Anfield Stadium.
Its English name is Anfield Stadium, also translated as Anfield.
Located in the Anfield district of Liverpool, Merseyside, England, it is a four-star stadium of the Union of European Football Associations and the home ground of Premier League club Liverpool.
It is 1.8 kilometers from Kirkdale Train Station, 6.4 kilometers from the M57-J6 long-distance bus station, and 13.3 kilometers from John Lennon Airport.
Just this year, after Fenway Sports Group from the United States acquired Liverpool, it was decided to expand Anfield Stadium.
However, the specific construction will not start until 2014.
On the day of the Liverpool vs. Arsenal match.
Approximately forty thousand fans arrived at the stadium an hour early.
Although Anfield Stadium has a total of 61,276 seats, ranking fourth in capacity across the Premier League.
However, the highest historical attendance record was set in the distant February 2, 1952, in a FA Cup fourth-round match between Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers, with 61,905 people.
The Premier League match with the most spectators was on January 14, 2006, in a match between Liverpool and Tottenham, which recorded 44,983 people.
Therefore, the fact that 40,000 fans attended today's match between Liverpool and Arsenal indicates that this match has a high level of attention.
Of course, Fly knew that the highest attendance record at Anfield Stadium in the future, in 2024, would be broken by his girlfriend's Eras Tour.
Just thinking about it, Fly felt immense pressure!
Damn, the person he's bound to is indeed a bit too formidable in the future. He feels like even becoming the GOAT of football wouldn't be enough to overshadow her!
After all, the audience for pop music is definitely far larger than that for football.
Forget about football, even combining all sports, the audience still can't compare to music!
Thinking of this, Fly secretly encouraged himself, he must work hard!
Before his partner completely takes off, he needs to quickly make a name for himself.
At least at this stage, the global fame of a football superstar is still slightly higher than his girlfriend's.
If Fly remembers correctly, Taylor's true rise should be counted from when she transitioned into a pop singer.
2012's 'Red' can only be considered a semi-pop album.
2014's '1989' was Taylor's first truly pop music album.
Taylor also began her path to godhood from this time.
Calculating this way, Fly still has ample time and a complete opportunity to surpass his girlfriend.
As for Taylor completely becoming something else later, that can only be discussed in the future.
In terms of fame, the ceiling for football is clear, and it truly cannot compare to music.
Fly will see if he can further increase his fame ceiling through other means in the future.
After all, Fly does not want others' first reaction when they think of him in the future to be 'the man of global superstar Taylor Swift'.
This is simply a great humiliation for a transmigator with a cheat like Fly!
Although eating soft rice is incredibly delicious, Fly still has his dignity.
At least he cannot be outshone by his rich celebrity girlfriend.
"So, the path to ascension officially begins with this match!"
Fly made up his mind. His League debut in his professional career must be astounding!
Even if he's a substitute, he must be a super substitute!
Sitting on the bus, the entire Arsenal team arrived at Anfield Stadium about an hour early.
Looking at the sea of red people outside, a feeling of pride couldn't help but rise in Fly's heart.
Although most of the people in front of him were Liverpool fans.
But Fly felt it was very necessary to put on a performance in front of them that would make them feel pain!
At least it could leave a deep impression on Liverpool fans, right?
At the pre-match press conference, Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson made a strong statement:
"We must win this match at Anfield, there is no other possibility!"
"As for Arsenal, I am very sorry, a team that has won nothing in the past 5 years can no longer be called a strong team!"
"We will completely defeat them at Anfield today!"
Perhaps it was because there had been a lot of recent media reports about Fly, Hodgson uncharacteristically commented on a player who had not yet made a formal match appearance:
"I have seen a lot of news media recently reporting on that kid."
"To be honest, I don't know what there is to report. Isn't he just a young player who played pretty well in the youth academy?"
"But you should know that every year in England, a few so-called geniuses appear, but ultimately only a minority truly make it."
"I am skeptical about that kid's future. Perhaps he truly can grow into a talented player in the future."
"But absolutely not now, and absolutely not in the match against Liverpool."
"In today's match, if he plays, I will give him an unforgettable debut experience, and I hope he doesn't lose confidence."
When Arsène Wenger was interviewed and learned of Hodgson's comments, he didn't care, just smiled slightly:
"It's strange that a team that has never reached the top in the Premier League era is pointing fingers at a team that has won the Premier League title three times."
"I don't want to say anything, today's match is the best answer."
In the locker room.
Assistant coach Bould reviewed the tactical details with everyone again.
Fly listened while his mind wandered.
To be honest, in his eyes, this Liverpool team is not strong at all right now.
It can be said that from the time Liverpool reached the Champions League Final twice in three years between 2005 and 2007, until the Klopp era, Liverpool was never great during this period.
Perhaps during the time Suarez was there later, Liverpool had some competitiveness.
But Suarez came to Liverpool in the winter transfer window of 2011, and at this time, he is still playing for Ajax in the Dutch League.
The current Liverpool squad is indeed quite weak, and even slightly inferior to Arsenal's squad!
