So far, Inter evokes conflicting emotions among its fans at the start of the new season. And offensively, the Nerazzurri look incredibly powerful, but the defense is weak. In the first round Antonio Conte’s team miraculously snatched a home victory over Fiorentina (4:3), scoring twice in the end of the match. Then “Inter” “shot” away “Benevento” (5:2). In the last round, the black-blue parted with the capital Lazio (1:1) in Rome.
Liverpool’s start in the new championship was generally good. The Reds won three out of four league matches and also performed well in the League Cup. However, the defeat to Aston Villa in the last round with a crushing 2:7 score looks too bright to ignore. The fiasco was the biggest in Jurgen Klopp’s coaching career and the number of goals conceded by Liverpool is the biggest since Bill Shankly and 1963. However, in other league matches, the Reds dealt with Chelsea (2-0) at Stamford Bridge, defeated Arsenal (3-1) and defeated Leeds (4:3). With nine points, Klopp’s team is in fifth place. In the League Cup Liverpool defeated Lincoln (7:2), but in the next match lost on penalties to Arsenal. At the start of the season defense looks like a screaming problem for the Reds. Liverpool have conceded 11 goals in four games. Only West Brom have more missed goals. This problem promises to remain relevant for at least another two months. That is how much Alisson was out of order. He is accompanied in the infirmary by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Nabi Keita is trying to cure the coronavirus. But Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip and Sadio Mane returned to service. On the road, Liverpool’s stats don’t look particularly rosy either. The Reds have won only three of their last eight Premier League games.
