Chapter 430 Simple Arithmetic Problems

When Houllier got the news from his assistant, he seemed to have been beaten with blood, and his face flushed, as if he had been ravaged by ten black African girls all night.

"Notts County really sent a first-team squad and didn't let the damn reserves play?" Houllier still couldn't believe it.

The assistant looked at Houllier with an innocent expression, thinking that I was full to lie to you?

The Liverpool manager was so excited as if he was about to go to heaven. He skipped countless thoughts in his mind. If Notts County really used the first team lineup, then there is still a high possibility of winning Newcastle. Even if Liverpool lost to Arsenal on the road, they still have to Three points ahead of Newcastle, the final round of the initiative is completely in his own hands.

However, Houllier turned his head and thought of a question. Even if Notts County has a first-team lineup, it does not mean that Notts County must fight Newcastle recklessly. The public opinion seems to have determined that Notts County will meet. In this game, Newcastle was released, and there was such a commotion. Even if Notts County did not intend to fight Newcastle recklessly, they had to be careful about the impact, so they sent the first team lineup, so that even if they lost, no one would say anything. Notts County went too far, at least they did their job on the surface.

If it is as he expected, then Notts County will send a first-team squad, and it will make no sense for Liverpool.

Thinking of this, Houllier couldn't help but feel depressed.

Arsenal is very strong, at least the arsenal in front of them is not something that Liverpool can compete with. Not long after the game started, the away game Liverpool had already been suppressed enough by Arsenal.

For the time being, let the dead horse be used as a living horse doctor!

Houllier walked to the sidelines and shouted loudly to the players on the field, but the content of the shouts was not related to technical and tactical matters, but Notts County was going to fight with Newcastle at St James' Park. They did not mean to release water. .

It is also rare to use such a method to motivate players, especially in the giants Liverpool, it is simply a blasphemy for the identity of the giants.

But there is no way, who left Liverpool with the title of a giant now, and its real strength cannot 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 League Rankings in the UEFA Cup has become their life-saving straw, and they can't help but work hard.

Hearing Houllier's words, Liverpool, who had not had much fighting spirit, suddenly changed. It seemed that every player had a raging fighting spirit and launched a fierce charge towards Arsenal.

yes,

Even Notts County, which has no pressure to win or lose, has not given up the game. What reason does he have to give up? Even if the opponent is Arsenal, so what?

Seeing the dramatic changes in the performance of the players, Houllier did everything he could. He simply went back to the bench and watched the game quietly. Regardless of whether Liverpool can get a League Cup spot this season, his coaching will be the same. It was a failure. I am afraid that the senior management of Liverpool will not let themselves continue to sit in the position of Liverpool coach.

Maybe he really should leave something for Liverpool before he leaves!

Just as Houllier's thoughts drifted away, his assistant came to his side again and whispered in his ear: "Sir, Notts County is ahead of Newcastle in the away game!"

Houllier didn't respond for three seconds, and three seconds later, he jumped up and rushed to the trackside track. At that moment, the entire Highbury was confused by the sudden convulsion of the old coach. .

The players on both sides were still fighting fiercely, but I felt that the atmosphere of the stadium was a little bit limited. Looking around, I was surprised to find that it was Houllier who made it.

What kind of trouble is this?

Arsenal fans booed a lot, this is Highbury, if you want to play monkeys, please go to Anfield!

Arsenal's players were stunned and didn't know what was going on!

While the Liverpool players didn't know what was going on, they felt extremely humiliated. Is their coach showing performance art?

However, this farce did not last for a few minutes. The Liverpool fans who came with the team to the away game began to cheer involuntarily, and even suppressed the boos of Liverpool fans who were much more than them. Obviously, they all already knew another piece. what happened on the field.

"Notts County is ahead!"

Liverpool fans chanted, 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. Any coach who was not ashamed was left behind by them. The completely outburst of Liverpool actually suppressed Arsenal in the away game. That kind of mad momentum made the Gunners unable to do so. Don't shy away from the edge.

Houllier looked at the exciting scene, but regretted it in his heart. If Liverpool could maintain this fighting spirit from the beginning of the season, how could it be possible that they still need to work hard for a place in the UEFA Cup in the final stage? Locked in the Champions League places, 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 magpie was completely stunned by Notts County. Perhaps with their real strength, they won't be so embarrassed. How can they resist a little bit, but It was because of the pre-match public opinion that they thought Notts County was here to give them points, but now the boy who sent the points has become a thug who entered the house. This strong contrast made it difficult for them to accept it for a while. .

It is really appropriate to describe it as a rout. After Notts County scored, Newcastle's will to resist was completely lost.

At the end of the first half, Notts County had a three-goal lead. This was still in the situation where Notts County was playing. No one wanted to waste too much energy on a team of wandering skirmishers. They don't have many chances to play in the field and Barcelona, ​​but they can still look forward to the final UEFA Cup final.

At this time, the Newcastle coach had completely collapsed, and this Notts County team, who played their cards unreasonably, completely lifted his last fig leaf.

This is a very simple arithmetic problem. Looking at the lost player, he knows that Newcastle has no chance in this game, and on another field, there is no news of a goal, which means that Arsenal have not yet been able to Ahead of Liverpool, if the two games end with the current result, Liverpool will be four points ahead of Newcastle to seal the UEFA Cup place one round early.
