Detailed introduction to the history of Liverpool Football Club
（1892～2005）
John Houlding (John Houlding), he was an ordinary businessman who later became Mayor of Liverpool. His greatest contribution in life was the founding of the most successful football club in English history - Liverpool Football Club.
Anfield Road (Anfield Road) was just a vacant lot on Anfield Road in Liverpool at the time. It belonged to the brewer John Orrell, and then it became the symbol of Liverpool Football Club. .
Everton Club was founded for Houlding and they use this open space on Anfield Road for their games. Later, Houlding built a stand for the stadium. However, by 1892, there was a split within the team. A group of people came to Goodison Stadium in Stanley Park, Liverpool, and continued to play games in the name of Everton Club. Houlding left some people to continue at Anfield and changed its name to Liverpool Football Club. Houlding appointed John McKennna as Liverpool FC's first coach. The following year Houlding went to Scotland to look for players. After a year of preparation, McKenna decided it was time to join the league.
Liverpool was promoted to the First Division in their first season, but they were still in the shadow of Everton. Many people were unwilling to watch a group of Evertonians play. Although the Liverpool players worked hard, they failed once and for all. Years later, they fell back to the second division. McKenna vowed at the time to return to the First Division within a year. As a result, they won the Second Division championship again and returned to the First Division. What's interesting is that in their second appearance in the First Division, Liverpool finished fifth in the league, higher than Everton in the same city. In this way, the two teams in the city of Liverpool began an indefinite contest.
Liverpool won the first top league championship in the club's history in the 1900-1901 season, but was relegated two years later. Fortunately, the team won the second division championship again the next year and returned. In Class A, in order to thank the fans for their support, Liverpool Club decided to build a new stand. This stand was named |Spion Kop|. Later, the sincere Liverpool fans who watched the game in this official fan stand were called KOP.
Before World War I, Liverpool won two more league titles. But from then until World War II, Liverpool didn't perform very well. In 1950, Liverpool lost to Arsenal in the FA Cup final, and was relegated to Serie B again in the 1953-1954 season. Liverpool languished in the next seven years.
After Sackley took charge of Liverpool in 1959, Liverpool could begin to create its own era. In Sackley's first twelve months at the helm, he sold twenty-four players. In the 1963/64 season, Liverpool won the sixth top league championship in the club's history. In 1965, Liverpool defeated Leeds United in the FA Cup and won the first FA Cup championship in the club's history. In the 1965/66 season, Liverpool won the league championship again.
The good form continued, and seven years later, in the 1972-1973 season, Liverpool Club won the UEFA Cup for the first time, and in the 1973/74 season, it won the English FA Cup for the second time. But Sackley suddenly resigned as coach at the beginning of the 1974/75 season. Although the reason is not known now, we must pay tribute to this man who should be the greatest coach in the history of the Red Army.
Sackley's assistant Bob Paisley maintained the Red Army's upward momentum after taking over. In his second year, he won the league championship and the UEFA Cup. In the 1976/77 season, Liverpool almost won the Triple Crown, because Liverpool won the league and European Champions Cup that year, but unfortunately lost to Manchester United 1-2 in the English FA Cup final. In the second year of the competition, Liverpool won the European Champions Cup again, becoming the first team in English history to win the European Champions Cup. In the five years from 1975 to 1980, Liverpool won four league championships, one for the first time. Two, invincible in England.
Entering the most glorious early 1980s, in 1981, Liverpool won the League Cup for the first time, and even defeated the powerful Real Madrid in the European Champions Cup, winning the European Champions Cup for the third time. Leigh retired honorably at this time, having won the local coach of the year award six times during his nine years at Liverpool. He is also a celebrity with outstanding achievements in the history of Liverpool.
As Liverpool's new coach, Fagan certainly hopes to continue the glory of the previous two coaches, so in the 1983/84 season Liverpool won the Triple Crown again. But disaster struck soon after. In the European Champions League final at the Heysel Stadium in Belgium, Liverpool faced Juventus. During the game, fans started fighting, causing the stadium wall to collapse, crushing 38 Juventus fans to death. The Football Association attributed the accident to Liverpool fans and banned all English teams from European competitions for five years, while the Champions League was awarded to Juventus.
Fagan resigned because of this incident, and the famous Dalglish took office in 1986, becoming the first player-coach in the history of Liverpool Club. Although Liverpool could not participate in European competitions, they still dominated domestic competitions. Dalglish continued to win the league and the FA Cup in his first season. In the 1987-1988 season, Liverpool won again. League champions, but unfortunately lost to Wimbledon in the FA Cup and failed to win the double.
In the 1988/89 season, the real disaster struck. In the FA Cup semi-finals at Sheffield Stadium, Liverpool played against the powerful Nottingham Forest. The game attracted a large number of Liverpool fans, and the height of the stadium Even though it was full, there were still many fans who did not enter. Many British stadiums at that time had no seats, so the fans pushed forward one after another, causing the fans in the front row to press against the fence. Those who were lucky enough to climb over the fence survived, and many People were squeezed to death in the stadium, resulting in the death of ninety-six fans and the injury of more than a thousand people. Liverpool defeated Forest in the replay, and at the start of the final, the players observed a moment of silence for the dead fans. With the blessing of the gods, Liverpool defeated Everton to win the FA Cup. A "rare" phenomenon occurred in the league that year. The final match of the league was held after the FA Cup. Liverpool and Arsenal could win the league championship as long as they did not lose two goals. However, Arsenal players scored in stoppage time. The goal forced Liverpool to finish second in the league, and Dalglish resigned under strong pressure.
Ronnie Moran became the interim coach, and in April 1991, Souness took office. He acquired many players. This coach known for his strictness did not bring anything to Liverpool. It was Liverpool's performance that declined, and the problems he left for the team would not be solved for a long time to come.
Evans began coaching Liverpool in 1995 and immediately led Liverpool to win the League Cup that year. Evans promoted many outstanding young players, although these players did not immediately make Liverpool a success. Achieve greatness again, because it doesn’t take just one or two years to get back on your feet. At the beginning of 1998, the club hired French coach Houllier to coach with Evans. However, this situation only lasted three months, and Evans left Liverpool, where he had played for thirty-five years. .
After Houllier took over the overall situation, the team's style of play began to change. It was no longer the offensive style that had been maintained for decades, but very conservative. Although it conceded very few goals, its offensive ability was still there. With the decline, some players who don't like to defend or have poor defensive ability have been sold or eliminated. Liverpool's games are getting worse and worse. McManaman, a talented player recognized by Liverpool fans, leaves Liverpool.
Houllier introduced seven players in the 1999 season, which was rare in history, and only two were offensive players, including Heskey, who set a record for Liverpool's acquisition of 11 million pounds. In such a main lineup Next, Liverpool's defense became more solid and difficult to break. In the 2001 season, Liverpool relied on a strong and balanced lineup of main players and substitutes to compete in many places and won all the cups they could participate in that year, becoming the first five-time champion in history. However, after that season, Houllier became more bold in buying and selling players, replacing many outstanding players, and even acquired Cisse for a record 14 million pounds. However, Liverpool's hidden dangers were gradually exposed.
Liverpool's defense can enable the team to win. Although Liverpool's defense is extremely stable, if something goes wrong or other reasons occur, Liverpool will collapse. In 2002, Liverpool's performance declined due to suspensions and injuries of defensive players, and it also set a record of ten games. A new record in history.
Irving left the Red Army in the 2004/05 season. Liverpool, under the leadership of new head coach Benitez, has a more balanced offense and defense. Liverpool suffered from injuries during the season, but still advanced to the Champions League final with high morale. After falling behind by three goals in the first half of the final, they fought back and won the final victory in a penalty shootout. Benitez's scheduling and goalkeeper Dudek's classic performance helped Liverpool win the European Champions Cup for the fifth time and return to the top of Europe. Liverpool also became one of the rare clubs to retain the official UEFA Champions League trophy.
Liverpool’s history continues, with glory and dreams coexisting.

It turned into a professional team in 1885, joined the British Football League in 1892, and changed its name to Manchester United in 1902. Since its establishment more than a century ago, Manchester United has experienced countless victories and defeats, and also experienced a disaster that shocked the world. Manchester United's first heyday occurred in the early 20th century. During the four-year period from 1908 to 1911, Manchester United won two league championships and one FA Cup championship under the leadership of head coach Chapman. It became the most popular team in British football at that time. Because the team's uniform was red, fans gave Manchester United a nickname, calling it "The Red Devils of British Football". But in the following days, Manchester United's performance became worse and worse, and was eventually relegated to the second division team, falling into a trough. In the mid-1950s, under the guidance of coach Busby, Manchester United ushered in its second peak period. At that time, professional football in various European countries continued to develop, and a large amount of money poured into football matches, making teams in various countries more and more focused on winning in the league. Manchester United is no exception. They spent a lot of money to buy or retain a number of outstanding stars such as Wallerter, Taylor, Whelan, and Charlton, and won the league twice in 1956 and 1957. It reached the semi-finals of two European Champions Cups in the 1956-57 and 1957-58 seasons, losing to Real Madrid for the first time. When they were competing for the European Champions Cup for the second time, an unprecedented air crash caused Manchester United to miss the championship again. It was February 6, 1958.

In the end, Manchester United Missed the championship again. In the mid-1960s, Manchester United ushered in its most glorious period to date.

Under Busby's command, the team finally defeated Portugal's Benfica 4-1 in London on May 29, 1968, winning the European Champions Cup for the first time for Britain. Charlton finally achieved his tragic death. oaths sworn at the graves of teammates. Although Manchester United in the 1970s had famous players such as Kidd, Robson, and Harros, due to the lack of management of the entire club and its policies and policies, it was unable to achieve any good results again. On November 5, 1986, Alex Ferguson came to England to coach Manchester United. He brought another spring to Manchester United. Ferguson faced tremendous pressure and did not flinch. He adjusted the team's tactics and incorporated more technical elements into his team, instead of just playing traditional English football. Under his painstaking management, , Manchester United won the FA Cup in 1990, the European Cup Winners' Cup and the European Super Cup in 1991, ending the British team's 23-year history of missing the three major European Cups. In 1992, Manchester United won the League Cup and the league runner-up.

< p>Team informationThe word "Arsenal" means arsenal in English. After more than a hundred years of hard work, the Arsenal team has achieved outstanding results, making it the most famous and most famous team in England. It is one of the oldest football teams in the world, and has also received the nickname "The Gunners" which is well-known in Europe. From this, we can see the team's invincible lethality on the court and the respect and admiration of its fans and opponents. In 1886, a group of workers working in arsenals in England organized a private football club in Woolwich, south London, and named it "Standard Battalion" after one of the factories. This is the predecessor of today's Arsenal Football Club. In 1913, the team moved to Seabury in the north, and the team was officially named Arsenal in 1927. Today's Arsenal team has achieved brilliant results in the UK, but in the past 44 years since its establishment, the team has achieved nothing and has not won any awards. Winner of an official competition. After Arsenal won their first championship, the FA Cup, in 1930, they were out of control. Over the past 70 years, they have won 11 league championships, 7 FA Cup championships, and 2 League Cup championships. , 1 Cup Winners' Cup, 1 UEFA Cup and dozens of other championship titles. It is very prominent among English clubs. It is a powerful club in England and is also very influential and popular in European football. The 1930s were the first high point in Arsenal's history. They won the league championship five times and the FA Cup twice in eight years, in 1931, 1933-1935, 1938, 1930, and 1936. In addition, they also won the Charity Shield five times. It can be said that the English football team in the 1930s was dominated by Arsenal. Its achievements were unparalleled and it was called the "leader" of British football at that time. After experiencing glory in the 1930s, Arsenal entered a low ebb, with no achievements. It was glorious again around the 1950s, winning two league championships in 1948 and 1953, and the FA Cup in 1950. Then the team went quiet, with mediocre results. In the early 1970s, Arsenal, under the leadership of the best coach in its history, won the league and cup double championships in one fell swoop, and climbed to the European Championship podium for the first time - winning the 1970 European Football Fair Cup. That is, the UEFA Cup championship, which made Arsenal Football Club truly powerful in European football, and made fans across Europe deeply remember "Arsenal". The team reached its second peak in history, and many players entered Arsenal. The Namibia team is proud to play football, and the team's supporters are all over England and Europe. After the peak comes the trough. After the second peak, Arsenal entered a low ebb period. This time, it was quiet for a longer time. It was nearly 20 years. It was not until the late 1980s that the team rose again and entered the third peak in history. Expect. One person must be mentioned here. It was under his leadership that the Arsenal team was able to regain its glory. He was Graham, who used to play and coach at Arsenal. Graham began coaching Arsenal in 1986. As a player and coach, he has lifted the championship trophies of England's three major domestic cups, and his achievements are quite impressive. Arsenal has taken off rapidly since he took charge, becoming the strongest team among English clubs in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and entering the third peak period in the team's history. During this period, Arsenal won two league championships (1989 and 1991) and League Cup championships (1987 and 1993), and won the FA Cup (1993) and the Charity Shield (1991) once each. , and what is even more eye-catching and exciting and inspiring to British fans is that Arsenal defeated Paris Saint-Germain, Parma and other strong teams to win the 1994 European Cup Winners' Cup. You must know that the English team at that time was in the European battlefield. In the past few years, the entire army has been almost wiped out. What makes the originators of modern football even more embarrassed is that their national team failed to even enter the 1994 World Cup. Arsenal's victory has greatly restored face for the British team, built confidence and gained experience, which is undoubtedly of great significance. They finished second again in the 1995 Cup Winners' Cup.
After the start of the 1996-1997 season, the famous French coach Arsene Wenger took over the coaching staff of Arsenal and kept the team strong and ranked first in the league standings for a long time. Unfortunately, it fell short in the later stages and ultimately failed to break Manchester United's dominance. situation. The Arsenal team was not discouraged, but instead stimulated their fighting spirit. In the 1997-1998 season, they regained the glory of the 1970s and once again won the league and cup double championship. In a league with many strong players, Set a record of 16 unbeaten games. In the past three seasons in the league, Arsenal has never been able to achieve greater success, failed to surpass Manchester United, and finished second in the league for three consecutive years. In the 2000-2001 season, when Arsenal saw no hope of winning the league championship, they pinned their hopes on the FA Cup to save some face. As a result, they lost to the excellent Liverpool team and once again finished second, which shocked the fans. Disappointed. p;
Among the top players in the Premier League in the 2001-2002 season, Arsenal was the most unstable during the summer break. Vieira was clamoring to leave, and Wenger had not renewed his contract. But Arsenal has gained the most. Getting Campbell for free is what many teams dream of. Since Arsenal has bought new players on all four lines, running in the lineup is Wenger's primary issue. In terms of strength, Arsenal is Manchester United's strongest opponent this season. Once they are stopped in the Champions League, they will pose a greater threat to Manchester United in the league. However, last season Arsenal often lost the tenacious spirit they have always been proud of, and even lost 1-6 to Manchester United. They must not make such a mistake again this season.
Honorary list: 12 top league champions, 9 FA Cup champions, 2 League Cup champions, and 1 Winners Cup champion.
