Chapter 41 The Game Begins

"You should pay attention. Although I belittled Arsenal in front of the media, it is undeniable that the current Arsenal is very strong, even stronger than us. Believe me, everyone will understand what this game means. Don't underestimate the opponent. Be stable and kill Arsenal. If anyone in this game is not desperate, then my bench will welcome you."

After adapting to the field yesterday, Houllier asked the players to go back to the hotel to rest, recharge their batteries, and try to teach Arsenal a hard lesson in the game.

With 10 minutes left in the game, Houllier was in the dressing room at Highbury, talking loudly to his players.Houllier is in a hurry. Although he said that he led the team to win five championships this year, for a team, the most important thing is the league championship and the Champions League title.

What five crowns, to put it bluntly, it is rubbish that others don't want, so it is given to Liverpool.Good things such as the Champions League, such as the league championship, those are good things, and they are the goals that everyone pursues.

This year Arsenal has a strong momentum. It has achieved an impressive record of 7 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses. With 23 points, it is 2 point ahead of the No.1 Manchester United, leading the Premier League in style.As for the current Liverpool, because of Husky's suspension and Owen's injury, they have only achieved 4 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, ranking No.15 with 5 points.In front of Liverpool are Fulham with 16 points and Newcastle United with 18 points.

You know, the last time Liverpool won the five crowns under the leadership of Houllier. Although there is no final league championship and Champions League championship, the Liverpool team has high expectations for Houllier and the current team. They think this is a sign of Liverpool's glory again.

Although the team's two main strikers were injured, Houllier knew that the fans didn't care about it. What the fans wanted was results, and what the boss wanted was results. If he did well enough, he might have to pack up and leave like the former Liverpool coach.

"Although Arsenal's goalkeeper Taylor is as old as our Kirkland, it is undeniable that Taylor, like our Kirkland, is a talented goalkeeper in England. More importantly, Arsenal does not have a good goalkeeper. Taylor gets more playing time and grows rapidly. Baros and Litmanen, you two should pay attention, don't underestimate the opponent's goalkeeper just because he is young."

When Houllier talked about Taylor and Kirkland, everyone couldn't help laughing, even Kirkland laughed.But no one knew how forced Kirkland's smile was at the moment.

Taylor, who is young, can sit firmly as Arsenal's main goalkeeper. He is equally talented and young. Why is there such a big difference?Kirkland couldn't help thinking depressedly.

You must know that Kirkland has always believed that he is no worse than others, and sooner or later he will become the main goalkeeper of Liverpool's first team, especially after Liverpool's main goalkeeper Dutchman Westerveld left, Kirkland believes that it is time for him to become the team's main goalkeeper.

It's a pity that after all calculations, Kirkland can't count. After Westerveld left, the club would find the Polish Dudek, which instantly shattered Kirkland's dream.

It's a pity that Kirkland didn't show it all, and he didn't dare to show it. He just continued to endure the substitute position silently.

"Although the opponent's defense Toure is young, with the help of Campbell, he has become an excellent defender. The only thing you two forwards need to do is to try to break through Toure and Campbell, and try to get close to Taylor to score. Understand."

Houllier's words were addressed to the team's forward Czech boy Baros and Finn Litmanen. When they heard Houllier's words, they both nodded to express their understanding.

Seeing Houllier giving instructions to Baros and Litmanen, George looked at the three of them depressed. Obviously, from Houllier's words, it can be seen that the two starting today are naturally Baros and Litmanen, which makes George not depressed.

"Tunisian Tunisian Trabelsi and Cole, who are two full-backs on the opposite side, believe me, needless to say, you must pay attention to the forward assists of the two, especially the damned Cole. You must not relax your vigilance with this guy, but since they like forward assists, then if you have a chance, you should also take advantage of their forward gaps and give them a quick counterattack."

In the following time, Houllier took advantage of the limited time to quickly explain to the Liverpool players what they need to pay attention to when waiting for the game, but time waits for no one. Amidst the shouts of the staff, Houllier could only stop what he hadn't finished ordering and let the players prepare for the game.

Because Houllier knew that it was not the first time that his teams and Arsenal's opponents had played against each other. The strengths and characteristics of both sides were well known, and there was no need to explain them at all.

At present, the only thing Houllier hopes is that his players will not be careless. You must know that the game against Arsenal is not an ordinary match. Arsenal is a strong team.

"Fans and friends at the scene, friends in front of the TV, the 10th round of the Premier League match is about to begin. The two sides are Liverpool and our great Arsenal. Look~ players from both sides have entered the field. Fans, let us welcome our great Arsenal."

Obviously, the commentator of the stadium is an out-and-out Arsenal fan. When introducing Liverpool, his tone was average, indifferent and calm.

Once he talked about Arsenal, his tone suddenly became very excited, and the fans at Highbury also cooperated with the commentator very much. Whenever the name of an Arsenal player was read, Highbury would burst into enthusiastic cheers.

When thinking of the team's defensive general Campbell, midfielder Vieira, striker Henry, Bergkamp, ​​and head coach Arsene Wenger, the cheers of the Highbury fans became even higher, which shows the status of these people in the hearts of Arsenal fans.

Starting rosters for both sides:
Arsenal:
Goalkeeper: Taylor

Defender: Campbell Toure, Trabel Sikor

Midfielder: Vieira (Captain) Edujungberg Pires

Forward: Bergkamp Henry

Liverpool:
Goalkeeper: Dudek
Defender: Henjoz Hypyia Baberriser
Midfielder: Harman McSlett, Murphy Redknapp (captain)

Forward: Litmanimbaros
"Yeah~ Guess who I saw. I saw Alan George, the little prince of Liverpool. Hehe, it seems that Liverpool is really going through a bad time. One of the two main forwards is suspended and the other is injured. At present, Houllier has no choice but to bring the little prince of Liverpool into the team. It seems that Liverpool has no one to use."

While George was watching the environment at the Highbury Stadium, he suddenly heard the commentator on the scene talking about himself. George couldn't help being stunned. Could it be that he is really so famous? He only appeared in the Premier League for the first time this time, and he attracted the attention of others.

In fact, George underestimated himself. Although George is very low-key, the British media is not low-key. Coupled with the deliberate publicity of Liverpool Club, George has long been famous throughout England and even Europe.

George is currently appearing in Liverpool's first team, and the commentator will naturally not forget to introduce George.

"However, it is a pity that the little prince of Liverpool is just a child. I hope that our players will work harder and tell Liverpool boys that Highbury is not where you came from. You are just a child and not suitable for playing in the Premier League. At that time, I don't like the little prince of Liverpool crying. Then others will say that we are bullying children at Arsenal!"

Just when George was fantasizing, he suddenly heard the commentator's tone change, and began to belittle himself and look down on himself. Thinking of this, George couldn't help but feel a burst of anger.

Indeed, from childhood to adulthood, no matter where he is or who he is playing against, George has always been the focus.This time it was originally because of the excitement of being on the Premier League for the first time, but because of the commentator's words, especially the sarcasm in the words, it disappeared.

Although George is very popular in Liverpool, this is only for Liverpool fans. This is London, Arsenal's home stadium, Highbury Stadium, and most of the people in the stadium are Arsenal's team.

For Arsenal fans, no matter who the opponent is, how good they are, or whether they are good or not, as long as they are not members of their own team, as long as they are enemies, they will definitely boo them to show their welcome.

Following the commentator's words at the scene, the Arsenal fans booed very well in order to express their welcome to George, the greatest talented shooter in England's history, who was named by the media.
