After Liverpool took the lead, Manchester United launched a ferocious attack, and Cristiano Ronaldo's attack was even more crazy. However, he still did not change the score and did not score a goal. In the end, they lost to Liverpool.
Liverpool defeated the last FA Cup champion Manchester United in the last warm-up match before the season and won the English Community Shield. This is a good start for the upcoming league. The most interesting thing about this game
The valuable player was given to Qiu Ze. In this game, he sent one assist, one goal, and one indirect assist. His performance was very eye-catching and he was in good condition.
After this game, the 2008-2009 English Premier League season is about to begin. The Premier League is the earliest among the five major European leagues to start. At this time, teams in other leagues are still playing warm-up matches.
Liverpool's investment this summer is very huge. They spent nearly 70 million pounds in transfer fees in the transfer market. This is definitely very impressive in the entire Premier League. He is definitely ranked in the top three.
Yes, the cost is huge.
In the Premier League, only Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City can compete with Liverpool. The other traditional top four teams in the Premier League did not make many signings this summer and did not spend a lot of money.
Moreover, Liverpool also spent a lot of money on player salary increases and contract renewals. In this regard, they also spent a lot of money. Liverpool's results last season were very good. Under such circumstances, Liverpool is still recruiting aggressively.
Strengthening, his thoughts are known to everyone on the road.
Compared with Liverpool's sensational moves, the moves of Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea can be said to be nothing. Liverpool was already strong enough last season, but at this time they did not sign any signings. They just watched Liverpool's big moves.
Could it be that the top three have given up competing for the championship in the new season and let Liverpool play a one-man show?
Not only the media in England have such questions, but also other media in Europe. They really don't know what Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea think.
Among them, Chelsea is slightly better. They still made some moves this summer. For example, they introduced Luiz Felipe Scolari, a European Cup-winning coach, and also brought in European Cup-winning midfielder Deco.
There are some other reinforcements. According to Chelsea's results last season and the strength of the team, they are still somewhat competitive this season.
Manchester United does not have many signings, only one person, but this person spent more than 30 million pounds, which is a lot of investment. But this is really too little for the wealthy Manchester United team, and everyone knows
What Manchester United continues to solve now is the midfield problem. If you don't get a creative midfielder, what's the point of adding a forward?
Goal, you leave it to Cristiano to score goals? Isn’t that the end of Ronaldo? This guy scored forty goals in all competitions last season, which is awesome.
Therefore, the English media and the European media are not optimistic about Manchester United's signings. Last season, Manchester United was unable to compete with Liverpool. This season, it is even more impossible for Manchester United to compete with Liverpool. At this time, Manchester United
Already separated from the championship group.
Let’s not talk about Arsenal. The signings are the same as no signings. Arsenal don’t want to win the championship this season. It is your task to accompany the prince to study.
Apart from these three teams, there are two teams that surprise people, namely Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City. These two teams have made very big moves this summer, especially Tottenham Hotspur.
The assassin team, their actions shocked everyone.
Of course, although everyone is shocked, they don't think much of Tottenham Hotspur. After all, their surgery was too big, and the entire technical team collapsed. If they start from scratch, it's hard to say what they can do.
However, they should be a strong contender for Champions League qualification.
There is also Manchester City. Since the Arab consortium took over, Manchester City has become a nouveau riche. Just like when Abramovich took over Chelsea, they started their gold dollar with banknotes.
Offensively, they are also strong contenders for qualifying for the Champions League.
In pre-season predictions, Arsenal was the team most likely to be eliminated among the top four, which made Arsenal fans worried about the team's prospects.
Arsenal fans are very dissatisfied with Arsenal's signings for the new season, which seems too petty.
In the first month of the season, Liverpool had a total of three opponents. None of these three opponents were particularly strong. This month's schedule started very easily. First of all, in the first round of this season, Liverpool
The team's opponent is Sunderland, and they are away.
Then the opponent in the second round is Middlesbrough. This team is not too strong. It is the kind of team that has no worries about relegation and no hope of European competition. It is easier to beat. The opponent in the third round is Aston Villa.
La, this team is a bit strange. When it is strong, it is very strong and no one is afraid of it. But when it is weak, anyone can lose. It is hard to say this opponent.
After the first game after August, Liverpool's difficulties began. In the first league game in September, Liverpool's opponent was the Red Devils Manchester United.
The new Premier League season kicked off on August 15, 2008. In the opening game of this Premier League season, Arsenal, the third-placed team in the Premier League last season, challenged West Bromwich Albion, who had been promoted from the English Championship.
In this game, Arsenal's performance was very unsatisfactory. They played very awkwardly. The shortcomings of not recruiting any good players this summer were exposed, which made Arsenal fans very disappointed.
It was the newly promoted West Bromwich Albion who performed very well. They performed more like a traditional Premier League team and played very well. They even almost broke through Arsenal on multiple occasions.
In goal, their luck was a little bit worse.
The home team Arsenal was very lucky. In the third to last minute of the game, Arsenal defeated this season's newly promoted West Bromwich Albion with a lucky goal. Arsenal's win was really
It's thrilling, but it's okay, Arsenal finally won, right?
There is also a game played on this day between Middlesbrough and Tottenham Hotspur. This game is also very interesting to watch. This is entirely because Tottenham Hotspur is in the transfer process this summer.
What a big move in the market.
Many people now have great expectations for this Tottenham Hotspur team, but the performance of the Tottenham Hotspur team cannot live up to everyone's expectations.
Tottenham Hotspur played very chaotically in this game. At the end of the first half, they were two goals behind Middlesbrough. This is really shocking. Tottenham spent so much this summer.
It's really shocking that Naham Hotspur behave like this.
Fortunately, in the second half of the game, Tottenham Hotspur improved and showed some hope. Modric performed well in this game and scored a goal, but it did not help Tottenham Hotspur win.
In the end, they lost to Middlesbrough 1-2 away from home.
Middlesbrough is Liverpool's opponent in the second round. In this game, they performed very well. This has to make Liverpool face up to this opponent. When the time comes, they must not underestimate their opponent, otherwise they will follow the example of Tottenham.
Spurs have followed suit.
The next day, all the Premier League teams showed up, including Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United.
Chelsea got off to a good start under the leadership of new coach Felipe Scolari. Chelsea defeated Portsmouth 4-0 in the first round and climbed to the top of the league. This made Chelsea fans very excited. It can be seen that,
Scolari leads Chelsea quite well.
Manchester United performed very poorly in the first round. They seemed to be affected by their loss to Liverpool in the Community Shield. In the first round of the league, they failed to win against Newcastle United at home.
At the last minute, Berbatov's lucky goal was enough to draw Newcastle 1-1 and get a point.
And this summer's Manchester City team, which spent a lot of money, did not perform well in the first round. They lost to Aston Villa 2-4 in the away game, which was also surprising. The combat power shown by Aston Villa
It’s really amazing. This is Liverpool’s opponent in the third round. Liverpool should really be careful.
Judging from the first round of the league, Liverpool's August match was not as easy as they imagined. Neither Middlesbrough nor Aston Villa were as easy to beat as they imagined.
At this time, Liverpool is playing the first round of the Premier League. Liverpool is playing against Sunderland away from home. The current head coach of Sunderland is Roy Keane. Because of his relationship with Manchester United, Sunderland
There are many players from Manchester United's second team and reserve team in the team.
After Roy Keane took charge of Sunderland, he introduced several very good players from Manchester United's reserve team from Manchester United, and then loaned some players from Manchester United's youth team. Therefore, in England, Sunderland now has
A nickname, that is the second team of Manchester United.
The players in Manchester United's reserve team are still very good, so Sunderland is not as easy to play as Liverpool people imagined. And the progress of the game also shows this, Sunderland still created a lot of trouble for Liverpool.
Trouble, even Liverpool almost didn't win.
It wasn't until the 76th minute of the game that Liverpool had Fernando Torres break the deadlock on the court. It was Qiu Ze who assisted him. Liverpool relied on this goal to achieve the final victory and win a difficult victory.
Three points.
Although it is difficult to win this game, getting three points is more important than anything else. Liverpool has made a good start, right? While getting the three points, Liverpool did not relax their vigilance, because the scores in August were not
It's not as easy as they imagined.
Sunderland almost suffered a loss in the first round alone, let alone Middlesbrough and Aston Villa, who had very good performances in the first round. Therefore, Liverpool must do their best to win.
