After the three rounds of the Premier League, this has become a common question for all media. Welcome to read...
After Ferguson made a big deal in the summer, there are definitely not one or two head coaches who are as afraid as Su Yun. After all, there are only a few coaches like Wenger in the Premier League.
Chelsea is not the only Premier League team feeling the pressure.
Teams competing with Manchester United for the championship all feel nameless pressure. Even Arsenal players must be under pressure. But they have a good coach like Wenger who can adjust them.
Needless to say, many mid-to-lower teams can even make the team want to give up directly.
This is a kind of overwhelming style.
Seventy million pounds is enough to scare a large number of people to death. Even the players of most Premier League teams are not worth £70 million combined. Let alone spending seventy million pounds in one summer.
Many football critics have high praise for Manchester United. They believe that Manchester United will definitely perform well in the Champions League this season. As for the Premier League, does this still need analysis?
Things to understand.
But after the third round of the Premier League, everyone's views changed.
Paper tiger!
This is the most appropriate evaluation of Manchester United.
Manchester United, which looked promising at the beginning of the season, has completely shrunk.
After being tied 2-0 by Fulham at home in the first round of the Premier League, Manchester United was stubbornly blocked in the next two rounds. It should be said that Manchester United tenaciously tied their opponent.
In the second round of the Premier League, Manchester United tied with Blackburn Rovers 2-2 away from home.
What team is Blackburn Rovers?
A team that was relegated last season and finally promoted last season. When Manchester United met this kind of team, it was very difficult to get a draw.
If it weren't for Manchester United's tenacity and unyielding temperament, it would have been ruined long ago.
In the last ten minutes or so, Blackburn even besieged their opponents at home. Even the commentator said that if there were another ten minutes, Manchester United would definitely collapse.
What a tough draw.
So surprised.
But people's surprise is not over yet.
In the third round of the Premier League, Manchester United, which was in sluggish form, once again had a difficult draw with Aston Villa away from home.
Aston Villa led throughout the game, leading until the 83rd minute. At the 83rd minute, Beckham's full-moon scimitar helped Manchester United gain a point.
Aston Villa's chances in the whole game were much higher than Manchester United. Manchester United was also lucky, otherwise they would have lost their pants in this game.
Three rounds of the Premier League are over. Manchester United has only accumulated three points.
Completely different from what I imagined.
At the beginning of the season, Manchester United was high on the Premier League championship odds list. Below them were Arsenal and Chelsea. Following Arsenal and Chelsea were teams such as Liverpool, Leeds United, and Newcastle.
All media are optimistic about Manchester United.
From their point of view, there is no doubt that Manchester United will continue to win the Premier League. However, reality has given many football experts a resounding slap in the face.
Look at Manchester United's current points tally.
Also, the mental state that Manchester United showed during the game was completely laughable. Among the players who were brought in with huge sums of money, only Ruud van Nistelrooy performed well.
Scored two goals in the first three rounds of the Premier League.
It goes without saying that Veron is in poor form. The young central defender known as England's best also performed very poorly at Manchester United.
Of course, Manchester United still has a brother in trouble.
Liverpool, who tied in the first round of the Premier League, lost two games in a row in the next two rounds. In the second round of the Premier League, they lost to Southampton 0-2 away from home, and in the third round they lost 1-2 away from home.
Bolton.
The consequences of missing Houllier are becoming increasingly apparent.
Although Thompson is a famous player in Liverpool, he is obviously not qualified to be a head coach.
After three rounds of games, Liverpool only accumulated one point.
The one with good results is Arsenal.
Although Arsenal was defeated 0-2 by Leeds United at home in the second round of the Premier League, they once again swept Leicester City 4-0 in the third round of the Premier League.
The score reached six points.
Therefore, after the three rounds of competition, everyone's attention was focused on Chelsea.
Three consecutive wins!
An easy three-game winning streak!
In the second round of the Premier League, Chelsea met West Ham United. Facing West Ham United away from home, Chelsea won a 2-0 victory. Lampard returned to his old club and scored another goal.
In the third round of the Premier League, Chelsea met the big dark horse Southampton away from home.
If you ask who has the worst schedule this season, it must be Southampton.
I don’t know what the big hatred between the FA and Southampton is. In the first round of the Premier League, Southampton challenged Leeds United away. In the second round of the Premier League, Southampton faced Liverpool at home. In the third round of the Premier League, Southampton faced Chelsea at home.
In the fourth round, they faced Tottenham Hotspur at home, in the sixth round of the Premier League they met Aston Villa, and in the seventh round of the Premier League, they faced Arsenal at home.
This is Southampton's schedule.
Some media even analyzed before the game that Southamps could only get zero points after the first four rounds.
It's a pity that no one thought of it.
Southampton went crazy.
There was a big upset in the first round of the Premier League, and Leeds United were stunned. Unexpectedly, their performance in the second round was even better, and Liverpool was unable to fight back.
Known as the number one dark horse in the Premier League.
They played absolutely crazy. During the game, their biggest characteristic is that they are very active. They run non-stop from the frontcourt. Although there are basically no Premier League teams that cannot run, there are still a few who are as crazy as them.
In the end, Chelsea relied on Terry's header from a corner kick to be able to defend against this dark horse.
But no matter what, Chelsea won.
Three consecutive wins!
Chelsea immediately led Arsenal by three points, Manchester United by six points and Liverpool by eight points.
Very surprising standings.
Even Su Yun was surprised. Although Su Yun thought about starting the game with Manchester United and Arsenal, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Manchester United's downturn was something Su Yun really didn't expect.
As for Liverpool and Leeds United, they have long been out of Su Yun's consideration.
According to Su Yun, the only three teams that can compete for the Premier League championship this season are Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal.
Su Yun is very happy with the current situation.
Some good media have already uncovered Robson's words.
"This Chelsea team has matured. It is on par with the championship teams I have seen in recent years, such as Manchester United and Arsenal. I think Chelsea this season is qualified and capable to compete with Manchester United and Arsenal for the championship.
.”
Many people believe that Chelsea already has all the conditions to compete for the Premier League championship.
…………
The third round of the Premier League was played on August 25th.
After this game, Su Yun led Chelsea to compete in the second cup of the season. It was also Chelsea's fifth cup of the year.
European Super Cup.
As the name suggests, it is a competition to compete for the European King of Kings.
There were three cup competitions in Europe at that time. They were the Champions League, the European Cup Winners' Cup, and the UEFA Cup. The winners of these three cup competitions were called European Champions.
Therefore, when Vialli won the European Cup Winners' Cup with Chelsea, he was known as the youngest European championship coach in history.
We are all European champions.
Of course, the status of the UEFA Cup was lower than the other two at the time, so it was automatically eliminated. What if the remaining Champions League champions and Cup Winners' Cup champions are both European champions?
Although the Champions League is a competition between the top league champions of each country, the European Cup Winners' Cup is a competition between the cup champions of each country.
Now it seems that the Champions League has a higher status. And it's not even a little bit higher.
But this is only because of the impact of the Champions League expansion.
Back then, the winner of the Cup Winners' Cup was not much worse than the Champions League winner. The status of the two cup competitions was even the same. Everyone was the European champion, and the status disparity was not as great as it is now.
No one is convinced by anyone?
There should be a European king after all.
So all we can do is have a one-on-one PK.
This is the European Super Cup.
Now that the Cup Winners' Cup has been merged into the UEFA Cup, it will be easier to handle. The UEFA Super Cup is a match between the UEFA Cup champion and the Champions League champion.
Chelsea's opponent this time is Bayern from Germany.
Bayern!
This is the largest wealthy family in Europe.
He has a very high status in Europe. After Su Yun arrived in England, the only European giants that Su Yun has played so far are Barcelona. Because he has been struggling domestically, even in European competitions, he has only played in the UEFA Cup.
Therefore, there are not many opportunities to meet European giants.
Barcelona was the biggest club we met last season.
But in terms of status in Europe, Barcelona cannot catch up with Bayern.
Bayern is not only the king of the domestic team, but also has very good results in European football. The four Champions League trophies are the same as the English king Liverpool. They have both built their own dynasties.
Although Barcelona once had the title of Dream Team, it was not considered a dynasty at that time.
Compared with Liverpool's dominance of European football, Bayern's three consecutive Champions League titles, and Milan's dynasty from the late 1980s to the early 1990s, the Dream Team was nothing more than that. And in European football, Bayern is the leader of German football.
represent.
The status is very high.
Bayern was also very strong last season.
Like Chelsea, they are also a triple crown winner. Of course, the gold content is higher than Chelsea, but not as good as Manchester United's triple crown winner.
Last season Bayern won the Bundesliga championship, German League Cup championship and Champions League championship.
The German Cup is an important cup in Germany, far more important than the German League Cup. Because Bayern is not as good as Manchester United's Triple Crown. But compared to Chelsea, the gold content is much higher.
Just because Bayern failed to win the German Cup, European football does not even recognize Bayern's Triple Crown. What's more, Chelsea's so-called Triple Crown.
Only the English media can brag about Chelsea's quadruple crown without any regard for face.
The European Super Cup is played on August 30th.
It was played at the Stade Louis II in Monaco.
Therefore, after playing Southampton, Chelsea was already preparing to leave for Monaco.
