Chapter 660 First round! focus!

On August 13, the opening game of the Premier League will be played by Hull City against last season's Premier League champion Leicester City.

After 90 minutes of the game, Leicester City failed to play enough performance, and regrettably lost 2:1 to Hull City in the away game.

Many people also said that the miracle of Leicester City has been far away from them.

Especially after experiencing the Community Shield game, Leicester City's state has also become ups and downs, as if it has suffered a big blow.

For this reason, a large number of media began to report that they are not optimistic about Leicester City this season.

At the same time, in the 6 games on the 13th, Everton VS Tottenham Hotspur is one of the favorites.

Pochettino's Tottenham completed a Jedi counterattack at the end of last season, not only successfully entered the top three positions, but also qualified for the Champions League.

But in the first game, they drew with Everton 1:1 away.

Tottenham players Lamela and Everton Barkley contributed two goals in this field.

The game on the 13th ended, and the media also focused their attention on the next day's game.

The game on the 14th is the key battle.

Manchester United, Manchester City, and Chelsea all played their season openers on this day.

There is also the highlight of Liverpool's home game against Arsenal.

Before the game, many people began to predict the trend of the game.

More people said that Liverpool had a higher winning percentage.

After all, Liverpool had performed enough last season, and they had a home bonus. They obviously have an advantage.

On the other hand, Arsenal has just completed the reorganization. Although they won the Community Shield, the strength of the lineup still has a question mark.

But this game is still very interesting.

First of all, there is a confrontation between two marshals.

Mourinho VS Klopp.

Secondly, the defense lines of both sides are extremely tough.

Whether it is the combination of Van Dijk + Lovren or the combination of Hummels + Jimenez, these can be called first-class central defender combinations.

Secondly, Arsenal's strong midfield performance will play a key role.

Liverpool, on the other hand, rely more on the trident in the frontcourt to open up the situation.

Both sides have their own advantages, but we need to see which side has a better state.

On August 14, the entire Arsenal team took a bus to Anfield Stadium.

In the previous two rounds, both Manchester City and Manchester United won their own games and successfully scored three points.

After these two games, the highlight of this round came.

Liverpool VS Arsenal!

Fans all over the world also got up from the bed, ready to watch this battle of focus.

After coming to Anfield, the hot atmosphere has begun to bake the entire stadium.

The strong football atmosphere at the scene is telling everyone that the fierce Premier League has officially opened.

The entire Arsenal team walked into the stadium in a low-key manner.

"Arsenal and Liverpool have entered the stadium. We can see from the screen that both Chen Man and Le Kai have serious expressions. It is obvious that the teams of both sides attach great importance to this game. It is not only their first round of the season, but also a key game to test the state of the new season! Reporters in front of the team report back!"

The camera turns to the CCTV live broadcast room.

"Okay, thank you Xiaoman for the report." He Wei flipped the card in his hand and said to the camera; "Judging from the performance of the two teams, this kind of strong game atmosphere has gradually affected them, and for the two teams For me, this opening match is even more important!"

"Arsenal has completed the reorganization this season, how Mourinho's lineup is configured, these all need a strong enemy and opponent to test!"

"Liverpool failed to win the championship last season, whether they can continue their form, and whether they can still perform well this season, these will all be presented in this game!"

The players on both sides quickly completed their warm-up and returned to the locker room.

In Liverpool's locker room, Klopp said loudly; "The new season, everything starts with this game. Believe in your own abilities. You are the strongest group. Walk out of the player tunnel and win the game! Give back to the fans with a wonderful game! "

In Arsenal's locker room, Mourinho said loudly: "I am an excellent head coach, I am determined to be so, and the players I pick must be the top players, you are excellent, and the excellent ones deserve it." Go for the win, so get out on the court and grab the win! Everyone ready to fight!"

At the two corners of the player channel, Arsenal and Liverpool came out almost at the same time.

Lucky led the Arsenal players to look ahead.

Henderson also had a silent and serious face.

The two sides came to the player channel and stood up. They were silent, and a tense atmosphere began to permeate.

Even the referee in front can feel the pressure of the imminent battle.

The tense atmosphere spread, the referee turned his head and reminded after receiving the entrance prompt ahead; "Get ready."

Before the words were finished, the roars of the two captains rang out directly.

"Arsenal!!!—"

"Liverpool!!—"

Arsenal players shouted: "Go!!"

Liverpool players do not back down; "Ready to fight!!"

The voices of both sides were high, and a smell of gunpowder burst out suddenly, and even the referee was slightly shocked.

Soon, the referee took the lead, followed by players from both sides.

Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! —

The entire Anfield stadium shook.

In the first game of the season, they also seemed extremely excited.

Of course, cheers were given to the Liverpool players.

What is left to Arsenal is crazy boos.

Cheers continued to shake the stadium, and a huge sense of oppression quickly hit.

In this atmosphere, players from both sides came to the front of the field and arranged in a horizontal formation.

At the same time, the starting rosters of both players also appeared on the big screen.

Arsenal (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech.

Defenders: Bellerin, Jimenez, Hummels, Robertson.

Midfielders: Aubameyang, Kanter, Lucky, Ramsey, Wilshere.

Forward: Lukaku.

Liverpool (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Alisson.

Defenders: Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Moreno.

Midfielders: Chen Man, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Chamberlain, Salah.

Forward: Firmino.

The head coaches of both sides have come to the arena respectively, and their expressions are extremely serious.

Klopp's expression is very serious. For some reason, he always feels a little flustered.

He looked at Le Kai.

Although the tactics have been arranged, will it really work?

The captains of both sides complete the side guessing.

Liverpool took the lead in getting the ball.

Both sides came to their own half.

The atmosphere became more tense.

Soon, under the whistle of the referee, the game officially started.

"Here is the first round of the 2016/2017 Premier League season, Liverpool VS Arsenal, this is also the focus of this round."

Accompanied by the opening of commentators everywhere, after Firmino kicked off, Liverpool took the lead in attacking.

It is still the rapid bottoming of the right wing.

Liverpool wants to rely on Chen Slow's speed to try a wave of offense.

After the ball came to Chen Man's feet, this guy immediately started to explode, rushing past like an arrow off the string.

The Arsenal players also instantly entered a defensive state.

But surprisingly, Le Kai did not return to defense.

Seeing this, Klopp's expression was slightly taken aback.

Even Chen Slow felt a little weird, the breakthrough went so smoothly.

But when he was about to complete the bottom, Bellerin had already stuck over, and at the same time Ramsey also blocked his horizontal inward line, and Jimenez stood in the protection position.

Almost no attacking angles anymore.

Arsenal's defensive positioning is very fast.

After struggling for a while, Chen Slow still couldn't see any chance, so he could only choose to pass back.

It happened that Henderson came to the side to receive the ball, and Chen Slow passed it immediately.

But after the ball was passed, Chen Slow's expression changed.

"Be careful behind you!"

Chen Man shouted anxiously.

Henderson immediately took possession of the ball and wanted to protect, but a foot suddenly protruded from the side.

Henderson pulled the ball and wanted to retreat, but he found that he could not retreat.

At this moment, Le Kai was standing behind him, stuck firmly in his position.

"Oops!"

In desperation, Henderson poked the ball with his toe.

The ball hit Kanter's calf and flew out of the sideline.

Arsenal's first attempt at stealing was unsuccessful, but it did a good job of defending against Liverpool's attacking attempt.
