1020 He's back!
Ahead of the Premier League opener, Liverpool officially announced several good news.
Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Alonso and Carragher have signed four years each.
Although there were no major signings, the new management invested money in the stability of the team's core framework.
At the same time, the sales of new signing Qin Xiong's jerseys were announced again and again that they were sold out, and the club only reached 20 million pounds in revenue from Qin Xiong's shirt sales, as for the share with the shirt manufacturer, and what the net profit was, it is unknown.
Qin Xiong's first game back in the Premier League was to London, and it was north London, and it was the seven sisters he was familiar with.
Fortunately, it is not Arsenal, Arsenal's home stadium has already moved away from the Seven Sisters, and Liverpool will be away to challenge White Hart Lane in the first game of the new Premier League season.
The stadium with its poetic reputation.
In the away dressing room at White Hart Lane, Coman calmly told his players: "The first game is against a good Tottenham side, you may feel the pressure, especially from the outside, they are watching to see what kind of performance we will perform after a summer of major changes, I have no worries about that, you are world-class players, you have a strong heart, you are carrying the Liverpool flag on a new journey, we can do better, the preparation and training in the recent period. I see that you are improving every day, and I believe that you and I are actually in the same mood, we have been fighting hard for a summer, and now we are waiting to do a big job!
But, lads, don't get too excited. To remember. We are still improving. We're nowhere near our limit, but even that was enough for Tottenham to drink.
Well, it's time for the world to see the Reds, go ahead, and don't laugh when Tottenham are scared out of the blue! ”
Koeman's words made the whole team relaxed, and the psychological pressure disappeared a lot.
Gerrard clapped his hands and high-fived his teammates. Everyone walked out of the locker room in high spirits.
White Hart Lane was packed, and when the players from both teams walked onto the pitch, the starters for Tottenham and Liverpool were cheered on by the crowd.
There are a lot of away fans coming to White Hart Lane today, and many Liverpool fans are willing to pay a lot of money to buy tickets from scalpers to support their beloved Reds.
"The 2009-2010 Premier League season kicks off today, with the first round of the Premier League being broadcast live from White Hart Lane, where Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, who are aiming for a top-four finish, will face off against league title winners.
I'm the narrator Martin Taylor, and today I'm partnered with my old friend Andy Gray, and we've got a special guest commentator. Former Arsenal star Paul Merson.
Hi Paul. Can I ask you a question before the game starts? ”
"Martin, I know what you're asking."
"Really? I'm just wondering, who do you think is the player with the most attention in this game? ”
"Look, I knew you were trying to make me uncomfortable, were you? If you want to hear it, I will tell you, there is no doubt that it is the magic dragon from the East, the Chinese who once made irresistible waves in the Premier League, Qin Xiong! He's back! ”
"Hahaha, that's right, he's back! He's back! This phrase has been said as a cliché by countless media outlets, tabloids and tabloids on Fleet Street! However, just such a sentence is enough to show the shock brought by Qin Xiong's transfer to Liverpool! Paul, my second question is, as an Arsenal legend, what do you think of Qin Xiong's move to Liverpool? ”
"I think I should leave the commentary box, your question makes me more uncomfortable than before, and I'm confused, really confused, about Qin Xiong's transfer to Liverpool. I'm sure everyone knows that he had the decision when he left Real Madrid, so why didn't he go back to Arsenal? I always thought that if he wanted to go back to the Premier League, Arsenal would be his best choice, but he chose Liverpool! If he returns to Arsenal, he will be the god of the Emirates Stadium! Oh, God but Wenger! ”
"Paul, I have to say a word for Qin Xiong, he has his own choice, just like when he left Arsenal, please, Arsenal's situation over the years, will it make the superstars willingly recommend themselves to the door? Qin Xiong is already an Arsenal celebrity, whether Arsenal admits it or not, without him, there would be no Arsenal's first Champions League title, nor would there be three years of glory in the Premier League, it's as simple as that. Well, this topic is over, Qin Xiong doesn't owe Arsenal anything, I think he is a good choice to join Liverpool, at least in a few years, he may become Liverpool's famous again, hahaha. ”
Andy Gray's words drew a tacit laugh from the trio.
Martin Taylor got back to business: "I don't know if Qin Xiong can adapt to the rhythm and environment of the Premier League after three years of playing in La Liga. ”
'It's definitely a mediocre question, a strong team is strong in any league and the players are the same. The trend of modern football development has broken down too many traditional barriers in the past, and Qin Xiong himself is a star who has gone out of the Premier League, and there is no problem of adaptation after he returns, that's for sure. ”
"Well, then we'll wait and see if the Chinese magic dragons, who once made a bloody storm in the Premier League, will become the nightmare of the Premier League leaders again.
Tottenham had an inglorious league record last season, with their worst start to the season in their history, with Redknapp Sr. turning the tide and helping them finish eighth, but they have been dealt a huge blow in the transfer market this summer.
With just three players brought in, Crouch strengthened the attack, Walker brought in and then loaned out, Norton stayed on as a full-back substitute, and Tottenham's quality hasn't changed much from last season.
Compared with the improvement of Liverpool's strength after the introduction of Qin Xiong and Johnson, Tottenham may be widening the gap with the top four teams, but who knows? Redknapp can help Tottenham out of the quagmire in two weeks, and maybe give him a season to surprise Tottenham fans.
Now let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.
Tottenham started 4231.
Goalkeeper: Gomez.
Defenders: Joel Luca, Basson, Ledley King, Héctor.
Midfielders: Lennon, Huddlestone, Modric, Palacios, Keane.
Forward: Defoe.
Liverpool started 4231.
Goalkeeper: Reina.
Defenders: Johnson, Carragher, Skrtel, Aurelio.
Midfielders: Kuyt, Mascherano, Gerrard, Alonso, Qin Xiong.
Forward: Fernando Torres.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool match starts soon, so stay tuned! (To be continued.) )
