Chapter 401 Premier League Butcher
"team leader."
Carragher called outside the door.
"Um."
"Just come."
Gerald responded, but he hadn't gotten up yet. He looked around, then took off his sneakers with confidence, and re-tightened the bandage on his right toe.
The toe is slightly injured, which is not a big problem, but he doesn't want the team doctor and Benitez to know. If they knew, Benitez would definitely not let him play.
Facing Manchester United, you will not play unless you are dead.
As a young man, he was competing with Manchester United. What's more, Liverpool has lost many consecutive games to Manchester United. Whether it is home or away, Liverpool has never defeated Manchester United.
He has not led Liverpool to victory since Owen left.
He was very unwilling...
After putting on his sneakers again, he stepped hard on the ground twice to make sure there were no problems before walking out of the away locker room.
"Let's go." Gerrard patted vice-captain Carragher on the shoulder.
At this time, the players of both teams had gathered at the entrance of the player tunnel, and he was the slowest.
"Be sure to keep an eye on him." Gerrard specifically told Carragher when he saw Dong Fangzhuo.
This is nonsense, doesn’t Carragher think so? He had the same thoughts as Manchester City's Dunn, Arsenal's Kolo Toure, and Chelsea's Terry. He wanted to press Dong Fangzhuo to the turf and rub him.
But, you have to have that opportunity...
After Gerald reached the same position as Dong Fangzhuo, his expression became very serious.
Even he couldn't remember how many times this was his first double red meeting.
The two people had a big fight of words before the game, but now both of them are staring ahead silently, not talking nonsense.
※※※※
"Martin, I bet you that Liverpool will lose this game."
Lineker was in high spirits;
Want to make a bet with Martin Taylor.
"Why, I remember the last time Andy Gray made a bet with you, and you beat him up. The whole of England knew about it. Do you have any objections to me now?"
Martin Taylor smiled and shared some old news about Lineker.
"Ha, if you don't tell me, I haven't seen him for a long time. That guy can only write columns for newspapers now. How pitiful..."
Before the camera cut to the live broadcast, the two of them were chatting about Andy Gray without restraint.
"Well, he doesn't even have to write a column now. The Chinese Embassy protested, so The Times stopped him."
"Oh, that's such a happy thing. He deserves such treatment. I really hope I can meet him under an overpass that day and give him a few shillings..."
"Ahem, okay, now, let's take a look at what will happen in the 169th Double Red Cross."
"Liverpool has won 11 of the last 12 league games, and Benitez only replaced Morientes with Cisse. In the previous 169 encounters between the two sides, Manchester United had a slight advantage with 67 wins, 50 draws and 52 losses..."
"Hey, England coach Eriksson, who has been in a turmoil recently, also came to Old Trafford to watch the game. This old guy is ready to get out of class. I am not optimistic about his future in England."
Seeing Ericsson in the camera, Martin Taylor fucked him again...
"Fletcher,"
"Smith,"
"..."
"Rooney,"
"Lo,"
"Dong."
Along with the cheers at Old Trafford, the radio continued to broadcast the names of Manchester United players.
"Carrag,"
Call...
"Hypia,"
Call...
"Gerald."
Call...
The boos reached their peak when Gerrard's name was uttered. As the captain of Liverpool, he will definitely get more special treatment.
beep
Even the referee Riley couldn't wait and blew the whistle for the game.
Manchester United took the lead in attacking, and the ball quickly passed through the midfield. Then Evra, who came up with an assist, immediately passed the ball from the left, and a half-high ball bounced off the ground halfway.
Giggs inserted into the left corner of the penalty area, while Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo rushed into the penalty area at the same time.
Hyypia and Carragher stared at these two guys respectively. Riise, who played as the left back in this game, made a clearance and almost missed the ball. The ball barely kicked him out.
If Gerrard hadn't been focused enough and ran back into the penalty area to help, Riise might have made a big mistake.
Gerald immediately told Rise a few words, but his tone was very gentle.
Gerrard rarely yells, that's part of his character.
Soon, problems arose on Manchester United's side as well, and the young Pique also had a problem. The alert French forward Cisse met the ball from 25 yards on the left and fired angrily.
"Oh, Cisse is not accurate at all..."
His shot went wide into the near corner and rattled the billboard.
However, compared to Manchester United, with Spaniard Alonso in the backcourt, Liverpool's offensive organization is better. These people have been abused by Manchester United in the past two years, so there is no need to mobilize at all to beat Manchester United.
In the 8th minute, Alonso launched an attack in the backcourt. Kewell headed the ball from the middle of the midfield. Gerrard ran with the ball. Smith failed to keep up with Gerrard's speed. Gerrard ran 40 yards and then hit the ball on the right. Take a decisive step 25 yards down the road!
Swish
Van der Sar did not dare to be careless and made a sideways dive, but the ball slipped out of the goal.
Although Smith did not block Gerrard's shot, after Van der Sar took the baseline kick again, Smith and Kewell jumped up in the middle to fight for the top, raised their elbows, and Kewell fell down with his face covered.
Kewell's nose was hit and bled during the fight!
"Smith has become the villain of the game again. He should be given the Bad Guy Award in every game he plays. He definitely deserves it in every game! Maybe Park, Carrick and Scholes on the bench are all It gives him great motivation and he has to prove that he is Manchester United's most reliable midfielder."
After replacing the blood-stained jersey, the Australian could only play in the temporary No. 50 jersey. The attack rhythm of both sides is quite fast.
In the 11th minute, Rooney made a pass from the right, and Giggs' shot from the edge of the penalty area on the left was blocked by Finnan. In the 13th minute, Riise threw a throw-in from the left wing. Crouch's header was easily confiscated by Van der Sar.
Van der Sar took a big kick, and Smith headed the ball directly to Dong Fangzhuo. Dong Fangzhuo quickly chased back. He took a big step, and just received the ball with his left foot. Sissoko, the new Liverpool aid next to him, It came roaring.
boom
Sissoko took advantage of Dong Fangzhuo's unpreparedness and slammed into Dong Fangzhuo with all his body strength. He seized the opportunity very well and was unable to control the balance of his body while Dong Fangzhuo lifted his foot to unload the ball.
Dong Fangzhuo was knocked away.
The whole person turned sideways and leaned against the turf.
There was a squeak,
Dong Fangzhuo's entire left face rubbed against the turf...
"Phew, Sissoko, the real butcher of the Premier League!"
