Chapter 408: Liverpool, the envy of Arsenal fans
After a pleasant day of vacation, Arsenal players are once again preparing for the game. Arsenal will usher in Liverpool, which was once as declining as himself, in the third round of the league.
It was said that it was naturally because of Arsenal's triple-winning champion last season. With Arsenal's winning, the Arsenal has completely escaped the predicament of the previous decade, while Liverpool still has to continue its tragedy.
Liverpool finally ranked sixth in the league last season and only got the chance to the UEFA Cup, but even so, Liverpool still invested a lot this summer.
Free franchises include Milner, Danny Ins, Bogdan and others, as well as Firmino, Benteke, Klein and Cech who spent a lot of money to introduce them.
There are naturally many outs. British Star Sterling transferred to Manchester City, Borini was also sold to Sunderland, Balotelli was loaned to AC Milan, and Glenn Johnson also left after the contract expired.
However, these people must be as influential as Gerald left. Although Gerald is old, the Liverpool captain played for many years after all, and even kept the players in Liverpool.
Unfortunately, Gerald could win a Premier League championship by leaving Liverpool, which is also the only regret that Gerald played for Liverpool for 17 years.
The Liverpool captain took over the class transfer of former heartthrob Beckham to the Major League Baseball Los Angeles Galaxy.
Time is cruel because it will not stop because of anyone or anything, but time is fair because everyone is the same.
For players, time is everything. Gerald is old and he withdrew from the big stage of Europe. Li Shou is still young and he gradually becomes the protagonist of this stage. But Li Shou will also get old one day. Gerald now may be Li Shou ten years later.
Just before the game between Arsenal and Liverpool, Li Shou's optimistic Van Dijk transferred to Southampton. Li Shou was a little depressed because the system recommendations have proved everything.
Griezmann performed well at Arsenal, and De Bruyne caused Chelsea to pursue him. Chelsea has actually offered more than 40 million pounds. Both sides are still raising the transfer price.
Li Shou approached Wenger on this issue. Now Van Dijk is not expensive to take action, only more than 10 million pounds. In fact, Wenger was also convinced by Li Shou.
After all, Griezmann is obvious to all, and it is no secret that Chelsea pursues De Bruyne, and De Bruyne's performance at Wolfsburg last season is obvious to all. The double-double data of 10 goals and 21 assists in the season is amazing.
If Li Shou hadn't led Arsenal to create the triple-champion miracle last season, De Bruyne was definitely the most surprising player last season.
Unfortunately, this surprise originally belonged to Arsenal. If Wenger followed Li Shou's recommendation, Arsenal could have brought Belgium back to London last season.
Because of these two examples, Wenger decided to take action against Van Dijk, but Wenger's request was rejected. The Arsenal boss felt that there was no need for Arsenal to introduce another central defender at the moment.
The combination of Koscheerney and Mertesacker is very stable. Arsenal's record of not conceding goals last season has proved everything, and Paulista is on the bench.
Wenger almost wanted to criticize his boss after hearing this, but his good cultivation made Wenger resist. On the second day after Wenger was rejected, Southampton officially announced to the public that he would sign the Dutch central defender for £11.5 million.
Li Shou really wanted to curse people when he saw this news. No, he had already started cursing directly. Li Shou did not have the cultivation of Wenger, but was just cursing in his heart. Of course, Li Shou did not scold Wenger, he scolded Arsenal boss Kroenke.
This also made Li Shou firmly firm in his heart, he would have to complete the title defense no matter what this season, and then leave Arsenal and leave the damn American team.
Van Dijk was just a small wipe, and only Wenger and Li Shou knew that the Arsenal players were still paying attention to the upcoming third round of the league.
On August 24, Rodgers led the brand new Liverpool to London. With Gerald's departure, Liverpool ushered in a new era. However, no one knew at this time that Rodgers' time at Liverpool had entered the countdown.
Emirates Stadium has become the most attended stadium in the Premier League this season, with the first two rounds full, and it goes without saying that this game will be the next one.
Although Liverpool did not enter the top four last season, it is still a traditional Premier League giant. I would like to say nothing else, Liverpool's investment this summer alone deserves respect.
Liverpool invested nearly 80 million this summer. Although he has recovered a lot of blood, Liverpool's investment is already exaggerated enough. Just look at Arsenal.
This is also the only thing Arsenal fans envy Liverpool. In addition to the glory of the championship, the players' favorite sight is that the team spends a lot of money in the transfer market and buys one star after another, but this situation rarely happens in Arsenal.
The nights in London are still lively, and the Emirates Stadium is even more crowded. As the warm-up of players on both sides ends, fans are starting to look forward to the game.
Liverpool's record last year was average, but the Liverpool team's strength was still very strong, especially after strengthening the front line this season and introducing Cech, the media even said that Liverpool seems to have no shortcomings this season.
However, Liverpool won the first two rounds and was not easy. Liverpool's opponents were not strong in the first two rounds, respectively Stoke City and the newly promoted Bournemouth. Both games were 1:0.
In comparison, Arsenal won much better. In the first game, even if Arsenal was not lucky, he still won 2:0. In the second game, he even declared the strength of the defending champion with a 3:0.
"Rogers seems to need time to tie the team together, but Arsenal does not have this kind of trouble." The departure of Gerald and Sterling still has a certain impact on Liverpool, especially the departure he leads. Gerald is Liverpool's captain and a symbol of spirit.
"Oh oh ~~~ The captain's armband is still on Lee's arm. It seems that Lee's time at Arsenal is really entering the countdown." Andy Gray's truth is because Lee's time at Arsenal is indeed entering the countdown.
According to Arsenal's tradition over the years, Arsenal fans also have enough reason to worry. Even after the last game, fans went to Arsenal's official website to hope that the team would strip Li Shou's captain's armband.
Obviously, the fans did not succeed, and Wenger decided to hand over the captain's armband to Li Shou, and Li Shou was indeed worthy of the captain's armband. Neither Koscheer nor Mertesacker opposed it was the best proof.
Chapter completed!
