Chapter 91: A Dream Start
George, what you just said was a bit too much, how can you not completely ignore those damn reporters like this! George left the pre-match press conference with Beck and headed towards the Liverpool dressing room. On the way, Lao Bei couldn't help frowning and said to George on the side.
Lao Bei wondered, because Lao Bei knew that George was not a fool, on the contrary, he was very shrewd, and Lao Bei could never have imagined that George would say those words in front of so many reporters. You must know that if George really didn't score in this game, and George didn't fulfill his promise, I am afraid that he will be attacked by the media all over England.
Thinking of this, Lao Bei was even more depressed, Lao Bei would not think that George would only say those words on impulse because he was young and vigorous.
"Hehe~ What, I just need to put a little pressure on myself!" Knowing that Lao Bei would ask him why, George smiled and explained indifferently.
"Pressure?" Lao Bei couldn't help frowning, looked at George with a relaxed face on the side, and couldn't help but sigh a long sigh. In Lao Bei's thoughts, he supported George as the captain of Liverpool so early, and for George, the pressure was indeed a little greater. Thinking of this, Lao Bei couldn't help but glance at George with some guilt, his eyes full of apologies.
"Hehe, Coach, that's not your problem." Seeing Lao Bei's apologetic eyes, George suddenly understood that Lao Bei was blaming himself at this time, thinking of this, George smiled and comforted Lao Bei and said.
"No, no, no, I don't think so, in any way, I have a responsibility that I can't shirk." But it's a pity that Lao Bei didn't accept George's comfort, but instead insisted on his own ideas.
Seeing Lao Bei's resolute look, George also rolled his eyes helplessly, since Lao Bei insisted like this, then George didn't know what to say for a while.
That's it, in a relatively quiet atmosphere, George and Lao Bei didn't talk anymore and walked straight to Liverpool's dressing room.
"Hey~ It's our captain back, George, tell me, how did you feel at the pre-game press conference, did you have anything interesting?"
When George and Bakery appeared in the locker room. Gerard's sharp-eyed two were the first to return. Immediately abandoned Owen aside. He asked with a grin, hugging his shoulders over George's side.
"Huh. It feels pretty good. As for what is interesting, there is nothing particularly interesting. It's just that I made a bet with the reporters. George said with a smile on his face. Truly. For Gerald, this good buddy. George understands it thoroughly. There was no intention of hiding anything either.
"What a bet!" Really. When George had just finished speaking. Gerald's curiosity came up. Xun asked. In fact, it was not only Gerrard, but also other players. After hearing George's words. It was also quiet for a moment. Everyone was curious. What kind of bet did George make with the reporters?
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just a bet with journalists. Say I'm going to score absolutely in this game. Otherwise. I'm just a little short. George continued to look indifferent. Said like an outsider.
"Woohoo!" The entire locker room suddenly resounded with an exclamation. Don't look at what George said so easily and simply, and others are not stupid. Naturally, you can see how much pressure George's bet will put on him.
"George is so talented. And who does not bet. I even gambled with the garbage of the "Sun". That's it. I took it. "Originally, after hearing George's words about becoming the captain of Liverpool, Dirisser heard George's words. He also walked over and patted George on the shoulder. said with a look of admiration.
Don't be surprised that Dorisse is a drunkard in the Liverpool team, no alcohol and often haunts some of the paparazzi's favorite places, and the name of the playboy is not called in vain, of course, this title is also caused by the vigorous promotion of the "Sun".
There is no way, "The Sun" lives on **** and digging stars, and people like Reese are naturally the target of "The Sun". For "The Sun" to report from time to time that he and that woman spent the night again, regardless of whether this matter is true or not, but as long as it is a person, I am afraid that I will not like my ** to be revealed by others, let alone report it in a big way.
So for the "Sun", Rieser is very hateful, and even once angrily scolded the "Sun" in public, calling it shit, a bitch raised a shit, you can see how much Riser hates the "Sun". Although Reese also handed over a large fine and ban for her words, but in the end, as long as they are celebrities and public figures, who will have a good impression of The Sun.
"Okay, I admit that I really want to see your **** scene on TV, but anyway, you are our captain of Liverpool at this time, representing our entire Liverpool, if you really let you **** on TV, then we are not very beautiful. I think guys, it looks like we're going to help George. β
Carragher stood up and said at this point, the first words were obviously a joke, but the latter words still said Carragher's main purpose, which was to get his teammates to help so that George could score in this game.
Seeing Carragher so righteous, George was also a little moved, and couldn't help but sigh that after all, he was still a person who came out of the Liverpool youth training camp together, and his feelings were naturally deeper.
Don't look at George's pre-game press conference, he dared to say those words arrogantly in front of more than 100 reporters, and he didn't seem to care at all.
But in fact, in his heart, George still cares very much, after all, if there is really no goal in this game, if he is not ****, he will suffer from the crusade of the entire English media, this is for sure.
Don't say that it really comes to that point, how much impact it will have on his popularity and image, even if George is really ****, George will not believe that those guys in "The Sun" will only appreciate it themselves, I'm afraid that those guys in "Sun" will definitely hype it up, and then spread their **** shots to all over the world before they stop.
Don't look at George and look indifferent, but in fact, deep down he still cares, and George doesn't have a **** preference.
"Yes~ Guys, it seems that our George needs our help at this time." Hyypia also stood up at this time, I don't know if it was Hyypia's personality problem, or Lao Bei found Hypia to do a lot of work. In short, Hyypia has no resentment at all about George taking over his captaincy, on the contrary, he actively cooperates with George in all aspects. Regardless of Carragher's words, Hyypia also jumped out and made his position clear.
With Carragher and Hyypia's words, the entire locker room suddenly became lively, and everyone immediately surrounded George's side, and while saying admiration, he also promised that he would pass the ball to George as much as possible and let George score earlier. Even Owen has said that he will never shoot, but pass
The moment George got the ball on Irving, he went to wait in front of the penalty area.
"Thank you~ Thank you~ If we can beat the damn Arsenal today, then I'll treat you to a treat and treat everyone to eat and drink." Seeing his teammates so encouraging and supportive, George is not a robot, and naturally he is very grateful.
"Oh also!" Obviously, George's last sentence is a difficult >
This scene suddenly fell into the eyes of Lao Bei on the side, seeing the reaction of the players, Lao Bei also shook his head helplessly, what are you when Arsenal, you can pinch how you want, the game has not yet started, and it is already ready to celebrate. If you play with this mentality, you will be ruining your opponent, and you may be destroyed by Arsenal.
"Okay, okay, shouldn't I finish listening to it?" Lao Bei, who had always had deep self-reproach for George and the "Sun" reporter's bet, finally spoke out at this time.
In Lao Bei's thoughts, if George really didn't score, then he was also the biggest sinner. Thinking of this, Lao Bei decided that it didn't matter if the game was lost, but he must let George score a goal to make George look ugly.
"OK~~ I don't care if you don't want to watch George Ben or want to eat and drink after the game, but all of this will have to wait until the game is over to get the final answer. But the big stars seem to have forgotten who your opponent is today. β
Seeing the blow looking at himself, Lao Bei couldn't help sneering and said to the whole team.
"Uh~ The old words suddenly made the excited Liverpool players sober up, and at this time everyone realized that today's opponent is not easy to deal with, let alone defeat the opponent, I am afraid that according to the current momentum of Arsenal's recent games, it is normal for Arsenal to destroy itself in turn.
Thinking of this, everyone's faces couldn't help but become serious, and they didn't know whether they were worried about George or the big meal.
"Very good, it seems that everyone knows that this game is not good, and since that's the case, then let's talk about how we should play this game." Seeing that the players had finally woken up from their excitement, Lao Bei nodded and said.
And the Liverpool generals all lowered their heads, embarrassed to look at Lao Bei. As a professional player, it is not even interesting to underestimate the opponent as the biggest mistake, and the Liverpool players feel a little ashamed one by one.
Suddenly, everyone realized that the opponent was not a League Two and League One team, but a British team, and it was the only Arsenal team in England that could cause Liverpool huge problems.
"Let's talk about Arsenal's backline first, the goalkeeper is still the old German goalkeeper Lehmann. Lehmann is not young, but he has been in excellent form lately, and it seems that the older he gets, the more experience he has in the game. In short, this Lyman is now fully powerful? *Deerξξ Ye hug noisy condyle emblem ξͺ ξ Ye and condyle Ξ³ Nai Hui S yarn fir ξ Chen ξ ξ Yuanhuang and Huan Yuan Yuan lowered the recruitment of 1 2 and also the bald toad ξ pull the shackle ξ poke Su Shu Wei Que to seek heat ξ ξ starling ξ¨ ξ₯ coin Cai gou Mei Chen ξ Yun stewed ε§ 14. BR/>
'Arsenal have Toure, Cole, Campbell and Sigan in the backline. Campbell is the absolute heart of Arsenal's defence, and it's not the first time you've dealt with opponents with these guys, and you know very well what to do. But Colwill, you pay attention, Toure, who is opposite you, is a good centre-back but not a good full-back, so use your degree and skill to give me as much as possible to break through. β
"Understood!" Hearing Lao Bei name his task, Cowell subconsciously replied. Utilization and skill continue to break through opponents, this is what Colwill often does on the court, in a word, that is, familiar.
"Sigan is a big, strong guy and has a huge advantage in defending against high balls, but his weakness is that he turns slowly, you have to remember."
Listening to Lao Bei's words, the eyes of George, Owen and Cowell suddenly lit up, for the three of them, Sigan's turn is a noteworthy place, after all, the three of them have the skill and degree, or they can take a breakthrough from Sigan.
'In midfield, if nothing else, Arsenal's midfield should be Silva, Patrick Vieira, Ljungberg and Pire. At the same time, Silva and Vieira make up Arsenal's back two, while Ljungberg and Pire make up Arsenal's two midfielders, which is basically the same as Liverpool. β
Indeed, Arsenal are similar to Liverpool in midfield and even in attack. Double back waist, double front waist, one center and one hard wind. In addition, in the rear, it is basically the same, whether it is from the formation or the technical characteristics of the players, it is very similar.
Sigan and Campbell's twin centre-backs are as strong a back-for-back as Hyypia and Carragher positions. Toure didn't have a very strong assist, but he defended very well and was similar to Yeppers, who had played long hours at centre-back and had become a full-back at this time. What's more, both teams have an assist weapon, one is Cole and the other is Reese, both of whom are very good at assisting and defending, and both have good free kick skills.
The double back of both sides can attack and defend, but in terms of foot technology, Liverpool has to have a little upper hand, because whether it is Gerrard or Alonso, the skills are good, as for Arsenal, Brazilian Silva has the outstanding foot skills of the Brazilians, although Silva's position is the back midfield, but Vieira's foot skills are not very good, but this does not prevent Vieira from swinging on the field.
In terms of double strikers, Arsenal is slightly stronger than Liverpool, whether it is Pire or Ljungberg, both of them are all-round players, able to pass and shoot, and can penetrate, free kick skills are good, delicate skills at the feet, and at the same time, there is a degree.
In this regard, Liverpool's double forward midfielders Colwill and Smitchell are not bad, but Smitchell is not as proud as Pire and Ljungberg, so he can be regarded as a little weaker.
In the front, the two sides are evenly matched, Bergkamp, like Owen, hides behind Henry and George, acting as a shadow striker, but in the position of a long-term shadow striker, Bergkamp, who is experienced and has good skills at his feet, is obviously better than Owen. However, in the center, the physically stronger George is more impactful than Thierry Henry, so the two sides are evenly matched.
"But you have to remember that Arsenal's style of play is all from the ground, so you have to be careful, don't hesitate, you should commit a foul
You also have to press the whole field, don't give Arsenal a chance to attack calmly, even if you concede a goal, you have to? br/>
"Understood!" The dressing room suddenly burst into the resolute answer of the Liverpool player.
"The opposing striker, Bergkamp, although he rarely breaks through because of his age, but Bergkamp's threat is still there, so I don't want anyone to look down on this Dutchman, and this Dutchman has a good pass, you have to pay attention. Another Frenchman, Henry, this guy has grown rapidly in recent seasons, and is now definitely the world's top striker killer, Henry's characteristic is that he is fast, and the dribbling is very gorgeous, everyone must pay attention. β
George and Gerrard and others all nodded in unison, whether it is right, in the face of such a strong opponent as Arsenal, it is difficult not to be serious.
"O~ I forgot a little, in the danger zone, don't foul easily, after all, that damn Bergkamp free kick technique is still very good." After Lao Bei finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and continued to remind the team.
Hyypia, Kara and the others, after hearing Lao Bei's words, immediately nodded and took Lao Bei's reminder to heart. The whole Liverpool knows very well that they dare not say anything else, at least one thing is possible, that is, Lao Bei will definitely study the opponent very thoroughly before the game. Since Lao Bei said this, he resolutely did not give Arsenal a chance to take a free kick directly into the goal.
"Boy, I'm sorry to tell you, I discussed it with my teammates today, and we all looked at the scene of you **** on TV, so we unanimously decided not to give you a chance to score."
After Lao Bei handed over the things that Liverpool players needed to pay attention to, with the reminder of the staff, George led his teammates to the players' tunnel. At this time, Arsenal was also waiting in the players' tunnel early. Vieira looked at George standing beside him and said with a strange smile.
"Hehe~ I'm also sorry to tell you that I will definitely score in this game." George didn't take Vieira's words to heart, George was not stupid, and naturally knew that it was Vieira who was putting pressure on himself. However, George is not a master to be provoked, whether it is physically or verbally, as long as anyone provokes, George will fight back unceremoniously.
"Hmph~ You're too arrogant, I just want to see how you scored in this game." George's counterattack did not anger Vieira on the sidelines, but angered the Frenchman Sigan behind Vieira.
In Sigan's thoughts, he was on the sidelines, and George said it so easily, as if he wanted to score a goal, which was really a common thing for George, not a little challenging. It's an insult to the Arsenal backline, but also to himself, after all, Sigan is Arsenal's centre-back.
So after hearing George's words, Sigan suddenly frowned, looked at George with an arrogant face and said.
"Whatever you want!" For Sigan, George really didn't have a good impression of the other party, and turned his head directly to the exit of the player's tunnel, quietly waiting for the game to officially start.
"You!" Seeing that George didn't take himself in his eyes at all, Sigan couldn't help but be furious, and at this time Sigan had secretly made up his mind that he would let George know how good he was during the game.
"Fans and friends, welcome to Anfield, where the highlight of the game is about to begin, with Liverpool hosting the Gunners Arsenal. There is no doubt that this will be the battle of the century in which the players have entered, so let's welcome the fighters from both sides with the warmest applause. β
Under the leadership of the referee, in the roar of the commentator, and in the deafening applause, the players of both sides walked into the stadium with their chests held high, ready to officially stage the highlight of the British game.
The team flag was exchanged, the side was picked, the referee looked at the time, a whistle sounded, and the game officially began.
'There are so many points of view between Liverpool and Arsenal and there are striking similarities between the two players, both in terms of formation and player characteristics. It's just that the two teams have different styles of play, but I believe that after this game, we will be able to know whether it is the ground play, the short pass penetration is stronger, or the big foot transfer is stronger, and the direct pass to the penalty area is stronger. β
"Hehe~ The goalkeeper who came to Arsenal is the German Lehmann, who just joined this season, as far as I know, our He-Man brother, because of the cold, can only sit on the bench depressed and watch the game, which is simply too cruel for the He-Man brother, after all, this kind of strong dialogue game, is not often encountered, not to mention that Lehmann's recent form has been very good, I'm afraid our He-Man brother's main position, hehe, it's a little ~~ Allenji. Less than three minutes into the game, Liverpool scored and it was our captain George, God, how did it go, who can tell me? β
Just as the commentator was still teasing Seaman, Liverpool had scored lightning goals at this time, and the entire Anfield stadium suddenly became silent, everyone knew that this game might become a goal battle, after all, the attacking strength of the two teams was there, but everyone didn't expect that the goal would appear so quickly.
At this time, the big screen at the scene told everyone how Liverpool scored just now, Arsenal kicked off, Gerrard and Alonso defended together, cut off the ball at Silva's feet, Alonso handed the ball to Colwill on the left, Colwill leaned on Toure's side, forced past Toure and passed the ball directly to the penalty area.
At this time, George was still five or six meters away from the penalty area, and it could only be said that everything was born too fast, from breaking the ball to passing, from Colwill's breakthrough and passing to the ball was only born in a moment, and George had not yet entered the offensive position at this time.
But Zhi was stunned by virtue of the degree of terror, plus and again, and grabbed the ball into the goal before Sigan's header cleared it. You must know that when Colwill got up and passed, George was still five or six meters away from the right side of the penalty area, and the distance of five or six meters was enough for George to add, with the strong inertia brought by the absolute degree, although George's header was still ten meters away from the goal, but the ball was very fast, so fast that Lehmann didn't even have time to react, or Lehmann was not ready to play, so he got into the goal.
It was only then that everyone reacted, and after a moment of silence at Anfield, there was an even louder cheer, and nothing could be better than scoring a goal at the start of the game.
I have to say that with George's goal, Liverpool instantly grasped the initiative of the game, or just such a goal, it can absolutely win or lose this game, a dream start that cannot be perfect.
