Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Derby is really a unique game. Judging from the overall record, Liverpool has four wins, two draws and one loss in the league, Champions League and Community Shield. Even by the standards of wealthy clubs, this is reasonable, but because  This loss was to Derby rival Everton. As a result, in the eyes of fans and media, Liverpool's performance was almost unqualified. The players themselves were extremely frustrated, as if they had lost a championship.  On the Internet, Liverpool fans angrily criticized the poor performance of the players. They believed that at least half of the starting players were not worthy of the jerseys they wore. Some fans thought that the head coach was too conservative and actually photographed players who had just recovered from injuries.  On the field, some fans thought that the players were intimidated at Goodison Park. They didn't even get a red card, and no one from Everton was injured.  Yes, according to statistics, in the history of matches between Liverpool and Everton, players have received red cards basically every season. They have also received the most red cards in all derbies in the Premier League. Last season, captain Gerrard  He was sent off with a red card. In the eyes of the fans, even if he can't win the game, he shouldn't be too cowardly and at least make his opponent pay the price.  Reporters also believed that this derby was the worst derby that Liverpool had played in the past ten years. Even the one they lost in 2004 was better than this one. The reporter from "The Sun" used the word "funny" to describe it.  Describe Liverpool's performance.  "The score is 3:0, but these three opportunities were created by Liverpool's own players. The performance of the Red Army defenders was like a bunch of funny people. They rushed to make mistakes and gave gifts to their opponents. With the performance of the opponent's defenders, Ever  It¡¯s a bit unreasonable not to win.¡± The reporter from ¡°The Sun¡± did not let go of Liverpool¡¯s forward, ¡°Liverpool had a total of 22 shooting opportunities in this game, but no matter Crouch, Fowler or Cuy.  It is difficult for Teddy to create too much threat in front of the opponent's goal. The Red Army's ability to seize opportunities is obviously not as good as the opponent's midfielder. This has been Liverpool's stubborn problem for many years. Before the game, many people hoped that Kuyt could change this situation. Now  It seems that the Dutchman who was introduced as a substitute for China Chen cannot complete this task. "Liverpool caused a tragedy for themselves, but it brought joy to fans around the world. The Times named Liverpool goalkeeper Lei in this game.  The picture of Renner's "holding the ball and assisting" was placed in a prominent position, and it was juxtaposed with Sheffield United's three missed penalty kicks. It was believed that Renner's performance could be nominated for the best assist of the season.  The "Guardian" believes that the reason why Liverpool is so frustrated is not only because the derby is too special, but also because the performance of its competitors is so good. In this round, Chelsea and Manchester United both won. Although Arsenal did not win,  But they also got one point. After four rounds, Manchester United topped the list with four consecutive wins, Portsmouth and Everton ranked second and third, Chelsea ranked fourth, and Liverpool and Arsenal have fallen to seven places.  It has only been four rounds, and Manchester United has opened up a 5-point gap over Liverpool. Chelsea is also 2 points ahead of Liverpool. In the next round, Liverpool will go to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea, with 2 points in hand, is obviously more proactive.  Once Liverpool loses, they are likely to be 8 points behind Manchester United.  In Benitez's plan, Chen Yu, a big killer, will definitely not be able to participate in the first half. What Liverpool need to do most is not to be left too far behind by competitors before Chen Yu returns from injury, so he does not hesitate to spend money.  9 million pounds attracted Kuyt, but now it seems that his plan is almost in vain. If this continues, it is very likely that Chen Yu will find that the hero has no place to play when he returns.  Chen Yu, who is far away in the United States, also felt the crisis. When being interviewed by reporters, he encouraged his teammates to hold on. Chen Yu said: "Liverpool lost, I am very sad. Although I did not participate in the game, my feelings  Like the players and fans on the court, it's very sad, but I hope my teammates can hold on. Although the derby is important, it is just a game. The league has just passed four rounds. We must work hard and don't lose confidence. I will soon  He will recover and wait for me to fight side by side with you!¡± Then on the new social media Facebook, Chen Yu uploaded his profile picture and used a great man¡¯s poem to encourage his teammates, ¡°The Red Army is not afraid of expeditions.  Difficult, thousands of rivers and thousands of mountains just wait.¡±  Obviously, Benitez saw Chen Yu's anxiety. When he held a press conference on Monday, Benitez hoped that Chen Yu would not be anxious and be patient in recuperating. Liverpool can still cope with the current difficulties, but Chen Yu will be needed later.  There is still a lot of time. Liverpool needs a healthy Chen Yu. Later, Benitez also cited the example of the alien Ronaldo. He hopes that Chen Yu will take a warning and not blindly come back. Liverpool is willing to wait for him, even if he loses one or two.  It doesn't matter if you are a champion.  Benitez's words are indeed touching. Although Liverpool fans are looking forward to Chen Yu's return, they are also afraid of Ronaldo's comeback. They all support Benitez's suggestion and write letters to Chen Yu to wish him well.  In DerbyIn the next three days, Chen Yu received as many as 3,000 letters from Liverpool fans and feather fans around the world, forcing Zhang Shubin to find someone to reply to these letters on his behalf.  Fans and Benitez both hoped that Chen Yu could recover from his injuries and not be anxious, but Liverpool's players were too weak. In the next match against PSV Eindhoven in the first Champions League group stage match, Liverpool was defeated by PSV Eindhoven away from home.  0:0 tie.  Facing the strongest opponent in the group stage, getting one point away from home is not too bad, but the striker's failure to score for two consecutive rounds made Benitez and the fans angry, because they will go to Stamford Bridge in the next round.  Chelsea, facing the Blues whose defensive strength is more than twice as good as PSV, can Liverpool's forward perform well in such a state?  Neither Benitez nor the fans have confidence in these generals on the front line.  The red-blue battle between Liverpool and Chelsea is certainly not as deep-rooted as the crimson-red battle between Liverpool and Manchester United, but the grievances between the two coaches are deeper than the grievances between the clubs.  As the two head coaches who have collided most frequently after landing in the Premier League, Mourinho and Benitez can be regarded as the opponents who know each other best.  After 11 encounters in just two years, the two sides quickly developed a deep hatred. The two did not even shake hands before and after the game. Even mediation by the FA had no effect.  In this contest, Liverpool, which had just suffered a disastrous defeat in the Derby and was tied in the Champions League, could no longer afford to lose. Before the game, Benitez wanted to reduce the pressure on his players. He put down his body and took the lead in expressing his feelings to Mourinho.  The gesture of peace.  He sent a message to Mourinho through the media and wanted to shake hands with him again.  "At the end of the game, I will wait on the sidelines, waiting for him to reach out. If he is not willing, then I will reach out first." But the crazy Mourinho did not appreciate it. He responded: "If it is just to cooperate with the broadcast camera  Shake hands, it's a bit of a hypocrite, I'm not ready. I don't care about the public image, what matters is the inner decision. When both parties feel that they should apologize for the past, then I am ready no matter what the atmosphere is.  Right or wrong, it's worth trying. I'm ready to shake hands before and after the game. But I'm not a hypocrite! My family is committed to this basic value, and so is my wife.  To the kids. Maybe we still don't speak to each other, we don't even look at each other when the game is over, just for the first time.  The cute headline in the newspaper the next day, 'Mourinho and Benitez are good friends,' was not what I wanted. "On the contrary, he hopes that this time Benitez's proposed handshake is from the heart."  Carefully weigh your actions.  "If I go home and I'm a little bit regretful about what I said to Benitez, and at the same time he's thinking: I shouldn't have said that to Mourinho. That's fine, why should we be enemies?  So we didn¡¯t have to wait for the game. We shook hands in private, without cameras, chatted with each other for a few minutes, and left everything before behind But the game is the fundamental, and this is better than what happened between me and Benitez.  "The handshake is much more important." Benitez was not angry because the madman didn't give him face. He said calmly: "That's what George (Mourinho) is like. This is his character. There's no reason to shake hands."  It is his personal decision, and I am different from him. If he comes to Anfield, I will take the initiative to shake his hand and let him get the etiquette that a guest should receive. But George is right, the game is fundamental, he is more important than shaking hands,  We cannot afford to lose this game on Sunday, and we cannot lose again, otherwise we may be opened wider by Manchester United. I hope Arsenal can stop Manchester United, but that is very difficult. Arsenal is in the same difficulty as us.  "We should put our hope in ourselves instead of eager for the opponent to fail." The red-blue battle between Liverpool and Chelsea is definitely the focus of the fifth round of the Premier League, but good things always come in pairs in the Premier League, and this round's focus is not.  Not only the match between Liverpool and Chelsea, the confrontation between Manchester United and Arsenal is not inferior to the red-blue war at all, and the grievances between Manchester United coach Ferguson and Arsenal coach Wenger are not at all smaller than Mourinho and Benitez.  Among the top four in the Premier League, Mourinho and Ferguson have similar personalities and a good relationship. Mourinho even disdains to shake hands with Benitez, but will drink a glass of red wine with Ferguson after the game; while Wenger and Benitez have a good relationship.  Niites has a similar personality. Both of them are gentle and have a handsome style. The relationship between the two is also good. Although they don't have a glass of wine together after the game, they appreciate each other.  Arsenal are now in a similar situation to Liverpool. They have one win, one loss and two draws in the first four rounds, 7 points less than Manchester United. They are now only ranked 11th. If they cannot beat Manchester United at the weekend, they are likely to exit after five rounds.  In the championship battle, in this game between Arsenal and Manchester United, Arsenal is fighting for themselves and for Liverpool, so Liverpool coach Benitez said before the game:?Support Wenger and hope Arsenal beat Manchester United.  Although Arsenal is the worst among the semi-finals, Wenger is still tough-talking. Before the game, facing Manchester United, which created the club's best start in 21 years, Wenger believed that we should not conclude so early that Manchester United will definitely continue.  Maintain your strength.  "For me, it's a little early to say that Manchester United are the favorites to win the Premier League. The only thing you can be sure of is that they are a consistently good team and have got off to a good start. These factors ensure that they are capable of winning.  A good result, but it is too early to draw conclusions after four games. You usually need 8 to 10 games to test the true strength of a team. We have just played three games, let's win this one.  , Manchester United only has 12 points. If we win, they will only be 4 points away. You can calculate it in your own way. This is my calculation. "Face Wenger's provocation, Ferguson did not fight back this time, maybe.  He only has Mourinho and Chelsea in his eyes now, and he no longer looks down on the Gunners who are 7 points behind them.  However, facing the "Gunners" who are not doing well in recent times, Sir Alex Ferguson will not give up the opportunity to add insult to injury. After all, as long as he wins, he can continue to lead the standings, secondly, he can create pressure on Chelsea, and thirdly, if Chelsea defeats Liverpool  , the title race is very likely to change from a four-nation romance to a "two dragons playing pearls" between Manchester United and Chelsea. This is a good thing that kills three birds with one stone. Sir Alex Ferguson will not fail to understand.
