International Match Day enters the offseason, but for the European giants, this time is not a day of rest. They have many international players at this time for the FIFA virus. A coach with an out-of-character like Mourinho even expressed through the media that he hopes that coaches from all over the world will show mercy to his players. After all, Tottenham’s aces cannot afford to hurt.
But the most depressing part of this international competition window is not yet Tottenham's turn. The defending Premier League champion Liverpool is the one who has been hit hard. Joe Gomez’s left knee has just been confirmed to undergo surgery, and the return date is difficult. On the other side, Salah’s top star has “fallen down” again. The Egyptian Football Association announced on November 14 that Salah’s new crown will be tested. Tested positive and the player has been quarantined.
last season’s league title seemed to drain Liverpool’s luck. Aspiring to defend the title and reshape the "dynasty" after they introduced Thiago and Jota this summer, Klopp can be said to have made adequate preparations for defending the Premier League and regaining the Champions League. However, in the Merseyside derby, Van Dijk's serious injury season was reimbursed. Immediately after the team's key introduction of the midfield commander Thiago, also injured in the final moments of the game, the return date has not yet been determined.
This is not over yet, Fabinho and Arnold have been injured one after another, and the main line of defense is left back Robertson alone. At present, Liverpool can no longer line up a decent back line, and some fans even start to miss Lovren who has left the team. You must know that he was criticized by Liverpool fans.
At present, it will take at least 2 weeks for Salah to completely get rid of the impact of the virus, and it is likely that he will miss the game against the current Premier League leader Leicester City. Liverpool has a tight schedule after the international game day, with Leicester City on November 23, Atalanta on the 26th, Brighton on the 28th, Ajax on December 2 and Wolves on December 5. Once left behind at this stage, Liverpool's road to defending this season will be difficult.
This season’s Premier League can be described as a co-star. Although the results of the original champions Liverpool and Manchester City are justified, they have no longer the state of destruction as they did in the previous two seasons. Chelsea is still in a running-in period after the massive signings, and Manchester United continues to have troubles. , Arsenal no longer have the spirit to compete for the title, only Mourinho's Tottenham in big6 is in good shape. The second tier of Leicester City and Everton took advantage of the momentum to try to challenge the old English Premier League pattern that has not changed for many years.
The Premier League is in chaos, the championship may still be produced in BIG6, but the gap between the teams is not as obvious as the previous two seasons, I believe the suspenseful Premier League will be even more exciting.
