Really, there were so many Atlético Madrid fans. In the past, almost all the stands reserved for away team fans were full. Today, not only were the visiting team stands full, but there were also many Atlético Madrid fans outside the stadium who did not enter.

It can be seen that Atletico Madrid attaches great importance to this game, which is why they came with so many fans.

In addition to the fans of the two teams, the wives of the two teams also traveled thousands of miles to Liverpool and came to the stadium together. They also sat excitedly in the fans' seats and watched the players warming up on the field with excitement.

.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, after a short break after dinner, the players from Atletico Madrid who had come from afar gathered in front of their hotel and prepared to march to the football stadium. Then at the instruction of head coach Aguirre, Atletico Madrid's players

The players boarded the team bus and headed towards Anfield Stadium.

Amid the deafening cheers of the surrounding fans, all members of the Atletico Madrid team boarded the bus one after another. The car slowly drove onto the street and headed towards Anfield Stadium. Behind the bus, there were the cheers of countless Atletico Madrid fans.

At 6:30 p.m., the visiting team Atletico Madrid's bus arrived at Anfield Stadium first, and there were more fans to greet them than the fans in front of the hotel. There were almost twice as many, and the security guards on site managed to block the enthusiasm.

The fans allowed the Italian team players to enter the locker room smoothly.

After changing clothes, Atletico Madrid players ran into the stadium one after another and began to warm up. This action triggered the first climax of the night.

Then the home team Liverpool's bus also arrived at Anfield Stadium. Liverpool's players filed out. They did not accept any interviews from reporters. They crowded into the player tunnel crazily, then simply rested in the locker room, changed equipment, and then

He rushed out of the stadium and started warming up before the game.

When the Liverpool players came out, the scene erupted into even louder cheers. The Liverpool people used their actual actions to tell the Atletico Madrid people - this is Anfield!

"Warm-up is complete!" The Liverpool assistant coach puffed up his cheeks and blew the whistle vigorously: "Gather! Go back and change clothes!" The players stopped one after another, then gathered under the leadership of Qiu Ze and walked to the locker room.

At this time, the atmosphere in Anfield Stadium seemed to have calmed down. This was the calm before the storm. Everyone was gathering strength for the game, and they would not burst out with their energy until the game started. And at this time,

The players on both sides were in the locker room listening to the head coach's tactical arrangements.

Ten minutes later, the players from both sides rushed out of the locker room, came to the player tunnel, and began to line up, preparing for the final appearance.

"Okay, the players from both sides have already entered the court, and the game is about to start. Now let me introduce to you the rosters of both teams today!" Sky Sports commentator Tim Laurson took advantage of the opportunity to introduce to the fans.

Let’s start the list of both sides!

"Let's first take a look at the starting lineup of the visiting team Atletico Madrid. Today Atletico Madrid coach Aguirre arranged a 442 formation." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen said, "In

The goalkeeper position is of course Kupe. This goalkeeper who has just recovered from injury takes the starting role. It can be seen that Aguirre has great trust in him."

"The four people on the defense are Antonio Lopez, Ujfaruhi, Heitinga and Peña. The Czech center back Ujfaruhi who was injured today actually appeared in the starting lineup. This is really surprising.

Surprised. Is his injury healed?" Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen was a little surprised.

"This guy Aguirre is really scheming. This guy released a smoke bomb before the game. I wonder what Liverpool's head coach Benitez will think when he sees Atletico Madrid's defense again.

?Haha!" Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen said with a smile.

"The two positions in the middle of the midfield are Assuncao and Maniche, which is the same as the media predicted before the game." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laurson said, "Today's former Liverpool Spanish

Midfielder Luis Garcia did not start, which is a pity. I hope this guy can have a chance to play in the second half of the game, after all, this is his first time back at Anfield."

"The two wide players in the midfield are Simao and Maxi Rodriguez." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen said, "This is exactly the same as what the media predicted before the game. These two

This guy guarantees the strength of Atletico Madrid’s two wings!”

"Atletico Madrid's front two are Aguero and Diego Forlan." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen said, "These two guys are very good, and they are in the limelight in Spain now.

A strong striker combination. Especially Aguero, he doesn't look very old, but he is very good."

"Okay, now that we have introduced the visiting team Atletico Madrid's starting lineup, let's now take a look at the home team Liverpool's starting lineup." Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen continued after sorting out the information in his hand.

At this time, the fans in front of the TV immediately sat upright and listened carefully. They all wanted to know what kind of lineup Liverpool would have in this game.

"Today Liverpool's head coach Benitez arranged a 4-2-3-1 formation." Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker said, "This is Benitez's favorite formation, but

If there is one less player on the front line, then Robbie Keane will definitely have a chance!"

"In the goalkeeper position, Spanish goalkeeper Reina is natural, this is unbeatable." Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker said.

"In the back four position, it's Arveroa, Carragher, Joel Luka and Luke Young." Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker said, "It seems that Daniel Agger is real.

He was injured and he was not in the starting lineup."

"However, what is surprising is that the replacement for Daniel Agger is not Ferdinand, as everyone speculated before the game, but Joel Luca. Yes, we forgot that Joel Luca can play as a central defender, and he can play well.

Not bad, and replacing Joel Luka at the full-back position is Luke Young, who Liverpool introduced in the new season." Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker said in surprise.

"In the double defensive midfield position are Argentinians Mascherano and Xabi Alonso." Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker said.

"There have been some big changes in Liverpool's midfield. Argentinian Javier Mascherano finally appeared in the starting lineup at the same time as Xabi Alonso. After Chris joined, this situation is really rare.

"Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker said.

"The three midfielders are Arshavin, Chris Chiu and Gerrard." Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker continued, "Today Gerrard appeared in the right midfield position again.

Yes, this is a bit unexpected."

"Well, the player who appeared on Liverpool's frontline today is Fernando Torres." Sky Sports commentator Gary Lineker said.

"Sure enough, Robbie Keane has no chance in this game. He is back on the bench. To be honest, Mr. Twenty Million's current situation is not very ideal." Sky Sports commentator Tim?

Laurson also said.

At this time, players from both sides have stood in a row in the stadium. What is currently going on in the stadium is the pre-match ceremony of playing the national anthem. First, the national anthem of Spain, represented by the away team Atletico Madrid, is played, and then the national anthem of England is played.

National anthem.

After the national anthem was played, the players from both sides found their positions on the court and prepared for the start of the game. The captains of both sides followed the referee of the game to perform the side-picking ceremony.

Very important.

At this time, the fans of both sides couldn't wait. They had been waiting for this game for a long time. They couldn't wait for the start of this game. At this time, the fans of Liverpool sang "You Will Never..."

Will Walk Alone".

At this time, the side-picking ceremony finally ended. Hongju Liverpool got the ball, while Atletico Madrid got the right to pick the side. Atletico Madrid chose the side of the goal with the Atletico Madrid fans behind the goal.

After that, the players from both sides returned to their own half, waiting for the game to start. The fans at the scene suppressed their inner excitement and waited for the referee's exciting opening whistle.

"Flute..." The whistle sounded, and the battle for the top spot in the UEFA Champions League death group between Atletico Madrid and Liverpool began.

"Sky Sports, Sky Sports, dear viewers, in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2008-2009 season, Liverpool's home game against Atletico Madrid of Spain has begun. The scene started from the right side of the TV screen to the left.

It’s the home team Liverpool, and the opposite is Atletico Madrid. The home team Liverpool that kicked off first, today Liverpool is wearing their traditional red jersey, while Atletico Madrid is wearing the away blue jersey.” Sky Sports commentator Ti

Tom Laursen continues his mission of solving problems for fans.

"Okay, the game has started, and the home team Liverpool will kick off first!" Sky Sports commentator Tim Laursen shouted.
