Chapter 407: Visiting Eindhoven

In the fifth round of the Premier League, Liverpool defeated Manchester United 3:1 away, completing the first five consecutive Premier League victories.

In other games played at the same time in this round, Manchester City defeated Crystal Palace 1-0 away, and also completed the opening five consecutive victories.

Arsenal beat Stoke City at home, Tottenham beat Sunderland away, and Leicester City beat Aston Villa. These are relatively normal results.

But Chelsea lost again. They lost to Everton 1:3 in the away game. At the same time, Everton's Scottish striker Naismith scored a hat-trick on the head.

Speaking of which, Jackie Chan and Naismith still have some connections.

When he was in the Scottish Premier League, Naismith played for the Glasgow Rangers, and the two competed together in the Scottish Premiership scorer list.

But later the Rangers went bankrupt due to financial problems, and Naismith moved to Everton in the Premier League to play as a substitute. Unexpectedly, he still scored a hat-trick against Chelsea.

Such a hat trick is definitely the pinnacle performance of his career for a player of Naismith's level.

At present, in the standings after 5 rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool and Manchester City have five consecutive victories and 15 points. The next Leicester City also has 3 wins and 2 draws to remain unbeaten, and then the familiar Arsenal is fourth.

After Manchester United lost the red derby, the league ranking has dropped to eighth.

Tottenham are ranked twelfth. As for Chelsea, they are already ranked seventeenth, which is just one place above the relegation zone.

The current state of Chelsea is really bad. They have the strongest lineup in the Premier League, but there are constant internal conflicts. Mourinho has almost lost control of the team, so they lose again and again in the league.

Only 1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses and 4 points in 5 rounds of the league. This is Chelsea's worst start since 1988.

To make matters worse, Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois was seriously injured again, with a torn meniscus in his knee and is about to have a long-term truce.

In short, the current Chelsea really has a precarious feeling.

After the away loss to Everton, Toffee fans taunted Mourinho, saying that he should have dismissed get out of class long ago.

After winning the Double Red Club, the UEFA Champions League group stage in the next season will come again.

On September 15th, the Liverpool team came to Eindhoven, an industrial city in the south of the Netherlands, where they will challenge Eindhoven, one of the top three teams in the Eredivisie.

Eindhoven's real name should be Philips Sports Union, but people still call them Eindhoven for a long time.

It's like the Netherlands should be called the Netherlands, but people still call them Holland for a long time.

At the Philips Stadium in Eindhoven, Liverpool's new season's Champions League opener did not play well.

Henderson was injured in the opening 20 minutes, and then Liverpool conceded the ball before the end of the first half and returned to the dressing room trailing 0-1.

Leading the Champions League defending champion at home, the PSV fans at the scene were very happy, just like Chinese New Year.

With the current overall strength of Eredivisie and Eindhoven, they are indeed worthy of being happy to be able to lead the defending champions of the Champions League at home.

In the second half, Liverpool began to exert its strength. Lee Chenglong and Firmino each scored a goal to help the team temporarily reverse the score.

But before the end of the game, Liverpool's defense made a mistake again, allowing the opponent to seize the opportunity to complete the tie.

In this way, Liverpool drew 2:2 with Eindhoven in the away game and failed to win the Champions League debut of the new season.

But in general, it is acceptable to score one point away.

Liverpool's main goal this season is the Premier League championship. In the Champions League, as long as they can reach the knockout rounds, that is acceptable.

As the defending champion of the Champions League, Liverpool failed to win their new season's Champions League opener, which is considered a small upset.

However, Liverpool is not alone. They also failed to win the Champions League final against Liverpool in Barcelona last season. They drew 1:1 with Rome away in Italy.

In the first round of the Champions League group stage, the four teams in the Premier League were not ideal as a whole.

Needless to say, Liverpool drew away.

Manchester City lost 1:2 to Juventus at home, and it was as weak as ever in the Champions League.

In addition, Arsenal lost 1:2 away to Dinamo Zagreb, which is the biggest upset.

Arsenal actually lost to a team in the Croatian League, the kind that can only be a belly in the Champions League for a long time, which is really surprising.

Speaking of which, in this week's Champions League match, Chelsea stepped up to save some face for the Premier League. They beat the Israeli team Maccabi Tel Aviv 4-0 at home. They were the only one among the four Premier League teams to win three points.

Due to Chelsea's dismal performance in the Premier League, fans have dubbed it the weakest blue team in history.

But this is the weakest blue team in history, the only team to win the first round of the Champions League group stage.

In the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Ronaldo was the best in terms of personal performance.

He scored a hat-trick in Real Madrid's 4-0 home win over Shakhtar Donetsk.

However, Ronaldo's outstanding performance does not threaten Li Chenglong for the time being. After all, his overall performance last season was too poor.

If Messi had a hat-trick, Jackie Chan might still be a little worried.

After returning to England after the UEFA Champions League, Liverpool has to prepare for the Premier League, which is the team's most important game.

On September 19th, in the sixth round of the Premier League, Liverpool played Canary Norwich at home, and they are also one of the newly promoted Premier League teams this season.

Although the Champions League game did not go well, Liverpool still played very well in the league.

Basically without much effort, Liverpool won the game.

Emre Can and Coutinho each scored in the first half as Liverpool won a clean 2-0 home win over Norwich City, while also extending their opening win streak to six games.

In the Premier League, those who can start with six consecutive victories are already ranked high.

Newcastle in the 94/95 season, Chelsea in the 05/06 and 09/10 seasons, these are the only three Premier League teams that have won six consecutive victories at the beginning.

Chelsea managed to win the league title on both occasions, but Newcastle did not.

Not only did they fail to win the league championship, but after Newcastle's winning streak was ended that season, the team's morale was hit hard, and their performance also followed a big decline. At the end of the season, Newcastle only ranked sixth in the Premier League.

And coincidentally, after Newcastle's six-game winning streak at the beginning of the year, the seventh round was a winning streak that ended with a 1:1 draw at home by Liverpool.

In addition, Chelsea's two opening six-game winning streak, in the 05/06 season, Mourinho has expanded the winning streak to nine games, which is the longest winning streak at the beginning of the Premier League, but in the 09/10 season , Chelsea led by Ancelotti also ended their winning streak in the seventh round.

Therefore, two of the previous three six-game winning streaks were ended in the seventh round.

Now that Liverpool have won six consecutive victories at the beginning, many media are discussing whether they will also be terminated in the seventh round.

Liverpool's opponent in the seventh round of the league is Aston Villa.

Although Villa have not fallen badly in recent years, as a veteran team that has won the Champions League, if they play well, they do have a good chance of ending Liverpool's winning streak.
