Chapter 405: The New Season Begins

On August 8, the opening game of the 2015/16 Premier League season officially started at Old Trafford.

Manchester United played against Tottenham at home, and this opening game can be regarded as very interesting.

In the end, relying on an own goal by the opponent, Manchester United won Tottenham 1-0 at home, and Stevens can be regarded as a good start in the Premier League.

On August 9th, Liverpool also ushered in their new season opener, going away to challenge the Potters Stoke City.

In the final game of last season, Liverpool played a fierce match against Stoke City in the away game. Liverpool was three goals behind and finally tied the opponent 4:4.

Although that game was irrelevant to the two teams, it was still very topical with that kind of result.

Therefore, in this year's opening game, Liverpool met Stoke City again.

This time in the away game, Klopp arranged his adjusted Liverpool lineup.

Goalkeeper: Mignolet

Defenders: Moreno, Skrtel, Gomez, Klein;

Midfielders: Henderson, Firmino, Emre Can;

Forwards: Mane, Lee Jackie, Coutinho.

Such a lineup is still very different from last season.

Gomez is a young kid, just turned 18, and was promoted by Klopp to play the main force.

But in general, if he didn't perform particularly well, he would probably still have to rotate with Lovren.

It is not too much of a surprise that Klein played the main force, because Liverpool did not have a qualified main right back last season, and Emre Can played a guest role for a long time in the second half of the season.

As for the midfielder, Firmino was brought in at a high price, so it is normal to play the main force.

In addition, Fimi was originally a midfielder, and Huo Cun has always been the core of the team's midfielder, so it is normal to switch to Liverpool to play midfielder first.

The trident on the front line is a normal combination, that is, Mane is intended to replace Sterling's position.

Before the start of the game, Lee Sung-yong was very confident in the pre-match interview.

"Our goal for the new season is undoubtedly the Premier League championship."

"In the era of League One, Liverpool won 18 league titles and 4 Champions League titles, but after entering the Premier League era, Liverpool has already won two Champions League titles, while the number of Premier League titles is still zero. It is absolutely unreasonable.”

"So, my goal is to help Liverpool break this absurdity and make everything reasonable."

Although many media know that Liverpool's goal for the new season is the Premier League champion.

But now Li Chenglong came out to speak out in person, which still made them very happy.

They have already written it down in a small book, and when the season is over, if Liverpool fail to win the championship, they will just turn over old accounts and stir up news.

Liverpool played well at Stoke's Britannia Stadium.

Although Klopp has not been able to fully promote his football philosophy to everyone, the basic prototype is still there.

Liverpool's frantic pressing made Stoke City very uncomfortable. In just 16 minutes of the game, Mane intercepted the ball in the frontcourt and assisted Coutinho to complete the goal.

However, because the team's overall coordination was still not in place, Liverpool has been gaining momentum and not scoring. There were even two times when the opponents threatened to counterattack because they pressed too hard.

But fortunately, the final result of the game was good. Liverpool relied on Coutinho's goal and successfully won the game 1:0.

Won the first win of the new season.

In the first round of the Premier League this season, there were two upsets directly.

One is that the defending champion Chelsea failed to score three points in a 2:2 draw with Swansea at home.

The second is Arsenal. They were even worse. They lost 0:2 at home to the Hammers.

The two teams participating in the Community Shield Cup ended up being upset in the first round of the league.

After winning the first round of the Premier League, Liverpool did not have much time to rest.

Klopp has to run in the team quickly and implement his own tactics. Next week, the match day of the European Super Cup will be coming.

The UEFA Super Cup is an annual competition between the champions of the UEFA Champions League and the champions of the UEFA Europa League.

In the past, the Super Cup was scheduled to be held before the draw of the UEFA Champions League group stage. However, in the past two years, in order to promote the influence of the European competition, UEFA began to advance the match date of the Super Cup, and the venue of the match has also changed from before. Monaco, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years, has been changed to European countries, which are basically countries with weak overall football strength.

The European Super Cup in the previous two years was arranged in the Czech Republic and Wales.

This year's UEFA Super Cup will be played in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia.

Last season, Jackie Lee won the UEFA Champions League in Schalke 04, so he has the opportunity to participate in the UEFA Super Cup.

But because he moved to Liverpool, he missed that opportunity.

So this year, it will be the first time in Jackie Chan's career to participate in the European Super Cup.

Although the gold content of the European Super Cup is not high, it is still very good to win the championship. It can add another type of trophy to your honor.

In addition, Jackie Chan wants to compete for this year's Ballon d'Or, so he needs to win as many championships as possible and score as many goals as possible.

You must know that Li Chenglong has the title of the king of the finals. If he loses the title of the king of the finals at this time, it will definitely have a big impact.

However, Liverpool's opponent in the final is not easy to deal with, Sevilla, the king of the Europa League.

Before the rise of Sevilla, the teams with the most championships in the Europa League were Liverpool, Juventus and Inter Milan. These three teams have won the Europa League three times in team history.

But in recent years, with the rise of Sevilla, they have won the Europa League for two consecutive seasons in the 05/06 and 06/07 seasons, and then completed two consecutive seasons in the 13/14 and 14/15 seasons. With a total record of winning the Europa League four times, it became the team with the most championships in the Europa League and was named the king of the Europa League.

And Sevilla's strength is indeed not weak. In the UEFA Super Cup in 2006, they beat the Champions League champion Barcelona 3-0. Then in last year's UEFA Super Cup, Sevilla defeated the new UEFA Champions League champion. Schalke 04.

Now this time, Liverpool dare not say that they will be able to win the opponent steadily.

At the same time, this is also an opportunity for Jackie Lee to avenge his old club.

After all, Sevilla stepped on Schalke 04 to win the UEFA Super Cup last season.

On August 10th, the Liverpool team set off from England to Georgia in Eastern Europe.

Liverpool fans once again sent off the team at the airport, looking forward to another championship trophy on the club's championship wall.

At the same time, this is the first time in ten years that Liverpool will participate in the European Super Cup again.
