Li Tiancheng enjoyed the treatment of a national idol, surrounded by spotlights and criticized by microphones.
"We just met."
This sentence was Li Tiancheng's only answer. If he asked again, he would just smile, and it would be regarded as a form of self-cultivation. It was not in vain for Jose to remind him all day long not to always use anger as motivation.
The same goes for Cheryl, at most she has a little more variety in her words.
"Of course the little prince is very good."
"A friend I just met."
"If we have the opportunity to communicate in depth, our friendship may be deeper."
"..."
In short, there is no interaction, no room booking...
Of course the paparazzi didn't believe it, and the public was dubious, but unfortunately there was no more evidence. Only one guy broke the news. After the novelty was over, they could only watch the heat slowly fade away.
Li Tiancheng put aside the scandal and concentrated on preparing for the game, and so did his teammates.
But since it is a red derby, Manchester United also attaches great importance to this game.
It's no surprise, then, that the Ferguson situation brought out traditional arts.
But Li Tiancheng didn't expect that the Duke would target him first.
"Lee is extremely talented, no less talented than Rooney and Ronaldo. I know this very well, and his performance also proves it. I regret that he did not choose to come to Manchester United."
"I also know that he performed well at that charity dinner. Fifty thousand pounds, which is not a small amount, was donated to the Liverpool Children's Hospital through the charity fund. This may save several young lives, which is of course excellent.
"
"But now I am very worried about how he will develop in the future. You must know that young talents are attracted by various temptations and fall into hell. There are countless examples. Maybe Benitez should learn how to manage young players. This is absolutely professional and profound.
knowledge."
Li Tiancheng:……
Old man, if you are really so worried about me, can you please not disturb me? I am trying hard to abandon external interference and prepare for war wholeheartedly!
It's a pity that Li Tiancheng can't go back. Sir Alex Ferguson, as a senior in football, is definitely worthy of respect. Besides, what he reminded me is right.
So I could only hold it in myself.
Benitez does not intend to be spoiled by his seniors. Although he has just arrived in the Premier League, he has no stage fright at all, even when facing the most special being in the Premier League.
"If you know how Li trains, then you will be completely at ease with him. All his enthusiasm is focused on football. Those gossips are based on rumors and are false. Don't take it to heart at all."
"Sir Alex Ferguson should probably focus on managing his own yard. After all, other people's fruits have nothing to do with him. And Rooney's prostitution scandal is getting bigger and bigger. He is only 19 years old and he has experienced hundreds of prostitutes. God.
, if this continues, can he still become the core of England in the next ten years?"
It’s not for nothing that Ferguson was wily and calculating. The master of psychological warfare drove Keegan crazy, so that Manchester United successfully came back to win the league championship. It is an eternal classic. You must know that Keegan led Newcastle to lead by a full 12 points.
It's simple but can't anger Ferguson: "Rafa has done a very good job, but he may not know it when he first comes here. The game between Manchester United and Liverpool is not an ordinary game. It is easy to misjudge the intensity of the game due to lack of experience, and mistakes are almost inevitable."
"Of course he is still very young and has ample learning opportunities. Maybe next year he will know how to deal with such a game."
Rafa Benitez is also not fuel-efficient: "Thanks to Sir Alex Ferguson for caring, but in Spain, Valencia and Real Madrid are also heavyweight El Clasicos. I am very familiar with the pressure brought by this kind of game, but Sir Alex Ferguson, but
Don’t be blinded by experience, otherwise you will be stuck in your own ways!”
The paparazzi's attention quickly shifted, and the two head coaches' verbal exchanges were much more attractive than Li Tiancheng's indifference.
In this way, Li Tiancheng finally became much cleaner, and the environment for preparing for war was much better.
"This red derby is definitely the weirdest!" Carragher muttered, his eyes watching the streets outside the bus keep moving back, but his mouth kept talking.
"What's weird?" Li Tiancheng was curious. Is there anything abnormal?
"Of course." Carragher beamed: "The red derby is the English national derby. The whole of England will pay attention to it. This battle is related to who is the boss of English football!"
"But the red derby in front of us is just like an ordinary league game," Carragher said with a strange face: "This is too strange, it is really uncomfortable for people!"
"Is this ordinary?" Li Tiancheng was a little stunned. There was a heated exchange of words before the game. Not only the head coach, but also the Liverpool deputy Mr. Carragher and the opposite Sylvester also left the field as player representatives, taunting each other.
, which shows no small amount of determination.
The reporters wrote lengthy articles, detailing everything, and never got tired of it; the fans followed the bus, sang loudly, and cheered passionately.
Is this ordinary? Then what is extraordinary?
Li Tiancheng looked at this man, is this guy showing off his superiority?
"I'm not bragging." Carragher didn't realize it, and became more and more excited as he spoke: "In the past, every time there was a red derby, Sky Sports and the BBC would go all out. Not only reporters, but also various TV programs were discussing it, and it was not just the two teams.
Fans, the whole of England will be paying attention to the game and the result. Compared to this scene, it is too ordinary."
"Maybe it's because our two teams are not doing well these days," Li Tiancheng scratched his chin and said, "You know, Arsenal and Chelsea are the representatives of the Premier League now."
"Little guy." Carragher stretched out his hand to hold the top of Li Tiancheng's head and rubbed it vigorously: "Don't let other people's ambitions destroy your prestige. If they want to represent the Premier League, they have to ask us if we agree!"
"Oops," Li Tiancheng knocked Carragher's hand off: "Okay, okay, is that because Sir Alex Ferguson is blocking the media?"
"Maybe!" Carragher shrugged. Ferguson was dissatisfied with the media's indiscretion and did not attend several post-match press conferences. So it is understandable that the media gave Manchester United a cold reception.
Li Tiancheng looked back and forth for a while, feeling the atmosphere. Everyone was talking and laughing. There was nothing special about it. However, after carefully observing several old players, Hyypia and the others, their soft words could not hide the excitement in their eyes. This was indeed not a game.
Ordinary competition.
These battle-hardened guys are already extremely excited.
Perhaps this is indeed the least popular red derby in thirty years, but everyone at Liverpool and Manchester United certainly dare not take it lightly.
Liverpool has always insisted on competing for the championship. This statement is indeed more encouraging, but there is one fact that cannot be avoided. If Manchester United, which is currently full of pathologies, cannot win, "campaigning for the championship" will really become a statement!
Against rivals such as Manchester United who have won the title, Liverpool must not be at any disadvantage. This game is not only about three points, but also about the confidence of the players and the outside world in the team's championship.
In the previous five games this season, Manchester United had one win, three draws and one loss, and only scored six points, creating the worst start to the league in fifteen years.
Only by defeating Liverpool and gaining three points can they retain any hope of fighting for the league title.
After all, Arsenal and Chelsea are really powerful.
