When Baros scored the winning goal in the 84th minute, the whole Anfield was jubilant, and the team led 2-0.
The camera panned to Monaco, and the familiar Giuly and Morientes had already left, and this team became a little strange.
At this time, Benitez used two substitutions in a row, replacing Gerrard and Li Qiao.
On-site commentator Martin Taylor said with a smile: "It seems that Benitez is going to prepare for the weekend double red meeting."
Indeed, if Benitez wants to prove himself, then the weekend's double red will be the most important.
At the end of the game, Liverpool got a good start to the new season of the Champions League. After shaking hands with the opposing coach, Benitez quickly disappeared in the player channel at Anfield. There are still three days before he has to prepare for an important game.
Once upon a time, Liverpool had a huge psychological advantage over Manchester United. The 18 top league titles and 4 Champions League trophies reminded opponents who is the king of the Premier League. However, since the establishment of the Premier League, it is embarrassing that Liverpool has not won the Premier League title.
This is a very weird thing, even many Liverpool fans have not thought of it, but it is true.
And Manchester United behind them quietly caught up. Under the leadership of Ferguson, Manchester United is now better than Liverpool in terms of performance.
The most direct impact of the closer strength is that the duel between the two sides is more attractive, and the current double red will feel more like a national derby.
For various reasons, the game was eventually scheduled for a Monday, and when Liverpool arrived in Manchester on Saturday, Benitez felt the atmosphere, which was crazier than the derby atmosphere he had experienced in Valencia.
Manchester United fans held up a fake Premier League trophy with a big "Liverpool NO," written on it, mocking Liverpool for not winning the Premier League.
Faced with all kinds of provocations, Liverpool players can only keep their heads down and have no choice to fight, otherwise they will be in trouble.
But at this moment, Gerrard pointed four fingers at the Manchester United fans, the meaning is very clear, we have four Champions League trophies, but you do not.
This is also the biggest pain for Manchester United fans. It is an indisputable fact that they lost to their opponents in the Champions League. The war of words before the game made the upcoming double red will become more intense.

Liverpool got used to the field at Old Trafford on Sunday, but an accident happened. Baros and Manchester United fans got into a quarrel. It stands to reason that when the players stepped on the field, the opposing fans were not allowed to enter the field, but I don’t know if it was because of the lack of security at Old Trafford or on purpose. A dozen or so fans came in and insulted Baros.
I have to say that Premier League fans are also...
So many people will understand Cantona's flying legs back then. Players are also human beings, and they can't bear the abuse of their family members.
The Liverpool players pulled Barosch back. Cantona was suspended for playing fans for 8 months, impulsiveness is indeed the devil.
Gerrard went to the security at the scene, "We will definitely complain to the Premier League, this is Manchester United's intention."
"Sir, this is an oversight in our work."
Soon these troublesome fans were driven away, but it had a great impact on Liverpool fans, and their mood was spoiled.
Of course, Liverpool appealed this matter very quickly, but the fans are God, and this matter has not yet reached the level of illegality, so what Liverpool finally got was an apology from Manchester United.
Just when the war of words gradually subsided, another troublesome person appeared, and he was Keane.
The Irishman is the most troublesome player in world football, especially in the matchup with Arsenal, he almost got into a fight every time, and the same is true for Liverpool.
Big mouth Keane laughed at Liverpool's glass heart in an interview.
"They are just a few fans, and they are not as many as Liverpool. Could it be that they can still hurt each other?"
"If Liverpool players are that vulnerable, they should come with their own nanny, it might be safer."
As soon as this remark came out, of course the Liverpool people were angered. Many Liverpool media immediately counterattacked, because it was too easy to counterattack Keane. For example, he was expelled from the Irish national team, or he received N tickets from the Premier League.
Ferguson also felt that this was unnecessary, but at this time, Keane even scolded everyone in the team, such as his relationship with Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Ronaldo.
So Ferguson actually couldn't control Keane a little bit, and this was also the Irishman's last season at Manchester United.
Keane did something that made the Liverpool people even more irritated, that is, he accepted an interview with the Sun to scold Liverpool.
As we all know, because of the Hillsborough tragedy, the city of Liverpool has boycotted the Sun since then, and Liverpool players and players have never accepted interviews from The Sun, so it is self-evident what Keane means by this approach.

Sunday.
At the hotel where Li Qiao was staying, when Li Qiao passed by, a reporter was wearing a Liverpool jersey. He handed over the microphone. Li Qiao thought it was a reporter from Liverpool, so he leaned over, but when Li Qiao found out that he was a reporter from The Sun, he immediately became vigilant.
"Are you from the Sun?"
"Correct."
The sun on the microphone was very clear, so Li Qiao shook his head, "I don't accept interviews from The Sun."
"Why? It wasn't our fault that happened."
At this time, the Hillsborough tragedy has not been vindicated. Li Qiao remembers that it was more than 10 years later that the incident was truly vindicated. The final conclusion was that there was a problem with the security of the stadium, and it was not caused by the riots caused by Liverpool fans.
"Hehe, history will prove that you are a bunch of nonsense."
As a time traveler, Li Qiao watched an episode of World Football, which was made after the Hillsborough massacre was rehabilitated.
In fact, the truth of the matter is completely reversed. Liverpool fans are going to save people, but the Sun newspaper says they are going to steal the wallets of dead people.
The reporter blinked and said, "The truth is already clear. The Hillsborough tragedy was caused by the riots caused by Liverpool fans. Our Sun newspaper is just reporting the truth. I really don't know why Liverpool people are unreasonable."
As a bystander back then, Li Qiao felt very angry. This kind of inversion of black and white made people angry, but now Li Qiao is a party involved, no matter how good his temper is, he can't help it.
"Leave far away."
"Watch your words."
Li Qiao grabbed the microphone and threw it away, "Remember, I will never be interviewed by The Sun, get out."
At dinner that night, everyone knew about it and was a little surprised. After all, Li Qiao usually seemed very gentle, so how could he suddenly go crazy.
But Gerald patted Li Qiao on the shoulder, "Good job, if it were me, I would do the same."
