Reborn Almighty Life

While waiting in line to enter the field, Gu Fei and his teammates heard the song "You'll Never Walk Alone" in their ears. They looked up at the words "Welcome to Anfield" on the channel. The desire to fight was in the hearts of every Manchester United player.

The heart arose spontaneously.

When the visiting team players come out, they always pass under a sign that says "This is Anfield". The reason why this sign was placed here was entirely Shankly's idea. Shankly thought: "This

The logo can remind the home players who they are playing for, and it can also serve as a warning to away players, psychologically deterring them that this is Anfield and you are playing against Liverpool."

In this sense, the song "You'll Never Walk Alone" and this symbol play similar roles.

Regardless of the fierce competition between Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea in recent years, only the Red Army Liverpool is Manchester United's only opponent in the Premier League, the only club that Manchester United needs to look up to and catch up with!

Entering the Premier League era, Manchester United has won 9 league titles in 15 seasons, and the other six are divided between Blackburn (1), Chelsea (2) and Arsenal (3). Liverpool has nothing to do with it.

In the blink of an eye, Liverpool's original record of 18 English top league championships has been shaky, because Manchester United has narrowed the gap to only 2. Facing the aggressive Manchester United, Liverpool, from the club to the fans, the media is a little restless.

Now, they are trying every possible means to prevent Manchester United from overtaking them.

In 2005, Liverpool achieved a stunning comeback in Instanbul, winning the Champions League and increasing their number of Champions League trophies to five. This greatly boosted Liverpool's military morale. Especially in those two years, because Arsenal

, Chelsea's strength, Manchester United's performance in the Premier League is not very good, this somewhat gives Liverpool hope of staying ahead.

However, the good times did not last long. Manchester United rose strongly in the 2006-2007 season, swept the Premier League in an unrivaled manner, won the 'Quadruple Crown', and maintained a winning record this season. This undoubtedly greatly stimulated Liverpool and greatly increased the

Liverpool's sense of crisis.

Since last season, the 'Nanxun Consortium' from China has taken over Liverpool and bought powerful players including Torres, Mascherano and Carlos Tevez for Liverpool. Benitez is building a team

A team with balanced offense and defense and rich tactics.

In the league last season, Liverpool ranked third behind Chelsea with an extremely slight disadvantage and won third place in the Premier League. In the semi-finals of the Champions League, they also lost to Chelsea and stopped in the semi-finals!

Since the start of this season, Liverpool has drawn with Chelsea away from home and defeated Arsenal and Manchester United at home, remaining unbeaten with a record of 13 wins and 3 draws. In previous years, it would have been at the top of the standings.

Unfortunately, in the first 16 rounds of this season, Chelsea had 14 wins and 2 draws, and Manchester United won all 16 games, even widening the points gap between Liverpool and Manchester United to 6 points. If Liverpool cannot prevent Manchester United from winning in this round, then

This means that Manchester United will further widen the points gap and ultimately successfully defend the league title.

For this reason, the entire city of Liverpool was mobilized before the game. Just now, on the way from the hotel where Manchester United was staying to the stadium, Liverpool fans were like volcanic lava along the way, making the Manchester United players feel as if they were immersed in a vast ocean of people's war.

It is about the honor of the city of Liverpool, and Everton fans did not come out to cause trouble at this time. Today, only the red color of Liverpool is left in the whole city.

Gu Fei looked at the faces of his teammates. They all looked very serious. After all, Liverpool performed extremely well this season and were not a weak team that could be manipulated at will. Even the players from Manchester United did not have the confidence to win.

However, based on Gu Fei's understanding of his teammates, apart from paying attention to them, Manchester United will not have any fear. After all, consecutive victories have given Manchester United players enough confidence.

Today, Manchester United will step on the corpse of the enemy of the century to successfully defend the title and win the tenth Premier League crown, further narrowing the gap with Liverpool!

Following the referee's order, Manchester United lined up neatly, and under the leadership of Gary Neville, filed into the player tunnel, facing the Liverpool players from a distance.

Everyone is an old acquaintance. Although the competition on the field is fierce, the relationship off the field is still quite good, especially the players of the England national team, who can't stop chatting with each other as soon as they meet.

Gu Fei had just joined Manchester United less than two years ago, and it was only his third time interacting with Liverpool players. He had not established any friendship yet. He stared straight ahead with a straight face, and the sound of "You'll Never Walk Alone" filled his ears.

"You'll Never Walk Alone" is not a team song written specifically for Liverpool Football Club. It was originally a famous song that has been sung everywhere.

This song was born in 1945. It was originally an episode of a musical, with lyrics by Oscar Hamstern and music by Richard Rogers. "Elvis" covered this song because he heard the song by the previous singer.

Frank Sinatra's sung version, but it had not yet become Liverpool's team anthem when "Elvis" covered it.

In August 1963, Jerry Marsden, a Liverpool native who was already well-known in the English music scene, heard this song. He and the drummer of the band began to change the song. He felt that although the original song had a slow rhythm, "it was particularly touching."

”, so I started to try singing this song, but I didn’t expect it to be very effective.

Good. The version performed by the band "Gerry and the Leader" incorporates a strong sense of rhythm, coherent melody and soulful lyrics, especially the interpretation of Marsden's magnetic voice. This short and simple song

, instantly became a catchy and gorgeous piece of music.

At the same time, in the 1963-1964 Anfield season, the Red Army built by Shankly was entering the golden era. Stadium DJ Stuart Bartman would always play some popular hits before the game, and the audience who entered in advance would be accompanied by these familiar tunes.

Melody collective singing.

When the song "You'll Never Walk Alone" was released to the public in October 1963, it jumped to No. 7 on the charts in the second week. From then on, the song gradually became popular among Anfield fans.

Accepted. On October 31 of that year, the song rose to the top of the charts. The sales of the single "You'll Never Walk Alone" reached 800,000, and it stayed at the top of the charts for 4 weeks.

Although the popular hits played at Anfield are still changing, in the hearts of Liverpool fans, "You'll Never Walk Alone" has begun to take root and grow. An old Liverpool fan recalled the grand occasion: "Everyone in the stadium was accompanied by this

The melody of the song was sung in unison, and I myself bought a record.

40 years have passed, and the charm of this song has endured. It will be played on time every time when the players walk out of the tunnel and run to the court. At this time, all the Red Army fans will stand solemnly in the stands.

Singing this team song with concentration, the stands have already turned into a sea of ​​red. No matter whether the Red Army is leading, lagging or tied, whether the game has just begun or is coming to an end, this popular song always echoes

In every corner of the stadium.

For fans of other clubs, it seems difficult to understand that one song can have so much special meaning.

In the glorious moments when Liverpool dominated England and dominated Europe, this song was the best channel for fans to show their inner pride. In the dark years after the Heysel tragedy and Hillsborough tragedy, this song also gave support to those who were injured.

It provides the best solace to the hearts of Liverpool fans. This song has also become a way for Liverpool fans to greet each other. It is deeply integrated with the history and culture of Liverpool Club and has become an integral part of the club.

Putting aside the melody of "You'll Never Walk Alone", the lyrics are an important reason why it is favored by fans: unite with other fans to support your favorite team "through thick and thin" and

Always maintain an optimistic attitude. In another sense, this song really helps the players.

This team anthem is a masterpiece of English football culture and the epitome of English fan culture. Even Manchester United fans have to admit that this song can better represent English football.

The establishment of the Premier League has made English football prosperous, but the performance of the English national team has gone from bad to worse. Some people say that English football is in decline, with excessive competition, overthinking, and club teams filled with foreign players.

However, people who truly understand English football culture will not agree with this statement, because the real power of English football is not the Three Lions, but the millions of fans in the stands.

Raising our eyes and turning our gaze from the field to the stands, we will see a group of people who are imitated all over the world, England's loyal fans. Even the most loyal fans in foreign countries are envious of England's fan culture.

Football fans in other European countries try to imitate England, which is why there are Union Jack flags all over Europe, and the song "Here We Go", borrowed from England, is considered a working-class national anthem, but it is quickly becoming

The new "Internationale".

England fans are unique in that football itself is part of the fan culture in England. More than any other supporters in the world, England fans know who they are as fans, they care about their numbers, their visuals, and

have their group characteristics.

The main virtue of English fans is their loyalty and enthusiasm for their team. In football, nothing is more important than this.

A Rochdale fan might read some coverage of Paul Gascoigne or David Beckham, but he or she is most interested in Rochdale news.

Compared with Dutch and German fans, they like certain teams more, but this feeling is weak and changeable. Some English fans will not play football at all, but they devote themselves wholeheartedly to their football.

Even though the team is playing poorly, they still insist on watching their games every week.

The famous English TV football commentator John Mawson told us that "the last time the two sides met was in the Champions League in 1954, and Glasgow Rangers won 1-0 with a goal in the 31st minute.", this

It is a very English commentary, which shows the English people's love for football.

England's football culture is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This is something that Chinese football should learn from, because sports are always an important auxiliary force for human progress. If the strong, tenacious and enterprising spirit of football culture can be integrated into the rise of the Chinese empire, it will mean

This means that the Chinese nation can draw more strength from football and other fields and accelerate its growth.

Walking out of the tunnel, the entire Anfield was like a violently erupting volcano, with nearly 60,000 fans booing and cheering mixed together, rushing towards us.

This is a famous devil's home stadium in Europe. When ordinary players come here, their courage will be half frightened. How can they show their true strength?

Even in Liverpool's most depressed era, even a Premier League hegemon like Manchester United would not dare to claim victory here, let alone Liverpool, which is recovering now?

This season, Liverpool played 8 home games in the first 16 rounds. Except for being tied by Chelsea, they won the remaining 7 games. This shows how strong Liverpool is.

Benitez does have two tools. He relies on the trust gained by reversing AC Milan in the 2005 Champions League final, and with the huge financial resources of the 'Nanxun Consortium', he has built a team that can compete well.

This team has Saint Torres and Beast Tevez at the front, a defensive hero like Mascherano in the midfield, and Xabi Alonso, a midfield master who is a slugger who can attack and defend well.

Ser and spiritual leader, such a midfield and frontcourt combination is one of the best in the world.

Even if the defense is slightly weak, Reina, Carragher and others are the first choice at the peak of their careers.

The biggest problem for Liverpool now is that the substitute lineup is not strong enough. When the multi-line battle reaches the most critical moment, it is easy to fall apart.

However, when Liverpool played against Manchester United, with the support of 60,000 fans at home, Liverpool's players were always full of passion and fighting power. Even the media and fans who had great confidence in Manchester United did not dare to take the game lightly.

Make predictions.

This point can be seen from the handicap of the betting agency before the game. Liverpool still has a certain chance of winning.

…………

As the most commercialized professional league, the Premier League has a complete strategy and publicity ideas for event promotion. The two major games of this round of the league do not start at the same time. The previous game between Chelsea and Arsenal has ended, and Chelsea and Chelsea were at the Emirates Stadium.

Unable to win, the score was 1:1, which increased the pressure on Mourinho.

Liverpool's home game against Manchester United is the last game of this round. The eyes of the whole world are focused on Anfield Stadium. Nearly 200 TV stations in more than 150 countries and regions will broadcast this game. Nearly 400 million people worldwide

Fans are waiting in front of the TV, waiting for the battle to begin.

Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of fanatical fans, players from both sides entered the arena, and the battle was about to begin!
