heir to the red devil

Chapter 481 Double Virtues
In the locker room of the home team, Jin Taige was taking the last time to give instructions to the players.

"Guys, I think you must all know what I said before the game. But I want to remind you again now that you can despise Liverpool, but you must not despise Liverpool! Now this Liverpool team is very strong, don't look at them now. Ranked seventh in the league, but the strength of many players in their team is absolutely world-class!"

"Not to mention their captain Gerrard, he is a legendary star in England; and their No. [-] player Coutinho has now become the real core of Liverpool. It is at the top level; and Lovren and Moreno, who just transferred this summer, have also performed very well recently. The reason why Liverpool has fallen to this point is not that they are not strong, but because their state is not stable .So for today's game, I ask you to play hard!"

In the dressing room of the visiting team, Rodgers was also telling the players: "This game is of great significance to us. If we can win Manchester United, then we will return to the top six. We are the most successful in the Premier League. It is a great shame for one of the clubs not to qualify for the European Championship for two consecutive years!"

"Although today is the England national derby, you have heard the remarks of the Manchester United guys before the game. They are extremely arrogant! I hope you will win this game for the dignity and honor of Liverpool!"

The two teams received encouragement and demands from their respective coaches in the locker room. They are ready to go and prepare to play a big battle later!
In the player tunnel, players from both sides are waiting to enter the pitch.

As the captain of Liverpool, Gerrard stood at the forefront of the team, and his heart was surging.Although he has played against Manchester United countless times, he will be very excited every time.

He looked back at his teammates, and saw that they were also in high spirits, and Gerrard was very happy.He glanced at Manchester United's players again, and then his eyes fell on one person, that is Manchester United's No. [-] player-Lampard.

Just before warming up on the field, Gerrard met Lampard.The two are partners of the national team, and even close friends. They met on the field today. Although the two teams are sworn enemies, the relationship between the two is still the same as before.

Today is Lampard's first time participating in the England National Derby. He smiled and said to Gerrard: "Steven, long time no see."

Gerrard also smiled and replied: "Yes, Frank, we haven't seen each other since the end of the World Cup. But I know you have performed very well recently, and you are in a good state in the new team. Congratulations."

"It's okay, I just didn't expect to meet you in the national derby in my lifetime, it's really amazing." Lampard said with a sigh.

Gerrard looked at Lampard: "To be honest, I still think you are suitable for wearing a blue jersey. I always feel awkward seeing you wearing a red jersey now."

"We are all professional players, it is normal to change teams."

"But I still think you should die at Chelsea and become a legend at Stamford Bridge, so that you can be worthy of everything you have done for Chelsea."

Looking at Gerrard, Lampard suddenly felt envious in his heart: "It is a luxury for professional players to be able to spend the rest of their lives in their favorite club. Chelsea don't need me anymore, and I can only leave. I really I envy you..."

At this time in the player tunnel, Gerrard looked at Lampard who was wearing a Manchester United uniform behind him. He had put away the friendly smile with himself just now, and now changed to the same serious expression as other teammates, taking the country seriously. derby.

Gerrard felt bitter in his heart: Frank, you said you envied me, but whether my future is in Liverpool, whether I can retire here as I wish, everything is unknown...

Players from both sides enter the field, and the game is about to begin!
"Friends in front of the TV audience, everyone! Welcome to today's game. This game is a focus of the No. 16 round of the Premier League. Manchester United will face Liverpool at home. This is the first national derby this season , the players on both sides went all out to fight for the victory.”

"The referee's whistle sounds and the game begins!"

"In the first half, Liverpool kicked off first, and they launched a fierce attack towards Manchester United's half from the beginning."

"Henderson and Joe Allen played short passes in midfield and the ball was in Gerrard's feet, Gerrard dribbled forward...he was tackled!"

"Just as Gerrard received the ball and dribbled forward, a Manchester United player suddenly rushed out from his diagonal left side and shoveled Gerrard to the ground viciously! The referee called a foul."

Gerald got up from the ground, he was furious, as if he was going to settle accounts with the person who uprooted him!But when he saw the person standing in front of him, most of his anger disappeared immediately.He let out a long breath: "Frank, you're so ruthless today."

Lampard was expressionless: "Today is the national derby, I am a Manchester United player, and you are a Liverpool player."

After saying this, Lampard ran back to the backcourt, ready to defend.

Seeing Lampard's expression, Gerrard froze for a moment before returning to normal.

Frank, when you represented Chelsea in the past, you didn't have the grim expression you have now. It seems that you are becoming more and more like a Red Devils player.If I run into you in a while, I will never show mercy!
Because Lampard kicked the ball first, the referee did not draw a card, but just gave Liverpool a frontcourt set kick.The ball was about 35 yards away from the goal. Gerrard measured the distance with his eyes. He shook his head. This position was a little bit off, which was not suitable for him to shoot.

At this time, the person standing in front of the ball with him was Coutinho, and the two of them were Liverpool's free kickers.The two whispered a few words, and then ran up at the same time. When Gerrard was about to touch the ball, he suddenly stopped and avoided the ball; Coutinho hit the ball hard with his right foot In the middle and lower part, the ball was fast and floating, heading straight for Manchester United's goal!

At this time, De Gea moved his feet ahead of time. He judged the right direction and jumped up.Because the ball was powerful, De Gea didn't choose to save it. He used a single punch to smash the ball out of the baseline more safely, trying to keep the goal.

"Only 5 minutes into the game, Coutinho nearly blasted United's goal away with a beautiful free-kick! It was a game full of sparks!"
