football killer

Chapter 372

James' prediction was not wrong, or Gerrard was very upset because he was scolded badly by Lao Bei during the intermission.At the beginning of the second half of the game, Gerrard began to actively participate in the offense, and every movement was very good, so that other Liverpool players had to hand the ball to Gerrard.

In this way, James is really suffering. Gerrard gets the ball. Naturally, you can't expect Gerrard to be a technical speed striker like Ronaldo.Gerrard's attack is very simple, stop the ball, glance at the goal, estimate the distance, then lift his foot and increase his strength to shoot.

More than ten minutes into the second half, Gerrard also made six strong long-range shots. Although James always firmly protected the goal and prevented Gerrard's long-range shots from turning into goals, Gerrard's powerful long-range shots were actually worthless. At this time, James even felt that his hands gradually lost their numbness.

Damn it, it's not a final. Do you need to work so hard? If this continues, my hands will almost be useless.Looking at Gerald with a calm face, James couldn't help cursing secretly.

"I said, what are you doing? I didn't see that from the beginning of the second half of the game until now, most of Liverpool's offenses were done by Gerrard. Why don't you rush up to defend and let that kid shoot." James knew that he couldn't go on like this. He was only here to play, and he wouldn't let his hands be amputated. Thinking of this, James yelled dissatisfied at his defenders.

"Steven, I just noticed that although you didn't score a goal with these few shots, James' hands can't support it anymore. If you work harder, even if you can't score a goal, at least you have to destroy that damn James' hands."

Gerrard was retreating towards the midfield when he was called to the sidelines by Old Bei.Old Bei exuded some bloodthirsty eyes, looking at Manchester City goalkeeper James and said to Gerrard.

"En!" Gerald gave an acknowledgment that although he had a good relationship with James in the country, he was not in the national team at this time, but in his respective team. Naturally, he had to work hard for the team's victory. Although doing so would make James feel uncomfortable, Gerald didn't think too much at this time.

"Damn it, it won't work if this continues. James seems to be unable to hold on any longer. How long can he hold on, 10 minutes, or 10 minutes?" Hughes is not a fool, so he can see that James' situation is not very good at this time, and he frowned and thought to himself.

Looking at the substitute goalkeeper on the bench, seeing the substitute goalkeeper looking at James with sympathetic eyes, and looking at the expressionless Gerrard with terrified eyes, Hughes shook his head helplessly and gave up the idea of ​​changing the goalkeeper. He could only pray in his heart that James would persevere, preferably until the end of the game.

The substitute goalkeeper looked at Gerrard with only fear in his eyes. If the goalkeeper really changed, Hughes was not sure whether his substitute goalkeeper would have the courage to block when Gerrard made a strong long-range shot.

"Nicolas, our defense is under a lot of pressure now. This situation is not good. It seems that it is time for us to attack hard and reduce the pressure on the defense." Fowler frowned and said to Anelka on the side.

"En!" Regarding Fowler's proposal, Anelka nodded lightly. Although the relationship with his golfers is not very good, at least Anelka can listen to Fowler's words, because Fowler is not a particularly unique player and can pass the ball to himself.

What's more, Anelka himself doesn't want to lose this game. After all, as long as he is a professional player, no one wants to lose any game, no matter what the reason is.

"Liverpool's offense has been very fierce during this period. Manchester City must attack to relieve the pressure on the defense line. Otherwise, according to Liverpool's offensive momentum, it is only a matter of time before scoring goals."

In the 18th minute of the first half, Fowler received the ball which was not easy to pass from the midfielder. He carried the ball carefully, while guarding against Carragher who blocked him for a steal, while quietly waiting for Anelka's movement.

Anelka also began to run wildly inside and outside Liverpool's penalty area the moment Fowler took the ball, hoping to interfere with Liverpool's entire defense line by virtue of his continuous movement, and then get a chance to score another goal.

It's a pity that Liverpool can't make the same mistake twice. This time, Riise is desperately following Anelka's chance. In short, Anelka is there, and Riise is also there.At the same time, Yepes and Hyypia temporarily formed Liverpool's double backs, standing in front of Dudek, ready to attack at any time.

I was the only one who made a breakthrough. Seeing Anelka's continuous running, he didn't get any results. On the contrary, Liverpool's midfielder Alonso was rushing towards him at this time. Fowler's eyes suddenly radiated a sharp look.

"It seems that you want to break through by yourself. Come on Robbie, let me see how good you are now." When Carragher saw Fowler's sharp eyes, as Carragher, the two of them used to train frequently in Liverpool, he naturally knew that this was the performance of Fowler's preparation to go it alone.Seeing this scene, Carragher immediately yelled at Fowler, and at the same time bent slightly, his legs tensed, and he was ready to defend.

Carragher's yelling had no effect on Fowler. Indeed, Fowler was already a veteran at this time, with so much experience in the game, naturally he would not be affected by Carragher's yelling.

But Fowler will not underestimate Carragher because of this, just as Carragher knows Fowler, Fowler also knows Carragher.Fowler knows that Carragher's defensive strength is very strong, and he is definitely qualified to be the pinnacle of Liverpool's future defense.But even so, so what, as a top killer in the world, Fowler has a lot of confidence.

Deciding to go it alone, Fowler immediately flicked the ball towards Carragher, and the man followed closely behind the ball, maintaining control of the ball, and rushed towards Carragher.

The distance between Carragher and Fowler was only one meter. When Fowler moved like this, the distance between the two of them suddenly closed, and there was only half a meter between them. At this time, whether it was Fowler who was attacking or Carragher who was defending, half a meter was the best attack distance.

Carragher's nerves were tense at this time, his eyes were fixed on the ball under Fowler's feet, thinking about whether he could make a move.At this time, Carragher is obviously very contradictory. Normally speaking, a distance of half a meter is definitely the best stealing distance for defensive players.But Carragher is very clear, don't look at Fowler's appearance of grabbing casually and not paying much attention at this time, but if he makes a steal so easily, Fowler will definitely react instantly and break through himself.

If the ball controlled by Fowler was easily broken by himself, then Fowler would not be Fowler.It is precisely because of this that Carragher was hesitant to make a move, fearing that Fowler would suddenly break through him and pose a threat to the goal behind him.

I don't know if it was Fowler's intention. The ball, which was slowly rolling towards Carragher, increased a little speed. Although it was only a little bit, it was still very clear to Carragher who had been staring at the ball.

Good chance, Carragher didn't think that Fowler deliberately lured him to take a kick, but Carragher couldn't help it. If he didn't make a steal in this situation, he would be really sorry for his status as a central defender. After all, the speed of the ball suddenly increased at this time, and the rhythm changed a lot.

Of course, the main reason is that Fowler is getting closer and closer to Carragher. Carragher knows very well that the closer Fowler is to him, the harder it is for him to let go. After all, for a technical striker like Fowler, the closer the distance between the two sides, the less chance Carragher will be given to react.Considering various reasons, Carragher finally couldn't hold back and finally made a move.

"It passed, Robbie broke through Carragher's defense, passed. There was no Liverpool player behind Carragher at this time. Robbie faced the Liverpool goalkeeper directly at this time. This is an excellent opportunity."

Carragher's guess was not wrong, the ball suddenly accelerated slightly, which was exactly Fowler's intention, and all this was done to induce Carragher to steal the ball, so as to facilitate his own breakthrough.

But if you think about it carefully, for a player like Fowler who is a technical forward with excellent psychological quality and rich experience in the game, how could he make a slight mistake when he is preparing to break through one-on-one.

The moment Carragher kicked out, Fowler was faster than Carragher, and flicked the ball behind Carragher, while Fowler himself accelerated immediately and rushed behind Carragher.

At this time, Carragher's right foot did not touch the ball just now, just like Carragher took a big step, and his two feet supported his body back and forth.

Breaking through Carragher's defense, just as the commentator said, Fowler had already faced goalkeeper Dudek directly at this time. Although Fowler had not yet entered the penalty area at this time, Fowler, who was at the top of the arc of the penalty area, had already entered his attack range.

Or I seldom take the initiative to attack recently. Whether it is Manchester City fans or other fans, they have forgotten that Fowler is a super killer and Manchester City's most powerful offensive player.Now, it's time to tell everyone that although Fowler is no longer young, I am still the God of Liverpool, a super killer.

Without the slightest hesitation, Fowler glanced at the goal and Dudek's position. Fowler shot straight away. Although the speed of the ball was not very fast, it was not slow either.

"Coooooooooooooooooooal!!! Robbie Fowler, so beautiful, so wonderful, and now I can't describe my excitement in words. When Manchester City needed it most, Fowler bravely stood up, with a wonderful breakthrough and a wonderful lob shot, piercing Liverpool's goal. At this time, Manchester City has overtaken the score. It's incredible. At this moment, Fowler is telling Liverpool in his own way that he is still the super killer who can score goals at will."

Under the excited explanation of the commentator, amidst the cheers and shouts of tens of thousands of fans at the scene, Fowler raised his head and stretched out his hands, just like he was in Liverpool before, enjoying the adoration of his subjects like a king. The only difference is that he changed from a Liverpool fan at that time to a Manchester City fan today.

"Damn it, such a super killer with rich experience and comprehensive skills, what did that idiot Houllier think at that time, and he didn't keep Fowler?" Although Manchester City took the lead, even Lao Bei had to applaud Fowler's attack at this time.

At this time, Old Bei couldn't help resenting his predecessor, the Frenchman Houllier. Old Bei couldn't figure out why Houllier would use Husky to push Fowler on the bench, which led to Fowler's departure from Liverpool.Is it because Houllier just likes big strikers like Husky?Thinking of this, Lao Bei was even more dissatisfied with Houlier, who he took office.

If Fowler is still in Liverpool, plus George and Owen, as well as Heskey, Baros and Litmanen, I no longer have to worry about forwards.Even if Irving was injured some time ago and George was suspended, Liverpool's results will never fall.

Different from Lao Bei's helplessness, Hughes, the head coach of Manchester City, jumped up excitedly at the moment Fowler scored, waving his fists constantly, and shouting wildly.

"What about Liverpool, what about the recovery of super giants, it's not the same. Look at the current score on the field, 2:1, we Manchester City are leading, not Liverpool, but Manchester City."

Hughes roared while waving his fist, but Hughes waving his fist, whether it was intentional or unintentional, was facing Old Bei.It seems that all the head coaches in the Premier League like the habit of shaking their fists at the opponent's head coach.

Of course, Hughes should be excited. Originally, he just expected a draw against Liverpool, but Hughes couldn't compare it at this moment. His team's two forwards were all blasphemy, and they overtook the score at home and took the lead against the mighty Liverpool.

If you can beat Liverpool, why not do it? I don’t know whether Liverpool is strong or not, and I don’t know. I only know that my team has surpassed the score on the field at this time, and Manchester City is leading.Thinking of this, while Hughes was excited, he also began to make a decision to make a substitution, replacing a midfielder with a defender.

Obviously, Hughes is preparing to strengthen the strength of Manchester City's defense, while still leaving Fowler and Anelka on the field, and continue to let the two maintain a huge threat to Liverpool's defense.

When Hughes made substitution adjustments, Lao Bei immediately decided to substitute after a short thought.Looking around at the bench, he immediately called the German Hamann to his side and said.

"Dietmar, you replace Xavi, do a good job of defending the midfielder, defend with all your strength, and mess up Manchester City's offense for me in the midfield. At the same time, you tell Steven to attack with all his strength and don't have to come back to defend."

"Don't worry, boss!" Hearing Du Laobei's arrangement, Haman nodded to show that he understood what to do.

"Jamie, that wasn't your fault. You can only say that you were unlucky and just met Robbie who broke out. The game is not over yet. Keep your spirits up. Let's continue to work hard to equalize the score."

When the head coaches of the two teams began to change players and arrange tactics, George also came from the frontcourt to the backcourt at this time, looked at Carragher with a face of self-blame, and said comfortingly.At this time, George has gradually adapted to the identity of the captain, knowing that at this time, he should fight out as the captain to motivate and encourage his teammates.

"But that goal does have something to do with me. If I blocked Robbie, then Robbie would not have scored, let alone overtake the score on the field." Carragher glanced at George and said sadly.

Seeing that Carragher is a bit of a dead end, George can't help but feel a little helpless. Carragher can be regarded as an old player with rich experience in the game, so how can he be a dead end at this time.You must know that Carragher has become an indispensable general for Liverpool's defense at this time. If Carragher is at the top of his head and blames himself at this time, then unless Carragher is replaced in the next game, otherwise, there is no need to play this game.

The experienced Fowler will naturally see Carragher's psychological changes, and of course he will not waste any opportunities. At that time, he will definitely continue to attack and break through Carragher. At that time, Carragher has already had a psychological shadow on Fowler, let alone defending Fowler.

"Jamie, it's not your fault that I was wrong. There is no defensive player in the world who dares to say that he can freeze any striker of the opponent in a one-on-one situation. You must know that the person who just broke through you is Robbie, the former god of Anfield, and the ultimate super genius of coach Houllier. Let alone you, even if you are replaced by any superstar, I am afraid that Fowler will not be able to stop Fowler in that situation."

With George's comfort and encouragement, Carragher's eyes gradually lit up. When George finished speaking, Carragher finally stood up straight, looked at George with firm eyes and said, "Thank you George, don't worry, I'm fine. In the next game, I will definitely guard against Robbie."

"Of course, I believe you can do it." Seeing that Carragher finally cheered up, George said with a smile.No way, at least so far, among Liverpool's substitute players, there is no player whose defensive strength is stronger than Carragher. Apart from choosing to believe in Carragher, George has no choice.

"The game is not over yet. We have time. Come on everyone!" Seeing that Carragher's problem was solved, George took the ball from Dudek's hand, held the ball and ran towards the free throw circle, waving his hands and encouraging his teammates.

With George's encouragement, Liverpool's morale increased greatly, and it was not hit by Manchester City's overtake score. In other words, Manchester City's overtake score did not hit Liverpool's morale, but stimulated the emotions of Liverpool players.

The referee is still very fair. He gave Manchester City any chance to delay the game. After seeing that Liverpool was ready for the rematch, the referee also stopped the Manchester City players who were still celebrating, and asked the Manchester City players to return to their positions immediately and prepare for the rematch.

The game started again, and Gerrard, who had received orders from the head coach from Harman, had completely given up his defensive work and began to attack frequently, with powerful long-range shots again and again, constantly bombing Manchester City's goal.

At this time, Manchester City's offense fell into Liverpool's tight defensive line. Although the German Hamann could not organize the offense with the ball like Alonso, when it comes to defense, Alonso is definitely not the opponent of the German.

Hamann was in the midfield, like a dam, frequently stopped Manchester City's offense, and then passed the ball out, allowing Liverpool to continue to launch fast offenses.Even if the ball can sometimes be worn under the feet of Anelka and Fowler, Anelka's style is a bit unique. Under the care of Riise and Hyypia, the already counted line is completely frozen.

And Fowler, under the defense of Carragher, who was ashamed and courageous, was also defended by Carragher, frequently making fierce tackles. Carragher was telling Fowler in his own way, you choose the same ball as your own feet.Fowler is not a fool, nor is he an idiot. Naturally, he would not risk his feet being crippled to compete for an offensive opportunity.

In this way, when Anelka and Fowler, the only double forwards that Manchester City can rely on, were frozen by Liverpool's defenders, Liverpool started their own crazy counterattack.

The crazy Liverpool is undoubtedly the scariest. With Liverpool's crazy attack, James can't feel his hands or anything at this time. He can only numbly make every save, and pray that the game can end soon.

However, at this time, the goddess of luck did not seem to favor Manchester City. In the 29th minute of the second half, as Gerrard received a cross pass from Smicer, he directly shot a long-range shot 27 meters away from the goal.

Facing the big gift from James, George naturally would not be polite. With a light push with his right foot, he pushed the ball into Manchester City's goal.With George scoring twice, the two sides returned to the same starting line again.

However, Liverpool did not seem to intend to end in a draw. The equalizer greatly boosted the morale of the Liverpool team and started a more crazy attack.

Finally, in less than 34 minutes between the 38th and 5th minutes of the second half, Liverpool scored two goals with Gerrard's long shot and Kewell's small angle shot.

From equalizing the score to overtaking two goals, the crazy Liverpool told the Manchester City players within 10 minutes, don't provoke us, otherwise, the consequences will be very serious.

Scoring three goals in 10 minutes, such a crazy result, made everyone on the scene feel a burst of fear when they saw the red-eyed Liverpool players.At this moment, such a crazy Liverpool, in this world, there is still a team that can stop it.

In the end, with Liverpool's crazy performance of scoring three goals in 10 minutes, Liverpool finally overtook the score again and defeated Manchester City 4:2, continuing to maintain the pressure on Manchester United.
