Chapter 64: The Honor of the Weak Team (1)
The more than 40,000-seat Villa Park stadium has been packed, and Aston Villa fans are singing and celebrating, because soon, their favorite Aston Villa team will welcome the traditional Premier League powerhouse Liverpool at their home stadium Villa Park.
The situation of Aston Villa during this period is very bad, not only the club's financial problems, but also many players in the team have the idea of finding another way, plus the team is currently divided into two major gangs, on the one hand, the overseas faction centered on the captain Melberg, and on the other hand, the British native faction centered on Vassell, and no one on both sides is convinced of anyone, which is probably the biggest reason why Aston Villa, which is not weak, is now almost in a dangerous relegation position.
But even so, Aston Villa fans still use their enthusiasm and ways to show their support for the team and the club. If it weren't for the support of Aston Villa's fans, almost every game would be full, otherwise, Aston Villa's financial problems would be even more difficult now.
In this case, Aston Villa welcomed Liverpool, not only professionals, but even many Aston Villa fans, few people think that their team can beat the mighty Liverpool.
Aston Villa's current situation, Liverpool players naturally have a certain understanding, in the minds of Liverpool players, not to mention Aston Villa, which is now not united internally, even if it is a very united and powerful Aston Villa before, for Liverpool, at most, it will only bring a little trouble, not an opponent at all, Liverpool's opponents will always have three, that is, Arsenal, Manchester United and Everton, and perhaps there will be a rising Chelsea in the future.
So the Liverpool players who are sitting in the dressing room at the moment are chatting and laughing one by one, without the seriousness and tranquility of the eve of the big game. It is clear that the Liverpool players are not looking at Aston Villa as an opponent at all.
'Everyone, you know you know the situation of the Aston Villa team at the moment, if you think Aston Villa are a good opponent right now, then I want to tell you that you are wrong. Aston Villa's strength is not weak, and if you underestimate the enemy, I am afraid that you will be severely punished in the end. ”
As long as you are not stupid, you can see from the relaxed expressions of the Liverpool players that the Liverpool players are relaxed, and they don't even take Aston Villa seriously. Lao Bei is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very shrewd, and naturally sees the current psychological condition of Liverpool players, and hurriedly begins to say.
Hearing Lao Bei's words, the Liverpool players looked at Lao Bei one by one, not knowing what else Lao Bei needed to say.
"You think Aston Villa is weak, if that's the case, I can only tell you that you are all wrong, Aston Villa is not weak, on the contrary, it is strong, at least if you don't do your best, it is qualified to defeat you."
"Look at Aston Villa's lineup, the goalkeeper is Sorensen, known as the successor of Denmark Schmeichel, who is Schmeichel and what is the strength, I believe I don't need to say more, everyone knows it. You must know that being able to get the title of Schmeichel's successor is a recognition of strength in itself. ”
"If you look at the Aston Villa backline, the back line led by Melberg is impregnable, and you attacking players ask yourself which of you can ignore Melburg's existence."
"Looking at the opponent's midfield, the strength is not weak, the core of the midfield, Solano, can definitely pass the ball like a scalpel, at least so far, our Liverpool midfielders, no one has been able to reach the level of Solano's scheduling."
Hearing Lao Bei's words, although the Liverpool players were very unhappy, they also knew that what Lao Bei said was indeed true, after all, Liverpool relied on an all-round attack, not just one player to organize and pass the ball.
"As for the opponent's forward line, Vassell is the opponent's number one striker killer, although Vassell is small, but fast, flexible, and definitely a lurking snake in the penalty area, giving the enemy the most lethal blow when the enemy is most relaxed. What's more, there is also a Colombian Angel on the other side, although this guy doesn't look very good, but his speed reaction is accurate with his header and kick, and he definitely belongs to the kind of player who is more comprehensive. ”
Speaking of himself, Lao Bei didn't continue to speak, just stood quietly in place, carefully watching the expressions of the Liverpool players.
Listening to Lao Bei's words, George and others were depressed, Aston Villa's lineup and players, it was not the first time that everyone had played against each other, and everyone had a certain understanding in their hearts, why the head coach would say these nonsense, did he just want to attract the attention of himself and others.
The expressions of the players were seen by Lao Bei one by one, and when Lao Bei saw his players showing puzzled expressions one by one, he shook his head helplessly. Because Lao Bei knows that he is talking this nonsense, the Liverpool players still haven't figured out what they want to express, and they still don't regard Aston Villa as an opponent in their hearts. Thinking of this, Lao Bei sighed, it seems that the players still have to suffer a little during the game to be able to sober up.
Reminded by the staff, George and the others were still puzzled, and slowly walked to the players' tunnel, because the game was about to start. When the Liverpool squad arrived at the exit of the tunnel, they found that the Aston Villa players were already ready, but the atmosphere was a bit strange.
Because Aston Villa's 11 main players just stood there quietly, not moving, and even Liverpool came very much, and none of the players turned their heads to look.
The performance of the Aston Villa players immediately made Liverpool depressed, and they didn't know what happened to the other party. It's just that when George looked at Solano standing beside him, he found that the other party had a strong murderous aura on his face, which immediately attracted George's attention. Looking at the Aston Villa players in the back, their faces were as murderous as Solano's, George couldn't help but be surprised, because at this moment George finally understood that something unknown must have happened to Aston Villa, although I don't know what it is, but according to the current situation of Aston Villa's players, this game is definitely a difficult game.
Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of Aston Villa fans, the captains of both sides, Hyypia and Melberg, with their heads held high, led their teammates and followed the referee into the stadium, and the game was about to start.
"Brother Sammy, the situation is very wrong, there seems to be something going on at Aston Villa, one by one there is a murderous look on his face, you have to pay attention to it later." During the warm-up, George conveyed his thoughts to captain Hyypia, and when he heard George's words, Hyypia glanced at the Aston Villa players twice, and immediately nodded to make it clear.
In fact, Liverpool did not know that before the start of the game, the manager of Aston Villa had suffered a heart attack and had been admitted to the hospital yesterday. But the manager of Aston Villa insisted on coming to the scene to direct the game because he was going to play Liverpool today. Players such as Aston Villa and Melberg were stunned to talk about it, and on the condition of going all out, they dispelled the idea of the manager coming to direct the game on the spot.
"I also know the strength of Liverpool, and I also know some of the current situation within the team, I don't ask you to win, but my only request is that I hope you can fight with the heart of a warrior in front of the fans, at home Villa Park, you know, Aston Villa also has its own honor, for the honor of Aston Villa, I hope you let go and fight with all your might!" Thinking back to the manager's words to himself, the Aston Villa players are full of enthusiasm, and they want to teach Liverpool a good lesson, don't think that you are strong enough to do whatever you want.
As the referee's whistle blew, the game finally began, and the Aston Villa players immediately began to rush towards Gerrard who was holding the ball.
