[Premier League] Liverpool was reversed by Brighton to thank the "supplier"?

8:03am, 21 May 2025【Football】

In the early morning of May 20, a goal battle was staged in a 37th round of the Premier League. The new champion Liverpool led the way twice away, but was eventually reversed by Brighton, who ranked eighth, 2-3. Since securing the Premier League championship this season, Liverpool has only 1 draw and 2 losses in the last three league rounds.

Eliott took the lead for Liverpool just 9 minutes into the game. In the 32nd minute, Brighton midfielder Ayari equalized the score. In the injury time in the first half, Liverpool midfielder Sobosloy scored a cool leaf-falling ball, and the pass-through shot helped the new champion lead again. Liverpool coach Slott hugged his head with both hands and expressed incredible results for Sobosloy's wonderful goal. In the 69th minute, Brighton winger Misatsu, who had just come on as a substitute, scored 2-2. In the 85th minute, Sanzao-kun passed the ball to the left, O'Reilly made a cross, and midfielder Sinchelwood, who had just come out of the bench, scored the winning goal for Brighton.

Brighton is a famous talent training base in the Premier League. Liverpool's main midfielder McAllister joined from Brighton in the summer of 2023. Although Brighton is called a "black store" by many fans, McAllister's transfer fee for joining Liverpool is only 42 million euros, which is a conscientious price. The current market valuation of the Argentine international is as high as 90 million euros.

Also in the summer of 2023, Brighton sold McAllister's midfield partner Kesedo to Chelsea. The transfer fee of 116 million euros was obviously higher. His current market valuation of 80 million euros is not as good as McAllister. Liverpool planned to "package" the introduction of Kesaido in 2023, but has never competed for Chelsea, which has bid higher, which has helped "raising prices" for Kesaido. Liverpool has a good relationship with "supplier" Brighton, and after winning the championship in advance, he gave his opponent 3 points without any harm.

For Liverpool, it is not important to get points in this game. The most regrettable thing is that it did not help the striker Salah "sweep" the goal. Salah wasted two excellent scoring opportunities in this game. Salah, who was determined to score, failed to score, and Sobosloy, who was unwilling to score, explained his cool goal after the game: "To be honest, it was actually a cross. I won't lie, but I'm very happy to help the team." Coincidentally, La Liga new champion Barcelona also likes to give points after winning the championship in advance. As long as the clubs with a bad relationship can often grab points from the new champion. In the La Liga match on May 19, Barcelona lost 2-3 to Villarreal at home, and the six-game winning streak was ended, helping the "Yellow Submarine" to lock in the top five in La Liga, which is the ticket to the Champions League next season.

Barcelona won the La Liga championship four rounds ahead of schedule in the 2022-2023 season, and only won 1 win and 3 losses in the last four rounds of La Liga, including Valladolid, who lost 1-3 away to the final relegation. After a team wins the championship ahead of schedule, the coach often rotates the lineup, allowing some marginal players to get exercise opportunities, avoiding the main players being too tired or injured, and giving away points is a high probability event. The new champion gives points and gives feelings, which can not only thank the previous players for their transactions, but also promote new players for their transactions.
