On September 12, Qin Xiong left home with his travel bag neatly dressed, and he took a car to the Melwood training base to prepare to travel to Germany with the team today, and Liverpool will challenge Dortmund away from home in the first game of the Champions League group stage.

When he drove to Melwood Training Base, he was surrounded by a large number of reporters.

He lowered the window of his car to let the reporters get out of the way, but the reporters kept taking pictures and asking questions.

"Do you want to respond to the news that you may be one of the top star suspects who have been doping?"

"You've been in really good shape all these years, is it related to doping?"

Qin Xiong laughed angrily.

He smiled at the reporters outside the window and said, "Are you serious about the news of The Sun? I don't believe it anyway, don't stand in my way here, I'm really full and have nothing to do. ”

The security guards at the Melwood training base came out to maintain order and let Qin Xiong's car drive into the training base.

In fact, in addition to the revelation that a Premier League player had tested positive for urine, the Sun also revealed other news.

According to The Sun, the player completed a transfer between Premier League clubs this summer for a multimillion-pound fee, but his new club has not revealed the results of his latest drug test and the star's name will be revealed on a Channel 4 show on Thursday night.

According to the staff of the program team, in fact, not only the top star of the Premier League, but dozens of footballers were found to have problems in drug tests for ****** and marijuana, but the FA and the clubs of these players have blocked the news and do not want their names to be exposed.

Shown in an investigative document. Three former England internationals and one former Scotland international were found to have doping in their urine during a drug test. And all four were condemned and punished in the end.

It is precisely because of the content of the information disclosed that the suspect has expanded to the scope of suspicion at will. Qin Xiong will naturally be affected.

The first is that he is a foreigner, and the second is that he is the focus of news in the British media.

If something happens to him, maybe the news will become the top three news in the world on that day!

From another point of view, in fact, many people hope that something will happen to Qin Xiong!

But Qin Xiong had a clear conscience, so he didn't bother to pay attention to the suspicions of the outside world.

After he arrived at Melwood Training Base, Freddy's phone called.

"Need to be tough in front of the media?"

"No, they won't be stupid enough to accuse me by name, they will only insinuate. Avoiding legal responsibility, they are all old foxes, they will not make low-level mistakes, and the hype of this incident is brought to me, which of course helps their newspaper sales, regardless of them, it will always rain and shine. ”

"Okay, then you don't have to think about it and concentrate on your work."

"Of course, I'm looking forward to tomorrow night's game."

"Huh. Why? ”

"Because the opponent is Dortmund."

"Well, good luck. I'll cheer you on in front of the TV tomorrow. ”

"Thank you and good luck."

Qin Xiong ignored the doping scandal, and he embarked on a journey to Germany with the team.

Dortmund, who revived in Germany, returned to the top of the Bundesliga after nine years last season, overturning Bayern Munich's dominance, and Jurgen Klopp's Dortmund youth army has caused a storm of youth in European football.

Therefore, the outside world is also looking forward to Dortmund's performance in European competition.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference the day before the game, Jurgen Klopp humbly said: "Liverpool are one of the strongest teams in European football, Borussia Dortmund are still young, we need to regain our Champions League experience to make even more progress, and playing against Liverpool is a good learning opportunity and we will try to get out of the group stage." ”

Koeman's assessment of Dortmund was nothing but appreciation.

'It's very rare to be successful with young players and I know that, Klopp's success is respectful and we're going to have a good game at Wester.'

On September 14, the defending champion Liverpool's Champions League journey in the new season officially began, and the first game visited the West**** Stadium.

Before the game, Koeman and Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp had a good conversation on the sidelines.

After the players of the two teams walked into the stadium, the magnificent cheers from the Dortmund fans at the West**** Stadium really surprised the Liverpool players.

It's like walking into another Anfield.

But the cheering is for their opponents, and the pressure will go to the side of the Reds.

"Welcome to the West**** Stadium, the group stage of the new European Champions Cup officially starts today!

Defending champions Liverpool were placed in the same group as Marseille, Borussia Dortmund and Olympiacos, and on matchday one, Borussia Dortmund played Liverpool at home.

Borussia Dortmund's signing was a bad one, as they met Liverpool in the group stage, which in the eyes of the vast majority meant that Liverpool would have secured a place in the qualiding places.

The remaining spot will be drawn from the other three teams.

But the game still gave the outside world plenty of antiquity.

People want to see how Jurgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund will perform in the Champions League.

They upended Bayern Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga, but with the return to the Champions League after seven years, and with no Champions League experience in the current squad, it is unclear whether Dortmund will be able to perform satisfactorily in this more intense and difficult field.

Liverpool are strong and strong, winning the Champions League for the second year in a row, and although captain Steven Gerrard is unable to play due to injury today, Liverpool are still overwhelmingly favoured.

Let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.

Borussia Dortmund started 4231.

Goalkeeper: Weidenfeller.

Defenders: Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels, Schmeltzer.

Midfielders: Gotze, Kyle, Shinji Kagawa, Bender, Grosskreuz.

Forward: Robert Lewandowski.

Liverpool started 4312.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Johnson, Skrtel, Thiago Silva, Baines.

Midfielders: Mascherano, Alonso, Qin Xiong, Lucas.

Forwards: Suarez, Raul.

Liverpool's biggest change today was to drop Qin Xiong's position, with Suarez and Raul in the front line, let's see if Koeman's change will make us shine. ”

Although Liverpool's starting lineup is Qin Xiong playing as a striker, in fact, Liverpool still plays three forwards.

It's just that Qin Xiong was ambushed behind the two strikers.

It was another attempt by Koeman, who, after being held to a draw by Stoke City, found that Qin Xiong was prone to chances at the front of the line and in dense defensive areas.

He then retreated Qin Xiong's position.

Let's see how it turns out in the Champions League today. (To be continued.) )
