The opponents in the championship are all the bad. Are the Premier League and Serie A champions "picked"?

The "answer" of this year's five major leagues is highly consistent with the 2022/23 season, and only the ownership of the Premier League champion has changed. A team that barely waited for any reinforcements in the two transfer windows, a coach who was not optimistic when joining but was eventually shrouded in a magical halo, had a wonderful chemical reaction between the two, and Liverpool's 20th championship in the top league came unexpectedly.

In the 10th round of the Premier League on November 2, 2024, Liverpool reversed Brighton at home and topped the Premier League standings for the first time this season. Slott also believed that the Premier League championship battle was a matter between Manchester City and Arsenal. Unexpectedly, these two teams later failed one after another, and Liverpool finally reached the top with its continuous and stable performance.

From creating the "Maybach" combination to transforming Salah and Dias, Slott's military use gives people a sense of turning stones into gold. The lineup, which was once considered to have appeared, showed infinite vitality under his command. The Red Army in the Klopp era achieved an integrated offense and defense through high-level oppression. Slott's tactics emphasize moderate tension and relaxation - they can not only curb the opponent's fast attack through organized layers of defense, but also trap strong enemies by placing buses. In addition to improving the tactical level, Slott's team also reduced the risk of players' injuries through high-level training, and Liverpool finally relied on relying on a pocket rotation lineup to last until the end of the season. Liverpool's competitors are in a mess, and the Serie A strong teams outside Naples are also collectively depressed. Inter Milan and Atlanta fought to the point where they were out of ammunition and food during the multi-line attack. Juventus and AC Milan were chaotic by the constant internal friction. Rome's problem was that Julic and De Rossi dug too big, and Ranieri took office for too short. In the Serie A team's net worth ranking this season, Naples ranked fifth with only 356 million euros. Conte's team lacked "cards". They successfully counterattacked with their advantages in the schedule and strong internal cohesion.

The players sent away by Liverpool in the summer window can piece together a set of starters, and Napoli lost two loyal ministers in two windows. Slot could face it with a smile and make a judgment that "no signings are needed", but Conte couldn't help but question the high-level signing operations. Of course, while Conte was accustomed to attacking, he did not give up on the self-salvation on the green field. From putting aside the three-center-back formation, to building a "double center" structure around Lukaku and McTominay, to relying on Raspadori's magical performance to pass the levels continuously, Conte's flexibility at the tactical level is worthy of his reputation as the king of one-line.
