Fortunately, Suarez's goal kept Liverpool from losing at White Hart Lane, and the 1-1 score made the Reds lose face against Tottenham. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, there are some realities that must be accepted, such as Liverpool's final drop from the top of the table.
In the tenth round of the league, Liverpool climbed to the top of the table, sitting in four rounds; But in the fourteenth round of the league, this wonderful start is over.
With eight wins and six draws, Liverpool continue their unbeaten run of the season and have managed to pick up 30 points, but this is not enough for Liverpool to remain at the top of the table.
Liverpool do have things that they do very well, for example, they haven't lost so far, and that's what makes Liverpool great.
It's just that the last few rounds of games have been drawn, and if it weren't for the weak performance of several main rivals, maybe Liverpool would have lost the top spot long ago.
Manchester United defeated the Hammers 1-0 in this round, and Manchester City easily won Wigan 2-0 away; Chelsea were 'strong' to draw at home to Fulham and Arsenal did not win Everton away either.
It doesn't look unacceptable, it's just not that way for Liverpool.
Manchester United won 10, drew 1 and lost 3, they did lose three games, which was not a great start; However, they won much better than Liverpool, so United overtook Liverpool on 31 points after winning this round to move into the top spot.
Not to be outdone, Manchester City's record of nine wins, three draws and two losses has made Manchester City have won the same 30 points as Liverpool, but the Blue Moon, which has a slightly more goal difference, beat Liverpool to take second place in the league standings.
These three teams are tough to do in the standings, and perhaps the top spot in the next round of the table may change hands. Of course, it may also be that the old Manchester United seize the opportunity to consolidate their advantage in the standings, or it may be that Liverpool and Manchester City will make mistakes one after another and lose their competitiveness.
Speaking of losing competitiveness, Chelsea started the season with a lot of vigor, but the Champions League group stage was basically unable to qualify and the manager changed; The troubled Blues have been in troublesome form of late, with seven wins, five draws and two defeats sitting fourth in the table with 26 points, and while not far from the top three, the Blues seem to be replicating last season's league story.
Arsenal is more hard, selling captains, selling cores, relying on some young people who have grown up but have not yet reached the height of their own leadership, so Wenger and his Gunners can only be in eighth place in the standings with five wins, six draws and three losses in the unfavorable opening situation.
Tottenham are almost the same as Arsenal, but they are in a slightly better position than Arsenal for the time being, but basically they have lost their hopes of winning the title.
Not only because of the nearly 10 points gap with the top team, but also because these two teams lack the hard power to compete for the championship, and the realistic situation is to adjust well and strive for a Champions League seat.
A lot of media and fans are discussing that at the beginning of the new season, everyone thought that this season of the Premier League should be a combination of champions. But who would have thought that Arsenal would almost be out of the game early, well, there is not much to make a fuss about.
However, Chelsea's performances during this period have been a bit disappointing, with many fearing they will repeat the mistakes of the past. However, they have not been so lucky this season, and if they do not finish in the top four, they will not be able to automatically secure a Champions League place as the reigning champions.
The situation of the heroes rising together did not appear, and the current situation is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but such a situation still seems to be unreliable and normal.
The normal place is that it's only a third of the way through the league and no one knows what will happen in the next game. Maybe Chelsea and Arsenal will be super explosive, after all, the gap between them and the previous teams is not insurmountable, and these teams also have some strength.
The most likely scenario was last season's Manchester duo, but Liverpool started the season with a strong start to the season, becoming an unexpected spoiler and holding the top spot for a time, threatening the Manchester duo even now.
The Reds' performance was unexpected and reasonable, and who made Liverpool the third runners-up in the league last season, this team still has a certain quality. Coupled with the fact that they are unbeaten in the current regular game, this is also a manifestation of strength.
However, many fans and media believe that Liverpool's role may be sensitive and changeable, and their current record is indeed eye-catching, indicating that Liverpool still have a chance to mix in the title race.
It's just that there is still a certain gap between Liverpool's squad and the Manchester duo, and Liverpool may have that strength to stir up trouble in the standings in a short period of time, but it is difficult to guarantee that this team will not fall behind in the long season.
Now that the top spot has been relinquished, it could be the beginning of Liverpool's return to 'normal'.
Qin Lang naturally knows some of the discussions caused after the draw with Tottenham, many people are concerned about Bale's wonderful free kick in this game, and some people are discussing that Liverpool lost the top position, no matter which one is very hot for Qin Lang.
Bale's free-kick was brilliant, there's no doubt about it; It's just that in this goal, Qin Lang played the role of being played, and he can be happy to have a ghost!
And the team lost the top position, which is of course extremely depressing; Because Qin Lang has always hoped that the team can be competitive in the league, he hopes that the team can achieve heavyweight honors this season.
There is still a chance to regain the top spot, but it is really uncomfortable to be kicked out of the way after tasting the role of being the frontrunner.
The morale of the team must have taken a big hit, which is something that cannot be denied; Who let the Liverpool players taste the top of the table, although there will be some pressure at that time, and they will feel that the position is not secure, but it is the top of the table.
And after the loss, I know to cherish it, but all this is just a sigh.
If the team had been in high form some time ago, if the players had been a little more aggressive, maybe they would still be at the top of the table by now. After all, they were only narrowly knocked off the top spot, and the team's performances in recent times have been very unsatisfactory.
There have been too many draws, and while the team is unbeaten so far this season, so what; The victory is three points, the draw is only one point, there is a two-point gap here, if Swansea can win, Liverpool will still be the league leader!
It's too late to say this, because it's impossible to turn back time.
What needs to be done now is to adjust the mentality, Liverpool have been smooth sailing for the vast majority of the season, and the players have not suffered too many setbacks, if to say setbacks, the sense of loss of being kicked to the top of the table is perhaps the most demoralizing thing for the Reds players.
This is something that really needs to be taken seriously, and maybe the players don't take it for granted that they will be league leaders in the first place. It's just that after four rounds at the top of the list, being ousted from the throne now will definitely be frustrating and frustrating.
In many cases, it will mature and change after reaching a certain height and having a certain experience, and Liverpool has not experienced this at all in the past, so it is difficult to guarantee whether such a thing will have some impact on the players.
Not to mention the players, even the manager has no experience in this area, so naturally it is more important and cautious at this time.
Qin Lang could feel the frustration of his teammates, but he was more relieved that the players didn't seem to have collapsed. It's normal to be unhappy, and some people seem to be a little relieved and careless, but more players are showing their fighting spirit to regain the throne.
This is the best, not retreating because of a setback, will choose to face the difficulties to overcome those difficulties, this is the quality that a team that wants to create a big era should have, this is the confidence of a team that wants to become better.
When he returned home, Qin Lang was silent.
Eat when it's time to eat, rest when it's time to rest, and of course, it's indispensable to tease the fat son, this is Qin Lang's happiest moment.
However, Qin Lang is also repeatedly watching the video of himself losing the ball, which is a bad experience, looking back at the moment when he was humiliated again and again, which really requires strong psychological endurance.
Qin Lang feels that he is not the kind of ostrich who buries his head in the sand, and he has to admit it if he loses the ball, even if it is very unpleasant to watch such a video again and again. However, in order to be able to make such mistakes as little as possible, in order to be able to deal with such a situation next time, then Qin Lang would not treat it as if it did not happen.
Not only is the video of his lost ball constantly being replayed, but some classic curve balls, fallen leaf balls, etc. have also been carefully studied by Qin Lang over and over again. Although he has seen such videos before, he will only have a real pain understanding after losing a ball, and now he is naturally more involved.
The team needs to get better, and Qin Lang hopes that the team can be more combative and competitive; It is certain that Qin Lang also hopes that he can become a better player, he knows that he may not be a perfect goalkeeper, but he hopes that he can become a better goalkeeper possible.
In the face of those deficiencies and those shortcomings that have been exposed, Qin Lang will choose to work hard to overcome them, there is no doubt about this, and he is indeed doing it now! (To be continued.) )
