Perhaps the hatred between Chinese fans of Manchester United and Liverpool is not very deep, but in the UK, it is simply hell-level hatred. In fact, the hatred between the two cities dates back to the British industry before the establishment of the club. The seeds of revolution were sown. At the beginning of the 19th century, Manchester had rapidly developed into a British industrial center. There were many manufacturing factories in the city, but the raw materials required by these factories had to be shipped to the UK from the southern United States, and arriving at the British port was exactly Liverpool, that is to say, to reach Manchester, raw materials must pass through Liverpool, which is only 35 miles away. Originally, everything was fine, but one day, the Liverpool port unilaterally increased import tariffs on Manchester importers, causing the entire Manchester In order to retaliate against Liverpool, Manchester dug a man-made canal so that raw materials could reach Manchester directly without going through the Liverpool port. The cargo ship and canal can still be found in the team emblems of Manchester United and Manchester City.
For a long time, people in Liverpool have looked down on people in Manchester and ridiculed people in Manchester as blue-collar workers who make a living in manufacturing, while people in Liverpool are white-collar workers in finance and shipping. There is a saying: Said "There's the Liverpool gentleman and the Manchester man". People in Manchester laughed at Liverpool people as "Scousers" because Liverpool people used to make a living by eating a kind of fried beef called "scouse". Scousers is a derogatory word among Manchester people, but Scouse has become a neutral synonym for Liverpool. There is a difficult-to-understand British dialect called Scouse, which is the Liverpool dialect. (I watched a DVD of Rooney’s autobiography before, and I couldn’t understand more than three sentences of Rooney’s words.) Nowadays, the two cities of Manchester and Liverpool are fighting for the title of “Britain’s Second City” again...
The first confrontation between Manchester United and Liverpool F.C. was in October 1895. At that time, Liverpool defeated Manchester United 7-1, but in the second leg a month later, Manchester United responded with a 5-2 victory. The good show of fighting for each other is on.
The glory days of the two clubs can be divided by decade. The 1950s and 1960s were for Manchester United, and the subsequent 1970s and 1980s were all for Liverpool. From the 1990s to the present, it is Manchester United again. The strong Liverpool in the 1970s and 1980s allowed They are still ahead of Manchester United in terms of honors, with one league title ahead and two Champions League leads. Liverpool fans declare that they are the best club in the history of England. When facing Manchester United fans, they point out four fingers and shout "We've Got" FOUR!" (Now it's five fingers, We've Got FIVE!), and Manchester United fans claim that they are the symbol of England. Facing Liverpool fans, they only need to hold out 10 fingers! When facing Manchester United at Anfield, the flags on the pitch were all provocative to Manchester United. Unfortunately, Old Trafford banned flags a few years ago. If flags were not banned, all kinds of provocative flags would be indispensable!
What really made the two families become mortal enemies was their respective tragedies. After Manchester United's Munich air crash, some radical Liverpool fans ridiculed the tragedy and made up many songs that mocked the tragedy. Sing loudly during the match between the two sides! In the 1980s, the Hillsborough tragedy also occurred in Liverpool. Unfortunately, some radical Manchester United fans who were eager to retaliate responded in kind...
The hateful relationship between Manchester United and Liverpool is different from that of Real Madrid-Barcelona and Inter Milan-Milan. The two teams will not trade players directly. The last direct trade dates back to 1964. Last year, Heinze insisted on going to Liverpool, but Manchester United refused to agree. This resulted in one more person that Manchester United hated in FM2008. Heinze...
In fact, fans from both sides hate and fear the other club. There is a saying in the UK: "You hate who you fear". After all, Liverpool is the most successful club, and Manchester United has always been the pursuer. role; and Manchester United has completely suppressed Liverpool in the past 20 years, and now the main fan group of Liverpool has grown up watching Liverpool being suppressed by Manchester United, -_-.
Manchester United and Liverpool F.C. hate each other. Just one word, Greater Manchester (Lancashire) and Merseyside, just one word!
