Not everyone is rich in the Premier League, but the teams in the Premier League can get a lot of money from the huge broadcast fees every year, and many teams in the Premier League have small stadiums, but the attendance rate has always been relatively high, and the game-day income is not low, so in general, the relegation teams have money to squander in the transfer market.

This is not the case with Stoke City, whose owners, the Coates family, also have a net worth of almost £10, but they have been surprisingly slamming in the transfer market, and they have completed most of the deals so far this season, with a slight surplus in and out, meaning that more money is made from selling than buying.

Through the transfer, it can basically be seen that Stoke City is also a team committed to relegation, and there is no further thought.

These are all well known, it is difficult to say clearly, how Stoke City's relegation hero Pulis was fired, Stoke City said that he is not capable of leading the team further, that means how to show that he is a Premier League team with pursuit.

But in fact, no, Prince said that you want to progress, first of all, you have to buy people, how can you go further if you don't buy people, and it is a matter of course that the two sides break up unhappily.

Of course, Stoke City chairman may be right about one thing, Prince is indeed not a good manager who can bring a mid-table team to the next level, even if he is the Premier League's manager of the year, Prince's tactical play is still a bit too simplistic and crude.

The reason why the giants are not interested in him is because he is not playing with the giants at all, which one of the giants invited him, if nothing else, there is a great possibility that the strong team will be brought into a relegation team.

Stoke City's current manager, Mark Hughes, who was beaten by Liverpool last season and who was haunted by Liverpool's double last season, is on his mind at BET365 this time with the only thought of causing trouble for Liverpool.

On Liverpool's side, Klopp sent a 4231 formation, the goalkeeper is still Mignolet, the defenders Klein, Degan, Lovren, and Moreno are lined up, the midfielder Kante and Emre Can are partnered, the central midfielder is Henderson, the wings are Zhang Yuan and Coutinho, and the single striker is Firmino.

Stoke City are also 4231, goalkeeper: Butland, defender: Glenn Johnson, Cameron Muniezza, Pietels, Whalen and Van Ginkel at the back, Walters Charlie Adam and Afele in front of them, and Diouf up front.

Two of Stoke City's veterans are Liverpool, Glen Johnson just signed Stoke City on a free transfer this summer, and Charlie Adam, who spent a season at Liverpool at the same time as Jordan Henderson, but he couldn't make it and Liverpool lost £5 million to him.

It is worth noting that in Stoke City's starting line-up today, both players are on free transfer, with Glen Johnson and Afele coming from Barcelona on a free transfer.

This basically explains the situation in Stoke City, do big things with little money!

BET365 IS A CROWDED STADIUM AND IT'S NOT FAR FROM LIVERPOOL, SO EVEN THE AWAY SEATS ARE FULL.

After the start of the game, Stoke City is not conservative, the attitude is more positive, trying to give Liverpool a dismissal, this is normal, many teams in the Premier League are not conservative teams, at least when it should come out, of course, if the opponent completely grasps the initiative, they will naturally shrink.

Liverpool felt a little inadequately prepared, and it was really a little uncomfortable to be beaten by Stoke City in a daze, and it was a bit chaotic in terms of organization, while Stoke City was more simple in terms of play, and there was no way for weak teams to sometimes not pay attention to ball control, they didn't have the ability to do it slowly, which required absolute control of the ball, and the weak team couldn't do it even if they got the ball.

Stoke City is like this, they don't have the ability to make Liverpool's ball control advancement, Charlie Adam's pass can't be said to be bad, but he needs space to pass, which means that the defenders who defend him must be a little away from him in order for him to pass well, and when he is forced, his passing ability is greatly reduced, which is one of the reasons why he can't play in Liverpool in the first place!

In Blackpool, the opponents may be a little looser with him, but in Liverpool it will not be like this, so his years in Liverpool are bad with the team, and Liverpool fans are also quite unimpressed with this Scotsman!

Stoke City created a great chance in the first few minutes, but unfortunately Diouf in front of goal outflanked the ball wide, this Diouf is not the same Diouf who used to play for Liverpool, this Diouf is Mam Diouf, who previously played for Molde in Sweden and was later spotted by Alex Ferguson and came to Manchester United, but he failed to make a name for himself at Manchester United, and went to Hannover 95 before coming to Stoke City last summer.

Last season, he performed very well at Stoke City, scoring 11 goals in 34 league games, which is already quite dazzling for a small club, and it has attracted some attention this summer, but Stoke City is not willing to sell!

10 minutes later, Liverpool finally gradually woke up, grasped the initiative on the field, Kante as in the last game, gradually played his own advantages, according to the exchange between Klopp and Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan is currently playing on the right winger, Coutinho occupies the other side, in order to maximize Zhang Yuan's energy, Zhang Yuan did not undertake any defensive tasks, so Klopp corresponded to Kante to Zhang Yuan's side, which is intended to make full use of Kante's ability to run, to fill the gap behind Liverpool's response to Stoke City's counterattack.

Once he came to his senses, Stoke City's advantage was gone, and he began to be forced to retreat to defense, Liverpool's side was already mentally prepared for such a battle, and Zhang Yuan began to take on more organizational responsibilities at this time.

Charlie Adam was holding his breath in his heart, he was killed by his old club last season, he was naturally unhappy, he was also very positive in this game, seeing Zhang Yuan take the ball more often, he also aimed his eyes at Zhang Yuan, and took fouls several times, and it was the referee who couldn't bear it, and finally showed him a yellow card in the 23rd minute of the first half.

Mark Hughes shook his head below, but he couldn't say anything, it was right to be positive in the face of his old club, it was worth affirming, but he couldn't foul without brains, now this Premier League world is not those years, and the referee's blowing penalty scale is still decreasing, and there is no way to make it continentalized!

Stoke City's defense is quite tightly organized, but it can't stand Liverpool's tricks, in the 29th minute, Liverpool played a clever match in the front, Zhang Yuan took the ball on the right side, and passed straight to Firmino, Firmino's size is not as tall as Zhang Yuan, but this guy's ability to hold the ball with his back is good, and he clings to Munesa.

After Zhang Yuan passed, past Afelai, Firmino had the wit to flick the ball sideways and pass it to Zhang Yuan again, Zhang Yuan raised the offensive rhythm, and rushed directly to the Stoke City penalty area, a fake shot, but the ball was distributed to Klein.

Klein volleyed directly from a small angle before Pitles blocked, and Butland made a serious mistake in the face of this ball, and made a mistake in judgment, and actually missed the ball from under his crotch, so that this script was not too threatening to shoot, and it turned into a goal!

Klein smiled, this is his first goal since joining Liverpool, how unhappy it came so quickly!

Klopp also breathed a sigh of relief, Liverpool's first half was not particularly good, Zhang Yuan and Firmino both got good opportunities, but they were all wasted, this time they finally grasped it, and the next game will be much better, because he knows that no team is willing to lose at home, Stoke City will definitely make all the moves soon.

He was right, many teams in the Premier League are like this, once they fall behind, the reaction is very fast, and they are eager to equalize the score, Mark Hughes can't sit still, and soon asks the team to move forward with a big wave of his hand.
