After playing the match against Roma, the whole Liverpool team rushed back to England overnight. Chen Xi could only say goodbye to Scarlett by text message.

No way, after playing the US Tour, there is only a week left before the start of Liverpool's new season.

Before the start of the Premier League, Liverpool also need to play a Champions League qualifier. Although the opponent is not strong against Slina from Slovakia, the Liverpool team still does not dare to trivialize.

After all, whether or not you can reach the Champions League determines a lot of the club's income.

As soon as Benitez returned home, he began to carefully collect information about the Srina team and began to prepare for the two-legged home and away qualifiers.

Chen Xi and his teammates who returned to Liverpool could clearly feel the enthusiasm of the fans, and every day there was a large number of Reds fans outside the Melwood training base.

The outstanding performance of the Liverpool team against three powerful teams in the American Tour has been watched by Liverpool fans at home, and they have reason to look forward to the performance of the Liverpool team in the new season!

During this time, the most vocal among fans is no longer the twin stars of Owen and Gerrard, but Chen Xi, who performed perfectly in the American training!

Before the start of the season, the most popular in the club's fan goods store was Chen Xi's No. 7 shirt.

Chen Xi also enjoys the support of the fans, and it may be a kind of pressure to be an ordinary player, but for Chen Xi, it is the motivation for him to keep making progress and continue to perform!

Therefore, Chen Xi is also very hard working in training! ――

A week passed quickly, with Benitez training for Champions League qualifiers Slina in the first place.

After the Spanish boss decided that there was no big problem with the game, he began to study the first round of the Premier League of the new season.

I don't know if it's the Premier League to create a gimmick, or because of a coincidence.

Liverpool's opponent in the first round of the new season is actually Chelsea, who have hung up a ruble storm in the transfer market this summer.

Chelsea's expectations for the new season are not to be mentioned, and Liverpool have shown determination in the transfer market this year. signed last season's league and league cup double scorer king for free, and Premier League super newcomer Wang Chen Xi made Liverpool regain the attention of the media and fans all at once!

Arguably, these two teams are seen as the two strongest contenders to challenge Arsenal and Manchester United's monopoly in the Premier League this season.

Such a dialogue between the two teams can naturally attract many eyeballs.

Benitez didn't dare to underestimate this "ruble army" in his heart, although their entire main lineup has almost been changed, there must be a run-in problem, but after all, all the players are famous stars in world football.

Even one flash of them would be enough for Liverpool to drink a pot.

Of course, before that, Benitez still knew that he had to play the first leg of that Champions League qualifying game first.

The first leg of the Liverpool-Srina tie was played at Srina's home turf, with the Liverpool players having to travel long distances to Slovakia.

Since the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, the Czech and Slovak national teams have gone to two extremes in world football.

The Czech Republic is home to a lot of talent, and at one point even ranked second in the FIFA national team rankings.

But Slovakia has sunk with the national team and club teams no longer making waves in European football.

Therefore, in the face of a giant team with a glorious history like Liverpool, most Sriner fans came to their home stadium with a star-chasing attitude.

As for Sriner's players, they want to embarrass the Liverpool team, but their quality is a little different.

Eastern European teams like them don't have enough financial resources to support them, which means they have to buy and sell players to run their clubs. So they can't keep the stars in the team.

No, half of Sriner's main players last season went to the leagues in Western Europe to pan for gold!

Facing such a young team, Liverpool have the absolute initiative in this game.

In the beginning, the Sriner team was able to rely on their tenacious defense to support the game. But in the fourteenth minute, after Chen Xi assisted Gerrard to blast their goal with a long-range shot, the balance of the game was completely tilted in favor of the Liverpool team!

The Sliner team, who were behind at home, had no choice but to step up their attack, but their attacking efforts could not cause much trouble for Liverpool, but instead left more gaps in their backline.

Ten minutes later, Liverpool took advantage of a textbook counter-attack, with Chen Xi receiving a long ball from Alonso and entering the penalty area, extending the score to 2-0.

This goal undoubtedly poured salt in the wounds of the Sriner team, and they began a crazy counterattack!

As a result, before the end of the first half, Owen received Gerrard's through ball and scored a goal after a single knife into the penalty area, which completely pronounced the death sentence of the Sriner team!

After losing 3-0 at half-time at their home stadium, Slinner's second half was arguably all about honour.

Benitez also did not replace the main force in the midfield, in his opinion, since this game has been played by a big score, simply try to make the second leg meaningless early!

Therefore, in the second half, the Liverpool team stepped up their attack.

In the face of Liverpool's mercury attack, the Srina players who were originally inspired by the manager in the midfield dressing room and wanted to win back a little face were quickly reached as scatterers!

After only five minutes of play in the second half, Chen Xi successfully took advantage of a free kick opportunity to score twice, and also extended the score to 4-0.

In the end, the score was 5-0, and Hyypia also scored from a corner.

Liverpool's first game of the new season went surprisingly well.

A 5-0 away game also allows them to put their energy into the league for the time being, after all, it will be difficult for the Sriner team to complete such an incredible comeback at Anfield!

The Liverpool players also have their eyes on their opponents in the first round of the league, Chelsea, who have been in the limelight this summer!

Chen Xi and his team-mates had a simple goal, which was to tell the Chelsea people that money ...... It's not a panacea!
