Chapter 87 Return of the Red Army Captain
After scoring a free kick, George was very excited to run and celebrate. After all, this goal can be said to be George's first direct free kick in the Premier League, and the opponent is Chelsea, and the goalkeeper is the experienced Cudicini.Although the goal this time is more due to Murphy. After all, it was really the cover of Murphy, Liverpool's first penalty shooter. Otherwise, I am afraid that there is no way to deceive the experienced Cudicini. You must know that Cudicini is prepared. It is not an easy task to break through the gate.All this did not affect George's mood.

"Nice job." But when George ran near the midfield, Gerrard rushed over and yelled loudly, knocked George to the ground, and began to ruthlessly ravage George's hair.

When George was just about to speak, other Liverpool players also ran over and began to join Gerrard's ravaging army. George was overwhelmed for a while, even if he wanted to speak, he couldn't speak.

Seeing the celebration of the Liverpool players, the Blues fans were not happy, and kept booing deafeningly.There were even some Blues fans who were relatively close to the place where Liverpool players were celebrating, and even cursed in their mouths.

Seeing this situation, the referee also considered the mood of the Blues fans, and then urged the Liverpool players to end the celebration and hurry up the game.You must know that some Chelsea fans' scolding is really too much. The referee does not want to see a certain Liverpool player Cantona possessed, rushing to make two moves with Chelsea fans.

George and the others also knew that this was Chelsea's home court, and it wasn't fun to score too many points, so they followed the referee's wishes, ended the celebration in a hurry, and started the game.

In the 51st minute, Lampard dribbled the ball 30 meters away from Liverpool's goal and shot an angry shot, but was saved by Dudek amidst the laments of Chelsea fans.

Immediately after the corner kick was taken, Desailly headed the goal wide under the interference of Hyypia. Three minutes later, Chelsea made a comeback, but Gudjohnsen's shot was blocked by Henkez.

It can be said that during these 10 minutes, Chelsea launched a crazy attack and started a crazy attack on Liverpool's goal.But fortunately, Liverpool's defensive strength is not bad. Facing Chelsea's crazy attack, although the defense is very difficult, they still succeeded in ensuring that the goal was not lost.

"I can't go on like this. Chelsea is crazy now. If we don't make changes, I'm afraid it will be dangerous." As an assistant coach, Thompson couldn't help but said to the head coach Houllier when he saw Chelsea's offensive.

As a senior coach, Houllier certainly understands that the current situation on the field is not good for Liverpool, and at the same time understands the truth that if you defend for a long time, you will lose.But facing the current situation, Houllier couldn't think of any solution for a while. After all, Chelsea's morale has been boosted. It would be too early to change players now.

"Let's wait, it's too early to make substitutions." Houllier thought for a while and decided to believe that the players on the field could withstand Chelsea's attack, so he didn't intend to make substitutions.

Being able to serve as Houllier's assistant coach, Thompson also knows very well that it is indeed too early to make a substitution, and even if it is a substitution, it may not have any effect. After all, Chelsea's morale has already improved.

However, as an assistant coach, Thompson's responsibilities made Thompson remind Houllier even though he knew that Houllier had nothing to do with the current situation on the court.Hearing Houllier's words now, Thompson didn't say anything, just carefully watched the situation on the court.

"Damn it!" Harman worked extremely hard to remove the ball from Lampard's feet, looked at Lampard who was still alive and kicking up from his side, and couldn't help cursing.

In fact, Haman's physical energy is consumed a lot now. After all, Haman, as a defensive midfielder, needs to participate in both the team's offense and defense.

At the same time, as Liverpool's main defensive midfielder, Harman also starts every game, and his current physical fitness has been seriously consumed.At the beginning of the game, Harman could easily defend Lampard by virtue of his experience and body.But as the game reached the second half, Harman, who was obviously lacking in physical fitness, had difficulty keeping up with Lampard's footsteps, and defense was naturally very difficult.

You must know that Harman is a defensive midfielder. Liverpool is the last offensive player of the team when it is attacking, and Harman is the team's first line of defense when the team is defending.It can be said that Harman's performance is very important to Liverpool.

"Ditmar's physical consumption is obviously already very high. Now it is difficult to keep up with Lampard's footsteps. It seems that he is about to prepare for a substitution."

For Haman's situation, Houllier naturally saw it in his eyes, and found that Haman was already exhausted physically and could no longer pose a threat to Lampard, so he began to consider substituting.

Houllier looked at the players on the bench, frowned and thought for a while and said, "Jamie, get ready to warm up."

Redknapp, who was sitting on the bench, was taken aback when he heard Houllier's words, but he reacted immediately. He quickly took off the special vest for Liverpool players that was put on outside the jersey, revealing the jersey he was wearing, and began to wrap around the pitch to warm up.

In the 65th minute, Zola relied on the chance of a free kick and seemed to tell everyone that although Zola is old, my free kick is definitely world-class.It's a pity that Zola's luck was a bit bad this time. A tricky shot hit the crossbar and was ejected from the bottom line. Amidst the huge lamentation of the Chelsea fans, Houllier knew it was time to make a change. He immediately called Redknapp, who was warming up, and began to replace Hamann.

"Jamie, after you get on the field, switch positions with Steven and let Steven be the defensive midfielder. Use his body and stamina to crucify that damned Lampard for me. As for what you need to do, I believe you don't need me to say, you understand."

Seeing that coach Houllier was about to replace him, Haman was not at all dissatisfied. After all, Haman's physical energy consumption is very serious now, and it can even be said that he is unable to play normally.

As a veteran player, Harman naturally knew that it would be beneficial for Liverpool to replace him now, so Harman was not dissatisfied in the slightest. He trotted to the sidelines and gave Redknapp an affectionate hug.

Redknapp ran into the field very excitedly. Since he was injured in the game, Redknapp has not set foot on the field for a long time.Although excited, Redknapp did not forget the head coach's instructions and told Gerrard to let Gerrard take Harman's position and himself to take Gerrard's position.

At this moment, Hyypia also ran over from the backcourt and handed the captain's armband on his arm to Redknapp.Although Hyypia is the captain on the field, he is only the captain when Redknapp is no longer on the field. To put it bluntly, he is the second captain.

Redknapp did not hesitate to take over the captain's armband that Hyypia gave him. As the captain of a team, Redknapp has a natural arrogance.

Liverpool's substitution was just a small episode and did not affect the progress of the game.Chelsea's offense is still extremely fierce, and Liverpool can only defend with all their strength.

It has to be said that when Gerrard and Lampard met, it was like fate between the two virtues, and a war started.

If the two knew that they had fought in the Premier League for many years, I don't know how they would feel.

(There is actually no way to change it today. Many book friends who have been following this book since the beginning should know that Madman has at least two updates a day every month, and sometimes more. There is no way. Due to work reasons, please forgive me.)
