THE REDS, THE COLOURS


Liverpool, kota tua di Inggris yang menyimpan sejuta cerita. Di sanalah lahir band legendaries The Beatles dan klub sepak bola raksasa dunia, Liverpool Football Club (FC). Lebih dari seratus tahun Liverpool FC menghangatkan hati rakyat Inggris Raya dengan prestasinya yang luar biasa di dunia sepak bola internasional.
Klub sepak bola English Premier League ini merupakan salah satu klub paling sukses dalam sejarah sepak bola. Merunut sejarah, Liverpool FC lebih banyak menyabet piala ketimbang klub – klub lainnya di Inggris. Lima kali meraih Piala Eropa, tiga kali menyabet Piala UEFA dan Super UEFAm delapan belas gelar liga, tujuh kali Piala FA dan delapan kali merebut Piala Liga. Terbayang bagaimana panjangnya perebutan piala – piala dan gelar – gelar tersebut hingga membuat Liverpool FC berjaya sepanjang masa.
Kit yang dipakai sepanjang sejarah Liverpool FC selalu berwarna merah. Tak mengherankan jika kemudian klub sepak bola ini mendapatkan julukan The Reds. Namun pada usia dini The Reds bukanlah The Reds. Sebelum tahun 1894, Liverpool FC memiliki kemiripan kit dengan musuh satu wilayahnya, klub sepak bola Everton. Tidak terlihat istimewa. Saat itu seragam Liverpool FC berwarna biru-putih dengan celana pendek biru dongker. Mereka lebih seperti klubsepak bola Blackburn Rovers saat ini. Sedangkan kaos kakinya memiliki warna sama dengan celana pendeknya.
Seiring berjalannya waktu, Liverpool FC mengambil warna merah sebagai ciri khas mereka. Tapi warna merad dipakai pada T-shirtnya saja. Sedangkan warna putih tetap dipertahankan sebagai warna celana pendeknya. Ketika Bill Shankly duduk sebagai manajer klub sepak bola ini, warna merah menjadi warna yang utuh bagi Liverpool FC. Tahun 1964, klub ini tampil dengan warna merah seutuhnya untuk pertama kali ketika bertanding melawan Anderlecht.
Ian St. John, salah satu punggawa Liverpool FC menuliskan dalam otobiografinya bahwa Bill Shankly pernah menyatakan, warna merah membawa dampak psikologis yang kuat. Merah itu berbahaya, merah itu powerful. Ian menceritakan saat itu Shankly mendatangi ruang ganti pean. Kemudian dia melemparkan celana pendek berwarna merah. Kemudian Shankly berkata pada Ronnie Yeats untuk mencoba memakai celana pendek itu dengan T-shirt Liverpool FC.
Ketika Ronnie memakainya muncullah penampilan terbaik Ronnie. Shankly berkata bahwa tinggi Ronnie seolah – olah bertambah. Ronnie menyarankan celana pendek merah itu untuk satu tim seutuhnya. Ian kemudian juga menyarankan agar kaus kakinya juga berwarna merah. Saran Ronnie dan Ian didengar dan disetujui oleh Shankly.
Saat pertama kali Liverpool FC memakai seragam berwarna merah, Bill Shankly sangat terpesona pada anak –anak asuhnya. Shankly pernah berkata, bahwa pertandingan melawan Anderlecht patut dikenang. Para pemain terlihat seperti raksasa dan mereka bermain sangat percaya diri. Sejak saat itu warna merah bagi Liverpool FC dan penggemarnya menjadi simbol semangat dan merupakan bagian dari tradisi, yang tergabung dalam jiwa Kop – sebutan bagi penggemar Liverpool FC dan Anfield.
Shankly benar – benar mentransformasi keberadaan Liverpool FC menjadi lebih cemerlang. Seragam merah memberikan efek luar biasa bagi penontonnya. Sepulang dari pertandingan melawan Anderlecht, Shankly mengatakan bahwa baru pertama kali ia menyaksikan pertandingan dengan banyak pendar cahaya di lapangan.
Seragam merah total dipakai selama bertanding di kandang. Warna merah tidaklah mendominasi ketika Liverpool FC melakukan tanding tandang. Berbagai warna silih berganti menjadi kit Liverpool FC. Tanding tandang yang dilakukan Liverpool FC berhias berbagai warna seperti kuning, putih, abu – abu, biru laut, emas atau hitam.
Seragam tanding tandang Liverpool FC yang terekam di kepala orang adalah T-shirt warna kuning atau putih dengan celana pendek berwarna hitam. Padahal seragam yang dipakai tak melulu tampil dengan warna – warna itu selama tanding tandang. Di tahun 1987 seragam berwarna abu – abu diperkenalkan sebagai warna mereka ketika melakukan tanding tandang. Sejak tahun itu Liverpool FC dikenal dengan keberadaannya melalui warna itu. Keberadaan warna seragam abu – abu ini terus dipakai sampai tahun 1991-1992.
Setelah tahun 1992, warna Liverpool FC kembali berubah. Mereka dikenal kala bertanding tandang dengan warna hijau pada T-shirt dan celana pendek berwarna putih. Terkadang tim tuan rumah yang memiliki ciri warna yang sama dengan Liverpool FC, membuat mereka harus menanggalkan warna merah kebanggaannya.
Pada tahun 1990-an, selain warna hijau, Liverpool FC tampil dengan berbagai warna seragam untuk pertandingan tandang. Liverpool FC mengadaptasi berbagai warna, bahkan cenderung terlalu banyak warna, seperti warna emas-biru donker, kuning atau hitam abu – abu. Namun warna yang kerap Liverpool FC pakai adalah kuning – putih. Warna itu dipakai Liverpool FC hingga musim tahun 2008-2009.

Rebutan Brand Dunia
Seragam yang dipakai The Reds bukanlah seragam sembarangan. Dalam artian seragamnya tidak dapat dibuat pabrikan atau orang – orang biasa. Pada musim tahun 2012 – 2013, seragam Liverpool FC yang dipakai untuk bertanding didesain dan dipersiapkan oleh perusahaan olah raga, Warrior Sports.
Seragam Liverpool FC sudah mengalami berbagai pergantian desain, disebabkan banyak produsen alat – alat olahraga yang berlomba – lomba meng-endorse klub sepak bola ini. Seperti produsen bernama Umbro yang menyediakan T-shirt bagi Liverpool FC hingga tahun 1985. Umbro menjadi satu – satunya produsen yang menyediakan T-shirt bagi Liverpool FC, sedangkan yang lain berupa kit.
Setelah tahun 1985, produsen alat – alat olahraga asal Jerman, Adidas kemudian menyediakan berbagai kit bagi klub sepak bola ini. Keberadaan Liverpool FC pada sepanjang tahun 1980-an dan 1990-an sangat membantu image yang ada pada produk – produk Adidas. Namun kerja sama dengan Adidas berakhir pada tahun 1996, dan digantikan Reebok yang menyediakan seluruh kit bagi Liverpool FC. Selama satu dasawarsa Reebok menyediakan semua apparel Liverpool FC, kemudian beralih kembali ke tangan Adidas dari tahun 2006 hingga 2012. Sejak musim 2012 – 2013, Warrior Sports menggantikan keberadaan Adidas.
Keberadaan dan nama besar Liverpool FC tak hanya menarik produsen alat – alat olahraga. Berbagai produsen lain juga menjadikan Liverpool FC sebagai bagian dari pencitraan produk – produk mereka. Di samping tentunya daya tarik Liverpool FC dan pemain – pemainnya menjadi ‘mantra sihir’ ampuh untuk menarik konsumen melirik produk – produk mereka.
Liverpool FCmenjadi klub sepak bola profesional pertama di Inggris yang mencantumkan logo sponsor pada T-shirtnya. Produsen yang pertama kali mencantumkan logonya adalah produk elektronik asal Jepang, Hitachi, pada tahun 1979. Sejak itu, berbondong – bondong produsen lain berusaha menjadikan Liverpool FC bagian dari brand images. Setelah Hitachi menjadi sponsor lantas hadir Crown Paint, Carlsberg dan Standard Chartered Bank.
Dalam urusan sponsor ini, Liverpool FC membuat sejarah dalam sepak bola Inggris. Kerja sama sponsor dengan Carlsberg di tahun 1992 adalah kerja sama sponsor terpanjang dalam sejarah sepak bola di Inggris. Kerja sama sponsor dengan Carlsberg baru berakhir pada musim tahun 2010 – 2011. Setelah itu T-shirt Liverpool FC berhiaskan logo dari Standard Chartered Bank. Saat ini Liverpool FC merupakan salah satu klub sepak bola terkaya di Eropa.
Keberadaan sponsor yang terpajang di bagian depan T-shirt para pemainnya, tak hanya membantu sisi finansial klub, namun menunjukkan masa – masa yang ada dalam sejarah Liverpool FC. Misalnya ketika pertama kali Hitachi memasang brand-nya, menunjukkan masa keemasan klub sepak bola ini. Ketika Crown Paints menjadi sponsor Liverpool FC, penggemarnya akan mengenang masa enam tahun kehadiran Kenny Dalglish, manajer sekaligus pemain dalam klub sepak bola ini. Dia adalah satu – satunya orang yang memiliki dua bidang tugas yang tak dapat ditemukan dalam klub sepak bola manapun.
Sedangkan masa empat tahun Candy menjadi sponsor, menjadi masa yang dikenang Liverpool FC karena meraih predikat juara Liga Premier yang ke 18 kali sekaligus terakhir kali di tahun 1990. Sedangkan periode Carlsberg ada pada masa – masa bidang manajerial dikelola oleh Roy Evans dan Gerrard Houllier, serta awal dari Rafalution (Rafael Benitez) dan malam dahsyat di Istanbul yang memberikan kemenangan bagi Liverpool FC untuk kelima kalinya dalam Piala Eropa 2005. Liverpool FC kemudian mendapatkan badge dari UEFA atas pencapaian itu – hanya diberikan oleh UEFA pada tim sepak bola yang menjuarai piala selama lima kali atau tiga kali berturut – turut. Kemudian dengan Standard Chartered di tahun 2010 – tahun terakhir kerja sama selama 18 tahun, adalah masa – masa Liverpool FC sangat dahaga mendapatkan prestasi.

Burung Liver
Badge atau lambang yang dipakai Liverpool FC mengambil gambar burung liver yang ada di kota Liverpool FC. Gambar burung liver yang ada pada badge Liverpool FC dahulu diletakkan di dalam perisai. Sebelum tahun 1992, burung liver itu posisinya berada di depan perisai merah. Sedangkan pada tahun 1992, badge yang dikenakan oleh klub sepak bola ini mengalami perubahan. Badge tersebut mendapatkan penambahan citra dari Gerbang Shankly.
Setahun kemudian, sepasang api ditambahkan pada badge itu. Sepasang api itu meripakan simbol dari tragedi Hillsborough yang menewaskan 96 orang. Sepasang api yang ada pada badge memiliki kesamaan dengan monumen api yang ada di depan stadion Anfield. Di tahun 2012, Warrior Sports yang mendapatkan kontrak penyediaan segala kebutuhan bagi Liverpool FC membuat badge yang berbeda. Badge yang dibuat oleh Warrior Sports ini sangat berbeda dan memiliki beragam modifikasi.

Warrior Sports memodifikasi badge Liverpool FC dengan mengangkat perisai dari Shankly’s Gate. Badge baru buatan Warrior Sports ini sebenarnya bukanlah badge anyar, tapi badge yang pernah dipakai dahulu dari tahun awal berdirinya klub hingga tahun 1980-an akhir. Sedangkan api pada badge kemudian dipindahkan ke kerah T-shirt di bagian belakang. Api tersebut dibuat mengelilingi angka 96 yang menyimbolkan korban tewas di Hillsborough. Keberadaan burung liver yang ada di dada kiri seragam pemain Liverpool FC itu, baru dijadikan bagian dari seragam sejak tahun 1955. Sejak saat itu keberadaan burung liver tak pernah terpisahkan dan selalu ada di setiap pertandingan Liverpool FC.

LIVERPOOL VS MANCHESTER UNITED
(DERBY NORTH WEST ENGLAND)





The Liverpool F.C.–Manchester United F.C. rivalry is a footballing rivalry between English clubs Liverpool and Manchester United. It is considered to be one of the biggest rivalry matches in Europe.
The clubs are also the two most successful teams in England; between them they have won 121 honours: 59 for Liverpool and 62 for Manchester United. As well as competing on the football pitch, both teams are also two of the biggest-earning, and widely-supported, football clubs in the world.
Long-serving Manchester United player Ryan Giggs claimed that Liverpool against Manchester United is "probably the most famous fixture in English football". The fixture is usually played at lunchtime due to media interest and to discourage fans from drinking before the game.

Inter-city rivalry
The rivalry can be considered as a manifestation of one which already had existed between the two cities since industrial times. During this time both were competing with each other for supremacy of the North West, with Manchester famous for its manufacturing prowess while Liverpool was famous for the importance of its port.
Once the Manchester Ship Canal was built, ships could bypass Liverpool and transport goods directly into Manchester. The Ship Canal was an audacious project and upon completion in 1894 it was the longest ship canal in the world. The Ship Canal meant less dues for Liverpool merchants, which consequently resulted in job losses at the port and resentment from the local people of Liverpool. Historians generally regard this as the key incident as to why such inter-city rivalry exists. Furthermore, the crest of Manchester United includes a ship representing the Manchester Ship Canal and reflects Manchester's trade roots. The ship is also included on the crest of many other Mancunian institutions such as Manchester City Council and rivals Manchester City F.C.
During the late 1970s and 1980s, the two cities had been in decline due to the downturn of industries as were many cities in the predominantly industrial North. However, both cities have again grown and found success, with both Liverpool and Manchester now recognised as world-class cities. Recently, Manchester hosted the 2002 Commonwealth Games, while Liverpool was awarded the title of 2008 European Capital of Culture.

Football rivalry
Both clubs claim the title of  ‘the greatest English football club', having won over 50 major trophies each. Liverpool dominated English football from 1975 to 1990, winning 11 league championships and four European Cups. Likewise, Manchester United have dominated English football since 1993, winning 13 league championships and two European Cups. During their respective periods of dominance, both teams enjoyed several seasons in which they won multiple trophies in both domestic and European competitions.
The two clubs are thus the most successful English sides in European and domestic competitions, with Liverpool having been European champions five times (11 European trophies overall) while Manchester United have been European champions three times (five European trophies overall); Manchester United have also won the Intercontinental Cup/FIFA World Club Cup twice. Manchester United have won 20 English league titles, while Liverpool have won 18. Manchester United currently have 35 domestic honours, while Liverpool have 33.

Players' rivalry
The rivalry has extended to the players as well: United striker Wayne Rooney, a product of Liverpool's city rivals Everton, described how he grew up hating the Reds, while Liverpool's Steven Gerrard took a film crew on tour of his home where he showed off a collection of football shirts he had swapped with opposing players as part of the after match routine; he pointed out that there were no Manchester United shirts in there and that he would never have one of them in his house. Manchester United's Gary Neville has been publicly vocal in the past with regards to his dislike of Liverpool; following a fixture in which John O'Shea scored a stoppage-time winner in front of the Kop in 2007, Neville described O'Shea's achievement as "a lifelong dream" for himself. Neville was berated by Liverpool fans for his role in celebrating in front of them in 2006, kissing the crest on his jersey and appearing to shout angrily towards the fans.
In the 2011–12 season, the rivalry was exacerbated by claims that, in the first League meeting of the season at Anfield, Liverpool striker Luis Suárez racially abused United's Patrice Evra. After considering the evidence, an FA panel found that Suarez had referred to Evra using the term "negro" seven times (Suarez himself admitted to having done so once, but denied racism) and Suarez was banned for eight games. This included the FA Cup fourth round tie between the two clubs (again at Anfield), which Liverpool won. However, on 11 February 2012, United and Liverpool met again at Old Trafford, and Suarez started a match for the first time since he began his ban. Prior to kick-off, the two teams were expected to shake hands, but Suarez ignored Evra's offered hand and moved onto the next United player in line (David de Gea). As a result, Rio Ferdinand and Danny Welbeck rejected Suarez' handshake. United went on to win 2–1 and Evra celebrated in front of the home supporters, with Suarez close by. Sir Alex Ferguson declared Suarez to be a "disgrace" and suggested that he should not be allowed to play for Liverpool again. Kenny Dalglish vehemently denied having seen the missed handshake. The following day, Suarez, Dalglish and Liverpool FC all issued statements of apology for the handshake incident, which United accepted. The FA decided against any further action against either club or the players involved.

Player transfers
Since the 1964 transfer of Phil Chisnall from United to Liverpool, no player has been transferred directly between the two clubs. Some players, however, have played for both clubs, but having played elsewhere between each tenure, such as Paul Ince (playing for Internazionale in between) and Peter Beardsley (Vancouver Whitecaps and Newcastle United) and more recently Michael Owen (Real Madrid and Newcastle United), although Beardsley only played once for United, but went on to be a key player during his four years at Liverpool.
In 2007, there was a bid from Liverpool to sign Gabriel Heinze from United, but United refused to allow him to join their biggest rivals due to the ongoing feud. United claimed that it was agreed Heinze would only join a foreign club if he chose to leave. Heinze went public with his request to join Liverpool which was seen as the ultimate betrayal by the Manchester United fans. The Manchester United fans who once chanted "Argentina" in honour of the player now turned their backs on him. Heinze was eventually sold to Real Madrid instead.
