Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 55 Two bowls of steaming chicken blood (more)

Anfield Stadium.

Crowds of people.

The sun is high in the sky.

In order to prevent the daily scoldings between fans of the two teams from becoming a big issue on match days, in recent years, the "Double Red Club" is usually held during lunch time.

And fans can't even smell the slightest bit of alcohol on their bodies.

The entrance to the stadium.

The fans of the two teams were clearly differentiated, creating a solemn atmosphere.

In their view, this game is no longer a simple league, but also represents a century-old grudge.

Liverpool and Manchester were once brotherly cities, and the development of the Industrial Revolution also brought them vigorous vitality.

But the construction of a new canal set them on opposite sides.

From gradual strangers to estrangement, from mutual ridicule to abuse, the conflict finally escalated and turned into hatred.

The establishment of the Football Association in 1863 marked the birth of modern football, and the hatred between the two cities was vented in this field.

The two clubs fight openly and covertly, and are even willing to risk their lives in order to bring down each other.

Players from both sides are also at odds with each other and frequently make extreme remarks in front of the media.

For example, Manchester United legend Neville once said: "I hate Liverpool, I hate Liverpool people, I hate everything about Liverpool."

And Liverpool legend Gerrard, who has long since left, once said: "In Liverpool, some people told us to hate everything about Manchester United."

This grudge naturally extends to the confrontation between fans.

People from Liverpool say that people from Manchester are blue-collar old-timers who only know how to work, and people from Manchester say that people from Liverpool are rough savages.

Various banners and posters were placed in the KOP stands.

"Walking the dog is a little harder than playing football for Manchester United!" 》

"The trash who only knows how to drive a bus!" 》

Manchester United fans crowded into the away stands, wearing "Beware of Slips" T-shirts and singing songs loudly.

"He slipped on his fucking splits!"

"He passed the ball to Demba Ba!"

Perhaps the hatred of the canal will be gradually forgotten over time, but another kind of hatred has been integrated into their bones.

At this time, the broadcast area was filled with commentators from various countries.

Among them, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu, who came from afar, were chatting in the live broadcast room.

"Friends in the audience, good afternoon."

"Today we are here at Anfield to broadcast for you the upcoming double red meeting in real time."

"The starting lineups of both teams have been released. Liverpool has arranged a 4-3-3 formation. The specific players are as follows."

"Goalkeeper:"

"This is Klopp's most used lineup this season, but judging from the game results, the effect is not very good."

"And Mane suffered a hamstring strain during the national team match and needs to be sidelined for 6 weeks."

"So today Coutinho will play on the left wing and Emre Can will guard the left wing of the midfield."

"Klopp has made the same attempt before, but the effect was not satisfactory. The front trident lacked the tacit understanding of simultaneous pressure in the past, and even fell into the dilemma of fighting independently on offense."

“Coupled with Liverpool’s lack of centre-forwards, when the game is deadlocked, it is difficult to break the situation through high balls.”

"."

Zhan Jun is actually very entangled. He is a die-hard Liverpool fan, but there is Chu Feng in the Manchester United team.

Don’t really know who to support?

"Looking at Manchester United's starting lineup again, Mourinho no longer uses three defenders, but returns to the safest 4-2-3-1."

"Goalkeeper:"

"Manchester United also has many injuries. Due to the injuries of Pogba, Fellaini and Bailly, it is equivalent to the team missing two absolute cores on the offensive and defensive ends."

"If Manchester United and Liverpool attack, it may be a disaster, so the main tactic should be defensive counterattack."

"Chinese youngster Chu Feng serves as the starting left winger, but what is surprising is that Mata was placed on the bench."

"Director Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhan Jun dropped the topic.

Zhang Lu smiled and explained, "Because there will be a lot of confrontation in today's game, no one can help Mata create space. It's better to use Ashley Young who is faster."

In such an atmosphere, players from both sides returned to the locker room to make final preparations.

What preparations?

Of course, it's a game of chicken. The head coaches of both teams are experts in the mental field, and they have all kinds of ways to boost their spirits at their fingertips.

"We have won 18 English top league championships, 8 English League Cup championships and 5 UEFA Champions League championships."

"What does this mean?"

"It means we are the best team in the world, bar none!"

Klopp's tone was full of fighting spirit and his hands were constantly waving.

After realizing that everyone's attention was focused on him, he continued to yell: "The best clubs have the best players, and you are the best players!"

“Isn’t Manchester United top of the table now?”

"Today is the 199th Double Red Meeting. Let us kill Manchester United and bring them down!"

"Let the Manchester United fans outside shut up and let the Liverpool fans cheer for us!"

"You have to play the same way you did last season."

"Press, defend, attack."

"Every move must be done with all your strength!"

"Remember, this is a war!"

As soon as Klopp finished speaking, a deafening roar suddenly erupted in the locker room. No player could remain calm in this situation.

At this time, the away locker room was not far away.

Mourinho knocked on the tactical board loudly, and the rich sound echoed in everyone's ears.

"If we defend with all our strength and still lose the game, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"That means we suffered a humiliating defeat!"

"It means that we are timid, flustered and lose our fighting spirit in front of a powerful enemy."

"I can put aside my pride and arrogance and claim to the outside world that it was all my fault and that my tactics were very bad."

"Many of them are waiting to see my jokes, and I can satisfy their perverted psychological needs."

"But these words are said to outsiders."

Mourinho looked around, his expression becoming more ferocious and terrifying: "You guys, please don't think that I am trying to comfort you with such extremely stupid words. Besides, you don't need such childish comfort."

"Manchester United and Liverpool played 198 games, Manchester United won 79 times and drew 54 times."

"What does this mean?"

"It shows that we are stronger than them. We are all brave warriors with tougher hearts!"

"Damian, you said you would work hard to win my trust. You did it in the Europa League final last season. Now continue to prove it to me!"

"Phil Jones, Ferdinand said you were a leech getting paid for nothing, aren't you going to respond?"

Every time Mourinho reaches out to a player, he throws out the most ruthless and indifferent words.

"Lukaku, if you can score today, you will create new history and become the first Manchester United player to score 8 goals in the first 8 Premier League games."

"."

Mourinho slowly moved his head, met the unavoidable gaze, and said simply: "Chu, I need you to break through and score goals."

"Let's win today's game!"

Chu Feng nodded vigorously when he heard this.

Then the locker room became quiet, but the anger in the hearts of the Manchester United players had been ignited, and they exuded a terrifying momentum.

A few minutes later.

At the reminder of the staff, the players from the two teams walked into the player tunnel.

Thanks to book friends "Bazhe Yaoyang", "Xiaoyu 123", and "qzhqwq" for their monthly votes.

Readers, I am really not a fool. This is all necessary preparation before the game. If the emotions are not stirred up, it will not be fun at all later, just like a running account of the battle report.

And this is a very important game, so I will focus on it.

This chapter is an extra update and will be updated as usual at noon and evening tomorrow.

Finally, thank you all for your support. Please wait until I finish writing the game suggestions. You can enjoy tonight's double red meeting first. I guess the score is 4-0.
