The sweeping army of the greenery

Chapter 55 The Double Red Meeting ([-])
After winning the championship last season with an unbeaten record, Arsenal continued to make great strides this season under the leadership of Mr. Wenger. They won five consecutive victories at the beginning of the season and created a new unbeaten record in the Premier League. .

And Chelsea's momentum is not weak at all. Abramovich continues to spend nearly [-] million pounds. Mourinho, who calls himself "the special one", does not seem to be weak. Chelsea have four wins and one draw followed closely by Arsenal. The opponents they defeated, including Manchester United.

Relatively speaking, Liverpool and Manchester United are like a pair of suffering brothers, there is really not much room for making mistakes!
Unlike Liverpool in the Champions League, Manchester United has just been tied 2:2 by Lyon, and they have less room for error!

It's just that compared to Liverpool, it seems that they have completed the transformation in time, and they are gearing up and watching. Manchester United is also constantly ushering in good news.

Rio Ferdinand, who was suspended for "forgetting the time of drug test", finally survived the eight-month suspension and officially returned. It seems that Manchester United will end the hard days of the defense full of holes.

And their sluggish front line seems to have ushered in the dawn. Sir Alex Ferguson spent 2700 million pounds to buy Wayne Rooney, and gradually got out of the trouble of "whoring".

Now their lineup is getting more and more neat, and there is no reason to fail. Winning at home is their only choice.

Previously, public opinion came to a conclusion for the poor record of the Red Devils: before all the main players return to the team, no results can reflect the true strength of Manchester United.

Although players such as Keane and Giggs strongly opposed this statement, they kept emphasizing that the incomplete lineup is not an excuse for the team to perform inaccurately.

But this conclusion is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Now Manchester United's lineup is considered neat, as long as they defeat them, they will definitely deal a great blow to them.

Thinking of this, Li Tiancheng's eyes sparkled.In the Premier League, no matter which team wants to win the championship, they must first kill Ferguson and his Manchester United. This is common sense.

However, Li Tiancheng is very clear that this is a double-edged sword.

There are only three substitute players on Liverpool's injury list, Smicer, Letalek and Nunez, and the two consecutive beautiful victories in the past week have shown the team's good condition.

In addition, many people know that the team's formation is basically stable, and everyone has full confidence in the team's current strength.

Once it fails, it will hit the team's confidence a lot.

This is Li Tiancheng's first time stepping into Old Trafford. Well, the scale is indeed bigger than Anfield.

It's a pity that the visiting team's dressing room is just as bad. It is said that this is also a fine tradition of the Premier League.

Despite the constant rain, the fans of both sides still almost filled the Old Trafford Stadium, nearly 8 people were full, which is really spectacular.

Regardless of the team's recent situation, the "Double Red Club" is one of the most important games of the year for fans of both sides!

This scene does not scare Li Tiancheng, after all, the scene of 10 people filling the Camp Nou has been seen many times.

Li Tiancheng was speechless looking at the curtain of water dripping in front of him—even though he had been in England for a long time, he still couldn't fully adapt to the weather, hell.

Players from both sides stood in silence, as did the fans and staff on the bench.

Legendary England coach Brian Clough just passed away during the day, and everyone mourned for him for a minute.

Although he is not familiar with this legendary coach, but hearing about his feats - leading Nottinghamson to win the Champions Cup twice, this is enough to make Li Tiancheng respectful, so he also stood in a silent tribute .

Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor started the match:

"The great legendary coach Brian Clough has just passed away. Players from both sides observed a minute's silence for him. Clough passed away in Derby County due to stomach cancer. We miss him very much!"

"With the referee's whistle, the first red derby of the season, Manchester United's game against Liverpool at Old Trafford officially begins!"

"In the previous game, Arsenal was tied 2-2 by Bolton, and Chelsea also drew a goalless draw with Tottenham. In this way, this game is undoubtedly the best opportunity for the two teams to draw closer to the top of the table. The more tense red derby has increased some intensity again!"

"We have invited two guests to this game, Manchester United star Dennis Law of the Holy Trinity and Liverpool star Crazy Horse Emlyn Hughes."

"Hello, Law, Hughes."

"It's actually not very good. Today is not a good day. A great guy has passed away, but if Liverpool can win, I think I will feel better." Emlyn Hughes said bluntly.

"I didn't expect Crazy Horse Hughes to say a few correct words. Although it was only half a sentence, Manchester United will undoubtedly win." Dennis Law showed no weakness.

"Oh! Ferdinand ran to the right and flew to tackle Cisse's breakthrough. His movement was clean and neat. This state does not look like he has not participated in the game for eight months." Martin Taylor interrupted the bickering between the two guests.

"Again! This time Luis Garcia was brought down from behind! Ferdinand gave Liverpool an indirect free kick, but it was worth it. It is undoubtedly very dangerous to let Garcia complete the turn. This is a tactical foul." Dennis · Law kept up the rhythm:

"After lifting the ban and coming back, Ferdinand immediately became the unyielding leader of Manchester United's defense again. Liverpool's offensive has been sharp in recent times, but it has not been reflected at all now. Didn't expect it, Mr. Hughes?"

Crazy Horse Hughes pouted: "This is just the beginning, it doesn't explain anything!"

"It's really tough, but it can't change the situation on the court."

After the start of the game, it was actually Manchester United, which was not doing well recently, that had the upper hand.

Li Tiancheng bit his lip. Manchester United's defense became quicker and more powerful. It didn't look like the ghost full of loopholes in the previous game. It's just an extra Ferdinand. This guy has something!
Of course, Benitez ranked 4231 in this game. He still chose Cisse as the single arrow at the top. This season, Liverpool’s starting lineup is different for each game. It's exactly the same as the last win over Monaco.

On the opposite side, Manchester United put up 4321, with Ruud van Nistelrooy at the top. Rooney, who said before the game that he might come back, was nowhere to be seen, and he was not included in the squad. It seems that Sir Alex Ferguson does not intend to let him come back from injury at this time.

Ronaldinho and Giggs are separated.

Keane and O'Shea partnered in the defensive midfielder, and Scholes was slightly forward.

The defense lined up with Brown, Rio Ferdinand, Sylvester and Heinze.

Liverpool's attack was weak, but Manchester United was unceremonious. Ronaldinho made a 30-meter long-distance attack from the backcourt. Riise was very embarrassed by him, and he stopped the attack with his hands and feet.

Alonso was pinned down by Scholes, and Kewell's defense was more like a show.

Isn't this the prestige of Xiao Luo?
