1403 Crazy and paradoxical Premier League
Speaking at a press conference after the first match of the Champions League group stage, Koeman paid tribute to Borussia Dortmund.
"As you can see, Borussia Dortmund is a young team, they lost to us in their first game back in the Champions League after seven years, but he showed the world their potential, sometimes I am very worried that Liverpool will lose the youthful enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the youth, Dortmund is worth learning from, reminding us that on the football field that is where everything starts, Dortmund has a lot of potential to rise, they inject fresh blood into European football, and they will definitely make the competition more fierce. I'm looking forward to the next fight. ”
Klopp also expressed his admiration for Liverpool.
"Liverpool deserve to be the Champions League champions, two years in a row, in front of Liverpool, Dortmund is like an immature teenager, we made a lot of mistakes in the game, it has nothing to do with the individual players, but the team as a whole, the team's mistakes, we still need to accumulate experience, we need to play more against the European giants, to be honest, it is one thing to succeed in German football, it is another thing to make a difference in Europe.
It was a good game but it was a good game for my players to realise their shortcomings and we as a team need to reflect and learn from the positive help that this game brings. ”
On the night after Liverpool returned to England, Channel 4 exposed the previously hyped drug test scandal.
Former Birmingham City striker Gary O'Connor failed the FA's drug test for smoking ******.
O'Connor, 28, was arrested in Edinburgh four months ago on suspicion of possession of ******.
In October 2009, O'Connor was suspended by the FA for two months after being found to have used ******, but O'Connor claimed that he had suffered a hip injury, and both the FA and the Birmingham club kept it a secret.
Prior to his loan move to Barnsley, the matter was not publicly exposed.
O'Connor moved to Barnsley from Birmingham City in January 2011 and signed a short-term contract with Barnsley that expired at the end of last season. However, after scoring just one goal in 13 games for the team, the two sides agreed to end the contract in April.
Barnsley general manager Dan Rollin complained that Birmingham didn't reveal the true details of O'Connor's absence at the time: "We wouldn't have signed him if we had known about it, but we didn't know. No one told us all this. ”
This summer, O'Connor returned to his hometown club, his former club Hibernian, to sign a one-year contract with the team.
The show said there was enough evidence to show that since 2003, there have been 21 ****** drug tests positive, including goalscorer Elvis Hammond, who was suspended for six months for failing a drug test during his time at Fulham.
In 2006, West Ham eliminated Middlesbrough in the FA Cup semi-finals, and Sean Newton was suspended for seven months after failing a drug test.
It is reported that three former England internationals also tested positive for drugs in September 2007 and were suspected of taking steroids, including a striker.
While the show claims to know the player's identity, his name cannot be revealed for legal reasons for the time being.
The FA has been questioned about not releasing the names of players who have tested positive for drugs, allegedly condoning these addicts, but the FA has firmly denied this.
"The FA fully supports the anti-doping programme and the reason why we are not releasing the names of these players who have failed the drug test is because it is a matter of player privacy."
In an interview the following day, the FA's spokesperson used the law as an excuse to shirk all responsibility.
It was a storm that had already settled, but because the FA did not release the list of players who failed other drug tests, this still gave the outside world room to think.
Before the weekend league play, Qin Xiong was surrounded by reporters as he drove away from Melwood's training base.
In the face of reporters, Qin Xiong was asked whether he was suspected of doping.
Qin Xiong sneered at them impatiently and said: "The **** "Sun" said that the drug test was not passed by a top star, sorry, I don't know which top star was announced, and the "Sun" said that dozens of stars were on the list, and then what?" Who the hell is there? Can you please stop bothering me? It's really a farce that makes people laugh off their big teeth! If I doped, a hundred goals in a season would be less! ”
The reporters on Fleet Street are also trying to trap Qin Xiong's words, even if Qin Xiong is a little flustered, they can speculate that he is a thief.
However, Qin Xiong's righteous attitude made them feel helpless.
can only write something in the news: Qin Xiong proudly said that if he takes doping, he can score 100 goals in the season!
The fifth round of the Premier League arrived as scheduled at the weekend.
There is a phenomenon in the Premier League in the new season that makes fans enthusiastic: big scores are frequent!
In the first four rounds, except for two 4:0 games in the first round, the next three rounds, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Manchester City, were able to create a slaughter score of at least 5 goals or more.
By the fifth round, the crazy momentum showed no signs of stopping.
The first game to start is Blackburn Rovers hosting Arsenal!
After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Arsenal lost 3:4 to Violent Ben!
Although Gervinho and Mikel Arteta scored their first goals for Arsenal respectively, it was own-goals from Alexander Song and Koscielny that took the game in a strange direction.
Arsenal eventually lost the game after leading their opponents twice.
Only four points were picked up from the first five rounds, and the last time such a bleak scene happened was 29 years ago!
An even more paradoxical match took place at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils take on the Blues Chelsea in this round.
Smalling scored his first Premier League goal for the Red Devils, and a replay of the goal showed Smalling was offside.
Nani's goal extended United's lead, but replays showed Nani picked up the ball in an offside position, but it was still offside.
Only Rooney's goal before the end of the first half was no problem, but the score had become 3:0.
Chelsea have nowhere to get revenge!
Fernando Torres scored his first goal in nearly 10 Premier League games in the second half to pull Chelsea back.
In the 57th minute of the game, Manchester United won a penalty, and Rooney kicked the ball away
In the 83rd minute, Ramirez made a direct pass, and Torres shook De Gea and shot at a wide angle to the empty goal!
In the 91st minute, Rooney, who successfully countered offside, burst into the left side of the penalty area to face a selfless cross, and Berbatov's shot was cleared by Ashley Cole's tackle in front of the goal line!
A paradoxical game came to an end.
The Red Devils beat Chelsea 3-1 at home!
Boas estimated that his chest and abdomen turned upside down, and he just endured a mouthful of old blood in his stomach. (To be continued.) )
