Restricted Superstar

On September 19th, fans all over the world focused on Manchester.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, the 180th England National Derby will kick off at the European Dream Theater Old Trafford.

According to the British "Daily Star", the game will be broadcast in one country and region, and the total number of fans following will reach an astonishing 800 million.

Although this number is not as large as the 1 billion spectators in the 2007 Arsenal vs. Manchester United match, it has surpassed the 400 million spectators of the Spanish national derby of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and also surpassed the 700 million spectators of the South African World Cup final.

This double red club can attract so many fans not only because the double red club is one of the most important games in the UK, but also because the Premier League has always been enthusiastically sought after in Asia. Previously, Manchester United had the Park Ji-sung round Dongzhuo, they were in the Far East. The region has a large number of fans, and after Gao Xiaodong joined Manchester United, he directly brought more than 100 million Chinese fans to Manchester United.

With so much attention and so many fans, security has become a top priority. Manchester City Government and Parliament have studied and decided to make every effort and manpower and material resources to ensure the security of the game and other work in an orderly manner. In addition, Old Trafford will implement special temporary regulations, and only about 5,000 Liverpool fans can enter the stadium with tickets. This move is also to avoid that if there are too many Liverpool fans, it will cause unhappiness and quarrels and group fights among Manchester United fans. After all, the lessons of the Heysel tragedy are not far away.

For the significance of this game, Liverpool coach Hodgson is very clear, but he called on the fans of the two teams to exercise restraint and do their best to give fans all over the world a game of the highest level. Hodgson said: "Football is very important, but it will never be higher than life. Whether it is in England or the rest of the world, this is the case. I hope fans can restrain. Especially Manchester United fans, please let us all together. Ensure the order of the stands and respect the Liverpool fans. Liverpool fans must learn to be magnanimous and never make any bad actions that are detrimental to the image of the team. I think we should respect each other. We are both the most popular team in the world. "

Hodgson’s remarks like this good old man will only be regarded as pedantic by the fans of both sides at this time. At this time, neither Manchester United nor Liverpool fans can calm down. What they need is to add fuel to the fire, not to pour cold water.

Compared with Hodgson, Gao Xiaodong is very familiar with fans. He wrote this sentence on his Twitter and Weibo: This is the first time I participate in the Double Red Society, can I become the most popular person?

What is imaginative is that Gao Xiaodong matched a picture of his massacre of AC Milan at Inter Milan below.

This is equivalent to a one-stone wave. The fans of Manchester United and Liverpool hated each other. They were very excited to see Gao Xiaodong playing such a high-profile game. They all expressed their support for Gao Xiaodong to lead Manchester United to slaughter Liverpool, breaking the record and putting Liverpool into relegation. District go.

Of course, Liverpool fans are not happy. They have left messages on Gao Xiaodong's Weibo and Twitter:

Whether you can become the most popular person is not easy to say, but you can definitely become the stupidest person!

Whether you can become the most popular person is not easy to say, but you can definitely become the stupidest person!

Whether you can become the most popular person is not easy to say, but you can definitely become the most arrogant person!

It's not easy to say whether you can become the most popular person, but you can definitely become the person who doesn't shoot!

...

The virtual internet is lively, but the reality is even more lively.

In order to watch this game, from three days ago, countless fans of Manchester United and Liverpool have arrived in Manchester City one after another. They wandered around in Manchester United and Liverpool jerseys, and caused trouble when they drank. The famous city made a miasma.

On the 19th, the number of domestic and foreign fans who arrived in Manchester reached its peak. There were almost 100,000 fans. The number of tickets that Old Trafford can provide is only 76,000 people. There are almost 20,000 fans who do not have the ball to watch. They are a big trouble for law and order.

At 12:30, the Old Trafford Stadium opened two hours ahead of schedule, allowing fans to enter the European Dream Theatre for pilgrimage, and at the same time, it can also prevent the fans from mixing up and fighting together.

At one o'clock, Sky Sports commentator Martin arrived at Old Trafford. He first introduced the grudges between Manchester United and Liverpool, the past history, the current situation of the two sides in the league, and the lineups of both sides. "

Martin is well-informed, even if he explains the major events like Manchester United and Liverpool, he is very relaxed, and from time to time he also teases the players on both sides of the list. "Manchester United roster: 1-Van der Sar; 22-O'Shea, 15-Vidic, 23-Evans, 3-Evra; 17-Nani, No. 10-Gao Xiaodong, 18-Scholes , 11-Giggs; 9-Berbatov, 7-Rooney.

Manchester United’s midweek rangers did not play veterans. The purpose is to deal with Liverpool. Now it is the main force except Valencia. Nani and Giggs are playing at the same time. I think it is possible that Nani will switch to the left. Fly on both wings, the back row plugged in to grab points, this was originally Manchester United's trick.

Gao Xiaodong and Scholes partner, it is estimated that the dual-core drive, Gao Xiaodong should be more defensive.

Fortunately, Evans replaced Ferdinand. After all, Ferdinand has just recovered from his injury. Sir Alex is still a little cautious. As for why O'Shea replaced Raphael to play right back, it is estimated that Ferguson should consider him young and inexperienced.

Now let's take a look at our Liverpool lineup, "Goalkeeper: No. 25 Reina; Defenders: No. 2 Glen Johnson, No. 37 Skrtel, No. 23 Carragher, No. 3 Koncheski; Midfielder No. 10 Joe Cole, No. 4 Meireles, No. 17 Maxi Rodriguez, No. 28 Paulson, No. 8 Gerrard; Forward: No. 9 Torres.

Alonso is gone, Mascherano is gone, Joe Cole and Meireles are here, Liverpool now has flexibility in rigidity, and Joe Cole and Meireles have the ability to send through balls. , If Manchester United can not defend well, the spiritual Spanish golden boy Torres is very likely to break Van der Sar’s goal.

This is the 180th match in the history of the two sides. Prior to this, Manchester United had a slight advantage with 69 wins, 50 draws and 60 losses.

The two Premier League clashes in 36 games, Manchester United have the upper hand with 19 wins, 7 draws and 10 losses, including 10 home wins, 4 draws and 4 losses.

Manchester United has scored 5 wins and 1 loss against Liverpool in the previous 6 league games, but the Red Army has only 1 win and 3 losses in 4 games in the past two seasons. Last season, Manchester United defeated Liverpool 2:1, and last season, Liverpool played at Old Trafford. Germany defeated Manchester United 4:1.

Recently at Old Trafford, the South Korean Park Ji-sung made a penalty kick and beat Liverpool once, but now he can only watch from the bench.

But now Manchester United still has an Asian player, that is Gao Xiaodong, the standard king this summer. I don't know if he can surprise Manchester United fans like Park Ji-sung in this double red meeting.

The referee of this game is Weber. Seeing Weber, it is estimated that Manchester United fans will be very happy, because the 39-year-old Weber was known as the "Manchester United Queen Referee" when he debuted. This summer, Weber enforced the World Cup final..."

At this time, there was a wave of cheers like a tsunami, and the on-site commentator Martin said: "...The players from both sides have come out of the locker room, and the game will begin immediately! Let's see if the lineup has changed... There is no change, now Let us prepare for the exciting Derby!" 8)
