Volume 7 Chapter 63 Only for 3 Points

Manchester United is ready. This game has nothing to do with rankings. Even if they are at the top of the list and Liverpool is only fourth, once both sides go all out, it can be even more tragic than the championship.

Outside Old Trafford, a caricature of Gerrard sprayed with egg liquid appeared, hanging high above the stadium, at the same height as the heads of the three legendary Manchester United statues.

It was obvious to give Liverpool fans eye drops, and such a cartoon was also used as a front page headline by the "Manchester Evening News" before the game-even in the Manchester derby, this Manchester United mouthpiece did not say anything too radical to declare war. You can look down on Manchester City, which relies on money to make a fortune, from the bottom of your heart, and maintain a sense of superiority as an aristocrat, but when you meet Liverpool—when two nobles with grievances meet each other and want to fight for life and death, tear off this superficial superiority Feeling is what the English football media should be like.

On the Liverpool side, Zhou Tiancheng was turned into a weak chicken who was knocked down by Gerrard, who was a strong man. The media on both sides even fought with each other, neither of them wanted to lose to the other.

Like the Manchester Evening News front page headline on game day - welcome to the sad place: Old Trafford.

Coupled with the photo of Gerrard being sprayed with egg liquid all over his face. Both sides are trying their best to spoof each other's core, Gerrard does not have any preferential treatment at the moment, even though he has been the core of England's "Three Lions" for many years.

After arriving at Old Trafford, Gerrard was even more high-profile than the head coach Rogers. After all, Brendan Rogers had most of his previous experience in coaching the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League or the English Championship. Watford, Reading, the only The rich experience is Chelsea, but it is only the Chelsea reserve team, and there is no particularly prominent coaching experience. This is destined to be impossible for him to behave arrogantly in front of reporters like Mourinho. It is his nature to be low-key. Even in the face of the aggressive attitude of the Manchester media, he was asked to talk about how to limit Zhou Tiancheng.

This is a question that Manchester United's home media use to give eye drops to the opposing coach, to prevent Zhou Tiancheng? Even Simeone, Mourinho, Guardiola, including Van Gaal himself, have not researched any effective methods.

However, Rogers behaved like a traditional gentleman in England. He just smiled and affirmed Zhou Tiancheng: "Of course, the only goal is to win three points at Old Trafford. Zhou is of course the top priority. Prevent his Only when it breaks out can we have a chance, so research on him is essential."

Before the game, he tried to talk without success. Although Rogers maintained his demeanor, his tone was very strict. The seemingly useless nonsense can be summed up in a few words: I am prepared, but I just won’t tell you!

Compared with him, Gerrard's attitude is much more direct. Speaking of Zhou Tiancheng, this is the opponent he will face directly, Gerrard said directly: "On this planet, no one who knows a little about football will deny Zhou is excellent, but this does not prove that he can dominate a game, he does not understand the duel between Liverpool and Manchester United, he still needs time to familiarize himself with what double reds are."

Gerald holds his head high, Rogers has a gentlemanly attitude, and his attitude reveals a clear sense of superiority-arrogance and prejudice.

Show off your superiority in front of Zhou Tiancheng? This time the Chinese fans didn't react too aggressively. Gerrard's current ability and reputation are not weak. In terms of experience in the Double Red Club, I am afraid that there is no one who understands better than him in these two teams. .

Like Carragher, who has now transformed into a commentator, he returned to the Liverpool youth academy at the age of fifteen, played for the first team at the age of eighteen, and has never been transferred. He has played for 17 seasons so far. Has already become the soul of Anfield.

And Gerrard is not the same as Carragher. He had a little-known intersection with Manchester United-he joined the Liverpool youth academy at the age of nine, and at the age of fourteen, he came to the Manchester United youth academy to wait for him. A year later, at that time, several legends of "Class 92" had already attracted attention, but Gerrard did not stay,

Coincidentally, a year later, his talent was discovered by Liverpool again, and the youth training camp entered the palace for the second time. This is absolutely rare in European football.

Of course, this is just a joke, this is destined to run into Manchester United, Liverpool will not keep their hands, Gerrard will not.

...

It was the turn of Manchester United's pre-match press conference. Van Gaal played with some suspense this time. When the reporters focused on Zhou Tiancheng and Gerrard, the two old and new legends, Van Gaal expressed his position unceremoniously. : "The game is for every player on the field, and I don't think Zhou and Steven Gerrard are the same type of player. Zhou is the most comprehensive player I have ever seen, not only offensive, but also defensive ability. Top. No chance of mistakes against a team like Liverpool, so tomorrow you will see something different."

But Van Gaal deliberately made a fool of himself. What was the difference? The reporter asked, but Van Gaal directly passed the microphone to Zhou Tiancheng.

If he wanted to avoid talking, the reporters would naturally not ask too many questions. No one wanted to provoke Van Gaal's temper, so everyone could only throw more questions to Zhou Tiancheng.

"Zhou, let's talk about Steven Gerrard. This is the opponent you are about to face. He said that you don't understand the double-red matchup. Do you have anything to say?"

Zhou Tiancheng no matter who his opponent is and what kind of answer he wants him to give, at this time he nodded lightly: "He is right, this is the first time I have experienced the double red meeting, he is a great legend of Liverpool, the whole career It's too difficult to only play for one club in your career. When I faced the Ruhr Derby for the first time, I thought so too, but then I found out that the Ruhr Derby is nothing special. Maybe this matchup There are some differences, but it will not go beyond the rules of victory... Only three points can satisfy us, Liverpool should not come to pursue how to lose the game, right? I am a rookie in the Premier League, do you know if I am right?"

The expressions of the reporters at the scene began to become very exciting, but Zhou Tiancheng kept watching the reporter who asked him a question, and when he saw the reporter nodding happily, he also smiled. It seems that this is one of our own.

Of course there will be Liverpool reporters, they will be very unhappy, but they will not show it when there are obviously more Manchester United reporters around them than them, they just ask one more question in pretended kindness: "Zhou, is the self-confidence because of the ranking? Manchester United and Liverpool have never been able to predict results by ranking, and it is not Manchester United now."

Zhou Tiancheng raised the corner of his mouth, the other party didn't realize that the last sentence had been exposed, Zhou Tiancheng replied unceremoniously: "But if we don't have this confidence, then why should we play? Although it's my first time Going through the double red meeting, but I know what it means-we are the Red Devils, the red madmen, the opponent's nightmare, if Liverpool think they are better than us, let them come here, this is Old Trafford, we take it.
