Winning the Community Shield has been unable to stimulate the honor satisfaction of Liverpool generals.

Perhaps only the 18-year-old Flanagan is more excited.

Liverpool set up a good momentum for the new season with a victory at the new Wembley Stadium.

After the awards ceremony, Liverpool set off to return to Liverpool City.

Coman called Qin Xiong to his side on the bus.

As soon as Qin Xiong sat down, Koeman asked straight to the point: "What do you think of the team's tactical system in the second half?"

After thinking for a while, Qin Xiong said in a low voice: "It's not very good. It's a bit messy, maybe it's a running-in problem, maybe it's something else, I can't tell, but it's not as stable as it used to be."

Coman pondered for a moment and asked, "What exactly is it?"

Qin Xiong gave an example: "For example, Baynes is behind me. If he takes off the defensive task, where is the limit of his offensive aggression? He doesn't know. I can feel it. If he is just behind me or on the side If Lu passes the ball out, then he doesn't need positional prerequisites at all."

Koeman nodded. What Qin Xiong said made sense. This is the most intuitive feeling for players to observe and analyze the game on the court.

This is even more important.

Regarding Liverpool's technical and tactical transformation for the new season, Koeman still needs to consider it carefully. The Community Shield is just a warm-up match, and there is no price to pay for some experiments.

The new Premier League season kicks off in a week.

Sky Sports made a prediction for the Premier League championship situation in the new season.

The number one favorite is naturally Liverpool.

Next up is Manchester City!

No.3 is Manchester United!

No.4 is Chelsea!

Although Manchester City lost to Liverpool in the Community Shield, the outside world always believes that Manchester City still has a lot of room for improvement. Just because the new aid Aguero introduced in the summer did not appear in the game can represent that Manchester City did not show all its strength to play against Liverpool. .

On August 8, the new Premier League season kicked off.

Defending champions Liverpool ushered in the challenge of the black cats Sunderland at Anfield.

All Red Army fans who come to Anfield hope that the Red Army can start the new season with a good start.

Koeman did not use the 4222 formation, but continued to use Liverpool's mature 433.

The black cat Sunderland came to Anfield and put on an iron barrel formation, and it was an extreme defense.

Intensive defense and foul tactics made Liverpool encounter great difficulties at Anfield.

But in the 29th minute of the game.Qin Xiong cut into the penalty area to respond to Johnson's cross from the wing and just stopped the ball, but was pulled from behind by the full-back Badsley and lost control of the football. The referee stopped the game and sentenced Sunderland to the penalty area An internal foul gave Liverpool a penalty.

Everyone thought that Liverpool would open the scoring account, and Qin Xiong, the most terrifying goal machine in European football, would also usher in his first goal of the new season.

But after the referee blew his whistle, Qin Xiong missed the penalty.

The football slides out.Sunderland survived.

No one would accuse Qin Xiong of squandering the opportunity.

But something even more unexpected happened.

Before the end of the first half, Sunderland kicked the ball forward with a big foot from the back. Mascherano's header from the back was intercepted by Sunderland's Sebastian Larsson. ball.

Then Larson waded the ball to a distance of [-] yards from the goal in front of the penalty area. He did not give Liverpool defenders any chance and shot from a long distance!

World wave broke!

Reina's reaction to the ball was obviously slow, and Sunderland unexpectedly led the defending champion Liverpool away!

After taking the lead, Sunderland became more determined to defend.

Liverpool is running out of long shots, breaking through.All kinds of offensive methods of set kicks failed to break through Sunderland's goal!

And Liverpool's luck is extremely bad today.

Qin Xiong and Suarez each hit the goal frame once.

Set-piece Gerrard faced an empty goal and headed the ball high. Cabaye, who replaced him, hit the ball from outside the penalty area and hit the arm of central defender Anton Ferdinand, but escaped the referee's eyes.

Liverpool slammed the opponent 32 times in the whole game but failed to score!

When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, all Liverpool players were stunned!

In the opening game, the defending champion lost!

At the doorstep!

Everyone is a little uncomfortable and cannot accept such a result.

Even Qin Xiong felt that everything seemed unreal, he lost!

Very unfamiliar feeling.

There was no gloomy scene in the stands at Anfield.

The Red Army fans sang the Red Army song in the stands.Cheer for the team!

It's just a loss, it doesn't mean anything.

Koeman walked into the player tunnel expressionlessly.

Qin Xiong left the court with a sullen face.

In the mixed interview area of ​​the player tunnel, many reporters gathered around.

"Liverpool lost the first league game of the new season. You missed a penalty in the game. What do you think is the reason for losing the game?"

Qin Xiong didn't evade, nor did he lose his temper. He replied flatly: "I am the reason for the loss. If I score a penalty kick, then Liverpool will easily win the game. I also wasted a lot of opportunities in this game. I apologize to the fans."

After Qin Xiong finished speaking, he turned and left.

It's hard to say how much this defeat stimulated him, but it did make him feel a little uncomfortable.He had experienced such negative emotions before, but now it just came back.

Turn negative emotions into motivation.Make yourself more focused and strive to perform better in the next game.Play the role of the soul of your own team!

Koeman criticized Sunderland's tactics after the game and the referee missed Liverpool's second penalty.

"Sunderland took three points at home to Liverpool, they can be proud of it, but I can only feel sad for them, they are too utilitarian, that's it, they really treat football as a job, scoring points is The only goal, if they keep playing like this all season, they will win enough points and maybe even go to Europe, but they will lose more fans, not many fans want to watch boring utilitarian football, Sander Lan has been disrupting, trying to take their chances, they had good luck today, Liverpool, on the other hand, had very bad luck and we missed out on a well-earned penalty."

For Liverpool's loss, Fleet Street is of course full of joy!

The defending champion lost the opening game!

It is inevitable that some hype will be thrown into the ground.

Koeman's attack made many celebrities seize the opportunity to speak out.

"Ronald Koeman is thinking too much! Sunderland only use this tactic against Liverpool or other teams that are obviously stronger than them. The whole season? No, they will not exceed 10 games at most. In this way, since Liverpool are the defending champions, they have to look like champions. What did Koeman say to Ferguson last season? The referee is also a human, not a machine. Of course, there will be controversy if he is a human. Hehe, Liverpool should review it carefully. Take a look at yourself, I will give Koeman a suggestion, before the transfer window closes, sign a top winger."

Lineker said so when commenting on the game on BBC Sport. (to be continued~^~)
