When the national team match day ended and the league restarted, Manchester United won two consecutive big wins. First, they reversed Wigan Athletic 3:1 away from home in the league, with Yin Jun contributing the key goal to overtake the score; and in Manchester United's home game 3:1. In the third round of the Champions League group stage with a 0-0 victory over Copenhagen, Yin Jun sent an assist.

Yin Jun didn't pay much attention to the fact that he didn't score a goal in the Champions League for the first time this season, because he had 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 time the two teams play against each other, it can be said that sparks collide with the earth, and the attention is always drawn. Whether it is on or off the field, there are many topics. .

Especially in the current state.

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

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

Although Manchester United has overtaken Liverpool in the total number of major championships, as long as it does not catch up with or even surpass its opponents in the two most important indicators-the number of top league championships and Champions League championships, it can be said that Manchester United has already surpassed Liverpool. It is the most wealthy family in England, but it always lacks confidence.

However, they really saw an opportunity this season!

Therefore, before the game even started, the topic of the battle for the title between Manchester United and Liverpool had already been aroused in the British Isles.

Today's double red meeting is regarded as the iconic battle of this protracted battle of kings!

………………

After 8 rounds of the Premier League, Manchester United has achieved 6 wins and 2 draws, beating Chelsea with 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss with an unbeaten record, ranking first in the Premier League standings.

Liverpool, who performed well last season, performed abnormally after the start of the new season. They only achieved 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in 8 league rounds, ranking 11th in the league with 11 points.

If Liverpool fails again in this double-red meeting and loses away from home, the point difference between them and Manchester United will widen to double digits, and they will be out of the league title competition at the beginning of the season.

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

When the two teams entered the stadium, fans of the home team sang "This Is The One" by The Stone Roses. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Bobby Charlton's first appearance for Manchester United.

Before the game, many famous players from both teams appeared, including Liverpool's Roger Hunt, Ian Callaghan and Tommy Smith. Ferguson also presented the 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 100th official game on behalf of Manchester United. This means that the three most outstanding young people of Manchester United have all played for the team for more than 100 games!

Among them, Yin Jun, who was the first to join Manchester United, has played the most games. Today is his 210th time playing for Manchester United; followed by Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese who came to Manchester United a year later than Yin Jun has played 137 times on behalf of Manchester United.

last but not least, Rooney, who only joined Manchester United in 2004. Rooney, who will celebrate his 21st birthday in two days, was officially promoted to Manchester United's 100-game club today.

………………

After the game started, Liverpool launched a fierce offensive against Manchester United's goal. Every Liverpool player was high-spirited, or rather murderous.

John Mortensen, who was responsible for the stand-up commentary of this game, said: "Today's Liverpool entered the game very quickly. They entered the game almost at the same time as the referee Boll blew the kick-off whistle. But I think

It’s normal to think that Liverpool must have been preparing for this game for a long time. They must be here today to end the humiliating 11-game losing streak against Manchester United in the past four seasons!”

John Mortensen continued: "Since the 2002-2003 season, Liverpool has faced Manchester United 11 times in the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup, and has not won a single victory, 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 giant Liverpool!"

At this point, John Mortensen laughed: "It sounds like...Liverpool needs to beat Manchester United to get rid of the knot. This kind of scenario has never happened in the past!"

"But now all this has become a reality, because Manchester United has Yin." John Mortensen said seriously, and then he also laughed.

………………

Liverpool players may think that Manchester United really despises them because of Manchester United's performance before the game, but in fact Manchester United attaches great importance to this game. Ferguson specially arranged the defense for the team in response to Liverpool's desire for revenge.

Counterattack tactics.

In fact, Manchester United really didn't want to create some illusion to make Liverpool think that they underestimated their opponent.

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

There was a surge of attack in the first ten minutes, but they were unable to break through Manchester United's goal.

In this game, Benitez arranged a 433 formation. The three forwards were Kuyt 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 loud and clear.

Kuyt worked very hard. The only threat Liverpool had in the past ten minutes came from him. However, the threat he could bring by himself was limited.

After withstanding Liverpool's three attacks in the opening game, Manchester United began to counterattack.

Unlike Liverpool's offensive, which is loud and clear, Manchester United's counterattacks are not many, but they are very threatening.

In the 18th minute, Yin Jun passed the football diagonally to Rooney during the counterattack. After Rooney stopped the football with his hand, he swung his foot, forcing Liverpool goalkeeper Reina to make a wonderful save and knocked the football away with his fingertips.

The bottom line has been drawn.

"Rooney!! Beautiful and confident goal!" John Mortensen shouted.
Chapter completed!
