Chapter 41: England’s First Derby (Additional Updates)

Liverpool's home game against Manchester United is an English national derby and the first derby in England. The entire first half of this game was played in a high-tempo and high-confrontation manner.

Except for not scoring a goal, it is fully worthy of the title of "England's No. 1 Derby".

Because of what Chen Yingxiong said before the game, he was considered arrogant by Manchester United and did not take Manchester United seriously.

Liverpool fans cheered for Chen Yingxiong, thinking that this person who had just transferred to the team had already understood the true meaning of the hatred between Manchester United and Liverpool, and was able to say such words. He was obviously trying to provoke and stimulate. Manchester United.

But both sides obviously lack an in-depth understanding of Chen Yingxiong - Chen Yingxiong definitely did not deliberately provoke Manchester United, nor did he provoke Manchester United to please Liverpool fans.

He was telling the truth.

He has this kind of character. Sometimes people think he is deliberately provoking. In fact, he is just arrogant and confident from the bottom of his heart...

What he said is correct - this is how it should be, no matter who the opponent is, we must work hard to win. Could it be that because the opponent is Manchester United, he is about to surrender?

His only problem is that he talks too hard. If he said, "No matter who my opponent is, I will work hard to beat them," then there would be no problem at all. But what he said was "I will defeat them anyway"...

The meaning changed, and it became as if victory was within Chen Yingxiong's pocket.

Therefore, Liverpool fans cheered Chen Yingxiong loudly during the game, while Manchester United fans desperately booed Chen Yingxiong.

Manchester United and Chen Yingxiong also have a grudge - in the Champions League semi-finals last season, Chen Yingxiong's Naples eliminated Manchester United before reaching the Champions League final at Wembley Stadium, and finally won the Champions League final. Champions League title.

Chen Yingxiong performed well in the Champions League final and scored a hat trick. However, Manchester United fans will not think that Chen Yingxiong has the qualifications and abilities and should eliminate Manchester United.

They will only remember Chen Yingxiong as the culprit who prevented Manchester United from qualifying for the Champions League. He scored a goal and a key assist in two rounds to help Naples eliminate Manchester United.

As the number one star of Naples, while enjoying the honor of bringing him with such a false name, he must also bear the corresponding responsibility-the wrongdoer has his debtor, and the anger of Manchester United fans naturally vented towards Chen Yingxiong.

Not only did he lead Naples to eliminate Manchester United, he also joined Manchester United's mortal enemy Liverpool. Coupled with Chen Yingxiong's words, it really confirmed his identity as Manchester United's mortal enemy...

Although it was an away game, Manchester United fans still dedicated their boos to Chen Yingxiong.

"Chen Yingxiong was not affected by the boos at all... Manchester United fans wanted to express their disgust for Chen Yingxiong in this way, but this method was completely ineffective for the hero! Because he has long been ignored by the home team fans in Naples They trained me with their crazy boos!" the Italian commentator laughed. "I think anyone who has been consistently booed at the Sao Paulo Stadium for a season will probably no longer be afraid of boos and the so-called hell stadium..."

He was right, but what else could those angry fans do besides booing him and scolding him?

They couldn't possibly jump down from the stands and rush in front of Chen Yingxiong and beat him up, right? Let’s not talk about whether any of them will think of this approach. Just the question of whether they can beat Chen Yingxiong makes people doubtful...

In addition to the hatred that Manchester United fans have for Chen Yingxiong, there is also a person that they particularly hate on the Liverpool side, and that is...Wayne Rooney.

This player who once played for Everton has now transformed into a Manchester United player. He was once Liverpool's mortal enemy in the same city, and now he is Liverpool's enemy again. It can be said that hatred is compounded. Under the double hatred, Liverpool fans will naturally not be polite to Rooney.

The stands at Anfield were filled with flags, slogans, and caricatures that insulted and attacked Manchester United, most of which belonged to Rooney.

Someone drew a clown cartoon of Rooney counting money, mocking Rooney as a Judas when he transferred from Everton to Manchester United for money.

When Rooney got the ball, he got louder boos than Chen Yingxiong - this is Liverpool's home court, and the home team fans must be louder than the away team fans...

Amid such boos, Rooney was undaunted. He had long been used to it. It was not the first time he represented Manchester United against Liverpool, nor was it the first time he came to Anfield as a mortal enemy.

He knows that the way to shut up these people is the same as making these people crazy and hate him even more, that is to score goals!

After Chen Yingxiong moved to Liverpool, the English media cheered for a while. Because with the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid, the English media have been lamenting for a long time, saying that except for Rooney, there are no good young talents in the Premier League today, and the star flavor of the Premier League has been greatly reduced.

The Spaniards always use the fact that they have Messi, Ronaldo, and Kaka, the three most famous players in today's football, to explain that their league has surpassed the Premier League and become the first league in Europe.

Now Chen Yingxiong has joined Liverpool. As the second most valuable player in the world, he has just defeated Messi and Barcelona in the Champions League final and is in the limelight. His joining is considered to increase the stardom of the Premier League.

Therefore, Rooney and Chen Yingxiong were inevitably hyped and publicized by the media. In fact, the stories of these two people are indeed suitable for such hype-first of all, one of them plays for Manchester United and the other plays for Liverpool. The two teams are mortal enemies.

Secondly, both of them are excellent. Rooney is the number one idol in English football and is considered by the European media to be the only Mesozoic player who can be compared with Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. And what about Chen Yingxiong? Newly emerged and unstoppable, it took only one season to sweep the entire European football world, defeating Messi and Barcelona, ​​and leading Napoli, who no one expected, to win the European Champions Cup. It has already become vaguely on an equal footing with Messi, Ronaldo and others. posture.

Third, neither person is a "good guy." Rooney is a troublesome figure like a "bad boy" in English football. There are countless controversies and news surrounding him. He is a prostitute, or an old prostitute, he drinks alcohol, he hits people in bars, he commits flagrant fouls on the pitch, and he has a bad temper. Irritability... Chen Yingxiong also has some traits similar to Rooney. The various legends about him are enough to explain who he is. All the troubles Rooney has have appeared in Chen Yingxiong, except for the fact that there is no malicious foul. Outside...

Since there is an endless competition between Messi and Ronaldo in Spanish football, why can't we also establish such a pair of rivals in England?

And this English derby between Liverpool and Manchester United at home is simply the best opportunity.

So everyone's cameras and focus are on Liverpool's No. 9 and Manchester United's No. 10.

I don’t know whether it was intentional to cooperate with the media’s hype, or whether it was an unintentional coincidence.

Both Chen Yingxiong and Rooney worked very hard and desperately in the game. They seemed to know their status in English football and neither one wanted to lose to the other.

In the first five minutes, Rooney had a long shot, but it missed.

Three minutes later, Chen Yingxiong retaliated with a powerful volley from the penalty area, which was slightly positive and was firmly held by goalkeeper De Gea, who had transferred from Atletico Madrid.

In the 28th minute, Liverpool midfielder Lucas tripped Rooney in midfield and received a yellow card. If this was a normal game, Rooney would probably have sat on the ground with his hands spread out in protest and helplessness. When he saw the referee giving the opponent a yellow card, he would have consciously gotten up from the ground.

But this is a derby, a game between Manchester United and Liverpool. So Rooney jumped up from the ground and hit Lucas on the forehead!

Lucas showed no sign of weakness, head-to-head with Rooney, both talking trash and staring at each other with wide eyes.

The players from both sides seemed to have been waiting for this signal. When they saw the two people pushing the bull on the court, they quickly joined in, pushing and shoving, trying to stop the fight, and naturally they cursed and accused each other. Liverpool players accused Rooney of exaggerating his collapse, while Manchester United players believed Lucas committed a flagrant foul.

In short, you are always right, and the other person is always wrong.

The referee is used to this scene - the hatred between Liverpool and Manchester United is something that an Englishman knows. He didn't take it too seriously. Such a conflict might be a big deal in other games, but in the El Clasico between Manchester United and Liverpool, it was just a common episode.

He didn't even give the players on both sides 50 rebounds each. He just showed a yellow card to Lucas for the foul and gave all the players a warning - even if this was a derby, such a foul was still not allowed!

As for the players on both sides involved in the conflict, no one is fine. He just called the captains Carragher and Giggs of the two teams together and reminded them to control the emotions of their teammates and put the game first, otherwise he would not mind killing them.

This is the difference between English football and other continental European football.

In terms of penalties for many physical contacts and intense scenes on the football field, the standards of English referees are relatively wide. Their first task is not to maintain the fairness and justice of the game, but to make the game proceed smoothly and smoothly. In La Liga, some actions are considered fouls worthy of yellow cards. In England, the referee often shakes his index finger to indicate falling to the ground. The players quickly got up and continued playing.

Because of this, the pace of the Premier League is always fast, the fighting is fierce, and the body is used very frequently. Those thin technical players who come to play in England often have trouble adapting. If they don't increase their physical strength and weight, they may not even have a chance to play in the Premier League team.

This is why everyone says that if someone like Messi came to England, he would have been abolished long ago... In England, football is a purely men's sport. Physical collisions and even broken arms and legs are the passion that everyone admires. In the early years, those traditional English managers would shout to their players when directing the game from the sidelines: "Shovel his legs!" "Kick his ankles! Get that damn bastard off!" This kind of thing...

In this game, physical contact is even more frequent...

Chen Yingxiong discovered this - at the end of the first half, he picked up the ball at the front of the penalty area, and then he was tripped from behind by Rio Ferdinand. He was knocked to the ground and naturally had the ball. Lost too.

Based on his experience playing in the Italian League, he opened his arms to signal a foul, hoping to win a free kick for the team.

As a result, the referee waved his hand at him, and then hooked his hand to signal him to stand up...

Dalglish did not raise his arms on the sidelines to signal the referee to give Liverpool a free kick. Instead, he shouted at Chen Yingxiong: "Hero! Get the hell up! Run back!"

Liverpool's players on the field did not raise their hands to the referee to indicate that Chen Yingxiong had been violated. They were desperately trying to defend.

Leo Ferdinand looked back at Chen Yingxiong, his eyes full of disdain: Boy, don't fucking think this is a sissy place like the Champions League! This is the Premier League! All the people playing football here are men! Man, do you understand? !

He also knocked over Chen Yingxiong in the semi-finals, causing the team to be awarded a free kick, and eventually conceded the ball. He himself was still resentful about being sent off with a red card...

Feeling Ferdinand's contemptuous eyes, Chen Yingxiong jumped up from the ground and ran back.

His move was applauded by many Liverpool fans, and Dalglish was also pleased with his performance. He stopped yelling at him and waved his arms to get him up from the ground.

The first half of the game ended with frequent physical contact between players from both sides, although no goal was scored. But the TV viewers, commentators and fans of both sides of the game in England all felt that this first half was very exciting - this is the number one derby in England, and this is how the game between Liverpool and Manchester United should be!

"It is indeed the first derby in England!" the commentator of England's Sky TV sighed from the bottom of his heart.
