football killer

Chapter 73
"Damn Manchester United, damn Dutch!" Seeing that Ruud van Nistelrooy opened the scoring for Manchester United, Houllier, who was calm on the sidelines, couldn't help cursing.

Don't talk about the hatred in Houlier's heart.From the beginning, the players were required to play steadily, and they must pay attention to Manchester United's two wings and the top killer Ruud van Nistelrooy.The two wings don't care whether the defense is good or not, but as far as Ruud's defense is concerned, there are obviously loopholes.

Everyone knows that the damned Dutchman is the king of the penalty area. Why is he the king of the penalty area? It just shows that Van Nistelrooy's lethality in the penalty area is very terrifying. You must know that this title is not self-proclaimed by Van Nistelrooy, but by his own strength. Such a dangerous person, his own players can still be negligent, which makes Houllier angry.

What made Houllier even more helpless was that he tried to blame his own players. After all, Hyypia had been guarding Solskjaer, who was as dangerous as Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Riise had been defending Beckham and Carragher.As for Henkez, in that case, blocking the hole is also the wisest choice.

In short, if you want to blame, you can only blame the strength of the Manchester United team, and the Manchester United team has a trace of luck.

"What are you all doing, cheer me up and play well!" Houllier couldn't sit still at the moment, standing on the sidelines and yelling at the players in the field.After all, Manchester United is not a weak team. It is difficult to achieve a comeback when playing against Manchester United like playing against a weak team.

Although Manchester United led by one goal, the atmosphere at Anfield remained undiminished. Liverpool fans sang loudly and kept cheering for the team.Among them, the atmosphere in the North Stand is the most frenzied, because the North Stand of Anfield Stadium is the former KOOP Stand. The Liverpool fans who can sit here are definitely loyal fans of Liverpool. They only like and cheer for one team in their lives, and that is Liverpool.

The game started again, and the Liverpool players started a crazy attack, because the players don't like to lose at their home court, and they still lost to the arch enemy Manchester United.

"Damn it, I hate this place. It really is the devil's home stadium as people say!" Heinze, the Argentine who had just cleared Maxlett's ball from the wing, looked at the stands and said to Giggs next to him, who were shouting wildly from Liverpool fans.

"Hehe, Anfield Stadium is such a stadium. Although Liverpool is not as crazy as the Champions League in the league, but in Anfield Stadium, the winning percentage has always been high. Pay attention, don't be careless!"

Hearing Heinze's complaint, Giggs smiled and said, in fact, in Giggs' mind, red only belongs to one team, that is the great Manchester United. At the same time, the best fans and the best stadium in the UK will always be Manchester United fans and Old Trafford.

Maxlett tossed the ball to Riise, who came in from the backfield, and rushed into the field himself, running towards the baseline, ready to respond.

Riise, who got the ball, did not take the ball, but passed the ball directly. The ball bypassed Ryan Giggs who was rushing up to press, and came to Gerrard's feet.

Gerrard didn't stop the ball, he just made a through pass and put the ball into Manchester United's penalty area.At this time, a brisk red figure was chasing the ball quickly, and this person was Owen.

Who is Owen, the golden boy of Liverpool, the golden boy of England, a world-class striker, whose superb shooting skills make all goalkeepers headaches and even fear.Its wind-like speed earned Owen the nickname of the Son of the Wind.

At this time, Owen began to show the style of the son of the wind, quickly catching up with the football, and directly cut inside, just like rushing towards Manchester United's goal.

The wind-like speed and agility made Owen directly throw off the encirclement of Keane and Scholes. At this time, the only Manchester United player who can closely follow Owen is the Frenchman Sylvester.

In fact, Sylvester has always been in charge of defending Owen. After all, Irving has extremely fast speed. If O'Shea is allowed to defend, I am afraid Owen can easily pass O'Shea and come to a single-handed fight.

The reason why Sylvester was used to defend Irving was that Ferguson also had his own ideas. That is, although Sylvester was not as good as O'Shea in terms of defense and aerial control, Sylvester was characterized by quick response, fast speed, and good foot skills, so Ferguson let Sylvester take charge of Owen.

Obviously, Ferguson's arrangement was correct. Sylvester has been closely following Owen, squeezing Owen from time to time, trying to steal the ball.

Sylvester would also like to thank Keane and Scholes. If it wasn't for the siege of the two, which slowed down Owen's speed a lot, otherwise, it would be difficult for Sylvester to catch up with Owen, let alone defending and stealing the ball.

It's a pity that Sylvester's opponent this time is Owen, who can become the golden boy recognized by the whole of England. Owen doesn't just rely on his windy speed, on the contrary, Owen's skills are also very good.

Facing Sylvester who was constantly squeezing beside him, Owen knew very well that if he had to compare his body with the opponent's defender, it would be impossible to defeat his opponent.

Thinking of this, Owen lightly hooked the football with his foot while sprinting, and at the same time stopped instantly. At this time, Owen and Sylvester were already in the penalty area of ​​Manchester United.Sylvester never thought that Owen would make an emergency stop. When Sylvester realized it, it was too late, and the inertia made Sylvester involuntarily slide forward a distance of one meter.

A distance of one meter is enough for a striker of Owen's level. Seeing that Sylvester was thrown away, Owen directly kicked the goal without the slightest hesitation.

The power of the shot is not very great, after all, Irving himself is not a powerful forward.However, due to the close distance to the goal and the tricky angle, the ball got into the net while Barthez was stunned.

"Coooooooooooooooal!!! Michael Owen! Our golden boy used his actions to prove to everyone that he is Liverpool and the golden boy of England. No one can ignore his existence, and no one can ignore Liverpool with Owen. Praise God, praise Liverpool, praise Owen!"

Following Owen's goal, the commentator yelled loudly in a provocative tone. In fact, there was no need for the commentator to remind him. The moment Owen scored, the entire Anfield stadium began to go crazy like a volcano erupting.

After scoring the goal, Irving ran wildly on the field with a smile on his face, and finally jumped up and slid on the turf when he was about to run to the sideline.

"Did you see, I scored a goal, I'm Michael Owen, I'm the best!" Owen raised his hands high, yelling frantically at the Liverpool fans, while thinking secretly in his heart.

During this period of time, the pressure on Irving was actually not small. With his return from injury, many people are wondering whether Irving, who used to score like a ball, can maintain the terrifying scoring rate after the injury.

Although with Irving returning to the team, after four games, Irving also scored three goals and one assist.According to the general situation, this kind of data is already very good, but the strict English media still maintains doubts about Irving, thinking that the opponents in these games are only weak teams. Even if Irving can score goals, it still cannot prove anything.

However, after Owen scored a goal, Owen knew that with his goal, all outside public opinion that doubted him would disappear. After all, he was Manchester United in this game, and he scored the goal of the dominant team in the Premier League. What else can the outside world say.
