Chapter 24: A Great Victory
I don't know if the reporters at the scene really didn't photograph the goal just now, whether George had a foul, or if someone even photographed it, but didn't take it out. In short, on the big screen at the scene, George's goal just now was slowly broadcast from several different angles, and there was no obvious foul action from George.
"It's slander, it's wronged, damn Svensson, I had a little sympathy at first, but now I'm feeling unusually angry, and I even wonder if someone like this has the character of a professional footballer, who was scored by our prince and complained about George's foul."
The commentators kept mocking Svensson, but the Liverpool fans were more realistic, with huge boos that were louder and louder when Svensson got there.
You must know that the stadium in the United Kingdom is the smallest stadium in the world, and fans may not be able to live three meters away from the stadium, and some stadiums even rely only on billboards as fences. This led Svensson to get there, and the Liverpool fans on the sidelines kept sending Svensson insults in every way they could think of them.
All this made Svensson feel very angry, and his heart was full of anger towards Liverpool fans, of course, the first to bear the brunt of it was George, who was standing in the midfield, and Svensson couldn't help but show a trace of anger.
The game started again, but because the first half was almost over, neither Liverpool nor Southampton had any idea of continuing to fight, and could only kick each other in midfield and start to stall for time.
The referee looked at the reactions of the players on both sides, and naturally knew that both sides were waiting for the end of the first half of the game, seeing this situation, the referee was also very sensible, the original 4 minutes of overtime, less than half a minute, hurriedly blew the whistle at the end of the first half.
"How do you know I'm going to pass the ball to you, and shoot straight without even adjusting,, don't say you don't know."
In the dressing room, George asked Gerrard, who was beside him.
"Cut, you underestimate me too much, you have to know who I am, the greatest midfielder in the world, like that pass you just now, it's really bad, if it weren't for my quick reaction and good skills, otherwise, would that goal go in!"
Gerrard held his head high, looked at the ceiling arrogantly, and said with a look of awesomeness, according to Gerald's meaning, it is: The ball you passed by George is a fart, if it weren't for my own strength, that ball wouldn't have scored at all, you met my fate, and picked up an assist for nothing.
Looking at Gerald's arrogant look, George couldn't help but stretch out his middle finger to Gerald. Damn~ I've seen shameless, but I've never seen a shameless one like Gerald.
"Okay, okay, everyone, be quiet, let's talk about how the second half of the game will be played."
Houllier clapped his hands to interrupt the players' chats as he began to set up the second half.
"First of all, I want to say, gentlemen, you did a good job in the first half, very good. Hopefully you can build on in the second half like you did in the first half. In fact, Southampton's strength is not a level of opponent compared to us, everyone relaxes to play, you know, our opponents are only Arsenal and Manchester United, of course, there is a sworn enemy, believe me I don't say that everyone knows. ”
Listening to Houllier's words, Liverpool's players couldn't help laughing, and they also understood who Houllier's sworn enemy was, naturally it was the sworn enemy of the same city, Everton, according to what the chairman of Liverpool said, as long as Everton was not relegated to the Championship and met in the Premier League, Lao Tzu would rather not win the league championship, but also want the team to fight Everton.
"Of course, although the opponent is not as strong as us, I don't want to see you underestimate the opponent, you know that football is round, anything can happen, I don't want to see Southampton turn the tables in the second half, you know? If I see who is careless, then my bench is waiting to recognize the master. ”
Houllier made the players relax and threatened at the same time, which made George on the side hear Houllier's words, and he had to sigh that Houllier's carrot and stick policy was really in place.
"Yes! Coach" Hearing Houllier's words, Liverpool's players replied loudly, after all, as long as they are professional players, no one wants to be a cold bench.
"Okay, since that's the case, let's take a break and recover our strength. In short, the opponent will definitely attack in the second half, anyway, we are now two goals ahead, in that case, then we will play a counterattack in the second half. Gerrard, Murphy, Maxlit, George and Litmaning, you guys, you have to get me running in the second half. ”
Listening to Hollier's words, the few people who were named didn't say anything, just nodded to indicate that they knew.
"Okay, now that everyone is clear, then I don't have anything to say, let's take a break." After saying this, Houllier stood up and no longer arranged the deployment, so as not to affect the rest of the players.
Because Houllier knows very well that his players are very experienced players, even if they don't say anything, the players naturally know what to do on the pitch.
"George, you played really well in the first half and I hope you can keep that up and get more wins for the team."
Originally, Houllier wanted to get out of the locker room, after all, he was in the locker room, and the players were afraid that they would also be restrained.
But when Houllier walked to the door, he thought of George's play in the first half and couldn't help but say. Indeed, George's current performance in the first half of the game is indeed very good, one goal and one assist, I am afraid that the best player in this game is none other than George.
"Got it, Coach." George, who was still joking with Gerald, was stunned for a moment when he heard Houllier's words, and then immediately reacted and replied.
Hearing George's words, Hollier also smiled with great satisfaction and walked out of the locker room.
The short half-time break passed quickly, and the second half of the game between the two teams also started again with the referee's whistle.
Houllier's guess was not wrong, and at the start of the game, Southampton began to attack like Liverpool were unprepared, hoping to pull a goal back.
It's a pity that Holier had already guessed this situation, and naturally made corresponding deployments. In the face of Southampton's frantic attack, Liverpool showed the composure that a strong team should have, and neutralized Southampton's attack again and again.
"Good chance, George received a long pass from Gerrard and began to dribble the ball towards the Southampton penalty area."
It turned out that Gerrard cut off Southampton's attack at the back and passed the ball directly over the top to Southampton's backfield.
As soon as the game began, Southampton began to attack aggressively, and even the defenders reached the position of the midfielder, which made Gerrard a long ball with a big foot, and the football went directly past all Southampton defenders, landed in no man's land, and began to slowly roll towards the goal.
The football is more than 20 metres away from Niemi, almost 10 metres from the nearest Southampton defender and a full 10 metres away from George.
At this time, whether it was George or Southampton's defenders, they began to chase the football frantically, and George's perverted speed was finally presented in front of Liverpool fans, especially without the ball, George relied on his explosive power, struggled to catch up with the football, and began to rush to the Southampton penalty area.
"Be careful!" George, who was running, suddenly heard Gerald's anxious shouts, and at the same time heard a low gasp in his ears. With Keegan's guidance, George naturally understood that Southampton players were chasing after him, and it looked like the opponent was already starting to tackle behind him.
Thinking of this, George did not hesitate at all, and quickly jumped up, trying to dodge the tackle behind him.
When George just jumped up, there was a huge force under his feet, which made George's body lose his balance and fall to the ground heavily, and the referee's whistle also sounded at this time.
It turned out that Svensson saw that there was no way to stop George's goal, and thinking of the insults that Liverpool fans and George had for him, Svensson, who had a hot brain for a while, directly slid to the end and tripped George.
A dazzling yellow card appeared in front of Svensson with the referee's hand, and before Svensson could react, the yellow card disappeared instantly, and a bright red card appeared again.
After accumulating two yellow cards, Svensson bowed his head and left the football pitch amid the earth-shattering boos of Liverpool fans.
"It's okay!" Gerrard looked at George nervously, and the rest of the Liverpool players looked at George equally nervously.
"It's okay, fortunately with your reminder, I jumped up in time, otherwise, I'm afraid I would really be ruined by that guy." George said fiercely, and at the same time his heart was full of anger towards Svensson.
You must know that if there is no reminder from Gerrard, with Svensson's fierce tackle just now, and the tackle from behind him, if George is not prepared and jumps up in time, then Svensson's foot can be shoveled in his heel, if he really lets Svensson shovel his heel, then he will definitely be injured, and it is a serious injury.
"Great, our little prince is fine, our little prince hasn't been hurt by the damn Svensson, praise be to God."
When George fell, all the Liverpool fans, whether they were on the scene or in front of the TV, couldn't help but tangle their hearts. You must know that for Liverpool fans during this time, George is irreplaceable.
After all, Liverpool's overall state is not good during this time, and George relies on his own efforts to save Liverpool again and again, in the minds of fans, George and Owen are the real darlings and idols of Liverpool when they come out of Liverpool's youth training camp, as for Husky who joined Liverpool, he is not a Liverpooler, of course, fans are more concerned and fond of George and Owen, two people who came out of their own team's youth training camp, after all, the two are also Liverpool's own people anyway.
If George is really injured because of Svensson's foul this time, it will definitely be a serious blow for Liverpool fans.
Hollier, who had been nervous, relaxed when he saw George stand up and say something to Gerald with a smile on his face. When George fell to the ground, not only the fans, but even Houllier couldn't help but feel nervous, after all, the current George is too important for Houllier and Liverpool.
Liverpool were awarded a free-kick 20 metres from goal, and in such a close area, a free-kick was definitely the biggest threat to the goal.
Standing in front of the ball, Murphy looked up at the goal and the human wall, and as the referee's whistle blew, Murphy kicked a large arc ball and flew directly towards the goal.
3:0, although Niemi also tried his best to save the ball, but unfortunately Murphy's ball was very fast, and the angle was also tricky, with a distance of 20 meters, so that even if Niemi reacted, he couldn't stop the football. With Murphy's goal, Anfield Stadium was once again a sea of joy.
