Chapter 90 Houllier's Countermeasures
"2, 2 to 0?" Zhan Jun couldn't believe it.

Liverpool just attacked well, why was the opponent scored another goal in a blink of an eye?
In the replay on the big screen, this attack started from Tang Wu again. After the ball passed under the feet of a teammate, it was directly sent to the "killer".

The whole coordination is simple, smooth, rough and effective.

Liverpool's defensive counterattack has been playing for so many years, and it has been birding all the year round. This time it was really pecked by geese.

"I can't see that Chelsea's defensive counterattack is so sharp." Huang Jianxiang couldn't help but sighed.

With the joy of a two-goal lead, the Blues returned to the dressing room at halftime.

As soon as the door was closed, La Nieli raised a face: "What does the mountain top mean?"

Crespo looked at Tang Wu, Lampard looked at Tang Wu, Makelele looked at Tang Wu, almost everyone looked at Tang Wu.

Tang Wu looked at Terry.

"Lightning!" Terry replied loudly after seeing Tang Wu's eyes like a child waiting for a teacher's question.

"It seems that this is not any language I have mastered now, is it?" La Nieli finally smiled.

"That's right, it's Chinese! It's Tang's mother tongue!" Terry responded aggressively again.

"Well, it is indeed lightning." La Nieli savored it carefully.

"Lightning" was Tang Wu's slogan when he was about to launch a fast attack.But shouting at the kick-off means that Tang Wu in the backcourt can make a goal-forward connection.

"Then how should I tell the reporter? Just say that these two goals come from a Chinese word?"

"Old man, just say that you arranged it on purpose." Tang Wu opened his mouth.

"How can this work?" Ranieli shook his head, "I'm not the kind of person who wants to take credit for players. I only gave you offensive instructions before the game, but I didn't say that you can't play fast breaks."

"But if you're self-defeating, I won't take the blame for you!" La Nieli finished speaking and winked at everyone.

The coach's joke made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. After all, this kind of spontaneous "risky" tactic must be held accountable.Now it seems that the coach did not pursue it, and the atmosphere in the locker room gradually became warmer.

"Old man, how do we play in the second half?" Lampard asked.

"Attack, of course it's still an offense!" Ranieri finished speaking, glanced at Mutu in the corner, and suddenly changed his tone, "However, I only give you 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, I don't want to see To the point where a player gets injured because of the offense."

"Okay!" Everyone agreed in unison.

Mutu in the corner took a deep breath and clenched his fists secretly.

10 minutes?Maybe that's enough!

……

"I think you've also seen that Chelsea have a sharp counter-attacker."

Houllier looked at the generals in front of him with a heavy expression on his face.

"He was out of the formation, but he was an integral part of the Chelsea squad."

"We can't make any intervention or tactical arrangements for him, because no coach will foolishly arrange for a player to guard the opposite goalkeeper!"

Having said that, Houllier glanced at Owen.

"We are good at defensive counterattacks, so we should know how to defend when the opponent also launches a counterattack. Michael, tell me what we should do when the opponent counterattacks?"

Owen, who was named, replied with a sullen face, "Forwards are the first line of defense, Mr. Houllier."

"What were you doing when Tom ran past you with the ball in his arms?"

"I..." Owen didn't expect Houllier to be so "relentless in pursuit".

"I won't make mistakes again!" Owen clenched his fists and said fiercely.

"Okay, that's good." Seeing Owen admitting his mistake, Houllier nodded, "It is undeniable that Chelsea this season is a strong team. The huge transfer fee allows them to have excellent players in various positions."

"However, I don't think this is the reason for our loss. Liverpool is not bad. I believe that as long as we play our own style in the second half, we will be able to equalize the score and even turn defeat into victory!"

"That's right!" the Red Army members roared.

The morale is available, and Houllier is also refreshed.

"Steven, you have to warm up, and you will be replaced in 10 minutes."

"Yes, Mr Houllier!"

"Chelsea will not give up their offense!" Houllier analyzed, "But after all, they have already led by two goals. For the sake of future games, they will gradually save their strength and drag the score to the end."

"So at the beginning of the second half, the frontcourt players including the strikers should focus on defense. But once Chelsea's attack slows down, we will attack with a thunderous momentum. The central players don't want to fight, and pass through whenever they have the opportunity. Long pass from the wing to open the space, looking for opportunities to cross, and try to equalize the score before they react!"

"Michael, you have to use your speed to play a greater role on the side, tearing apart the opponent's defense, and creating opportunities for teammates in the center. But don't be timid, you can cut inside whenever you have a chance!"

"Except for Harman and Xie Lu who have to participate in the attack in time, everyone else has to keep a close eye on the midfielder to prevent the opponent from counterattacking! Oh Shet, the Chinese goalkeeper throws the ball too far!"

Houllier muttered and continued: "Xielu, don't be afraid of wasting energy, you have to use up the opponent's energy as much as possible before Steven enters the field!"

"Henjozi, Hypia, you two are at the end, remember to offside when you have a chance! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Hypia and the two responded in unison.

After arranging everyone, Houllier came to Dudek's side: "Yerzi, in the second half, I think you should expand your range of activities like the goalkeeper on the opposite side."

"I know the coach." Dudek took a deep breath.

After the Red Army increases its offensive, the backcourt will definitely become more empty, and even if it is offside, there is no way to completely prevent the opponent's counterattack.

Only when the goalkeeper walks out of the penalty area can he cooperate with the defender to defend well.

"Could it be that the goalkeepers are all standing on the line of the penalty area to guard the goal?" Houllier smiled wryly, and put this "unrealistic" idea behind him.

At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea, as expected, once again pushed forward aggressively, implementing high-position pressing and positional warfare.

In the 47th minute, Glen Johnson made a successful steal in the frontcourt and brought the ball to the bottom line alone.

But before his teammates responded, the ball was destroyed by Traore.

"Mutu's attention is a bit lacking!" Huang Jianxiang said.

"Indeed, including the first half, the Romanian striker has missed at least five chances. If Hasselbaink were replaced, Chelsea's shots could be improved." Zhan Jun glanced at the statistics and responded.

If Mutu catches up immediately when Glenn Johnson steals, he can bring the ball into the opponent's penalty area even if it cannot be singled out.At that time, if you want to rub it or rub it, it's all up to you.

"Let's attack! Let's attack! Let's attack harder!" Houllier eagerly looked forward to it from the sidelines.

The slack and adaptation brought about by Chelsea's transition from offense to defense will not last long. In Houllier's view, the Red Army must at least seize the opportunity to score a goal before they have a chance to equalize or even come back!
The Blues threw a throw-in and the ball was at the feet of Glenn Johnson again.

Before the England teenager looked up to observe his teammates, a shout came from beside him.

"Hey Glenn, here, here!"

The familiar tone made Glenn Johnson move his feet and push the ball towards the source of the sound.

After getting the ball, Mutu was very excited, took the ball in a big stride, and speeded up instantly.

"Mutu breaks through..."

"Pass the ball to Crespo, two over one..."

"Crespo didn't choose to pass back, but gave the ball to Gremi on the other side."

"Gremy cross!"

"Oops! Mutu was in an offside position and he couldn't catch the ball. The ball was confiscated by Dudek."

At the end of the commentary, Huang Jianxiang felt a little regretful.

If Crespo and pass the ball back to Mutu, the ball might be single-handed!
"Why don't you pass back?" After losing another great scoring opportunity, Mutu finally couldn't control his anger, and shouted in front of Crespo.

"I think it's better to pass the ball to Gremi," Crespo said.

boom!
When the Blues No. 7 and No. 21 were arguing together, Dudek kicked the ball over their heads like a bomber.
