Chapter 658

The Premier League just finished the first round, and Liverpool will visit Manchester City in the second round.

In the middle of this week, comments from Manchester United Scholes on Fleet Street became the focus.

Scholes said in an interview: "I think the test for Liverpool will be this season!

In the history of the Premier League, only Manchester United has won three consecutive titles, not four consecutive titles, because the prosperity of three years is a small cycle for a team. At the same time, because of the success of the first two years, it will be more difficult to continue to succeed in the third year!

Liverpool are likely to have some unexpected problems this season, which will lead to their failure to defend the title!

Another factor is that the targeted deployment of Liverpool by other teams in the Premier League will be more clear!

Think about it. Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City have watched Liverpool win the championship for two consecutive years. Will they continue to fight for a Champions League seat?

It was a mistake for Liverpool to let Suarez and Sterling go. This is the beginning that they began to become arrogant. The real top players have a price but no market. Real Madrid bought Hames Rodriguez for $80 million, but what about his role or efficiency compared with Ronaldo, who is just a little more expensive than him? Which is cheaper?

And why is Real Madrid willing to spend so much money?

The reason is that there are almost no top stars who really flow into the market!

Just like Manchester City, no matter how rich they are, they can't buy Messi, because it almost wants to subvert the image of Barcelona, and it's priceless. "

Some people criticized Scholes for avoiding reporters when he was a player, but he became a big mouth after he retired.

In fact, in situ Yunbing's view, this is the embodiment of Scholes's dedication.

When you are a player, you should keep a low profile for the sake of the club, the team and yourself. That is a player model.

When he was a guest commentator after his retirement, he was paid to do the job. What did he want?

What he wants is how much he can say, good or bad. If he is still as silent as he was in the era of players, who will invite him?

Think of him as a mascot?

However, on this remark, situ Yunbing made a positive response before the arrival of the League at the weekend.

"I don't know where Scholes's basis comes from. He uses Manchester United as a case to predict. I don't know whether he predicted the ranking of Manchester United last season, which is the worst ranking in Manchester United's Premier League history. What does this mean?

Football can never be judged by past experience. Even if you are right, it is just luck.

In fact, Liverpool will have a lot of problems that we can't expect, because without the team, everything will be smooth and nothing will happen.

However, this is the purpose of each of our staff. Meeting and solving problems will never change the goal. The champion has never been sent to us. We need to overcome one difficulty after another and overcome one challenge after another before we are qualified to become the champion.

If Liverpool can't defend the title successfully in the end, it's definitely not the theory that three consecutive titles are the limit of the Premier League that restricts us!

Apart from Manchester United, no second Premier League team can win three consecutive titles. That's good. My goal is to lead Liverpool to become the second team to win three consecutive titles, or even the first team to win four or five consecutive titles in the Premier League! "

The reporters under the stage nodded one after another. Situ Yunbing's remarks were very polite to Scholes.

On the upcoming game, situ Yunbing said: "Manchester City is our great enemy to win the championship. The visiting game will be very difficult, but we are ready. I always have strict requirements for the team from the beginning of the season. I expect the team to be the first to rush out of the starting line when the starting gun rings and start to establish a leading advantage.

I'm not sure what attitude Manchester City will take at home. Maybe Pellegrini will make his team play more conservative, because we certainly don't want to lose at home. "

Finally, the question about sterling.

Situ Yunbing smiled and said: "when he left, I wished him good luck. That's all. He is now a player of Manchester City. Maybe he will bring trouble to Liverpool. After all, he is a player worth ￡ 55 million. If he is worthless, Manchester City won't want him, won't he?"

Situ Yunbing did not provoke Manchester City or launch psychological warfare before the game, and Pellegrini has always been perfunctory in dealing with the media. He does not want to entangle too much with Fleet Street, which will only bring trouble to the team.

This time is no exception.

On the afternoon of August 24, Liverpool came to Etihad stadium and had a dialogue with Manchester City!

Manchester City's team always feels like a mercenary team. They have no flag and no club symbol. The big reason is that the high salary contracts smashed when Manchester City introduced players at the beginning can easily give people the impression that these players joined Manchester City at a high salary.

For example, Yaya Toure from Barcelona to Manchester City, Aguero from Atletico Madrid to Manchester City were considered to have a better place at that time, but Manchester City bought people's hearts with money.

If a mercenary team has no achievements, it seems that there is no big problem for the players, because when they first came here, they first wanted to earn a high salary, not impact brilliance.

But that changed after Manchester City won the league title.

The club is more eager to prove itself in Europe. Manchester City's most pursuit now is the trophy. They have brought the club from the middle level of the Premier League to the first group in just five years. For the behind the scenes consortium, the honor can expand their influence in Europe, which is also the most fundamental reason why they spend a lot of money.

Last season, Pellegrini led the team to win the Carling Cup and the second place in the Premier League.

Compared with the performance of Manchester City last season, this result has improved, won the championship and improved the league ranking.

Enough to make a difference to the top. Whether we can go further this season depends on the performance of Manchester City.

But Pellegrini himself knows that Manchester City has come to the critical point. It is not difficult to get from the third place to the second place in the league, but it is more difficult than expected to get from the second place to the champion!

Liverpool's strength is rare in my life!

In the lively cheering atmosphere of Etihad, situ Yunbing and Pellegrini shook hands on the sidelines before the game. Situ Yunbing didn't say a word, but Pellegrini smiled at him: "I don't know whether my team can become a stumbling block on the road of defending Liverpool's title in the new season!"

Situ Yunbing was stunned and then suddenly realized.

Last season, he once said something to Pellegrini, suggesting that Manchester City is not qualified to stop Liverpool from moving forward, not even an obstacle.

It seems that Pellegrini is still very ambitious.

Situ Yunbing laughed off and didn't think so.

The strength of Manchester City is based on the overall hard power of the team, and the bonus of the team's soft power is almost small. This is why many fans feel that Manchester City can't beat super teams such as Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Just because there is no advantage in the comparison of the lineup, Manchester City's soft power still has an obvious gap compared with the super team.

Liverpool is also a super team now. It can't be said that Manchester City doesn't have the power to fight back, but if it really plays a two leg knockout game, the probability that Manchester City wants to knock out Liverpool may be very low!

Situ Yunbing didn't think about anything. His team is now sitting on the throne. Of course, it will encounter many challengers. If other strong teams in the Premier League accept their fate and are willing to bow down to the throne, the Premier League will be very boring.

When the first players of the two teams enter the field, the Manchester City public will look more serious. They may have a very strong fighting spirit and fighting spirit for the confrontation!

"Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the second round of the Premier League in the new season. Manchester City, the runner up of the Premier League last season, played against last season's champions Liverpool at Etihad stadium!

Both teams made a sensation in the transfer market this summer and performed well after the start of the new season. Liverpool swept Southampton with five goals in the opening game and Manchester City beat Newcastle United with two goals away!

Today's clash at the Etihad stadium came early, but I believe both teams have entered the state, and they are very clear that the clash between opponents competing for the championship is a six point battle!

No loss!

Let's look at the starting lineup of the two teams.

Manchester City started 4231 at home

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.

Defenders: sabaretta, kompani, demikelis, Clichy.

Midfield: Stirling, Fernando, Silva, Yaya Toure, Nasri.

Striker: Aguero.

Liverpool started 433

Goalkeeper: telstegen.

Defenders: azpiliquetta, Van Dijk, benatia, Robertson.

Midfield: Eriksson, Cantor, Camero.

Forwards: Gareth bell, levandovsky, kutinio.

At present, the confrontation between the two teams should be the dialogue between the strongest teams in the Premier League. Let's see what sparks the two teams will strike at the Etihad Stadium today! "

With the referee's whistle and the enthusiastic support of the fans, Manchester City took the lead in kicking off!

Situ Yunbing carefully observed Manchester City's playing style and team status today.

Last season, Manchester City's best performance was four players, Aguero, Yaya Toure, Dzeko and Silva.

In situ Yunbing's view, three of the players are normal, but Yaya Toure's brilliance has brought hidden dangers to the team's defense.

Therefore, Manchester City finally failed to set a new high in points. Once Yaya Toure goes all out to attack regardless of defense, it will make Manchester City's midfield lack the protection of the guard line.

If Manchester City wants to really change from a strong team to a top team, it must have strong people to do dirty work. Liverpool have Cantor and Camero, and Chelsea now have matic.

In order to meet Yaya Toure's desire to attack, Manchester City specially introduced Fernando.

But this is a temporary solution.

Therefore, the manager has been constrained by big stars in the technical and tactical setting. It is not surprising that guadiola abandoned Yaya Toure when he joined the Etihad stadium two years later.

But if Yaya Toure can sacrifice himself to achieve the team from now on, then Manchester City will be Liverpool's strongest Championship opponent!

Pellegrini wants to be the opponent of situ Yunbing. Situ Yunbing is curious whether he has sorted out his team.

He should keep his eyes wide open and observe carefully.
