Chapter 28: Liverpool Derby (2)
"George, you have to pay attention, Everton's goalkeeper is Martin, this Martin is very strong, in the UK, is known as Seaman's successor, Martin has a fast reaction and strong defensive ability, this level should be paid attention to, pay attention to the angle when shooting, of course I don't tell you to do this for the whole game, in short, you look at it yourself. At the same time, you have to remember that no matter how good Martin is, he is currently 35 years old, although the goalkeeper is the most relaxed player on the pitch, and at the same time the least physically exhausted. But Martin is already old, his physical condition must not be good, and when it comes to our Liverpool's crazy attack, no matter how good Martin is, he can't guarantee that he can concentrate throughout the game, and at the same time, his physical energy will be quickly consumed, which you have to pay attention to and take advantage of. ”
Houllier saw George nodding in understanding, and at the same time looked at several of today's main midfielders, the meaning couldn't be clearer, not only the forwards, but you midfielders also need to pay attention.
Seeing Hollier's sharp eyes, Gerald, Murphy and the others hurriedly nodded to show that they understood.
Seeing this, Houllier retracted his gaze with satisfaction, continued to stare at the materials prepared for him by assistant coach Thompson, and began to speak.
"As for Everton's midfielders, in addition to the Danish Graveson, you also need to pay attention to Kilbane, if I guessed correctly, Everton plays against us, Gravison is the core of Everton's midfield defense, then Kilbani is the attacking core, but Kilbani is not too good, even if I don't say it, I believe you know what to do. With that in mind, let's talk about Everton's forward line. ”
As he spoke, Houllier's eyes naturally drifted to several Liverpool defenders, Hyypia and Henkez and Dudek, seeing Houllier's gaze, also hurriedly sat down, making a deaf look, which made Houllier very satisfied.
"Everton's striker, a Scotsman Alex Ferguson, Ao ~ Don't think wrong, I'm not talking about Old Trafford, but Ferguson of Everton, do you understand?"
Speaking of this, Houllier couldn't help but make a joke, which made the Liverpool players laugh. Looking at the laughter of his players, Houllier nodded with satisfaction, a good coach is not only to put pressure on the players, sometimes it is also very important to give the players a relaxation.
"Although this Ferguson does not have the ability to command the team at Old Trafford, this Ferguson's attacking ability, I'm afraid Manchester United's one, can't be compared. Not only Ferguson, but also Everton's other striker, Bent, cannot be taken lightly. These two guys have a strong offensive ability, Hyypia, you must pay attention, especially these two guys, Ferguson 191cm, Bent 188cm, the bodies of the two guys make the two have strong air supremacy, you must pay attention to this. ”
Listening to Houllier's words, Hyypia and Henkz couldn't help nodding, after all, the height of Ferguson and Bent noticed that the two were typical center forwards, so that both Ferguson and Bent were destined to have a direct dialogue with Henkerz and Hyypia, two central defenders.
Of course, Hyypia and Henkez will not be afraid, after all, the two are also typical tall and dragged central defenders, and when it comes to air supremacy, both of them believe in their own strength.
"Dudek, don't just focus on defending each other's headers just because the two are tall, on the contrary, these two guys are also very good at their feet, you have to pay attention."
For Houllier's warning, Dudek nodded very seriously, in fact, even if Houllier didn't say it, Dudek would not be careless, only caring about the headers of the two, and forgetting the skills of the two feet, after all, an excellent goalkeeper, in a whole game, I am afraid that among all the players in the entire field, the most concentrated one.
There is no way to do it, who let the goalkeeper directly be the team's last line of defense, if Dudek has a slack and let the opponent score, I am afraid that Dudek's position in Liverpool will not be so stable in the future. After all, goalkeepers generally claim that 30 years old is the golden age, why, not because 30-year-old goalkeepers are experienced and stable.
"Okay, boys, I won't say much nonsense, anyway, my request is very simple, that is, to kill the damn Everton, if anyone dares not to contribute in the game, I can announce it now, this season's cold bench, you are seated, do you understand?"
Houllier's threat made everyone feel that the stability of the entire locker room had dropped a lot, and even felt a little cold. Listening to Houllier's words, everyone replied loudly.
At this moment, even George, who has never participated in a Liverpool derby, began to become enthusiastic with the words of manager Houllier and the reactions of his teammates.
This is the real football, this is the derby! George's eyes showed a bloodthirsty gaze, and he thought to himself.
"Hello everyone, this is Goodson Park, the fifteenth round of the Premier League is about to be staged, and this time Everton is at home, welcoming the city's rival Liverpool, the collision of the two teams is destined to be a fierce game."
There were still a few minutes left at the start of the game, and the on-site commentator began to explain non-stop, perhaps because this game was a Liverpool derby, and even the on-site commentator was replaced by a neutral fan, and at the same time, Liverpool City also made a special trip to exclude nearly 500 riot police from coming to Goodson Park, in order to prevent accidents.
The commentator was commenting outside, while the players of Everton and Liverpool were standing in the players' tunnel at the moment, not saying a word, standing coldly and coldly. If it weren't for the murderous aura on the players on both sides from time to time to remind George, otherwise, George would really think that he was alone in the players' tunnel.
"This isn't your damn Anfield, this is Goodson Park, you guys have to be careful when you play, don't have any accidents, don't blame me for not warning you!"
The oppressive atmosphere in the player tunnel was broken with the words of Everton's captain, the Dane Graveson, when the Liverpool players heard Graveson's words, they turned their heads and glared angrily, after all, this is a naked threat, and it is also a captain threat of sworn enemies, and the brave Liverpudlians are certainly not afraid of the other party's threat.
As the Liverpool players glared at Graveson one by one, the Everton players did not show weakness, and also turned their heads to stare at the Liverpool players, as if as long as one of the Liverpool players had excessive behavior, they were ready to fight.
Hearing Graveson's words, as Liverpool's captain Hyypia, he immediately understood in his heart that this was Graveson's psychological warfare, and the purpose of saying this was to create psychological pressure on Liverpool players, especially George and Gerrard, young players who participated in the Liverpool derby for the first time, so that their teammates could not play because of the burden during the game.
Thinking of this, Hyypia knew what she needed to do, smiled and said: "Hehe, who is Everton, I don't know, I only know that the boss of Everton is very rich, and he bought a mad dog from Denmark that barks and bites, I don't know if you know about it?" ”
"Hahahaha!!" With Hyypia's words, Liverpool's players suddenly burst into laughter, and Gravison, who was attacked by Hyypia, was angry, angrily walked a few steps towards Hyypia and said fiercely: "Finn, do you want to fight?" ”
"If you want, I'll accompany you, Danish mad dog!"
"What do you say, you say it again, Lao Tzu abolished your 。。。。。。"
"What about you, you kid don't accept it!"
The players of the two teams suddenly began to curse each other, and when they were almost about to start a fight, the referees standing at the front of the two teams finally couldn't help but stand up and shouted: "You all pay attention, don't have nothing to do here." Otherwise, I really don't mind if you haven't played yet, and just send you out! ”
Hearing the referee's words, the emotions of the players on both sides began to calm down, of course, it was not completely regarded as nothing, but both sides suppressed the anger in their hearts in their hearts, and were ready to teach each other a good lesson when the game was played.
Although the two sides were still suppressed by the referee, George knew from the situation that the two sides almost started just now that the game waiting for the meeting was not easy to play, and the hot atmosphere of the city derby battle had begun to burn completely from the players' tunnel!
