Chapter 20 Red Derby
However, although the strength of the two teams is not very different, and Liverpool's game is also very difficult, the Reds still won Tottenham Hotspur with Suarez's goal in the first half, 1-0.
So far, after six rounds, Liverpool won three consecutive victories, and unconsciously climbed to the fifth place in the table.
At the top of the list is the Lanxiang Technical School, which has been in an extremely tough state since the beginning of this season. So far, after 6 rounds of the league, Chelsea has 5 wins and 1 draw, and has not lost in the new season.
----------
After playing Tottenham Hotspur, the whole Red Army flew up and down and rushed back to Liverpool overnight.
The next morning, Li Yi came to the training ground early to train alone as usual.
But what Li Yi couldn't figure out was that there was less than 8:30, and there was still more than an hour before the normal training time. All the Liverpool players, including Balotheli, including head coach Rogers, had reached the training ground.
Moreover, there is no need for coach Rogers to say anything more. Everyone is busy as usual.
He stared at his busy teammates for a long time. Li Yi, who was slow to react, finally realized why this happened.
Sometimes, some games don't need to be mobilized. Coincidentally, Liverpool has such a game this weekend, an England national derby against the Red Devils Manchester United! Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that teammates will have such an attitude!
--------
Liverpool vs Manchester United!
Every time fans see these two names put together, there is always a feeling of blood! This is the true meaning of the English derby. In world football, this is also the most famous red derby!
As long as you carefully study the history of English football, you will naturally know that there are countless Premier League teams and strong teams, but only Manchester United and Liverpool are the two real bosses. These two clubs are much more successful than all other clubs. When it comes to honors, trophies, reputation and international influence, Manchester United and Liverpool are the absolute leaders in the field of British Three Islands football and two real peaks. Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Nottingham Forest, Leeds and other giants, upstarts or unsolds are floating clouds in front of these two teams.
Also located in the northwest of England, Liverpool and Manchester, only 30 kilometers apart, are two important pillars of English football. As the most outstanding representative of these two cities, the feud between Liverpool and Manchester United began a hundred years ago.
As the godfather of the Red Devils, Ferguson has so far believed that his greatest contribution since coaching Manchester United is not to win the unprecedented Triple Crown, but to "get the fucking Liverpool completely out of the throne". Ferguson once said, "If there is no champion, then defeating Liverpool is my greatest achievement."
In return, Gerrard, the soul of the Red Army, also publicly told the media that when he was a child, he was beaten by his father for wearing a Manchester United jersey and did not let him enter the door. Liverpool's hatred for Manchester United can be seen.
Speaking of which, the last direct transfer of players between the two teams dates back to 1964, 42 years ago, when a player named Heathnar joined Liverpool from Manchester United for 25,000 pounds. Since then, modern football has experienced rapid development and frequent movement of players for decades, but between the two teams Hatred makes no Manchester United or Liverpool player dare to take a step over the thunderbolt.
......
Taking back the eyes of his teammates, Li Yi gently bent the corners of his mouth, showing a smile that was difficult for outsiders to understand.
In fact, he was thinking, if this group of animals can be so conscious and work so hard before every game, who will Liverpool be afraid of?
Of course, Li Yi also knew that his idea was a little unrealistic. To clean up his mood, Li Yi soon joined the army of hard training.
------
Time flies. In the hot preparation of the Red Army, September 23 came quietly.
"Jack, pull me tight, there are too many people! If you get lost, just cry." Pretending to be fierce and scared Jack beside him, Baker led Jack helplessly and squeezed towards the entrance of Anfield.
Baker had already made plans today, that is, to have a romantic time with a hot girl he met a few days ago, and then find a hotel with no one to discuss the structure of human nature. Who knows, everything turned into nothing because of Li Yi's phone call last night. If he asked Baker now what he regretted most, Baker would definitely pat his chest and say that he didn't turn off his mobile phone last night.
Well, Baker's depression. As a child, Jack doesn't know. Even if he knows, at Jack's age, he doesn't know how to respond.
So, after going out with Baker in the morning, he thought that he could go to Anfield to watch how the Red Army slaughtered Manchester United. Jack kept dancing all the way, and Baker was miserable.
But what made Baker suffer more was that after they arrived at Anfield, the scene was crowded - blocked!
The game only started in the evening. The two of them had lunch early and went out at 12 o'clock. They arrived at Anfield before 2 o'clock. Baker wanted to come so early, maybe because they couldn't find anything to do. They were bored all afternoon. Who knows, not to mention bored, can they squeeze the goal at the beginning of the game now? You have to put a big question mark on the field!
Speaking of which, there is also a reason - with the depravity of the past few years, the red derby between Liverpool and Manchester United has a trend of decline. Although Liverpool's home court will still be full during the game, the Red Army fans who entered the scene at that time, to be honest, are really uncertain. After all, the gap in strength with the other party, if you don't want to admit it, it also exists.
This year is different. With the comprehensive blood change in summer, especially the arrival of Li Yi, it is like giving the fans a strong shot in their hearts. Now they are very confident of defeating Manchester United at home.
So, today, whether there are tickets or no tickets, they all come around the court early to wave the flag and shout for the upcoming game!
......
I've only seen traffic jams. The first time I met a traffic jam, I saw Baker squeezed for more than an hour. I and Jack were still standing still. I didn't have an inch of progress. I couldn't help but calculate, cleared my throat, pulled my throat and shouted, "Ah! Who dropped a hundred pounds!"
After roaring, Baker hurriedly prepared and rushed into the court with Jack at a speed of 100 meters and 20 seconds when the crowd bent down to find where to lose money.
Unfortunately, Baker, who thought he was very beautiful, unexpectedly, after he roared, there was not even a person around him who took care of him!
For a long time, a middle-aged fat man in a plus size Li Yi's jersey in the front row finally turned his head and looked at Baker with an idiotic look. Then he shook his head and turned back.
And our little Jack, when the middle-aged man turned around, hurriedly shook Beck's hand away, turned his little face aside, and put on an expression that I didn't know him!
Well, Baker's tragic discovery was that he was despised by children!
---------
After the last training to adapt to the venue and return to the locker room, Li Yi took out his mobile phone from the wardrobe and called Baker.
"How's Baker? Did you and Jack come in?
There was a moment of silence opposite the phone, and then Li Yi was surprised to hear a cry, "Arts! You gave me a good job! Come in? We are at least 500 meters away from the gate of the stadium!!!!!
"500 meters?" Li Yi, who had walked through the player's channel and entered the field smoothly, obviously could not understand Baker's sadness at this time. Therefore, after hearing the other party say that it is only 500 meters away from rice, Li Yi was still in the mood to joke, "Are you wrong? In such an important game today, I told you to go out early. You don't care. You just go out now!"
"Now???? I was already outside the court at noon!!!!"
Keep the mobile phone a little away from the eardrum. Li Yi is not a fool. After a little thought about it, he understood the key. He put the mobile phone microphone horizontally to his mouth and said quickly, "Good luck, Baker!" After that, he quickly hung up his mobile phone and no longer gave Baker any chance to vent his anger!

"Tianchao TV, Tianchao TV, hello, everyone, I am Duan Xuan. Today, Mr. Sun Liu and I will bring you a focus battle in this round of the Premier League, Liverpool's home game against Manchester United. Taking advantage of the players' appearance, let me first introduce the starting lineup of the two sides today.
"In terms of Manchester United, Ferguson's 4-2-3-1 formation is still his useful formation today.
goalkeeper De Gea, four defenders from left to right are left-back Evra, two central defender Evans, Rio Ferdinand, and right-back Rafael.
2 backs, Giggs and Carrick.
Nani on the left of the front court, Valencia on the right, and Shinji Kagawa in the front.
At the top is General Van Persie, the best scorer in the Premier League, who was introduced from Arsenal this season.
Let's take a look at Liverpool.
Rogers' main game is still in the 4-2-3-1 formation.
goalkeeper Adler, 4 defenders Pishchek, De Rossi, Thiago Silva, Glen Johnson.
2 backs, Li Yi and Gerrard.
On the left side of the front court is Suarez, and on the right is Royce, and the front waist card is at the front. It is not Balotelly, who is in a very hot state this season, but an unknown transfer to Liverpool with Li Yi!
For Rogers' practice, I believe that Balothely will definitely have a lot of emotions with him in the locker room! Haha!"
"Okay, players from both sides have entered. Let's enter this exciting game together..."
