On the afternoon of August 14th, the opening game of the Premier League, Liverpool challenged Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the first half, Liverpool led 0:2, Cisse and Owen scored a goal for Liverpool respectively, although Tottenham was very tenacious at home, several times hoping to launch a counterattack, but Liverpool crushed Tottenham with one offensive after another, so that they understood that this year's Liverpool is no longer last year's down-and-out Reds.

Spanish midfielder Xavi brought by Benitez to Liverpool? Alonso was brilliant in midfield, making a couple of dangerous long balls, including one of which set up Owen to break the deadlock on the pitch.

Cisse, who spent Liverpool £14 million, scored a goal and only used a stunning first half to convince KOPs that he was worth his money, and at the same time made people believe that he would be a good partner for Owen.

Although Tottenham have invested heavily in a number of quality stars this season, including Michael Carrick from West Ham United, they have not been able to find a single advantage in Liverpool.

Rafael Benitez's side, though not yet formed, did not leave much chance for Tottenham in the 90 minutes of the game, finishing with a clean 3-0 victory, with Owen netting another in the second half.

Judging from the process of this game, Tottenham's player strength is still there, but the team's run-in is not ideal, the introduction of a number of main players, so that the cooperation between each other is very rusty, especially the backline, several times by Liverpool's Owen and Cisse seized the opportunity to successfully score against offside, which caused this tragedy.

Liverpool, on the other hand, were not as convincing as the scoreline suggested, but Rafael Benitez's side did tactically suppress their opponents and get the Premier League off to a flying start.

In the evening, the Red Rebels take on Aston Villa away, Manchester United host Newcastle, Arsenal travel to Everton and Chelsea host West Bromwich Albion – all of which are the highlights of the league fixtures and are scheduled to be played at the same time.

Among them, Manchester United vs. Newcastle and Arsenal vs. Everton are both considered to be tough games, while Aston Villa of the Red Rebels and West Bromwich Albion of Chelsea are not strong teams and should be relatively easy.

But in fact, it's quite the opposite!

Manchester United beat Newcastle 5-1 at home, Wayne Rooney scored twice, new signings Robinho and Diego scored one goal each, and Ruud van Nistelrooy also had a goal in hand, which made Manchester United fans very satisfied, because they faced Newcastle, which is known as the quasi-giant of the Premier League, and it was indeed unexpected for everyone to be able to win.

Soon, however, news came from Stamford Bridge that the Blues beat West Bromwich Albion 6-0 at home, with Andriy Shevchenko netting a hat-trick, Frank Lampard netting twice and Veron netting from distance, and West Bromwich Albion were forced to retreat into the half-time almost from the first minute of the game, being pressed by Chelsea throughout the game.

Chelsea changed the shortcomings of last season's poor organization, and when the field was dominant, the organization played well, especially the back three composed of Deco, Veron and Emerson, which combed Chelsea's midfield in an orderly manner, launched wave after wave of attacks, firmly occupied the advantage on the field, and won a big victory.

Meanwhile, at Goodson Park, Arsenal won 5-1 away at Everton, with Thierry Henry scoring twice, Reyes, Ljungberg and Pire scoring a goal each, with Henry only scoring twice in the first half to seal the win for Arsenal and also announce Everton's heavy defeat.

With the other four teams winning all four teams in quick succession, the Red Rebels' 2-0 was a bit lacking, especially from the slight problems reflected in the game, such as Mourinho's adjustments, Drogba's retreat, and Kaka's forward insertion, plus the space between the two wings was not tacit enough.

Although the team did not do a good job in terms of tactical refinement, on the whole, the strength of the Red Rebels has not diminished compared to last season, with David Beckham's long-range shot from the back row and a wind-scratching diagonal long pass to assist Ronaldo to score.

After the first round, Chelsea are 6-0 at the top of the table, with Arsenal and Manchester United tied on points and goal difference, but the Gunners are second, with Bolton Wanderers, who beat Charlton Athletic 4-1 at home, fourth, Liverpool fifth and Red Rebels sixth.

After all the matches in the first round were over, many experts pointed out that Ancelotti proved his worth with just one game, and the Ruble Army found his most suitable person at the helm, Ancelotti not only brought Shevchenko in good form, but also arranged Veron's position well, activated the Argentine's strength, and led Chelsea to play hearty attacking football, if they can maintain their form, Chelsea's prospects are worth looking forward to.

Manchester United are another team that has made successful acquisitions, with Diego and Robinho both worthy of their value, Santos' twin stars shining at Old Trafford, and Ferguson even dropping Scholes back in order to bring Diego and Robinho on at the same time, but this move also gave the two Brazilians more freedom up front.

However, judging from the process of the game, the two Brazilians have not yet fully integrated into the team, and Ferguson's transformation of them continues, and it is believed that when Lord Ferguson arranges a reasonable set of tactics for them, the two Brazilians will completely unleash their strongest attacking firepower.

In addition, there are many people who talk about the Red Rebels, thinking that the Red Rebels, who performed strongly last season, are obviously adjusting this season, which makes Kaka, Robben and Drogba a little uncomfortable, but as long as this problem is solved, I believe that the Red Rebels will still have a lot to do.

…………………… On August 21, in the second round of the league, Chelsea defeated Birmingham 1:4 away, Liverpool defeated Manchester City 3:1 at home, Manchester United beat Norwich 4:0 at home, and Arsenal beat Middlesbrough 5:1.

The successive victories of the rivals made it obvious that the Red Rebels, who were playing a day late, felt the pressure.

But sitting at the Red Rebels Stadium, ushering in the first Premier League game in the history of the Red Rebels Stadium, the Red Rebels faced Blackburn, conceded a goal first, and forced three goals in the second half to reverse Blackburn, Beckham contributed 2 assists and 1 indirect assist in this game.

However, the violence also caused a lot of trouble for the Red Rebels in this game, especially the main striker Kaka was tackled and injured his foot, and he had to miss at least two games, which also made Mourinho publicly admit after the game that although the team won, it was a miserable victory!

Four days later, the Red Rebels welcomed Bolton Wanderers at home, who had also won two consecutive league games in a row.

The team has had a very eye-catching start to the season, winning two consecutive rounds of the league and currently sitting higher than the Red Rebels, and is likely to be the dark horse of the Premier League this season, especially the core of the team, Okocha.

However, Mourinho also paid enough attention to this game, and in Kaka's absence, he arranged for De Rossi to start, playing a back three tactics, but encouraged David Beckham, De Rossi and Essien to take turns forward, in addition to compressing Bolton's attacking space, but also using their long-range shots to create a threat and fill the void left by Kaka.

David Beckham continued his excellent form of the season in this game, and he has been in good form despite the aftermath of the European Championship with the likes of Ronaldo and Arjen Robben in the aftermath of the European Championships.

After receiving strong support from De Rossi and Essien, he stepped forward frequently and showed eye-catching attacking power up front, including scoring his second goal of the season with a header from a cross from Robben in the box in the first half.

In the second half, when Bolton's players were generally unable to keep up, Beckham still ran all over the field, and in the 79th minute, a scalpel-like through ball from the edge of the box helped Villa score a single goal, and it was also Beckham's fourth assist of the season.

It was thanks to David Beckham's excellent performance that the Red Rebels won 2-0 at home to Bolton Wanderers.

However, Chelsea soon won 4-0 away at promoted Crystal Palace, Arsenal beat Blackburn Rovers 3-0, Manchester United beat Everton 2-0 and Liverpool beat Portsmouth 3-1.

The rivals' winning streak has made the top four in the league unchanged, only the Red Rebels beat Bolton Wanderers and moved up one place, but compared with Chelsea's prestige, Manchester United and Arsenal's solid wins, the Red Rebels' victory did come a little hard, and it all relied on Beckham's flash.

The day after Bolton, the Red Rebels are at home to take on Charlton Athletic two days after their last Premier League fixture.

The game is also the Red Rebels' final league game in August, after which the players will travel to the national team until two weeks later, when they travel to Stamford Bridge in London to take on in-form Chelsea.

Although the Red Rebels are very serious about Charlton's game, it is more tactically and physically, and the players will definitely have to rotate the squad to a certain extent after a series of battles and such a dense schedule.

However, the outside media is not concerned with the current plight of the Red rebels, but more concerned with the so-called record.

Nottingham Forest's 42-game unbeaten run in the English top flight was once hailed as an insurmountable monument, but from last season's unbeaten title to winning the first three league games this season, the Red Rebels have unknowingly achieved 41 rounds of unbeaten unbeaten games, as long as the next round victory over Charlton Athletic will equal Nottingham Forest's record.

The club, including Xiao Yu, the coaching staff and the players, had not noticed this before, but with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United winning by big scores, the Red Rebels were desperate to grab more points.

Looking back now, it's true that there were three games in a season and exactly 41 games.

As long as you win one more game, you can tie the legendary record of the past!

It's an honor, but it's also a mental shackle, which is around the necks of the Red Rebels players, firmly, almost breathless, and at the same time makes the Red Rebels players a little uneasy to play on the field.

Jose Mourinho deployed a 4231 tactic in this game, in which he promoted Argentine teenager Sergio Aguero to the field in the forward position, but Aguero's performance was a little bleak, especially under the constraints of Charlton's defenders, he failed to make a difference, and in the second half, Mourinho replaced him with Kaka, who returned from injury, in the 63rd minute.

Before Kaka was about to play, Mourinho specially told him not to worry about defense and organization, his responsibility is to attack, cut forward, and score, with Beckham in terms of organization, and Essien in defense, coupled with the Red Rebels' frontcourt pressing concept, even Essien can be frequently inserted.

got Mourinho's guidance, plus Kaka watched the game on the sidelines for 63 minutes, and the situation on the field was very clear, as soon as he got on the field, he took the lead in using a mid-field dribbling to break through Charlton's defense, and under the scramble of the opposing defenders, he went straight behind him, Drogba turned around and made it in one fell swoop, 1:0!

After that, Kaka's performance in the middle became better and better, especially Xiao Xiaoluo and Messi on the left and right, who consciously pulled out space for him, attracted the opponent's defensive strength, and made Kaka more active in the middle.

In the 83rd minute, Beckham found Drogba in the penalty area with an accurate diagonal long pass, who grabbed the first point, knocked the ball to the far post with a header, and Kaka, who had been in ambush for a long time, suddenly accelerated and stretched out his foot to poke, 2:0!

After scoring his first goal of the season, Kaka was especially excited, constantly celebrating with his team-mates on the pitch.

On the bench on the sidelines, assistant coach Cassel was constantly analyzing the changes after Kaka came on the field with Aguero, in which he focused on analyzing the various problems caused by Aguero in the previous games, so that Aguero could understand what mistakes he made at that time!

It's one of the ways in which the Red Rebels help young players grow, but Aguero's mistakes will be analysed further in the meditation room, and then let him know where his mistakes are and how to improve them!

Although the team won 2-0 against Charlton Athletic, equalling Nottingham Forest's 42-game unbeaten record, Mourinho did not seem particularly happy in the post-match press conference, and when asked by the media, he said that those so-called records are not important to him, and he is more concerned about his players being able to maintain their form in the past two weeks, because in the two weeks of the league suspension, many players have to face back and forth national team games, which will inevitably affect their form in the next league.

Due to the fact that many of the main players have received the call-up of the national team, coupled with Mourinho's greater emphasis on the league and the upcoming Champions Cup, so in the European Super Cup against Real Madrid, the Red Rebels sent a lineup of substitutes and youth team players. Johnson, Mikel, Messi, Ismael and others all got the chance to start.

Real Madrid also had a number of substitutes, but stars such as Claude Makelele and Juninho Jr. were in the starting line-up, which led to a 2-1 defeat for the Red Rebels.

This is also the second year in a row that the Red Rebels have lost the UEFA Super Cup, but compared to the defeat in the Super Cup, Mourinho is more worried about the situation from the national team.

Sometimes that's how things are, and when the Red Rebels are worried about their players, the worst fears happen!
