Chapter 41 England's No. 1 Derby (Extra)

Liverpool's home match against Manchester United was the 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.

Apart from not scoring, he deserves the title of "England's No. derby".

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

Liverpool fans cheered Chen Yingxiong, believing that the person who had just transferred to the team had already experienced the true meaning of hatred between Manchester United and Liverpool, so he could say such words. He was obviously trying to provoke and stimulate Manchester United.

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

He was telling the truth.

This is his personality. Sometimes it makes people think that he is deliberately provoking, but in fact he is just arrogant and confident from the bottom of his heart...

What he said is correct - it should be like this. No matter who the opponent is, he must strive to win. Is it because of Manchester United that he has to raise his hand to surrender?

His only problem is to say things too hard. If he says, "I will try my best to defeat them no matter who the opponent is." Then there is no problem at all. But what he said, "I will defeat them anyway."

This means change, and it becomes as if victory is Chen Yingxiong's possession.

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

Manchester United and Chen Yingxiong also have some grudges - in the Champions League semi-finals last season, Napoli, where Chen Yingxiong was eliminated, broke into the Champions League final held at Wembley Stadium and finally won the Champions League championship.

Chen Yingxiong performed well in the Champions League final and scored a hat-trick. However, Manchester United fans would not think that in this way, Chen Yingxiong would be qualified and capable, and should eliminate Manchester United.

They will only remember the culprit that Chen Yingxiong missed Manchester United's Champions League. He scored one goal and one key assist in two rounds, helping Napoli eliminate Manchester United.

As the number one star in Naples, when enjoying such a false reputation, he must also bear the corresponding responsibility - there is a wrongdoing and debt, so the anger of Manchester United fans will naturally vent at Chen Yingxiong.

Not only did he lead Naples to eliminate Manchester United, he also joined Manchester United's arch rival Liverpool. In addition, Chen Yingxiong's words really confirm his identity as Manchester United's arch rival...

Although it was a away game, Manchester United fans still unyieldingly presented their boos to Chen Yingxiong.

"Chen Yingxiong was not affected by booing at all... Manchester United fans want to express their dislike for Chen Yingxiong in this way, but this method is completely ineffective for the heroes! Because in Naples, he has been trained by the crazy booing of the home team fans!" The Italian commentator laughed. "I think anyone who has been booed for a season in the São Paulo Stadium will probably no longer be afraid of booing and the so-called Hell Stadium..."

He said it right, but what else can those angry fans do besides booing him and scolding him?

Since Spanish football has endless competition between Messi and Ronaldo, why can't we establish such a pair of competitors in England?

And this England 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 if it was intentionally cooperating with the media’s hype or an unintentional coincidence.

Chen Yingxiong and Rooney worked very hard and desperately in the game, as if they knew their status in English football, and no one was willing to lose to each other.

Five minutes into the game, Rooney made a long shot, but the shot missed.

Three minutes later, Chen Yingxiong used a powerful shot from the penalty area to fight back, and the shot 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 the midfield and received a yellow card. If this was a normal game, Rooney would probably sit on the ground and spread her hands to express protest and helplessness. When he saw the referee taking out a yellow card to the opponent, he consciously got up from the ground.

But this is a derby, a match between Manchester United and Liverpool. So Rooney turned over and rushed from the ground and held Lucas' forehead!

Lucas was not showing any weakness, and Rooney was on his head, both of them were talking trash words in their mouths, staring at each other with wide eyes.

The players on both sides seemed to have been waiting for this signal. Seeing the two people holding up the bull on the court, they quickly joined in. The pushing and pushing and swearing, naturally, they were also inevitably scolding each other. Liverpool players accused Rooney of falling to the ground with exaggerated foul, while Manchester United players believed that Lucas had committed a malicious foul.

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

The referee is used to this scene - the hatred between Liverpool and Manchester United is an Englishman. He doesn't take it seriously. Such conflicts may be a great thing in other games, but in the national derby between Manchester United and Liverpool, it is just a very ordinary little episode.

He didn't even play 50 boards to the players on both sides, but he just showed a yellow card to Lucas who was fouled and gave all players a warning - even if this is a derby, such a foul is still not allowed!

As for the players on both sides involved in the conflict, no one is okay. He just called the captains of both teams, Carragher and Giggs, to remind them to pay attention to controlling their teammates' emotions and put the game first, otherwise he would not mind killing.

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

In terms of many physical contact and fierce scenes on the football field, the English referee's standards are relatively wide. Their first task is not to maintain fairness and justice of the game, but to make the game go smoothly and smoothly. Some movements are enough for yellow cards in La Liga. In England, the referee often shakes his index finger and signals the players who are lying on the ground to get up and continue the game.

Because of this, the pace of the Premier League is always fast, the fight is fierce, and the body is used very frequently. Those thin and technical players come to England to play football and are often uncomfortable. If they do not increase their physical strength and weight, they may not even have a chance to play in Premier League teams.

This is also why everyone says that if someone like Messi came to England, he would have been ruined long ago... In England, football is a pure manly sport, and body collisions, even broken arms and legs are all passionate blood. In the early years, those traditional England head coaches would shout to their players when they were directing the game on the sidelines: "Shoot according to his legs!" "Kick his ankle! Get that damn bastard down!" Such...

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

Chen Yingxiong discovered this - at the end of the first half, he took the ball at the front of the penalty area, and then he was slapped and tripped from behind by Leo Ferdinand, overturned to the ground, and naturally lost the possession of the ball.

According to his experience in playing football in the Italian league, he opened his arms to signal the opponent to foul, hoping to win a free kick for the team.

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

Daglish did not raise his arms high on the sidelines, signaling the referee to give Liverpool a free kick, but instead shouted at Chen Yingxiong: "Hero! Fuck you stand up for me! Run back!"

The Liverpool players on the court did not raise their hands to the referee to indicate that Chen Yingxiong had been violated, and they were desperately returning to defense.

Leo Ferdinand looked back at Chen Yingxiong, his eyes full of disdain: Boy, don’t think this is the kind of sissy thing like the Champions League! This is the Premier League! Everyone who plays football here is men! Men, do you understand?!

He also knocked Chen Yingxiong in the semi-finals and caused the team to be awarded a free kick and eventually lost the ball. He was also worried about the matter of being sent off by a red card...

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

His actions received applause from many Liverpool fans, and Daglish was also pleased with his performance, no longer yelling at him, and waved his arms to get him up from the ground.

The first half ended with frequent physical contact between players on both sides, although there was no goal. However, the English TV audience, commentator and fans on both sides of the game thought the first half was wonderful - this is the number one derby in England, and the game between Liverpool and Manchester United should be like this!

"It is worthy of being the number one derby in England!" The commentator of Sky TV in England sighed from the bottom of his heart.
