179 young Gerrard
George made no other changes in the second half. As long as Owen returns to the penalty area honestly, his strength will be greatly reduced. Owen is not the kind of striker. What Owen is most afraid of is to give him some space to take the ball, break through, finally shoot or pass the ball.
Therefore, George just gave more instructions to Hargreaves, as long as he made sure that Owen would not do whatever he wanted. George is not afraid of the current Liverpool midfield.
Because Hollior has just entered Liverpool, he has not completed his own lineup. After this season, Hollior will make a big change for Liverpool. At that time, most of these players in Liverpool midfield will be thrown into the transfer market by Hollier.
"After Hargreaves came on the field, he performed really well. It has both speed and body, and the defense is also fierce. I can't tell at all that he is a 17-year-old young player. The future of this young general must be extremely bright.
"The England youth team should hurry up. Hargreaves can represent England, Wales and Canada. Such a good seedling should stay in England.
Although he only performed for about 20 minutes, the commentator was amazed by Hargreaves' performance. Owen, who is active in the middle, has not been active since Hargreaves played.
Although Owen is young, there are really few people who can force Owen to change the direction of his breakthrough in the Premier League.
And Hargreaves is young, and it will take more than two months to become 18 years old. So it seems that Hargreaves is a talented player with strong strength. Such a good player really shouldn't give up.
Indeed, Owen was still the biggest threat to Liverpool at the beginning of the second half. But compared with the first half, the threat is much smaller. Owen's threat declined, allowing Blackburn's defense to finally take a breath.
That's what happens in the world. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.
Liverpool's attack is no longer as sharp as the first half, followed by Blackburn's counterattack. When George formed Blackburn, he emphasized offense more than defense. Therefore, Blackburn is still a team that is stronger than defense.
Blackburn's attack is very distinctive, and most of the attack is controlled by Miku. Pires and Duff on the two sides will keep changing their positions to put pressure on Liverpool's two sides. And Klose is definitely not the kind of standing pile center, and he runs very wide.
In the position battle, Klose sometimes presses up to suppress the opponent's guard line. This will give Miku and the back plug-in of Deko enough long-range shooting space. Or keep running in the front court to drive the opponent's central defender.
But when fighting back, Klose rarely pressed forward. Instead, he withdrew to take the ball, giving Pires and Duff on the side more room to counterattack.
Although Klose is not strong enough now, it is precisely because of his tactical ability that he is very in line with George's style of play. That's why George is so important to Klose.
And Blackburn's counterattack is very layered, one after another. After losing the ball, he directly counterattacked in the front court. George attaches great importance to controlling the second point. Only when the second point is controlled will the attack be like waves, wave after wave.
Such an attack is very possible because Blackburn has an assist-type full-back like Van Bronkhorst, Sanior, and a strong midfielder like Deko.
"During this period, Liverpool was under a lot of pressure from Blackburn. It's true that George replaced Macleley with Hargreaves.
Although the attack was fierce, George was very anxious on the sidelines. If you can't score a goal, no matter how much you control the ball or shoot, it's useless.
Blackburn's performance during this period is indeed very good, and George hopes to continue this performance. The best way is to defeat an English giant like Liverpool at Anfield. Of course, George also has a little selfishness. He just wants to beat Liverpool at home.
It was given to David at the beginning. After Morse was embarrassed, George turned around and regretted it. After all, the opposite is Liverpool, which is the first giant in England. So George was a little disappointed, and he also wanted to give it to David at Anfield. Morse looked at his strength. Miss yourself as David. One of the most failed things Morse did.
"Let Kevin warm up." On Blackburn's bench, except for David on the offensive line. Dunn and Kevin. Gallagher.
George prefers to trust Kevin at this time. A veteran like Gallagher.
However, George hasn't made a choice, and Hollier has made a change first. Replace the No. 9 on the 17th.
A slightly shy young man on the sidelines stood on the sidelines and waited to play.
"No. 17, this is a young player trained by Liverpool itself. On May 30, 1980, he was a young player who had just passed the age of 18. This is the first time he has played for the first team. Coach Holier has replaced a newcomer in such a difficult game. There are no young players who have played any games in the first team.
"I don't agree to let a new player play in such a game. Let's see what he has to do to make Hollior so valued. The player's name is Steven. Gerrard."
Yes, the owner of such an ordinary number as No. 17 is the later Liverpool captain Gerrard.
Gerrard came to the first team this season, and Owen, who is one year older than Gerrard, has become popular in England and even the world. But Gerrard is still a substitute in Liverpool and has never played for the first team so far.
This is Gerrard's first appearance in an official game, replaced by Liverpool God Fowler.
"Gerard? Eighteen years old? It's the first time to represent the first team. Evan looked for Gerrard's information and handed George Gerrard's information.
George shook his head and pushed away the information. For players like Gerrard who have not yet shown their appearance in the first team, even if there is information, it is just ordinary information. It's hard for others to say that the famous Gerald George doesn't need information yet.
Gerard, how on earth does Holier want to fight? At this time, Gerrard did not have the kind of majestic ability later, he was just a fledgling defensive midfielder.
"I don't need that information, I know Gerald. If only I could bring it to our club." Although it is an extravagant hope, no club wants a player like Gerrard.
George needs to observe Gerard's position now, but it seems that he is just standing at the back of his waist.
George nodded. It turned out that Houllier's idea was just to strengthen the defense. Owen was left in front to fight back alone, while Gerard swept in the midfield with abundant physical strength and amazing speed.
Gerrard's health is good, bothering Miku and Deko in the midfield. Both of them were impatient. It's really because Gerrard is fast and in good health, and it makes people feel very uncomfortable.
George despised Holier, which really lost the face of the rich family. At home, he didn't want to attack and win. Instead, he changed a striker and a midfielder. I despise you. There are still more than 20 minutes left in the game.
If others hear this sentence, it must be George. Why do you take it for granted when you play shameless defense by yourself?
But George really wants Liverpool's defense to move a little further, which is very good for Blackburn's current playing style. What a pity!
George looked at the situation on the court and found that Miku did not perform well under the pressure of Liverpool's midfield. Moreover, there are a pile of people in the middle of Liverpool, and it is difficult to get in. So use Kevin. Gallagher replaced Miku.
George simply gave up the attack in the middle and let Deco organize the attack. Instead of letting Deco break through the defense from the middle, but letting him send the ball to Pires and Duff on both sides. It is still necessary to open a gap from the two sides.
After that, Blackburn's playing style is much simpler, that is, it is handed over to two sides. Let Pires and Duff use their personal abilities to create opportunities for cross-the-swain. Then let Klose and Gallag seize the opportunity in the penalty area.
"Duff, cross... Klose's header... James! World-class save, James used this save to make up for his mistake in the first half.
"Kevin. Gallagher! Re-shot... It's James again... Beautiful!"
"I heard that Hollior is not very satisfied with the current Liverpool midfield. Indeed, Liverpool's midfielder is completely at a disadvantage in this game.
Looking at the good situation on the court, George is unwilling to take only three points. So I made a pressing gesture, hoping to win the game. But he hasn't broken the door of Liverpool. George sat there and was a little anxious.
After a long time, George frowned tightly. There have been several occasions when Blackburn is very different from the goal.
James, the nerve knife, made a low-level mistake in the first half. In the second half, it was like a stimulant, all kinds of saves. George patted his head and couldn't understand an English goalkeeper like James.
Towards the end of the game, it is still Blackburn's siege of Liverpool.
Another cross, James picked the ball. Then it was quickly handed over to Borg in the middle, and Borg passed it to Owen in front of him.
Owen didn't delay, because Hargreaves posted it later. This man is like a dog skin plaster, which makes Owen unable to do any action. So Owen handed it over to McManaman next to him.
McManaman, who was suppressed throughout the game, did not force in the face of Saniol, but walked along the sideline. Sanior didn't stop him, but just kept his position, because Owen is the only striker in the penalty area now. Saniol is not afraid of McManaman's cross. As long as he is not allowed to break into the penalty area, there will be no problem.
McManaman had no idea of entering the penalty area, but after shaking an angle, he passed it inside.
"McManaman's cross... Who is this? No. 17, this is Gerrard!"
