Chapter 552 It’s Time to Win Against Manchester United
"rogue,"
"Stinking rogue."
"..."
After the training, Dong Fangzhuo checked QQ and received these words.
I did go a bit too far last night...
Then he replied: "I want to learn to play billiards tonight."
"you……"
"We are playing Liverpool this weekend, will you come to watch?"
"I can watch the game, but I won't teach you how to play billiards."
"..."
Liverpool, in 9 league rounds, lost one game to Chelsea and currently has the same points as Chelsea, ranking third in the league due to goal disadvantage.
Manchester United can be said to have encountered one of the strongest opponents, but even Liverpool fans have forgotten how many consecutive games they have lost to Manchester United. Liverpool is a strong team, but in recent years they have never even gotten a draw when they met Manchester United.
Sad.
It can be said that Ferguson's favorite opponent is Liverpool. Every time he plays Liverpool, he and Manchester United players are like a chicken.
Facing the weekend's old rival Liverpool, Ferguson was full of enthusiasm: "We played well and are full of confidence. We will get a clear victory."
"Although they have always given us points in recent years, we still have to be prepared." The outcome of the battle between the giants has a huge impact on the team's morale and confidence. Ferguson did not dare to be careless, but he did not forget to ridicule Liverpool.
Now Liverpool really can't hold their head high when facing Manchester United, so much so that Liverpool's local newspaper "Daily Mail" can only find some reasons for Liverpool to win against Manchester United instead of boasting about victory.
The Red Army has had its ups and downs over the years, playing well in the European competition, but has always been weak in the domestic competition. Benitez has been here for three years, and he still has not been able to give Liverpool the strength to compete for the championship in the league. Every year I can only be a junior three or a junior.
Although Liverpool's lineup has changed again this year, the players Benitez bought are not the top players no matter how you look at them. His biggest success this year is Dutch international Kuyt. Kuyt's goals in the Netherlands are Quite scary,
But under Liverpool, he, like previous Liverpool strikers, scored just like that.
However, Kuyt is full of confidence. After learning that he was in the lineup before the game, he said in an interview with the media that he will definitely be able to break through the gate guarded by Manchester United. He will definitely be able to end Liverpool's recent vicious cycle of losing against Manchester United. I don't know who he is. Where did you get the confidence...
Just as God really wanted to help Liverpool win against Manchester United, Rooney and Ronaldo, who originally returned to the lineup, made Ferguson frown. Rooney had a sudden cold and was first excluded from the lineup. Rooney had some problems with his thigh tendon because he performed too hard in training. After examination, Ferguson cautiously took him out of the lineup.
As a result, the lineup that Ferguson finally gave was exactly the same as the one that played against Sofia Levski in the Champions League.
Benitez was extremely happy at this time: "We are not Sofia Levski. Without Ronaldo and Rooney, Liverpool's hope of winning has greatly increased. We must do our best to win a first-class title at Old Trafford." A victory. What’s more, Ferdinand is not here either.”
Ferdinand has some back injuries, and during the same period of caution, Ferguson was not included in the squad.
Of course Benitez should be happy. Compared with the previous Manchester United team, today's Manchester United team is much weaker. "With Rooney and Ronaldo gone, Manchester United's frontcourt will not be much of a threat. We You can attack with confidence, and the defense will also reduce a lot of pressure.”
"It's time to win against Manchester United!"
Liverpool is indeed not Sofia Levski, they are too strong...
Even Lineker thinks so.
"Although they won 3:0 against Levski Sofia in the middle of the week, Levski Sofia and Liverpool are not on the same level. Manchester United must not take it lightly. Rooney and Ronaldo cannot play. It will be difficult for the two wingers who contain Liverpool. The impact is huge. Giggs and Rossi may not have the same effect in mid-week, especially Rossi. I am really worried..."
"But as the old saying goes, with the Manchester United captain on the field, anything is possible. The betting company's reaction is a bit strange. They still maintain the original handicap and water level, which shows that they continue to be optimistic about Manchester United winning at home."
"Liverpool's lineup is: 25-Reina; 3-Finnan, 4-Hyypia, 23-Carragher, 6-Riise; 14-Alonso, 22-Sissoko, 8-Gerrard, 11-Mark Gonzalez, 10-Luis Garcia; 18-Kuyt. Except for Kuyt, the other 10 people are still the main lineup of last season. Benitez’s team has changed a bit. Without changing the medicine, in fact, he and the media have the same idea. They all think that Liverpool’s problem is the striker. But I think Liverpool’s entire team has problems. There are problems in the striker, midfield and backcourt. The striker scores few goals. , because the midfield is not creative enough and the defense is unstable. Benitez’s teams are always half a step below the top level."
Lineker has never been optimistic about Liverpool. "In fact, I am still optimistic about Manchester United winning at home, and judging from the entire season, the combat effectiveness shown by Manchester United is more reassuring than Chelsea..."
"Benitez said before the game that he saw hope of winning against Manchester United, but I just want to say that that might just be a wish, a bit illusory."
The tone of today's game was a bit warmer. In the players' tunnel, the two sides were not as tense as before. Gerrard and Dong Fangzhuo nodded to each other.
Because today is a special day.
As the two teams entered the stadium, Old Trafford fans sang "This is the One" by the Stone Roses. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Bobby Charlton's first appearance for Manchester United, many famous players from both teams appeared before the game, including Liverpool's Roger Hunt, Ian Callaghan and Tommy Smith. Ferguson also presented a commemorative trophy to Bobby Charlton. Before the game, Bobby Charlton presented a commemorative trophy to Scholes, who made his 500th appearance for Manchester United.
The referee is Boll again. This guy only officiates the highlight of the Premier League every year. He is a proper star referee. However, Boll's law enforcement may not be recognized by the two teams. There are many controversial penalties in every game...
beep,
Bol's whistle sounded, and another game of the Double Red Club officially began.
Benitez stood in the command area, waving his hands, signaling his disciples to immediately attack the hinterland of Manchester United. It seemed that Manchester United was going to be eaten alive or dead today.
Ferguson sat on the coaching bench and watched the game quietly. He had long been accustomed to Benitez's Liverpool.
If they can't even win against Liverpool, what qualifications does Manchester United have to compete with Chelsea for the league title?
In his eyes, neither Liverpool nor Arsenal are rivals...
