1232 Rising Manchester City
1232 Rising Manchester City
Three goals down at Anfield, with less than half an hour left, everyone knew Arsenal were doomed, and even Wenger would admit it deep down.
After Raul scored the goal, Koeman began to deploy troops, mainly to let some players rest.
In fact, according to Arsenal's current posture, Liverpool has a chance to expand the score again if they want to take advantage of the victory, but Koeman doesn't think it is necessary to do that. After all, this is just a league where a win will get 3 points.
Raul was replaced by Dirk, Torres was replaced by Tiot, and then Qin Xiong was replaced by Lucas.
Liverpool put on a frenzied attacking midfield position. Although Arsenal had Nasri withdrawing from the midfield for offensive organization, Liverpool's midfield defense was improved to a higher level, destroying, destroying, and constantly destroying, allowing Arsenal It is impossible to organize an effective attack at all.
Time passed by every minute and every second, Arsenal became more and more depressed.
When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the Arsenal players stood on the pitch with a sense of disorientation.
The season has just begun!
But just after the first 90 minutes of fighting, they ushered in a disastrous defeat, which is absolutely unacceptable.
The hit to morale would be huge.
Wenger and Koeman shook hands after the game, then walked grimly into the Anfield tunnel.
The Red Army Liverpool made a good start to the league opener.
At the post-match press conference, Wenger said that the new season has just begun, and the team still needs to adjust. This loss will not bring too much negative impact to the team.
Koeman also said that even if they beat Arsenal 3-0 in the first round, it cannot be said that Arsenal lost the possibility of winning the championship. As for Liverpool's new attack group, Koeman was not dazzled by the victory.
"Any technical and tactical system needs to go through a lot of tempering. Today we only played against Arsenal, and the effect is not bad, but we have not met other opponents with different styles. Therefore, we cannot jump to conclusions yet."
After the opening game of the new season, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United won one after another. Only Arsenal lost 3 points at Anfield.
The Blues Chelsea went on a rampage at Stamford Bridge, killing West Brom 6-0, and Drogba scored a hat-trick.
The Red Devils got off to a perfect start to the season with a 3-0 win over Newcastle United at Old Trafford.
It is worth mentioning that many famous coaches believe that the Premier League has entered the era of "hegemony".In addition to the traditional BIG4 group, Everton, Tottenham, and Manchester City can also play the role of spoilers in the championship.
The biggest improvement here is Manchester City, but in the opening game, Manchester City had no achievements at White Hart Lane and Tottenham.In the end, a 0:0 handshake was made.
The reason why Koeman did not pursue Arsenal's victory in the opening game is that Liverpool will go to the next-door neighbor Manchester to challenge the rising Manchester City in the second round of the league!
Even if it lacks honor, Manchester City's strength on paper has improved year by year. This cannot be ignored. As the defending champion, the Red Army naturally cannot take it lightly.
On August 8, before Liverpool went to Manchester, the other 23 games in the Premier League were all over.
This round of the Premier League is estimated to make Premier League fans all over the world crazy.
Arsenal 6:0 Blackburn.
Chelsea away 6:0 Wigan Athletic.
Newcastle United 6:0 Aston Villa.
Only these three games contributed 18 goals.The three massacres shocked European football.
Especially Chelsea, who scored 12 goals in two rounds, it seems that Ancelotti's team has re-emerged after losing the Community Shield!
Manchester United was a bit unlucky, conceding a goal in the last minute of the game.Drawn 1:2 by Fulham.
The game between Manchester City and Liverpool is the finale of this round. Before the start of this focus battle, people are predicting how many goals the two teams will contribute together.
Manchester City is not what it used to be. It is no longer the local tycoon team that could not buy top players even if they had money two years ago. This year they have further expanded their strength, not only won Yaya Toure, David Silva Waiting for these famous players from La Liga.It was announced a few days ago that the Italian weird boy Balotelli would join.
When Liverpool came to the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City fans were full of hostility towards them, and at the same time hoped that the team could take advantage of Liverpool to declare a strong rise.
It is believed that Manchester City have hope of winning the Premier League title.But this requires Manchester City to perform in a strong dialogue, and failed to win Tottenham at White Hart Lane in the opener.If it weren't for Ji Wen's performance, Tottenham might have defeated Manchester City instead.
Mancini's Manchester City still needs more patience from the outside world.
Amid the deafening cheers, Liverpool and Manchester City's starters walked into the stadium together.
Mancini and Koeman stood on the sidelines to supervise the battle, and the coaches of both teams attached great importance to this game.
"Welcome to the Etihad Stadium. I am the commentator Martin Taylor. Today, my partner Andy Gray and I will broadcast live the final match of the second round of the new Premier League season for all audiences. In the focus battle, the defending champion Liverpool is a guest to challenge Manchester City.
Andy, how far is Manchester City from the traditional BIG group? "
"In fact, looking at Manchester City's lineup, you will think they are better than Tottenham. If you compare them with Arsenal, not only will they not be worse than Arsenal, but they may be stronger than Arsenal.
But we must be aware that Manchester City is the team with the most frequent team changes in the past two or three seasons, which makes the team lack stability and a certain team foundation.
This will take time to get used to, Yaya Toure, Balotelli, Silva, etc., they are all very good players, but it still takes time and time for them to establish an incomparably tacit teamwork relationship. This will cost Manchester City a certain amount.
If you want me to say that Manchester City has the strength to qualify for the Champions League this season, but if you want to talk about the championship, sorry, they still have a considerable gap with the BIG4 group in terms of background.
But if Manchester City can move forward steadily, then next season or the next season, Manchester City will undoubtedly be a strong contender for the championship. They have a lineup that is the envy of top European teams and are still in the transfer market. Recruiting! "
"So in today's game, do you think Manchester City should be the weak side and Liverpool will win?"
"It's hard to say, Manchester City has a certain quality, they may do amazing things in 90 minutes, I can only say that at the end of the league run, the championship will not belong to Manchester City, but they will still be in the long season. Impressive performances and a couple of key wins, but that wasn't enough to make them champions.
In any case, today's game is a strong dialogue, let's see what kind of sparks the defending champion will burst out when they play against emerging strong teams! "(To be continued~^~)
