Chapter 773 Battle of the Kings

When the national team match day ended and the league resumed, Manchester United won two consecutive victories. First, they reversed Wigan Athletic 3:1 away in the league. Yin Jun contributed a key goal to overtake the score; In the third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage against Copenhagen, Yin Jun sent an assist.

Yin Jun didn't care too much about not scoring in the Champions League for the first time this season, because he has already focused on the next game: Manchester United vs. Liverpool at home!
This is the first round of the Double Red Club this season!

As the two most important clubs in British football, every match between the two teams can be said to be sparks hitting the earth, and the attention is also full every time.Whether it is on or off the field, there are many topics.

Especially in its current state.

After Manchester United won the Premier League and the Champions League last season, the Red Devils' top league titles have reached 17, only one away from Liverpool's 18 top league titles; and the Champions League has even tied Liverpool.

After the start of this season, Manchester United has continued to triumph in the Premier League. Many Manchester United fans have shouted the slogan that they will completely take Liverpool to the throne of English football this season.

Although Manchester United has surpassed Liverpool in the total number of important championships, as long as they have not caught up with or even surpassed their opponents in terms of the two most important indicators-the number of top league titles and Champions League titles, it is said that Manchester United has passed. It is the number one wealthy family in England, and there is always some lack of confidence.

However, this season they really saw an opportunity!
Therefore, before the start of the game, the topic of the battle for kings between Manchester United and Liverpool has already been quarreling in the British Isles.

And today's double red meeting is regarded as a symbolic battle in this protracted battle of kings!
………………

在8轮英超联赛之后，曼联取得6胜2平，以不败战绩力压6胜1平1负的切尔西，排名英超积分榜第一。

而上赛季一度表现出色的利物浦，新赛季开始后却是表现失常，8轮联赛仅仅取得3胜2平3负，以11个积分排名联赛第11名。

If Liverpool misses again in this double-red meeting and loses away from home, then the point difference between them and Manchester United will expand to double digits, and they will announce their withdrawal from the league title competition at the beginning of the season.

However, the soldiers of both sides appeared very quiet before the game, and there was no war of words that the media wanted to see.

The home fans sang "This Is The One" by The Stone Roses as the teams entered the stadium.To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Bobby Charlton's debut for Manchester United.

Many celebrities from the two teams appeared before the game, including Liverpool's Roger Hunter, Ian Callahan and Tommy Smith.Ferguson also presented a commemorative trophy to Bobby Charlton.

Bobby Charlton presented a commemorative trophy to Scholes, who made his 500th appearance for Manchester United before the game.

In addition, this game is also Rooney's 100 official games played on behalf of Manchester United.This also means that the three best young people of Manchester United have played for the team more than 100 times!
Among them, Yin Jun, who was the first to join Manchester United, played the most games. Today is his 210th time representing Manchester United; followed by Ronaldo. The Portuguese who came to Manchester United a year later than Yin Jun has played 137 times on behalf of Manchester United. Finally, Rooney joined Manchester United in 2004. Rooney, who is about to celebrate his 21st birthday two days later, was officially promoted to Manchester United's [-]-game club today.

………………

After the start of the game, Liverpool launched a fierce offensive against Manchester United's goal. Every Liverpool player was full of fighting spirit, or murderous.

John Mortensen, who was responsible for the single-mouth commentary of the game, said: "Liverpool entered the game very quickly today. They let themselves into the game almost at the same time as the referee Ball blew the kick-off whistle. But think It's normal to think, Liverpool must have been preparing for this game for a long time, and they must be here today to end the shame of facing Manchester United's 11-game losing streak in the past four seasons!"

John Mortensen continued: "Since the 2002-2003 season, Liverpool have faced Manchester United 11 times in the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup third-tier battles, without a win, not even a draw. It is the worst record against Manchester United among all Premier League teams in the same period. This is absolutely an unacceptable shame for the traditional giants Liverpool!"

Speaking of this, John Mortensen laughed: "This is really...Liverpool needs to beat Manchester United to get rid of the knot. This kind of script has never happened in the past!"

"However, now all this has become a reality, because Manchester United has Yin." John Mortenson said seriously, and then laughed himself.

………………

Liverpool players may think that Manchester United really underestimated them because of Manchester United's performance before the game, but in fact Manchester United attaches great importance to this game.Ferguson specially arranged for the team's defensive and counterattack tactics in response to Liverpool's eagerness for revenge.

In fact, Manchester United really didn't want to create some illusions to make Liverpool think that they underestimated the enemy.

As a result, Manchester United's series of commemorative activities before the game were just routine operations, but they were understood by the Liverpool players as arrogance and underestimation of the enemy. After the game started, they angrily launched a fierce attack on Manchester United's goal, but they hit the iron plate.

The offensive was raging in the opening ten minutes, but they were not able to break through Manchester United's goal.

In this game, Benitez formed a formation of 433. The three forwards were Dirk Drivet in the center, Mark Gonzalez on the left, and Luis Garcia on the right.The strength of this striker combination is very average, the danger to Manchester United's defense is not great, and the offensive is also thunderous and rainy.

Driven worked very hard, and the only threat in Liverpool's attack in the past ten minutes came from him.But relying on him alone, the threat he can bring is limited enough.

After withstood Liverpool's three-axes attack in the opening game, Manchester United began to fight back.

Unlike Liverpool's offensive with a lot of thunder and little rain, Manchester United's counterattacks are not many, but they are very threatening.

No. In the 18th minute, Yin Jun passed the football obliquely to Rooney in the counterattack. After Rooney stopped the football with his body, he swung his foot and forced Liverpool goalkeeper Reina to make a wonderful save. The bottom line was dialed out.

"Rooney!! Beautiful and confident door!" John Mortensen shouted.
