Chapter 363 Dream Start
"George, what you just said is a bit too much, how can you be so calm, you don't pay attention to those damn reporters!" George left the pre-match press conference with Lao Bei, and walked towards the Liverpool dressing room.On the way, Lao Bei couldn't help but frowned, and said to George beside him.

Old Bei was puzzled, because Old Bei knew that George was not a fool, on the contrary, he was very shrewd. Old Bei never thought 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, he might be criticized by the media all over England.

Thinking of this, Lao Bei became even more depressed. Lao Bei would not think that George said those words on impulse just because he was young and energetic.

"Hehe~ It's nothing, I just need to put a little pressure on myself!" George knew that Old Bei would ask him why, George smiled and explained indifferently.

"Pressure?" Lao Bei couldn't help but frowned, looked at George who looked relaxed, and couldn't help but sighed a long time.In Lao Bei's mind, he supported George as the captain of Liverpool so early. For George, the pressure was indeed a bit greater.Thinking of this, Lao Bei couldn't help but look at George with some guilt, his eyes full of apology.

"Hehe, coach, this is not your problem." Seeing Lao Bei's apologetic eyes, George immediately understood that Lao Bei was blaming himself at this time. Thinking of this, George smiled and comforted Lao Bei.

"No, no, no, I don't think so. No matter from any point of view, I have the responsibility that I cannot shirk." Unfortunately, Old Bei did not accept George's comfort, but instead insisted on his own ideas.

Seeing Lao Bei's resolute look, George rolled his eyes helplessly. Since Lao Bei was so persistent, George didn't know what to say for a while.

In this way, in a relatively quiet atmosphere, both George and Lao Bei walked to the Liverpool dressing room without speaking.

"Hi~ It turns out that our captain is back, George, tell me, how did it feel to go to the press conference before the game, did anything interesting happen?"

When George and Old Bei appeared in the locker room, Gerald was the first to spot them coming back with sharp eyes. He immediately abandoned Owen who was on the side, came to George's side and put his arms around his shoulders and asked with a smile.

"Hehe, I feel pretty good. As for whether something interesting happened, there is nothing particularly interesting. It's just that I made a bet with the reporters." George said with a smile on his face. Indeed, for Gerald, a good buddy, George understood everything thoroughly, and he didn't intend to hide anything.

"What bet!" Sure enough, as soon as George finished speaking, Gerald's curiosity came up and he asked quickly.In fact, not only Gerrard, but even the other team members immediately fell silent after hearing George's words.Everyone was very curious about what kind of bet George made with the reporters.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just a bet with the reporters that I will definitely score in this game. Otherwise, I'll just run naked in front of the reporters of The Sun." George continued to say indifferently, like an outsider.

"Woohoo!" The whole locker room suddenly burst into exclamation. Don't look at the ease and simplicity of George's words, but the others are not fools. Naturally, they can see how much pressure George's bet will put on themselves.

"George, you're so fucking talented. You don't bet with anyone, but you bet against the rubbish of the "Sun". Just because of this, I am convinced." Riise, who had originally admired George as Liverpool captain, also came over after hearing George's words, patted George on the shoulder, and said with admiration.

Don't be surprised, you must know that Riise is a drunkard in the Liverpool team. He doesn't drink and has a good time, and he often haunts some places that paparazzi prefer. He is not called a playboy for nothing. Of course, this title is also caused by the vigorous publicity of "The Sun".

No way, the "Sun" lives by voyeurism and mining the privacy of stars. People like Riise are naturally the "Sun"'s target.Regarding the "Sun" reporting that I spent another night with that woman again from time to time, first of all, regardless of whether this matter is true or not, as long as I am a human being, I am afraid that I will not like my privacy to be discovered by others, let alone report it.

So Riese hated The Sun very much. He even scolded The Sun once in public, calling it a piece of shit, a son of a bitch. From this, it can be seen how much Riese hated The Sun.Although Riise also handed over a lot of fines and suspension for his words, but in the final analysis, as long as it is a celebrity or a public figure, which one will have a good impression of "The Sun".

"Okay, I admit I really want to see you naked on TV, but anyway, you are the captain of our Liverpool at this time, representing our whole Liverpool, if you really let you run naked on TV, then we would be very proud of ourselves. I think guys, it seems that we have to help George."

Carragher stood up and said at this time. The previous words were obviously a joke, but the latter words still revealed Carragher's main purpose, which is to get his teammates to help together so that George can score in this game.

Seeing Carragher being so righteous, George was also a little moved. He couldn't help but sigh that he was the one who walked out of the Liverpool youth training camp together, so the relationship is naturally deeper.

Don't look at the scene of George's pre-match press conference. He dared to say those words arrogantly in front of more than 100 reporters. 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 and he does not run naked, he will be attacked by the entire English media, which is for sure.

Not to mention how much impact it will have on his popularity and image. Even if George really runs naked, George will not believe that those guys in "The Sun" will only appreciate it for themselves. I am afraid that those guys in "The Sun" will definitely make a big publicity, and then spread the footage of his streaking around the world before giving up.

Don't look at George's indifference, but in fact he still cares deeply in his heart, besides, George doesn't have the hobby of running naked.

"Yes~ Guys, it seems that our George needs our help very much at this time." Hypia also stood up at this time. I don't know whether it is Hypia's personality problem, or Lao Bei hired Hypia to do a lot of work.In short, Hyypia has no resentment at all for George taking the position of captain. On the contrary, he actively cooperates with George in all aspects.No, following Carragher's words, Hypia also jumped out and expressed his position.

Following the words of Carragher and Hypia, the entire locker room suddenly became lively, and everyone immediately surrounded George. While talking about their admiration, they also promised to pass the ball to George as much as possible so that George could score earlier.Even Irving said that he would never shoot, but pass the ball. He hoped that George would wait in front of the penalty area the moment Irving took the ball.

"Thank you~Thank you everyone~ If we can beat the damn Arsenal today, then I will treat everyone to a good meal." Seeing his teammates so encouraging and supporting him, George is not a robot, so he is naturally very grateful.

"Oh also!" Obviously, George's last words about treating guests are what satisfied the other players the most. After hearing that George would treat guests, everyone began to gather together to discuss what to order and what wine to drink at that time. It seemed that George would not give up until he was bled.

This scene immediately fell into the eyes of Lao Bei. Seeing the players' reactions, Lao Bei shook his head helplessly. What do you think of Arsenal?If you go to the game with this mentality, let alone destroy your opponent, maybe you will be reversed by Arsenal.

"Okay, okay, everyone should finish listening and say a word." Lao Bei, who had been deeply remorseful for the bet between George and the "Sun" reporter, finally spoke out at this time.

In Lao Bei's mind, if George really didn't score a goal, then he is also the biggest sinner.Thinking of this, Lao Bei decided that it doesn't matter even if he loses the game, but he must let George score to prevent George from making a fool of himself.

"OK~ I don't care whether you don't want to see George running naked, or you want to have a good meal after the game, but all of this will have to wait until the end of the game to get the final answer. But big stars, you seem to have forgotten who your opponent is today."

Seeing that the blows were all looking at him, Lao Bei couldn't help but sneered, and said to the whole team.

"Uh~" Old Bei's words immediately woke up the excited Liverpool players. At this time, everyone realized that today's opponent is not easy to deal with, let alone defeating the opponent. I am afraid that judging from the current momentum of Arsenal's recent games, it is normal for Arsenal to destroy themselves in turn.

Thinking of this, everyone's faces turned serious. 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 easy to play. Since this is the case, let's talk about how we should play this game." Seeing that the players finally woke up from their excitement, Old Bei nodded and said.

The Liverpool soldiers lowered their heads one by one, embarrassed to look at Lao Bei.As a professional player, I didn't even realize that underestimating the opponent is the biggest mistake. Liverpool players feel somewhat ashamed.

Suddenly, everyone realized that the opponent was not a League Two and League One team, but a Premier League team, and among all the teams in the Premier League, Arsenal was the only team that could cause Liverpool huge troubles.

"Let's talk about Arsenal's defense first. The goalkeeper is still the old German goalkeeper Lehmann. Although this Lehmann is not young, he has been in a very good state recently. It seems that the older he is, the more game experience he has accumulated. In short, Lehmann is now fully capable of competing with Kahn, the main goalkeeper of the German national team. It can be seen that Lehmann is definitely not a good opponent. Mann also performed very well, but his physical fitness is a bit behind. So what you have to do is very simple, that is, approach the opponent's penalty area, approach Lehmann, and then shoot, while paying attention to supplementary shots."

"Among Arsenal's defense, there are Toure, Cole, Campbell and Sigan. Campbell is the absolute core of Arsenal's defense. I believe that these guys are not the first time dealing with opponents, and they are very clear. You can figure out what to do. But Kewell, pay attention to Toure, who is facing you, is a good central defender, but not a good full-back. So use your speed and technology to give me as much as possible to break through."

"Understood!" Kewell replied subconsciously when Old Bei called out his task.Using speed and technology to continuously break through opponents is something Kewell often does on the court. In a word, it is familiar.

"Sigan is a big guy with a strong body. He has a huge advantage in defending against high-altitude balls, but his weakness is his slow turning. You have to remember this."

Listening to Old Bei's words, the eyes of George, Owen, and Kewell suddenly lit up. For the three of them, Xigan's turning around is a noteworthy place. After all, the three have skills and speed, or they can take a breakthrough from Xigan.

"In terms of midfield, if there is no accident, Arsenal's midfielder should start with Silva, Vieira, Ljungberg and Pires. At the same time, Silva and Vieira form Arsenal's double midfielder, while Ljungberg and Pires form Arsenal's double midfielder, which is basically the same as our Liverpool."

Indeed, Arsenal are similar to Liverpool in terms of midfield and even attack.Double midfielders, double front midfielders, a center and a hard wind.In addition to the rear, they are basically the same, whether it is from the formation or the technical characteristics of the players, they are very similar.

The double central defenders of Seagan and Campbell are in the same position as Hyypia and Carragher, and they are a solid defensive fortress.Toure's assists are not very strong, but his defense is very strong. This is very similar to Yepes, who has played as a central defender for a long time and has become a full-back at this time.What's more, both teams have an assist weapon, one is Cole and the other is Riise. Both of them belong to the kind that are very good at assists, have strong defensive strength, and both have good free kick skills.

The double midfielders of both sides can attack and defend, but in terms of foot skills, Liverpool will have the upper hand, because both Gerrard and Alonso have good foot skills. As for Arsenal, the Brazilian Silva has excellent Brazilian foot skills.

In terms of double attacking midfielders, Arsenal is slightly better than Liverpool. Whether it is Pires or Ljungberg, both of them are all-round players. They can pass, shoot, and rush.

In this regard, Liverpool's double midfielders Kewell and Smicer are not bad, but Smicer does not have the impressive speed of Pires and Ljungberg, so it can be regarded as a bit weaker.

In the front, the two sides are evenly matched. Bergkamp, ​​like Irving, hides behind Henry and George and acts as a shadow forward. However, in the position of Jiuyingfeng, Bergkamp, ​​who is experienced and has good skills at his feet, is obviously better than Owen.However, in terms of center, George, who is physically stronger, has more impact than Henry, so the two sides are on par.

"But you have to remember that Arsenal's style of play is to attack from the ground, so you must pay attention to it. Don't hesitate to foul. At the same time, you must press the whole court. Don't let Arsenal have a chance to calmly organize the attack. Even if you lose the ball, you must fight back on the spot, understand?"

"Understood!" Liverpool players responded resolutely in the locker room.

"Although Bergkamp, ​​the opponent's striker, seldom makes breakthroughs due to his age, the threat of Bergkamp still exists, so I don't want anyone to look down on this Dutchman, and this Dutchman has a good pass. You must pay attention to it. Another Frenchman Henry, this guy has grown rapidly in recent seasons. Now he is definitely the world's top striker. Henry is characterized by fast speed and gorgeous dribbling. Everyone must pay attention to it."

George, Gerrard and the others all nodded in unison. Whether they were right or not, it was hard not to be serious when facing a formidable opponent like Arsenal.

"Oh~ I almost forgot. In the danger zone, don't foul easily. After all, that damn Bergkamp's free kick technique is still very good." After finishing speaking, Lao Bei suddenly thought of something and continued to remind the players.

After hearing Lao Bei's words, Hypia, Carragher and others nodded immediately, keeping Lao Bei's reminder in mind.The whole Liverpool is very clear, dare not say anything else, at least one thing is possible, that is, Lao Bei will definitely study the opponent thoroughly before the game.Now that Lao Bei has said so, he will resolutely not give Arsenal the chance to directly attack the goal from a free kick.

"Boy, I'm sorry to tell you that today I discussed it with my teammates. We all like to see the scene of you running naked on TV, so we unanimously decided not to give you a chance to score goals."

After Lao Bei explained the things that Liverpool players need to pay attention to, following the reminder of the staff, George led his teammates to the player tunnel.At this time, Arsenal was also waiting in the player channel early.Vieira looked at George standing beside him, and said with a strange smile.

"Hehe~ I also regret to tell you that I will definitely score in this game." George didn't take Vieira's words to heart. George is not stupid, so he naturally knows that Vieira is putting pressure on himself.But George is not easy to provoke, whether it is physically or verbally, as long as anyone provokes, George will fight back unceremoniously.

"Hmph~ You are too arrogant, boy. I really want to see how you scored in this game." George's counterattack did not anger Vieira on the side, but angered the Frenchman Sigam behind Vieira.

In Xigan's mind, he was standing aside, and George said it was so easy, it seemed that wanting to score a goal was really a very common thing for George, and it was not challenging at all.This is an insult to Arsenal's defense and an insult to himself. After all, Xigan is Arsenal's central defender.

So after hearing George's words, Xigan frowned immediately, looked at George arrogantly and said.

"Whatever you want!" George really didn't like Xi Gan, and he didn't even pay attention to him. He turned his head and looked at the exit of the player tunnel, quietly waiting for the game to officially start.

"You!" Seeing that George didn't take himself seriously, Xi Gan couldn't help being furious. At this time, Xi Gan had secretly made up his mind that he must let George know how powerful he was during the competition.

"Dear fans and friends, welcome to Anfield Stadium. The highlight of the Premier League will be staged here soon. Liverpool will sit at home to welcome the Gunners Arsenal who come to challenge. There is no doubt that this will be a battle of the century. Now that the players have entered the stadium, let us welcome the fighters on both sides with the warmest applause."

Under the leadership of the referee, amidst the roar of the commentator and the deafening applause, the players of both sides walked into the field with their heads held high and their chests held high, preparing to officially stage the highlight of the Premier League.

After exchanging team flags and picking sides, the referee looked at the time and sounded a whistle to officially start the game.

"There are too many opinions between Liverpool and Arsenal, and the two players are surprisingly similar in terms of formation and player characteristics. It's just that the playing styles of the two teams are different, but I believe that after the end of this game, we will know whether it is the ground play, which is better for short pass penetration, or the big foot transfer, which is better for passing directly into the penalty area."

"Hehe~ It seems that Arsenal's goalkeeper is the German Lehmann who just joined this season. As far as I know, our brother Seaman, because of a cold, can only sit on the bench and watch the game depressed. Len George. The game had only started less than 3 minutes ago, and Liverpool scored a goal. It was our captain George who scored the goal. God, how did this goal score, who can tell me?"

While the commentator was still making fun of Seaman, Liverpool had already scored a goal like lightning, and the entire Anfield stadium suddenly became silent. Everyone knew that this game might become a goal battle. After all, the offensive strength of the two teams was placed there, but no one expected that the goal would appear so soon.

At this time, the big screen on the scene told everyone how Liverpool just scored. Arsenal kicked off, Gerrard and Alonso defended, and cut off the ball at Silva's feet. Alonso handed the ball to Kewell on the left.

At this time, George was still five or six meters away from the penalty area. It can only be said that everything happened too fast. From stealing the ball to passing, and from Kewell's breakthrough and passing, all happened in an instant. At this time, George has not entered the offensive position at all.

But Zhi Leng relied on his terrifying speed, accelerated and accelerated, and headed the ball into the goal before Xigan made a header to clear the siege.You must know that when Kewell started to pass the ball, George was still five or six meters away from the right side of the penalty area. The distance of five or six meters was enough for George to accelerate. With the strong inertia brought by the absolute speed, although George's header was still ten meters away from the goal, the speed of the ball was so fast that Lehman didn't even have time to react, or Lehman got into the goal before he was ready for the game.

At this moment, everyone came to their senses. After a moment of silence, the entire Anfield stadium erupted into louder cheers. There is nothing better than scoring a goal at the beginning of the game.

It has to be said that with George's goal, Liverpool instantly grasped the initiative of the game, or just such a goal can definitely win or lose the game, a perfect dream start that cannot be more perfect.
