Chapter 674 Battle at Anfield (seeking a monthly ticket)(1/2)
"I've said it long ago that this car should be eliminated." The young policeman said when he saw that the on-board radio had not been prepared.
The older police officer smiled and suddenly slapped him.
Then, a sound came from inside:
"...We saw that Aston Villa's bus had arrived at Anfield Stadium. Head coach Fang Jue got out of the car. He did not accept an interview, but just waved to the fans..."
The other two young policemen looked at the old policeman in surprise.
"I tell you, this old guy has the best sound quality, and those new cars are not as good as it."
"This game is also very important for Liverpool. This is the battle of dignity of the Reds. The challenger came to Anfield..." the broadcast said.
"You guys say, when will we win the Premier League championship?" asked the young policeman.
"We will definitely win it in five years, and Aston Villa can win the championship, so we will definitely be able to do it," said another young police officer.
The old policeman didn't say anything.
At this time, a large group of Aston Villa fans walked by the police car in groups, singing Aston Villa's team songs happily.
"Hate Vera people." The young police officer cursed.
"D31, report on your situation." A rustling sound came from the walkie-talkie.
"D31 report, a group of Villa fans passed, some of them drank high, and their current condition is still normal, it's over."
"F62 reports, these conflicts occur, and support is requested."
“D31, reinforcement F62.”
“D31 received.”
"Let's go, there's work to do." The old policeman waved his hands at his two partners.
More than ten minutes later, two drunk and troubled Aston Villa fans and Liverpool fans were caught in the car roughly. The sirens rang out and drove away.
The sound of the police car radio broadcast, "Players on both sides have entered Anfield Stadium to warm up, and the two head coaches are standing on the sidelines..."
"Officer, the voice is too small to hear." A drunk Villa fan who was caught in the car shouted.
"This guy is right, I can't hear it." Liverpool fans also shouted.
"Didn't you two start fighting just now?" the young policeman asked when he saw the two guys.
"We just talked about it, Manchester United is our common enemy," Liverpool fans shouted.
"That's right." Aston Villa fans shouted.
The two of them had a bruised nose on their faces, but they were full of energy.
The players from both sides ended their warm-up and returned to the locker room.
The visiting team locker room at Anfield Stadium.
Fang Jue looked at the players who had already changed their jerseys and was ready to make the final mobilization.
"Forget the noise of the media and don't think about any undefeated records." Fang Jue said.
"For us, this is just an ordinary league. All we have to do is play every game well. Now, all, every effort is to stand on the championship podium after the season is over!"
"I only have one request, and devote all my energy to the game in front of me!"
"I heard some talk, and some people were curious about why I didn't argue with Hodgson."
"I don't bother with him. We are better than our opponents in the team's strength and condition. The game is played, and we can't win with a big mouth."
"I have confidence in you, so I don't bother to pay attention to him."
“That’s why.”
"Of course, I am better than Hodgson in comparison with the head coach." Fang Jue paused and said.
A burst of laughter came from the locker room, and the originally nervous mood and atmosphere relieved a little.
The media constantly exaggerates the unbeaten record of 41 games. Although Aston Villa is very proud, the players will inevitably be affected. If they keep thinking about creating unbeaten records of 41 games, they will always have psychological impact.
"You are right, victory belongs to us!"
"We are the winners!"
"Boss, will you say Hodgson is the winner at the end of the game?" Milner shouted.
"Of course!" Fang Jue laughed and said.
There was a burst of hilariousness in the locker room.
"Okay, I won't say much more about it. Let's step on Liverpool's body and continue moving forward!" Fang Jue waved his hand vigorously.
Anfield's home team locker room.
Hodgson was paced back and forth in the locker room, and the players were ready.
They stared at the head coach and waited for him to speak.
Hodgson was a little anxious. Although he looked confident when facing the media, he was actually very nervous.
The team is now ranked ninth, with only half of Aston Villa's points.
Such results obviously cannot satisfy Liverpool's senior management. Liverpool's senior management has given him an ultimatum. If the results cannot improve, he will be left with a bedding.
"Aston Villa must use what they are best at to counterattack with defense." After several laps of pace, Hodgson finally stopped, and he put his hands on the table and said to the player.
"So, we must not be impatient in this game, and do not give Villars a gap and opportunity to attack!
"If we are eager to score a goal and put a big push, we will be fooled."
"So, like I said before, in this game, we have to defend well, we can't attack."
"Not losing the ball is the first priority. Everyone knows that Aston Villa is best at defensive counterattacks. Therefore, I ask you to consider the first thing you need to consider in the game is defense."
The atmosphere in the locker room is a bit dull. Liverpool must keep a steady foothold in this game. This is what Hodgson has explained a long time ago. He has been practicing defensive counterattack tactics these days.
However, many Liverpool players have objections to Hodgson's tactical arrangement. They believe that at Anfield and at Liverpool's home court, they should be more proactive and should push out and attack.
Especially Liverpool captain Gerrard, he insisted that the reason why Anfield was at the devil's home court was because Liverpool had a courageous momentum in this stadium.
No matter who the opponent is, Liverpool is not afraid and dares to fight to the death.
Hodgson's tactics are too conservative.
"Do you understand what I said just now?" Hodgson asked.
Everyone shook their heads. No matter what, Hodgson was the head coach. Since he made the arrangements, even if the players had their own ideas, they could only obey them.
Of course, if Hodgson's tactics are effective and the game results are good, and naturally everything will be fine.
If you lose the ball, or even lose it ugly, this is the hidden danger of the chaos in Liverpool's locker room.
For a head coach, he can lead the team to win all the time, so prestige comes naturally, and everything he says is right.
However, when the team is in a bad condition, the head coach's prestige will be questioned, especially when some of his arrangements differ from the ideas of some players. Once the results are bad, the differences will be infinitely amplified.
A staff member came to knock on the door and reminded him that it was time to get on the stage.
"Go, this game, we fight for Liverpool's dignity."
"We must not lose!" Hodgson said at last.
Gerald frowned, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
"The coach is too conservative." Carragher said to Gerald on the way to the player's corridor.
"Not only conservative, but also, the coach seems to be lacking in confidence," Scotter said.
"Okay, stop talking." Gerald said, looking at his teammates, "Everyone will fight to the death in this game! Don't forget, this is Anfield!"
Although he has a lot of dissatisfaction with Hodgson, as the team captain, the battle is about to begin, and Gerald does not want to disrupt the morale of the army.
...
"This is the focus of the 16th round of the Premier League in the 2010/2011 season. Liverpool faces Aston Villa at home. If Aston Villa does not lose, it will set a record of 41 unbeaten games. This game has attracted the attention of domestic fans in England."
"We can see that Liverpool's Anfield Stadium is full..."
"Before the game, Hodgson expressed his confidence in winning this game many times." Linker, "But Fang Jue did not respond much to Hodgson's remarks."
The TV in the VIP box at Anfield Stadium is playing live commentary.
The commentator is introducing some of the "story" of this game to you.
Ronaldinho looked up at the TV for a while, took his gaze back, and looked at the full stands below to his brother, who was also his agent Assis, said: "The atmosphere in the Premier League stadium is amazing."
Assis nodded: "It's true. I've read the information. The attendance rate in the Premier League is very high. In fact, the attendance rate in the Championship is the highest in Europe."
"Really?" Ronaldinho was very surprised. He could hardly imagine that the English Champions League was in the Serie B. This comparison made him feel more direct.
"So, no matter what aspect, we choose the Premier League and Villa are very good choices." Assis said with a smile, pointing to the field, "Today you can observe the performance of your future teammates."
Ronaldinho also smiled, "I can't wait to play football with Ronnie again."
In the stadium, players from both sides had lined up and walked out of the corridor and appeared in front of the public. A burst of cheers like tsunamis came from the scene.
Assis also stood up and applauded, "Very great league, brother, feel the atmosphere of the Premier League." He said loudly.
