Chapter 18 It's as annoying as not to quarrel

The press conference of Liverpool and Anfield Stadium was crowded. This was the focus of the Premier League. The upstart Leeds faced the veteran giant Liverpool and became the "Leeds Battle" by the Hong Kong media, and was also called "a showdown between Fowler and Irving" by the English media. There are too many highlights in this game. In the 1998-99 season, the debut was just like the focus of the day. Michael Irving, who had just become famous in the 1998 World Cup in Argentina, wasted most of the season due to a serious injury, and his injury broke out in the Liverpool and Leeds match that year. Since then, Irving's hamstring injury has been tangled around him, and he cannot even participate in the 1999-2000 season, forcing Irving to find famous German sports medicine experts to solve his troubles.

Now, Irving has returned from injury. From a prominent boy wearing a No. 18 Liverpool player, the newcomer Golden Boy has become the Reds' head scorer, the absolute main force, and the Premier League scorer king wearing a No. 10 jersey. This will be his game to prove himself in front of Leeds, and it will be his first showdown with Liverpool God after he squeezed out Fowler.

In fact, there are many similarities between Irving and Fowler. Irving surpassed Ian Rush in his youth and became the most attractive scorer in his childhood. In the hearts of Liverpool fans, Fowler is also a stronger existence than Ian Rush; in the Liverpool youth team that once cultivated Fowler and McManaman, Irving always maintained his high goal rate, which was valued by Hollier and Evans, and got the first team opportunity to play. Until Rooney, he still maintained the goal record of the youngest player in the Premier League, and Fowler is the God of the KOP stands.

They were both Liverpool's darlings and were highly praised by the KOP stands, but their fate was similarly amazing. Fowler lost his main position due to injury, and went from Liverpool to Leeds. Irving also arrived at Real Madrid and was unable to compete for the main position due to injury. They once scored goals on the Anfield court, and they all heard the shouts from fans all over the court. This time, they wanted to prove who is the king of the stadium, the perfect king.

When Hollier and Song Shiwan appeared at the press conference at the same time to hold a press conference for the game, Hollier began to talk about the game under the media's question. In his opinion, they were sure to win this game because Leeds did not have their own backbone, and Ollill was unfortunately intercepted in Italy.

"Mr. Hollier, will Ollie's inability to participate in the game be an important reason for Liverpool to win this game?" the reporter asked.

Hollier said in a suit and in a victorious manner: "Not necessarily, Liverpool has a strong lineup, we are stronger than anyone else. We have Irving, Litmanin, Husky, and too many amazing players. Why don't we win? I hope Ollillie will come back and watch Liverpool's upright victory with his own eyes to prove who is stronger."

Song Shiwan looked at Hollier talking on the side, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew what the gap between Leeds and Liverpool was, but this gap would never be a chasm that could not be filled. The key is how to fill it. As the first time coaching alone, Song Shiwan will definitely be well prepared in all aspects, even in a press conference, he will easily admit defeat.

"Mr. Hollier, how strong is Irving in your eyes?"

Hollier shrugged like a joke, turned his head to look at Song Shiwan and said, "I think this is not as good as Leeds' assistant coach, Mr. Song."

See, this is Song Shiwan's position in the media's mind. He did not become famous because of his previous press conference in Middlesbrough. Instead, his previous slick tongue made the media even more annoying. Therefore, no media even mentioned him in the match against Middlesbrough in Leeds' victory over Middlesbrough! No one asked him questions at this press conference.

Song Shiwan took out the calculator in his pocket and said, "It's very strong. Michael Irving won the Premier League Golden Boot in the first full season of his career, thus starting to shine in the Premier League. After scoring 18 goals in the 97-98 season, he became the focus of 18 goals in the 98-99 season. If it weren't for injuries, he would never play 39 times and score only 20 goals. He would only be more mature. Irving's technical characteristics are very obvious. He rarely has fancy fake moves, confusing upper limb movements and straightforward dribbling often make the opponent's defender unable to react during high-speed movements. It can be said that Irving's dribbling and extraordinary are entirely achieved by reflexivity and speed, although this is not common on the field.

, He often plays a pure shooter role. The name of the shooter is most suitable for Irving. He can score goals at any position on the court, especially at the left and middle of the penalty area. Among all Irving's goals, the number of goals completed by the left and middle of the penalty area accounts for more than 86.5% of his total goals, which shows that his right foot is more than one level higher than his left foot. Irving is also extremely aggressive. He has used his speed to use his speed to steal the ball from the opponent's back pass many times in his opponent's return pass, and scored the goal. Even if Irving is not the most powerful in Europe now, sooner or later, he will become one of the most powerful forwards in Europe, as long as he can get rid of injuries."

Hollier was just about to praise Song Shiwan's ability to summarize, but he was basically talking about Irving in this period. Irving in this period can be said to be omnipotent!

Pa, pa, pa.

Applause was heard at the press conference, and at least the Leeds assistant coach had the courage to praise his opponent's striker before the game.

When the applause fell, Song Shiwan did not give the right to speak to Hollier, but said to himself: "Irving: shot value is 16~18, shooting force is 17~18 (shot data, S-level); dribbling 13~16, control/stop ball 15~17, outspread 14~16 (dial control technology, A+); acceleration explosive power is 16~19, dribbling speed is 17~19, dribbling sensitivity is 16~18, reaction is 15~18, balance 16~19 (speed S+); aggressiveness: 14~16, tactical literacy 20, position sense 19~20, (consciousness S+), that is, Irving's total rating is S~S+ player, very strong, indeed very strong."

Hollier was stunned when he heard this. He had no idea how Song Shiwan's value was analyzed, but he could see a complete Irving through this set of values. This Irving was no longer standing alone, but was completely digitized!

Look at the data given by Leeds' assistant coach. Among them, the highest-rated shots, speed, and consciousness are not exactly what Irving is good at? Who has ever seen Irving score amazing shots with a fancy extraordinary person? No! He is an assassin, who may have disappeared on the court for a long time, but when he appears, he must have been lightning, and he uses speed and sensitive reactions that no one can catch up with, as well as super running and shooting, which is Irving!

Looking at the data he produced, Song Shiwan pulled everyone out and shouted: "It's very strong, so powerful, Mr. Hollier, I'm proud of you having Irving. He scored 20 goals last season!"

"However, Viduka scored 22 goals..."

...

...

Awkward!

Media, Hollier was completely trapped in a deadly deposition in an instant!!!

It was as if Song Shiwan placed Owen on the altar. As a result, when everyone in the world was happy, Song Shiwan suddenly put his people on the altar again, making it impossible for you to refute!

Irving is very strong, do you accept it? Have you accepted Song Shiwan's statement? Otherwise, why are you applauding?

But what is a striker using to be stronger and weak? Of course it is a goal! Irving scored 20 goals last season and Viduka scored 22 goals. What else can you compare with?

Hollier's throat seemed to be stuffed with a walnut. He swallowed it and scraped his intestines. If he didn't swallow it, he would get stuck and he couldn't even vomit!

Hollier turned his head suddenly in anger. Now the only thing he can do is ignore Leeds' assistant coach. He can't help it. He didn't fight him in a verbal battle, so he just put the data there. Can you open your mouth and curse?

"In fact, Liverpool's offense is not entirely dependent on Irving. We also have Litmanin and Husky..."

Song Shiwan quickly said: "Mr. Hollier is right. Litmanin scored 1 goal for Liverpool five times last season. Finnish Ice Strikes seem to be not very adaptable to the Premier League... Harry Cowell unfortunately scored 2 goals; Husky scored 14 goals for Liverpool 36 games, and our young player Robbie Keane scored 9 goals in 18 games, which seems to be more efficient..."

"Are you sick?"

Hollier couldn't stand it and stood up in his position. He couldn't stand it anymore!

When did Hollier suffer such insults from coaching Liverpool with Evans until he won the treble champion who did not include the Premier League and won the European Championship? What's more, he was in bed for 9 months last year because of a heart attack, and lost the Premier League champion who had almost won the Premier League championship. Finally, he regrouped and wanted to sprint again to win the first Premier League trophy for Liverpool, but encountered such an assistant coach who seemed to analyze the data but actually wanted to suppress Liverpool. What else could he say? He retorted with an assistant coach? That was too disastrous!

Song Shiwan looked at Hollier, slowly stood up, put the calculator in his pocket, as cold as ice, but did not open his mouth to curse, but said a cold word: "This seems to be at the press conference, and my words seemed to be Mr Hollier letting the conversation go by himself. Am I not telling the truth? Why are I cursed so much? Well, even if I am sick..." Song Shiwan turned his head to look at all media people and said: "Gentlemen, please remember this sentence. Maybe tomorrow this sentence will become the front-page headline after Liverpool loses to Leeds. You will always remember a man who only speaks with data!"
