Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 353 The Song of the Media Before the Opening War

On the eve of the opening of the 2018-2019 season, The Times, the most influential media in the UK, published an article with the following headlines, which analyzed the prospects of the double champion Liverpool in the new season.

"Can the Liverpool year continue! Since the opening of the Premier League, the best chance for three consecutive league titles is in front of Liverpool."

The results of the Premier League giants Liverpool in the Champions League are obvious to all. The miracle night in Istanbul may have exhausted all the luck of Liverpool in the previous ten years. In the 1990 years from 2016 to 26, the Red Army has not won the league championship again. The pain in the hearts of fans.

Since Klopp coached Liverpool, this team has undergone very positive changes. Last season, it successfully defended the league title and won the Champions League final against Real Madrid, which made everyone pay homage to this team.

This season, after actively introducing many players to strengthen the lineup, Liverpool finally has the capital to win more championships. Perhaps their glory will continue.

When Liverpool fans start jumping around and telling anyone who hears 'this is going to be our year to shine', maybe you think he's talking shit.

But anyone who has watched the Premier League in these two seasons can feel the transformation of Liverpool:
The signings were relentless, signing Keita early for 4800 million pounds, and spending 6680 million pounds on Alisson, the Rome goalkeeper who performed well last season and Brazil's number one national goal.

And as early as one and a half seasons ago, Van Dijk, who was introduced by the Red Army in the winter window with a lot of money, has proved to be an expensive but cost-effective deal. The number of goals conceded is 10 fewer than the previous season.

I believe that in the next season, the Red Army's defensive ability will be more significantly improved than last season.

Another key midfield signing for Liverpool is Fabinho, the Brazilian giant who was once associated with Manchester United, and is also an all-around fighter.

Fabinho has strong physical fitness and defensive ability, and his offensive ability is also quite good. In the past two seasons, he has scored 16 goals and 4 assists in Ligue [-].

As for Zhang Mai, the superstar of All England football, we cannot use words to describe his excellence and excellence. He is the biggest guarantee for Liverpool to win the championship!
It can be seen that in the new season, in the absence of Chamberlain due to injury, the Red Army's midfield strength has not decreased but increased, and the new season is also worth looking forward to.

At the league level, take Liverpool's biggest rival, Manchester City, for example. The Red Army has a proud killing streak against Manchester City.The league defeated Manchester City 4-3 for the second time in the league, and the Champions League double-killed the Premier League overlord in two rounds.

This allows people to see that Liverpool's future is promising!Do you still think Liverpool fans are talking nonsense?

This is the most powerful Red Army in the history of the club. Zhang Mai's deterrence on the court can cover all areas except the goalkeeper.

Although the attacking line seems to be the least moving part of Liverpool this summer, it has also received real reinforcement.

While keeping the powerful starting trident of Salah, Firmino, and Mane unchanged, Liverpool introduced "Swiss Messi" Shaqiri from the relegated Stoke City to assist Zhang Mai to dominate the frontcourt.

Shaqiri, the short-footed tiger who played for Bayern and Inter Milan, did not decline in his competitive state because of the smaller platform for the team.

Preseason - Streak wins against Manchester City duo, good condition!Judging from the positions of the opponents in the pre-season warm-up match, the arrangement of the Red Army is quite interesting.

From the non-professional team Chester, Tranmere, Bury and the newly promoted Blackburn Rovers who became the English League Two, then Dortmund, Manchester City and Manchester United with the youth army as the main players, and finally Naples and Turin with all the main players.

The strength, lineup and status of these opponents basically show a trend from weak to strong, which indicates that the Red Army will keep improving and become stronger when it is strong.

Schedule-The Champions League + Christmas brings two major difficulties, after March, accelerate to the championship!
From the perspective of the new season's schedule, if Liverpool wants to make a breakthrough, it is the most critical to grasp the difficult schedule from September to October and the "Christmas Express", which has always been difficult to play.

In the four rounds of Premier League matches from September 9th to October 15th, Liverpool will face challenges from Tottenham, Chelsea, and Manchester City.

According to the situation in previous years, the Champions League group stage will also start in mid-to-late September.

After defeating Real Madrid in the Champions League final last season to win the championship, Liverpool will be promoted to the first tier of the UEFA Champions League in the new season.

Although the original second-tier team Basel was eliminated, allowing Serie A Rome to follow up and advance to the second tier, but if Benfica successfully advances to the Champions League, then Liverpool can continue to play in the first tier of the Champions League group stage.

That means that the Red Army will not only face a week of double matches from September to October, but will also face greater pressure on formation and performance.

The Christmas schedule is another big test for the Reds:

In 17 days, the Red Army will play 5 games in the Premier League alone.In addition to the earlier "Double Red Club" with Manchester United, the games against Arsenal and Manchester City were played back-to-back, which is a major test for the Red Army's physical fitness and combat effectiveness.

The "Double Red Meeting" in mid-December and late February is undoubtedly one of the most important games for Liverpool every season.

After the second round of the league match with Manchester United, Liverpool will usher in a relatively easy schedule.

In the last 11 rounds, only the two top six teams, Tottenham and Chelsea, stood in front of the Red Army. As long as the Red Army scored the points they deserved in the face of other opponents, it would not be a bad idea to usher in a wave of winning streak in the final stage of the season. impossible.

In general, as long as Liverpool can survive two relatively difficult competition periods with a greatly enhanced lineup thickness, and score enough points in the remaining games, then Liverpool will have a great chance to hit the three consecutive Premier League titles !
However, Liverpool, which is in full swing, also has hidden worries: high consumption, unaffordable injuries, and the integration of new aid?

As we all know, the Red Army under Klopp is known for its fast, passionate, and rock-and-roll offensive football. The trident on the forward line and Zhang Mai can form a world-class 4×100 relay team.

In the past two seasons, the running distance of the Red Army has left a deep impression on people. "Youth and good physical strength" is simply synonymous with the Red Army soldiers.

According to statistics, before the Champions League final last season, Liverpool ran 5 kilometers more than their opponents Real Madrid in the Champions League alone.

如果以一个球员场均10公里跑动估算，红军在12场欧冠比赛就对手皇马多跑了60公里，相当于6个球员在密集的赛程中多踢了1场球。

If you zoom in to the entire season, the exhaustion of physical energy and the accumulation of fatigue will have a greater impact on the sprint stage at the end of the season, and it is impossible for the Red Army soldiers to play every year.

Injuries and fatigue will not only bring about a decline in competitive status, but may also have the impact of injuries.

Like the team's top striker Salah, he played 52 club matches last season.After being injured against Real Madrid, he participated in the World Cup after a period of recuperation.

If the physical fitness and competitive state of him, Zhang Mai, Mane and others cannot be adjusted through a good rotation, when the chance to win the championship comes again at the end of the season, the Red Army is likely to let it slip away and be unable to seize it.

In addition to physical problems, the potential running-in problem is also a problem that Liverpool, especially the midfield line, needs to face.

Liverpool has been hit by injuries this summer and has even bid farewell to the new season ahead of schedule. The introduction of Keita and Fabinho by the Red Army actually only filled the original vacancy.

After the team captain Henderson played 7 World Cup games with England and returned to the team late, the two need to adapt and integrate into Liverpool's tactical system faster and get in touch with other teammates as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the situation will not be as optimistic as it says when the devil's schedule of double matches in the Champions League in September comes.

Zhang Mai, the number one star in the Liverpool team, does not have to worry about his physical strength or injuries, but if his teammates hinder him too much, Zhang Mai will be powerless, because football is an 11-man sport after all.

Liverpool in the new season is undoubtedly the most capable Liverpool in recent years to defend the three consecutive Premier League titles.

They still won the Champions League last season despite the shortage of troops, and they have the ability to launch an impact on the championship in both the league and the Champions League this season.

As long as they can solve the problems of integration and running-in of new aid, avoid possible injury problems through rotation, and successfully pass the test of the two devil's schedule, they have every chance to create three consecutive Premier League titles.

After all, Liverpool now has Zhang Mai, Salah, Mane and Firmino with the forward trident, and the other players in the midfield are all world-class players.

The defense line has the world's top gates like Van Dijk and Maguire, and Arnold and Robertson on the two wings are also excellent offensive and defensive.

Finally, there are the two top goalkeepers guarding the Longmen, Alisson and Pickford, two world-class national goalkeepers.

Liverpool's full-court configuration can be said to be unrivaled in today's clubs, not Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Paris, Bayern and Juventus!

Compared with superstars, Liverpool's Zhang Mai can exchange for any one of Melo, and other player configurations are better than any European giants.

In the 2018-2019 season, we expect Liverpool to dominate the whole of Europe, not just the Premier League having a "Liverpool Year".

Let the whole of Europe tremble under the invincible iron hooves of the Red Army, and achieve the "Liverpool Year" in world football!
