92 This is Anfield (Reward!) )
The final Premier League weekend of September kicks off at Old Trafford at 12.30pm on Saturday as the Red Devils take on defending champions Leicester City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
If the midweek Carabao Cup win away to League One side Northampton was not convincing, Jose Mourinho's Red Devils looked to be on the back of a resurgence after an incredible 4-1 win at home to Premier League champions who drew twice last season.
The post-match stats confirmed that United had the upper hand in terms of shots, possession and pass success rates, and interestingly, it was a big win when captain Wayne Rooney sat on the bench and came on in the 83rd minute, which is undoubtedly intriguing.
It is worth mentioning that Paul Pogba, the most expensive player in the transfer market, finally broke his fast and scored his debut back to Manchester United from a corner, and the French talent, who has been questioned and criticized recently, can finally have a pleasant weekend.
Juan Mata's departure in the 87th minute was applauded by the crowd, he ran more than 11 kilometres today, the team topped, and with one shot and one pass in this game, the Spanish little man is undoubtedly United's biggest discovery this season.
Niu Shuai, who watched the game on the bus, smiled at Mike Ferran next to him: "Look, I said a long time ago that Leicester City was able to win the championship last season, except for luck, it was the big team that took a nap, they are simply paper old, oh no, paper foxes." It's normal that we can win the first round. ”
Phelan smiled awkwardly, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
Leicester City's league rankings have repeatedly slipped after the defeat, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that if this season's Premier League champions can't move up to the top eight by February next year, the Foxes will become the saddest Premier League champions ever.
Darko Milovic said: "Boss, Liverpool is not easy to play this season, Anfield is the scariest home stadium in the Premier League, the atmosphere, the psychology is not good, it is difficult to play to the full potential. ”
Niu Shuai pursed his lips and said, "Which of the players I brought in hasn't played there a few times?" Adapting to the atmosphere of the pitch is not a problem at all. ”
After a pause, rubbing his chin, Niu Shuai's eyes narrowed slightly: "Jurgen's team has been undefeated in 5 games, and recently it has won 3 consecutive games, the winning opponent is not weak, and there are many goals, this one is not very easy to play." ”
The key is that most of Hull City are newcomers, and the tactical run-in period is much longer than that of many opponents, and it is good to say that it is good to play in the middle and lower reaches of the team, and it is not a problem to rely on the personal strength of the midfield, but against strong teams, especially giants like Arsenal with little personnel turnover and stable lineup, the tiger who is still in the run-in period naturally can't swallow the opponent.
From the inception of League One in 1889 to the inception of the Premier League in 1992, there have been 24 champions in 127 years, with the Red Devils beating England with 20 top-flight titles thanks to the glory of the Busby and Ferguson eras.
Although they have not won the Premier League since its inception, Liverpool still rely on their strong history to secure the second place with 18 top-flight titles.
In third place is Arsenal, which has won the championship 13 times, followed by Everton, who won 9 titles in the old League One era and is now mixed in the middle of the Premier League all year round.
Further down, there are the old teams Aston Villa, the black cats Sunderland, who were relegated last season, and then the "new" giants Chelsea.
Manchester City, Sheffield Wednesday and Magpies Newcastle are tied for four times, and the next champions, except for Tottenham Hotspur, Burnley, West Bromwich Albion and new champions Leicester City, are all perennial Championship, League One and even League Two declining aristocrats.
This is Anfield, and whenever it's Liverpool's home game, no matter what the game, Reds fans will be singing Liverpool's classic anthem "You'll never go it alone".
With a capacity of more than 54,000 spectators, Anfield is a UEFA four-star stadium and also hosts a number of international events.
Anfield Stadium was one of the venues where England hosted the European Championship in 1996, with a total of four matches taking place here.
When it comes to Anfield Stadium, we have to talk about KOP stands, although there are many stadiums in England whose stands are also named after KOP, but Liverpool is undoubtedly the most famous.
The KOP Stand is home to Liverpool's most loyal fans, accommodating more than 12,000 Liverpool diehards, and when the game is full of bright red, deafening cheers and "you'll never go alone" can put huge pressure on the visiting team, making Anfield one of Europe's most famous devil's home stadiums.
Although as an old giant in England, it is also the Premier League giants with the most Champions League titles, but the Premier League has not won a championship since its establishment is a pain in the hearts of Liverpool fans, watching the bitter rival Manchester United lead Alex Ferguson to lead the next step to pull their beloved team from the top flight championship in England The most times, even though there are Champions League trophies as a shield, but the proud Reds' biggest wish is to win a Premier League title.
01-02, 08-09, 13-14, these three seasons, Liverpool is one step away from the Premier League title, one of the few three runners-up, and finally fell short.
The most regrettable thing is that in the 13-14 season, Brendan Rodgers almost became a hero of the Reds, that season Liverpool's attacking power was terrifying, and the number of goals scored in the Premier League era was second only to the champion Manchester City (102 goals) and Chelsea (103 goals) in the 09-10 season.
But 50 goals conceded, no matter how you look at it, don't look like the number of goals conceded by a champion team, and the lack of defensive and follow-up at the end of the season ended up in second place by two points.
Although the number of goals conceded does not mean that they will win the championship, but throughout the 24 years of the Premier League, the most goals conceded by any champion is Manchester United in the 99-00 season, and at the turn of the century, Manchester United conceded 45 goals.
Although Liverpool are in good form this season, Liverpool is currently conceding the most goals in the top eight of the league standings, conceding 8 goals in 5 rounds, Jurgen Klopp's style of play is wide open, and it looks lively, but if you don't work defense, the Premier League title is still far from Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp waited for the players from both sides to come out at the exit of the tunnel below the main stands, and he was looking forward to meeting the bull boss.
Because of Hull City's starting line-up for this game, Klopp said it was very interesting.
"This is Anfield, it's going to be me to win this game!" Klopp thought confidently.
