amazing coach

Update time:2012-12-28

Gérard Houllier is a French coach. He was a defensive midfielder during his player days. Since he played for some low-level league clubs in the country that the media did not pay much attention to, from a resume point of view, his entire playing career

It's almost blank.

Houllier's coaching career began as the manager of a lower league club, first coaching Lens Football Club, and then coaching Paris Saint-Germain Football Club in Ligue 1 for three years. From 1988 to 1995, he has been coaching

Coaching the French national team, during this period, he has trained such strong players as Thierry Henry and Pires.

In 1998, Houllier went to England to join the old Premier League team Liverpool. At that time, Liverpool also had another head coach Evans, Gérard Houllier and Evans coached the club together, which is the so-called dual-leadership system. It’s just that

Since there were two leaders, there was often no coordination in management. Due to constant disputes, Evans left in November 1998, leaving Gérard Houllier to take charge of the club alone.

At that time, Liverpool's performance had been poor. In the 1998-99 season, they finished seventh in the Premier League and were unable to participate in European competitions. Gérard Houllier decided to reorganize the team, selling off most of the old main players and replacing them with another batch of new players.

Bloods, such as Steven Gerrard, Dietmar Hamann and Hyypia. As a result, the results of the 1999-00 season have rebounded significantly. In 2001, they won the English FA Cup and the English League Cup.

Championship, and also reached the final of the UEFA Cup. Outsiders believe that Liverpool has begun to recover and has the ability to challenge Manchester United's monopoly in the Premier League.

Houllier comes from a humble background and has no reputation. He is also very low-key when coaching a giant like Liverpool. In the UEFA Cup semi-finals against Barcelona, ​​a team with similar strength and reputation as Liverpool, Liverpool adopted intensive defensive tactics in both rounds.

Jiang Mu showed off the friendly match between the main players and the youth team before the game. Under the watchful eyes of more than 10,000 fans and more than 200 reporters, the main players lost the game 2:3, which made Houllier suspect that this was cunning.

What kind of conspiracy are the Chinese playing? Because since Jiang Mu got involved in European football, he has been known for his scheming and on-the-spot changes. Houllier never believed that Jiang Mu was teaching his main players a lesson. He concluded that Jiang Mu was trying to teach his main players a lesson.

If you fool him, the main players who appear in the game are probably not the main players.

So when Jiang Mu used the friendly match with the youth team to teach his players a lesson, Houllier also continued to release smoke bombs, proving from all aspects that Liverpool is not the favorite in the UEFA Cup final, but Inter Milan is the favorite to win the UEFA Cup.

Popular.

Liverpool, who have just been crowned the FA Cup, also won the English League Cup in March. Gambling companies have offered the same odds for their victory over Inter Milan and Inter Milan's victory over Liverpool in Wednesday's game, and if they win

If they win, they will become the first English team to win three cup titles in one season.

In response to outside media predictions that Liverpool and Inter Milan have a 50-50 chance of winning the championship, Houllier quickly denied it today, saying: "Liverpool has no more than half chance of winning the UEFA Cup and becoming the "cup king" this season. He has entered Europe three times.

The Inter Milan team that won the final of the game and won it three times is the real cup champion. They will definitely not go to Dortmund just for excitement. In history, we have played against Inter Milan twice, both in the semi-finals of the 1965 Champions League.

We defeated Inter Milan 3-1 at home in the first leg. However, after coming to the away game, Inter Milan defeated us 3-0. In this way, Inter Milan reached the final with a total score of 4-3 in the two legs and won the championship."

"Both teams entering the final are well-deserved. Both teams have equal opportunities, but our difficulties may be more. Although Inter Milan only eliminated dark horses Alaves and Kaiserslautern to enter the final, but in

They have never failed since Jiang Mu took charge, and they are more popular than us."

"I think Serie A is very strong because the level of coaches and players there is very high. This is why they have been able to dominate European competitions for so many years. In the past, they entered the Champions League quarter-finals and the UEFA Cup semi-finals.

Among the teams, at least six or seven are from Italy, and they just took a nap this season."

"After Wednesday's game starts, both sides will play a quality game. No team will be willing to be the runner-up. Everyone will work hard. Even a second-tier team will definitely not be able to play well."

Houllier admitted, of course, that he was a bit surprised that Liverpool could reach a third major final of this exciting season, and had they beaten Charlton in the final round of the league, they would have been a bit surprised.

They will also ensure qualification for next season's Champions League.

The French coach is very proud of Liverpool's record: "The purpose of many coaches is to lead their teams to progress and achieve success. When you are the head coach of a team that performs so well, you do have a sense of

Pride. To reach the UEFA Cup final is of course a very important thing, but to lead the team to win three cup titles in one season would be a record because no one has been able to do it before."

Looking back at the past, Houllier said: "At the beginning of the UEFA Cup, our opponent was Olympiacos, a team that had entered the Champions League. Defeating them gave us confidence. The next opponent was Roma. I

I still think they are better than us, but our organization is very successful, and Owen's two goals in the away game in Italy changed everything."

“After the game ended in a draw, I thought we had our chance because Roma were one of the strongest teams in this tournament. Then Porto and finally Barcelona. They were going to be better than us.

But we knew we could stop them, I knew we could score, and we did. Now I think all we have to do is maintain that determination and courage to win."

At the same time, Houllier also expressed dissatisfaction with the team's frequent schedule, "It is really annoying to have the UEFA Cup final just three days after the FA Cup final. However, in England you will learn something very quickly.

The first thing is to complain less and obey the schedule. I am learning this very quickly. All the games are in front of us now, and the game against Charlton is no less than a final, now this season

The final sprint moment.”

Houllier desperately praised Inter Milan before the game and belittled himself. How could Jiang Mu, who came from China, not know that this was his arrogant strategy, so he used it to his advantage. While bragging about Liverpool, he also criticized the players of Inter Milan.

, so that they must not underestimate their opponents, and at the same time stimulate Houllier and let him play against Inter Milan.

Jiang Mu said: "Liverpool is a great team. They doubled Manchester United this season and reversed Arsenal in the FA Cup. They are fully capable of winning the championship in any way, but if Liverpool wins on May 16

If Inter Milan still treats the game with the same negative attitude as it did against Barcelona in the final, Inter Milan will have no choice but to respond in kind. If Liverpool have nine players staying behind the ball to defend, they will find that

Inter Milan will have ten players defending. This will of course make this final in Dortmund the most boring in the history of the UEFA Cup final. Everything depends on the style of play adopted by Liverpool. As for the fans' perception,

This is not the responsibility of one Inter Milan team."

Generally before a major competition, in order to release their own pressure and create pressure on their opponents, both sides will almost have an oral battle. However, the UEFA Cup final between Liverpool and Inter Milan was exactly the opposite. Not only did the coaches of Inter Milan and Liverpool not attack each other, they also criticized each other.

The praise is really an eye-opener for fans and media.

In the early morning of Wednesday, the UEFA Cup final will start in Dortmund, Germany. The English "Red Army" Liverpool team will collide with the Serie A giant team known as the "Snake Elf" to create the first shining spark of "Red May". The media also

They were not idle. They analyzed and commented on both sides of the final before the game. The British "Sun" analyzed the strength comparison between the two sides from three aspects: survival ability, morale and attack power, and believed that in terms of survival ability, morale and attack power, they believed that the key to victory was

, Liverpool and Inter Milan both have 10 points.

Liverpool has already won the English League Cup and FA Cup, and they have regarded Dortmund as the place where the "Triple Crown" will be crowned. After Leeds United stopped in the Champions League semi-finals, Liverpool became the only team to reach European competitions this season.

The success or failure of the British team in the final is even meaningful for the overall recovery of English football. Inter Milan in Serie A has won multiple UEFA Cup championships, and they seem to be more eager for that huge sense of achievement. And winning the championship is

It means that they have re-emerged in European football, and the weight of the UEFA Cup is definitely not light for them.

In terms of morale, Liverpool and Inter Milan both scored 10 points.

The Liverpool team, which had just won the FA Cup, was on its way to the top under the guidance of head coach Houllier. The "big reversal" of scoring two goals in the last 5 minutes of the FA Cup made the team endure the baptism of adversity.

Among them, Irving has scored consecutive goals in the last 4 games, which has strengthened the killer's sense of smell.

Inter Milan defeated Kaiserslautern 9:2 in two rounds in the semi-finals, and defeated AC Milan 7:1 in the league, which made people feel the thrill of destruction. Although they lost to themselves 2:3 in the friendly match

The youth team's morale will be affected to some extent, but everyone knows that the attraction of that game is incomparable to the UEFA Cup final, and we do not even rule out the possibility that the game was a show. Therefore, the morale of both sides is basically the same.

In terms of attacking power: Liverpool has 9 points, while Inter Milan has 10 points

Because it is a final that determines the outcome in a neutral country, neither team has to nor can they hold anything back. It is not difficult to foresee that offense will be the main theme of this game. The strength of the offensive power will be the key to determining the outcome.

.

The current Liverpool team has the strongest lineup in the past 10 years. Its overall strength is by no means inferior to Manchester United. Their young blood has fueled their strong destructive power and aggressiveness. Owen and Heskey have scored 15 goals for Liverpool in the league.

With 14 goals and 14 goals, the 20-year-old attacking midfielder Gerrard overtook Beckham and ranked first among the top ten players in British football. Everything indicates the prototype of the next "Premier League King".

Inter Milan is more star-studded than Liverpool. Their striker Vieri has scored 31 goals, surpassing Shevchenko Crespo to rank first in Serie A. What does this mean in Italy, which is known for its defensive football?

Although Yu. Alien has just returned, he has been a substitute, scored every game, and even scored a hat trick in the Milan derby. He recovered quickly. The combination of Vieri and Ronaldo is obviously more powerful than Owen and Heskey.

.

From the comparison of these three aspects, Inter Milan has a slight advantage. As for who can step on the opponent's corpse and get on the podium, it depends on God's help.
