Klopp, as a world-class top coach, has also achieved quite remarkable results in leading Liverpool over the years. However, it is unfortunate that last season, when they had an advantage, they collapsed directly at the last moment of the Premier League title race, and Klopp made a decisive decision to leave. In such a situation, Liverpool was not favored by everyone. It was widely believed that after Klopp left, Liverpool's performance would show a significant decline. However, it now appears that after Sloth took office, Liverpool's performance has instead shown a significant improvement, which makes everyone feel very relieved. As for Klopp, the former Liverpool manager, he also accepted an interview. This is also Klopp's first appearance after joining Red Bull, naturally attracting considerable attention. During the program, Klopp said: "I am very happy that Liverpool's performance is excellent. I still keep in touch with Sloth and some players. Only 0.1% of people think I should continue to stay there. So my leaving was a very correct thing." It can be seen that Klopp's departure from the team was actually planned long ago. Even though the club has now achieved a perfect record, Klopp has no regrets about leaving. Furthermore, Klopp criticized Arnold by name at the end, saying: "Arnold did not perform well in the match against Manchester United. He needs to learn how to defend. His defense is just too bad." This time, after Klopp stopped coaching, he finally spoke his mind. However, Klopp is now ready to help the team strengthen and upgrade at Red Bull. If…

In the final of the Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid suffered a crushing defeat against Barcelona with a score of 2-5. On January 13th, Jose Diaz, the Real Madrid correspondent for Marca, revealed that within a few days, Real Madrid's president Florentino Perez and general manager Jose Angel Sanchez will meet with coach Carlo Ancelotti to analyze the reasons for the defeat and discuss countermeasures. 78 days ago, in the Spanish national derby, Real Madrid suffered a humiliating 0-4 defeat at home; this time in the Spanish Super Cup final, they lost again with a score of 2-5, making it two defeats with a combined score of 2-9. This has made Real Madrid realize the crisis they are facing. Marca reports that Ancelotti is very clear that Real Madrid must make changes, specifically in three areas: Starting the four superstars - Mbappe, Vinicius, Rodrygo, and Bellingham - in strong matchups is a risky formation. Mbappe hardly participates in pressing, and Vinicius' defensive enthusiasm is not high, which leads to Real Madrid's defense being under pressure. In the future, Real Madrid will inevitably disband the starting lineup of these four giants in major events. The choice of central defender. Rudiger is reliable, but Camavinga's performance is too poor. When faced with fast and agile attackers, Camavinga exposes his weaknesses of slow turning, slow reaction, and slow frequency. In front of Rafinha and Amal, Camavinga appears incredibly clumsy. If Real Madrid does not reinforce in the winter window, Ancelotti will consider letting Raul Albiol take over and replace Camavinga. The right-back position…

It has been some time since the beginning of 2025, yet Liverpool has yet to secure their first victory, marking a significant failure for Slot in 2025. After drawing with Manchester United in the double red derby and losing away to Tottenham in the League Cup, it is understandable that Liverpool did not manage to take all three points as they did not have the advantage of time and place. However, what truly concerns Liverpool is the renewals of Arnold and Salah. If these two matters are not resolved quickly, Liverpool may experience a period of adjustment over the next few seasons, and the team will also need to find a successor for Van Dijk, who is getting older. According to foreign media reports, Van Dijk's renewal has been completed and only awaits an official announcement. As the dual captain of Liverpool and the Netherlands, Van Dijk possesses excellent physical fitness and maintains a high attendance rate. His renewal ensures that Liverpool will not need to introduce a starting center-back for the next 2-3 years and also guarantees that the team's defensive quality will not fall too low. During Klopp's early tenure at Liverpool, the team's defense was quite poor, and the squad depth was insufficient for multi-front battles. It was not until Van Dijk arrived that Liverpool could maintain a top position in the league year after year. Van Dijk has now been with Liverpool for seven years, during which he has hardly missed any games, serving as a reliable pillar of Liverpool's defense. At the same time, his…

In the 20th round of the Premier League, the clash between two long-standing rivals, Manchester United and Liverpool, ended in a 2-2 draw. Despite playing as the away team, Manchester United managed to hold Liverpool to a draw, who had previously maintained an unbeaten record of 23 matches, extending their own "undefeated" streak. Honestly, the result of this match was quite unexpected - Manchester United was once considered the "unlucky one" of the season, with their ranking steadily declining, to the point where even teams from the lower half of the table looked down on them. As for Liverpool, they were determined to win, but unexpectedly received a harsh "favor" from the Red Devils. The focus of the match must be mentioned, Liverpool's right-back, Arnold. His performance on the field was nothing short of disastrous, especially in defense, where he seemed to be involved in almost every goal conceded. For a player known as an "all-rounder," Arnold's performance last night was truly disappointing, as if he had handed over his defensive duties to the wind. Liverpool's two conceded goals were directly related to Arnold's defensive shortcomings. During the match, even Van Dijk couldn't help but shake his head at Arnold, who appeared to be a mere "passerby," with poor positioning and slow reactions, giving Manchester United ample space for their attacks. What's even more concerning is that Arnold's mind seems to have already wandered away from Liverpool. Recent rumors about him and Real Madrid have been rampant, leading many to speculate whether he has set his sights on the Spanish…

Under new coach Ruben Amorim, last season's best player Diogo Dalot remains one of Manchester United's absolute mainstays. However, the Portuguese full-back's performance has been unsatisfactory, as he has had to play out of position on the left, leading to growing dissatisfaction among Red Devils fans. However, in European football, the 25-year-old Dalot has attracted many potential buyers, including Real Madrid! At the start of the season, Real Madrid veteran Dani Carvajal suffered a serious knee ligament injury that required surgery and ended his season, leaving coach Carlo Ancelotti in need of a new right-back. Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool is the player "Galacticos" most want to sign, but prying him away from Anfield is no easy task. The 26-year-old Alexander-Arnold not only came through the ranks at Liverpool but has spent his entire career there and is also in contention for the club's second-ever Premier League title. Therefore, whether his contract is about to expire or not, leaving in January is not his preferred option. After Alexander-Arnold, Real Madrid sees Manchester United's Dalot as a backup option. English media reports reveal that they have been keen to find out if Amorim would be willing to sell this Portuguese international. Despite playing a key role for the Red Devils so far this season, Dalot has been playing out of position at left-back due to Luke Shaw's continuous injuries. In the recently concluded double-header against Liverpool, Dalot outperformed Alexander-Arnold, causing the latter to be substituted early by manager Jurgen Klopp. However, if Manchester United were to bring in a new left-back, Dalot…

This morning, the double red derby ended in a 2-2 draw, thus concluding the 20th round of the Premier League where Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal all drew their matches, while Manchester City secured two consecutive victories with a 4-1 win over West Ham. The collective underperformance of the top teams has provided an opportunity for Manchester City to catch up, despite only winning three out of their last eleven games, including a record of one win, two draws, and six losses from the tenth to the eighteenth round. However, they are only two points away from the top four. The general manager of Lorient has confirmed that their defender, Huseynov, who is a target for Manchester City during the winter transfer window, will be leaving the club. Manchester City's signing of Lorient defender Huseynov is nearing completion, as the team seeks to strengthen their defense and midfield protection, which have been abstract this season. Despite a 4-1 victory over West Ham, City only had nine shots compared to their opponent's seventeen. The defensive issues can only be resolved through new signings, but unfortunately, City's winter transfer activity has been more noise than substance so far. Currently, there has been no significant progress in Manchester City's pursuit of targets such as Zubimendi, Guimaraes, Wirtz, and Musiala. The rumored transfer of Marmoush to City has also been debunked by Sky Sports and Bild reporter Eric Peters. The only confirmed interest and ongoing negotiation by City is for Lorient defender Huseynov. Both the "Manchester Evening News" and Fabrizio Romano have confirmed that the…

This season's second Premier League "Double Red Club" did not present a one-sided trend like the first leg. Manchester United took the lead in the second half and quickly turned the score around with two goals from Liverpool. Diawara "saved the day" again, and both sides had to settle for a draw, each taking a point from Anfield. For Manchester United, this was a very important game. Prior to this, they had suffered three consecutive defeats in the Premier League without scoring a single goal. Statistics show that if Manchester United were still unable to score and lost to Liverpool, it would be the first time in over a hundred years of team history that they experienced four consecutive defeats without scoring, with the last such occurrence happening a year before Old Trafford, the Theater of Dreams, was even completed. Unsurprisingly, Rashford did not appear on the squad list, with Amorim citing "injury" as the reason, although everyone knew the real deal. Similarly, the controversial Garnacho did not start but came on as a substitute for Menu in the second half, with his positive performance seemingly reassuring everyone that Garnacho had not yet become another Rashford. Continuing to bench the top scorer of the league this season, Amorim made it clear to the outside world that he had decisively made his choice, sending a clear signal that Rashford could not stay! Although Rashford has been out for some time, Manchester United's performance has been quite poor, but they were able to turn the tide against Manchester City, draw with Liverpool,…

Liverpool has become an undefended city, with Arnold's Route 66 allowing Manchester United to pass unimpeded, and Lima scores a goal! The snow is flying at Anfield, the accumulated snow has been cleared to the sidelines and piled up into snowmen. The sky is still sprinkled with snowflakes! Manchester United roared into Liverpool, this undefended city tonight! Arnold's Route 66, open for you! The Double Reds never lack bloodiness. The daily listless clock-in and clock-out of Manchester United has finally woken up! You can never wake up a person pretending to sleep! Unless he wakes up himself! Zhuangzi once told a story about "Yao ceding the world." Emperor Yao wanted to hand over the world to the hermit Xu You to govern. Xu You said: "The oriole builds its nest in the forest, but occupies only one branch; the mole drinks water from the Yellow River, but only enough to fill its belly. What use is the world to me?" "Even if the cook does not prepare the sacrificial meal, the priest should not go beyond his place to replace him in the kitchen." This is where the idiom "stepping out of bounds to take over the kitchen" comes from. Gentlemen stay away from the kitchen, modern people no longer worry about this. Rooney has returned home to be a house husband. Cooking is one side of a man showing his intelligence. Lima and Maguire often rush up to support Arnold's side of the highway attack, and Lima also seized the opportunity to show off his ability to score a…

In the highly anticipated "Double Red" match of the 20th round of the Premier League that concluded in the early hours of January 6th, Beijing time, Liverpool was held to a 2-2 draw at home by Manchester United. In this game, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool's right-back valued at 75 million euros, sparked outrage due to his poor performance. Both of Liverpool's conceded goals were closely related to his lackadaisical attitude and poor defense. In the 52nd minute, after a rash passing error, Alexander-Arnold remained lethargic and did not press forward to challenge, instead allowing Bruno Fernandes to move horizontally before delivering a through ball. This led to Lisandro Martinez breaking into the penalty area and scoring with a powerful shot from a tight angle. Liverpool's second goal conceded also originated from the right side defended by Alexander-Arnold. During the goal, he was out of position, inexplicably retreating to the center of the penalty area, which forced center-back Ibrahima Konate to move wide to defend against Alejandro Garnacho. This left a gaping hole in the middle, allowing Diawara to score. After a ridiculous passing error near the sideline, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk glared at Alexander-Arnold with a look that could "kill with eyes," clearly expressing his dissatisfaction with the player's poor performance in the game. Manchester United legend Roy Keane severely criticized Alexander-Arnold, saying, "He runs around aimlessly in defense, defending like a primary school student. He must do better. People say he might go to Real Madrid. But judging by his current defensive level, he might end up at Tranmere…

On January 6th at 1:00 AM Beijing time, the 20th round of the Premier League featured a double red derby, with Manchester United visiting league leaders Liverpool. Prior to the match, Amorim revealed that Rashford was not included in the squad due to injury. ‌[Game Highlights]‌ After the opening whistle, Liverpool took a clear advantage on the field. However, compared to their previous winning streak, Liverpool did not create many clear-cut chances. Conversely, Manchester United had two absolute opportunities in the first half. Amad's close-range header turned into a clearance, saving Liverpool, and Hoilen's one-on-one chance was also saved by Alisson. At halftime, both teams drew 0-0. After the break, Onana made a heroic save. In the 52nd minute, Arnold's pass was intercepted, and B fee assisted Lima to break the deadlock. In the 59th minute, Gakpo equalized the score, and in the 70th minute, Salah scored from the penalty spot, completing the comeback for Liverpool. Salah scored 18 goals and provided 13 assists in 19 rounds, creating 31 goals, surpassing Suarez's record of 30 goals and setting a new record for the most goals involved in the first 19 rounds of the Premier League. In the 80th minute, Arnold's defense once again faltered, and Garnacho assisted Amad to equalize the score. Ultimately, this thrilling double red derby ended in a 2-2 draw. Liverpool maintained their unbeaten streak in all competitions (20 wins and 4 draws), leading Arsenal by 6 points and having one fewer game played than the Gunners. Meanwhile, Manchester United finally halted their three-game losing streak in…
