Chapter 422
Before the "Turin Sports" and UEFA have given a reply, on August 8, the Premier League officially started.

The 20 Premier League teams are fighting in pairs, all wanting to get a good start to the new season.

At Goodison Park, Manchester United swept away the haze at the beginning of last season and beat Everton 2-0 away to get off to a good start.Ruud van Nistelrooy and Rooney scored for Manchester United in the game.

The Gunners were not to be outdone. In the battle between Highbury and the Magpies, Henry took the lead in one stroke with Ljungberg's penalty kick in the 81st minute; 6 minutes later, Ljungberg assisted and the teenager Van Persie helped the Gunners expand the score.

In the blue arena, Magic Bird and his Chelsea are not as easy and lucky as the previous two.

Perhaps due to the influence of the Community Shield, facing the newly promoted Wigan Athletic, the Blues attacked the entire game without breaking the opponent's goal.

Six members of the newly promoted Wigan Athletic's starting lineup made their Premier League debuts. Coach Paul Jewell replaced No. 6 goalkeeper Ferran, who was absent due to a hernia, in the starting lineup. According to historical records, De Zewu joined the team for the second time.

Facing such a Premier League rookie, Chelsea did not break the deadlock until the 93rd minute of the game.

The goal came from Drogba's cross from the left. After Crespo stopped the ball in the chest 20 yards in the middle, he turned and volleyed a curve ball with his left foot.

Belitt had never seen such a shot before, so he could only stay where he was, watching the ball go into the upper left corner of the goal.

From receiving the ball to stopping the ball to turning to shooting, this goal came entirely from Crespo's personal performance.

For this reason, many media criticized Magic Bird and Chelsea after the game, saying that "the Premier League champions can only rely on Serie A shooters to save the team."

In this regard, Magic Bird is very calm.Facing the interview, he smiled and said: "I'm right, recalling Hernan to the team is definitely a correct choice!"

In the first round, Liverpool played away at the Riverside Stadium.

Old Middlesbrough player Cenden relapsed from an old thigh injury and was replaced by Riise.Beitu still has a 451 formation, Morientes plays a single arrow, Cisse is reduced to a substitute, and Sissoko is added in the midfield.

Middlesbrough signed Yakubu and Hasselbaink with 750 million pounds to form a striker. Mendieta made his first appearance since October 10 last year when his knee ligament ruptured, and Parlor switched to the center.

After the opening, Boro's defense was very tight, leaving the Red Army somewhat helpless.

This is understandable, after all, any team will adopt conservative tactics when facing a team that has just won the quadruple crown.

But to the shock of Middlesbrough and the excitement of the KOP who watched the away game, Tang Wu's figure appeared in front of every free kick of Liverpool.

Whether it's a false run, a fake kick, or a real pass or a real shot, Tang Wu participated in any free kick beyond the parallel line at the top of the Miburg arc.

Every time they saw Tang Wu running from the backcourt to the front of the ball, the KOPs who came to the scene would let out a heartfelt roar.

"TOM, TOM, TOM!"

"Go one, go one, go one!"

All the KOPs shouted so.

Tang Wu's forward penetration can always liberate a player for the Red Army's midfielder. As a result, Mibao's defense is even more difficult.

Finally, in the 76th minute, Gerrard stood close to the ball in front of the ball, and Tang Wu made preparations for a run-up behind the ball.

The KOPs all stood up and howled when they saw such a free throw preparation.

Whether it is players, coaches or even fans in Middlesbrough, they all played 120 points.

Even the commentator at the scene swallowed, made a sign of the cross on his chest and said, "God bless, I hope TOM's kick will fly."

The distance of 24 meters is not far from Tang Wu's goal in the Community Shield last time.

Middlesbrough was on the alert, waiting for the moment when Gerrard picked the ball up.

Boom!
boom!
There was another explosion over the Riverside Stadium.

It can be heard from the sound alone that Tang Wu's kick is stronger than his usual kick.

The five Mibao players in the front rushed forward desperately, blocking Tang Wu's shooting angle one by one desperately.

But how can the ball that has been drilled into the wormhole have a flight path?
With a bang, Schwarzer, the goalkeeper from Australia, was taken aback.

Yes, he was indeed terrified.

The moment the ball hit the crossbar, his whole body shook subconsciously, and even his outstretched arms tended to bend towards the back of his head.

"Hypia!"

Amid the exclamation of the commentator, the 1.9-meter-five Finnish defender leaped high and headed the ball into the net before everyone else.

1 to 0, Liverpool temporarily took the lead.

After Hyypia's goal, the Red Army's offensive became more intense.

They can rely on the speed of Garcia and Riise to break through the bottom pass from the wing, or rely on the coordination of Alonso and Gerrard in the middle to cooperate or penetrate or shoot from a long distance.Now it is also possible to foul the opponent by virtue of the favorable position at the front of the opponent's penalty area, and then set up a plasma cannon here.

Under the bombardment of Liverpool, Boro's goal soon fell again.

second, third.
It wasn't until the 94th minute that Alonso's goal was ruled offside that Middlesbrough's players could take a breather at the whistle at the end of the game.

"My God!" Boro's coach McAllen sighed in an interview with reporters: "The last thing that the coaches of the Premier League hoped for happened!"

"Not only Middlesbrough, it will be a catastrophe for the other [-] Premier League teams!"

"No team can escape, no team can escape"

According to post-match statistics, Tang Wu not only made four wonderful saves in this game, but also contributed three shots within the goal frame for the team.

Although there were no assists and no goals, whether it was Hyypia's first goal or Morrow's third goal, it was because of Tang Wu's direct shot that caused chaos in the opponent's penalty area and was successfully attacked .

Moreover, Tang Wu's set kicks were not only picked up by Gerrard to volley, but also tried almost all kinds of free kick methods such as crosses and arc shots.

Liverpool scored as many as 22 free kicks within the range of 28 to 8 yards in the frontcourt. The Red Army spent most of the game in a high-tempo, high-purpose attack.

After the game, the "Liverpool Echo" even published an article ridiculing: This season the Premier League will have another Golden Boot contender, and he turned out to be Liverpool's goalkeeper!
This article sold out as soon as it was published, and almost all KOPs took this as a basis to announce Liverpool's goals for this season.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

"Liverpool is going to win the title!"

"Yes, our primary goal is to win the championship!"

"The secondary goal is the Golden Boot!"

"Haha, the goalkeeper's golden boot! Just thinking about it makes me excited! This will be the first goalkeeper in history to win the golden boot!"

Liverpool fans made a fuss, but UEFA headquarters scoffed!
"Heh, has the Premier League been lowered to this level?" A fat-headed official put the newspaper on the coffee table in disdain, "He even trumpeted that a goalkeeper can compete for the Golden Boot! I bet that Tom Cat will Not even 5 oh no, 3 goals! Not even, not even 1!"

Five days later at Anfield, Tang Wu slapped everyone who questioned his long-range shooting ability.

Facing newly promoted Sunderland, the Red Army put on a tough stance at home from the very beginning.

Former Everton captain Stubbs made his first appearance for Sunderland. He was ridiculed as a "coward" by Red Army fans last season when he caused Baros' red card at Anfield.He partnered with Irish international center back Breen, hoping to end the team's 16-game losing streak in the Premier League.

But Tang Wu's goal in the 55th minute completely shattered the former Everton captain's wish.

It was an inspin ball with a large arc. It bypassed the wall and the goal post, but returned to the field after all.

After the game, some people said that it was very windy at Anfield, and some people said that Tang Wu was not a free kick expert, because anyone would use his right foot to rub an inspin ball.

But it was this internal spin that helped the Red Army open the door to Sunderland first.

After Tang Wu blew the horn to score the goal corner, Cenden and Alonso fired one after another.

In this way, Liverpool won two consecutive victories after the start of the new season, and topped the list with 6 goal difference.

Even Professor Wenger had to sigh: "...how can there be an eternal champion in the world? Now, it belongs to the era of Liverpool."
