Liverpool won the UEFA Super Cup, and Jackie Chan once again performed superbly, which aroused praise from the European media.

Now everyone basically admits that Jackie Chan has locked in this year's Golden Globe Award.

Just relying on his performance in the three finals, it is enough for him to overwhelm Melo.

After winning the UEFA Super Cup, Jackie Lee returned to England with the team and hastened to prepare for the weekend's Premier League.

On August 17th, the second round of the Premier League, Liverpool ushered in the new season's home debut.

Since Jackie Lee joined the team last season, Liverpool has won three championships, including a gold-rich Champions League.

Today, Liverpool seems to be revived, and Liverpool fans are also very enthusiastic, creating a huge momentum at Anfield.

Especially when Jackie Chan appeared on the stage, he was even cheered by the uniform King Bruce.

Tonight, Liverpool's opponent is Bournemouth, one of the Premier League's newly promoted teams.

Speaking of it, although Bournemouth has a team history of more than 100 years, this year is the first time they have been promoted to the Premier League, and it is also the first time they have been promoted to the first level of the English league.

So, they are really a very young newly promoted.

As a newly promoted team, Bournemouth is also very conscious. Their goal is to strive for points and relegation.

They defended tenaciously at Anfield, paid the price of three yellow cards, and kept a clean sheet in the first half.

But in the second half, Jackie Lee broke the deadlock with a long-range shot, and then Firmino scored his first goal to join Liverpool, and also helped Liverpool seal the victory.

In this way, Liverpool won Bournemouth 2:0 at home, and while giving this newly promoted two consecutive losses, it also ushered in its own two consecutive Premier League victories in the new season.

The most watched game of this round of the Premier League is naturally the double-blue battle between Manchester City and Chelsea.

But what is unexpected is that Chelsea, the defending champion, lost 0:3 to Manchester City in the away game.

Since the start of the new season, Chelsea's state seems to be not very good. First they lost to Arsenal in the Community Shield Cup, and then drew with Swansea at home in the first round of the league.

It's good now, and it was a direct away defeat to Manchester City.

Originally, before the start of the Premier League, the major British media believed that Chelsea was the biggest contender for the Premier League title in the new season, followed by Manchester City, Liverpool and Manchester United.

But looking at it like this now, they suffered a two-round winless start in the league and three winless games in all competitions. Chelsea is afraid that something will happen.

There are only two rounds of the Premier League in the new season. Although there is no reason for it for the time being, the situation in the standings is quite obvious.

Both Liverpool and Manchester City have won two consecutive victories, and another team, the blue fox Leicester City, has also won two consecutive victories.

At present, only these four teams have won two consecutive victories in the Premier League.

But now the English media are still focusing on the three teams of Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City, and no one pays much attention to Fox City.

For a team that was desperately trying to avoid relegation last season, no one thought they could compete for the Premier League title. It was even said that everyone felt that Fox City might not be strong enough to qualify for the European Championship.

Even Ranieri, the head coach of Leicester City, said so. He said that his purpose of coming to Leicester City is

It's to help the team stay in relegation.

As a well-known tinkerer in European football, Claudio Ranieri has coached more than a dozen teams. Basically, he will go wherever there is a need for tinkering, and many of them are well-known teams.

Including Naples, Fiorentina, Parma, Roma, Juventus, Inter Milan in Serie A, Valencia and Atletico Madrid in La Liga, Chelsea in the Premier League, Monaco in Ligue 1, etc.

Ranieri was still coaching the Greek national team last season, but because the Greek team he led had a big upset in the European Cup qualifiers, a shocking 0:1 loss to the Faroe Islands, a basic team A national team composed of amateur players.

At the same time, Greece fell behind too many points in the European Cup qualifiers and basically missed the 2016 European Cup, so Ranieri was fired by the Greek Football Association in November last year.

After resting at home for half a year, Ranieri was invited to serve as the head coach of the Premier League Leicester City team. His main purpose is indeed to help the team avoid relegation.

Last season, Leicester City was a standard relegation team.

And asking Ranieri to come over, the most is to let the team not wait until the last two rounds to confirm relegation in a thrilling and difficult way like in the season.

Looking at it now, Leicester City has won two consecutive victories at the beginning, and the tinker has done a good job.

At this time, no one could have imagined what kind of crazy things this guy would do.

After the second round of the Premier League, Liverpool will play once a week for the next two weeks, which just allows Klopp to take the opportunity to run the team.

Putting Firmino up to play forward, this change is actually quite big, and it really needs a lot of practice.

At the same time, this season's Champions League qualifying play-offs are also proceeding in an orderly manner.

In this season's UEFA Champions League play-offs, the situation of the five major leagues meeting in advance is quite serious.

Ligue 1 Monaco meets La Liga Valencia, Bundesliga Leverkusen meets Serie A Lazio.

Of the five major leagues that need to participate in the UEFA Champions League play-offs, only the Premier League has escaped, and there has been no civil war in the five major leagues.

Representing the Premier League in the Champions League play-offs is naturally Arsenal, which finished fourth in the Premier League last season.

Arsenal's luck is good. It should not be a big problem to pass the customs of Bruges in the Belgian League.

But for the other four teams that have encountered civil wars in the five major leagues, their life may be difficult.

Especially Lazio in Serie A, they shoulder the burden of winning glory for Serie A.

Since the decline of Serie A, Serie A teams have really declined in the European war. From the Champions League to the Europa League, and even to the Champions League qualifying rounds, they have played quite badly.

In the UEFA Champions League play-offs in recent years, Serie A teams have always lost their lives. Only AC Milan in the season successfully passed once.

In addition to AC Milan, the last Serie A team that was able to pass the Champions League qualifying round and enter the Champions League match dates back to the season's Champions League, which was the last time Liverpool participated in the Champions League in the Benitez era. .

At that time, Fiorentina in Serie A eliminated Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League play-offs and entered the main match. They were finally assigned to a group with Liverpool, and they also teamed up with Lyon in Ligue 1 to squeeze Liverpool out of the top two of the group. They missed the UEFA Champions League that season. knockout.

Since then, Serie A teams have lost four times in five years in the Champions League play-offs.

In the last season, Sampdoria was eliminated by Werder Bremen in the Champions League play-offs.

In the last season, Udinese was eliminated by Arsenal in the Champions League play-offs.

In the last season, Udinese was eliminated by the Portuguese Super League Braga in the Champions League play-offs.

Season, AC Milan successfully passed.

In the last season, Naples was eliminated by Athletic Bilbao in the Champions League play-offs.

This time this year, the Serie A team has encountered teams from the same five major leagues.

Now that the Italian media is full of grief, this year's Serie A is likely to have only two teams playing the Champions League.
