football killer

Chapter 44 First Appearance
In the 11th minute of the game, captain Redknapp passed the ball to Murphy on the wing. Murphy quickly made a pass from the bottom with his own speed. The football jumped high and flew towards Arsenal's penalty area. Unfortunately, the Arsenal goalkeeper Taylor jumped high and caught the football in time.

In the 24th minute, Harman intercepted Ljungberg's pass and passed it directly to Baros. Baros just turned around and wanted to speed up. Vieira, who was rushed over, made a fierce tackle and broke the football.

In the 29th minute, Hyypia placed Henry at the front of the penalty area. With the referee's whistle, Arsenal got a 24-meter free kick. Arsenal's free throw experts, Bergkamp and Pires, both stood on the penalty spot. With the referee's whistle, Bergkamp hit the goal directly, and the football flew towards the goal in an arc.

In the 37th minute, Liverpool suffered another blow. The soul of the team, captain Redknapp, was dribbling the ball and was knocked to the ground by Vieira's extremely vicious tackle.

Although Vieira got the first yellow card since the opening, Redknapp was injured and fell to the ground because of Vieira's fierce tackle this time. Seeing Redknapp suffering on the ground, Houllier's heart was bleeding.

At present, the team has lost two main forwards, and even the captain of the team, Redknapp, has also been injured. This directly adds a handful of salt to Liverpool, which is already scarred.

In the end, after getting the quick inspection report from the team doctor, Redknapp was unable to continue to play. I am afraid that it is not just this time, and he will not be able to continue to play for at least two months.

Faced with this situation, Houllier had no choice but to let Gerrard play directly. Because the incident happened suddenly, Gerrard didn't even warm up, so he took off his coat and rushed into the field.And Liverpool's captain's armband was worn on Hyypia's arm.

For the next period of time, both sides had offense and defense, and neither got more chances to score. With the referee's whistle, both sides could only end the first half of the game.

"Damn Baros, what the hell did you do in the first half, what are you, you are a striker, you are a professional footballer, not a tourist. You came to Highbury not to see the scenery here, but to let you score goals, damn it, see for yourself, what did you do in the first half of the game, not even a threatening shot!"

As soon as he entered the lounge, Houllier began to explode completely, and the first to be bombed was the Czech Baros.

Although so far, Barosh still doesn't understand what Houllier is saying thanks to, but Barosh is not a fool. He naturally knows that he played very badly in the first half of the game. The coach talks to himself with a face of murder, and he is definitely not praising himself.

At this moment, Baros understood very well that the coach is currently in a state of volcanic eruption and must not be messed with.He didn't say anything, just sat aside with a sad face and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"Rise, damn it, don't you usually like to go forward and assist? Sometimes I ask you to play avant-garde and you are also very happy. Look at what you did in the first half. You didn't step into Arsenal's half. What happened to you?"

Seeing that Barosh lowered his head and dared not speak, Houllier directly pointed the contradiction at Riise.

"I want to tell you that the conceded goal is none of your business. You are an offensive guard. When the team buys you, what they value is your defensive and assist ability. In the second half, I want you to boldly go forward and assist. Is there any problem?"

"Yes, coach, I will definitely go forward in the second half." Hearing Houlier's words, Riise promised loudly.

"As for the defense, Hyypia, you are also an old member of the team. I believe you don't need to say anything, you should know what to do, otherwise, the captain's armband on your arm will not be given to you."

Facing Hypia, Houllier's anger is still a little bit less. Indeed, for a stable type like Hypia, Liverpool's Dinghaishenzhen, Houllier is very relieved, knowing that he doesn't need to say anything, Hypia will know what to do.

"You know the coach, don't worry, I will watch the damn Dutchman and Frenchman to death in the second half."

Hyypia spoke confidently, but suddenly remembered that his head coach was also French, and it seemed a bit exaggerated for him to say so, but at the moment, Houllier didn't have the mind to care about these things at all, and he didn't pay attention. He just took the time to explain to the players how to play in the second half of the game.

The short intermission passed quickly, and under the reminder of the staff, Houllier had no choice but to stop the tactical explanation, and could only applaud for the players to start playing and continue the game.

With a whistle, the game started again. Houllier stood on the sidelines and looked at the players on the field. At the same time, he looked at the players sitting on the bench from time to time, as if he was thinking about something.

As soon as the second half of the game started, there was a stalemate between the two sides. The defense of the two teams was impenetrable. Under the leadership of Vieira, the fierce captain, Arsenal began to tackle frequently.And Liverpool also began to become fierce at this time, especially under the leadership of Hyypia, a usually gentle man, they began to fight and tackle fiercely.

For a while, the whole court was very fierce, and because of Hyypia's fierceness, everyone immediately felt that the game on the court was not a match between Arsenal and Liverpool, but a match between Arsenal and Manchester United.

Henry plays speed, okay, you can play, Hypia doesn't care so much, he rushed over and hit Henry with his strong body, ignoring Henry's aggrieved expression, Hypia patted his butt, and directly stood in the penalty area to direct the defense.

Bergkamp, ​​you are good at technology, you are powerful, that’s right, but Henjoz doesn’t care so much, the more and more aggressive tackles made Bergkamp completely frozen by Henjoz at this time, Bergkamp looked at Henjoz, and couldn’t help but spit hard, damn, you shovel when you tackle, but all the tackles are aimed at my feet. Is this a tackle or a tackle?

Arsenal's striker has been frozen, but Liverpool's striker is also having a hard time. Although Litmanen has rich experience, it is a pity that under the defense of Campbell, there has been no good chance. As for Baros, he has been defended by Toure and is on the verge of collapse. The two have even had one or two quarrels.

"George, get ready to warm up." He was watching the game on the court calmly, but when he heard Houllier's words, George was blindfolded for a moment, unable to react.

"Why, you don't want to play. Since that's the case, I'll change someone else." Seeing George's puzzled expression, Houllier didn't have any intention of explaining anything to George at the moment, but just roared angrily.

"No need, coach, I can do it, I'll go now." Amidst Houllier's roar, George finally understood that his chance to play had finally come, so he quickly took off his coat and began to warm up along the side of the court.

With Toure's vicious tackle, Baroche had another dispute with Toure, but Toure was not good-tempered. With Vieira as the fierce captain, Toure also developed a violent temper.

Facing Barosh's quarrel, Toure unceremoniously got up from the ground, put his head on Barosh, and cursed in a low voice.

Seeing that the two had a quarrel, the referee immediately ran over and showed a yellow card to each of them, so that the quarrel between the two did not continue to escalate.

And at the side of the pitch at this moment, Liverpool finally made a substitution, with No. 5 off and No. 21 on.
