to mention that it was also Anfield, and in their home stadium, Liverpool were fearless.
Dudek played the ball to Rieser on the wing, who began to dribble towards the United half. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer rushed over to grab the ball, and Rieser changed direction to let Ole Gunnar Solskjaer go. Peron followed, and after Reese and Harman made a one-two, they managed to pass Veron.
Neville, the best line of defense, also rushed up at this time, and Reese once again made a one-two with Colwill on the side, passing Neville directly. Dribble directly with the ball and cross the ball.
Dribbling the ball directly from the back. A change of direction and a second two-over-one. Reese was stunned to complete a full-field run, which made the more than 60,000 Liverpool fans at the scene immediately addicted.
The ball flew quickly towards the United penalty area, and at this time, Ferdinand also looked serious. Stubbornly guarding George's side, constantly pushing George, trying to push George aside. Because of the defender's judgment, Ferdinand saw at first glance that Reese's pass was obviously looking for George.
Don't look for George to find anyone, do you want to find Owen, don't say that Owen is not good at heading, not to mention that Sylvester on the side is close to Owen and does not leave one step. Owen wants to head the ball on goal, and with Silvestre defending, I'm afraid it's really difficult.
In the face of Ferdinand's push. George didn't move, and at the same time kept pushing Ferdinand with both hands, so that Ferdinand didn't get too close to him, so that he could have a space to jump.
"Boom!" "Boom!" Two muffled sounds, knocking on everyone's hearts. The first shot was George grabbing a corner kick from Reeser and heading it home. The second sound was that Bart was crazy, and with his excellent reaction, he saved the ball with a header.
Yes, that's right, it's just pounced. George's header was held in Bart's arms. Liverpool didn't even have a corner kick at home.
"!" Seeing that Bart actually saved his header and hit the goal, he couldn't even give a chance for a corner kick. George couldn't help but curse, turned and retreated towards the backcourt.
"Damn, if this dead bald head can have such a good swing in every game, let me give him a raise, and I'm willing." Seeing that Bart saved George's header and didn't even give Liverpool a chance to take a corner, Ferguson couldn't help but think. But Ferguson seems to have forgotten that whether to give George a salary increase or not is not to calculate it himself, but to calculate it according to the boss.
"Actually, this dead bald head is also quite good, and the goalkeeping strength is also very strong, although sometimes people are a little confused, but it is still a world-class goalkeeper, it seems that I don't have to, let people go all over the world to find a suitable goalkeeper." Obviously, Bart's perfect save suddenly made Ferguson a little more confident in Bart, and even gave up the plan to change the goalkeeper all along.
However, Bart is Bart, and he will never change himself because of one or two wonderful saves, and Bart immediately used his actions to make Ferguson determined. According to Ferguson's words: Damn, I have to change, and if I let that dead bald head stay at Manchester United, I'm going to go crazy.
Bart got up from the ground and looked left and right, and there were no Liverpool players lying in ambush behind him, ready to grab the ball at any moment. Seeing this situation, Bart was also relieved, put the ball on the ground, waved his big hand, and signaled his teammates to press it hard, and he was ready to kick it away.
Seeing Bart's gesture, the Manchester United defenders did not suspect Bart, and walked towards the midfield one by one. And at this moment, Bart saw that it was almost there, and finally took a corner.
"Wow!" George, who was walking back, suddenly heard a huge commotion erupting from the entire stadium. Thinking of this, George couldn't help but turn his head and look at Bart, and George turned his head and just saw a ball flying towards him.
What is going on, seeing this situation, George was stunned, could it be that Bart was very unhappy when he saw that he had just hit the goal with a header and almost scored, and deliberately wanted to take revenge on himself and hit his head with a ball.
Although he thought so, George didn't stand stupidly in place, he saw the ball flying towards him, although he didn't understand why Bart drove so low, but at this time George was not allowed to think too much, he suddenly jumped up slightly, stopped the ball with his chest, flicked the ball with his foot, and began to rush towards the Manchester United goal.
At this time, Ferdinand and Silvestre, who were closest to George, were also five or six meters away, and at a distance of five or six meters, no matter how Ferdinand and Sylvester chased, they couldn't catch up with George, who was running wildly with the ball.
Ferdinand and Sylvestre struggled to catch up, but how could the two of them compare to George, the distance between the three was getting older and farther away, and George was already close to the penalty area at this time.
Seeing this situation, Bart couldn't help it, although he knew that he would die if he attacked, but Bart knew better that there might be a little chance to attack, although it was very slim, but at least there was still a little chance. But if you don't attack, then you don't have a chance at all.
Thinking of this, Bart no longer hesitated and began to rush towards George, who happened to enter the penalty area with the ball at this time.
