Chapter 669: Manchester man and Scousers

If England also has a so-called "national derby", then the confrontation between Liverpool and Manchester United should be a national derby.As the two most successful teams in England, the feud between these two teams has been forged a long time ago.

But the enmity between them is not because they are the most successful teams, and they can't tolerate each other being better and better than themselves, at least it's not just that...

The hatred of the two teams must mention the hatred of the two cities - in the football world, the hatred is always related to hell.Even if it is not in the football world, all kinds of regional discrimination are always common, and it is not just a Chinese patent.In China, BJ Guoan and Shanghai Shenhua, BJ Guoan and Tianjin Teda, Sichuan Quanxing and Chongqing Lifan, the fans of these teams are hostile to each other, which is related to their hellish hatred.

In Italy, people in the north look down on people in the south, so the teams from the south and the teams from the north are always in fierce rivalries.The same is true in England.

The hatred between Liverpool and Manchester United must start from the hatred between the two cities. This hatred began to appear more than 200 years ago, sprouted and finally took root and grew into a towering tree.Before the Industrial Revolution, Liverpool was the most famous port city in the UK, and many maritime trades had to pass through Liverpool.Manchester was not well-known at the time.

Later, after the industrial revolution, Manchester, as an important industrial city, rose rapidly, but the raw materials they needed still had to be transshipped through the port of Liverpool.Although the two cities are only 35 miles apart, Liverpool is a hurdle that Manchester cannot get around.

One day, Liverpool unilaterally added a large amount of import duties to Manchester importers, causing dissatisfaction throughout Manchester.In order to deal with Liverpool, the way Manchester came up with was to dig an artificial canal ourselves.When the canal is completed, the fleet transporting raw materials can bypass Liverpool and go directly to Dida Manchester through the canal.

To this day, this characteristic of Manchester City - the canal and the boats on the canal - can be found on the crests of the rivals Manchester United and Manchester City in the same city.

Manchester doesn't have to look at Liverpool's face anymore, but the hatred between the people of the two cities does not end there.

Liverpool people have always looked down on Manchester people.The Liverpool people laughed at the Manchester people as blue-collar manufacturing workers, while they themselves were white-collar workers in transport and finance.There is a saying like this: "There's_the_Liverpool_gentleman_and_the_Manchester_man (Liverpool's gentleman and Manchester people)." Manchester people call Liverpool people "Scousers", which is the name of a kind of fried beef, because Liverpool used to eat this A kind of fried beef called "Scosers" for a living, has now become synonymous with Liverpool people. Except for Manchester people, other people say it is a neutral pronoun, and Liverpool's dialect will also be called "Scosers dialect". The dialect is difficult to understand.But it would be downright insulting for a Manchester man to say it.

Now the two cities are fighting to become the "Second City of Britain" and a new war has started...

As we all know, Liverpool and Everton are sworn rivals in the same city. They just played a derby. The atmosphere of that game left a deep impression on Chen Yingxiong.

But whether it is Liverpool fans or Everton fans, what they hate most is Manchester United.If you run into a Liverpool guy and you're not sure if it's a Liverpool fan or an Everton fan, one thing you can do for sure is to curse Manchester United.

This is because of the feud between Liverpool City and Manchester City.Wayne Rooney's transfer from Everton to Manchester United made many Everton fans very angry.

There is a saying-if there is no Manchester United, Liverpool and Everton should be two parallel lines.

The first confrontation between Liverpool and Manchester United was in October 1895, when Liverpool beat Manchester United 7:1, but in the second round a month later, Manchester United responded with a 5:2. The good show I won was officially staged.

The glory of the two teams can be divided by age. The 60s and 80s were the glorious moments of Manchester United.The next seven 90s belonged to Liverpool, and from the [-]s to the present, it has basically been dominated by Manchester United.

In terms of honors, Liverpool has won more Champions League titles.They have long claimed to be England's most successful team, while Manchester United say they are an icon of England, having surpassed Liverpool with [-] top-flight titles after winning the Premier League title last season. , becoming the team that has won the most top league titles in England.

When Liverpool fans saw Manchester United fans, they always put up four fingers and shouted: "We have four!" After the night in Istanbul, they turned into a straight slap and shouted: "We have four!" Five!" It's all about the Champions League, Liverpool's five, the most in England.Manchester United has only three times, two less than Liverpool.

United fans responded by sticking up ten fingers at the sight of Liverpool - meaning they had won ten Premier League titles.But now ten fingers are not enough. Manchester United has won [-] Premier League titles.And Liverpool haven't won a Premier League title yet...

When facing Manchester United at Anfield, the stands were full of provocative Manchester United banners.It's a pity that Old Trafford banned the flags a few years ago. If the flags are not banned, all kinds of flags that provoke Liverpool will be indispensable.

What really made the two families the mortal enemies of mortal enemies was the tragedies of both sides.After Manchester United's Munich air crash, some radical Liverpool fans laughed at the tragedy, and made up a lot of songs mocking the tragedy and sang it during the match between the two sides! In the 80s, the Hillsborough tragedy also happened in Liverpool. In retaliation, some radical Manchester United fans responded with an eye for an eye...

This made the relationship between the two parties more and more rigid and worse.

There's one more thing that goes a long way to explaining how badly the feud between the two teams has gotten.

Even for rivals such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​AC Milan and Inter Milan, there are often situations where players are traded with each other.But there has been no direct player deal between Manchester United and Liverpool for 47 years.When Heinze and Ferguson had a falling out and wanted to transfer, the Argentine, who didn't have a clear understanding of the hatred between Liverpool and Manchester United, directly stated that he would go to Liverpool, but was scolded by Manchester United fans.

At that time, Liverpool's head coach, the Spaniard Benitez, didn't know if he really didn't know that the two teams hadn't transferred players for more than 40 years, or he was deliberately disgusting Manchester United, and he actually made an offer to Manchester United...Of course. , This offer was rejected by Manchester United without hesitation.Ferguson said the best way to deal with an offer like this was to throw it under the bed, and that's exactly what he did.

In the end, Heinze was sold to Real Madrid by Manchester United, and the Argentine failed to become Liverpool in the end.His relationship with Manchester United has also completely broken down.The tradition of long-term incompatibility between Liverpool and Manchester United continues...

This may be the most obvious and exaggerated hostile relationship among the teams that Chen Yingxiong joined.

St. Petersburg and Moscow also have animosity within Russia, and both sides look down on each other.But the hatred between the two teams is not so deep, it is more of a sports competition.Even if the hatred between Naples and the top three in northern Italy is so deep, mixed with political and economic factors, it hasn't stopped the transfer transaction between the two parties, right?

Manchester United and Liverpool have really done it, and they have persisted for so long.I have to say that England, as the birthplace of modern football, does have a lot of things, and they do it deeper than other places-love deeper, hate deeper...

Chen Yingxiong knows that Liverpool and Manchester United are hostile, but he doesn't know the extent of the hostility, and he doesn't know much about the story behind the hostility—he is a player, he just plays football, and he doesn't know many things. concerned.

In fact, even if he knew, it probably wouldn't be a big deal, the ball will still be kicked, and the game will still be won.Anyway, no matter who the opponent is, he must pursue victory.

In China, however, some Manchester United fans expressed great anger at Chen Yingxiong's transfer to Liverpool. Some even burned Chen Yingxiong's jersey and poster in Naples, and made a video and posted it on the Internet to vent their dissatisfaction. .

But their approach has been ridiculed and criticized by many people.Because there is such a big hatred between Liverpool and Manchester United, it is related to their local history, politics, economy, and culture.For the Chinese, it's just watching the excitement. Manchester United fans are unhappy with Liverpool, or Liverpool fans are unhappy with Manchester United. Burning Chen Yingxiong's jersey is going too far.

Could it be that their compatriots, the players who have brought them countless joys and passions, are not as important to them as they are in foreign countries. In fact, they have nothing to do with them, and there is no team that overlaps?
The home game between Liverpool and Manchester United has not yet started. On the Chinese Internet, Manchester United fans and Liverpool fans have already started a war. Before the eighteenth generation... For a moment, bricks and saliva flew everywhere. Greetings like "fuck your mother" and "I fucked your mother to give birth to you" are endless, and the flames of war have spread from fan forums to QQ groups, sports news message boards, and various microblogs and blogs... The scene was spectacular.

But for Chinese fans, this is nothing new, not only Manchester United and Liverpool have such a big hatred, Real Madrid fans and Barcelona fans, Inter Milan fans and AC Milan fans, Brazil fans and Argentina fans, Germany Fans and England fans, Italian fans and England fans, Spanish fans and German fans... as long as there is a dispute between sects, any two sides can quarrel with each other, scolding each other, multi-party melee, mixed cursing between men and women... those frequent curses way to fully refute the rumors that we Chinese lack imagination and innovation!

Football game commentators, football journalists and editors, and football novel authors are the groups most likely to be shot while lying down.You praise a team in games, in the news, and in novels, and the fans of their rivals must be included in the ranks of fans of the team you praised.If you dare to criticize a team, then you are finished, you will definitely be scolded by the fans of this team as a pig and a dog... It is said that there is a football novelist, just because of scolding people on the forum, In the end, the other party got involved in a sex incident with his wife. Although it was fake, and they used the screenshots from the selfie videos in Caoliu as fakes, it really deceived many people...

Look, just because the teams supported by the two sides are different, some people can even make some people do things that violate the law and morals by creating false appearances, slandering and insulting other people's wives and family members, and they are complacent and proud instead of ashamed.

It has to be said that the fanaticism of our Chinese giants fans is probably comparable to the real foreign fans. The level of Chinese football is far from being in line with the world, but the Chinese football fans Fanaticism, I'm afraid it has already connected with the world...

Chen Yingxiong is not very clear about the century-old grievances between Liverpool and Manchester United. These are two rival fans. Has he not experienced similar games?

What made him feel the hatred between Liverpool and Manchester United was different from the first two teams he played for. Since the players returned to the club one after another and began to prepare for the game against Manchester United, the atmosphere in the team changed suddenly.

Injured Gerrard began to seize the time for recovery training, hoping to catch up with the game.

Vice-captain Carragher scolded Manchester United's players and the team more than once in the locker room as sons of bitches - they were teammates in the national team, but in the national team they can laugh away their grievances, that is Because everyone is going to fight for England.Now that they are in their respective clubs, they are naturally their own masters. This hatred is completely aimed at Manchester United, not a certain person.Many professional players are very proficient at switching to this kind of hatred posture-although Real Madrid and Barcelona have repeatedly escalated their hatred over the past year, the players of the two teams still have to fight side by side when they enter the Spanish national team.Barcelona's players were bullied by their opponents in the national team game, and Real Madrid's players will also stand up for them.

In addition to the tense air in the locker room, the air on the training ground is also full of the atmosphere of "the rain is about to come and the wind is full of the building".

The head coach Dalglish has a dignified face, and the amount of training has obviously increased. The coaches of the coaching staff are shouting and roaring more and more during training. It must be Dalglish's angry questioning and extremely exaggerated body language-people who don't understand may think that the "king" is going to beat this player...

There were also more fans and reporters gathered around Melwood to watch training and interviews.Fans chanted various anti-United chants.The reporters are most concerned about whether Gerrard, the soul of Liverpool's team, can play in such an important game.Can Chen Yingxiong continue his goals? The two-week suspension of the league will affect Chen Yingxiong's scoring feeling. The last time he failed to score in two consecutive rounds after the national team match day, led to Liverpool's losing streak Two games, Dalglish's voice was loud for a while...

Chen Yingxiong didn't feel these feelings when he was in Zenit St. Petersburg and Naples, or he didn't feel as deeply as he does now.

A reporter interviewed him and asked him what he thought of the battle with Manchester United.

His answer has his own style: "I don't care who my opponent is, I will beat them anyway."
