Chapter 310 The stage is set (First update, please vote for me!)
Manchester United fans and Manchester City fans would never have imagined that they finally shook hands and made peace temporarily and joined forces to deal with Liverpool, but the result was only to increase the morale of Liverpool...
Liverpool is just like Saint Seiya. The more you hit him, the worse he will be beaten, and the stronger the small universe that explodes in the end will be...

At the press conference after adapting to the venue on the last day before the game, Ferguson looked confident and cool: "This is our home court. That's all I have to say, thank you."
With just such a sentence, the old Sir Alex's domineering power was fully revealed.
He didn't go on and on about everything to please the reporters. He never had to please the media.
Seeing Ferguson's appearance, the Manchester media became increasingly confident in defeating Liverpool at home.
As if by coincidence, Liverpool's head coach Martin O'Neill also said briefly at the press conference: "I will not announce the starting lineup in advance. In addition, this is the closest Liverpool has come to the Premier League championship. We have no reason to give up, even if it is On the road.”
After that, he stood up and left, and his press conference was over.
Only a group of reporters were left looking at each other - where are they?
Did the two head coaches discuss this? Why are you so concise and to the point today?
After a group of people looked at each other, they had to return to reality, because they had to write a manuscript. As a pre-game press conference, this is the biggest source of material for everyone's press releases before the game. But now that both coaches are so precious with words, how can they perform?
Journalists have to show off, and there must be something for them to show off. The two of them said so little, even if they were novelists, they couldn't make up anything.
We can only think about it from the matter itself.
Today's press conference was indeed abnormal. Every abnormality must have a monster. Maybe this abnormality reveals a deeper connotation?
All the reporters had similar expressions when they left the press conference. They were all frowning and thinking hard.
Not to mention, in one night's work, these reporters really worked hard to come up with something.
Everyone basically starts their analysis from a few words of the two head coaches.
They both keep the story short and concise, but can the effect of these two people's actions and the meaning they want to express be the same?
Of course not!
Ferguson's simple sentence "This is our home court" represented infinite domineering. Martin O'Neill, who appeared later, said "I will not announce the starting lineup in advance", which exposed his inner weakness. Otherwise, why would they not dare to announce it in advance? Announce your starting lineup? Everyone still wants to see if Gerrard will start. Then he said, "In addition, this is the closest Liverpool has come to winning the Premier League title. We have no reason to give up, even if it's away from home." Compared with Ferguson's words, it was a bit long-winded. What does verbosity mean? It shows that he feels guilty and has to say more to cover up.
So Martin O'Neal was simply trying to imitate Ferguson, trying to imitate Ferguson's confidence and coolness, but he failed miserably, and people could see through it at a glance.
Why do people think that Martin O'Neill has a guilty conscience for the same performance?
Isn’t it because of Liverpool’s performance during this period? They were eliminated by Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Although they won in the league, they were narrowly defeated every time. In addition, in the last round of the league, Chen Yingxiong, who had always been in good form, was inexplicably muted. So many unfavorable factors added to the Together, no one would feel guilty.
But he cannot show weakness, because once he shows weakness, his team will collapse immediately. It can be said that Liverpool has not collapsed so far because Martin O'Neill continues to support it with lies. It is really a miracle.
But the lie will eventually be exposed one day, and the more beautiful the soap bubble is, the less it can last for long.
All this will be revealed in this afternoon's game.
Liverpool's collapse is today!

Martin O'Neill couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the comments and reports in the newspaper.
I didn't expect those media would really analyze it like this. It seems that Liverpool's previous performance was really unbearable...
But this is fine, because Manchester United feels that Liverpool is easy to bully, and they will die more miserably when the time comes.
The war of words is over, now comes the time for real sword and gun combat!
He looked back at the players resting in the hotel lobby waiting for the bus.

Look at this scene, it’s really spectacular!”
Following the sound of reporters on the scene, the cameraman gave a shot to the media at work.
"These media come from 40 countries on four continents... It can be foreseen that tomorrow's front-page headlines in many countries will give way to this game. German fans watch the live broadcast online and newspapers are sold out. In Oslo, the capital of Norway, there are smart Merchants have installed giant TV screens in the square, and thousands of fans can watch the game in the open air.

Between Manchester United and Liverpool The competition between the two has never received such attention from the whole world as it does today - for the first time, the contest between these mortal enemies is in line with their mutual identity and status, as well as the value of hatred..."

It's just China, because With Heroes, I think there could be hundreds of millions of people watching! What an exciting number! Remember it's just a Premier League game, not a World Cup final!"
"It was hard to get a ticket at Old Trafford today. Along the way we saw a lot of fans holding signs with tickets, but unfortunately, no one would be stupid enough to give up their tickets... According to Manchester United's press officer , this El Clasico, about 350,000 people applied for tickets through official channels, and only five Old Trafford stadiums can barely accommodate them! On the black market, it is said that Chinese fans spent 10,000 euros to buy them yesterday One ticket but failed to do so...Although the financial crisis has not gone away, you will never feel that the world is in a financial crisis before this game..."

The excitement around the pitch was relayed to players on both sides via television feeds.
They also spent time watching TV before waiting to board the train. Of course, it was only a minority at first, and more people were using their mobile phones to check Twitter and Facebook, or playing games on handheld game consoles.
But when one person started to raise his head and glance at the TV screen, his eyes never moved away.
Then one, two, three, four... more players put down what they were doing and looked up at the TV screen.
This time, the British Sky TV station also put in some effort and used helicopters to conduct aerial photography. If you look at it like this, the situation around Old Trafford will be clear at a glance.
Everyone saw the spectacle at Old Trafford.
Because the admission had not officially started yet, the entire Old Trafford was full of people.
This time Manchester United is wearing a red home jersey and Liverpool is wearing a black away jersey.
Viewed from the air, the red and black torrents kept hitting each other, but just when they were about to come into contact, they were blocked back by the embankment formed by the police.
But the fans from both sides were unyielding and still charged towards each other, like a tide, one wave after another, one wave higher than the other.
Seeing this scene from the sky, there is an indescribable spectacular beauty that makes people speechless.
Players from both sides were in different hotels and on different occasions, just watching, with infinite power growing in their hearts.
The most powerful opponent, the most critical moment, the most suspenseful result, no one can afford to lose - this is the best game!
Chen Yingxiong looked at the TV and suddenly said: "Brothers, the stage has been set..."
Ferguson said to his assistant Whelan: "We have the script, we have the director, we have everything except the actors."
Yes, everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
The stage is right there, go up and put on a great show!
