Chapter 699 The Game Begins

Chapter 53 game starts

The game was played at five o'clock in the afternoon local time.

In order to please the fans in Asia, the FA often arranges some early games, for example, at [-]:[-] noon and [-]:[-] pm, and the Premier League will also arrange games.

However, in order to take care of fans from all over the world, as well as the viewing experience of local fans in England, for a focus match like the Double Red Club, it is usually scheduled to be held at five o'clock in the afternoon.

It was already hard to find an empty parking space in the parking lot outside Anfield after three o'clock in the afternoon. The sky was gloomy, but there was no rain. There was a cold wind in the sky, and a row of Liverpool flags planted on the roof of Anfield was blown by the cold wind It's going to be hunting.Despite the cool weather, the atmosphere around the stadium was quite warm, and the Liverpool fans were enthusiastic.

Around the city of Liverpool, Liverpool people carried the red team flag of Liverpool and sang the melody of "You'll Never Walk Alone", rushing towards Anfield from all directions.

Manchester United's bus is driving on the streets of Liverpool, and everywhere it goes, there are countless middle fingers.

The Liverpool man frantically pointed his middle finger at Manchester United's big red face and spat.

Manchester United players are used to this.England's teams are always full of various confrontations, and similar attacks and abuse of players have long been commonplace.They are doing their own things in the car, listening to music, closing their eyes, or looking out the window or something.The same is true for Li Qingshan. At this time, he is wearing earphones, holding a mobile phone, and his fingers are still tapping on the screen quickly. He is chatting happily with his girlfriend.Lovers in the passionate love period always wish to be in the gentle love words all the time.

Manchester United's bus drove into a dedicated channel amidst the roars of Liverpool fans and all kinds of abuse.There are a large number of security personnel here, except for the reporters, there is no fan, they can only point the middle finger at the bus outside and spit.

Every Manchester United player who got out of the car was "warmly welcomed" by Liverpool fans, but the Manchester United players didn't react much-they were used to this kind of scene.

The "welcome" that Li Qingshan enjoyed was extremely loud. The curses and roars outside seemed to lift the iron roof of Anfield, and all kinds of voices starting with "F" rang together.

The Liverpool people hope to use this method to interfere with Li Qingshan's game state as much as possible. After all, everyone knows that Li Qingshan is the biggest threat to Liverpool when they face Manchester United!
However, no matter how loud the Liverpool fans were, it had no effect on Li Qingshan—at this time, Li Qingshan was wearing earphones, listening to music and getting off the bus, following the members of the coaching staff towards the visiting team at Anfield What about the locker room?The hard-working performance of the Liverpool fans is destined to be a secret investment, and they have done useless work.

At this time, there was still an hour before the start of the game. After the players changed their equipment in the locker room, they were rushed out of the locker room by assistant coach Giggs like a sheep.

"You only have 10 minutes to warm up, hurry up!!"

Anfield is a sea of ​​red that is erupting with a violent tsunami at the moment-this is of course the red of Liverpool. Today, Manchester United is wearing a white away game uniform.

The first climax of the tsunami was when the players from both sides came out to warm up. The Liverpool fans first sent deafening cheers to the Liverpool players who came out first. Then when the Manchester United players came out of the channel, Anfield was immediately filled with sharp cheers. Harsh hissing.

This is Anfield, home to Liverpool.Here, Liverpool fans have an absolute advantage.

There were less than 2000 Manchester United fans who came to the away game-they were surrounded by about 100 security personnel in a corner of the stadium.At this time, it is difficult for them to compete with more than 6 Liverpool people on the scene.

The 100-odd security guards formed three rows just enough to separate the Manchester United fans from the Liverpool fans - if there wasn't enough security, who knows what would happen between the fans of two such rival teams .

"Players from both sides are warming up!!"

In a box at Anfield, Andy Gray said with a microphone.

This is really a luxurious box, in addition to the wide view, the equipment in the box can be said to be all-in-one.Large screen TV, soft lighting, air conditioning, soft leather sofa.

However, rather than in such a box, Andy Gray prefers to comment in the commentary seats in the stands-this Englishman is always relatively old-fashioned.

"Liverpool is in a good state recently. They have ushered in five consecutive victories in all competitions! Klopp's team has gradually found the feeling of winning this season. Now in the standings, Liverpool, like Manchester United, are both winning. By thirteen points, we are three points behind Manchester City at the top of the list." Andy Gray said, "However, there is another statistic that Klopp has to pay attention to, and that is that Liverpool have been double-killed by Manchester United twice in the league. It’s been a season. If we lose this game again, we will be defeated by Manchester United in 5 consecutive Premier League games. The last time Manchester United completed five consecutive kills against Liverpool in this competition dates back to the period from 2005/06 to 2007/08.”

"Hahahahaha! That's right, Liverpool always lose to us!" Another thick voice rang out. In the footage of Sky TV, it was the legendary Manchester United central defender Rio Ferdinand.

"Don't forget when Torres beat him up, Leo!" Another voice confronted each other, and the camera quickly switched to Carragher.

After a panoramic shot appeared, the fans who were watching the game on TV suddenly discovered that in this box, besides the commentator Andy Gray, there were four retired players that everyone was very familiar with: Rio Ferdinand, Jay Carragher, Paul Scholes, and another Liverpool legend, Jamie Redknapp!
"Hey, I'm talking about big data, do you know big data Jamie!" Ferdinand held up a piece of paper, "Look at the data, Manchester United has an overwhelming advantage in the Double Reds, with 48 games against Liverpool, the winning percentage reached 56%, and won 27 games, while Liverpool's wins were less than half of Manchester United's, only 13 times; among them, the Premier League completed double play in 8 seasons, while Liverpool's double play against Manchester United was only 4 times; it needs to be pointed out Interestingly, at Anfield, Liverpool did not have an advantage against Manchester United in the Premier League era. They only won 24 games in 8 games and lost 12 games. Manchester United is the only team in the Premier League era that can have a dominant record against Liverpool at home Team."

"The past statistics are meaningless!" Carragher said, "If the statistics are useful, then there is no need to play this game!"

Before the game even started, the respective legends of the two sides began to argue on TV.

The warm-up of the players ended quickly. Under the attention of many fans all over the world, the players of both sides quickly completed a series of pre-match procedures and stood in formation according to their respective positions.

The referee Oliver stared at the watch on his wrist, and then a whistle sounded. In the 2016-2017 season, the first round of the league double-red game officially began.
