The Young Lion

Houllier formed a 451 formation at home today, and his tactical stance is naturally defensive. The two defeats two months ago made him realize that Liverpool can only play defensively to face Millwall.

Millwall took advantage of the field and took the initiative to attack.

When Liverpool defended, it was almost like a 631 formation.

The full-back closed the penalty area, the full-back retreated and became a full-back, and the remaining three midfielders became the barrier in front of the penalty area.

Carragher was originally arranged to play a full-back, but after he enters the penalty area, at least the defense will not be hit in the ribs like he was playing a full-back, and then turn around and be exploded.

Ronaldinho and Larson, the inside threat of these two cannot be ignored. Liverpool used a simple method to limit it. The full-back shrinks the penalty area, and there is almost no space in the ribs.

Thirty minutes into the game, Anfield was slightly silent.

The Red Army fans want to cry but have no tears.

The great Red Army, Liverpool, at home, in a stadium called Anfield, where Ferguson's Manchester United would feel extremely dangerous, was overwhelmed by the Lions and couldn't even make a decent counterattack!

Houlier breathed quickly and heavily, feeling very depressed.

His plan failed again.

The two wingers Ronaldinho and Larson played very smartly today. There was no space in the ribs. They did not advance, did not take the initiative to change positions, did not try to break through, and ensured that the ball was not lost. Then, the two of them pressed the back line , Dragging Liverpool's defense force, instead they kept sending shells to the teammates behind them. They were like a fort, which prevented Liverpool from counterattacking. It also allows teammates to launch long-range threats.

Larson is getting more and more evil with age. The ball is almost impossible to drop at his feet. The rationality of handling the ball can be called a textbook, and Ronaldinho has further improved his ability to read the game. He should make sudden moves, pass as needed, and now he is suppressing Liverpool through his own position.

He was active in the middle area between Liverpool's full-back and full-back, causing Liverpool's two points to conflict with each other. He did not dare to attack boldly because of too much consideration of defense. The same is true for Larson on the other side. Therefore, Liverpool's counterattack could not play a threat, and was slowed down just after halftime, and then faced Millwall's high press, and then turned into a positional battle, or lost the ball and was counterattacked.

Ronaldinho, who hadn't made a breakthrough in the first 30 minutes, was caught by Pedretti after a Liverpool counterattack just passed the center line and passed the ball directly to him. Ronaldinho suddenly accelerated, turned around and moved forward at high speed. Liverpool's defense line Also closed in the restricted area. Carragher's position is just standing on the inside of the penalty area line,

He saw Ronaldinho dribbling the ball at high speed. After the opponent stepped on a bicycle, Carragher subconsciously thought that Ronaldinho would cut in, so he directly blocked the inside line and moved the center of gravity. After Ronaldinho stepped on the bicycle, he continued to bottom.

When Carragher turned around to chase again, the distance was not too far away, but Ronaldinho made a cross directly after getting down to the bottom.

Klose was double-teamed by Hyypia and Henchoz, but none of the three managed to grab the point. The ball slipped past the goal, clearly exceeding the limit height of the three.

Ronaldinho himself did not pass the ball to Klose.

The real target is Larson at the back!

Klose was blocked by Hyypia and Henchoz. There is nothing to say. Now that the strength is so strong, Liverpool's 3h defensive combination does have good combat effectiveness.

However, Liverpool's defensive line has shrunk today, and there will still be small gaps exposed between retraction and release. This gap is due to the fact that part of the relatively large defensive area of ​​​​the central defenders has been handed over to the full-backs.

When Ronaldinho breaks through the bottom, Larson starts on the right, cuts in and goes to the back of the goal. Ronaldinho's pass arrives as expected, Riise follows the defense and wants to turn. Larsson grabbed the position, and Larsen separated Riise behind him on the route based on his experience. Even though Riise secretly pushed and pulled his hands, he still couldn't stop Larsen from taking off and heading the ball.

The movement of the header was a bit irregular. Larson turned his head sideways and shook his head to attack the goal, because Riise pulled his arm when he took off, and his center of gravity was a bit off, but he still tried his best to adjust his body in the air, with an irregular Action headers!

The ball flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal, dead corner!

The goal was scored! Millwall took the lead, Ronaldinho broke through from the left and made a pass, Larsson outflanked the goal and scored with a nod! There is a very good understanding between them!

As the commentator said, this is tacit understanding.

Ronaldinho didn't look at the situation in the penalty area at all before passing the ball, but he has trained together for several years and cultivated a tacit understanding in the game. He knows very well in his heart that as long as he passes the ball to which area, which teammate will appear there.

Larson didn't need to sign to Ronaldinho. As a forward, if he waited to see the ball before running, the daylily would be cold.

When Ronaldinho takes the ball forward, he starts to start. As for whether to go to the center or cut inside, it depends on Ronaldinho's next move. When Ronaldinho breaks through the bottom line, Larson will not hesitate. , Go directly to the back of the goal, this is the consciousness that a killer should have.

The Lions fans celebrated recklessly at Anfield and the Reds fans were heartbroken.

Aldridge stood up and applauded the team's goal. At the same time, he gave Pedretti a thumbs up, praising the opponent's precise steal and direct counterattack just now.

Just as Aldridge lowered his raised hand, he heard a burst of exclamation from the Liverpool coaching bench.

Girard! Girard! What's the matter with you?

Aldridge turned his head and saw that the Liverpool coaching bench was in chaos. The coaching staff and substitute players all gathered around the coach's seat.

This scene made Anfield quickly become quiet. The visiting Wild Lions fans stopped celebrating. The players on the field looked at the incident with unexpected expressions. The referee even trotted away. run over.

Although Aldridge and Houllier are opponents on the field today, he and Houllier have known each other for more than 5 years. Although the relationship is not particularly deep, they respect each other.

He ran to the Liverpool coaching bench and saw that Liverpool's team doctor was doing rescue measures for Houllier, as if, Houllier. Heart attack!

wtf! what are you looking at? call an ambulance!

have to say. Liverpool's medical team is terrible. This can be seen from Liverpool's geniuses who have been ruined by injuries one after another over the years, and Aldridge is not surprised.

But at this moment, life is at stake, and Liverpool's team doctor is still doing ordinary rescue measures. Everyone else is in shock and panic. At the exit of the Anfield stadium, the stadium management staff actually leaned over and talked with their heads on the sidelines, with curious expressions on their faces. .

Aldridge is roaring at these stadium staff!

In order not to let myself be distracted when directing the game. Aldridge's professional habit is that he will not carry a mobile phone with him during the game.

After being awakened by Aldridge's roar, the stadium staff immediately called an ambulance.

Aldridge went to see Houlier again, his face was covered with cold sweat, his brows were tightly frowned, his eyes were closed, and he was covering his heart with one hand, his face full of pain.

It's not a day or two that he has a heart attack. Where's his emergency medicine?

When Aldridge said this, the team doctor next to Houllier kept touching Houllier's pocket, not to mention, there was really medicine. Give it to him immediately.

But after he took it, the pain didn't seem to ease.

Anfield was dead silent.

Many Liverpool players held their heads on the periphery and looked dull. In the midst of grief it seemed unbelievable that such a thing could happen before my eyes.

The game must be suspended. The referee team was more like ants on a hot pot. They were at a loss and hurriedly reported the matter to the FA.

My God, Liverpool manager Gillard Houllier seems to be having a heart attack, maybe, maybe he was stimulated by seeing Liverpool score, hope he can come through and be safe.

Three minutes later, before the ambulance arrived, Houllier's condition got worse and he passed out.

The team doctor checked his pulse and heartbeat and said in horror: He's in cardiac arrest!

The peripheral players held their heads and turned around. Some players covered their mouths and noses with their hands, and their eyes were full of fear and sadness.

Aldridge shouted to Liverpool's team doctor, Give him CPR!

In Aldrich's family, there was also a heart attack, but not serious, his mother Amelia, so Aldrich knew some ways to deal with it.

But Liverpool's team doctor really left Aldridge speechless and flustered, how can he look like a half-doctor?

There is nothing to blame for this. The team doctors of football clubs are very different from doctors in traditional industries, and there are differences in academics.

Aldridge stood outside with one hand on his hips and the other hand in front of his mouth. He did it subconsciously, but everyone could see his worry.

No matter how many painful memories Millwall has created for Liverpool, no matter how many times Aldridge has despised Liverpool, the fans in the Anfield stands can't raise half a point of resentment against Aldridge. actions after the incident.

In such cases, it is often the truth.

Two minutes later, the ambulance drove directly into the stadium. Aldridge followed and watched as Houllier was sent to the ambulance. After being rescued by the team doctor in time with CPR, Houllier recovered when he got on the ambulance. He lost his heartbeat and pulse. Although he was still in a coma, at least it made people a little more optimistic.

Everyone at Anfield watched the ambulance drive away, and the game would continue, but the hearts of the fans, players and coaches became extremely heavy.

Some Red Army fans in the stands raised their scarves and began to sing You'll Never Walk Alone. It didn't take long for the singing to resound in the sky, but the singing became more tragic.

Although Liverpool fell behind at home and coach Houllier's heart attack was unpredictable, the singing at Anfield made us realize the extraordinaryness of Liverpool. The fans showed a spiritual will beyond the scope of football. What is happening at Anfield now It is extremely shocking, if you understand the cause and effect, standing here, no matter who you are, you will be moved, let us pray for Houllier, hope that he will be strong to overcome the disease and return to the Red Army! Return to the eyes of the fans middle!

Liverpool has no coach for the time being, and the assistant coach is temporarily directing the game. From a technical and tactical point of view, 90% of martial arts has been abolished, and the assistant coach is at best a decoration.

But in the heart-pounding singing at Anfield, the generals of Liverpool turned their grief into strength. They didn't know what tactics to play on the field. The players were like beasts, with extraordinary efforts, and seemed to use a victory. Come and pray for Hollier.

Aldridge was in a terrible mood.

He has coached the team for more than seven years, and for the first time he was distracted by factors other than football when directing the game.

The lingering image in my mind is Houllier holding his heart in pain, and the process of the ambulance driving away from the stadium.

He was distracted, and the Millwall players on the field were also a little distracted. The scene just now, when seen by ordinary people, must have touched their hearts. The sudden surprise attack by Liverpool turned the situation on the field upside down.

Before the end of the first half, Liverpool equalized the score. (to be continued...) ()
