It’s so fantasy! The 8-point difference was evened out in 3 games, Manchester United overtook Liverpool, Amorim is really better than Slott

Sometimes, reality is really more magical than the script.

At the end of the 5th round of the Premier League, the defending champion Liverpool led the pack with the only record of 5 wins in 5 games in the Premier League; while the Red Devils Manchester United had a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the 5 rounds, with only 7 points, ranking 11th.

If your mobile phone screen is not long enough, you can’t see Manchester United’s ranking in the Premier League standings at a glance.

At that time, Liverpool was considered to be the strongest team in the Premier League - the dual blessing of the defending champion team + heavy signings in the summer window, and the aura of immortality with consecutive kills. Coach Slott is on the road to surpassing Klopp.

What about Manchester United at that time? The industry has already given all the titles of the worst coach in history to Amorim. The reason why Sir Ratcliffe did not let Amorim pack up and leave is mainly based on the following two considerations: the liquidated damages are too high and no one will take over.

Thus, Amorim was able to keep his job.

However, football is so magical. In the 6th round of the Premier League, Liverpool encountered Crystal Palace with a countdown victory and was defeated; Manchester United was beaten by Brentford and continued to explore the bottom. One of the two major hegemons in English football was curbed in their forward momentum, and the other was thrown into a bottomless abyss. There seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

But who would have thought that this would be a watershed in Slott and Amorim's personal Premier League coaching.

In the 7th round of the Premier League, Liverpool was defeated by Chelsea again, and Manchester United struggled to defeat newly promoted Sunderland. The fate of the two coaches was intertwined in the double red meeting after the international match.

In the highlight of the 8th round of the Premier League, Manchester United defeated Liverpool at Anfield, breaking the embarrassing history of nine previous defeats. The result of this double red meeting marks Slott's complete failure in cutting off from Klopp, and the tactical reforms implemented by Amorim have begun to bear fruit.

But even so, Liverpool is still ranked higher than Manchester United, but only has a 2-point lead. Although they vaguely felt that Manchester United was gaining momentum, no one would have thought that the overtaking trend would come so quickly.

In the 9th round of the Premier League, Manchester United played before Liverpool. Relying on the gradually taking shape of the tactical system, Manchester United defeated Brighton 4-2 at Old Trafford. Amorim won his first three-game winning streak after coaching Manchester United. However, Liverpool was defeated 3-2 by Brentford at Griffin Park and suffered a four-game losing streak in the Premier League.

Manchester City relied on a wave of 3 consecutive victories to overtake Liverpool, which had lost all 4 rounds, and rose to the fourth position in the points, while Liverpool fell to sixth.

Competitive sports have always had winners and losers. The reputations of Slott and Amorim have undergone a dramatic reversal in just one month.

Amorim, needless to say, after all, this young coach who has become famous in European football in recent years still has two skills. When he decided to take over the mess left by Ten Hag, the authoritative football media regarded him as the best candidate to lead Manchester United out of the quagmire.

The focus is on Slott, the rookie who miraculously won the Premier League last season relying entirely on the lineup left by Klopp. Now he has firmly hit the championship wall. His rush to cut with Klopp backfired and failed completely. ,

Now it seems that Liverpool has more troubles than Manchester United. After 4 consecutive losses, Liverpool fell directly out of the championship zone. Although the season is long, it now seems difficult for Slott to find a solution in the short term. Liverpool's next schedule is not easy, and Slott may be dismissed if he is not careful.

If this is the case, it would be much more interesting than the rankings of the two teams.
