This feeling became even stronger as he truly stepped into Anfield Stadium.
Due to the lighting on the field not reaching some of the fans in the upper stands, they appeared as a dense, dark mass, with only their eyes and heads moving, creating a strong sense of pressure.
Banners of all kinds had long been set up at the front of the stands; today they were anticipating a revenge match, and hoping the team could reach the English League Cup final and win the championship of this cup!
...
"Beep!"
The match officially kicked off at 7:30 PM. Today, Liverpool fielded a highly targeted lineup.
Goalkeeper Reina, followed by a defense line of Glen Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, and Martin Kelly. The midfield had a double pivot, with Spirin partnering Henderson standing behind.
In front of them were Gerrard and Charlie Adam, returning from injury..... On the forward line, winger Bellamy partnered with target man Andy Carroll.
