Chapter 318 North London debut (Part 1)

The draw for the UEFA Champions League group stage of the season came out. Liverpool, as the third-tier team, was assigned a pretty good group, so there shouldn't be a big problem with qualifying.

In fact, the UEFA Champions League groups this season are quite evenly divided, and basically each group has two strong teams.

Among the other three teams that played in the Premier League, Arsenal were assigned to a group with Dortmund, Galatasaray, and Anderlecht, and it was not a big problem to qualify.

Chelsea is assigned to a group with Schalke 04, Sporting Lisbon, and Maribor, which also has obvious advantages.

Li Chenglong's old club Schalke, as the defending champion of the Champions League, lost a large number of key players during the summer transfer period. Li Chenglong, Kanter and Navas, the entire central axis was hollowed out, and it is definitely hopeless to defend the title.

Fortunately, they still kept Draxler, and now they have been assigned to a relatively simple group. There is no problem in qualifying for the group. It should not be the embarrassing situation that Chelsea, the defending champion, could not qualify for the group.

It is also worth mentioning that in the UEFA Super Cup held in Cardiff, Wales, Schalke, who lost a lot of blood, lost 1:2 in overtime to the Europa League champion Sevilla, and missed the chance to become the No. The two Bundesliga teams that have won the UEFA Super Cup.

Although the Champions League group distribution is quite even, it is inevitable that there will still be a death group.

The only relatively dead group this year is Group E, which are Bayern Munich, Manchester City, CSKA Moscow, and Rome.

Bayern is the defending champion of the Bundesliga, Manchester City is the defending champion of the Premier League, and Rome was the runner-up in Serie A last season. This group is indeed somewhat difficult.

I have to say that Manchester City's team seems to be not easy every year.

Manchester City has participated in the Champions League four times and been assigned to the death group three times since it turned into a local tyrant. Last season was the only time it was not assigned to the death group, but it achieved the highest score of 15 points and was second in the group.

The UEFA Champions League group stage has come out, and the media from various countries are discussing the qualifying situation of their respective teams, potential opponents, etc.

And Jackie Chan's election as the latest European player of the year has also gotten a lot of coverage.

After all, the award for the best player in Europe still has a certain amount of gold.

The English media even reported that Jackie Chan is about to win the Golden Globe.

However, Li Chenglong himself is quite sober, and winning this award does not necessarily mean that he will win the Golden Globe.

Last season, Iniesta was the best player in Europe, but the Ballon d'Or was Messi's.

In the season, Ribery was the best player in Europe, but the Golden Globe belonged to Ronaldo.

In short, the award of the best player in Europe can only be said to help improve the reputation, but it has no direct connection with the Golden Globe Award.

Lee Jackie got the trophy he wanted, but he didn't have time to delay and rushed back to England to prepare for the next day's Premier League, his debut in Liverpool.

At noon on August 31st, at 12:30 local time in the UK, the focus of the third round of the Premier League, Liverpool's away game against Tottenham Hotspur is about to begin.

"This game has received a lot of attention. This is the Premier League's historical debut and Bruce Lee's first official game in Liverpool. It is very eye-catching."

"But yesterday Bruce just went to Monaco to participate in the best player in Europe award,

Immediately rushing back to participate in this league now, and it is still the focus of a strong battle, this may make Bruce very tired and unable to fully play his own level, which many people are more worried about. "

In the discussion of the England commentator, both sides of the game officially played.

When Jackie Lee played, there were huge boos in the White Hart Lane Stadium.

Everyone knows that Jackie Lee is an Arsenal fan, so it is normal for him to be booed at White Hart Lane.

Liverpool arranged a 433 formation,

Goalkeeper: Mignolet

Defenders: Moreno, Lovren, Sakho, Manquillo;

Midfielders: Coutinho, Gerrard, Henderson;

Forwards: Sturridge, Lee Jackie, Sterling.

The current Liverpool lineup is obviously top-heavy.

The trident in the frontcourt is relatively gorgeous, and it can be regarded as the top offensive line in the Premier League. With the super forward Lee Chenglong leading the team, Sturridge and Sterling are both strong forwards who proved their abilities last season.

The midfielder is not bad. Henderson is a qualified engineer player. It is well known that Gerrard's ability to decline when he is old. Now he is playing football with experience. Coutinho is very threatening on the offensive end, but defensive interception It's a lot worse.

As for the defense and goalkeeper, it is completely a tofu project, especially when key players in the defense such as Glenn Johnson and Skrtel are injured.

Such a lineup can indeed only play offensive football.

Try to rely on offense to suppress the opponent to win the game, don't count on the defensive end, everything depends on fate.

The home team Tottenham arranged a 4231 formation,

Goalkeeper: Lloris;

Defenders: Danny Rose, Vertonghen, Kabul, Dell;

Midfielders: Capoue, Ben Taleb;

Avant-garde: Shadley, Eriksson, Lamela;

Forward: Adebayor.

In the summer, Tottenham appointed Argentine Mauricio Pochettino as their new head coach.

And Pochettino's transformation of Tottenham seems to be working well. Since the start of the new season, Tottenham have won two consecutive Premier League victories and seem to be in good shape.

So this time at White Hart Lane, Tottenham are fully prepared to score three points from Liverpool.

After the game started, both sides were not polite at all, and they just went straight to the game.

Liverpool under Rodgers has always focused on offensive football, and Pochettino's tactics are also based on offense. Neither side needs to test each other, and the real fight will be over.

In just 3 minutes of the opening, Liverpool created a dangerous situation.

Coutinho sent a pass in the midfield, Sturridge made a pass from the left, and Lee Chenglong overwhelmed French defender Cabourg in the penalty area and completed a tiptoe header.

However, Lori was in good condition, raised his hand to block, and shot the ball out.

Li Chenglong squeezed away Kabul again and stepped forward to make a supplementary shot, but he pushed the ball wide under the interference of Vertonghen.

"It was just Liverpool's first attack, but the Tottenham fans in the stands must have been terrified. Bruce Lee was doing whatever he wanted in the box and the French defender didn't seem to know how to defend."

"I think that's why, Liverpool paid 80 million for Bruce, but many people say they took advantage of it."

Li Chenglong had a strong sense of presence in the first attack, which he had expected a long time ago.

This is his Premier League debut. Premier League defenders don't know enough about him in all aspects, and it is indeed easy to become a background board.

Even for those stars who are considered to be parallel imports, they can perform brilliantly in the first few games after the transfer, relying on the opponent's unfamiliarity.

In addition, Tottenham is currently in the rebuilding period, and there are many shortcomings in the team. There are quite a lot of loopholes that Lee Chenglong can catch.
