Although the current Blues Chelsea are not as strong as Abou when he became chairman of Chelsea, the current Chelsea is definitely a powerhouse in the Premier League, and it is a team that any team will have a headache when it encounters.

Headache is a headache, but the game still has to be played after all, and the day after the game against Manchester United, Houllier came to London with all the Liverpool players, ready to start recuperating and preparing for this game.

"Chelsea are not easy to deal with!" Looking at the Chelsea materials prepared by assistant coach Thompson, Houllier's brow couldn't help but furrow. Because it is very clear in the information that although the current Chelsea is not as good as its own Liverpool, nor as good as Arsenal and Manchester United, Chelsea's strength is undoubted, and it is definitely a strong team.

Especially in recent games, Chelsea have won five games in a row, including strong teams such as Fulham and Newcastle United, which shows that Chelsea's current momentum is strong.

'yes, Chelsea are not easy to play, especially the talented midfielder Frank Lampard that Chelsea has just brought in this season, he is definitely a world-class player. Regarding Lampard, I also have to say that Ranieri guy, not to mention anything else, is still relatively accurate just to look at people, and he is very decisive, otherwise he would not have directly bought Lampard with more than 10 million. ”

Listening to the words of assistant coach Thompson next to him, Houllier couldn't help frowning, and carefully looked at the information Thompson gave him, especially several important players from Chelsea, among which Lan Chelsea's backfield core, grandpa is captain Desailly, midfielder Lampard and forward veteran Zola has the most information.

"Forget it, no matter what he does so much, no matter how difficult it is, he still has to fight, prepare well, no matter who the opponent is, we Liverpool will definitely not be afraid."

Thinking about the fact that his team is no worse than Chelsea, or even stronger, Houllier feels that he doesn't need to worry too much. However, this does not mean that Houllier is arrogant, on the contrary, Houllier is very clear that if he wants to beat Chelsea, he must first freeze the core of the opponent's midfield, Frank Lampard.

Although Zola is very good, after all, he is old and old, and he cannot guarantee that he will continue to run for the ball like a young player, and he needs to rely on the midfielder to feed the ball. As for Desailly, although he is very good, he is only a defender, and at most he is a threat when he takes a corner from Chelsea.

The next day's team training, Houllier made a special trip to let Gerrard and Hamann as partners to practice joint defense, and when it was time to play, he used the two joint defense to freeze Lampard.

Although Frank Lampard used two players alone, Houllier still thinks it is worth it, after all, Liverpool have lost Hamann and Gerrard, and Maxlitt and Murphy are not bad. But Chelsea are different, without Frank Lampard's organisation, their attacking power will be at least halved.

In fact, it is not only Gerrard and Hamann who are practicing joint defense, but at the same time, Houllier also has the characteristics of Gudjohnsen, allowing the team's defenders to practice in a targeted manner. Of course, for Zola, Chelsea's most terrifying killer, Houllier did not dare to despise it at all, and directly planned to let Henkez be Zola's bodyguard in the game, protecting (defending) the whole field.

George and the others were naturally inevitably pulled aside by Hollier, and Hyypia was in charge and began the practice of physical confrontation.

I have to say that Hyypia's body is very strong, especially after receiving orders from head coach Houllier, facing several forwards such as George and Owen, all of them are physical, and they are very savagely cut off a few feet of football.

It can be said that Hyypia's defense is very fierce, if George didn't know that Hyypia did this at the behest of head coach Holier, I am afraid that they really thought that they had accidentally offended Hyypia somewhere, which made Hyypia so fierce to himself, almost wanting to spend his legs.

"Damn, I said Sammy, although the manager made you do this, you don't need to be so serious, you almost killed me right now."

Hyypia made a fierce sliding shovel and put it directly on Litmanen, sitting on the ground, Litmanen looked at the good buddy who was smiling at him, and couldn't help but say.

Don't talk about the thrill just now, if it weren't for Litmanen's quick reaction, I'm afraid that as long as he was one step slower, he would have been wasted by Hyypia.

"Hehe~ Dude, don't say that, this is what the head coach ordered, as a moral professional player, I can't help but obey the head coach's arrangement, and besides, I still pay more attention to the scale, you look very embarrassed, but you haven't suffered any real harm at all. Besides, I'm good for you, you know, that damn Gallas at Chelsea won't be as polite as I am. ”

Both are Finns, and Hyypia has the best relationship with one country in the entire Liverpool team, of course, Litmanen, hearing Litmanen, Hyypia smiled with a thief.

Hearing Hyypia's words, Litmanen looked at Hypia with suspicious eyes, and now Hyypia was not abnormal, nor did he say anything, he spat and began to continue training.

Watching Litmanen turn around and walk away, Hyypia couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time secretly thought in his heart: Let you boys be very arrogant, boast about how powerful you are all day long, no defender can stop you, today I finally have this opportunity, I can fight you to the death, not to play with you, how can I be worthy of myself.

George saw Litmanen getting up from the ground depressed, ready to continue training, and couldn't help but glance at Owen beside him. Damn, it seems that the hard days are not over yet, even Litmanen can't help it, what can he say to Hypia, let's continue to practice and let Hypia ravage.

As the training continued, for a while Hyypia made George and the others turn their backs, and George felt very depressed, but Hyypia felt very happy.

In the end, if it weren't for the head coach Houllier who saw the training of several people, he was indeed a little too serious, afraid that some players would be injured before the game, so he hurriedly asked a few people to stop training, and in the grateful eyes of the forwards, announced the end of the training and began physical recovery training.

With the progress of the Premier League schedule, the players have gone through a long campaign, and it can be said that the physical consumption is very huge, and the players in all positions of the current team can be said to be seriously deficient in terms of physical fitness. Houllier also didn't want his players to spend all their precious energy on training, and began to let the players start physical recovery training. Although Hollier also knows that in just such a day, he will not recover much, but it is better to recover a little bit than nothing.

As night fell the next day, countless Chelsea fans began to walk from all directions towards their holy land, Stamford Bridge, because their team welcomed Liverpool at home today, and Chelsea fans hoped that their team could win at home and give themselves a Christmas present in advance.

Maybe it's because Chelsea's results are so good at the moment, which is a big boost to the Blues fans, or because the Blues fans want to see how their side win at home to Liverpool, but Stamford Bridge was packed today.

The cold did not stop the enthusiasm of the fans, in the Stamford Bridge stadium, the fans used their enthusiasm, constantly singing the Chelsea team song, and the on-site commentators also explained the history of the two teams, and at the same time made their own judgments on the arrangement of the managers of the two sides, in short, the whole scene was very lively.
