Full-level header at the beginning, the whole network begs me not to return to the national football

Chapter 97 [8k] The Double Red Club is coming! Coutinho scores a long shot! Lu Chenfeng’s super world wave!

Just three days later, with the momentum of just winning the Community Shield, Manchester United set out to play against Liverpool and Anfield!

This is their opponent in the second round of the Premier League.

As one of the most successful clubs in English history, Liverpool's strength goes without saying. It has been a BIG6 team in the Premier League for many years.

Last year, they just hired powerful coach Klopp from Dortmund and are preparing to complete the reconstruction of the team within three years and return to the top position in Europe!

It's just that this will definitely take time. At least the probability that they will complete the reconstruction within this season is low.

But no matter what, if Manchester United wins the league title at the end, such a powerful opponent must be defeated even if they are away from home!

Victory against other teams is far less satisfying than victory against a BIG6 team!

And a very important point is that the struggle between Manchester United and Liverpool has been a struggle that has attracted great attention from the outside world for many years.

Known as the double red club of the English Premier League!

There is something like a derby, although they are not in the same city.

In short, this is definitely a focus battle.

A few hours before the game started, numerous media reports were issued, building momentum for the game.

[At the forefront of the second round of the Premier League, the double red will attract attention. Can Klopp’s team withstand the powerful power of Manchester United’s new players?]

[The Double Red Club is coming early, Mourinho VS Klopp, a battle between two world-class coaches!]

[Pre-match analysis, can Chinese talent Lu Chenfeng continue to maintain a high scoring efficiency against Liverpool?]

[Can Klopp’s team find opportunities to limit the Chinese? Is the defense combination of Lovren and Gomez reliable? 】

It can be seen that even a battle as topical as the Double Red Club.

When the media wrote reports, they still couldn't help but focus on one point.

That is Lu Chenfeng, who has played two games in England, scored five goals and provided two assists, and is in very hot form!

Everyone has very high expectations for him and wants to see if he can continue to maintain his form in subsequent games and post super high statistics after the season.

Everyone also wants to see which head coach can be the first to find a way to restrict Lu Chenfeng?

Or which player can take the lead in defending the dead end Morrowind in the Premier League?

Anyway, judging from the current situation, Pochettino and Ranieri, as well as the defenders of Tottenham and Leicester City, there is definitely nothing they can do.

However, with the rapid development of modern football, people actually believe that there will always be people who study the characteristics of Morrowind and use specific tactics to restrict him.

As each game passes, the characteristics will definitely become clearer.

Unless he is a talent at the level of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, there is nothing you can do as a coach except to limit it as much as possible.

However, is Lu Chenfeng a player of their level?

It's still unknown, everyone can only continue to look forward to watching his performance this season!

Around 1:30 in the afternoon.

In Liverpool, a port city in northwest England, the football atmosphere is already very strong.

Fans wearing Liverpool's dark red jerseys appeared one after another outside Anfield Stadium.

The huge victory over Newcastle in the first round of the league allowed these fans to see a completely new look of the team and look forward to the team's subsequent games.

Even today, when facing Manchester United, which has been in a very hot state recently, they don't think they are absolutely on the weak side.

The game hasn't started yet, so it's hard to tell!

Not long after, Manchester United fans wearing bright red jerseys also appeared here. They lined up in a neat line, cheering and clapping with their hands raised.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

A team of Manchester United fans came from the direction of the station, with determination to win on their faces and full of momentum.

The team’s recent games have given them the confidence to look forward to more in the season!

From their point of view, this game against Liverpool is naturally not a problem.

"Go back to Manchester, you are not welcome here."

"Watch your team being crushed by us on the pitch, you despicable Mancunians!"

"What are you looking at? Anfield is not the place you should come."

"Just wait, we will suppress you in the standings this season."

"..."

Taking advantage of their large numbers, Liverpool fans were the first to start a verbal exchange with each other around the streets where Manchester United fans were walking.

Some extremely fanatical fans even had the intention of breaking out into conflict with each other, but were stopped by the security guards wandering near the sidelines.

However, they certainly didn't give up.

Not long after, the advancing team of Manchester United fans was surrounded by the remains of smoke bombs, and white smoke rose into the sky, turning the entire street into a mess.

The two teams have historically been fiercely competitive and have been feuding for a long time, and the conflicts between the fans are no secret.

This time, Manchester United fans knew that they were at a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers at the opponent's home court, so they did not break out into a conflict with the opponent here.

They just held their breath in their hearts and continued to march forward firmly and cheer for the team.

Everyone is secretly hoping that the team can win a big victory in today's away game, which will make them feel proud.

When the time comes, they will come back to fight back against the Liverpool fans!

…………

About half an hour later, Anfield, which could accommodate about 57,000 fans to watch the game, was already dyed red.

"You'll Never Walk Alone!"

"You'll Never Walk Alone!"

You never walk alone!

This is a song that most football fans are familiar with!

Liverpool players once completed a great comeback against AC Milan in this legendary stadium in Istanbul, bathed in this legendary song!

He left behind a legendary miracle of his own, the Miracle of Istanbul!

At this moment, more than 40,000 fans of the home team Liverpool were sitting in the stands, singing the team's anthem with great momentum!

"You'll Never Walk Alone!"

This is definitely one of the city stadiums with the strongest football atmosphere in England and even Europe!

On the other side, Manchester United fans are still unwilling to lag behind.

They displayed the team's scarf and banner in the stands and sang their team's anthem loudly!

Glory belongs to Manchester United!

Players from both sides didn't even appear on the court, but the fans were already fighting furiously.

"Poof! Poof! Poof!"

"Chi! Chi! Chi!"

Countless streamers and smoke bombs were projected out, giving the entire stadium a tense atmosphere on the eve of a war.

The fans waved the war flags in their hands wantonly, like gladiators meeting on a narrow road, competing for victory or death!

This is the Double Red Club!

One of the most anticipated duels in England!

In the stadium's broadcast stand, Zhan Jun and He Wei were sitting here, smiling excitedly.

"Double Red Meeting! It's about to begin!"

Zhan Jun's hoarse voice sounded: "We can already feel how exciting the upcoming game is from the atmosphere at the scene."

"This is the matchup I am most looking forward to in the Premier League, and I believe other Liverpool fans must be the same."

He Wei on the side smiled slightly and said nothing. Anyone who is familiar with Zhan Jun knows that he is a die-hard Liverpool fan and has been for many years.

Usually, when a team poses a threat to Liverpool, Zhan Jun always grimaces and grits his teeth to maintain the professionalism of his commentary as much as possible.

But today, this is a completely different situation.

Even though Manchester United was slightly more favored before the game, Zhan Jun's face still showed excitement and happiness.

There is no other reason. No matter who wins these two games, he can accept it.

On the one hand, they are players from their own country, and on the other hand, they are the clubs that they love deeply!

Now, a star who has finally appeared in his country finally has the opportunity to play against his beloved club live!

I also have the opportunity to give commentary in person on the sidelines.

How could Zhan Jun not feel happy with such a wonderful experience?

"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides first."

"Liverpool still uses the four-three-three that Klopp is most familiar with. The goalkeeper position is Karius, who has been in good form recently."

"In defense, Klein plays on the left, Matip and Lovren appear as central defender partners, and Milner plays on the right."

"The midfield positions, from left to right, are Emre Can, Wijnaldum and Lallana."

"The three players at the front are Coutinho, Firmino and Mane."

"This is the main lineup that Klopp fielded in the last game against Newcastle, which was a 5-0 victory."

"Coutinho and Mane scored two goals each at that time, and we can also look forward to their performance today."

Zhan Jun flipped through the starting lineup list he had just received and introduced it to the fans in the live broadcast room.

The number of Chinese fans in the live broadcast room has already exceeded 8 million, and the popularity is still soaring.

"Did Xie Xian's speed on the wing eat up Mane alive?"

"Your Lu Huang is infinitely arrogant!"

"Three more goals! Let us see a few more goals, otherwise foreigners will think we look down upon them."

"Although I am a Liverpool fan, I still want to say today, Lu Chenfeng, please score a few more goals!"

"Come on! Keep up the awesomeness."

The audience in the live broadcast room enthusiastically posted comments, looking forward to the start of the game.

And inside the stadium here.

The players who have finished their warm-up stay in the locker room, making final preparations.

In the Liverpool dressing room.

Klopp, who was covered in stubble, had a stern look in his eyes. He glanced at every player sitting on the chair and finally landed on a few defensive players.

"Matip, I have emphasized the wind to you many times in training. Don't be nervous on the field today. Use your body to interfere with the opponent as much as possible in high-altitude balls."

"And Lovren, you are responsible for holding back. After Matip loses his position, you must step forward as soon as possible to block Lu Chenfeng's long shot."

Klopp pushed up the glasses on his face and kept pacing around the locker room.

He doesn't have to worry about the team's offense. The combination of Mane, Coutinho and Firmino is very strong overall.

The only thing I worry about is being beaten in defense.

"The most important thing is that Klein and Milner on the wing should try not to give the opponent a chance to kick the ball."

"You have to stick to their wing players and defend them with 120% concentration."

"Also Wijnaldum, we must cut off the pass from the opponent's midfielder to Lu Chenfeng and Ibrahimovic so that they can get less of the ball."

"Remember boys?"

There was a response from the players, and everyone nodded seriously and got ready to go on the field and have a big fight.

The just-concluded 5-0 victory over Newcastle gave them full confidence!

Let them have the confidence to end Manchester United's good form in this game!

Matip and Lovren are also working hard and plan to give Lu Chenfeng a try in today's game!

They also want to see how outstanding the striker who has recently become famous throughout European football is!

"Come in."

At this time, the fourth official walked into the Liverpool dressing room and shouted.

"Come on boys!"

Liverpool's coach Klopp clapped excitedly and cheered for the players at the end.

"rush!"

"Fuck Manchester United!"

"Come on, come on!"

The Liverpool players clapped their hands and cheered each other up, walked out of the locker room with high fighting spirit and walked towards the tunnel.

Soon after.

In the player tunnel.

Lu Chenfeng, who was in the Manchester United lineup, noticed the opponent's players.

This Liverpool team already has some of the foundation of the Champions League champions...

Of course, if you want to win the championship with a greater probability, you may have to eliminate Karius first...

There is no doubt about the coaching ability of uncle Klopp. It seems that today is a tough game.

When Lu Chenfeng was observing the opponent's lineup, Liverpool's players would occasionally focus on Lu Chenfeng.

Of course they also want to see what the players who are in hot form after landing in the Premier League look like.

"Come in."

Soon, the referee took the lead and led the players from both sides into the field.

Lu Chenfeng walked into the Anfield Stadium, which had a very strong atmosphere, and when he heard the high-pitched singing in his ears, he felt a little shocked.

This atmosphere... is so good.

It is indeed one of the greatest home stadiums in Europe!

Here, in a few years, another miraculous match that shocked the football world, the Anfield Miracle, will take place.

Liverpool will beat Barcelona in that game, ending boss May's Champions League dream that season!

The player who performed most brilliantly in the Miracle at that time was undoubtedly Alexander-Arnold, a product of Liverpool's youth training!

Lu Chenfeng had played against this player when he was in Newcastle's youth team. I wonder if he has been promoted to the first team now...

With this curiosity, Lu Chenfeng glanced at Liverpool's bench.

The first time he passed by, he saw Arnold sitting there with a childish face, wearing the No. 66 jersey, looking at him with a very complicated look.

Lu Chenfeng waved his hand towards Arnold, smiled slightly, then turned around and continued towards the field.

On the Liverpool bench.

Arnold sat here with mixed emotions, his eyes focused on the figure wearing Manchester United's No. 7.

More than a year ago, the two of them had played against each other once when they were both in the youth team.

Before that, he was still a famous super star in Europe, while Lu Chenfeng was a nobody.

In that game, Lu Chenfeng left a deep impression on Arnold with his hat-trick performance.

But in Arnold's mind, he still doesn't think that player will go further than himself in the future.

but……

There was a bit of a wry smile on Arnold's lips, and he shook his head slightly.

There is no need to say more about the achievements Lu Chenfeng has achieved now.

He was completely ahead, leaving Arnold behind.

Arnold felt very frustrated in his heart, and he was even more eager to make a name for himself in Liverpool!

"What's wrong?"

Uncle Klopp noticed Arnold's strange expression. This player has always been relatively confident and optimistic, and rarely behaves like this.

"That Lu Chenfeng, when I was in the youth team, he was in Newcastle and we played against each other."

Arnold pointed to Lu Chenfeng and said truthfully.

"oh……"

After hearing this, Klopp immediately understood what was going on and comforted him verbally: "It's okay, your talent is not much worse than him. Keep working hard and I will be ready to correct you next season."

After saying this, Klopp couldn't help but sigh.

In his opinion, Arnold's talent is definitely rare in Europe.

With a little training in the first team, he can even participate in the competition to be the number one full-back in Europe in the future!

But even such a player, compared with Lu Chenfeng on the opposite side, looks much inferior at this moment...

Without comparison, there is no harm.

This is what Klopp is thinking now, and he also took a deep breath, hoping that the team can withstand Lu Chenfeng's attack today.

He was not completely sure about this and could only wait anxiously for the game to officially begin.

In fact, he originally wanted to take down Lu Chenfeng, but at the beginning of the season, the team had too many positions that needed to be strengthened.

I don't have much spare money to buy Lu Chenfeng, so I can only give up on it.

This may also become a regret for Klopp in his Premier League career.

…………

Not long after, the Anfield stadium was enveloped in a fanatical atmosphere of fans, and the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

"Beep!"

Lu Chenfeng stood on the arc of the center circle, took the lead in delivering the ball for Manchester United, and then ran forward.

In the midfield position, Fellaini received the football, turned around and passed it to the full-back Valencia.

'Bang.'

Valencia knocked the ball directly to Rooney, and then looked for a place to connect.

At this moment, Liverpool's players had lined up three neat lines of defense, fiercely pressing Manchester United's back line.

At this time, Klopp has begun to implement his high-pressing style of play. He has done enough training for the team's overall high-pressing, and the players are all able to implement his tactics.

It suddenly became difficult for Manchester United to get the ball out of the midfield and back, and in the end they had to hand the ball to De Gea, who made a huge clearance towards the frontcourt.

In the frontcourt position, Ibrahimovic used his right hand to hold Lovren behind him, using his body advantage to stop the football firmly at his feet.

In the competition for high-altitude balls, Manchester United really has no one to fear this season!

Whether it is Ibrahimovic and Fellaini who are over 1.9 meters tall or Lu Chenfeng with super jumping ability, Manchester United's success rate in high-altitude confrontations has been greatly enhanced!

"Bang!"

Afterwards, Ibrahimovic glanced at the position behind him, half-turned and then sent a long pass towards the left.

There, the young Martial had already moved forward at high speed into the space behind Klein, and was about to reach down to the ribs and send a cross.

At the critical moment, Matip stepped in and took the lead to clear the ball.

Throw-in ball.

Ashley Young ran up and threw a throw-in towards Fellaini, who passed the ball back to Ashley Young.

Before Ashley Young received the ball, Liverpool midfielder Wijnaldum predicted in advance and made a clean sliding tackle, shoveling the football back to Liverpool's feet!

Liverpool's chance to counterattack!

Right winger Mane rushed forward with the ball at high speed along the wing. After reaching the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Firmino who was connecting in the middle.

Firmino made a very wonderful missed ball, preparing to pass the ball to Coutinho behind him!

"Bang!"

Argentinian central defender Rojo anticipated this move, occupied the ball path first, intercepted the ball with one kick, and then passed the ball long to find his teammates in front!

The rhythm of the game was very fast at the beginning, and both sides switched offense and defense very quickly!

This also makes this double-red meeting feel like a hand-to-hand battle from the very beginning, which is very intense.

Moreover, as time passed by minute by minute, the rhythm on the court showed no downward trend at all, and both sides maintained a super-fast advancement speed.

In this case, players from both sides got several very good offensive opportunities, and goals seemed to be within easy reach.

Of course, in terms of ball possession rate and opportunity creation, Manchester United is still slightly better even if they are on the road.

In the first half, the goal controlled by Karius was full of dangers several times, and Lu Chenfeng's header was just a hair away from breaking through the goal.

But when the game reached the thirty-sixth minute, an unexpected scene happened.

Liverpool pressed high in the midfield and stole the ball from Rooney's feet.

Rooney sprinted with high intensity without oxygen for more than 30 minutes. His body was a little tired and he didn't even have time to commit a tactical foul in the first place.

After Wijnaldum advanced the ball into Manchester United's backcourt, he found Coutinho on the left with a through ball.

Coutinho seemed to be in very good condition this game. After receiving the ball, his feet were very fast and he was close to Argentinian Rojo.

He lowered his shoulders and made a fake move to the left, then quickly moved the ball to the right with his right foot.

In fact, with this ball, Rojo's center of gravity was not moved too much, and he even stood firmly on the spot.

But just because Coutinho's feet are too fast, Rojo can't keep up with the rhythm.

"Bang!!"

The next moment, Coutinho's right foot came into contact with the bottom of the football. His sole wrapped the football and created an arc.

This shot was very powerful. After it was sent out, it formed a perfect arc in the air and flew to the upper right corner of the goal!

Faced with such a wonderful shot, even someone as strong as De Gea wouldn't be able to do much.

He could only try his best to save it, and then watched helplessly as the football passed over his hands and flew into the net behind him!

There was a crisp sound of hitting the net, and the football slipped into the net!

The ball went in!

Liverpool took a 1-0 lead!

The sudden situation on the field surprised all the fans present. Liverpool, who had already been at a disadvantage in the first half, just made a sudden counterattack and Coutinho scored a goal?

"Yeah yeah yeah yeah!!"

The next moment, the entire Anfield formed a boiling ocean, and all the fans stood up from their seats and waved their arms crazily in celebration.

Coutinho quickly rushed to the sidelines and performed a graceful kneeling slide.

Other Liverpool teammates also rushed over and hugged Coutinho excitedly.

In this double-red meeting, I didn’t expect them to be the first to take the lead!

In this way, is it really possible that Manchester United, which has been in hot form recently, will fall under their command?

Thinking of this, the Liverpool players couldn't help but feel very motivated and couldn't be more excited.

Especially their fans, who finally found an opportunity to dominate the Manchester United fans, standing on the sidelines and taunting the Manchester United fans area.

"Where is Lu Chenfeng? Where is Ibrahimovic? Where is Rooney?" Some fans pretended to be confused and looked around.

“Go home Manchester!”

"After this game, we will firmly hold the top spot in the standings until the end of the season!"

"Damn Manchester people, they just won a championship and they can't let go of themselves."

"..."

The Liverpool fans proudly vented their emotions, leaving the Manchester United fans sitting on pins and needles with aggrieved expressions on their faces.

They obviously played better, but why did they let Liverpool score first?

But if you ask them whether they are worried, at the moment they are not worried.

There is still plenty of time waiting for their players, and they believe someone will definitely be able to step up.

Coach's seat on the sidelines.

Uncle Klopp's iconic three punches to the stands caused three waves of climax in the side stands.

He is such a passionate coach.

On the other side, Mourinho was writing something in his playbook, showing neither worry nor relaxation.

He wants to record the problem reflected by this lost ball, and when he returns home, he will look for the root cause of the problem and try to solve it as soon as possible.

He will lead Manchester United to break his own record at Chelsea, conceding only fifteen goals in the league throughout the season!

On the court.

Manchester United's players were a little frustrated. This was the first time this season that they fell behind their opponents.

This made them feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts, and they no longer felt like they used to have overall control over the game.

Only Lu Chenfeng silently placed the ball on the arc of the center circle, waiting for Liverpool to kick off after the celebration.

Through the accumulation of playing games, there were also two headers in the first half of this game.

His law of cause and effect has been fully stacked again, and now he is just waiting for a shot.

So he doesn't care about Liverpool's goal at all. The two sides will soon be back on the same starting line.

Not long after, Liverpool's celebration finally came to an end.

All Liverpool players returned to their own half with confidence in the next game.

"Beep!"

The referee also quickly blew the whistle, indicating that Lu Chenfeng could serve the ball from the center circle again.

Lu Chenfeng knocked the ball to Rooney in the midfield position, and then slowly wandered towards the frontcourt.

Now, it's just a matter of waiting for an opportunity.

Manchester United's backcourt quickly organized itself. After such a long period of fighting, they no longer conduct too much control in the backcourt.

Soon, they made a long through pass and found Mkhitaryan on the right.

Mkhitaryan took a few steps toward the baseline, and without any good opportunities, he cut inside the center.

At this time, he saw the morning breeze on the far side of the road.

"Bang!"

Mkhitaryan passed the ball to Lu Chenfeng's position and ran again to take over.

And in the stands.

Seeing Lu Chenfeng receive the football, the Liverpool players gave him the highest treatment.

"Uuuhuhuhuhuh..."

More than 30,000 fans collectively booed, trying to use this to influence Lu Chenfeng's mentality and make him emotionally unstable on the court.

But at this moment, after receiving the ball thirty meters away from the goal, he didn't care about their voices.

All he could see in his eyes was the goal in front of him!

Lu Chenfeng quickly moved the ball to his right, and then quickly followed up with his body. Before Lovren could block it, his right leg violently hit the football.

The football sank in quickly, as if it was going to be exploded by the huge force, and then it randomly lifted off the ground and flew towards the goal with huge force.

In front of the goal.

Facing such a fast shot, the young Karius suddenly felt nervous and his brain had forgotten all the hand patterns he had practiced for so many years.

The angle of this shot is actually not tricky. It stands to reason that Karius can even take off the football as long as his hand shape is in place and his judgment is accurate.

But at such a critical moment, he happened to suffer from the problem of butter hands!

After the football came into contact with his hands, it just slowed down and flew back again.

“歘!!”

There was a sound of hitting the net, and the football entered the net!

One to one!

World wave!!

This is a shot that is further than Coutinho's long-range shot just now.

“Yeah yeah yeah yeah…!!”

In the stands, the boos from the Liverpool fans stopped abruptly, and there were only passionate shouts from the Manchester United fans.

Everyone was blushing and waving their arms, while not forgetting to shout a few times towards the Liverpool fans area.

"Screaming! Why don't you keep shouting!"

"Go on, country boy!"

"You only have Coutinho, right?"

"Where is Lovren? Where is Matip? Where is Wijnaldum?!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"..."

The Manchester United fans repaid all the grievances they had just suffered, and suddenly felt that their breathing became extremely smooth.

They focused their attention on the court, looking at the figure rushing over to celebrate, and their hearts were full of gratitude and love!

New No. 7 is too strong.
