Liverpool: The King will return

Liverpool is known as one of the two most successful teams in the top league of the foggy country. They are only behind the Red Devils of Manchester when they have brought home 18 English championships (2 domestic titles less than MU).

In terms of continental competitions, the team known as the Red Devils of Merseyside leads in the number of championships, with 5 Champion League titles (formerly known as C1), 3 UEFA Europa League titles (formerly known as C2 and C3) and many other major and minor championships at both domestic and continental levels.

Before the championship was renamed the Premier League in the 1991-1992 season, the Anfeld team became a formidable force competing on equal terms with Manchester United, creating a very attractive two-horse race and dominating all titles in the highest tournament of the country nicknamed the Three Lions.

Liverpool's golden age was during the 1970s and 1980s when they brought home 11 English league titles.

However, since their 18th crowning in the highest league in the UK in the 1989-1990 season, although Liverpool has been very successful in the European arena, in the domestic tournament, the Red Devils of Merseyside have had to wait for the Premier League championship for more than 28 years.

There were times when they had the chance to get close to the throne, but unfortunately they missed it due to their mistakes and silly mistakes. There were two times when they led the Premier League rankings at Christmas. And then when recalling those failures, it still left a bitter taste, a deep regret for the fans of the Anfeld team.

This season, the team led by Jurgen Klopp once again finished the first half of the English top flight in the top position. They have created a safe gap with the 2nd and 3rd ranked teams Tottenham and Manchester City, respectively, of 6 points and 7 points.

This is a score gap that is very difficult to fill when the German strategist's team is showing very impressive form, they are the only team unbeaten after 19 rounds of the highest tournament in the foggy country. The Kop - the team that scored the most goals and also the team that conceded the fewest goals.

Besides the impressive achievements, the Red Devils of Merseyside have known how to overcome the weaknesses they often have in the most important stages of the season, which is losing points to lower-ranked teams.

To achieve an unbeaten record throughout the 19 matches played, in addition to Jurgen Klopp building a style of play with the brand name gegenpressing for The Kop, the Red Devils of Merseyside brought to the field very high-quality new players including goalkeeper Alisson Becker, center-back Virgil van Dijk to reinforce the defense which is considered Liverpool's biggest weakness, preventing them from reaching the domestic championship for nearly 3 decades.

Not only playing solidly in defense and midfield, the German strategist's team possesses stars who dominate the midfield such as Xherdan Shaqiri, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Fabinho... these are indispensable pieces in the way The Kop plays. They are not only good at competing but also provide sharp passes to put their teammates in favorable positions to score.

Up front, the super trio of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino are still coordinating very well together and showing the habit of scoring regularly in matches, they are ready to destroy and tear apart any defense of the teams playing in the highest league of the foggy country. Although they do not always start together, every time they are on the field, they cannot stop scoring.

Up to now, this super trio combined with Xherdan Shaqiri has a total of 29 goals and 12 assists combined. This is a very impressive number and shows the harmony of the players playing highest on the attack line of The Kop.

Overall, the Anfeld team is showing a total play style, both offensive and defensive, like a machine that is ready to sweep away all obstacles that prevent them from reaching the championship when the season officially ends. This is a necessary and sufficient condition for a champion of the highest league in the foggy country.

According to statistics from the last 4 seasons, if any team wins the first leg of the Premier League, they will end the season as champions. The Kop has a huge advantage as they are currently dominating the rankings after half of the season has passed.

According to the Vietnamese concept of “Three times is too much”, after the lessons learned from the past, this time the Red Devils of Merseyside will not follow the same mistakes as before. The prospect of the King of England returning to the throne after nearly 3 decades of waiting when the season officially ends is within reach of The Kop.
