China is also hyping the explosive news that Mourinho was dismissed. However, unlike Europe, when Mourinho was hyped, Chinese media did not forget the battle between Chen Yu and Birmingham.

Since Zheng Hua was in the English Championship and Sun Hai had very few opportunities to play in Manchester City, the Chinese derby expected by Chinese fans and media has not been staged. Now, with Hong Kong tycoon Yang Jiacheng taking over Birmingham, it seems that an alternative Chinese derby can finally be staged. However, due to Chen Yu's ban, the derby between Chinese superstar and Chinese boss has also missed the chance to be staged again, which disappointed domestic fans.

Although Chen Yu was unable to participate in the game against Birmingham, Chinese media could still find a highlight, that is, whether Chen Yu and Yang Jiacheng would watch the game in the same box, because Yang Jiacheng had previously invited Chen Yu, hoping to watch the game between Birmingham and Liverpool with Chen Yu.

In this regard, the Football News also conducted a survey to see if the fans support Chen Yu and Yang Jiacheng to watch the game together. As a result, most fans supported Chen Yu to accept Yang Jiacheng's invitation, and some fans even hoped that Chen Yu could transfer to Birmingham and create a club with truly Chinese characteristics.

On the day of Liverpool and Birmingham's match, because of the huge gap in strength in this game, the reporter was not interested in the game. The camera kept looking in the stands to see if Chen Yu had watched the game and whether Chen Yu was sitting in the same box with Yang Jiacheng.

Chen Yu is here, and Chen Yu is really sitting in the same private room with Yang Jiacheng!

However, what surprised the reporters and fans was that not only Chen Yu appeared in Yang Jiacheng's private room, but Liverpool's boss Gillette also came from the United States.

It turned out that the impact of Yang Jiacheng's invitation to Chen Yu to watch the football together had exceeded England's range, and even Gillette, who was far away in the United States, knew about it.

Of course, Gillette knew what the purpose of Yang Jiacheng invited Chen Yu to watch the game. He wanted to dig Liverpool's corner. Digging Liverpool's corner is to dig his corner. Now Chen Yu is Liverpool's ace and Liverpool's treasure. He must not allow such a thing to happen.

Although Birmingham is just a small club, Yang Jiacheng is really rich. He is cash, while Guiley only has bank loans. In addition, Yang Jiacheng and Chen Yu are both Chinese, so this is not something that can be small. So Gillette couldn't wait to fly from the United States to Liverpool and accompany Yang Jiacheng to watch the game that looks like the result is decided and has no attractive game.

In the mid-week UEFA Champions League group stage, Liverpool struggled to draw Porto away, and suffered two consecutive draws in the two fronts. After the game, the team was severely criticized by the English media. Although Liverpool's performance was already good compared to the same period last season, what worries fans is the team's continued sluggish state. Returning to the Premier League arena, welcoming the weak team Birmingham at home, and Manchester United and Chelsea have a strong conversation. The Red Army soldiers and fans think this is a good opportunity to rebound.

Due to the just-concluded Arsenal and Derby County matches on another field, the Gunners won another 5-0, and their points had already caught up with Liverpool, which put a lot of pressure on Liverpool.

Benitez did not make much adjustment to the starting lineup, and only replaced Kuyt and Finnan with Volonen and Riser. Pennant, who received a stupid red card in Portugal, was surprised to continue the starting lineup. Liverpool seemed full of vitality at the beginning of the game, and Liverpool and Babel teamed up to make waves after wave on the left. Lesser and Volonen won two excellent shooting opportunities in the first half of the game.

This made Gillette, who was sitting in the private room very happy. He smiled and said to Chen Yu: "Oh, if you are on the court, we must have taken the lead."

Chen Yu looked at Yang Jiacheng, not knowing whether Gillette was too straightforward or intentional, and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Scoring a goal sometimes requires a little luck."

Yang Jiacheng smiled and said, "Don't be humble. We Chinese like to be humble. If you are really on the court, you might really score a goal. If we could have a striker like you, we would have the chance to score points today."

Gillie smiled and said, "It's a pity that Chen Yu has only one."

Yang Jiacheng said: "Yes, there are only one Chen Yu in the 1.3 billion Chinese. If you don't want it anymore, you should notify me."

Gillette said: "No, we won't sell unless Chen Yu retires."

Gillette's speech stimulated Yang Jiacheng, and Yang Jiacheng responded without hesitation. The two of them started a verbal battle, which made Chen Yu feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Birmingham suffered an unexpected blow in the 4th minute, and midfielder Ovinia was replaced due to injury. Liverpool's offensive became more and more powerful, and it was very likely to tie the opponent's goal. Pennant also became active on the right. Liverpool's two wings were flying together to make Birmingham able to recover his troops into the penalty area and try his best to protect the landing point.

With such obvious advantages, Liverpool seems to be able to score at any time. Gillette is even more proud and said to Chen Yu: "It's time for us to rebound, draw two games. After you return in the next game, we can start a winning streak again."

Chen Yu frowned slightly and said, "Birmingham's shrinking defense is actually not easy to play. We cannot score in the first half, and it will be difficult in the second half."

Yang Jiacheng was in a calm mood and said calmly: "We didn't expect to win this game in Anfield. We are here to learn. As latecomers who invest in the Premier League, we still have a long way to go."

"Don't dare to take it, don't dare to take it."

Gillette said that he didn't dare to take it, but the smug smile on his face became even stronger.

Gillette thought Liverpool had won, but the game was unexpected to him or everyone's expectations.

Birmingham's helpless move actually worked! The two Liverpool starting centers, Kuyt and Volonin, seemed very fragile under the defense of Birmingham's tall defenders, and they were always unable to freely turn the pass into a shot. In the first half, Liverpool's shots reached 14 times, with a possession rate of 72%, but failed to score.

During the halftime break, Yang Jiacheng was very happy and chatted with Chen Yu. When talking about the national team, the Hong Kong rich man said that if Chen Yu does not want to join the national team, he can join the Hong Kong team. He can be responsible for holding a line to ensure that the Hong Kong Football Association and fans are welcomed.

Chen Yu did not comment on Yang Jiacheng's warm invitation, and Gillette was very unhappy. In Gillette's view, Chen Yu is not young anymore and has been reluctant to fight on Liverpool's third and fourth lines. If he joins the national team, the risk of injury will increase. "How can he join the Hong Kong team? A team like Hong Kong has no ability to enter the World Cup and has no bonus to Chen Yu's honor. If he cannot return to the Chinese team, it is better to play the club wholeheartedly. With the club's success, Chen Yu will definitely win the World Footballer and the European Golden Ball Awards."

Gillette knew what Chen Yu wanted most now, and deliberately used the World Footballer and the Golden Globe Award to seduce Chen Yu.

Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "Thank you Mr. Gillette and Boss Yang. I have decided to return to the national team. Although I may not participate in the match against Myanmar in October, I will not miss the group stage."

Gillette stopped talking.

Yang Jiacheng said: "It's good to go back to the Chinese team, and its strength is definitely stronger than that of the Hong Kong team. Although the Chinese team is not good, it's a pity that a player has never played in the World Cup."

Chen Yu sighed and said, "This... is hard to describe, so let's not talk about it. The game has begun, watch the game."

Yang Jiacheng smiled and said, "Yeah, I understand, watch the ball."

After the second half kickoff, Birmingham players became more and more confident, while Liverpool's offense went into misunderstandings. The players began to impatiently send the ball directly to the opponent's penalty area. Although Benitez replaced Wollenen and Pennant one after another, the situation did not change in any substantial situation. Instead, Birmingham began to use the home team's massive pressure to fight a threatening counterattack.

In the 79th minute, Capo quickly broke through, and Birmingham formed a two-on-two situation in the frontcourt. In the end, Birmingham striker McShefrey shot in front of the goal. Reiner was powerless, but the ball slightly missed the post.

The Liverpool fans in the stands were silent, and Benitez off the court was also scared and sweated.

Gillette in the VIP box had darkened his face. He never expected that Liverpool had reached a situation where even Birmingham could hardly be blocked. With ten minutes left in the game, it seemed that it was not easy for Liverpool to defeat Birmingham.

At the beginning and middle stages of the game, Yang Jiacheng was very relaxed. He lost anyway, and he had no psychological burden. But now, he affirmed the hope of peaceful victory and became nervous. He was in a state of mind. He was almost blinded and stared at the stadium.

Liverpool fans saw the situation of the game become so serious that they all stood up and sang the team song "You will never walk alone" in unison.

Encouraged by loud and exciting singing, Liverpool almost over half of the team and began bombarding Birmingham. However, the result was that the offensive space was further compressed. The forward had no room for action and could not penetrate the dense wall of man shots. Liverpool had the advantage of possessing the ball and crossing, but he could not send the ball into Birmingham's goal.

In the 89th minute, Liverpool got the last chance to rewrite the score. Gerrard took the corner kick and Crouch scored the landing point from the long post, but unfortunately, his header that was too pursuing angles but missed the post. In the following three minutes of stoppage time, Liverpool's mentality became more anxious. With this mentality, they could not even create a shot opportunity and could only accept the third draw in a week.

After the game, Yang Jiacheng was so happy that he couldn't stop. It was definitely a feat to draw Liverpool at Anfield. This is something that Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal are not easy to do. When he shook hands with Gillette, he smiled and said to Gillette: "I promise, your luck today is too bad, so we have a bargain."

Gillette barely shook Yang Jiacheng, but he didn't even say a word to Yang Jiacheng.

Yang Jiacheng was not angry either and smiled and said to Chen Yu: "If you have time to go to Birmingham, I will treat you to dinner. Well, call Sun Hai and Zheng Hua, all of them."

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely go."

Yang Jiacheng left the box happily and celebrated with the players in Birmingham.

Chen Yu sighed and said to Gillette: "Don't worry, Mr. Gillette, at least we have much better results than last season. Now Arsenal is one point less. Even if Manchester United beat Chelsea, with the same points, we score more goals, and the top spot is still ours."
