I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Kyiv, Ukraine.

Kiev is a high-latitude city. After entering summer, the daily sunshine time here is very long, nearly 16 hours. Therefore, although it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, the sky in Kiev was still not completely dark.

On the streets of Kiev, countless fans wearing Manchester United and Liverpool jerseys flocked to the Kiev Olympic National Complex.

This stadium, which can accommodate 60,000 people and once hosted the 2012 European Cup final, once again attracted the attention of football fans all over the world on this night: the 2017-2018 UEFA Champions League final will be held here.

Two giant teams from the Premier League will compete here for the highest honor of the club, and it is also the competition for the real No. 1 giant in England.

Although Manchester United has long regarded itself as the number one giant in English football, Liverpool has always refused to agree with this. And their confidence comes from the five golden Champions League trophies in the club's honor room, especially the authentic Champions League trophy that is permanently preserved.

A year ago, when Manchester United won the fifth Champions League trophy in team history at the Millennium Stadium, it had already shattered the pride of Liverpool people. But the final stubbornness made them still disagree with Manchester United's status.

Today, the two centuries-old giants stand together on the stage of the top of Europe, and it may be fate to start a duel for the real No. 1 football giant in England.

Just tonight, the winning team will outstrip their rivals in the number of European club football's top honors.

Whether it is the thriving Manchester United winning three consecutive victories, or the down-and-out Liverpool regaining its glory, the suspense will be revealed this night.

Fans of the two clubs from all over the world gathered in this city to witness this historic moment.

………………

This is the first time after a lapse of ten years that the Premier League teams will once again meet at the top of Europe.

Ten years ago, with Manchester United and Chelsea joining forces in Moscow, the Premier League replaced La Liga as the number one league in world football. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. With the curtain call of Manchester United's class of 1992, the twin stars went away and then declined, and the Premier League also gave up the throne of the first league.

Even when Ferguson retired and the Premier League fell into a chaotic state of rising heroes, the Premier League even lost its position in the second league and was pushed down to third by the Bundesliga.

However, with Ye Su's entry into Old Trafford and the reunification of the Premier League, the Premier League has also regained its former glory and gradually regained its lost ground.

First, it overwhelmed the Bundesliga and returned to the second place in UEFA points. Finally, when it met Liverpool in Kiev in 2018, it regained the top spot in UEFA points.

Ten years ago, when Manchester United helped the Premier League return to the first league after 22 years, it created a magical record of 25 unbeaten Champions League games. Now, Manchester United has once again become a major contributor to the Premier League's aspirations to the first league. It is because they have won a Europa League championship in a row in four years, reached the Champions League final three times, and achieved an impressive record of defending the title, which has the result of the Premier League overwhelming La Liga.

And this season, Manchester United is expected to achieve another great achievement, and that is to win the championship with a record of victory!

In the previous 6 Champions League group matches and 6 knockout games, Manchester United has won all of them. As long as they beat Liverpool in the Champions League final again within 90 minutes, they will become the first team in the history of the Champions League to win the championship with a record.

………………

The war is imminent.

Ye Su naturally attached great importance to this match. All of Manchester United's healthy players were taken to Kiev by him.

Liverpool is paying more attention to this game. In this game, Liverpool even had the meaning of "fighting for honor". They wanted to tell everyone with their own actions: Although Liverpool is temporarily down, it is not something that Manchester United can bully.

In an interview with the media, Liverpool coach Klopp told the media with confidence that Liverpool will definitely be able to beat Manchester United in this game. Apart from this, he will not accept any other results.

"... winning is the goal, my players are in good shape, my team is in good shape, the fans are looking forward to winning, everything says 'ready', yes, this game, we're ready Already!"

Klopp was so confident that local newspapers in Liverpool even used words like "Liverpool's pride" to describe the determination and confidence of the head coach, thinking that he is a truly proud Liverpool at this time. People have bones and dignity.

However, Ye Su didn't take Klopp's words to heart when he was interviewed later. He said: "I don't want to say anything more. Winning is everyone's wish. He made a wish. It's okay." , It's normal. After the game is over, everything will be decided naturally."

………………

Ye Su really didn't understand how confident Klopp was when he said that he would definitely win against Manchester United.

Liverpool's lineup is not weak, the goalkeeper is the German teenager Karius, the defense has the Senegalese central defender and the Swedish Lindelof, the midfielder has generals like Henderson, Milner and Wijnaldum, and the striker It is a trident composed of Salah, Mane and Firmino, the most fantastic players in the Premier League this season.

With such a strong lineup, although they finally ranked third in the Premier League, the league points are 25 points less than Manchester United. In the league, they were double-killed against Manchester United in two rounds, and they still want to kill Manchester United?

Ye Su really wanted to ask Klopp, who gave him such courage? Liang Jingru? They shouldn't know each other, right? !

Ye Su was in no mood to spar with Klopp before the game: this man was no threat to him, and he had no time to pay attention to it.

However, Klopp is quite active.

Half a day before the start of the game, Klopp said some words to stimulate Manchester United in an interview with the BBC.

"Liverpool are the best at stopping other people from breaking records. This night may make Manchester United sad, but this is football."

Ye Su really wanted to give that old man with a big beard a bah: Ignore you, are you still addicted? Liverpool are good at breaking records, whose record have you broken? Tell me something?

In the end, Ye Su still ignored it, he was too lazy to move his mouth, anyway, the match was about to happen, and the real story was on the field.

………………

The lights are on.

On the way to the Olympic Stadium in Kiev, the red tide surged.

Manchester United, who drew the home team in this game, is red, and Liverpool, the visiting team, is also red. Therefore, if you look down from a high altitude, you will see a red wave, like a fiery lava, heading towards the brightly lit Olympic Stadium in Kiev.

In this game, the local police in Kiev were also on the verge of an enemy, and even put a lot of pressure on the turbulent Ukraine.

Some media broke the news that on Thursday night, a group of Liverpool fans were attacked by about 20 mobs from Ukraine while they were having dinner.

After a restaurant fight, something even more strange happened. After the Kiev local police arrived at the scene, only the leader of the mob was arrested, while the rest were not detained. In addition, an injured Liverpool fan was arrested Roughly crushed the police car, which caused strong dissatisfaction among Liverpool fan groups.

In addition, on the day of the final, a bomb alert was received in Kiev, and five subway stations were forced to close.

………………

After the warm-up, the players from both sides returned to the locker room.

In the locker room of the home team at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev, Ye Su looked at the players who had changed their jerseys and prepared for the final mobilization.

"Forget about the noise from the media, and don't think about undefeated records." Ye Su said, "I have only one request, and put all my energy into the game in front of me!"

"I heard some comments. Some people wonder why I didn't argue with Klopp. I don't bother to pay attention to him. The strength of the team, the state, we are better than the opponent, the game is kicked out, you can win without talking Ball. I have faith in you guys so I don't bother to talk to him. That's why."

"Of course, I'm better than Klopp in comparison to the head coach." Ye Su paused and said.

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room, and the tense mood and atmosphere eased a little.

The media constantly played up the three consecutive Champions League titles, which of course made Manchester United very proud, but the players would inevitably be affected. If you keep thinking about creating the miracle of three consecutive Champions League titles in your mind, it will always have a psychological impact.

"That's right, victory belongs to us!"

"We are winners!"

"Boss, are you going to say Klopp is the winner at the end of the game?" Vardy yelled.

"Of course!" Ye Su laughed loudly.

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.

Ye Su waved his hand vigorously, and said loudly, "Okay, I won't say more if it's superfluous, let's step on Liverpool's corpse and move on!"

………………

Meanwhile, in the visiting team's locker room.

Klopp was pacing back and forth in the dressing room, the players were getting ready, they were staring at the manager, waiting for him to speak.

Klopp was a little anxious. Don't look at him with a confident look when facing the media, but he was actually panicked in his heart.

It has been almost three years since I took over the team in 2015. But in three years, Liverpool did not win any championship. Such a result obviously cannot satisfy the Liverpool executives. The Liverpool executives have given him an ultimatum. If the results cannot improve, he will pack up and leave.

"Manchester United must use their best defense and counterattack." After walking back and forth for several times, Klopp finally stopped. He put his hands on the table, looked at the players and said, "So, we must not be impatient in this game. Don't give Manchester United the space and opportunity to sneak attack!

"If we are eager to score and press aggressively, we will be fooled by Ye Su. So as I said before, in this game, we must defend well, and we cannot attack."

"Conceding the ball is the first priority. Everyone knows that Manchester United is best at defensive counterattacks. Therefore, I ask you to consider defense first in the game."
