Chapter 1018 Inventory

It is unbelievable to say that the double red club has always existed only in the League, League Cup, and FA Cup. Liverpool and Manchester United have never met in the history of the Champions League.

Although the glory days of the two teams were in different eras, after all, during the Ferguson era, Liverpool reached the Champions League finals twice.

In the Premier League civil war, Manchester United has encountered Arsenal and Chelsea, but not Liverpool.

Liverpool has met Chelsea, Arsenal, and even Manchester City, but they have never met Manchester United.

This is the first appearance of the Double Red Club in the Champions League.

The next three consecutive double red games made all the British media excited. They ignored another heavyweight Madrid derby and focused all their energy on Manchester United and Liverpool.

Carrington Base.

In the office, everyone turned to stare at the screen on the opposite wall.

"Although Manchester United is stronger overall and has performed very well this season, we will try our best."

"Whether we can reach the Champions League final...maybe God only knows, but Liverpool will not give up any opportunity."

Klopp pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looking like a cultural man, "For me personally, defeating Best is exciting..."

The host opposite smiled and asked: "Is it because you have never defeated Best?"

"Hahaha, there are factors in this regard. No matter whether he is in Wolfsburg, Schalke 04 or Manchester United, Best has never lost in direct dialogue." Klopp sighed, "Best may be the best player today. The best player in the world."

"Although Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar look better and have better statistics." The host also agreed with this view, "But Best brings more to the team, and he is also the head coach, which makes Manchester United stand out from the rest. different."

Klopp put on a dead face, "So, Best has never lost to a recognized giant team in Europe."

"Bayern and Dortmund in the Bundesliga, Inter Milan and AC Milan in Serie A, Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga, and Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal in the Premier League..."

"Perhaps Atletico Madrid is an exception, but Atletico Madrid at that time was not recognized as a top powerhouse." The host nodded, "The team may have lost, but Best did not play, and was not even included in the squad."

Klopp shrugged, "So... it's exciting to beat Best."

"Hahaha, Jurgen, will you buy a lottery ticket?"

"I can't, but maybe I can ask my next door neighbor to buy it. The kid wants to buy a new Liverpool jersey."

Sun Wu has never lost to a wealthy team in his career. This was widely reported by the media three years ago, and even bookmakers even offered odds. As a result... three years later, Sun Wu's feet The piles of corpses increase the odds again and again.

After watching the talk show, Sun Wu turned off the TV without changing his expression. Klopp was not a person who liked shows. He was risking his life this time.

"Does it make sense?" Carrick asked in confusion.

"It makes sense." McFerran replied with a face. "On the one hand, Klopp deliberately focused everyone's attention on Best and deliberately ignored other Manchester United players.

"

"On the other hand, Klopp is trying to win sympathy." Sun Wu crossed his legs and continued: "I don't know how many people are looking forward to me losing to him."

Rolf frowned tightly, "Will it affect the referee team?"

"Who knows." McFerran sighed: "At least the referee team will not favor Manchester United. If Manchester United is given preferential treatment by the referee, then Best's unbeaten record will..."

Sun Wu smiled and shook his head, "It's just a little trick. Generally speaking, it still depends on the two sides actually meeting each other for three times."

In fact, Sun Wu was wondering in his heart whether Klopp was saving his character... Just this year, at this time, Ranieri in the original time and space was saving his character like this, and then poisoned all his opponents to win the league. champion.

"Let's get started." Sun Wu turned to look at Dr. Sver and Leuthard, "In terms of injuries and physical fitness?"

"Harry Kane, Fletcher, and Milner were all slightly unwell during yesterday's training. In addition, Falcao found out that he had a cold today." Dr. Swale looked down at the information. "Everyone else is fine. We focused on checking Luke." Shaw, Rojo, Mane, Salah are all in top physical condition."

Sun Wu twitched the corner of his mouth, "It's the end of April now, and Falcao has a cold... What did he do last night?"

"It rained last night, and the temperature at night was no higher than 5 degrees." Dr. Sver said expressionlessly: "According to Falcao's own statement, he left the window open last night."

Sun Wu wiped his face and said, "Does this mean Falcao and Harry Kane will both be absent?"

"Harry Kane can barely play, but Falcao...I have told him to go home to recuperate so as not to infect his teammates."

They have been making tactical predictions and making possible tactical adjustments these days, but the sudden injury ruined half of the coaching staff's work for several days, and the atmosphere in the office became tense.

Sun Wu took a deep breath and turned to look at Leuthard.

"Physical fitness is not a big problem. Although it is the sprint stage of the season, due to the depth of Manchester United's bench this season, basically all players have maintained a certain amount of physical reserves." Leuthard shook his head and said: "But I have calculated The average running distance of Liverpool's players per game, Manchester United does not have much advantage in this regard."

Sun Wu nodded. This was also what he expected. Liverpool can also form two attacking lineups in the midfield and frontcourt. Firmino, Coutinho, Sturridge, Gotze, Lallana, Shinji Kagawa, Depay, the midfielder also includes Henderson, Delph, Emre Can and Nzonzi.

"Relatively speaking, Liverpool's defense is the weakest among the three lines." McFerran commented carefully: "But Liverpool made up for this in the second half of the season."

Everyone nodded silently. After Liverpool lost the double red match in January, they spent 30 million pounds to introduce the "former" Manchester United central defender Bailly. This central defender with excellent physical fitness quickly became a first-class central defender in the Premier League. Liverpool was able to eliminate Manchester City, and Bailey made great contributions.

The other center back is Matip competing with Lovren and Gomez. The left back belongs to Robertson. Moreno is basically unable to play in the game now. The right backs on the other side, Piszczek and Arnold, start in rotation. The technical characteristics are very different.

Sun Wuqu raised his fingers and tapped the table slowly. In his mind, the three Double Red Games were a copy and should be connected together instead of being divided into three parts.

There is no need to think about using physical strength to destroy Liverpool. Klopp's team has always been one of the most capable teams in Europe, unless Liverpool suddenly suffers a large number of injuries.

It is difficult to innovate in terms of tactics. At most, Klopp will have to guess whether Manchester United will be 343 or 4231 today, but no matter which one, Klopp will definitely be prepared.

In terms of hard power, Sun Wu is confident of defeating Liverpool.

The problem is that this is a double red meeting, and the factors that affect victory or defeat do not only depend on hard power.

But one thing is certain, the first double red game will be the FA Cup semi-finals, and the winner must be determined in this game.

Neither Klopp nor Sun Wu would find it difficult to accept a draw and another game in the sprint stage of the season.

For Manchester United and Liverpool, who both hope to lift the Big Ears Cup, if this semi-final is tied, they will have to wait until mid-May for another game, which will have a great negative impact on the FA Cup final and the Champions League final.
