Section 365 The Red Derby
After the first leg of the European competition was over, the English media was also jubilant. The four teams in this year's Champions League matches, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea, have performed very well, which naturally gives the British media reason to be happy.
After all, it's all too rare to have four teams doing well in the Champions League. Spain and Italy can't come up with four teams that can sing in the Champions League, but England's teams have played well, which naturally makes England proud.
Of course, when everyone has a game, Liverpool doesn't get much attention. Chelsea are the media favourites right now, and their games are the focus of the media.
Jose Mourinho arrived at Chelsea after last year's Champions League defeat and has led Chelsea to good results this season, clinging to the top of the Arsenal table and not letting up in the back. This season's Manchester United performance is not as good as before because of the problem of renewal, and the second-tier teams led by Liverpool are not competitive, and many people believe that the championship will be produced between Mourinho and Arsenal, and the media's attention to these two teams is naturally great.
But while the names of Liverpool and Manchester United are not as popular as they used to be, they are still all over the UK at this time. Because the next game is a red derby at Old Trafford.
The direct dialogue between Liverpool and Manchester United is always a topic of attention. Although the two teams, now 12th in the league and 8th in the league, have opened up a gap of as many as seven points with the top team in less than five games, the battle between the two oldest teams in England is still the focus of attention.
After all, they are still the strongest contenders for Champions League qualification, and Liverpool and Manchester United are both playing one less game because of the Champions League qualification problem, and it is not impossible for them to catch up.
And there was a lot to watch in this game: Rio Ferdinand finally made his comeback last season after being banned for eight months for refusing to take a drug test. And Ryan Giggs will also complete his 600th game for Manchester United in this game.
On the Liverpool side, this is Zhao Yaning's first away game since his transfer to Liverpool. And having to face a team like Manchester United in the first game has also made the media very interested in what his performance will be like.
The last time he spoke up to Ferguson, Ferguson didn't say anything more. But I don't know if it's because he was sprayed by Ferguson or because he is competitive, Xiao Xiaoluo expressed his determination to the media, "The Golden Ball Awards or something are judged by the media, and they are compared to their performance in the game, and that is what really matters." β
This is very arrogant, but in fact, there is also a suspicion of relying on Manchester United's good lineup to bully Liverpool's lineup. But what made Xiao Xiaoluo even more angry was that the media quickly found the record of the two people, and the Chinese team defeated the Portuguese team 3-0 in the Olympic Games, which was the only time the two people met each other......
"Cristiano may have been dizzy, and he felt that in a game where he lost 3-0, his performance was the more eye-catching. And it is more important to note that it was Portugal that lost to China! If you take Portugal to play against China, you can lose, does Cristiano really think that his performance is better than Zhao Yaning? β
The statement in the newspaper made Xiao Xiaoluo scold. The Portuguese team has lost three games and three times in the Olympic Games, and it is obvious from individuals that they are aiming for a loss at all. What kind of ability is it to talk about such a game?
If you have the ability to watch this game, see if I play well!
And when he was angry, Zhao Yaning also smiled at such words.
"Just watch the game, what's the big deal? He said this as if he didn't watch the game for the Golden Globe Awards. β
Zhao Yaning believes in his own strength, compared to Xiao Xiaoluo, his skills are better, he runs harder, his speed is faster, and his overall situation and coordination ability are not bad at all. In that case, why should I care about what he says?
It's true that you're a genius, but the jade that hasn't been cut open is just a stone egg. Since you're going to have to share your rivalry with me, let's have a good timeβ
It's hard to watch a game at Old Trafford.
While Babe was sitting in the stands, he was still complaining about the difficulty of entering the court. Before I came, I had heard that it would be crowded, and I had already calculated the time to go out, but in the end, I almost didn't get into the stadium. It didn't matter if it rained on the road, and there was also a fan parade, which was a troublesome day.
When I watched the game in France last year, it wasn't so troublesome. England and France are really two different places......
Looking at this famous stadium, Bei Bei felt a little indescribable excitement in his heart.
It's been a long time since she came to the UK, but she lives in London as well. It's a bit far from Liverpool, but it's okay to go from time to time.
But Bebe is not interested in going to Liverpool. There is news of Alyselle in the tabloids, she knows that Zhao Yaning is a father, which also makes her feel that she is getting farther and farther away from Zhao Yaning. She thought that after she fell to the UK, Zhao Yaning would return to her, but now, with the birth of a child, she has no confidence.
Let it be. That's all she can think.
And although she didn't want to see Zhao Yaning, she became more interested in football. But after arriving in the UK, she never went to the scene to watch the game. After all, she is still a person who doesn't like to be noisy very much, and she doesn't like the noisy stadium very much.
But in her university, there are quite a few people who watch football. Not to mention the British locals, even many international students like her are watching the game. What surprised her was that most of the clubs supported by these international students were not Liverpool, but Chelsea.
"If you want to support our own compatriots, you can see Liverpool or Manchester City, and if you want to see beautiful football, you can see Arsenal. Chelsea, what's there to see? β
"Because they're strong."
The answer was the same.
If you like the culture of the club, then it's a reason. But they are strong...... Where in the world is there a team that has been thriving for a long time? There are more century-old giants, but which one has more than 30 champions? What if the team is not strong in a few years? As the British newspapers say, look at which team has the nouveau riche owner and then be a glorious transfer fan?
Of course, there were also those who gave a different answer, "The Chelsea coach is very handsome. β
This statement, Bei Bei just pouted. A forty-year-old man, how many years can he be handsome?
In order to prove that she is different from this group of pseudo-fans, she decided to find a few games and go to the scene to watch the ball.
It's just that when it came time to pick a game, she was still a little hesitant, should it be better to watch Arsenal's game or Liverpool? Liverpool have Ningzi, but Arsenal are much better-looking.
Ever since Bebe began to understand football, this distress has haunted her. Everyone likes to watch a good football game, and Bei Bei is impressed by Zhao Yaning's football philosophy, and naturally appreciates Arsenal's smooth attack. Liverpool's football is counter-attacking football, and it really has no viewing value.
After thinking about it, Bei Bei made up his mind to watch a Liverpool game, and if it was good, he would watch it later. Otherwise, it's better to watch Arsenal play closely.
It is not necessary for his life to revolve around him.
And it was this red derby that she chosen.
It wasn't until she was in the audience that she felt out of place with the people around her. These people are all wearing red uniforms, the atmosphere is high, only they are dressed in casual clothes, and the surrounding environment is inevitably too different......
"Little girl!" When she was still dazed, she was already stopped.
She was stopped by a middle-aged man who looked like he was supposed to be the leader of a fan organization. This man is tall and fat, but he looks quite kind, "Liverpool fans? β
Bei Bei nodded knowingly.
"Chinese?" The person on the other side had already seen her appearance clearly, "Look at Zhao Yaning?" β
Bei Bei nodded again. This made the middle-aged man sit down next to her, "Ha, that's good, it's okay not to make trouble." My name is Oliver Smith and I'm glad I am...... Drink beer? β
Bei Bei shook her head, "Just call me Bei Bei." Bei Bei didn't bother to come up with an English name, she used her own name everywhere she went.
"Your compatriot is a very good player." Oliver opened his mouth and continued, "Very good player, good technique, the kind of player Liverpool need. He's going to make a big difference, he's going to be able to grow into a superstar at Liverpool, a star like Michael! β
Babe was still just smiling, she was still not comfortable chatting with these avid fans in the UK.
'The players are on the pitch in a moment, come with us and cheer for the players. Shout loud together and help the team win this game. β
"Win the game?" Beibei was a little surprised, "This is an away game, and it is against Manchester United, do you think it is more likely to win?" β
'It's true that they're Manchester United and it's really an oldtoilet, but so what? We are Liverpool, who have we been afraid of? β
This practice of calling Old Trafford a toilet made Bebe laugh out loud.
"Come and cheer on your fellow man and shout louder so that he can hear you. Shout with us so the players can hear you. The more people there are, the more power we have, and let the players know that they can't walk alone on the field! βββ
It's a fact that local Liverpool fans call Old Trafford the toilet. Manchester United fans call Anfield unfinded, which is a name that contains insults. u(8) Update the fastest reading network
