A long-awaited red and blue showdown kicked off the outpost of the Premier League in the new season as scheduled. Liverpool and Chelsea, after the World Cup, this is the first giant feast that excites fans all over the world. Faced with Chelsea, who is catching up with Real Madrid and becoming the new "Galaxy Fleet", Liverpool successfully defeated his old enemies and continued his unbeaten record in the Cup against Chelsea.

The investments of the Red and Blue Army in the transfer market this summer are very different. Abraham spent all his money on buying world-class superstars. Shevchenko, Barack, and A Kerr, who is very likely to arrive, Chelsea, who was already full of stars, is equivalent to introducing a world-class player on each of the three lines.

Liverpool has limited funds and targets second-rate stars who are not luxurious but quite practical. After leaving the two forwards Morientes and Cice, Bellamy, Pennant and Gonzalez introduced were only second-rate stars. They are indeed of good quality and low price, but they are far from Sheva in terms of weight. Chen Yu is the only superstar, but he is still injured and has been considered a bargain.

However, in the Community Shield, the players introduced by both sides performed worse. Barack ended up in the middle of the half due to injury. In addition to the goal that showed his personal ability, Sheva seemed quite unfamiliar with his teammates. On Liverpool, Bellamy, Pennant and Chilean Gonzalez almost became the biggest highlights of the team. Both goals were related to the direct participation of several new players. In terms of the level of team integration, Liverpool is far above Chelsea.

Compared with the previous two seasons, Chelsea has completely replaced Manchester United and become the public enemy of the entire Premier League team. This is not a good phenomenon for Chelsea, which originally started with defense. Mourinho's painstakingly created "Chelsea model" is also facing the danger of being adapted to being gradually cracked by his opponents. Manchester United and Arsenal are recruiting troops to enhance their strength. Although Liverpool has little investment, it has taken a risk on Chen Yu and has greater expectations on the basis of stability. If Chelsea appears in the upcoming Premier League last night, then it is definitely good news for Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool, who are eyeing and preparing to subvert Chelsea's dominance.

Although he successfully won the "barometer" of the Premier League, the curse of the Community Shield still enveloped Liverpool. In the next life-and-death battle with Maccabi in Haifa, Liverpool's performance was still sluggish, with offenses and defensive mistakes. Not to mention that he had no state of the Community Shield, he even performed poorly at Anfield in the first round.

Although Mackabi, Haifa, played at home in the second leg of the Champions League qualifiers, has not yet subsided in Israel's domestic war, and all the European competitions that Israeli teams participated in cannot be held in Israel and must be held in neutral countries. Therefore, this life-and-death battle for Haifa's promotion was held in Kiev, Ukraine. Liverpool has loyal fans all over the world, while Mackabi is unknown to them, and the home advantage is gone.

However, in Kiev, inspired by the Champions League UU pounds, the Maccabi people in Haifa performed very well. They insisted on the defensive counterattack style, and the two sides advanced very fast, and they dared to invest their troops when counterattacking.

Claudi, who assisted in the first game, has the strength to shoot from a long shot outside the penalty area and quickly cut into the two ribs. Haifa Maccabi relies on him to complete many offenses. He gave Liverpool a great threat in the frontcourt. After Liverpool scored a goal by Crouch, Claudi quickly tied the score. In the last stoppage time, he also got a chance to face goalkeeper Renner seven meters in front of the goal. However, Renner's wonderful save saved Liverpool and was not dragged into overtime by Haifa Maccabi. In the end, Liverpool advanced to the Champions League with a total score without any danger.

Promoting to the Champions League is a happy event, which guarantees at least UU pounds of income, but the team's sluggish performance made Liverpool fans very anxious. Three days later, the first round of the Premier League started. Although Liverpool's first opponent Sheffield United is just a promotional team, with Liverpool's state in the warm-up match and against Maccabi Haifa, the Premier League's relegation team is enough for them to have a drink.

Benitez warned players not to underestimate Sheffield United before the game. Benitez said: "...They have many excellent players, and they have completed a very difficult season in order to advance to the Premier League. You can imagine that they have become more experienced in fighting hard games. It's a very dangerous game for us, and they are not weak and we won't beat them easily. When you first play against a team that many players you have never seen before, you won't know what will happen until the game starts."

In addition, since Liverpool's performance is like a roller coaster, its state is unstable and the striker has difficulty scoring goals, many fans keep mentioning Chen Yu. The reporter will ask Chen Yu when he will come back in every game, which makes Benitez, who is calm, feel a little impatient. He said that don't pin his hopes on Chen Yu who is recovering from injury. Without Chen Yu, Liverpool also won the Champions League championship. Liverpool has the strength to win the championship. The Community Shield defeat of Chelsea is the best example. Liverpool must play more confidently in the league so that they can laugh to the end.

Liverpool fans are missing Chen, but in fact, Sheffield United fans are also missing a Chinese: Li Tie.

The former Chinese footballer Li Tie joined Everton Club four years ago. At that time, he and Everton Club's Chinese sponsor Kejian caused a lot of sensation in the British football world. Li Tie achieved great success in his first season in the Premier League and started to participate in most of the Everton Club's games that season. However, two seasons ago Li Tie disappeared from the fans' sight. This summer, Sheffield United got Li Tie, who recovered from injury from Everton for free.

Sheffield United's midfielders Alan Quinn, Jagilka and Eiffel are excellent skills and are the heroes of Sheffield United's rush to the Premier League. However, Li Tie's running and fighting are also very important to Sheffield United. As a newly promoted team, their weapon against a giant like Liverpool cannot be skilled, but can only be the most basic fighting and running in football, so Li Tie's role is very obvious.

However, although Li Tie recovered after an ankle injury, his condition is not good, so he still has no chance to play as the main player and can only wait for an opportunity on the bench.

Originally, this game could be hyped into a Chinese derby, but because one player is still recovering from injury in the United States and the other has little hope of playing, the media can only express regrets, hoping to see the players appear at the same time in the second half of the year to show the style of Chinese players to British fans.

Only journalists and fans care about the so-called Chinese derby. For Sheffield United head coach Warnock, he only cares about how to get a point at his home court.

Yes, it's one point, not three points

Warnock is very clear about what his men are. He did not become arrogant because of Liverpool's warm-up match, was defeated by Swiss Grasshoppers, was massacred by Germany's Mainz, and tied by Israel's Haifa Maccabee. He did not believe that a team composed of abandoned Premier League players and old English League One players, who had not been working together for a long time, could defeat Liverpool.

"Getting one point is a victory, because other relegation teams may not get a single point from Liverpool."

This is Warnock's declaration before the game.

No one will laugh at Warnock because the gap between Sheffield United and Liverpool is so big. If Ferguson changes to coach Sheffield United, he will also set such a goal.

However, after the game, Warnock regretted it because if Sheffield United is lucky, they will have a chance to beat Liverpool and reveal a big upset in this round of the Premier League.

Since Chelsea, who had started the game first, easily defeated Manchester City with 0, Manchester United slaughtered Fulham with l, which put a lot of pressure on Liverpool. After the game began, Liverpool took the lead in launching a fierce attack, as if he wanted to learn from Manchester United, and he was stunned by Sheffield United, who had no Premier League experience at the beginning, but Sheffield United also absorbed Fulham's lessons | They contracted their formation, defended tenaciously, and used fierce presses to disrupt Liverpool's offense.

After resisting the opening minutes, the balance of victory and loss began to tilt towards Sheffield United. In the minute, Liverpool's main defender Rise was injured. This time was exactly the same as the time when the Community Shield Chelsea player Barack was injured, which made Liverpool fans think of the Community Shield Curse again.

Sure enough, eight minutes later, Liverpool's main central defender Carragher was also injured in the fight. Seeing that he could not persist, Benitez could only replace him with Agg.

The loss of two main defenders within ten minutes caused Liverpool's morale to be seriously damaged. Moreover, because of the unstable backcourt, Liverpool's offense was not confident. He played very badly in the first half. In the 41st minute, Xie Lian striker Hus scored a goal, but the assistant referee decided that offside was the first, so Liverpool escaped.

Sheffield United saw a glimmer of hope of scoring points. In the second half, Warnock deliberately let the players push a little, putting pressure on Liverpool's defense line. Warnock's attempt was quickly successful. In the 46th minute, Liverpool full-back Cronk Camp made a defensive foul. Sheffield United got a free kick opportunity on the left wing. Sheffield United leader Onsworth passed the ball to the middle, Liverpool's defense line missed, former West Brom forward Hus jumped to the top and scored a goal in the middle, Xie Lian led Liverpool at home.

After falling behind, Liverpool strengthened its offense. Gerrard, Ag and Sissoko's long shots, Hypia and Bellamy's headers all threatened Sheffield United's goal, but Sheffield United goalkeeper Kenny and the post performed well, resolving Liverpool's shots one by one.

Seeing that the time was 70 minutes long, Liverpool still could not equalize the score, which made Benitez extremely anxious. However, Liverpool had used two substitutions due to the injury of the player. Benitez did not dare to make any more substitutions, and could only see the stalemate situation and helpless.

However, Liverpool is a veteran giant after all. Even if the team is in poor condition, some players will flash their inspiration. In the 71st minute, captain Gerrard and veteran Fowler cooperated in the frontcourt with two passes and one pass. Fowler broke into the penalty area. He forced a shot when tackled by the defender, but the ball did not hit the ball and was saved by goalkeeper Kenny, but the referee awarded a penalty.

This made Sheffield United coach Warnock and the home fans very angry. Warnock rushed into the court to find the referee to argue, but was warned by the referee's yellow card. The home fans made a shocking boo and threw miscellaneous items down when Fowler took the penalty kick, but Fowler was very experienced. He tricked goalkeeper Kenny and scored a trick on the wing, tied the score for Liverpool.
Chapter completed!
