Chapter 79: The Emergence of the Group
At the end of the Four Nations Invitational Tournament, George and others did not get time to relax and rest, but instead hurried back to the Liverpool club and began to compete for the club's major events.
With his excellent performance in the national team, when George returned to Liverpool FC, during the game, manager Houllier gave George more playing time, because Owen is still a little injured, so George and Huskey have become the current Liverpool club's forward partners, and began to compete in major competitions for the team.
In a total of five games in all competitions, George continued his friendly performance in the national team, handing over an excellent statistic of 3 goals and 1 assist to everyone, which made the entire British media have to sigh again that Liverpool has cultivated an excellent striker again.
3-0 win over Norwich, 1-0 win over Portsmouth, 3-0 win over West Brom. Three consecutive wins in the Premier League have allowed Liverpool to stay in Group 1, and so far, only three clubs have been able to stay in Group 1: Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. Manchester United are two points ahead of Arsenal and four points ahead of Liverpool.
It can be said that the competition for the first group is very fierce, such a gap does not represent anything, after all, the three teams, the largest gap is only 4 points, as long as a team is tied or loses the game, I am afraid that the position will be pulled down.
As for Newcastle United and Chelsea, who were also in the first group at the beginning, they did not have such a good fate, and both clubs suffered various unfavorable games and eventually fell from the first group. Chelsea are currently three points behind Newcastle United, who are five points behind Liverpool, and it can be said that Newcastle United and Chelsea, as well as the strongly rebounding Tottenham Hotspur, are temporarily in the second group.
At the same time, Liverpool not only achieved good results in the Premier League, at the same time, in other competitions, Liverpool also achieved good results, and the possibility of promotion is very large, which makes Liverpool club and manager Houllier feel very distressed, after all, there are too many games, it is a severe test of the player's physical fitness, and it is likely that by the end of the game, the player will have a complete collapse due to physical problems, and the final result may be nothing.
It's a pity that for the honor, any player wants to get, so in the end, the club set the goal of focusing on the Premier League and the Champions League, for Liverpool, what they want most at the moment is to win a Premier League title, as for other competitions, let the semi-main and semi-substitute play, and play to whatever extent you can.
"Hey ~ George, damn it, what were you doing just now, you have to remember that you're not Michael, you have this strong body, in that case, you should choose to use your strong body to run me over Rieser's body. Tell you how many times, don't learn from Michael, play technical breakthroughs at every turn, you are simply wasting your strong body. ”
At Liverpool's Wellwood training base, Houllier yelled at George on the pitch. For George, Houllier is full of love, no way, who let George play very well during this time, the reason why Liverpool can stay in the first group is inseparable from George's play.
In particular, George's seemingly endless physical fitness suddenly made Houllier still worry about so many events, and at the same time he was worried about the physical condition of the players, he got a little comfort. Because of George, at least on the forward side, the rest of the players and the forwards can get more time to rest.
The game against Newcastle United is just around the corner, and at the same time, Arsenal and Manchester United are underdogs, so it will be easy to win as long as nothing happens. Now the whole of Britain is starting to pay attention to Liverpool's upcoming match at Newcastle United to see whether Liverpool will continue to win and stay in the first group, or be cut by Newcastle United and dragged into the second group.
It can be said that this game is not only very important for Liverpool, but also for Newcastle United, because as long as Newcastle United wins against Liverpool, they will be able to take a step towards the first group, so when the game between the two sides comes, without much thought, it will definitely be a fierce game.
It is for this reason that Houllier let the players start training at the training base, just now George received a pass from Gerrard, ready to rely on technique to shake off Rieser into the penalty area, but Heater fell directly to the ground and cut off the ball.
For this situation, Holier is naturally dissatisfied, you say you are Owen, then forget it, Owen is not physically strong, the only thing he can rely on is technique and speed. But you are George, with a strong body, and you learn Owen to play technical breakthroughs at every turn, which in the eyes of Hollier, is simply a waste of God-given talent and body for George.
"It's time to give George a good idea of how to use his strong body." Thinking of this, Hollier couldn't help but shout loudly: "George, you come here." ”
With a smile on Reese's face, George walked to the sidelines depressedly, came to Hollier, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Hollier, after all, in the situation just now, you can see that Hollier is very dissatisfied with himself, if he still stupidly asks Hollier what is going on with him, Hollier is afraid that he will really pirate Ferguson's "hair dryer" to let himself experience it.
"Hey~ George, can you tell me why when you get the ball and are ready to break through, every time you think of relying on your own skills to break through the opponent." Seeing George's guilty look, Houllier couldn't lose his temper, so he could only take a deep breath, calm down and say slowly.
"Coach, I don't know what's going on, because when I get the ball and decide to break through, I'm ready to shake the other party unconsciously." Listening to Hollier's words, George thought for a moment and replied.
"George, I don't have much to say about your skills, and I admit that you are no worse than Michael. But you are different from Michael, you have a strong body and speed, your impact is definitely stronger than Michael, sometimes the breakthrough is not just playing with technology, choosing speed and body to run over each other, on the contrary, it is easier and faster. Hey~ I don't know what to say, anyway, you go and try it now, remember, at least for now I don't allow you to play with technology, all for me to use your body and speed to give me a breakthrough. ”
Listening to George's words, Hollier said with a depressed face. Listening to Houllier's words, George nodded and returned to the court and began to continue training.
At the beginning, because he was honestly reminding himself that he must use speed and body to break through, he made George get in the way, and he couldn't show it, but he was constantly broken by Reese, not to mention breaking through Reese, on the contrary, he still trained Reese, which greatly increased Reese's confidence, and he became more and more calm in defending George.
However, when George adapted, Reese's bitterness came, and the absolute speed made Reese, a speed-type defender, only able to watch George stay away from his back, and more often, he was forcibly pushed away by George and rushed past him, which made Reeser feel very depressed while being embarrassed.
But what Reeser thought, George didn't know, now George only knew that his breakthrough like this was not only less time, but also simpler and more convenient, and he didn't have to think about how to shake off his opponent like before. This made George also begin to make up his mind that in the future, unless necessary, he would never use technology to break through the other party.
Standing on the sidelines, watching George become more and more accustomed to relying on speed and body to break through Reese and others, Houllier couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and he was more confident in the big battle with Newcastle United with the Magpies the day after tomorrow.
