Chapter 5: Against Arsenal......
After Asad return to USA. He celebrated his father birthday. He Also has meetings with his new employee's. As they start to keep Tap's on any big city or potential big team is up for sale in USA.
Asad want to have a team in all big sports event in USA as .
NBA. ( Team he want to get are from these Knicks, Clippers, Nets, warrior anyone will do).
Mlb. ( Team he wants to get are from these Angles, Doggers, Mets, Yankees anyone will do).
Major league Soccer. ( His team is already in talks with him wanting to add new team to MLS).
NFL ( He want one team that is new York's Gaints)
He also have the idea of making Liverpool football group like Man city had in future by buying club's outside main 5 leagues. So The days were in USA passed very quickly because most of time he had to do work some little time free was left he was mostly watching premier league club's Pre season matches. Liverpool had a mixed results winning 4 and losing 3 matches in pre season.
Some players performed very well in pre season like bale, modric , Suarez, Alba
some were poor as well Walker, D Silva, Ramos,
Other players played some good some bad games but Asad didn't took it to heart because he knew even if he signed good players but they will take time to become unit and play klopp style football effectively. He already set goal for this season is that go as far as we can go in cups and Europa league and premier league A European place ( Champion league or Europa league it given to top 6 teams in premier league) Will do .
Asad thought a lot about it and thinked this was a good enough goal for this new season on 12 august Asad return to Liverpool from USA.
He held meeting with klopp and told him his expectations also asked klopp of he needs anything in training ground or anything else he can tell Adam I have already given him orders that anything you think will make our players better and perform best he would provide you. Also you have full control of Locker room you have final say in team I will not ask anything from you during seasons. You can use team as you like. Hearing Asad words huge burden was lifted from klopp shoulders because he thought maybe Asad will try to let him play in certain way but now he had full free dom so klopp also decided that he would play his own style of football in team. And try to teach them effectively as soon as possible.
on the other hand as premier league was getting near it's start there was a lot of noise about 1st weekend Because it's was Liverpool first match after summer spending spree Liverpool spends over 300 million in signings. and the match was against Title contender Arsenal. A lot of people didn't give Liverpool chance because they are new players and new coaching staff so most of experts were giving Liverpool final position in league about 9 to 5 in between them..
Everyone has same reasons but believed that Liverpool will really start pushing in later stage of premier league season and will be real contender for champion league places next season.
Liverpool fans were happy because they didn't expect Asad to spend so much money and sign some great player's. But there was also worry about this season because the players sign by Liverpool most of them showed great promise but they are young and in new team with new teammates and new coach some anyone didn't know where would they go from here. Most fans also thought that Liverpool will be great next season but this season it would be medicore .
Asad didn't have those worries because he knows klopp once he teach these players his style of football theory. Liverpool team will be strongest and most dangerous team in world football.
Asad also had some hope for opening game because he knows Liverpool can do miracles specially klopp Liverpool and arsenal were there favorite team until arteta rebuilt them.He was hoping that klopp will give Arsenal a huge surprise.
On 15 of August....
in Liverpool the stadium was full of Liverpool supporters they come 2 hours early today because the new players will be presented before them today. The ceremony was finished last player to come was Ramos as most expensive player in club history as well . world most expensive defender. Liverpool supporters were singing ( you will never walk alone.....).
The atmosphere was great new season bring new hope. And new expectations as they hope that in Asad ownership they can end there premier league nightmare from last 2 decades. And can also challenge for titles .
The starting line up for Liverpool was out.
Gk: Neuer
RB: Walker. CB: Ramos. CB: Hummel's. Lb: Alba
RCM:D.silva. CM: Modric . LCM: Gerrard ( C )
RW: Reus. ST: Suarez. LW: G.Bale.
When Asad enter his private seat and looked at the starting Xl he was surprised but smiled as he thought what klopp want to do to arsenal because arsenal play possession style football they often get counter attacking football played against them but seeing this Liverpool line up Asad was sure it will be Liverpool Man city in first time meeting in champion league where city were dominating but lost badly because Liverpool counter attack.
Now he was just prying that players can play best.
most likely Liverpool will win the match.
Because Liverpool Pace was great( with pace in Dortmund and Bayern killed real Madrid and Barcelona to reach champion league final).
Arsenal side was mostly there old side they didn't spend much money this season like they did in previous seasons. Wanger and klopp shakes hands and reus started the First match of 10/11 season.....
