Chapter 883: .883 Golden Body Shattered

In the opening game of the first round of the Premier League of the new season, the match between Liverpool and Arsenal was blown up by the Fleet Street, and even used the description of the peak of the Champions League final!
Klopp and Situ Yunbing made the headlines, and Klopp is also considered to be the first instructor who drew his sword to kill the king during the Red Army dynasty!
Arsenal received a lot of praise, while Liverpool were "rationally" analyzed by Fleet Street the negative impact of Coutinho's departure and Gareth Bale's serious injury.
Obviously, Fleet Street is trying to cause trouble for Liverpool in public opinion, which can reduce Liverpool's strength!
In the first round of the league, the performance of other strong teams went smoothly.
Guardiola's official debut at the Etihad Stadium was unremarkable. He led his team to defeat the visiting underdog Sunderland 2:1. At least for now, Manchester City has not become strong.
Mourinho's Manchester United debut defeated Bournemouth 3:1 away and was described by Fleet Street as the comeback of the Red Devils!
Conte, who was about to regain the dignity of Chelsea, led his team to defeat West Ham 2-1 at Stamford Bridge. This was a tough battle. Last season, West Ham United won the upper reaches of the Premier League ranking!
In comparison, Tottenham led by Pochettino ended 1:1 at Goodison Park in the first round.
It seems that Pochettino's start is not ideal.
After a week of recuperation, Liverpool ushered in the second round of the league.
The Red Army was a guest to challenge Burnley.
The game was played in heavy rain, and Liverpool was in a quagmire away from home in line with the weather!
From the first second of the game, Burnley was both defending and not controlling the ball.
Whether it's the midfielder or the backcourt, the ball will pass directly to the frontcourt under your feet!
Most of the time Liverpool can clear the ball the first time!
But in the 90-minute game, Liverpool could not completely block every long pass of the opponent!
However, Liverpool’s attack group has a low success rate in the dense space. More opportunities come from long shots. But today may be due to the slippery ground. Liverpool’s shooting quality is also terribly low!
There were 32 shots in the audience, and one shot was averaged in less than 3 minutes. As a result, only a poor 7 shots were made!
And this 7-foot shot on the spot only scored one goal.
But Burnley only had 3 shots, 2 hits, 2 goals!
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Situ Yunbing wiped the rain off his face, turned blankly to shake hands with the opposing coach, and got into the player channel.
Looks a little embarrassed!
Liverpool set a record for possession of the ball in the entire court.
82.8%!
Even this ball possession rate can't bring the team even 1 point!
In an interview after the game, Situ Yunbing did not criticize Burnley's conservativeness.
"Liverpool performed very badly today. Even if it is due to the weather and the venue, I am not going to defend the team. We even appeared flustered in the attack, as if the ball under our feet was a bomb!
The quality of passing and receiving is not high, and there are few real opportunities to create.
If this continues, we will bid farewell to the Premier League champions before March next year! "
It is undeniable that the team's loss was due to the players. Situ Yunbing was also reflecting on his own problems while sitting in the bus and leaving the stadium.
Although the names of the players in the Burnley team are unknown, the team's strength has definitely grown after the summer transfers!
They spent 40 million pounds to introduce 7 players in the summer, and their important signings were all above the tens of millions of pounds.
In addition, even at home, they are conservative enough to play the ultimate defense, which is to exchange the number of long passes for a weak success rate.
It sounds like gambling, but it turns out they won!
Combined with the draw at the Emirates Stadium, Situ Yunbing believes that Liverpool would not be able to keep up with the times if they still follow the aggressive and oppressive style of play in the past!
It is an objective fact that the overall average strength of Premier League teams is constantly improving.
The income of each team is increasing, and in order to lock in the huge benefits of the Premier League, the club is willing to spend money, it is not surprising that the overall investment in the Premier League in the summer is the sum of the other three leagues!
And in this, Liverpool still dragged its feet...because they made money from the transfer market!
Situ Yunbing would never sign up for the sake of signing up. Such signings were just a waste of money and trouble for himself.
In this context, Liverpool may not be able to defeat their opponents as "wilfully" as the previous two seasons!
Realizing this made Situ Yunbing a little bit depressed, but for the championship, he could only accept reality.
In other matches in the second round of the league, Mourinho led Manchester United to a 2-0 victory over Southampton at home, starting with two consecutive victories!
Guardiola's Manchester City beat Stoke City 4-1 in the away game, showing off their sharp edge and starting their two consecutive victories!
Conte led Chelsea to defeat Watford 2:1 in the away game. Although it was only a small win in two consecutive rounds, the same two-game winning streak started!
Tottenham led by Pochettino beat Crystal Palace in White Hart Lane!
Klopp led Arsenal to win Leicester City 2:1 away!
Liverpool started the new season without winning two rounds, refreshing the "worst start" of Situ Yunbing's eight years of coaching!
Even if he took over Monaco's first season, it was the start of one loss and one win!
And this is also the worst ranking in the league since he coached the Red Army!
Liverpool, with only 1 point, is outside the relegation zone!
Fleet Street is naturally gloating.
"Liverpool enters a cold winter in the cold wind and rain!"
"The defending champion encounters Waterloo!"
"Situ Yunbing confessed to the crisis of losing the championship before March next year!"
"Five points behind the top of the list! The Red Army made a big somersault at the starting line!"
......
Situ Yunbing regrouped at the Melwood Training Base and re-exercised the technical and tactical system during which the English League Cup was staged in midweek.
Liverpool drew the former powerhouse Nottingham Forest.
This time they were on the home court and Situ Yunbing dispatched a full substitute lineup.
Although most of the bench players performed well, it is clear that some players in positions still need to be significantly improved before they become a burden.
Sancho, Madison, and Gondozi performed very averagely on the court. If it weren't for Vardi to turn the tide and receive Arnold's pass and assist before the end of the game, Liverpool might not have been able to win Nottingham Forest at home.
Fortunately, he entered the next round without any risk.
Situ Yunbing admitted frankly that Liverpool are now in a dangerous state in the pre-match press conference of the third round of the league.
"We have fallen behind by 5 points to some of the top teams since the beginning of the season. This is a dangerous sign. You must know that in the past 4 championship fights, I have two impressions. Before the final battle, Liverpool had a lead. All in 3-5 points, this advantage will allow the leading team to deal with the decisive battle more calmly.
And if we want to gain such an advantage, we must overtake the top group by almost 10 points!
This is not something that can be done in two or three games. If we can regain the lead before Christmas, then the situation can be eased.
The intensity of competition in the Premier League may be fully revealed in autumn!
We must stay focused, while calmly thinking about how to defeat the enemy that is blocking us. "
Speaking of the upcoming visit to North London to challenge Tottenham, Situ Yunbing once again mentioned the FA's schedule.
"At the beginning of the season, we were given 3 consecutive away games. I don't know if the FA is deliberately increasing the difficulty of our start, but it is indeed a big challenge for us.
Since we didn't win the two rounds, we desperately needed a victory to restore our confidence while also keeping us calm.
There is no doubt that if we still can't win the third league game, I have to doubt whether Liverpool has the strength to defend the Premier League champion, not to mention the huge disadvantage of at least 7 points behind in points! "
Regarding Tottenham, Situ Yunbing retained his views and did not say much.
Pochettino said at the pre-match press conference:
It’s really surprising that Burnley can beat Liverpool. They ended the unbeaten record of a great team. Their victory inspired everyone, excluding Liverpool fans. .
Burnley told the other Premier League teams that Liverpool is not invincible.
This may be the biggest miracle at the beginning of the new season!
So we think, Burnley can beat Liverpool, why can't Tottenham?
Of course we will try our best to beat Liverpool in the game! "
Burnley's defeat of Liverpool has indeed brought other teams a certain mental boost!
It's like completing the feat of slaying the dragon!
Tottenham immediately wanted to attack Liverpool at home, which couldn't be more normal!
On the weekend afternoon, the weather in London was gloomy and it seemed that it wanted to rain again, but it was always going to be unable to fall. Situ Yunbing led a team to visit Bailu Lane.
He did not have any verbal or physical communication with Pochettino before the game.
After entering Bailu Lane, he stood on the sidelines and waited for the start of the game.
Under the guidance and exaggeration of the media, Liverpool seems to have lost all the championships. They are now at the mercy of others. Everyone wants to sing and dance on their bodies, and smear the blood of the king as a victory emblem.
Pochettino wanted to come, Liverpool won two rounds, Situ Yun's desire to score points must be strong, so Tottenham prepared to play a defensive counterattack at home is the best way!
Burnley defeated Liverpool at home, isn't it just a defensive counterattack?
Burnley can do it, Tottenham will only do better than they do!
Amidst the enthusiastic cheering of the fans on both sides, Liverpool and Tottenham’s battle in White Hart Lane began. From the moment the curtain opened, Liverpool took the initiative on the field.
It seems that Liverpool really want to continue to fight hard in White Hart Lane.
This is in line with Pochettino's pre-match expectations, but what he did not expect is that Liverpool deliberately slowed down the rhythm!
Take control of the ball and strive to improve the quality of the offense, instead of pursuing the number of offenses in a fast-paced manner, and relying on defensive counter-grab to launch a continuous offensive!
When Liverpool's overall formation is very restrained, focusing on defense, and the attacking rhythm slows down, once Tottenham reveals that a player has lost positions in the counter grab, then Liverpool's fast attack will immediately speed up!
In the 16th minute of the game, Eriksson sent a wonderful pass to Mbappe who was inside. Aldreveld exposed defensive vacancies due to the grab. This was used by Mbappe and cut into the penalty area. After success, Mbappé shot the ball into the near corner of the goal with a low shot!
Situ Yunbing did not change his expression because of the goal. He held his chin slightly and stared at the arena almost indifferently, as if he scored a goal. It is a matter of course to lead!
