Chapter 401: The Butcher of the Premier League

"Captain."

Carragher shouted outside the door.

"Hmm."

"Just come."

Gerald responded, but the man hadn't gotten up yet. He looked around, then took off his sneakers and re-tied the bandage on the toe of his right foot.

There was a slight injury to his toe, which was not a big problem, but he did not want the team doctor and Benitez to know, and if he did, Benitez would definitely not play for him.

Against Manchester United, don't play unless you're dead.

He was young, and he was competing with Manchester United. What's more, Liverpool has lost many games in a row to Manchester United, whether at home or away, Liverpool has not won against Manchester United.

He hasn't led Liverpool to victory since Owen left.

He was unwilling......

After putting his boots back on, he deliberately stomped on the ground twice and made sure there were no problems before stepping out of the door of the away dressing room.

"Let's go." Gerrard patted vice-captain Carragher on the shoulder.

At this time, the starters of both teams have already gathered at the entrance of the players' tunnel, and he is the slowest.

"Gotta keep an eye on him." When Gerald saw Dong Fangzhuo, he specially explained to Carragher.

This is a nonsense, Carragher doesn't want to? He is like Manchester City's Dunn, Arsenal's Colo Toure, and Chelsea's John Terry, eager to press Dong Fangzhuo to the turf and rub it.

But you have to have that opportunity......

After Gerard walked to the same position as Dong Fangzhuo, his expression became very serious.

Even he didn't remember how many times he had had a double red meeting.

Before the game, the two had a big war of words, and now both of them are silently staring ahead, not saying.

※※※※

"Martin, I bet with you, Liverpool will have to lose this game."

Lineker was in high spirits and wanted to make a bet with Martin Taylor.

"Why, I remember the last time Andy Gray made a bet with you, and you beat him up, and all of England knew about it, do you have any opinion of me now?"

Martin Taylor smiled and shook off Lineker's old news.

"Ha, don't you say it, I haven't seen him for a long time, that guy can only write columns for newspapers now, so pitiful......"

Before the camera cut into the live broadcast, the two of them chatted about Andy Gray unscrupulously.

"Well, I don't even have to write a column now, because the Chinese embassy protested, so the Times won't let him write it."

"Oh, that's a great pleasure, he deserves it, I wish I could meet him under some overpass that day, and give him a few shillings......"

"Ahem, alright, now, let's see what's going to happen at the 169th Double Red Meeting."

'Liverpool have won 11 of their last 12 league games, with Benitez starting only with Cisse in place of Morientes. In the previous 169 meetings between the two sides, United have a slight advantage with 67 wins, 50 draws and 52 defeats......"

"Hey, England manager Eriksen, who has been in the whirlpool recently, has also come to Old Trafford to watch the game, this old guy is ready to get out of class, I am not optimistic about his future in England."

Seeing Eriksen in the camera, Martin Taylor smacked again......

"Fletcher,"

"Smith,"

“……”

"Rooney,"

"Cristiano Ronaldo,"

"Dong."

Cheers at Old Trafford were accompanied by the names of Manchester United's starting ERS on the radio.

"Carragher,"

Sigh......

"Hyypia,"

Sigh......

"Gerald."

Sigh......

When Gerald's name was pronounced, the boos reached their maximum. As Liverpool's captain, he will certainly get more special treatment.

Toot –

Even the referee Riley was a little impatient and blew the whistle for the game.

United took the lead in attacking, the ball quickly passed through midfield, and then Patrice Evra, who came up with the assist, immediately crossed from the left and bounced off the ground halfway through.

Ryan Giggs cut into the left corner of the box, while Wayne Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo rushed into the box at the same time.

Hyypia and Carragher stared at the two guys respectively, and Reese, who had come on as a left-back in the game, cleared the ball and almost kicked him out of the air.

If Gerrard hadn't been focused enough to run back into the box to help, Reese could have made a big mistake.

Gerald immediately explained two words to Reese, but his tone was very gentle.

Gerald rarely yells, it's a matter of character.

Soon, there were problems on United's side, with the young Gerard Pique also playing flawed. Alert French striker Cisse met the ball from 25 yards on the left.

"Oh, Cisse didn't have a ...... at all"

His powerful shot went wide of the near corner, sending the billboard crackling.

However, compared to Manchester United, with Spaniard Alonso deployed at the back, Liverpool's attacking organization is better. These people have been abused by Manchester United in the past two years, so there is no need to mobilize to play Manchester United.

In the 8th minute, Alonso launched an attack at the back, Colwill headed the ball in the middle of the midfield, Gerrard ran with the ball, Smith could not keep up with Gerrard's speed, Gerrard ran 40 yards and then decisively kicked up from 25 yards on the right!

Hmmm-

Van der Sar didn't dare to be careless, and a sideways pounce was made, but the ball slid out of the goal.

Although Smith did not block Gerrard's shot, after Van der Sar re-kicked the ball, Smith and Colwill jumped up in the middle and raised both elbows, causing Colwill to cover his face and fall.

Colwill was hit in the nose and bled in the scramble!

"Smith, who has become the big villain of the game again, should be given the big villain award for the way he played in the game, he definitely deserves every game! Probably Park, Michael Carrick and Paul Scholes on the bench have all given him a huge boost to prove that he is United's most reliable midfielder,"

After changing the blood-stained shirt, the Australian was only able to wear the temporary number 50 shirt. The attacking tempo of both sides was quite fast.

In the 11th minute, Rooney crossed from the right and Giggs' shot from the edge of the box on the left was blocked by Finnen. In the 13th minute, Reese threw a throw-in from the left and Crouch's header was easily confiscated by Van der Sar.

Van der Sar kicked out, Smith rubbed the header in the middle, the ball flew directly to Dong Fangzhuo, Dong Fangzhuo quickly chased back, he took a big stride, just received the ball with his left foot, and the new Liverpool signing Sissoko next to him roared.

Bang –

Sissoko took advantage of Dong Fangzhuo's defenselessness, and the strength of his whole body crashed into Dong Fangzhuo, and he grabbed it at a very good time, taking advantage of Dong Fangzhuo's lifting his feet to unload the ball, he was unable to control the balance of his body at all.

Dong Fangzhuo was knocked into the air.

The whole person leaned sideways on the turf,

Squeak,

Dong Fangzhuo's entire left face rubbed against the turf......

"Phew, Sissoko, the real butcher of the Premier League!"
