For Alex Ferguson there is no game bigger than Liverpool v Manchester United
The Manchester derby is just over a week away but it will have to wait a little longer before it supplants this afternoon's encounter at Anfield.
To Sir Alex Ferguson, there is no game bigger than Liverpool v Manchester United, not even the nights when Real Madrid face Barcelona.
"You know the difference," said Ferguson. "Barcelona is at one end of the country and Madrid is at the other. Fans don't travel. Please. It is hard to rival this. The only game that can rival Manchester United-Liverpool is Rangers-Celtic. In fact, it doesn't rival it, it beats it. The Rangers-Celtic game is different. sumber
Ryo Miyaichi
Age: 18
Nationality: Japanese
Current Club: Arsenal
This boy has to be seen to be believed. He is one of those players that, no matter what club you support, you can't help but get excited about watching.
He was signed by Arsenal in January of 2011 and immediately loaned to Feyenoord, where he set about tearing up the Erdivisie with some scintillating display.
He's been nicknamed the Japanese Messi, Japanese Ronaldo and Ryodinho due to comparisons with Brazilian legend Ronaldinho. Personally, I think his game is most similar to Ronaldo, the Portuguese one that is, rather than Messi or Ronaldinho.
He's blessed with fantastic pace and the ability to make defenders wish the ground would open up and swallow them. He also knows how to score goals.
It's unlikely that Arsenal would initially be willing to sell, but they seem to have plans to utilize Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as their wingers in the coming years, which would block Miyaichi's path to the team. And with Arsene Wenger being Arsene Wenger, he might be swayed by a substantial bid.
The thoughts of Miyaichi on one wing and Raheem Sterling on the other makes one smile.
One final thing: keep an eye on the Japanese national team over the coming years. With players like Miyaichi, Usami, Honda and Kagawa, they could become a real force to be reckoned with. sumber
Nationality: Japanese
Current Club: Bayern Munich (on loan from Gamba Osaka)
When Bayern Munich nabbed this boy on loan, they got themselves a real gem. Usami is a player of huge potential who you are going to be hearing a lot of over the next few years.
It's really hard to determine what his best position is. He's at home on either wing or upfront, and quite simply, he looks a potential superstar in any role.
Blessed with great pace and some of the best dribbling skills you'll find, Usami is also an accomplished finisher who's very comfortable in front of goal.
Bayern have first option on him to make the loan deal a permanent arrangement in the summer of 2012, and I can't see any reason they wouldn't make it so.
However, if they have themselves a brain-fart and don't push it through, then Damien Comolli should be on top of things and lock this deal.
Age: 25
Nationality: Japanese
Current Club: CSKA Moscow
Let me first say that I believe Honda is one of the most overrated players in world football. I'm not saying he's not wonderfully talented, I'm simply saying that he's never produced the goods on a consistent basis at the highest level, and is undeserving of so much praise.
With that being said, he would represent a good signing for Liverpool for a couple of reasons.
First and foremost, he is hugely gifted and capable of brilliance when the mood strikes. He has the passing, dribbling and shooting ability to be one of the world's great players.
Secondly, he would be reasonably priced for a player of his talent and potential.
Finally, he's HUGE in Japan and would probably repay his transfer fee in record time via jersey sales alone.
Oh, and as an added bonus, he's arguably the best free-kick taker in the world.
He's been linked with Liverpool on a number occasions the past few years, and Kenny Dalglish might just be the man to finally unlock his seemingly endless potential. sumber
Shinji Kagawa
Nationality: Japanese
Current Club: Borussia Dortmund
Is there a faster rising star in world football right now than Dortmund's Japanese magician?
For those of you who've spent the last 14 months living under a rock, in a coma or on some sort of expedition to North Korea where the celebrations stemming from their triumphant World Cup campaig—during which they defeated Brazil—are still in full swing, let me introduce Shinji Kagawa.
Signed by Dortmund in the summer of 2010 from Cerezo Osaka, Kagawa was expected to be mainly a role player who, in time, could possibly develop into a starter for the German giants.
It would appear that when Bayern manager Jurgen Klopp was explaining this grand plan to Kagawa that something got lost in translation, because there was none of that role player nonsense to be had for him. He immediately established himself as a key player for Borussia and would go on to win the Bundesliga at a canter.
Kagawa missed a number of months in the second half of the season due to injury, but his performances beforehand were simply fantastic. Over the course of the season, he scored 12 goals in 28 games. Not a bad return for an attacking midfielder in his first season in the Bundesliga.
Kagawa has everything you want from an attacking midfielder/second striker/winger hybrid type player. He's quick, skillful, a great finisher, an excellent passer and a team player. The only thing that will stop Kagawa becoming a world-class player is injury; it's as simple as that.
Liverpool have been credited with interest as recently as last week, and while he has unsurprisingly also attracted the interest of other top clubs, I would be confident that Liverpool could land him should they wish to.
His price will likely be in the region of £16-20million, and while I initially felt that was too much for him at this point in his career, when you take into account his potential and his popularity in Asia, it might end up being a steal. sumber
Son Heung-Min
Age: 19
Nationality: South Korean
Current Club: Hamburger SV
Reputed to be the best striker South Korea have produced since the great Cha Beum-Kun, Son Heung-Min was born to score goals. And boy can he score from just about anywhere.
Tap ins, screamers from 30 yards, headers, you name it, this boy can do it. What's more is that he loves doing it. His attitude reminds me of that of Liverpool's own Luis Suarez. A player who loves to play football, but lives to score goals.
He is still building up his fanbase in his homeland having left at a young age to join the youth set up at his current club, but he's building it pretty quickly and has already shown his quality in both the Bundesliga and international stage.
In my opinion, Son would make a good signing as a backup striker who could potentially grow into a starting role in the next few years. He has limitless ability and has already been nicknamed "The Korean Muller" by the adoring Hamburg faithful. sumber
Ki Sung-Yueng
Age: 22Nationality: South Korean
Current Club: Glasgow Celtic
Ki Sung-Yeung is known as the Korean Gerrard, and while there are similarities in their games, when I watch him play I just feel like I'm watching a young Xabi Alonso with a bit more pace.
Ki may have the best passing skills in Britain right now, and I don't write that in any sort of attempt to overstate his ability. His ability to pass to ball is simply breathtaking at times. There's not a pass on the pitch he can't make; with either foot.
Ki is equally comfortable knocking a simple five-yard pass to a teammate as he is pinging a 60-yard pass from deep inside his own half to a teammate bursting toward the opposition goal.
He's also more than capable of the type of defence-splitting pass Liverpool have been missing this season. The great thing about Ki is that he knows when to make each type of pass and rarely tries to force things.
As I mentioned, he's two-footed, although his right is the stronger of the two. He's also quick, a hard worker and skillful with the ballt. What strikes me most about him is his composure. That's where I see the comparison to Xabi most—aside from the 60-yard passes of course.
Ki never seems flustered, rarely makes a rushed pass, and finds that extra yard of space that is always the sign of an intelligent player.
He is very popular in Korea and has also won over the Celtic fans since moving to the Glasgow giants.
Liverpool were linked with Ki when Charlie Adam's deal seemed to be floundering, and personally, I hoped we would sign Ki rather than Adam. Truth be told, nothing I've seen this season has changed my mind.
I believe he would be a fantastic signing for Liverpool and has the potential to grow into a world-class player. sumber
Koo Ja-Cheol
Age: 22
Nationality: South Korean
Current Club: VfL Wolfsburg
Koo Ja-Cheol is an exciting attack-minded midfielder with a penchant for scoring spectacular goals and leading defenders a merry dance with his ability on the ball. He may not be a name many people are familiar with right now, but that will change over the next few years.
Having made his name for Jeju United and the Korean national team, Koo was the subject of much interest from European clubs this past January. Liverpool were among those linked with a move for the South Korean star, but ultimately never made a bid for Koo.
Known as "The Prince" in his homeland, he is quickly becoming the most popular player in Korea. His marketability is huge and he would repay his transfer fee in double quick time in merchandising sales alone.
He's not just a player that's worth signing for his off-field appeal though—this boy can play. He's got great passing skills, excellent vision, quick feet and is a very good dribbler.
His versatility is a big factor and he's capable of playing anywhere in midfield, or in the hole. That's the type of player Liverpool needs, and for me, Koo Ja-Cheol would be a very good signing for Liverpool at the right price. sumber

Reina admits he was tempted to leave Merseyside after returning from Spain's victorious World Cup campaign last year to find the Reds in a downward spiral.
Manager Rafa Benitez had been sacked, while director Christian Purslow was desperately seeking new owners to replace Tom Hicks and George Gillett as the club struggled under a financial crisis.
Blocked
The Spaniard's head was turned by the Gunners but says Liverpool rejected their £20m bid and stopped him from making a switch to North London because they feared his exit would dissuade potential buyers.
"I went from elation one minute to depression the next as the realisation dawned that Liverpool were going nowhere fast," said Reina in his new autobiography.
"Arsenal had made their determination to sign me clear by offering £20m, a phenomenal amount for a goalkeeper. Part of me felt that I was well within my rights to consider my future even if I did so with a heavy heart."

Quotes of the week
"When I signed my contract in April 2010 I hoped that better times were just around the corner, a feeling that was fuelled by the promises of improvement from people at the club.
"It didn't take me long to feel that their promises were hollow. I felt betrayed. Our owners were at war with each other, the club's debts were spiralling out of control and a change in manager had failed to dispel the feeling that we were on the road to nowhere.
"Arsenal had made their determination to sign me clear by offering £20m, a phenomenal amount for a goalkeeper. Part of me felt that I was well within my rights to consider my future even if I did so with a heavy heart.
"When Liverpool received the bid, they rejected it. This was not because I had been told that I was too good a keeper to leave. The reason I was given was quite different - and it left me feeling down. I was told that my continued presence was crucial to the sale of the club. I was simply a bargaining chip in the sales process.
"I still don't know what to think of Purslow because I understand he was there to look for new owners and to try to sell the club but ultimately he was making big football decisions that he was not qualified to make."
Reina made no secret of the fact he wanted Hicks and Gillett out ahead of Fenway Sports Group's takeover of the club last October.
The 29-year-old admits he would have liked fans favourites Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher to have joined him in getting behind the supporters' protests to oust the American owners.
Objector
"I was probably one of the loudest objectors because I believed it was important the supporters knew I was with them," he said.
"All I wanted the owners to do was sell up to people who could take the club forward, so I said so.
"The way I saw it, Stevie and Carra are the two principle members of our squad, the ones who the people love and if they had said something maybe it would have put Hicks and Gillett under real pressure."
"But in their view, it was more important to try to keep things as normal as possible."
