Chapter 449 Three Battles with the Red Army ([-])

Even if it is a former teammate, at this time, Lampard will not show mercy.

Now both Lampard and Gerrard have been drafted into the national team. It is the luck of the England team and their misfortune that two excellent midfielders can emerge in the same era.

Fortunately, at least in midfield, England's manager need not be depressed by the lack of quality players.

Unfortunately, if two players are put on the field at the same time, then the effect will be bad - it is better to only use one of them.

Putting two excellent midfielders together did not produce a special chemical reaction, or this chemical reaction can only make the efficiency of each of them worse, it is better to fight alone.

But who to play and who to sit on the bench, isn't this a very tangled issue?

To leave either player on the sidelines would be a waste of money and would inflame their respective constituencies.

This is a problem that has plagued all England coaches!

Eriksson, who is currently the head coach of the England team, has many championship trophies, and he can be regarded as able to control the England national team. If it is replaced by another head coach, the effect will be even better. Worse.

No matter who is selected to play, there can only be one standard, that is, which player performs well and which one to use.

However, on weekdays, only club games are the best place to measure performance, and this kind of direct confrontation between two players will definitely attract Eriksson's attention-the old man is now sitting in the stands of the Emirates Stadium On the TV, the director just switched the scenes of Eriksson and other English football celebrities to the front of the TV.

With the head coach of the England team watching the game, how could it be possible for two players who are in a state of fierce competition not to work hard and overwhelm their opponents?
Back then, Shao Bo once thought about bringing Gerrardella to Arsenal when he was young. However, the other party did not have any desire to join Arsenal.

I once said this in a media interview, and even mentioned that Gerrard had been in contact with Manchester United, and asked him if he thought that Arsenal was inferior to Manchester United or something like that in his heart.

However, Gerrard's answer was very interesting. He said that at that time he just wanted to get a Liverpool youth contract, and neither Manchester United nor Arsenal had been in his consideration.

Gerrard has been a Liverpool fan since he was a child. He once said: "I play for Jon Paul."

Jon Paul is Gerrard's elder brother, who unfortunately died in the Hillsborough tragedy. With such an attitude, even Shao Bo is embarrassed to win over Gerrard. Anyway, there are not only excellent midfielders then one.

I can't say whether it was because of being rejected or some other emotions, at least in today's game, Shao Bo added Lampard's name on it without hesitation, and told him to work hard, and told him in advance Eriksson, the head coach of the England team, has also arrived (people of this level usually get free tickets from the club, and Shao Bo usually checks before the game to see who is eligible to be given free tickets. ).

It is Shao Bo's idea to inspire Lampard's fighting spirit and let him beat Gerrard.

Of course Lampard is ready to perform well, the head coach has already told him so clearly, how dare he be lazy in this game?

Win and repay the trust of the head coach!
Otherwise, the competition in Arsenal's team is so fierce, and there are not many players who can take their place. Klose lags behind, and Rosicky and Alonso can also step up.

Lampard knows that he is not an indispensable member of the entire team. The competition here is a bit too fierce.Although a little depressed and sad, he still knows that it is not easy to gain a foothold in a wealthy family.

If he shied away here because he felt the pressure of competition in Arsenal's team was too great, he would not achieve much anywhere.

The smart Lampard will not make such a mistake. He is very happy to continue to play in London and play for Arsenal.

I also know that only by playing better games and scoring more goals will I be valued more, and there is no point in thinking about anything else.

Because of this, even if Hyypia, a former teammate, senior, and friend from the dressing room in the past is standing in front of him, Lampard will not hesitate at all and rush over!

If the ball is passed to other teammates, this will not show Lampard's ability, so he did not choose to pass the ball to Rosicky who is in a better position, but dribbled the ball alone.

"Lampard! Oh..., this ball, how will the referee judge this ball?"

"Yellow card! Hyypia gets a yellow card! Arsenal get a free kick."

A yellow card!
This was something that neither Hypia nor Lampard had thought of. Originally, he just wanted to get rid of Hypia quickly, but who knew that he didn't succeed.

Even if Hypia got a yellow card, it is not such a wonderful performance.

And Hypia was even more depressed. He didn't expect to get a card soon after the game, and because of the accumulation of yellow cards, he might have to go home to rest in the next Champions League game.

After the result of this penalty came out, the faces of both of them were not very good.

Hypia's movement was not too big, but anyway, Lampard still fell to the ground.After Hypia pulled Lampard up, the two glanced at each other, nodded and said nothing.

A free kick a little far from the penalty area is not of great actual value, and the only way to score is to try a header.

Henry and the others are both in the penalty area. Although Henry's header is not very good, if there is a chance of a sneak attack and a successful shot, he will never show mercy to his opponent and deliberately show his broad-mindedness.

Of course, football games are about pursuing victory and thinking about other things. Isn't it all because of overthinking and having nothing to do when you are idle?

Lampard kicked with great strength and momentum, so this far free kick was handed over to Lampard to take the penalty.

How long before the game started, Arsenal got a free kick. Although it didn't look like a chance to score, it also made Liverpool's players a little upset.

Especially Gerrard, he and Lampard have always been in a fierce competitive relationship, and the two often need to fight directly for their respective clubs. In this case, how could the relationship between the two be so tense? okay?

Arsenal's free kick threat didn't seem too big, but Liverpool still ran back to the penalty area to prepare for defense.

Arsenal is now the team with the strongest offensive power in the Premier League. Their number of goals ranks first in the Premier League. Even in Europe, they are second only to Real Madrid and Barcelona.

If it weren't for the high number of goals conceded, and sometimes a big win, and a small defeat or Xiaoping, Arsenal would have already surpassed Chelsea in the standings, leaving Mourinho speechless Come.

Sitting on the coach's bench, Shao Bo didn't pay too much attention to the result of this free kick.

Not long after the start of the game, what they need is three consecutive protracted games, and now they have to learn to save some strength.

Of course, in the first game, the opponent must be crushed with a thunderous offensive, so as to gain an advantage in the next two games.

However, for this game alone, this free kick is still too early.

Shao Bo believes in his players and has the ability to win this game.

This free kick was a bit out of his expectation, so let the players arrange it themselves.

He needs to look at the situation on the field again in order to make appropriate arrangements.

At this time, both Arsenal players and Liverpool players are ready in the penalty area.

A good header like Klose is of course obliged to stand at the gate, but Liverpool's defensive players will not forget the threat posed by Klose.

Beside him, there are two players, Finnan and Carragher, who are ready and have been suppressing Klose. They just don't give him any suitable jumping position. Once he is ready to head the ball, he will immediately grab it. He jumped in front of him, disrupting Klose's rhythm.

Just to defend him alone, Liverpool needs to send two professional defenders. From this, it can be seen how afraid Liverpool is of Klose.

And whether it's Klose, Henry, or Ronaldo, they all have dedicated personnel to defend, everyone will be taken care of, and no Arsenal player will feel that he has been "left out".

However, all Liverpool's defenses were useless this time. Because Lampard's free kick was too hard, it went directly over the goal frame and flew directly out of the boundary.

"Beep!" The referee blew his whistle, and this time Liverpool's players got the ball again.

Dudek kicks off.

Now that the ball has crossed the sideline, Arsenal's caddy took it out and handed it to Dudek.

However, just as Dudek smiled and opened his hands to catch the ball, the young caddy threw the ball up, and the ball just passed Dudek and landed on the penalty area.

"Yo!"

This is the provocative voice of Arsenal fans. They just want to irritate Dudek and make him unable to rationally judge the path of the ball shot by the opponent in the game.

Being able to cause a little interference to the goalkeeper, these fans will also feel that they have made a great contribution to the team's victory in the game.

Is this something to be encouraged?

Although Shao Bo does not advocate this approach, every club and every fan organization is essentially doing this.

Just like how Shao Bo used it to create an atmosphere at home, he also used it to oppress the mentality of the opponent players, trying to interfere with them, but the methods were different, and there was a distinction between superior and inferior.

Essentially, there is no difference.

This free kick failed to pose a threat to Liverpool's gate, and Shao Bo sighed slightly in his heart. After all, this free kick was too far from the penalty area. Lampard's strength is really not small, but even if he can improve a few more It's useless for accuracy.

It's too far away, but the speed of the ball cannot be as fast as an airplane. Most players can judge the trajectory of the ball and stop it in time.

With so many players gathered in the penalty area, Shao Bo didn't believe he had such good luck.

Instead of pinning the victory of the game on illusory luck, it is better to make solid preparations before the game.

Fortunately, this free kick doesn't look like a big threat to anyone, so even if it fails to score a goal, it will not cause much blow and impact to Arsenal's players.

The game will continue, Dudek only regained his composure when his face changed, and turned back to pick up the ball.

To him, such a scene is nothing, just a drizzle?
Put the ball in the prescribed position and kick it out.

The game starts again!
……

After the game started, Shao Bo was still sitting on the coach's bench, while Benitez stood on the sidelines with a small notebook and memorized something.

It is probably intended to be used as a summary of the first half during the intermission, and then to change tactics in the second half and find a way to beat Arsenal.

Shao Bo usually chooses this method sometimes, there is nothing to say, it is just a habit of a coach.

After making sufficient preparations, Shao Bo now feels that at least the current situation is not worth taking out his small notebook to write and draw.

He believes that during this period of time, the sweat of the players will not be in vain.

Arsenal will definitely win this game!

Seeing the stalemate in the game, both teams shot occasionally but failed to score, Shao Bo couldn't help but think of the short leisurely days when they just defeated Auxerre before preparing for this game.

After returning to North London, Shao Bo still remembered that he once played table tennis with Lahm, Schweinsteiger and others all afternoon.

The table tennis training and competition systems of Germany and Sweden are no worse than those of China. Although they have been a little quiet in recent years, they still have good players such as Waldner and Bohr.

Another sigh. After the match with Liverpool is over, they probably won't have time to play table tennis anymore.

This season is coming to an end, and it is time to go all out and prepare for the Premier League and Champions League championships. How can there be extra time to play table tennis?
This is no easier sport than playing a game!
In a daze, Shao Bo looked at Schweinsteiger sitting on the bench, wondering whether to replace him in the second half of the game.

Now the situation is not open, if there are substitutions, will there be some changes?
To be honest, the tenacity of the Liverpool team was somewhat beyond Shao Bo's expectations. It really deserves to be the team that once created a miracle in Istanbul. Although Harvey Alonso was currently playing for Arsenal at that time, But it does not affect Liverpool's search for an excellent midfielder.

Even if it is not exactly the same as Harvey Alonso, similar in strength is enough.

What more can you ask for?
Isn't the club just for the victory of the game, who cares whether it is Alonso or not.

Whether or not Schweinsteiger will play makes Shao Bo entangled. If he plays, then Alonso can only replace him.

Even if the current Schweinsteiger is all-around midfielder, it is a pity that his performance is not very good when he is a full-back or a central defender.

Only with the cover of teammates in front, in front of a defensive line, behind the offensive group, can he be able to feel like a fish in water.

There was still some time before the first half of the game ended, and Arsenal got several free kicks. However, Hyypia paid attention to himself at these times and did not give the referee another chance to take out the Ruby God of War card.

Otherwise, although he will definitely not be able to play in the second half of the game, his absence at this time will definitely bring huge troubles to Liverpool.

Maybe, Arsenal, which has an advantage in the number of personnel, will soon win, and even directly gain an advantage that Liverpool can't match in this game, making the second Champions League game meaningless.

He had played under Shao Bo for several years, and he knew Shao Bo very well. He knew that when Shao Bo was pursuing victory, if he could use one game to win, he would never waste the physical energy of the players. It was still so hard in the second game.

This is a spirit of "specializing in chasing down the poor".

But it also let Hyypia know the defensive pressure they are currently facing, which will definitely continue until the end of the whole game.

For the sake of victory, Shao Bo will not care about other things.

Taking advantage of the ball rolling to the border to serve another throw-in, Hyypia took a look at Shao Bo, and saw him sitting on the coach's bench, his eyes were looking there, his expression was deep, and it became more and more difficult for people to see through .

Hearing a shout from his teammates, Hyypia shuddered in his heart, thinking how could he be distracted in such an important game, quickly shook his head, and ran to the position designated by his teammates.

Today, he is no longer fighting for victory for Arsenal, he needs to fight for the championship trophy for Liverpool.

After the transfer, all positions have changed. Let's talk about the old feelings after the game is over!
The first half of the game is not over yet, but although the two teams created many heart-wrenching offensive shots, they failed to score.

Whether it is Dudek or Cech, they are firmly guarding the gate and not giving their opponents any chance.

Rosicky got one shot in the game, just outside the penalty area on the left, and he shot hard.

The ball quickly ran towards the gate against the turf, but Dudek still stretched out his foot in time to block the ball.

Otherwise, Arsenal would have established a leading advantage now!
