Chapter 430 Simple Arithmetic Problem
When Houllier got the assistant's news, his face flushed as if he had been slapped with chicken blood, as if he had been ravaged by ten black African girls all night.
"Notts County really sent a first-team lineup and didn't let the damn reserve team play?" Houllier still felt unbelievable.
The assistant looked at Houllier with an innocent expression, thinking that I was full to lie to you?
The Liverpool coach was as excited as if he was about to go to heaven. Countless thoughts crossed his mind. If Notts County really uses the first-team lineup, there is still a great possibility to win Newcastle. Even if Liverpool lose to Arsenal in the away game, they still have to Leading Newcastle by three points, the initiative in the final round is completely in their own hands.
But Houllier turned his head and thought of a problem. Even if Notts County has a first-team lineup, it does not mean that Notts County must fight Newcastle head-on. Public opinion seems to have determined that Notts County will In this game, Newcastle was released, and there was such an uproar. Even if Notts County did not intend to fight Newcastle head-on, they had to be cautious about the impact, so they sent a first-team lineup, so that even if they lost, no one would say Notts County have gone too far, at least they've done their job on the surface.
If it is really as he expected, then Notts County's first-team lineup will be meaningless to Liverpool.
Thinking of this, Houlier couldn't help but become dejected.
Arsenal is very strong, at least the current arsenal is not something that Liverpool can compete with. Not long after the game started, Liverpool, who are playing away from home, have been suppressed enough by Arsenal.
Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor for now!
Houllier walked to the sidelines and yelled loudly at the players on the field, but the content of the yelling was not related to skills and tactics, but that Notts County planned to fight Newcastle at St. James' Park. They didn't mean to let go .
It is also rare to use this method to motivate players, especially in the giants Liverpool, it is simply a blasphemy against the identity of the giants.
But there is no way, who let Liverpool now have the title of giants left, the real strength can not even break through in the Premier League, and get a place in the Champions League!
With no hope of competing for a place in the Champions League, the only place in the UEFA Cup in the league rankings has become their life-saving straw, so they can't help but work hard.
Hearing Houllier's words, Liverpool, which had no fighting spirit, suddenly changed. It seemed that every player had ignited a raging fighting spirit and launched a fierce charge towards Arsenal.
Yes, even Notts County, which has no pressure to win, didn't give up the game. What reason do I have to give up, even if the opponent is Arsenal, so what?
Seeing the sudden changes in the performance of the players, Houllier did everything he could, and simply returned to the coach's bench to watch the game quietly. Regardless of whether Liverpool can get a place in the UEFA Cup this season, his coaching It was a failure. I am afraid that Liverpool's top management will not allow themselves to continue to sit in the position of Liverpool coach.
Maybe I really should leave something for Liverpool before I leave!
Just when Houllier's thoughts drifted away, his assistant came to him again and whispered in his ear: "Sir, Notts County leads Newcastle in the away game!"
Houllier did not respond for a full three seconds, and three seconds later, he jumped up suddenly and rushed to the sidelines. At that moment, the whole of Highbury was confused by this old man who suddenly convulsed up.
Players from both sides are still fighting fiercely, but they feel that the atmosphere of the stadium is not too much. Looking around, they are surprised to find that it was Houllier who made it.
What kind of trouble is this?
Arsenal fans booed loudly, this is Highbury, please go to Anfield if you want to play monkeys!
Arsenal's players on the field were dumbfounded, not knowing what happened!
While the Liverpool players didn't know what happened, they felt extremely ashamed. Is his coach showing performance art?
However, this farce has not lasted for a few minutes. The Liverpool fans who came to the away game with the team began to cheer involuntarily, and even suppressed the boos of many more Liverpool fans than them. Obviously, they all already knew another piece what happened on the field.
"Notts County lead!"
The Liverpool fans chanted, and they were telling the Liverpool players on the pitch in this way that it was not time to despair.
Sure enough, Liverpool's morale was once again boosted. They have long forgotten about the coach's embarrassment. The completely erupted Liverpool actually suppressed Arsenal in an away game. That kind of ferocious momentum made the Gunners feel helpless Do not avoid the edge for the time being.
Houllier looked at the exciting scene, but felt regretful in his heart. If Liverpool could maintain this fighting will from the beginning of the season, then how could it be possible to fight for a place in the UEFA Cup at the final stage? The Champions League spot is locked, okay?
Of course, the hard power of a team is the foundation. No team can maintain a high fighting spirit for a whole season, which does not conform to objective laws.
In stark contrast to Liverpool's aftermath is Newcastle at St. James' Park. This veteran Magpies were completely stunned by Notts County. Perhaps with their real strength, they would not be so embarrassed, and they could resist a little bit, but It was precisely because of the guidance of public opinion before the game that they thought that Notts County was here to give them points, but now the point boy has turned into a thug who broke into the house. This kind of strong contrast made it difficult for them to accept for a while. .
It is really appropriate to describe it as a defeated army. After Notts County scored a goal, Newcastle's will to resist was completely wiped out.
At the end of the first half, Notts County had already led by three goals. This was still in the case of Notts County playing in a closed position. No one wanted to waste too much energy on a team composed of stragglers. They didn't have many chances to play against Barcelona, but they can still look forward to the final UEFA Cup final.
At this time, Newcastle's coach had completely collapsed, and this unreasonable Notts County, who played cards unreasonably and unreasonably, completely lifted his last fig leaf.
This is a very simple arithmetic problem. Looking at the distraught players, he knows that Newcastle has no chance in this game, and on another field, there is no news of scoring, which means that Arsenal have not yet been able to score. Leading Liverpool, if the two games end with the current results, then Liverpool will lead Newcastle by four points and lock the UEFA Cup place one round ahead of schedule.
