Chapter 13: A Few Families Rejoice and a Few Families Grieve
Manchester United's four-goal win over Tottenham Hotspur failed to make headlines in the Premier League that round.
After the first round of the Premier League, defending champions Chelsea were held to a draw at home by Swansea, which was undoubtedly a very disappointing end for manager Jose Mourinho. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois's second-half red card was undoubtedly the turning point of the game, but Mourinho was not blaming the Belgian international after the game, but Chelsea's beautiful team doctor Eva was criticized by Mourinho.
In the final moments of stoppage time, Hazard was tripped by Swansea captain Williams on a break-through and the referee booked Williams, who also fell to the ground. Faced with the core attacker falling to the ground, the Chelsea medical team, led by Eva, quickly rushed into the field to see if Hazard was injured.
Off the pitch, though, Mourinho is roaring wildly. Why are madmen so annoyed? Is it unhappy with the foul on the Swansea captain? Not.
Jose Mourinho was angry at Chelsea's medical team, and Mourinho believes that Hazard fell to the ground not because of an injury, but because he was too tired to lie down and rest for a while. At this time, the medical team rushed over, delaying the game, not to mention, and causing Chelsea to have only 9 players on the field, forming a 9-11 situation, Mourinho still wants to seize the last moment to play a miracle!
Mourinho also harshly criticized Eva and the rest of the medical team. "I'm not happy with the medical team's performance today. It doesn't matter if you're a jersey caretaker, a doctor, or an administrator, you need to understand the game. You should know that Chelsea have one less player, and the premise of rushing to the pitch to observe the situation of the players is that you have made sure that the players have suffered serious injuries, otherwise there is no need. ”
Failing to win the three points, Mourinho angrily criticized the beautiful team doctor.
This kind of news scene is undoubtedly liked by the media. After the game, the latest rumors about Jose Mourinho made headlines in England's media.
This is Mourinho, only where he is, the media cameras are always attracted to him.
Chelsea have undoubtedly been tough to defend their title this season, with Chelsea making a small move in the transfer window and buying several players, the most expensive of which was Stoke City's goalkeeper Begovic, who Chelsea brought in for £10 million. It's by far Chelsea's biggest move in the transfer market.
Of course, the most incredible transfer in the Premier League this season has also happened to Chelsea – they only sold the team's meritorious goalkeeper, Petr Cech, in his playing years, to league rivals Arsenal for almost a cabbage price!
Despite Courtois's return, Chelsea have two world-class goalkeepers in the goalkeeper position. But even if one of them were to be sold, most would have thought that Chelsea would sell Petr Cech to another league.
However, the Chelsea owners have respected the opinion of Cech himself, whose family is in London, and he does not want to leave the Premier League.
Therefore, Arsenal picked up the bargain.
However, Arsenal fans are not happy, because in this transfer window, Cech is Arsenal's only new signing.
The key was in the first round of the Premier League, when Arsenal lost at home – Arsene Wenger's side lost 2-0 at home to the Hammers at West Ham United.
Before the start of the season, Arsenal fans were still very happy, although the team did not spend much, but the fans have long been accustomed to Arsenal's careful calculation.
In pre-season, Arsenal won every game and the team looked in great form, while Arsene Wenger's side also won their first title of the season with a maiden win over Jose Mourinho in the Community Shield – with the exception of the Emirates Cup, of course.
Gunners fans have just tasted the sweet fruits of the victory over Jose Mourinho at Wembley and had a blissful matchday. Back at home, Gunners fans are naturally hoping to get the season off to a good start with a win.
However, Arsenal's performance disappointed the fans, with their side trailing by two goals shortly after the start of the second half. In this way, their mood is naturally not much better.
After Mohammad Salat scored the second goal for West Ham, it was difficult for even the die-hard stands to put together a very neat and loud cheer. Instead, the occasional "Come on Arsenal!" comes to mind. "The cry. And when the players' offense stalled, "Run!" "Shoot! Such shouts are also higher and higher. Sadly, the Gunners were unable to find the back of the net in the end. As the game drew to a close, Giroud missed another chance and eventually became the fuse, with some Gunners fans choosing to leave the pitch to avoid queues at the subway.
By the end of the game, Arsenal had still not been able to organise an effective attack, and many Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium were even furious directly in the stands. Zone 6, which is dominated by lower-middle-class fans, is the area with the largest number of "anti-warm" fans, and the famous "Thank you Wenger for the good memories, but it's time for you to leave" banner came from this area. As the game drew to a close, fans in the area were neatly "Spend some f**king money!" As Giroud walked off the pitch, he shouted "Sign a f**king striker!" The final whistle thought, and the boos in the sky sounded directly. The voice was penetrating and directed straight at the bench where Arsene Wenger and the players were.
Loyal and aggressive, this is where the fans are contradictory and unified.
Chelsea and Arsenal fans will certainly be frustrated this weekend, but relative to a few other Premier League aspiring teams, the team managed to get three points in the first round and their fans were able to enjoy the weekend.
Liverpool have never won the Premier League, but as the second most successful club in England's history, they certainly will not give up on their quest for the Premier League title.
Losing Steven Gerrard, this game was the first time in more than a decade that Liverpool played without Gerrard.
Fortunately, in the transfer period, the introduction of striker Benteke, for several seasons in a row, Liverpool gradually built a local squad, which is only good for the team to restore competitiveness, in addition, although the team's record fluctuated last season, however, Rodgers's position is still solid - it is not so easy to find a suitable manager in world football now, especially for a club with a more unique personality like Liverpool.
In the end, on the road, thanks to Coutinho's stunning goal in the 87th minute, Liverpool struggled to get three points.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are undoubtedly favourites for the Premier League title, beating West Bromwich Albion 3-0 away at West Bromwich Albion.
In the first round of the Premier League, a few were happy and some were sad.
