1405 Finally has the appearance of the defending champion
The English scored many goals, which is naturally popular among the Fleet Street. This way, regardless of whether the game is rich in content, it can at least make the audience excited and excited.
After five rounds, the situation in England also made Fleet Street full of expectations.
Defending champion Liverpool did not continue the fantastic start of the previous two seasons.
Manchester United's five-game winning streak started with 15 points and topped the list.
Manchester City followed closely with four wins and one draw and 13 points.
Chelsea has 5 points behind Manchester United with three wins and one draw.
Liverpool beat Manchester United by 8 points with two wins, two draws and eight points!
Arsenal scored 4 points.
The defensive champion's 7 points behind the Red Devils made Koeman begin to suffer from outside pressure.
But Koeman was very calm in the team. He simply said to the players: "The league has just begun. We don't need to care too much about the standings. Let us keep our focus on working. Then our championship will come. However, this also requires us to put in more effort and sweat than in the past. Please work hard together. We are on the road of glory and enjoy glory, while also having more awareness."
Liverpool's team was not disturbed by external public opinion, and they were united as one. Renner also apologized to everyone at the team meeting. He issued a military order and would work hard to recover and strive not to drag the team down. In a good atmosphere of mutual encouragement and competition, Liverpool is ready to attack the League Cup.
Given that Liverpool has performed very poorly in the local Cup over the past two seasons!
Liverpool club senior executives also complained about Koeman. Koeman will devote some energy to the local cup this season and pay more attention.
In the away game to challenge Brighton, Koeman sent a substitute and a small number of main players.
Young player Sterling began to make his mark in Liverpool's substitute lineup. He shone in this game, assisting Raul and Kuyt to score. The report card of the two assists was already very impressive.
Liverpool won Brighton 3:0 in the away game and successfully advanced to the top 16 of the League Cup.
In the sixth round of the UK over the weekend, Liverpool played all their main players to face Wolves at home.
Even if there is a Champions League mission in the middle of next week, we cannot ignore the gap of 7 points behind Manchester United in the league.
The relegation team Wolves came to Anfield not only with a passive defensive attitude, but also sent substitutes and young rosters to Anfield.
The Wolves coach's explanation for the roster is: he just played in the League Cup in the middle of the week, and many players have poor physical condition and need to rest.
The Wolves' approach was bombarded by the coaches of the other four strong teams in Britain.
Ferguson, Mancini, Wenger, and Boas all said that Wolves went to Anfield to pay 3 points to defending champion Liverpool!
Since it is not a home game, the Wolves have no face to worry about.
They probably weighed it and pessimistically believed that even if all the main players went to Anfield to tie Liverpool, they would not get the desired result. They would die at all times and without any hesitation, so they might as well keep their strength.
Liverpool, who has devoted all its main players, is very reasonable at home.
After Qin Xiong and Suarez scored two goals each, they cried out to withdraw.
The Wolves came to Anfield and gave away 3 points. If Liverpool still started a big killing, it would be a bit too cruel.
Of course, 4:O's big victory is not considered a big kill for Liverpool.
Liverpool won the victory. Manchester City defeated Everton at home 2: O without bloodshed, Chelsea defeated Swansea 4:1 at Stamford Bridge, and Arsenal defeated Bolton at home 3: O. In the championship group, only Manchester United was tied 1:1 by Stoke City.
After 6 rounds, Manchester United's lead was shortened.
Manchester United scored 16 points.
Manchester City scored 16 points.
Chelsea scored 13 points.
Liverpool scored 11 points.
Arsenal 7 points
The second round of the mid-week Champions League group stage begins.
Liverpool faces Olympiacos at home.
The Reds' formation style of the new season has basically been confirmed.
After nearly two months of experimentation, Koeman set his main formation to 4312.
Qin Xiong retreated and lies behind the double forwards.
The wing attack was handed over to two full-backs.
The forward who can't be beaten on the front line is Suarez. His risk partners are adjusted according to the opponent, and Raul and Kuyt rotate. If there is insufficient staff, young player Sterling is also an option.
Qin Xiong is actually a libero in the frontcourt, and behind him, Alonso is basically an unstoppable choice.
Then, according to the opponent and the actual situation on the spot, you can basically match two defensive midfielders or supportive central defenders, Kabaye, Gerald, Lucas, Mascherano, Tiot, and Koeman to push the midfield advantage to the limit.
The formation can also be switched according to actual needs. Qin Xiong can change the formation to 41 or 433 when playing against the winger.
Based on Liverpool's past success, Koeman has been making Liverpool's comprehensive technical and tactical capabilities continue to improve as much as possible.
Olympiacos faces Liverpool's powerful offensive firepower suppression at Anfield, and finds little opportunities.
But they still scored one goal by counterattacking while they were two goals behind.
Liverpool eventually defeated Olympiacos 4-1 at home with Suarez's hat-trick and Scotter's goal.
Another game in the same group showed incredible results.
Dortmund, who was revived in German football, rushed to France and lost to Marseille at the feet of the O:3!
After two games, Liverpool ranked high with 6 points.
Marseille also won 6 points in both games and ranked second.
Olympiacos scored second to last.
Dortmund is also a part of the same disease, and the group is at the bottom.
Back in the league, entering October, in the last British League game before the Fifa match, Liverpool will rush to Goodison Park Stadium to face their dead rival Everton.
Everton has been relatively stable in these years due to his capital strength, but he is a moderate team in Britain and China. He cannot go up or down. After Baynes and Arteta were poached by the giants, although the team's strength has rebounded through the transfer market, the gap with the giants is even greater.
Liverpool played fiercely with Everton at Goodison Park Stadium for 90 minutes. In addition to Baynes's booing from the Toffees fans, Liverpool's team performed well.
On the away game, Qin Xiong scored consecutively, received Johnson's cross from the wing and scored. He then hit a continuous wall and collided with Gerald, who had returned, and then entered the penalty area and passed the defender and shot.
Liverpool finally defeated Everton 3:0 at Goodison Park Stadium. The team won four consecutive victories in various competitions, and their performance became more stable, and finally looked like a defending champion.
Chapter completed!
