14. The competition for the best in the Champions League
In the first round, although Liverpool won a thrilling victory, they still got three points. Therefore, this start is still considered good, at least much better than Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur. However,
Media reporters don’t think so.
The reason is because Liverpool was the Premier League champion and the Champions League champion last season, and this start was simply too bad for Liverpool. At the same time, these reporters believed that Liverpool was too turbulent this summer and almost replaced the entire defense.
, Liverpool's performance will definitely be affected, which may prevent Liverpool from rebuilding the glory of last season, or even collapse.
There are many media reporters who make such remarks. Yes, in this game, Liverpool's defense did have some problems. Ferdinand obviously did not reach the level of European champion. He made several key mistakes in this game.
, almost causing a catastrophe.
Moreover, Liverpool's entire defense now has a big problem with coordination. If Liverpool really wants to make a difference this season, this problem must be solved.
In fact, this question should not have arisen. Who would have thought that Daniel Agger would suddenly be injured?
Of course, Benitez also discovered problems in the first round, so during this period of time, Benitez has been focusing on training in this area. And he has achieved very good results.
In the second round of the league this season, Liverpool played against Middlesbrough at home. Middlesbrough performed well in the first round. They defeated Tottenham Hotspur, who spent a lot of money this summer. In this game, Liverpool
We take it very seriously, this game cannot be lost.
After the game started, Liverpool's offense played very well and performed very well. Arshavin seemed to be able to integrate into Liverpool's offensive system without spending much time. As soon as he came, he rubbed out with Qiu Ze and Fernando Torres.
Sparks, the offense is perfect.
In the 29th minute of the first half, Arshavin assisted Fernando Torres to take the lead. This was also a very beautiful cooperation between Liverpool's front three, which made the Liverpool fans at the scene excited.
In the fifth minute of the second half, Liverpool scored again. This time it was Qiu Ze's plan, Arshavin assisted, and Fernando Torres scored. This goal was played very smoothly and the effect was very ideal.
In just two rounds of the league, Fernando Torres has scored three goals. This is a very hot state. Of course, Qiu Ze and Arshavin are also in very good form, and Liverpool fans are very happy.
However, in the 31st minute of the second half, Liverpool's defense made a mistake and Middlesbrough took the opportunity to score a goal, making the score 1-2. Although this did not change the final result of the game,
This made the happy Liverpool fans very unhappy.
Liverpool's defense problem has still not been solved, which makes Liverpool fans worried. In the third round of the league, Liverpool faced Aston Villa away from home. In this game, Liverpool's defense performed well, but the offense failed.
There seems to be a problem. In this game, Liverpool did not score a goal or conceded a goal. They drew with their opponent 0-0.
At the end of the three rounds of the Premier League, Chelsea, who have changed coaches in the new season, are temporarily ranked first in the league. Their results are three games, two wins and one draw, with seven points, while Manchester United and Liverpool both have two wins, one draw and seven points. However, Manchester United
The goal difference with Liverpool is less than Chelsea, and the two teams are split into second and third place.
At the end of the first three rounds of the Premier League, no team has won three consecutive games. This is indeed very rare. Maybe this season's Premier League will see a situation where the heroes are competing for hegemony.
Ranking four to seven are Manchester City, Arsenal, West Ham United and Middlesbrough. Their current results are three games, two wins and one loss, with six points, which is one point behind the top three.
Damn, they really have a chance to start that group of heroes competing for hegemony.
The only one who is surprising now is Tottenham Hotspur. They spent countless money this summer, but their results are very poor. They only got one draw in the first three rounds.
After getting one point, they are now ranked second to last in the Premier League. This result simply blinded everyone's eyes.
At this time, many media are claiming that Tottenham's gold-dollar offensive has declared bankruptcy. With such huge expenditures this summer, Tottenham's goal is to avoid relegation. Tottenham's goal is to avoid relegation.
Too high-end.
The first three rounds of the Premier League are over, and now everyone's attention has shifted to the draw ceremony for the UEFA Champions League group stage.
Yes, at this time, the draw ceremony of the new season's UEFA Champions League is about to be held. Therefore, after this round of competition, the head coaches of each team participating in the top 32 matches of this season's UEFA Champions League went to Monterey.
Carlo.
After the top 32 teams in the Champions League were produced this season, UEFA divided these teams into four levels.
Pot 1: Liverpool (England), Manchester United (England), Chelsea (England), Barcelona (Spain), Arsenal (England), Lyon (France), Inter Milan (Italy), Real Madrid (Spain).
Pot 2: Bayern Munich (Germany), PSV (Netherlands), Villarreal (Spain), Roma (Italy), Porto (Portugal), Werder Bremen (Germany), Lisbon Economy (Portugal)
, Juventus (Italy).
Pot 3: Marseille (France), Zenit St. Petersburg (Russia), Steaua Bucharest (Romania), Panathinaikos (Greece), Bordeaux (France), Celtic (Scotland), Basel (France)
, Fenerbahce (Turkey).
Pot 4: Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine), Fiorentina (Italy), Atletico Madrid (Spain), Dynamo Kyiv (Ukraine), Cluj (Romania), Aalborg (Denmark), Anorthosis
(Cyprus), Trisol (Belarus).
Last year, the top four teams in the Premier League performed very well. All four teams entered the final eight, and three more teams entered the final four. If the Premier League teams had not collided prematurely, there would be no Premier League.
They can also enter the semi-finals together. So, all four of their teams have entered the first tier, which is really an amazing result.
And this season we didn't even see the Rossoneri in the UEFA Champions League, which is really surprising.
The Champions League draw ceremony was held at the Monte Carlo Grimaldi Forum in Monaco. The host of this draw ceremony was Pinto, the same as the previous European group draw.
This time, Qiu Ze, Fernando Torres and others did not stay in Liverpool. Instead, they went to Monte Carlo with the team's head coach Benitez to participate in the Champions League group draw ceremony, because they
All are in the running for the best awards.
The players who went with Liverpool this time were goalkeeper Reina, defender Carragher, midfielder Qiu Ze, and forward Fernando Torres. These four entered the top three for the best players in a single position. Among them, Qiu Ze also entered the Champions League top three.
Top three best players.
Therefore, of course they will not miss this lottery ceremony, and their chances of winning are very high, because they are the champions of the last Champions League. According to past practice, there are many best champion teams.
There is even a record of one team taking it all.
Now these media believe that Liverpool has a chance to tie this record, because in last season's Champions League, Liverpool performed very well in these positions, and they were favored by the public.
Not to mention Qiu Ze. In the eyes of the media and reporters, it is certain that Qiu Ze will win the award, and he is definitely the two best and will become the honor seeker for this Champions League award.
Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo is very unconvinced. He believes that he is the player most qualified to win the best player, and he is also a strong contender for the best forward.
Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo was selected as a forward rather than a midfielder, which may save Cristiano Ronaldo from the embarrassment of getting nothing. Yes, everyone thinks that if Cristiano Ronaldo is not mentioned
If he plays as a forward, he will not be able to compete with Qiu Ze, and Cristiano Ronaldo will definitely gain nothing.
Of course, this kind of comment made Cristiano Ronaldo very angry. He was so angry that he was no worse than Qiu Ze. He thought he was the one who deserved the best award and no one could replace him.
.
In fact, this honor is very important to Cristiano Ronaldo, because he wants to win this year's European Footballer and World Footballer. If he loses to Qiu Ze in the Champions League honor, then Cristiano Ronaldo
Basically bid farewell to the highest player honors of European Footballer and World Footballer.
Therefore, Cristiano Ronaldo is very eager to defeat Qiu Ze on all fronts, because Qiu Ze is his biggest competitor.
Seeing these remarks at this time, it would be strange if Cristiano Ronaldo was not angry.
Secondly, the players selected as the best players this time basically come from three clubs, and these three clubs are all from the Premier League. This year is really the year of the Premier League. English football has been glorious this year, shining throughout Europe.
These three teams are the three Premier League teams that have entered the last four. They are Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea. These three clubs are competing for the best positions. This makes the English media feel proud.
, this is their civil war in England. Regardless of the final result, these awards belong to their England.
Yes, the Premier League has made extremely rapid progress in recent years. Now they are charging towards the first league in Europe. However, at this time, in the eyes of many people, the Premier League is now the first league in Europe.
Already.
Moreover, at this time, almost all the stars are moving to the Premier League. The Premier League has gradually become the most popular league on the planet, which naturally makes the English people excited and proud.
However, when thinking about the poor performance of the England national team, all the English people's faces are dull. The Premier League is booming, while the England national team is declining crazily. This is really confusing. This also reflects England's
Football has big problems now.
Of course, these in-depth issues have nothing to do with the current UEFA Champions League draw ceremony. Now everyone’s eyes are on the UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony in Monte Carlo. They are all waiting for the results of this season’s UEFA Champions League group draw.
Qiu Ze and others followed the team's head coach Benitez and others at the UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony in Monte Carlo. At this time, the place was already full of people. Seeing Benitez's
Upon arrival, many people nodded to Benitez.
Of course, there are also people who simply ignore Benitez because the relationship between them and Benitez is not in place, and there is no need for him to curry favor with Benitez. Of course, they will not give Benitez a good look.
But Benitez didn't take this seriously, because he had really seen this too much.
Soon, everyone who was supposed to come had already arrived, and the draw ceremony for this season's UEFA Champions League group stage had also entered the final countdown. The group draw ceremony was about to begin.
