On December 12, the day after Christmas, Westerners call it Boxing Day.
The UK is different from other European leagues. Not only does it not have a winter break, but the Premier League will usher in almost the most intensive schedule in a season during Christmas and New Years.
There is a tradition in the Premier League or League One. In the league held around Boxing Day, players from both sides will attack desperately, hoping to score more goals and give the fans a big victory.
Even after this round of the league, the Football Association counts the total number of goals scored by all teams in this round of the league, and compares it with the number of goals scored in previous years to predict the fortune of the new year.
历史上最疯狂的节礼日可能要上溯到1963年，在那年的10场节礼日联赛中，总共攻入了66个进球，其中不乏伯恩利主场6比1砍翻曼联、富勒姆10比1让伊普斯维奇蒙羞、利物浦6比1战胜斯托克城以及布莱克本客场8比2狂胜西汉姆联这样的大比分经典。
In addition, this round of competition also staged 3 high-scoring draws.
Nottingham Forest ended 3-3 against Sheffield United and Wolves against Aston Villa, while West Bromwich Albion ended up 4-4 against Tottenham Hotspur.This round of League One also set a record for the most goals scored in a single round in the history of England's top league.
And if that wasn't crazy enough, then in the second round of the League One match, which took place two days after this round, many teams that had suffered a crushing defeat 2 hours ago were able to immediately come back.
两天前的比赛中西汉姆联主场2比8输给布莱克本后，居然在客场的埃德伍德公园球场3比1拿下了对手，而刚刚客场输给伯恩利5球的曼联回到老特拉福德也用一个5比1回敬了对手。更加难得的是刚刚主场1比10输给富勒姆的伊普斯维奇，在接下来的比赛中客场4比2战胜了富勒姆，要知道伊普斯维奇在那个赛季最终联赛排名垫底降级。
On Boxing Day this year, Arsenal 2-0 Fulham, Chelsea 1-0 Villa, Manchester United 2-0 Bolton, Everton 2-1 Manchester City.Such a score made Boxing Day dull. However, at the Hawthorns, Liverpool, which has always been criticized offensively, gave the fans the biggest score difference in a single game this season.
Before the game against West Bromwich Albion, the captain of the Red Army led an alternative ball boy in the player tunnel.
When people saw the Asian face of the caddy clearly, they also saw the leg brace on the caddy's right leg.
Jiang Xiaoyu's face was flushed, not sure if it was because of excitement or because of the cold weather.Holding the hand of captain Steven Gerrard, he limped into the Hawthorns Stadium and was greeted by the cheers of [-] players.
"Steven, will we win the game?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked quietly.
"Jiang, just wait, we will give the fans a perfect victory!"
Gerald was full of fighting spirit, and there was no sign of boasting on his face.
Sure enough, only 15 minutes into the game, Gerrard made a cross from the right and accurately passed the ball to Riise.The latter pushed lightly and pushed the far corner into the net 6 yards before the goal.
Riise's goal completely sparked Liverpool's offensive frenzy.
In the 39th minute, Nunez's header was blocked by defender Contra in front of the goal line. The Romanian was sent off by referee Stiles.
Barosh's penalty was scored overnight, rewriting the score to 2-0.
In the second half, players from both sides changed sides to fight again.
In the 51st minute, Riise made a pass from the left, and Pangler made a volley shot from 12 yards in the middle, and the ball rebounded and hit the goal.
Four minutes later, Harman flicked a free kick, and Gerrard shot from 4 yards in the middle.The ball passed through the wall and flew into the net on the uprights.
Less than an hour later, Liverpool were leading 4-0.
West Brom, who is in the past, can't organize a decent counterattack with one less player.Although sitting at home, they were all overwhelmed by Liverpool within 90 minutes.
In the 72nd minute, Alonso made a cross from the right, and Riise scored twice with a volley from far.
5 to 0 is enough to make the Red Army fans who came to watch the game scream and go crazy.
In particular, a group of invited Chinatown fans in the stands jumped and shouted the names of every starting player of the Red Army one by one, becoming a beautiful scenery in the stands.
In the final stage of the game, Liverpool's offense was like a tide.
Moreover, with the "effort" of players such as the midfielder and frontcourt, three free kicks in good positions were created.
These three free kicks were all taken by Tang Wu, who was doing nothing in the audience, and Tang Wu also chose to attack the goal without exception.It's a pity that none of the three free kicks hit the goal frame.
"Oh! God! If TOM's ball was lower, he would have scored!" A Red Army fan who came with the team said regretfully, holding his head.
That's right, although Tang Wu's three free kicks were not on target, but from the point of view of the ball, one ball is more accurate than the other.Especially the last ball directly hit West Brom's crossbar and flew out of bounds.
This is enough to make the fans excited, TOM may become Liverpool's youngest goalkeeper in league history!
In the 89th minute, Liverpool scored the last goal of the game.
Gerrard made an oblique pass from the left of the restricted area, and Luis Garcia outflanked the goal in the middle to lock the score at 6-0.
Such a hearty victory swept away the depression of Liverpool fans for more than two months.
Liverpool has not won such a big victory for a long time!
All the Red Army fans were like sailors seeing the sun after the storm, shouting frantically in the stands one by one.
After the game, Red Army captain Steven Gerrard said excitedly to the camera: "Chelsea? Oh no, I won't go to Chelsea!"
"Since my first appearance for Liverpool, the support from the fans here has been huge. We are home and away and I always feel the power of the fans behind me to push me forward."
"I've turned Chelsea down once this summer and it's not hard for me to turn them down again."
"Also, offers from Real Madrid and Barcelona were also rejected by me."
"I have a good deal with the club and I will not leave!"
"This year, my daughter was born here and I'm going to stay in Liverpool and take care of my girlfriend and my daughter."
"I want Lily to be a Liverpool fan because I love this city and this team so much!"
"In the days to come, I want to do my best to win as many honors as possible for Liverpool, and I very much hope to be part of that success."
"Here I have the best teammates and the most genuine fans in the world and we will make it!"
The next day, seeing Gerald, who was holding his daughter in one arm and his girlfriend in the other, on the headline of "Echo", Tang Wu smiled slightly and said to himself: "It seems that you have finally made a choice. "
