Chapter 478, Lively Pre-Match Remarks
Rogers has been in a bad mood recently because he has a premonition that he is very likely to dismiss get out of class. Liverpool has always stumbled in the Premier League, can win two consecutive victories, and can also quickly lose three consecutive games. Liverpool under his rule is always on a roller coaster, with ups and downs, constantly testing the hearts of Liverpool fans.
Fortunately, the teams ranked ahead of Liverpool in the last few games have had poor records. The fifth-ranked Tottenham have experienced ups and downs, and the sixth-ranked Everton has also achieved three consecutive draws, which makes Rodgers Sees a chance to get back into the top six.
Yes, for the current Rogers, it is already very good to be able to return to the top six and qualify for the Europa League.
No wonder many Liverpool fans are unhappy with him. Some fans even said on the Internet that Rodgers has completely embarrassed Liverpool!
Rogers is under a lot of pressure now. He urgently needs a victory that can prove his coaching ability to reverse the pressure of public opinion against him, and winning the game against Manchester United has become his biggest goal at present.
Before the game, Rodgers spoke loudly at the press conference: "In tomorrow's game, we will definitely be able to win Manchester United at Old Trafford and end their three-game winning streak in one fell swoop."
A reporter asked sharply: "Manchester United are in such good form recently, why is Coach Rodgers sure of winning? You must know that Manchester United is now the favorite to win the league and the Champions League in the eyes of many experts."
Rogers smiled and said confidently: "The favorite to win the championship? It's too early to say. The reason why Manchester United is in good form recently is entirely because they haven't encountered a strong team. A while ago, they played against Manchester City in the league. It was a draw; they also lost to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium; they only encountered a stronger team from Juventus in the Champions League. If Manchester United want to prove that they are worthy of the championship, then they must at least win A team of Liverpool's quality will do, but unfortunately, I will let them down tomorrow."
At Manchester United's press conference, someone relayed Rogers' words to Kintag, and Kintag nodded: "There is still a point in what Rogers said."
The reporters in the audience were stunned, and Toynby, a reporter from the Guardian, asked, "Which of Rogers' words makes sense?"
Jin Taige said with a smile: "Recently, Manchester United has rarely encountered strong opponents, and in the games against giants, we have won and lost each other. We really need to win some heavyweight games to prove that we are worthy of the championship. But , These heavyweight matches are limited to the wealthy teams, not including the kind of down-and-out teams who have not qualified for the European war for two consecutive seasons and think they are still wealthy!"
These words of Kintag caused a great sensation, and many Liverpool fans were very angry! They scolded Kim Taige on social media,
If the fan associations across Europe organize a swearing contest, then Liverpool fans will definitely win the championship.
And Manchester United fans felt very refreshed after listening to Jin Taige's words! This is how you should be merciless when dealing with your sworn enemy!
Scholes asked Kintag in private: "Captain, is it inappropriate for us to talk like this?"
Jin Taige smiled disdainfully: "Paul, we are mortal enemies with Liverpool. No matter what you say, they will not like you. If I speak badly, Liverpool fans will be angry and dislike me. If we are polite, will they have a good impression of us? The answer is absolutely no! So instead of being polite to the enemy, it is better to hit them with all means!"
The war of words between the coaches of the two teams before the game involved the players of both teams.
In the face of reporters' questions, Liverpool captain Gerrard first expressed his dissatisfaction: "As a Premier League defending champion coach, it is a disgrace to the Premier League to say such disrespectful words. When the game comes, I will teach Teach Kintag and his team how to behave!"
And Manchester United did not show any weakness. Captain Vidic also issued a pre-war declaration: "Rodgers said that Manchester United still needs to prove themselves. I think this is really ridiculous. I think Coach Tiger is right. What face does a team without qualifications have to let last season's Premier League champions prove themselves?"
Before the game even started, there was already a lot of excitement outside the arena.
When the two teams entered the field to warm up, Kintag and Rogers didn't even shake hands with each other, and the relationship between the two had dropped to freezing point.
Taking advantage of the warm-up gap, Sky TV commentator Morris is introducing the starting lists of both sides.
"Manchester United have their strongest lineup of the season for this game. 4-4-2 formation: De Gea in goal; Smalling and Vidic at the back with Alonso on the left and right. and Rafael; the midfielder is Kanter and Lampard, Mahrez and De Bruyne one left and one right; the striker is a combination of Lewandowski and Griezmann. The seven substitute players are: Alisson, Jones , Ashley Young, Nainggolan, Kroos, Valencia and Icardi."
"Although Manchester United just fought against Olympiacos four days ago, because these two games are at home, it is a good thing for Manchester United. In this game, Kintag continued to form the strongest main lineup. It seems that he is very good at this game. The game is taken very seriously.”
Raman took over the words: "That's natural, this kind of England National Derby, Kintag can't treat it like an ordinary league game. And not only Kintag attaches great importance to it, Rogers also attaches great importance to this game They have been facing a lot of difficulties recently, and there are rumors that the Liverpool board of directors is already dissatisfied with Rodgers. If their results can't be one step closer, then Rodgers is really not far from getting out of class."
"Liverpool is also playing with all the main players in this game. 3-4-3 formation: the goalkeeper is Brad Jones; the three defenders from left to right are Lovren, Skrtel and Glenn Johnson; four The midfield is Moreno, Joe Allen, Gerrard and Henderson; the three forwards are Lallana and Coutinho, and Sterling is in the middle."
"Liverpool played a very aggressive 3-4-3 formation in this game. It seems that Rodgers is going to fight Manchester United today. But his hard work is worth it. If Liverpool really wins this game, then they They will surpass Everton in front of them and return to the top six in the league; and if they get three points today, they are only two points away from the fifth place Tottenham. Therefore, this game is not only a England derby, and it's Rodgers' battle of proof in Liverpool!" The successor of the Red Devils
