Live broadcast, August 5th, Michael Owen tweeted today, explaining his previous reasons for predicting the ranking of the Premier League in the new season.
Earlier Owen predicted that Manchester City would win the Premier League championship in the new season, Arsenal ranked second, Liverpool ranked third, Manchester United ranked fourth, Chelsea ranked fifth and Tottenham Hotspur ranked ninth. As for his choice, he explained on Twitter: “My prediction has received some interesting replies. There is no doubt that some replies will definitely hit me in the face, but this is the fun of prediction, next, I will further elaborate my thoughts.”
“I almost chose Arsenal as the champion. The Gunners seemed to be really strong competitors, and they also did a good job in recruiting. The gap between them and Manchester City in the league last season was not big, but this summer they made greater progress. However, Manchester City is one of the best teams we have ever seen. As long as they can keep their desire after completing the almost impossible task of the treble, it will be difficult for them to be defeated.”
“I chose Liverpool and Manchester United to win the third and fourth place respectively, but they all have some questions to answer. The overall performance of these two teams last season was not satisfactory. Liverpool’s midfield has taken a new look. They may also continue to imitate Manchester City and Arsenal (Manchester City has looked forward now), occasionally use a side guard to play in midfield. This may work, but I like the former Liverpool. I have spared no effort to force them from the front court, creative side guards and so on. I am very worried that they will give up those things that lead them to the top. Manchester United followed the recent trend and bought a scavenger goalkeeper, which seemed to be a good deal. At the other end, they fill an important position that they have been eager to strengthen. If hoilun de succeeds, then Manchester United will have a chance.”
