After successive defeats to Sunderland and Lyon, Liverpool's morale began to drop significantly.

Anxiety began to spread within the team, and everyone was also afraid of the fact that without Qin Xiong, we wouldn't be able to play?

Of course, this is not the case, it's not that I can't kick anymore, but it's also an indisputable fact that the combat effectiveness has obviously declined.

Koeman worked closely with the coaching staff in the boot room to develop a tactical plan with Manchester United.

On October 24, Liverpool and Manchester United will start as scheduled.

Anfield was packed to the brim and a thrilling game kicked off with a thrilling affair.

Qin Xiong sat in the stands and watched the game, perhaps at this moment Ferguson was glad that he lost Cristiano Ronaldo, but when Liverpool faced Manchester United, Qin Xiong could not play.

Liverpool, who have regrouped after two consecutive defeats, have repeatedly attacked Manchester United's defence with rapid fast attacks, while Manchester United have relied on veterans to take on Liverpool.

Unexpectedly, the Red Army Liverpool, which lacked Qin Xiong and a major general in the back line, did not show a decline at home, but broke out with strong combat effectiveness.

This should have something to do with Liverpool's long-standing hostile hatred with Manchester United, and games like those famous derbies in Europe, where there are too many factors to influence the game, too many things beyond the meaning of the game, and when these elements are mixed in with the fighting power of the players, the game becomes full of uncertainties.

Goals from Fernando Torres and Kuyt gave Liverpool hope of a win over Manchester United, but goals from Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov ultimately failed to secure the Reds a third point at home.

2:2

The Double Red Party ended with a handshake.

Koeman shook hands with Ferguson with regret.

He firmly believes that if he can win Manchester United, the improvement of morale will allow Liverpool to further recover in terms of combat effectiveness.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

In the same round, a disgraced Chelsea swept past Blackburn Rovers 5-0 to cut the gap on Liverpool to four points.

Arsenal also suffered a draw in the London derby, held to a 2-2 draw by the Hammers West Ham United, and the gap to Liverpool is still three points.

And so it goes. Despite two league games without a win, Liverpool is still at the top of the standings with a record of 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the first 10 rounds of the new season.

The thinness of the squad has made Liverpool look stretched thin when affected by injuries, and the pressure of playing on two fronts has left Koeman anxious.

In the last Premier League game at the end of October, Liverpool will be away to Lyon in the middle of next week, and Coman hid some of the main players, and then. Liverpool suffered their second Premier League defeat against Fulham, and the loss was somewhat ugly.

3:1

Liverpool handed over a poor record of 2 losses and 1 draw in the three league games after Qin Xiong's injury.

But there are other factors that are influencing the results.

In the same league game, Arsenal beat Tottenham 3-0 in the north London derby to tie Liverpool on points.

Chelsea's 4-0 win at Bolton Wanderers saw nine goals in two league games, and Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea appeared to have activated their nuclear weapons to sweep England, with the win narrowing the gap between Chelsea and Liverpool to one point.

Red Devils Manchester United beat Blackburn Rovers 2-0 at Old Trafford!

At the end of the game, the stands at Old Trafford were like boiling water. Red Devils fans cheered as they celebrated the start of the new season as the defending champions finally reached the top of the table.

They beat their arch-rivals Liverpool by 1 point!

The pressure on Koeman was enormous, with both Fleet Street and Liverpool's local newspaper The Echo firing at him, while further highlighting the impact of Qin Xiong's absence on Liverpool.

"Admit it! Liverpool, without Qin Xiong, seems to have the strength to win the championship, but in fact it will only be a big disappointment! ”

"If you're betting on Liverpool to win the Premier League title this season, bet on a healthy Qin Xiong. And not Koeman! The latter has proven that the light of his success is to share the glory of Qin Xiong. Confusing the line of sight and giving the outside world an illusion! ”

"Liverpool needs Qin Xiong!"

Countless Liverpool fans counted the days with their fingers and waited for Qin Xiong's return, and even many fans would go to his home to pull up banners with words wishing him to recover as soon as possible.

On November 4, Liverpool, whose recent record has declined significantly and is demoralized, visited Lyon, the Ligue 1 champion.

There is no room for loss in this game, at least not in the past.

The whole Liverpool dressing room knows this. Qin Xiong went with the team, and he entered the substitute list for the game.

But in reality, he is unlikely to play, and Coman would rather sacrifice a substitute to let Qin Xiong appear in the locker room.

Although Qin Xiong has not been with Liverpool for a long time, he is not only the improvement of the team's combat effectiveness due to his personal skills, but also two months before his injury. The fighting spirit he showed in training and in the games was enough to infect the whole team.

The arrogant Lyon were unable to win at home to Liverpool, and if it weren't for a mistake at the back, Koeman would have taken the win.

The final score was 1:1.

Liverpool drew their fourth Champions League group game.

In the other game in the same group, Fiorentina beat Di Besseni 5-2 at home.

Although there is no change in the group's standings, the difference in points has made Liverpool's situation very different from two rounds ago, when they were at the top of the group.

Lyon won 4 games, won 3 and drew 1, accumulating 10 points.

Liverpool has 4 games, 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and has accumulated 7 points.

Fiorentina have won 2 and lost 2 of 4 games, and have accumulated 6 points.

Di Bisseini has 4 losses in 4 games, and has 0 points.

Fiorentina, who seemed to have missed the knockout round two rounds ago, is back in the light of qualifying!

Such a result has put Liverpool under great pressure, but fortunately, after returning to England, Carragher's return from injury has given Liverpool some comfort.

However, in the 12th round of the Premier League that followed, Liverpool was forced to draw 2:2 by Birmingham at Anfield.

The expected comeback of Liverpool simply cannot be sustained.

In the same round, Chelsea beat Manchester United 1-0 at Stamford Bridge to beat Liverpool by one point!

Manchester United are level on points with Liverpool.

Arsenal are at the top of the table after beating Wolves 4-1 away!

The BIG4 group seems to have started to take turns in the bank.

Two rounds ago it was Liverpool, the last round was Manchester United, and this round became Arsenal again.

Arsenal 28 points.

Chelsea 27 points.

Liverpool 26 points.

Manchester United 26 points.

The new season of the Premier League has made the outside world addicted, and the BIG4 group has never left any team behind, and the championship situation is confusing.

And Qin Xiong has started ball training at the Melwood training base, and is expected to officially announce his comeback after 2 rounds! (To be continued.) )
