Atletico Madrid emerged as the best supporting actor in the UEFA Super Cup, while Liverpool played a heart-pounding game in the tepid but continued strong and steady run of the new season.

After the UEFA Super Cup award, the Liverpool squad was disbanded in Monaco and the players had to report to the national team.

Four and a half months later, the 2011 Asian Cup will start, in last year, Qin Xiong did not participate in the Asian Cup qualifiers, and the strength of the Chinese team is still enough to enter the Asian Cup, even without Qin Xiong.

The current FIFA match day will be a warm-up, Qin Xiong communicated with the new national team coach Gao Hongbo, who will not return to China before the Asian Cup, after all, he also has a heavy task in Europe, especially if he has to ask the club to take a leave of absence to play in the Asian Cup in January next year.

Qin Xiong stayed in Liverpool to recuperate.

When the FIFA matchday is over, the fourth round of the Premier League kicks off.

Manchester United, who started to play, suffered a stoppage-time nightmare at Goodison Park!

In stoppage time, United were 3-1 up at Everton.

But in the 91st minute, Baines crossed from the left and Cahill headed home from eight yards between O'Shea and Evans.

In the 92nd minute, Baines crossed from the left, Cahill headed back and Arteta fired a powerful shot from 15 yards into Scholes' deflected into the net.

3:3！

In this way, Everton was not satisfied, and after the game, Everton manager David Moyes rushed onto the pitch to express his dissatisfaction with referee Atkinson honking his horn to end the game when he attacked on his side!

Ferguson left Merseyside in a rage, and one Liverpool was enough to keep him awake, even Everton!

Chelsea continued their strong start to the new season with a 3-1 win at West Ham United.

Arsenal thrashed Bolton Wanderers 4-1 at the Emirates Stadium and also ushered in a three-game winning streak after the opening game.

Manchester City are still hard to find a win, holding Blackburn Rovers to a 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium.

Tottenham also had a rough fate, drawing 1-1 away at West Bromwich Albion.

So far, the Premier League has only played four rounds this season, and before the Liverpool game has even started, the seven-hero hegemony pattern advertised by Fleet Street has been completely aborted. At best, it is still a situation where the BIG4 is competing for supremacy.

Liverpool travel to Birmingham City.

Birmingham City were a dense defensive strategy in this game, and Liverpool were consistent and constantly created great chances, but the starting centre-forward Torres was not in form. He squandered three chances in quick succession and was replaced by Coman early in the second half.

In the end, Liverpool took away the victory 2:0 with Qin Xiong's long-range shot and Raul's supplementary shot in the penalty area, starting with four consecutive wins!

After four rounds, Liverpool and Chelsea are level on 12 points.

Manchester United are four points behind with eight points.

Arsenal are three points behind on nine points.

The other three are Tottenham. Manchester City, Everton's points are no longer cared about by the championship team.

Although Liverpool started the campaign with four wins in a row, discord and concern persisted.

Liverpool star Jamie Redknapp publicly blasted after the game, saying Torres was a "demon" in the league against Birmingham.

Fernando Torres scored twice in Spain's European qualifiers against Liechtenstein last week, but the golden boy was sleepwalking against Birmingham in the league.

Sky Sports commentator Jamie Redknapp was harsh in his criticism of Torres' performance in the game: "The fans can accept that you concede a goal within certain limits, but they can't accept that you don't give it your all. Torres had 45 minutes today and had a terrible performance. He didn't have the ball, he didn't press, he had frustration on the pitch, he could have been booked, he was demonic. ”

"I'm Torres' most loyal fan, and of course you have to recognise the quality of Birmingham centre-backs Roger Johnson and Dane, but Torres was completely unplayed** on the pitch. He looked sloppy and lazy. I know people talk about his bad form, but he looks like he's tired of playing. When Liverpool achieved the pinnacle of achievement last season. Torres has also achieved the Grand Slam of honor through the national team, the European Championship, the Champions League, the World Cup. League, what else is he missing? That's right, he still lacks the ambition to continue to be strong! What Liverpool need now is a star who can look at the book of honours sensibly! Obviously, Torres didn't show his ambition or action in the match against Birmingham! ”

Koeman was the first to hit back at Redknapp's attack, saying that he should be more tolerant of Torres because of the heavy load on the national team. Coupled with the fact that the summer did not have a good rest, he is convinced that the best of Torres will return soon.

For the time being, Liverpool are not worried about their strikers.

Now it can also be said that the summer brought in Raul was an important recruitment.

Liverpool head to the Champions League in midweek, and before the Champions League group stage kicks off, Fernando Torres made his own comments, saying that Redknapp was jealous of him and that he didn't need to bother with someone who didn't bring much glory to the team during his Reds career.

Torres may have acted rashly, but in the end, the public opinion effect was not good.

Torres should not have made such a counterattack on the criticism of a player who was a decorated player of the decade, even if he was uncomfortable, because it would make fans think that he was proud and that he was using honor to measure loyalty and contribution.

It's too utilitarian, it's too realistic, it's just emotional, and people are more willing to accept non-utilitarian and detached from reality.

Liverpool face Werder Bremen in the first round of the Champions League group stage.

Liverpool won this game relatively easily, winning 3-0 away at Werder Bremen, and Torres scored twice, as if he used his actions to respond to the outside world's rhetoric.

In the other game in the same group, Inter Milan were held to a 2-2 draw away by FC Twente.

Liverpool were able to sit at the top of the table.

After returning to England, the fifth round of the Premier League followed.

Chelsea continue to put on a jaw-dropping strong performance.

At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea saw off promoted horses Blackpool 4-0 to take the lead in winning five consecutive Premier League games.

Arsenal's form slipped and they were held to a 1-1 draw by Black Cats Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

The focus of this round is in the final battle.

Double Red Society!

Liverpool go to Old Trafford to challenge the Red Devils Manchester United!

The England derby is about to take place.

In his pre-match press conference, Ferguson said that if Liverpool still give up the home cup competition this season, then Liverpool will undoubtedly be the strongest in the Premier League title race.

He is putting pressure on Koeman, satirizing Liverpool for taking the home cup too lightly for the sake of the league title, which means flouting the traditions of England! (To be continued.) )
