The FA's decision to match Liverpool and Stoke City as the 2015/2016 Premier League opener was clearly in mind.

In fact, the opening match of the first round of the Premier League in the new season has indeed attracted a lot of media attention, and more precisely, this game has made the media very excited.

Liverpool are the defending champions of the Premier League with 95 points last season, Stoke City finished 9th in the league last season with 54 points, and the Reds have 41 points more than Sky City.

However, in fact, it is quite the opposite.

In the final game of last season's Premier League, the heart-wrenching match between Liverpool and Stoke City is still fresh in the memory of many fans.

The powerful Liverpool fell behind in the first half of the game at one point at one time four in that game, and finally it was Jiang Chenxi who turned the tide at a critical moment, and in 2015, the World Footballer of the Year scored five yuan in the game to help Liverpool win the game 7:5, and he also relied on these five goals to lock his league goals last season at 51 goals, surpassing Messi's record of 50 goals in a single season in the five major leagues, and engraved his name on the honor list of European football.

Liverpool's summer signing has gone well, sending off Balotelli, Bolini, Aspas and Glenn. Johnson and other stars, the introduction of Mane, Firmino, Sane, Klein, Van Dijk and other players, it can be said that the Reds' recruitment is currently the best in the entire Premier League.

In such a situation, it is indeed a lot of attention to take Stoke City, a team that caused them a lot of problems in the final round of last season, as a litmus test for the new season.

On the other hand, Stoke City, although the old goalkeeper Begovic and midfielder Enzongji were sold, but Stoke City spent 12 million pounds from Inter Milan to bring in Swiss international Shaqiri, who has the nickname "Swiss Messi", signed Afele from Barcelona for free, in addition, Liverpool's main right-back last season. Johnson is also free to join, so the strength of 'Sky City' continues unabated.

Speaking of Shaqiri, he is also a representative star produced by Basel, and on Liverpool's side, Jiang Chenxi and Salah, the pair of 'Basel Twins', can be regarded as Shaqiri's younger brothers, and this is also the first time they have faced each other in the game.

Therefore, it is true that this is not a strong dialogue between Liverpool and Stoke City, but there are many topics, which are definitely enough to attract attention.

……

August 8, 2015.

Britannia Course.

When Jiang Chenxi came out, tens of thousands of Stoke City fans in the stadium "welcomed" him with a uniform loud boo.

In the final round of last season's league, Stoke City could have made great history: they slaughtered the new league champions by a big score!

However, Jiang Chenxi's fifth son, Dengke, changed all that.

Of course, this is not the only reason, the home fans also try to put pressure on the most important players of the opposition in this way.

The camera gave a close-up of Liverpool No. 7, and in the boos, Jiang Chenxi's face was expressionless, or more precisely, indifferent.

He has experienced the situation of visiting Barcelona's Camp Nou and Real Madrid's Bernabeu Stadium, and he has experienced the situation of ** thousands of people booing you together, and now this situation is pediatric.

Of course, the fact that these boos did not affect him does not mean that he will be without emotions.

On the sidelines, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp almost burst out laughing when he saw this scene.

He understands Jiang Chenxi, this is a person who is the more you boo him, the more unfriendly he is, and the more he can burst out with huge energy.

What kind of response will Jiang Chenxi make to this approach of Stoke City fans?

……

"Let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides." Duan Xuan's voice came from the TV, "On the side of the away team Stoke City, the goalkeeper is Butland, and the back line is Pieters, Munesa, Cameron and Glenn from left to right. Johnson, this game Johnson will face his old master. ”

'In midfield, the back two are Phelan and Van Ginkkel, up front with Afelai and former Liverpool players Charlie Adam and Shaqiri, and up front with Diouf alone.

"On the Liverpool side, the goalkeeper is Mignolet and the left-back is Alberto. Moreno, right-back is Klein, who moved from Southampton, with Skrtel and Lovren at centre-back, and James Milner and captain Jordan Henderson at the back. He Wei continued, "In the front court, Coutinho, Lallana and Salah are in the front, and Jiang Chenxi is alone. ”

Yes, this game is broadcast live on the domestic CCTV sports channel.

Just 3 days before the opening of the 2015/2016 new season of the Premier League, on August 5, CCTV officially released the blockbuster news that the Premier League, which had been "absent" from CCTV for 12 years, would return.

As the largest media platform in China, CCTV last broadcast the Premier League in the 2002/2003 season, when Chinese players Li Tie and Li Weifeng joined Everton, while Sun Jihai played for Manchester City. After just one season, CCTV suspended its cooperation with the Premier League.

At the same time that CCTV announced the return of the Premier League to CCTV, on August 5, PPTV announced that it had obtained the exclusive all-media copyright of the 2015-2020 La Liga China region, and the signing cost a total of 250 million euros (about 1.685 billion yuan). Industry insiders generally believe that it is precisely because CCTV lost the broadcast rights of La Liga and faced with the situation that only the broadcast rights of the Bundesliga are left, that CCTV has no choice but to take the initiative to extend an olive branch to the Premier League.

And because it has not been able to be broadcast on a national TV-level platform like CCTV for a long time, the Premier League's derivatives and programs in China have been affected. "World Football" has not aired a feature about the Premier League for 12 years. In contrast, the NBA, the best professional league in basketball, already has several ace programs such as "NBA Frontline" and "Basketball Park" on CCTV. In 2008, CCTV earned $400 million in advertising and derivatives revenue through the NBA alone.

In this context, CCTV and Xinying Sports, which owns the copyright of the Premier League, finally "took a big step back", and CCTV got the right to broadcast the Premier League.

Of course, there is one of the most important factors in this, Jiang Chenxi, the first person in Chinese football and the world footballer, plays in Liverpool, and CCTV did not have the right to broadcast the Premier League live last year, which made the resentment of fans who have long been dissatisfied with CCTV reach a peak, and these factors together have promoted CCTV to broadcast the Premier League live again after 12 years.

Although there has been a live broadcast of Premier League games on the trendy Internet before, after all, it is mainly young people who watch the game through the Internet, and more people are still used to watching football games on TV.

Therefore, this time, CCTV was able to broadcast the Premier League live and the game between Jiang Chenxi and Liverpool, which also won the cheers of the majority of fans.

……

Fans can't wait to watch Jiang Chenxi's game, in June, the 2018 Russia World Cup Asian Top 40 has begun, the first opponent of the Chinese team in the group stage is the Bhutan team, this game, Jiang Chenxi did not participate, facing an opponent like Bhutan, there is no need to drive the World Footballer to help.

In the East Asian semi-finals that started in early August, the national team did not recruit Jiang Chenxi, mainly because the East Asian Cup is not a FIFA A-level event, and when the first round of the league is about to start, Liverpool has no obligation to release people, and will not agree to Jiang Chenxi returning to China to participate in such an event.

The national football team defeated North Korea 2-0 in the East Asian Cup, but lost 0-2 to South Korea.

Without Jiang Chenxi's Asian Cup champions, the performance of the Chinese team disappointed the fans, and the depressed fans laughed at themselves and said that they were waiting to watch the Liverpool game and see Jiang Chenxi's outstanding performance to make up for the injured heart.
