Just the day after Qin Xiong broke the annual goal record that Ged Muller was once considered a flash in history, even greater good news came from Liverpool.

Defending champion Liverpool won the league half-time championship!

At the same time, it topped the standings for the first time this season!

First of all, a game staged at Old Trafford on December 31st the same day, with Manchester United playing against Blackburn at home.

Today is Ferguson's birthday at the same time!

It was on the day of the Lord's birthday that Manchester United created a shocking upset at home!

At the end of the Premier League at the end of 2011, Manchester United failed to score 3 points in the league's deputy squad leader Black himself. Although he temporarily equalized the score with two goals from Berbatov, he was eventually defeated by the opponent. It was the biggest upset in the Premier League in nearly 20 years, and it also made Sir Ferguson's 70th birthday very uneasy.

However, another surprise in the game on the eve of the previous game was Rooney. Ferguson had no intention of sending Rooney to the court in that game, and the latter did not even get on the bench! Could it be that the old sir was too underestimating the enemy? No!

According to reports from the Daily Mail, in fact, the Red Devils star was severely punished by Ferguson. Lu Xiaopang left the team without authorization on Boxing Day, the night of Manchester United's game against Wigan, and took his wife Colleen to have a dinner together. This openly ignored the team rules and said that "the club explicitly prohibited going out that night" made Manchester United coach Ferguson very unhappy, and also made the latter think of hiding Rooney.

The Daily Mail also revealed that Rooney's teammates Evans, Gibson and their respective female companions attended the dinner together.

However, the matter has not finished here. During the training of the Manchester United team the next day, Rooney, Evans and Gibson brought the "happy atmosphere" the previous night to the training ground, and even discussed the things that happened that night in a flash. This made Ferguson, who was already unhappy, furious. Rooney, the "leader" was called to Ferguson's office and felt the reprimand of a "hair dryer".

The Daily Mail said that Rooney, who was scolded, was also accused of not playing against Blackburn and would be fined 200,000 pounds from the club.

At the same time, the next day, Manchester United's team took a vacation and relaxed. Gibson, Evans and Rooney were ordered to practice more by the iron-fisted Sir Florida.

The reprimand, practice plus a huge fine, made Lu Xiaopang, who was in the center of the storm very dissatisfied. The Manchester United striker felt that he had been treated unfairly, and Rooney protested to the old coach Ferguson, and a fierce conflict broke out between the two.

Of course, from Keane, Stam and Beckham, no one can challenge Ferguson's absolute authority. No matter how famous he is and the halo on his head shines, Ferguson is the only king here. Rooney's dissatisfaction and protests can only be futile. In this game against Blackburn, Rooney had no choice but to appear in the stands at Old Trafford.

In fact, the conflict between Rooney and Ferguson has broken out. Not to mention a season ago, Rooney was deeply involved in a transfer storm. It is said that Lu Xiaopang's move was strongly dissatisfied by the veterans led by Scholes. How is Rooney's "dinner" ending? Will this Red Devils star be like Beckham and Stam then been swept out by the old Lord like him? This has become an unknown number.

Ferguson himself did not want to expand the situation further. The Lord explained Rooney's absence: "Rooney's training this week is not systematic, and he has not trained much in the past few days. So I think he can recover after the systematic training today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. He may be a little too tired."

Although Ferguson defended Rooney in front of the media, according to other rumors, Ferguson himself complained to his confidants around him that Rooney's professionalism is far less than that of the world's superstars. This is also an important reason why Rooney, who became famous in 2004, cannot compete with Ronaldo, Messi, and Qin Xiong at his peak at his age, and even gets farther and farther away from them!

Ferguson was very disappointed with this!

Manchester United lost the third game of the Devil's schedule, creating a shocking cold.

At the same time, one day later, Manchester City's other team, the two Manchester City team, was even more jaw-dropping, and they also created a shocking cold.

At the Light Stadium, Mancini's team bombed more than 30 shots and failed to knock on Sunderland's goal. Instead, Sunderland staged a controversial finale in injury time!

The two Manchester City heroes lost at the same time!

Liverpool took advantage of the profits and surpassed the top scorer in one fell swoop!

Because of the offside killer Chi Dong-won's final victory, the Manchester Cityman lost 0-1 to the Black Cat Sunderland at the Light Stadium.

After the game, the furious Manchester City coach Mancini did not accuse the referee Kevin Fred, who was obviously misjudged at the post-match press conference. On the contrary, the Italians focused more on the team's own performance. He believed that the team failed to seize the opportunity well, and the slackness on the defensive end led to failure.

"I'm very disappointed. In the second half we had many good opportunities to score. Although we failed to score, we shouldn't have lost such a game. In the last 10 minutes we gave the opponent two or three shots, and each time it was very dangerous. A strong team shouldn't have lost such a game. Sometimes the game will be tough, but even if you can't win, you shouldn't have lost. You have to work hard to defend. Sometimes you're investing 7 players to attack, because if you invest more, you can be hit and fight back like us. In the second half, the team performed much better than before. We had to win this game, but it was really difficult."

Mancini also said that we still have to play the remaining games: "Now we have to focus on the next game. We have to play the second game in 48 hours. We had a lot of opportunities to get rid of other teams in the standings, but the league is still long and we have 19 games to play. We have to get another 45 points."

There is also a big unpopular result in this round at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea lost 1:3 at home at home at Aston Villa. Di Matteo's team is more than enough to fight back against opponents, but when they have to attack and be beaten by their opponents because they cannot win the game in a row, that is another matter!

Arsenal was lucky to win the Queens Park Rangers 1-0 at home with Van Persie's final victory and successfully entered the top four Champions League zones.

After 19 rounds of the league, Liverpool won the half-time championship.

The standings are as follows.

Liverpool scored 46 points.

Manchester City scored 44 points.

Manchester United scored 44 points.

Arsenal scored 36 points.
