1381 International Champions Cup Warm Up
1381 International Champions Cup Warm Up
Qin Xiong's vacation is over. During his trip in Australia, he taught his son Qin Ye two swimming strokes, one is freestyle and the other is backstroke. As for breaststroke, Qin Ye has been able to swim since the day he knew how to swim.
He first sent his family back to Liverpool, and then returned to China. The first stop will be Beijing, the capital of China.
The scene when the Liverpool team arrived in the Chinese capital was a crowd of thousands, and dense crowds of fans came outside the airport to welcome Liverpool.
Looking around, the city is full of red army armor!
Chinese fans warmly welcomed the visit of the European champions wearing Liverpool jerseys.
Qin Xiong was finally able to take away part of the superstar aura.
After all, Qin Xiong is the captain of the Chinese national team. He has a relatively high appearance rate in front of local fans, and domestic football news cannot be separated from Qin Xiong every week.
But other Liverpool stars, such as Gerrard, Alonso, new aid Thiago Silva, etc. are obviously different. They appeared in China and made the fans crazy.
The Red Army and Liverpool are preparing for the summer friendly match at the Bird's Nest. During the open training session, the atmosphere of the team is very relaxed. Qin Xiong, new aids Thiago Silva and Cabaye talked and laughed, and also exchanged skills with each other. The reporters on the sidelines were extremely excited.
This time not only a Liverpool team came to Asia, but also Aston Villa, Everton, and Tottenham Club.
Known as a warm-up match for the Premier League Asian Cup.
The four teams draw lots for the knockout round.
It is relatively easy for Liverpool to prepare for the new season. Naturally, coming to China is to earn popularity, participate in some sponsor activities, play two warm-up games, and then leave.
The first warm-up match was between Liverpool and Aston Villa.
Koeman did not send an absolute main force to start the game, allowing some young players and substitute players to play in the first half.
As a result, Liverpool was led 2:0 by Aston Villa in the first half of the warm-up match.
Koeman replaced Qin Xiong and Gerrard at halftime.And Suarez.
After the three came on the field, they cooperated with Cabaye, Baynes, Dirk, Dirk and other players who were originally on the field, and gradually regained their momentum. They scored three goals in 30 minutes in the second half to complete the reversal.
This is actually a warm-up match, even the opponent Aston Villa did not try their best.In an easy battle game, Liverpool finally won the game 4:3.
Although it is a pre-season warm-up match, the British media are also paying attention to Liverpool's preparations.
Especially the performance of the new aid, Cabaye has not yet fully integrated into Liverpool, while Thiago Silva's performance is quite satisfactory, after all, it is a warm-up match.The requirements cannot be too high.
Three days later, Liverpool and Tottenham played the Premier League Asian Cup final at the National Bird's Nest Stadium.
In this game, Liverpool sent the main players to the battle first, ravaged Tottenham like chopping melons and vegetables, and then sent substitute players to observe the performance in the second half.
In the end, Liverpool won Tottenham 4:2.
After the trip to China earned eyeballs and huge financial benefits, Liverpool immediately went to the United States.
Beginning in 2009, in order to develop the North American market, a friendly match named International Champions Cup will be held in the United States in summer.
Because of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.There was no International Champions Cup last year.
In the summer of 2011, the well-known giants of the European powerhouses came to the United States to conduct pre-season warm-up matches together.
The participating teams include Manchester United and Liverpool in the Premier League, Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga.Juventus in Serie A, Benfica in Portuguese Super League.
As well as the United States such as the Los Angeles Galaxy, Vancouver Whitecaps and other teams to form the Eastern United and Western United, as well as the traditional strong teams of North America and Mexico, America, Guadalajara.
The teams are divided into high and low levels, and it can be said that there are differences in strength and weakness.
Although there are many participating teams, the grouping system is adopted.Some teams don't meet each other, and each team plays three games.
Liverpool's three games are against the American East United and Juventus.and Real Madrid.
Koeman is very satisfied with this kind of event, on the one hand, it can help the team increase income.On the other hand, it also makes the warm-up more meaningful.
The promotional posters for the new season of the Premier League in the US market have been released. On Times Square in New York, Qin Xiong landed in New York with a huge poster wearing a Liverpool jersey and became an important star for the Premier League to open up the US market.
Under such stimulation, Qin Xiong's Liverpool naturally attracted more attention from American fans. Of course, although the Americans enjoyed the game in a very leisurely and relaxed manner, Liverpool still showed great sincerity in participating.
In the first battle against the New England Revolution in the Eastern United States, Liverpool went all out with firepower.
Qin Xiong scored a hat-trick, Suarez scored twice, and new aid Cabaye also scored from long range after coming off the bench.
Liverpool's 6-0 win over the American team allowed American audiences to see what top-level European football looks like!
In the second warm-up match against Juventus, the goal of Liverpool's game is to run-in the whole team.
The pace of the game has become slower. Although Juventus has improved its strength year by year after returning to Serie A, it is still far behind the top of Europe.
In the slow confrontation with Liverpool, Liverpool gained an advantage in the game with more patience, calmness and richer offensive methods.
At the end of the game, goals from Raul and Thiago Silva helped Liverpool win Juventus 2:0.
The last game was against Real Madrid, which was the grand finale.
The Real Madrid led by Mourinho is completely different from the Real Madrid played by Qin Xiong.
Real Madrid, which used to carry the banner of offense and pursue offensive football, has been subverted.
It was replaced by Mourinho's anti-reverse philosophy, utilitarian philosophy.
This is a match between Real Madrid and Liverpool.
Real Madrid's defensive counterattack was flourishing, and Liverpool's ability to break through dense defense reached its peak. The two teams showed their strengths in the restricted and anti-restricted games. Maybe they were not as one-sided as the previous two games, but they brought another to the fans. A confrontational spectacle.
In the game, Ronaldo blasted Johnson on the left with a counterattack and scored two goals.
Qin Xiong on Liverpool's side was not to be outdone, and Casillas lost face with a set kick. After cooperating with Gerrard's wall-hitting, he broke through Ramos in front of the penalty area and then pushed and scored. Everyone was shocked.
Qin Xiong, who also scored twice, used a long shot at the last moment of the game to create chaos in front of Real Madrid's defense. In the chaos, Suarez sent the ball into the goal with a supplementary shot.
Liverpool defeated Real Madrid 3:2, ending the three-game winning streak of the International Champions Cup, and beat Manchester United to win the championship with a goal difference advantage! (to be continued~^~)
