Chapter 146
In the visiting team's locker room at Anfield.
Su Fan and his team had just changed their equipment and were about to go out and line up in the player tunnel when head coach Ferguson suddenly walked in.
Then, he frowned and looked at every Manchester United player with a serious expression, and finally his eyes fell on the captain Su Fan:
"Kids, it's almost time to go on the field. Work hard and strive to win the game, then make great strides and win the championship in one fell swoop."
After that, he personally opened the door of the locker room, and then patted the shoulders of every player who left him, and whispered encouragement:
"Kids, good luck!"
When it was Su Fan's turn, Sir Alex Ferguson excitedly held him tightly with both hands, and then said excitedly:
"Su Fan... You are the top player that Manchester United trusts the most!"
"I can only win the German Cup. The responsibility of winning is handed over to you..."
Su Fan nodded thoughtfully, then smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Sir Ferguson."
"No matter how luxurious the opponent's lineup is, how strong the strength is, it makes no difference to me, I will go all out."
Ferguson was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and smiled:
"Su Fan, it seems that you have not fully understood what this competition means to the fans of the two teams and the two cities."
Then, he patiently explained that Liverpool and Manchester are only more than 50 kilometers apart, but because of the economic development caused by a canal, they have been fighting each other for hundreds of years.
In addition to the differences in their respective cultures and beliefs, the confrontation between the two cities has become more intense.
Although the "Red and White Rose" war in the Middle Ages will not be repeated, the opposing emotions will be presented in a new outlet.
Therefore, football, which is full of exciting collisions, confrontations and competitions, has become everyone's common choice.
"When the fans of the two cities pour the accumulated grievances and energy of a century into a competitive match, the passion and enthusiasm that erupt is unimaginable."
As he spoke, Ferguson walked side by side with Sufan to the player tunnel:
"I clearly remember that it was the autumn of November 1986."
"From the moment I officially coached Manchester United, I set Liverpool's 'eight championships in eleven years' as my goal."
Speaking of this, he smiled, and the nervous expression on his face eased a lot:
"So, when I responded to the media in 2008, I said, 'My greatest achievement in my life is to kick Liverpool off the throne. '"
"Until last season, we had won the 18th 'Barclays Cup' in the team's history, and used our strength to hit back at the opponent's words 'Let Manchester United win 18 championships before coming'!"
"But, as a coach, I have never been satisfied with this, and the players have never been satisfied, because 18 trophies can only be shoulder to shoulder. "
"Only by winning the 19th and 20th championships and leaving Liverpool far behind can we be the Premier League overlord!"
After saying that, he pointed to the trophies displayed in the player's channel, and his voice was a little serious:
"But!"
"They staged ' Istanbul Miracle', winning the Champions League. "
"And our Manchester United has been in a slump in the Champions League for the past ten years."
"Therefore, every Red Devils player and fan has grown a sharp thorn in their hearts after being severely suppressed by Liverpool."
"Until the summer of 2008, when Van der Sar saved Anelka's penalty, we once again stood on the top of Europe, and the "haze" lingering over the entire team was slightly dissipated."
"But as the most successful club in England, we can't stand Liverpool's victory, it's like we are being stepped on."
"Especially when both sides have the opportunity to get involved in the league championship, the fans of the two cities have become "dead enemies" that can never be changed!"
"So, the confrontation between the two teams on the green field, in addition to the "Double Red Meeting", was also given a resounding name that attracted worldwide attention..."
"England... National Derby! ! !"
Just then, the speakers at Anfield suddenly made a "buzzing" noise.
Soon, Liverpool's team song "You'll Never Walk Alone" was heard:
"When you go through a storm, hold your head high, don't be afraid of the darkness, at the end of the storm, there is a golden sky and the sweet song of the lark."
"Go through the wind, go through the rain, your dreams may be shattered, but move forward with the hope in your heart."
...
While the fans in the KOP stand sang loudly, they also shouted towards the player's channel:
"Kill Manchester United!"
"Kill Sofan!"
"Manchester United deserves to get out of here!""Get out!"
However, in stark contrast to the angry shouts of the fanatical home team fans, when the Liverpool players saw Su Fan in the passage, they all had confident smiles on their faces.
"Hey, Su Fan!"
Hongjun captain Gerrard came over with a smile:
"Amazing oriental boy, I have long wanted to meet you on the field, and today I finally see the real person!"
After that, he didn't care about the camera around him at all, and shook hands with Su Fan in a friendly manner, and then asked politely about the situation.
Afterwards, Liverpool's main players such as Suarez, Downing, and Jones also took the initiative to come over and greet Su Fan.
And Su Fan was not surprised by this, with a smile on his face, he gave a polite reply.
Firstly, he had just joined Manchester United for less than a year, and he was a Shenzhou person, so there was not much grudge between the two sides.
Therefore, there was no need to treat Rooney, Giggs, Valencia and other Red Devils veterans as incompatible as soon as they met, making the atmosphere tense.
Secondly, Gerrard and his team are now playing at home, and he is the captain of Manchester United. Taking the initiative to greet them not only reflects their demeanor, but also shows their ambition.
When the screen on the big screen of the stadium switched to the player tunnel.
The home team fans saw their familiar players, familiar leaders, and familiar opponents, and then cheered louder.
Just as the players of the two teams walked out of the player tunnel and officially entered the stadium, the excitement of the fans reached its peak.
Especially the Liverpool diehard fans in the KOP stand.
From the position of the stadium, all they could see were their team logos held high and banners full of slogans mocking their opponents.
Coupled with the deafening "Never say die" and "Kill Manchester United" rang out throughout the stadium, a strong sense of oppression came over them!
"Bang..."
At this time, the red smoke suddenly sprayed out by the cold fireworks instantly filled the stadium and lingered in front of the camera lens, creating a sense of déjà vu that a big battle was about to begin.
After seeing this scene, the Shenzhou fans who were watching the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV could not help but post a post and sigh:
"Here it comes! The world-renowned Premier League derby is finally here! "
"Looking at the strong dialogues in all leagues, the most favorite is the "Reds vs. Reds" match. Even the Spanish national derby between Barcelona and Real Madrid is much inferior in comparison!"
"For half a century, no matter whether there are superstars in the lineups of the two teams, as long as they play a game, there will inevitably be a tit-for-tat collision! Red cards, broken legs, conflicts, red cards, everywhere."
"The confrontation between Manchester United and Liverpool is recognized as the "first derby"! Today, I finally have the honor to see Su Shen represent the Chinese players and play in the world's most popular and most watched "No. 1 Derby"! "
"Come on Su Shen, come on! You must win the derby while protecting yourself! ! "
