Chapter 82 Against the Blues
Although the current blue team Chelsea is not as strong as when Abramovich becomes Chelsea, the current Chelsea is definitely a strong team in the Premier League, and it is a team that any team will have a headache for.

Headaches are headaches, but the game still has to be played after all. On the second day after the match with Manchester United, Houllier brought Liverpool's soldiers to London, ready to start recharging their energy and recharging their batteries for a good game.

"Chelsea is hard to deal with!" Looking at the Chelsea information prepared by assistant coach Thompson, Houllier frowned involuntarily.Because the information is very clear, although the current Chelsea is not as good as their own Liverpool, nor is it as good as Arsenal and Manchester United, but Chelsea's strength is beyond doubt, it is definitely a strong team.

Especially in the last few games, Chelsea has won five consecutive victories, including strong teams such as Fulham and Newcastle United, which shows that Chelsea's current momentum is in full swing.

"Yeah, Chelsea is not easy to play, especially the talented midfielder Lampard that Chelsea has just attracted this season. He is definitely a world-class player. Regarding Lampard, I have to say that Ranieri, among other things, is more accurate in terms of people, and he is very decisive. Otherwise, he would not have bought Lampard directly with more than 1000 million."

Hearing what the assistant coach Thompson said next to him, Houllier couldn't help but frowned, and carefully looked at the information Thompson gave him, especially several important players of Chelsea. Among them, Lan Chelsea's backcourt core, grandfather is captain Desailly, midfielder Lampard and striker veteran Zola have the most information.

"Forget it, no matter what he does so much, no matter how difficult it is to fight, we still have to fight. Prepare well. No matter who the opponent is, our Liverpool will never be afraid."

After thinking about it, his team is no worse than Chelsea, or even stronger. Thinking of this, Houllier also feels that he doesn't need to worry too much.However, this does not mean that Houllier is arrogant. On the contrary, Houllier understands very well that if he wants to beat Chelsea, he must first freeze Lampard, the core midfielder of the opponent.

Although Zola is very powerful, but after all, he is too old to guarantee that he can keep running for the ball like young players, and more needs to rely on midfielders to feed the ball.As for Desailly, although he is very powerful, he is only a defender. At most, he is threatening when Chelsea takes corner kicks.

At the same time that Houllier thought this way, he really started to do so. In the team training the next day, Houllier made a special trip to let Gerrard and Harman be partners to practice zone defense. He made it clear that when the game came, he would use two zone defenses to freeze Lampard.

Although Lampard used two players alone, Houllier still thinks it is very worthwhile. After all, Liverpool lost Harman and Gerrard, and Maxlett and Murphy are not bad.But Chelsea is different. Without Lampard's organization, the attack power will be at least halved.

In fact, it is not only Gerrard and Harman who are practicing zone defense, but Houllier also has the characteristics of Gudjohnsen, allowing the team's defenders to practice in a targeted manner.Of course, Houllier did not dare to underestimate Chelsea's most terrifying killer, Zola, and directly planned to let Henkez be Zola's bodyguard during the game, protecting (defending) the whole court.

Naturally, George and others were inevitably pulled aside by Houllier, and Hypia was in charge of it, and started the physical confrontation practice.

It has to be said that Hypia's body is very strong, especially after getting the order of the head coach Houllier, facing several forwards such as George and Irving, all of them are mainly physical, and they broke a few footballs under their feet very brutally.

It can be said that Hypia's defense is very fierce. If George and the others didn't know that Hypia did this at the order of the head coach Hollier, I'm afraid they really thought that they accidentally offended Hypia somewhere, which made Hypia so aggressive towards them, almost wanting to waste their legs.

"Damn it, I said Sammy, although the head coach asked you to do this, but you don't need to be so serious, you almost crippled me this time."

Hypia put a fierce sliding shovel directly on Litmaning, and sat on the ground. Litmaning looked at his good buddy who was smiling at him, and couldn't help talking.

Not to mention the thrill just now, if Litmanen hadn't reacted quickly, I'm afraid Hyypia would have both his feet crippled if he slowed down a step.

"Hey buddy, don't say that. This is what the head coach ordered. As a moral professional player, I have to obey the head coach's arrangement. Besides, I'm more careful about the scale. You guys look embarrassed, but you haven't suffered any real injuries. Besides, I'm doing this to you. You know, that damn Gallas of Chelsea won't be as polite as me then."

Both of them are Finnish. Among the entire Liverpool team, Hypia has the best relationship with Litmanen of a country. Hearing Litmanen, Hypia smiled wickedly.

Hearing Hypia's words, Litmanen looked at Hypia suspiciously, and found that there was nothing abnormal about Hypia, so he didn't say anything, spit, and continued training.

Seeing Litmanen turn and walk away, Hyypia couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he thought to himself: You guys are so arrogant, bragging about how powerful you are all day long, and no defender can stop you. Today, I finally have this opportunity to fight you to death. How can I feel sorry for myself.

Seeing Litmanen getting up from the ground depressedly, and preparing to continue training, George couldn't help but exchanged glances with Owen beside him.Damn, it seems that the hard days are not over yet, even Litmanen can't do anything, what else can I say to Hypia, let's continue to practice and let Hypia ravage me.

As the training continued, Hypia knocked George and the others off their feet for a while. George and the others felt very depressed, but Hypia felt very refreshed.

In the end, if the head coach Houllier hadn't seen the training of several people, he would have been a little too serious. He was afraid that some players would be injured before the game, so he quickly stopped the training.

With the progress of the Premier League schedule, the players have experienced a long campaign, and it can be said that the consumption of physical energy is very huge. The current players in various positions of the team can be said to be seriously deficient in terms of physical fitness.Houllier also didn't want his players to spend all their precious physical energy on training, and began to let the players start physical recovery training.Although Houlier also knew that he would not be able to recover much in such a day, but a little bit of recovery was better than nothing.

As night fell on the second day, countless Chelsea fans began to walk from all directions towards the holy land of Stamford Bridge, because today their team ushered in Liverpool at home. Chelsea fans all hope that their team can win the home game and give themselves a Christmas gift in advance.

Maybe it's because Chelsea's current results are not bad, which has given the Blues fans a lot of encouragement, or because the Blues fans want to see how their team beat Liverpool at home. In short, today's Stamford Bridge is full of seats.

The severe cold did not stop the enthusiasm of the fans. In the Stamford Bridge Stadium, the fans continued to sing Chelsea's team anthem with their own enthusiasm. At the same time, the commentators on the scene also explained the history of the two teams.
