Revive Liverpool

Chapter 277 Nothing

However, the defense is less, and the offense comes together.

Liverpool's second-best firepower in the Premier League last season was not covered.

Although there are magical performances of Suarez and Lewandowski.

But without the silent dedication of the players behind them, how could the two of them sit in the top two scorers in the Premier League.

The second warm-up match in North America is over, and Liverpool's opponent in the next game is AC Milan.

In the 17th minute, Essien made a mistake in the midfield. Kanter broke through with a low shot 11 meters from the goal and hit the left post. Sterling's supplementary shot was saved by Abbiati.One to zero, Liverpool took the lead.

In the 90th minute, Coutinho knocked ingeniously from the left, and Suso made a low shot with his left foot at the top of the arc, and the ball went into the bottom right corner of the goal!Two to zero, Liverpool expanded the score.

After three games, Liverpool's record is two wins and one loss, advancing to the final stage of the final.

And AC Milan conceded 10 goals in one win and two losses, and was at the bottom of the 8 teams in the Guinness Cup.

No one in Liverpool thought they would be able to enter the final of the Guinness Cup.

The team lost the game against Roma on the first day, which made Liverpool feel that they could return to England after three games.

Should not have entered the finals.

But who would have thought that other teams in the same group would not take this trophy seriously, and the record would be even more unexpected.

Together they lifted Liverpool to the final.

But when it comes to this, I want to mention the Guinness Cup competition system.

It is a typical American way of thinking about events. A game must be won or lost.

The rules of the International Champions Cup are different from common cup games. It is not 3 points for the winner, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss.

The winner at 90 minutes (including stoppage time) gets 3 points, and the losing side gets 0 points.

If there is a tie after 90 minutes, it will immediately go to penalties.

The winner of the penalty shootout gets 2 points and the loser gets 1 point.

It's kind of like an NHL game.

Americans don't understand the rule that football games have a tie.

They believe that there must be winners and losers in a game.Otherwise, what does this match look like.

The Guinness Cup held in North America also adopts the format that Americans like.

The other team that advanced to the final was Manchester United.

In another group match, Manchester United and Real Madrid, the two most-attended teams, Michigan Stadium had a crowd of 109318, breaking the record for a U.S. football game.

(At that time, Real Madrid should have a good number of fans, right? But now that Real Madrid has just ended its trough period, and it has not yet reached its glory days, the number of fans is hard to say.)
In the 13th minute, Phil Jones tackled Sterling in the penalty area, and the referee decisively whistled a penalty kick.

Then Gerrard took the penalty. He tricked De Gea into the lower left corner and Liverpool led Manchester United [-]-[-].

In the second half, the game changed sides and fought again.

In the 55th minute, Hernandez made a pass from the right, and Rooney hit the lower right corner with a clever shot from the left side of the penalty area. Manchester United tied the score at one to one.

In the 57th minute, Luke Shaw made a pass from the left. Mata stopped the ball on the penalty area line and shot. The ball hit Manolas and flew into the net.

In the 65th minute, Ashley Young lobbed the goal from the right. The ball bounced back into the field at a fixed triangle position at the back of the door frame, and Rooney made a supplementary shot into the net.

The referee Geiger originally determined that the goal was valid, but the assistant referee signaled that the ball had gone out of bounds, and Geiger finally changed the judgment to be invalid.

In the 88th minute, Ashley Young made a cross from the right, Shinji Kagawa stopped the ball and made a mistake. Lingard behind him got the ball and volleyed to the lower right corner, helping Liverpool seal the victory.

Manchester United beat Liverpool [-]-[-] to win the title.

This is the first crown won by the Red Devils in the new season, and it is also the first crown after Van Gaal took over the Red Devils.

On August 8 last year, Manchester United won the Community Shield with a 11-[-] victory over Wigan Athletic. Moyes successfully won the first official game of Manchester United.

On August 8 this year, Van Gaal won the Guinness Cup after five more formal games.

From this perspective, Moyes is simply much better than Van Gaal!

After the warm-up match in North America, Liverpool returned to England and still had a Community Shield game to play.

The opponent is Arsenal who won the FA Cup.

But there was a big news during this period.

On August 8, Manchester City's official website announced that Lampard joined the team and can participate in all domestic and intercontinental competitions in the first half of the season.

Same as Villa, since the new MLS season will start in March 2015, both of them hope to play professional games before then to maintain their form.

New York City FC is a new club jointly established by Manchester City Club and the New York Yankees Baseball Team. The New York Yankees own 20%-25% of the equity, Manchester City owns the remaining equity and its owner Mansour controls the management of New York City.

Now, this matter is still calm, nothing happened.

It's just that many Chelsea fans are blaming the team for not choosing to renew Lampard, and are very dissatisfied with the team's decision.

When Lampard and Chelsea were unable to reach a contract renewal agreement last season, Mourinho has repeatedly stated at the press conference that the team still hopes to keep meritorious veterans whose contracts have expired, such as Ashley Cole and Lampard.

But professional sports are so ruthless, Lampard still joined Manchester City on loan, and said frankly that if Chelsea were willing to offer a one-year contract extension, then he would definitely choose to stay.

If he did not have the confidence to continue to play in the top league, then Lampard would never come to Manchester City on loan.

However, by the end of the year, this matter will attract a lot of media attention.

Liverpool ended the training match in North America, left North America, returned to England, and began to prepare for the final pre-season warm-up match.

At the same time, we must also complete the Community Shield match against Arsenal.

In the 21st minute, Sanogo passed the ball, and Cazorla scored a low shot into the net from the melee, [-]-[-].

In the 42nd minute, Sanchez counterattacked and made a direct pass, Sanogo leaned on Lovren and knocked across, Ramsey shot obliquely into the net from the far corner, [-]-[-].

In the 62nd minute, Ramsey passed the ball, and Giroud volleyed Caballero into the net, [-]-[-].

In the end, Arsenal won the Community Shield trophy for the 13th time.

Liverpool have not won the championship in two consecutive competitions.

Liverpool's title-winning campaign has gotten off to a bad start this season.

However, Li Nan is still acceptable without the Community Shield trophy.

After all, the Community Shield is cursed. The team that wins the Community Shield will not win the Premier League in the next season.

The Community Shield has always had this curse, but after Chelsea and Manchester United broke the curse one after another, people no longer mention it.
