Liverpool comes after the failure of England Super Cup

The “cormorants” had an extremely agitated summer. In the first phase, everything seemed to go like wheels, the new champion of England being one of Europe's most active teams in terms of the Mercato area.

Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Hugo Ekitike and Milos Kerkez arrived in Anfield in the current transfer window, players for whom Liverpool has spent a total of over 300 million euros.

However, these moves were shaded by the tragic event that took place in early July, when Diogo Jota, one of the most important players of Arne Slot's band, died after a car accident, along with his brother Andre Silva.

Then came five training parties, Liverpool imposing in four of them. The only failure took place in front of AC Milan, even at the debut in the “Cormorant” shirt of Florian Wirtz, the most expensive transfer in the history of Premier League (125 million euros).

However, in the first official match of the season, played five days ago on Wembley, Arne Slot's band missed the chance to conquer the first trophy in the current campaign. The band from Anfield Road lost the Super Cup of England, 2-3 on penalties in front of Crystal Palace (2-2 after 90 minutes), a match in which the “cormorants” drove twice, with 1-0, respectively 2-1.

Bournemouth was one of the great surprises of the Premier League in the previous season

On the other hand, the “cherries” come after a season in which the results obtained exceeded all the expectations. Andoni Iraola's band ended in the 9th place in the Premier League, equating the best ranking in the club's history in the first English football level (Bournemouth managed this performance in the 2016/2017 campaign, when she was prepared by Eddie Howe, Newcastle's current coach).

However, the enthusiasm of the team has declined considerably with the competitive break, because the band on Vitality Stadium has lost four of the most important players.

This is the couple of central defenders Dejan Huijsen – Ilya Zabarnyi (transferred by Real Madrid, respectively by PSG), the left defender Milos Kerkez (bought by Liverpool) and goalkeeper Kepa Arizabalaga (who signed with Arsenal).

However, the management of the club did not stay with their hands in the breast, bringing valuable substitutes for these positions. Thus, at the disposal of Andoni Iraola, Bafode Diakite (Central defender from Lille), Djordje Petrovic – the former porter of Chelsea, respectively Adrien Truffert, left -hand defender from Stade Rennais.

Drawing the line, the sale-purchase difference brought Bournemouth a profit of about 110 million euros this summer.
