Chapter 576 This is Anfield

Anfield Stadium, the most popular stadium in the world, is famous all over the world for the phrase "This is Anfield~~ This is Anfield", and the song "You will never walk alone" in the stands never stops.

In the history of Liverpool, there are many great names, but there is one person who is indeed No.1 recognized by all Liverpool people, Bill Shankly, and the statue of Shankly erected at Anfield Stadium tells the world how great Shankly is.

Shankly is known as the godfather of Liverpool. Because of Shankly's appearance, there is today's Liverpool. In February 1959, the great Shankly took over Liverpool, which was struggling in the second division. It was from then on that Liverpool began to rise and eventually became the most successful club in England before the Premier League.

Now in charge of Liverpool is the former Liverpool "King" Kenny Dalglish. Whether in the player period or in the coaching period, Dalglish has achieved great success in Liverpool.

On the afternoon of November 11th, English time, Manchester City players were preparing to appear at Anfield. This was the first time Li Feng came to Anfield. When he saw the statues outside the stadium at Old Trafford and Anfield, Li Feng couldn't help thinking that he wondered if he could erect such a statue belonging to him in the team he played for in the future.

Although Anfield is famous, the interior of the stadium is actually not that big, even smaller than Manchester City's home stadium, which can only accommodate about 45000 people.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Van Basten frowned deeply, and the atmosphere of the team was a bit dignified. The Champions League has already qualified, and the league has broken the record for the longest start. It stands to reason that Van Basten and the players should not have such a performance.

All of this is caused by those damn media. Indeed, Manchester City has broken the dust-laden 50-game winning streak at the beginning, but the problem has emerged again, that is, the longest winning streak in the Premier League and the longest winning streak in the five major European leagues. Among them, Li Feng himself participated in the record of the five major leagues, which is the 09 consecutive victories in the Bundesliga in the 10-18 season.

Of course~~~ If you want to launch an impact on the 18-game winning streak, you have to pass Liverpool first. You know, Liverpool is a veritable killer of strong teams this season.

At present, Liverpool has played against Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea successively. Liverpool's record is two wins and one tie. Except for Manchester United taking one point, Arsenal and Chelsea have all stumbled on Liverpool.

Facing such Liverpool, coupled with the pressure of the winning streak, it is no wonder that the Manchester City players are performing at the moment. It is not that Van Basten has tried to reduce the pressure on the players, but the effect is not great, otherwise the current Manchester City players would not be like this.

Of course~~~ Not everyone is like this, like Li Feng, he is quite relaxed at the moment, this is the benefit of a big heart, this is Li Feng's self-confidence that distinguishes ordinary players.

At the same time, like Li Feng, there is Balotelli, who seems quite heartless at the moment, holding a mirror in his hand, and then keeps making various expressions, completely immersed in the world of I am a super handsome guy.

At this moment, how much Van Basten hoped that other players could learn from Li Feng and Balotelli, but soon Van Basten dispelled this idea. Although Li Feng is not funny, he is not a worry-free life on the court, Balotelli needless to say.

"Forget it~~~ Anyway, I don't plan to win this game, let's see how they play." In fact, after discussing with the coaching staff, maybe losing this game may not be a bad thing for Manchester City.

You know, in the past few years, Manchester City and Liverpool have played against Liverpool twelve times. Among the twelve times, Manchester City only defeated Liverpool last year.

Of course, no matter what he thought in his heart, on the surface he still had to do everything. Whether it was tactical arrangements or battlefield encouragement, Van Basten did not behave the same as usual.

On the other hand, Liverpool is completely different from Manchester City. Liverpool only defeated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the last round.

Following the referee Atkinson, the players from both sides officially debuted. With the appearance of the players in Liverpool, you will never walk alone and the KOP sounded in the loyal stands of Liverpool.

Liverpool lineup: 451
Goalkeeper: Reina

Defenders: Enrique, Agger, Skrtel, Glenn Johnson

Midfielders: Downing, Lucas, Charlie Adam, Henderson, Dirk
Forward: Suarez

Henderson caused competition between Manchester United and Liverpool this summer. Unfortunately, because of Li Feng, Manchester United lost the opportunity, and finally Henderson joined Liverpool.

Tang Ning, England's typical age may not be good when he is young. This guy just stunned the whole of England, but now he is a member of the crowd. This season, he was transferred to Liverpool with a worth of 2000 pounds. It is a pity that he did not show the ability to match his worth. From the current point of view, the signings of the Liverpool Kings this season are really unsatisfactory.

Manchester City lineup: 433
Goalkeeper: Joe Hart
Defenders: Clichy, Kompany, Lescott, Richards

Midfielders: De Jong, Yaya Toure, Li Feng

Forwards: Silva, Balotelli, Aguero

Although the Midweek Champions Cup was scored twice by Naples, Lescott's performance was remarkable, so in this game, Van Basten still arranged for the England central defender to start. In other respects, Silva and Aguero returned to the main lineup.

A day ago, Wales coach Gary Speed ​​committed suicide at home. Therefore, before the start of the game, players from both sides mourned for Speed ​​and wore black veils. Bellamy even asked for leave and returned to Wales. Therefore, Bellamy did not appear on the scene in this game.

However, when Atkinson blew the whistle to start the game, the two sides immediately put away this warmth and launched the most direct and intense collision.

The Manchester City team is young and lacks honor, which makes Manchester City particularly hungry in the face of honor, but it is precisely because of this that they lose their sense of normalcy.

In Manchester City's lineup, the oldest is the 28-year-old central defender Lescott, and the youngest is Balotelli, born in 90, who is only 24 years old in a draw.

It's not that Li Feng doesn't know his teammates' mood at the moment, but he didn't expect that this game would be so serious that even Silva, who is usually the calmest, was a little impatient.

After Li Feng crossed the middle circle with the ball, he attracted a lot of defense, and then split the side with his foot. After Silva got the ball, he actually passed the ball directly to Balotelli, who was pressing in front of the penalty area. You must know that there are still a lot of gaps in front of Silva. Silva can completely bottom or cut inside.
