Chapter 926

"Anfield is not a stadium, it's a holy land. These people are not just fans, they are more like our family ——Bill Shankly

Anfield!

One of the most terrifying stadiums in Europe!

From entering the dressing room, Gao Xiaodong felt the difference of this stadium.

The visiting team's dressing room is very simple, which is normal. No team wants to make their opponents comfortable. However, the visiting team's dressing room at Liverpool is not only simple, but also has a memorial board hanging on the wall, which records the time and overview of the game in detail.

It's just giving the visiting team a bad impression.

The passage from the dressing room to the court is extremely narrow. Above it is the famous sign "this is Anfield". This sign was set up in the era of Shankly. The legendary manager of Liverpool in the 1970s and 1980s wanted to use this way to remind his players who they are playing for and who they are fighting against.

When they came out, the Liverpool players were very devout when they passed by to pat the mark for good luck.

No one knows if this mark can really bring good luck to the Red Army, but one thing is certain, it must bring great psychological pressure to the visiting players.

As the two main centre backs Ferdinand and Vidic are in the examination, the captain's armband is temporarily worn on Gao Xiaodong's arm.

Both players are in the referee. After Dodd came out, the captain came out to exchange flags and badges.

Gerrard saw that the Manchester United captain was not Vidic and Ferdinand, but Gao Xiaodong, who was familiar with him. He sneered: "is it true that no one in Manchester United can be captain?"

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile, "that's why Sir Alex feels that playing a middle team doesn't need a good captain."

Gerrard is not a man who plays tricks on his lips. Listening to Gao Xiaodong's words, he pressed the flag and badge heavily into Gao Xiaodong's hand. "The middle team will give you a lesson that you will never forget today."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "good! I hope your feet are as good as your mouth

When Gao Xiaodong and Gerrard exchanged flags and badges on the field, he Hui, a live commentator who introduced the history of the team for half a day, was inspired and began to introduce the starting lineups of both sides to the fans and speculate on their tactics.

"Today, Liverpool is a 451 position: goalkeeper: 25 Reina

guard: 2 Glen Johnson, 23 Carragher, 37 Skrtel, 6 Aurelio

midfield: 18 Kuyt, 21 Lucas, 4 Meireles, 8 Gerrard, 17 Maxi Rodriguez

forward: 7 Suarez

Red King daglishgo However, although he wanted to win the game very much, his platoon arrangement was not radical, but a very pragmatic 451 formation. It seems that Dalglish has a clear understanding of the strength gap and state between the two sides, and has not been defeated by desire.

Before the game, Dalglish has always said that Gerrard has a groin injury and is likely to be unable to play, but now Gerrard is alive on the court. It seems that Dalglish is a smoke bomb.

From this small detail, we can see that Dalglish has made a very full preparation for this game.

Let's take a look at the list of Manchester United players:

goalkeeper: No.1 Edwin van der Sar

guard: No.3 Evra, No.12 Smalling, No.6 brown, No.21 Rafael

midfield: No.11 Giggs, No.10 Gao Xiaodong, No.16 Carrick, No.17 Nani

forward: No.7 Rooney, No.9 Berbatov

this is a 442 formation, which is the most concerned about On the defensive position, there is a combination of Smalling and brown. This combination has never appeared in the league and the Champions League this season. It is a temporary patchwork, and there is no way, because Ferdinand, Vidic and Evans have all been injured. No matter O'Shea, Smalling or brown, it is estimated that the effect is almost the same.

In the attack, Sir Alex was more trusting of Berbatov in the big fight, and Hernan's des still needs to feel the atmosphere of the double red clubs on the bench.

Now the ceremony before the game is over, Xiaodong has returned to his half court. From his position, he should play at the back of the midfield today. There is no way. The position of the centre back is unstable. Ferguson must strengthen the defensive strength at the back of the midfield. However, because gaoxiaodong retreats, the veteran Paul Scholes has to sit on the bench, and Giggs will play at the edge and forward to increase the defensive strength The attack power of the road.

What's more surprising is that Xiaodong wears the captain's armband again. If we say that the reason why Xiaodong wears the captain's armband in the Champions League against Inter is because Xiaodong is facing his old club, then it's a bit intriguing for Xiaodong to wear the captain's armband this time, because Rooney and Evra are also vice captains. We're not sure whether Sir Alex intended it or not, but from this arrangement we can see that, In Sir Alex's mind, Gao Xiaodong is superior to Wayne Rooney and Evra, or to Fletcher on the benchHe Hui is introducing, referee Phil. Dodd's whistle sounded, the 156 th League Red Cross officially opened the curtain.

Manchester United and Liverpool have played twice in the league and FA Cup this season. They both won at home. Manchester United also gave Liverpool the second largest score in history. Gao Xiaodong scored a hat trick.

After the opening, the first Liverpool player to kick off quickly pushed forward and launched a fierce attack on Manchester United.

Liverpool also know that Manchester United's centre back is a soft spot, their attack is very direct, the ball from the side to the middle, let their forward and inserted midfield to grab points.

In the second minute of the game, Liverpool got a shot from the middle.

Meile Leisi pulls to the flank to swing after the Giggs, does not have the bottom, passes directly to the forbidden area.

Manchester United's centre backs amarin and Brown are temporarily combined because of the injuries of Ferdinand and Vidic. Amarin is young and impetuous, Brown is old and injured, and they have little time to cooperate. After meleres broke through Giggs this time, the versatile defender Brown moved to the side to prevent meleres from breaking through the bottom, but amarin did not follow brown in time Moving, the result between the two stands a little big, meleres's pass just hit the two in the empty space.

Suarez, who is at the top of the center, has just joined Liverpool, but his integration is very fast. He wants to be excellent in reading the game and running consciousness. When meleres passes the ball, he immediately runs to the empty space and just grabs the landing place.

Today, Gao Xiaodong returned to the back position, but any position is not a problem for Gao Xiaodong, comprehensive technology can be at any position, but the two centre backs of the back line and his partner are few, Carrick has not played many games this season, Gao Xiaodong can not form a tacit understanding with them for a time.

When brown moves to the side, Gao Xiaodong blocks the gap left by Brown for the first time to prevent the players inserted in the midfield from seizing the point. He thinks that Smalling will definitely follow brown.

Never thought that Smalling didn't keep up, he was dogmatically staring at Liverpool center Suarez.

Smalling is 1.94 meters tall and Suarez is 1.82 meters tall. It's very difficult for Smalling to keep an eye on him. At the moment of meleres' passing, Suarez suddenly starts and throws Smalling away. When Smalling turns over, Suarez has already thrown Smalling away by two meters.

It's disastrous for the defender to be two meters away from the forward, which means the defender can't complete any defensive action.

Suarez's escape is very fast, but he and meleres are also lack of tacit understanding. Suarez's snatch is one step faster, and the ball directly hits Suarez's leg. Before Suarez comes and starts, the ball flies to the goal.

Suarez shot position in the small penalty area line, but the strength is a little small, angle is not tricky, van der Sar was breathtaking to the ground to save.

Seeing Suarez get a good chance to shoot in the second minute, there was a storm of applause in the stands at Anfield.

He Hui, the on-site commentator, exclaimed: "Manchester United's defense is a problem. The temporary partner of Smalling and Brown is unreliable. Gao Xiaodong and Carrick don't partner as much in the game as they do with Fletcher. I don't know why Sir Alex put Fletcher on the bench. If he plays like this, he will surely lose the ball."
