Chapter 252 Defensive Counterattack
George and Owen looked at each other. Obviously, both of them knew that Liverpool's opportunity had come, and Juventus's defense was the most open at this time, and it was the most opportunity to take advantage of.Thinking of this, the two began to retreat in a tacit understanding, ready to take the ball at any time to let Juventus experience Liverpool-style fast break.

Just when George and Irving started to get into trouble, Juventus's offense also started. Zambrotta's pass was directly hoisted to Trezeguet's head in the penalty area. Zambrotta believed in the Frenchman's header ability very much.

Naturally, Trezeguet would not waste Zambrotta's wonderful pass. Unfortunately, Hyypia next to him didn't appreciate it. He didn't let Trezeguet have the opportunity to display his header skills.

Feeling someone rushing towards him behind him, Harman immediately realized that the person coming must be from Juventus.Thinking of this, Haman didn't hesitate at all. After receiving the pass from Hyypia, he immediately hit the ball with the heel of his foot, which he was not good at, and the ball immediately rolled to Haman's back.

At this time, Nedved suddenly appeared in front of Haman, and one foot began to stick out, appearing between Haman's legs. If Haman hadn't knocked the ball behind him with the heel of his foot just now, then Nedved would have broken the ball under Haman's feet at this time.

But now that Nedved was almost gone, Harman quickly turned around and chased after the ball.

"Oh, Dietmar passed the ball to Steven behind him with the heel he was not good at, and avoided Nedved's steal. God, how did he know that Steven was behind him. It is so beautiful. It is rare to see Dietmar play such a wonderful pass on the court."

Seeing Harman playing Juventus' Nedved, the commentator couldn't help but said loudly.At the same time, tens of thousands of Liverpool fans at the scene also gave Harman warm applause for this wonderful pass.

"Damn it, how did I know that boy Steven would be behind me, but that's fine, even though it wasn't my intention, but after all, it can fulfill my overall view." Seeing that Gerald was actually standing behind him and getting a pass from his heel, Haman couldn't help thinking.

You must know that when Harman knocked the ball with the heel of his foot, he never thought that Gerrard would be behind him. Originally, Harman planned to knock the ball with the heel of his foot, dodge the opponent's steal, and then catch up with the ball before choosing to pass or dribble.

But God seems to have made a joke with Haman. Haman passed the ball from the back of his foot, which happened to be passed to the foot of Gerrard behind him.Even Gerald couldn't help being taken aback for a moment. He never imagined that the tall and burly Harman would have such delicate footwork skills, so he couldn't help being taken aback.But Gerrard reacted instantly, and immediately rushed towards Juventus' half with the ball.

Gerrard was stunned, and Haman was also stunned, but when he saw that his heel pass was passed straight to Gerrard, Harman immediately gave up his original plan of catching up with the ball, and hurriedly ran to the side, ready to meet Gerrard at any time.The whole situation gives people the feeling that Harman has an excellent overall view, and the pass from the heel just now was also passed to Gerrard with a purpose.

"En~ How did this Dietmar have such an excellent overall view? Why didn't I discover it before? It seems that I don't know the players' situation very well. It seems that I need to spend more time chatting with the players in the future, and have a heart-to-heart talk."

Old Bei also looked at Haman on the field with a puzzled expression. Just now, Old Bei saw very clearly. Haman obviously did not look at the situation behind him, but Haman passed the ball to Gerrard behind him with the heels of his feet. The strength and position were so correct.If it was said that Harman was right, I am afraid that Lao Bei himself would not believe it.

Thinking of this, Old Bayton immediately decided to spend more time chatting with the players in the future, and try to understand the characters and technical characteristics of the players earlier, so that he can better arrange his troops.

It can be said that Harman successfully deceived everyone with his quick reflexes and a series of reactions.

"Good opportunity, it's time to counterattack." George and Irving, who were near the midfield, saw that Liverpool had defended Juventus' attack and had already seized possession of the ball. Gerrard took the ball and began to rush towards Juventus' half.

Seeing this situation, both George and Owen knew that the opportunity to counterattack had come. Thinking of this, the two immediately rushed towards Juventus' penalty area.

"Damn, pay attention to defense, defend!" The first person to find out that something was wrong was Lippi, the head coach of Juventus. When Lippi saw George and Irving starting to run wildly, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart and shouted at the Juventus players on the court.Obviously, Lippi, who has studied Liverpool's game situation, is very aware of the counterattack capabilities of George and Owen.

After being reminded by the head coach Lippi, the Juventus players reacted and began to retreat desperately towards the backcourt, while Tudor and Montero quickly retreated towards their penalty area, hoping to stop George and Irving. Of course, the two hoped that their teammates could retreat earlier and help out.The two also knew that they had no way or the ability to prevent the quick counterattacks of George and Owen.

However, Liverpool did not give Juventus too many opportunities to react. Gerrard, who was carrying the ball, saw that George and Irving's speed had fully increased to the fastest, and immediately passed the ball with a big kick, passing the ball to Juventus 30 meters outside the penalty area.

The landing point of the ball is closer to Irving and Montero. Montero is about ten meters away from the ball, and Irving is also only a dozen meters away.

Following Gerrard's pass, the goals of both sides are now very clear. Montero didn't care about waiting for his teammates to come back to help, and began to turn around and run towards the ball, hoping to grab the ball first and control the ball.

Like Montero, Irving lowered his head slightly at this time, began to be expressionless, and rushed towards the ball without saying a word. Obviously, Irving also hoped to grab the ball before Montero, and then continued to rush towards the penalty area with the ball to complete a single shot.

Just like that, a scene of a [-]-meter sprint suddenly appeared on the field. Both Irving and Montero were using their fastest speed to rush towards the ball. At this time, the ball stopped rolling and stayed in place quietly, wanting to see who was the first to grab them.

Buffon also looked anxious at this time. Do you want to attack? At this time, he is more than 20 meters away from him. If he really attacks, according to the speed of Montero and Owen, the two will definitely get the ball ahead of him.It would be fine if Montero grabs the ball. If Irving is allowed to grab the ball and attack by himself, Irving may just make a lob and send the ball into the goal behind him.

If he doesn't shoot, seeing that Irving is getting closer and closer to Montero, Buffon is worried that Montero will be overtaken by Irving and grab the ball first.Although Buffon is very confident in his own strength, Buffon also knows that if Irving is allowed to go it alone, it may be difficult for him to block Owen's shot.

It was this contradiction that made Buffon hesitate, but it was this hesitation that made Montero and Irving get closer to the ball. At this time, even if Buffon chose to attack, it would have no effect at all, so Buffon could only make up his mind and stand honestly in front of the goal to prevent Irving from really grabbing the ball first.At the same time, while watching the speed competition between Montero and Irving nervously, Buffon secretly prayed that Montero could grab the ball.

Buffon's prayer still had no effect. God is very fair and will not change the facts because of Buffon's prayer.Relying on his impressive speed, Irving rushed past Montero in a daze. Even Montero reached out to grab Irving's jersey, and Montero didn't give Montero the chance of a tactical foul, and quickly chased the ball directly.

You know, Owen's greatest ability is excellent awareness and running position, as well as terrifying speed and footwork skills. Since the chasing boy can chase the wind, his speed will naturally not be slow.Owen's speed is not comparable to that of Montero. Even in world football, with Owen's speed of 10 seconds per 9 meters, he is definitely in the forefront of the world.

Although Montero is short in stature, fast, and quick to react in the position of central defender, he is still far inferior to a speed forward like Irving.It seems that in world football, apart from Carlos of Real Madrid, there are few defenders whose speed can be compared with that of forwards.

Therefore, although Montero is desperate, he is still not as good as Irving. He can only watch Irving surpass him and chase towards the ball. He can only helplessly watch the distance between himself and Irving getting farther and farther.

Finally, Owen's foot touched the ball, and with a flick of his right foot, the ball immediately rolled towards the penalty area, and Owen also continued to rush towards the penalty area without slowing down.At this time, Montero was two meters away from Irving. With a distance of two meters, it was obviously impossible for Montero to catch up with Irving, even if it was Irving who was dribbling.

"O~Michael, without any conspiracy or tactics, he relied on his speed to overtake Montero to catch up with the ball. At this moment, Michael has already rushed towards the penalty area. How will Michael handle the ball this time? Whether he chooses to shoot alone or pass it to George on the side."

Seeing that Irving surpassed Montero with his own speed to catch up with the ball, the entire Anfield stadium suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers. Although the situation on the field was not exciting, but with his own speed, Owen abruptly surpassed the opponent to catch up with the ball. This scene also made Liverpool feel very happy.

Before Owen surpassed Montero, George on the side had already surpassed Tudor. The height of 1 meters gave Tudor a strong body and a header advantage, but God is fair. The 92 meter Tudor is obviously not very fast in terms of speed, let alone compare with George's speed, so George suddenly surpassed Tudor.

In this situation, I am afraid that even Juventus fans will not think that Buffon can block Liverpool's attack, so at this moment, all Liverpool fans stood up involuntarily, and began to wait for the cheers.

At this time, the head coach of Juventus has closed his eyes, because Lippi already knows very well that Liverpool will score a goal soon. In the 2:1 situation, even if Buffon is a god, he may not be able to stop George and Owen's attack.

Hmm~ Hearing what the narrator said, Owen couldn't help but look to his left, and found that George was on the same level as him at this time, ready to respond to him at any time.Thinking of this, Owen couldn't help laughing, and this time he was more sure of scoring.

Buffon has almost given up at this time, let alone Buffon, I am afraid that no goalkeeper in the world can successfully defend the opponent's attack under the attack of the opponent's two forwards.But at this time, Buffon had no choice. Although he knew that he couldn't stop the opponent's shot, he still concentrated and stared at the ball under Owen's feet, preparing to make a dying struggle.

Buffon wanted to make a dying struggle, but Irving didn't give Buffon any chance. When he attracted the ball to the left side of the ball, Irving was greedy for credit and distributed the ball under his feet to George on the side.So after receiving Irving's pass, George just pushed lightly, and the ball immediately went into the net.

"Coooooooooooooooooooal!!! Aaron George, a great goal. Of course, the biggest contributor to this goal is naturally Michael who passed the ball to George. It is so beautiful. Facing the powerful Bianconeri, Liverpool scored the goal with their first quick counterattack, and the game has just begun. With George's goal, Liverpool leads Juventus 1-0 at home. It has been firmly controlled by Liverpool. What is a defensive counterattack, this is called a defensive counterattack, an incomparable defensive counterattack that can tear apart any opponent's defense, this is a defensive counterattack that only the great Liverpool has."

Although Liverpool fans knew that Juventus was doomed this time, and Liverpool scored a goal, the moment George sent the ball into the goal, the entire Anfield stadium burst into cheers, and more than 4 Liverpool fans were shouting crazily.

"Boy, beautiful pass!" After scoring the goal, George did not rush to the sidelines to celebrate wildly as usual, but rushed to Irving who passed the ball to him with a smile on his face, and hugged Owen tightly and said.

George knew very well that although he scored the goal, the biggest contributor was Michael Owen who grabbed the ball and passed it to him.George also understood that Irving passed the ball to himself just for insurance. Even if Irving didn't pass the ball, in the case of a single-handed ball, Irving still has nine levels of confidence to send the ball into the goal.

It can be said that Irving gave George a big gift, so after scoring a goal, George naturally rushed to Irving's side, hugged his good buddy Irving tightly, and said thank you.

"Cut~ Don't talk nonsense with me, and don't look at who I am. I am Michael Owen, the golden boy of Liverpool. Since I appeared in Liverpool's first team, I have scored countless goals. They are all wonderful goals. Like this goal without a trace of challenge, I, Michael, don't bother to do it, so I have no choice but to pass the ball to you. Because I, Owen, would never play this kind of one-handed ball. It is not difficult. A master is always lonely, hey~"

Hearing George's thanks, Owen said arrogantly with a stinky face. His expression seemed to be exactly what Owen said. This kind of shooting is too easy and not difficult. He doesn't bother to shoot.

Hearing Owen's words, George didn't say anything, but just hugged Owen tightly.George understands that it's not that Irving really doesn't like to play single-handed goals. You must know that Owen is a speed forward. With his impressive speed, Owen often scores single-handed goals against offside.

It’s just that this game is too important. Although Irving has nine levels of confidence to shoot the goal, at least one level may miss or be saved by Buffon. You must know that this is the knockout stage, and Liverpool is still behind Juventus. Against a giant like Juventus, there may be such a chance in the entire game.If Irving really chooses to shoot by himself, if he is blocked by Buffon, or he misses it because of nervousness, or Liverpool will be eliminated by Juventus because of this.

Therefore, just now Irving chose the safest and most secure method, which is to pass the ball, pass the ball to George on the side, and let George score an empty goal.
