The probability of emergence of a force that can catch up with the top two is zero.
It is the strongest rivalry in the world and the best rivalry in history.
More than 30 years in football, and a quarter of a century in Premier League audio commentary, there has never been a match as beautiful and high-level as Liverpool and Manchester City’s spitting contest.
If Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp embraces possession, City manager Pep Guardiola will study Gegenpress. It was clear that they were aware of each other, which is why the match between the two teams was tense and full of entertainment.
And the 2022-23 Premier League season will no doubt be the ultimate battle between Liverpool and City. Even though Arsenal and Tottenham are aiming to reinforce the target, the degree of perfection is a big difference.
Chelsea have slowed down in the market following the resignation of CEO Mariana Granovskaya, who was in charge of the strengthening department. Manchester United are slow as usual. It is safe to say that the probability of emergence of a force that will catch up with the two major powers is “zero.”
The destructive power of the Liverpool attack team is the best in the league
Liverpool’s reinforcements were as swift as ever. Julian Ward, who took over as director following the departure of Michael Edwards, has quickly struck a deal with Darwyn Nunez. Even when he competed with Arsenal and United, he didn’t panic and talked passionately regarding the club’s ideals and persuaded them.
There are many barriers that stand in the way of Nunez, such as a transfer fee of around 75 million pounds (regarding 12.4 billion yen), Sadio Mane’s successor who left for Bayern, and the intensity of play unique to the Premier League.
But Liverpool’s scouts are as good as Luis Diaz, who was acquired on the market in January, and was an instant fit. I don’t think Nunez needs a lot of time to get used to it either. Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Diogo Jota, and Luis Diaz make up the attacking team, which has the most destructive power in the league.
City front lost speed
Meanwhile, City have signed Erling Haaland from Dortmund. At 194cm and 88kg, his sturdy body is suitable for the Premier League. He is one of the most promising talents in football for the next 10 years. With a high level of defensive awareness and a lot of exercise, it is very likely that he will be able to adapt to the style that Guardiola demands.
But with the departure of Raheem Sterling to Chelsea and Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal, the front line has lost its speed. Jack Grealish and Phil Foden, and Bernardo Silva, who is likely to be used on the wing this season (I think the Akinami sent from Barcelona is shaking my heart…) will contribute with their graceful techniques, Not as fast as Sterling or G. Jesus.
Here are some of the highlights of this season’s Community Shield on July 30th. Even if it’s hard to say that it’s hard to beat in perfection, Liverpool is slightly above in terms of the quality of the attacking team and the number of players. City, of course, are also lining the market and looking for a winger, led by West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen.
This season, ahead of the Qatar World Cup, will be suspended on November 12th and will resume on Boxing Day, which is too unusual. Predicting the entire season is very difficult.
Liverpool ready to go. City with a little anxiety. Will the current narrow gap narrow at once? Or will it spread to an unexpectedly large difference?
