1252 Assumptions and Reality

After a heart-wrenching battle, Coman attended the post-match press conference in high spirits.

On the spot, he commented on the team's performance.

'It's a tough game at Old Trafford, Manchester United can put a lot of pressure on all opponents, Liverpool is no exception, you can't make mistakes when the tempo is in United's hands, any small mistake can give the Reds a chance to take advantage of, unfortunately we didn't play well today, so we went down twice to Manchester United.

But I'm glad that the mental quality of the players determines that they can burst out with stronger motivation and fighting power in the face of adversity, and Liverpool finally reversed Manchester United by changing the way they attack and the players played at key moments, it was a good game, and it was a game that belonged to Liverpool! ”

Fleet Street reporters were surprised by Liverpool's win over the Red Devils, after all, it was at Old Trafford, and a home defeat between the giants would always be a shocking result.

However, they are clearly more concerned about the key players Torres and Qin Xiong.

For Qin Xiong, the media has nothing to find fault with except praise, after stepping into the peak age, Qin Xiong's ups and downs on the court most of the time depend on the team, if the whole team is sluggish, he can hardly hold up alone.

As long as the team plays normally, Qin Xiong can always shine.

But for Torres, there are more things that interest the media.

"Torres has performed badly in two consecutive rounds of the Premier League, he reacted violently to criticism from the outside world, but he did not show a convincing performance on the field, Sky Sports post-match ratings, Torres's rating in the Liverpool team is the same as Aurelio's, both are the lowest scores, and Raul and Qin Xiong both got the highest points in the game, have you considered replacing Torres with Raul, after all, Torres squandered too many opportunities today."

Koeman knew the media would be holding on to Torres. I was prepared.

'There's always a good and bad time for a player and it's irrational to give a final verdict to a player after just two or three games, Fernando Torres has a lot to offer for Liverpool and he's a real world-class player. Why should we question him? He's got a lot of accolades, he doesn't have to prove anything, he just needs to get back into shape and improve his performance through the game, and then. Everything is normal. As for the other issues, that's nothing to worry about, we don't need to discuss it, if he scores in the next game, what's the point of what we're talking about today? I trust Torres and Liverpool need him. ”

Coman tried his best to defend Torres, because no matter what, Torres is the team's leading scorer, even if Qin Xiong's goal efficiency is higher than Torres', but Qin Xiong is not the center after all.

Of course. Unless Qin Xiong goes to a small team and plays defensive counterattacks for many years, he has enough space and does not need to cover, and he can indeed be a qualified center forward with his personal strength, but unfortunately Liverpool still has to play positional warfare most of the time, Qin Xiong needs to cover, and he needs teammates to help him contain the opponent in the front line.

Therefore, Liverpool cannot lack a role like Torres, and it is unprofessional not to judge who is more important, Torres or Qin Xiong alone.

Otherwise. Everyone in the world knows that Qin Xiong is more important than any player, is it just that he can fight against the opponent's 11 players alone, or Qin Xiong plus 10 amateur players can also be invincible?

Isn't that?

Despite Koeman's strong efforts to defend Torres, there has been a lot of talk about him.

Fleet Street is also building momentum. They are a non-stop character and if all is good for Liverpool, there will be a lack of news for this high-profile team.

Torres was favored by three teams in the summer.

Barcelona, Manchester City, Chelsea.

Because Torres is a Liverpool player, how can a successful team not be poached?

Even Yaya Toure has left Barcelona, who swept Europe the previous season. What deal in European football can't be done?

But just because Torres chose to stay doesn't mean the deal is over.

If Torres had an unpleasant time at Liverpool, the world is so big, there is naturally a place for him.

This has also become the topic of Fleet Street hype.

The Liverpool club is still very confident, believing that this is nothing more than media hype caused by the ups and downs of the player's form.

The fifth round of the Premier League is over.

Chelsea and Liverpool have both won five in a row and are tied at the top of the table with 15 points, although Chelsea sit top of the table on goal difference.

Manchester United have just eight points after losing to Liverpool in this round.

Arsenal drew this round and have 10 points.

Liverpool and Chelsea look to have opened up the gap on their other title rivals.

Leave them behind.

The Carabao Cup is just around the corner in midweek.

Liverpool drew their lower-division rivals Doncaster.

Although Koeman still has set his goals for the league and the Champions League this season, he can't repeat the nightmare of being eliminated from last season's home cup competition without fighting for steamed buns.

That's a bit of a shame indeed.

And now the pressure will be even greater!

Because Liverpool are Premier League champions plus Champions League champions.

Fortunately, there are still preparations for recruiting troops in the summer.

In the away game, Meireles, Tiot, Lucas, Kuyt, Sterling, Insua and other powerful players made their debut.

Even if they can't play the momentum of the main lineup, they can easily win the game from the little Doncaster.

3:1

Liverpool survived the fourth round of the Carabao Cup safely.

This made Koeman lose face.

Even if Liverpool was ridiculed by Fleet Street after the game, Liverpool still didn't pay attention to the local cup competition, Koeman was still able to say with confidence: Lao Tzu won the victory, isn't that enough?

What Koeman didn't expect was the sixth round of the Premier League at the weekend, when Liverpool almost missed the front foot and were shocked at Anfield.

Sunderland the Black Cats came to Anfield with all their heart and soul on the counter-attack, and just to beat Aurelio!

They worked wonders!

The Buckets were able to contain Liverpool's attack in the first 70 minutes and they led Liverpool by two goals on the road.

In the last 20 minutes, I couldn't support it, and I was beaten twice by Liverpool!

Gerard and Qin Xiong became the heroes of the game!

Fernando Torres still failed to score in this game, but did have an assist and it looked like his performance had picked up.

At the end of the game, Koeman's face was gloomy.

He's angry with himself!

The additions and improvements to the squad in the summer have not been successful!

There are a lot of problems that are completely different from what was envisioned, and this will only be known after the start of the new season.

After the game, he asked the club to start the recruitment of the left wing-back immediately!

Just this winter!

Liverpool need a new left wing-back, otherwise, Koeman doesn't want to see Liverpool's left wing-back blown up by the European powers in the Champions League knockout round next spring! (To be continued.) )http://
