Chapter 382
Two common phenomena appeared in the 11th round of the Premier League. One is that all the games were silently mourned for the chairman of Leicester City who died in the crash before the game. The giants have defeated their opponents.

Manchester United: Martial scored a goal, Rashford made a 92-minute lore, Manchester United narrowly beat Bournemouth 2-1 away, and Mourinho returned to the blue again.

Tottenham: Kane and Sun Xingming showed their strength, and Tottenham beat Wolves 3-2 away at the Molineux Stadium.

Morata scored twice, Pedro scored a goal, Townsend once equalized, Chelsea beat Crystal Palace 3-1 at home, and the winning streak pressed for the top spot.

Manchester City beat Southampton 6-1 at home, Sane made Holt's own goal, Aguero passed the shot, Silva scored, Sterling scored twice, Sane added the icing on the cake.

After Manchester City's 3-game winning streak, they continue to be 5 behind the leader Liverpool.

In addition to the strong dialogue between Arsenal and Liverpool, which ended 1-2, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United defeated their respective opponents-against the Premier League
As far as the "Big6" is concerned, this is a weekend without any surprises.

Liverpool still maintained a complete victory, Manchester City and Chelsea only lost to Liverpool, and the clear-cut pyramid ranking is the first time in the history of the Premier League.

The current standings situation is naturally amazing:

Liverpool scored 11 points in 3 rounds and naturally ranked No.1; Arsenal, which had won 7 consecutive Premier League victories, lost to Liverpool and was squeezed out of the top four; Manchester United's recovery momentum is good, but they have already been dropped by the top four .

Thinking back to the 15-16 season, Leicester City staged the miracle of winning the Premier League. At that time, the level of chaos in the Premier League may have reached its peak.

In the following year, the "Big6" returned to their respective positions, and Zhang Maili helped the Red Army win the championship. In the following year, Uncle Scum's Liverpool and Guardiola's Manchester City greatly raised the standard of winning.

And this season, the high-level brutal competition that people expect may really come.

Comparing it with the history of the Premier League, it is not difficult to see how crazy the competition in the Premier League is this season.

After 11 rounds last season, Manchester United ranked second with 23 points, and now they can only rank fifth with 23 points.

Another example is Ferguson's last season in charge of Manchester United, which started with 11 points in 27 rounds, but compared to the goal difference, it can only rank fourth.

在2003-18年的15个英超赛季里,能够在11轮过后比27分+16个净胜球成绩更好的球队,总共只有6支,而本赛季就有2支。

Of course, without exception, those 6 teams are the final league champions, and they all have the strongest start in the history of the Premier League.

In other words, Manchester City's start is not bad, but it may not be enough to compete for the championship this season.

Compared with the situation of the five major leagues this season, the Premier League is also the most competitive overall.

La Liga leader Barcelona has only 11 points in 24 rounds, and Real Madrid is only ranked 6th. After this round, the total points of the top four are at most 85 points, while the Premier League has 107 points.

意甲领头羊尤文图斯11轮31分,国米和那不勒斯都是25分追赶在后,No.4的AC米兰21分。

This overall is relatively similar to the Premier League, but Juventus performed strongly and opened up a certain point difference, and the lead in winning Liverpool is only 5 points.

Bundesliga Dortmund's 10 points in 24 rounds is not bad, but even if Borussia and Bayern win the next round, they can only reach Arsenal's points after 11 rounds.

Paris in Ligue 12 is too strong, winning all [-] rounds. Other teams in Ligue [-] are also too weak. Paris has opened up a double-digit point difference.

In this round against Southampton, Manchester City killed the suspense early, and the victory came very easily.

Although Chelsea encountered some twists and turns, they continued to win; Tottenham and Manchester United's away games were not so easy, but both scored three points.

This phenomenon is increasingly becoming the norm in the Premier League:
As long as it is not a "Big6" civil war, most of the time, the strong teams can take all three points.

In case of overturning on a relatively weak team, it may face the situation of being chased by several other teams at the same time.

In fact, it is not a new thing for the strong teams to regain their true colors this season, but the stability of the strong teams this season is particularly prominent.

When Conte led Chelsea to win the championship, at least the Blues also benefited from the timely adjustment of the Italian coach after encountering obstacles at the beginning of the season.

And when Uncle Zha led Liverpool to the championship last season, people discovered that they had to maintain a very high scoring efficiency from the beginning to keep up with the Red Army.

You have to win the games before and after the Champions League, and you have to win the so-called tough away games. There is almost no room for mistakes, and there is almost no room for two or three rounds of loosening.

Every point is extremely important, and no one wants to fall behind others, no matter what round it is.

I don’t know how Manchester City and Chelsea fans feel now, but catching up with Liverpool must be quite torturous!
After all, this opponent makes almost no mistakes, forcing you to show at least the same stability, talk directly and work hard.

In La Liga, both Barcelona and Real Madrid have the experience of winning 100 points, and the two teams have also staged several 90+ versus 90+ league title fights.

And this kind of competition intensity is undoubtedly more exciting than the championship competition with points in the early 80s.

Similarly, Juventus' 95 points to Naples' 91 points championship in Serie A last season was also very tragic.

People used to say that the Premier League was "intensively competing for the championship", but they were actually saying that the Premier League lacked top-notch dominant teams.

If the Premier League can really have a Real Madrid vs. Barcelona-style high-scoring competition throughout the season, it will undoubtedly be a big improvement for the two championship teams.

Judging from the current standings, the battle for the top four in the Premier League this season will definitely be fierce, and the intensity of the championship is at least expected to be comparable to the top four.

Of course, this is not to say that the competitiveness of the Premier League "Big6" in the European arena has reached the level of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but the overall competitive level is indeed steadily improving.

The Premier League has also changed from being more than fierce but lacking the dominant team, to a situation where the dominant team appears and the strong upgrade challenges.

Considering the intensity of competition and the quality of competition, the Premier League this season is undoubtedly impressive.

After Liverpool's dominance came out, other strong teams are also struggling to catch up, and the upgrades of Manchester City and Chelsea are clearly visible.

And with a more stable performance in his own league, he may naturally have more confidence in the European competition.

Although the current situation in the Premier League is very fierce, after all, the league has only played 11 rounds, and the "Big6" civil war has not yet ended a full cycle, and it is difficult to say the points situation at the end of the season.

However, the Premier League powerhouses are currently facing more intense competition, and their requirements have also increased. This is the biggest motivation for improving the strength of the team. On November 11, the Premier League teams will soon usher in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage. This is the real battlefield to test whether the strength of the Premier League giants has improved.
