Football: The strongest post-zero generation.

On the afternoon of December 2018, 12, the 16th round of the Premier League officially kicked off, and a large number of fans began to pour into Anfield Stadium. The Red Army Liverpool will face the challenge of the Red Devils Manchester United at their home court today.

Because of the radical fans of the two teams after the Munich air disaster and Hillsborough tragedy in the last century, Liverpool and Manchester United have already been on the same page.

Interestingly, two English clubs at the same time gave birth to two rival Scottish coaches in the last century: Ferguson and Dalglish. These are two Scots with very strong personalities and a strong desire to win.

Because Ferguson won his first league title only after seven years of coaching Manchester United, and Dalglish held Ferguson firmly in charge when coaching Liverpool.

Later, Dalglish went to Blackburn and took the championship away from Ferguson. From then on, the two became natural enemies.

Later, Dalglish became a TV commentator. He often attacked Ferguson in the media, which made the relationship between the two even more intense.

It is also because of this that Sir Alex Ferguson famously said: "The greatest achievement in my life is to kick Liverpool off its fucking throne!"

The coach is like this, and the players of the two teams also have deep hatred for each other. Rooney once said that he has hated Liverpool since he was a child, because Everton, where he debuted, is also Liverpool's mortal enemy in the same city.

Gerrard, the legendary captain of Liverpool, once said: "On my first day at Liverpool, someone told me to hate everything about Manchester United, their players, coaches, fans, and even their mascot!"

As for the later grievances between Suarez and Evra, Torres and Vidic, etc., they all left a strong color in the collision history accumulated by the Double Red Club.

It is precisely because of this that the significance of the Double Red Club battle has long been higher than the significance of football itself. It is also because of this that the Double Red Club will look particularly different every year.

So after Liverpool defeated Hoffenheim, Liverpool fans had already planned to 'receive' the arrival of their old rival Manchester United.

In this atmosphere, the two teams announced the starting lineup for this game in advance.

Liverpool's starting goalkeeper is Alisson, the defenders are Klein, Van Dijk, Lovren and Robertson, the midfielders are Fabinho, Naby Keita and Shaqiri, and the forward trident is Mane, Firmino and Li Qing .

Mignolet, Moreno, Lallana, Milner, Wijnaldum, Camacho and Sturridge are waiting to be called on the bench.

For Manchester United, the starting goalkeeper is De Gea, the defense is composed of Lindelof, Smalling, and Damian, and the midfielder Matic, Herrera, Dalot and Ashley Young are lined up. , Lingard, Lukaku and Rashford are on the forward line.

Romero, Bailly, Valencia, Pogba, Mata, Fellaini and Martial were on the bench.

Both sides used the strongest lineups they could field, which made the fans watching the game even more excited. Former Manchester United coach Ferguson and former Manchester United CEO David Gill were sitting in the audience.

Liverpool CEO Peter Moore, owner John Henry and proprietress Linda Pizzuti and other club executives also sat in the KOP stands.

The appearance of these people is enough to show that both sides are looking forward to today's Double Red Meeting.

The referee of this game, 'The Punisher' Atkinson, is already in place. This card-dealing machine has officiated 13 Premier League games this season and handed out 43 yellow cards and 1 red card. It can also be seen that the English football team Always attach great importance to this game.

As Atkinson blew the whistle, the game began. Players from both sides quickly entered the game. Only two minutes after the opening, Firmino shot from the right side of the Manchester United penalty area. The ball hit the Manchester United player and bounced out of the baseline.

Two minutes later, Manchester United retaliated. Lukaku received a free kick and hit the ball low in the penalty area. Although the ball entered the net, it was ruled invalid because of offside.

In the following game, Liverpool's players seemed very excited. Firmino, Mane, Fabinho and others continued to put pressure on the Manchester United goal. For a while, there was a commotion in front of the Manchester United goal.

Li Qing seemed a little slow on the court, which was a problem with Klopp's formation today.

Today's Liverpool midfielders are all three players who transferred over in the summer. This is the first time that Li Qing and the three of them have started a game at the same time. There is no tacit understanding between them.

In addition, Klopp placed Mane as the right winger today, which was originally Li Qing's best position, and Firmino's position on the field is not fixed at the center, so Li Qing's position today It's between center and left winger.

Therefore, Firmino often couldn't help but move back during the game, while Shaqiri, who was eager to express himself in the midfield, rushed to the front. Li Qing often had to fill in, which affected his performance.

Therefore, in the first fifteen minutes, Liverpool seemed to have the advantage on the field, but in fact the frontcourt offense was a bit chaotic, and the chaos in the frontcourt offense would lead to chaos in the defense, as evidenced by Lukaku's almost scoring in the fourth minute. .

Li Qing is the captain of the team today. He can clearly see from the front of the court that Firmino and Mane are moving back, so he becomes the center forward on the court.

As a center forward, scoring goals has become his only purpose on the court. There is no room for failure in today's game. Maybe scoring a goal now can calm the emotions of his teammates on the court.

But so far, Li Qing has not touched the ball a few times. Today's midfield teammates are really a little too active.

But this doesn't bother Li Qing. Since he can't receive the pass from his teammates, he might as well grab one himself!

At this time, Manchester United launched an attack on the field. Rashford took the ball in the midfield, and Li Qing stopped him.

Facing his teammates in the national team, Rashford wanted to break through Li Qing. As a coach in the same position as Li Qing in the club and national team, he had enough energy today and wanted to overshadow Li Qing in the limelight, so He started with the ball quickly.

Li Qing didn't move when facing Rashford dribbling the ball. Even if he didn't have the talent to steal the ball, Li Qing was confident that he could easily steal the opponent's ball. Rashford's dribbling skills were as rough as ever. With such little ability, you actually want to break through yourself?

Sure enough, Master La, who wanted to penetrate Li Qing's crotch, brought the ball directly to Li Qing's leg and bounced it out. Master La, who had lost the ball, turned around and tried to get the ball back, but his speed could not compare with Li Qing's already started. Li Qing?

With one movement of his body, Li Qing blocked Rashford behind him, and then pushed the ball forward. He got rid of Rashford, and then accelerated forward to face Manchester United's defense.
