Premier League started his way to world domination with a run for the title between Manchester United, Aston Villa, Norwich, Blackburn Rovers and Nottingham Forest. Arsenal then became United`s antagonist before relinquishing his role as Chelsea fellow, and then the Petrodollars put the picture in Manchester City.
Looking at history from Premier League`s creation, we can find fascinating battles between two brilliant and hard-working teams. None of them, however, can surpass the purely qualitative qualities of this year`s Manchester City and Liverpool competition, whose direct collision with Etihad this Thursday puts the irreversible takeover of the pendulum towards Merside on the one hand and reviving the Champion`s hopes of defending its titlefrom another.
Seriously, we have never witnessed such a clash in January between one team in a clear rhythm and the other -struggling with teeth and claws to stay in power. A collision between two symphonic styles, eq ual in its positivism and courage, although different in a way of applying.
Liverpool is no longer that genspiring team that we thought Juergen Klop was building. The leader in the table is so good that he no longer has to persecute his rivals as a mad dog. Klop`s boys today dominate matches via arbitrage betting advices at all points on the pitch, including their last third. With the presence of Virginie Van Dijk and Alison no longer need to put the final defensive line to the center of the court and press high. On the flanks, backs Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold quickly and elegantly tie the game while doing the main job in the defense four, helping to score only eight goals in 20 games.
This evolution from a one-sided team to a staggering strategy has led to the presence of a mating power and beauty team in which the well-known deadly trident in attack is ass isted by impenetrable defense and overcoming painting central midfield. Behind the tidal wave, Fabigno, Ginny Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson were raised to the maximum of their abilities, and above, by the amazing football all around them.
And those others are not the worst. In Manchester City, they made their evolutionary jump in 2018 with the addition of passes and more passes, while their ballless movement did not leave their rivals with the feeling of being drunk on top of a skyscraper. Joe Guardiola`s shock and horror approach led to the first 100-point season in Premier League history and left us wondering if there is any weakness in the team that has not yet shown us in the eyes.
Well, the games in the festive program revealed it. Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Leicester City scored three victories in the four games of the Citizens, making it the red match on January 3 in the title defense final right at the start of the year. In order to become England`s champion for the first time in 29 years, Liverpool needs only (just how difficult it sounds like this complicated task) to remain as powerful as it has been since August. Does City need to get back?
