320 You will never walk alone
"Two to zero, I really didn't expect it. Blackburn easily gained the advantage of two goals.
"We often say that Klose is the most comprehensive striker. Most of his goals are headed and right foot, but it doesn't mean that he can't shoot with his left foot. In the goal just now, Klose's shot with his left foot was also so stretched. I can't see any discomfort at all.
Mortson likes Klose very much. Although he is a player from England's old rival Germany, Morterson's favorite is ** naked.
"Two to zero, Blackburn is only one step away from his first League Cup champion."
Everyone believes that this season's League Cup championship is Blackburn's pocket.
George praised Blackburn's performance in the locker room. Blackburn's performance in the first half was almost impeccable.
After the start of the second half, Liverpool did not change personnel.
But they are much more active than in the first half. In the first half, they were more defensive counterattacks, but now that they are two goals behind, they are useless to counterattack defensively. Therefore, they attacked much more fiercely at the beginning of the second half.
The biggest change is Owen's retreat, not at the front.
And Gerard on the right is no longer leaning towards the middle, but working on the side.
After Owen withdrew, the most uncomfortable thing was Macleley. The most praised thing about Macleley is that he has an excellent choice of position. Every time, he can judge the opponent's ball. With this, he has become a world-class midfielder.
But what Macrelei doesn't like most is fast players.
Especially players like Owen. Owen is explosive and fast. Even if Macleri can judge Owen's breakthrough route in advance, it is useless. Because Owen can change direction while running at high speed.
Therefore, even if you meet Owen head-on, Maclelele is very uncomfortable. Because Owen can use his explosive power to shake himself.
And because of Owen's mess, the Liverpool midfielders are alive. Smitchel often assists to the front, and Borg also comes to the middle to help from time to time. Macleley can't deal with it alone, so Deko has to come and help.
As soon as it came up, the initiative of the game fell into Liverpool's hands.
But George didn't adjust. After Owen came out, there was only one Fowler in the restricted area. Fowler is no longer the Fowler of that year, and its power has decreased a lot. Therefore, George is not in a hurry to adjust and will continue to have a look.
Now Liverpool lacks a long-range shot master outside the penalty area, so George is not afraid. If Gerald now has the kind of dominance in the future, George may still be afraid. Now?
But George didn't sit down for long. In the eleven minutes of the second half, Owen received a pass from Mitchell again. This time, Fowler did not nest in the penalty area, but also withdrew to respond.
"...Irving, passed to Fowler... Fowler passed the ball!"
It turned out that after Fowler received the ball, he just dialed to the right and had no intention of controlling the ball at all. At this time, Owen was moving forward at a high speed, and the ball was just on Owen's way.
"...Owen, there is Deco in the front, Owen passed Deke... Panucci, Owen shook over Panucci... There is a shooting angle, Owen, shot!"
Mottson suddenly didn't breathe at all.
Owen is really too fast. After Owen got the ball, he flew by like the wind. In the face of Deko's defense, Owen had no other action at all. It's a steering in a high-speed run, passing by Deke at once.
This kind of ball can't be grabbed at all unless it is a foul of Deco.
After Owen passed Deco, he immediately entered the penalty area. Maclele just defended Fowler, so he couldn't catch up with Owen. In front of Owen is Panucci, and Panucci's position is very stable. There is no room for Owen to break through.
But Owen shook a small angle with speed, and then shot hard.
When Owen shot, the angle was already very small, but the ball still flew in from a small angle near the post.
"Irving! Owen! This ball is completely Owen's personal strength, and Blackburn's defense is of no use to Owen at all. Owen broke through from the midfield until he shot. Owen, Owen has scored many such goals this season.
It's not easy for a golden boy like Owen to come out of England.
Therefore, all British footballers highly praised Owen. Mortson is no exception.
Seeing Owen's goal, Liverpool fans, who had been silent for a while, began to be excited. They sang, "You will never walk alone!" This is the team song of the Reds Liverpool that made the European football world famous.
After scoring the goal, Owen did not celebrate, but immediately picked up the ball in the middle of the goal and put it in the middle line. Ask Blackburn players to kick off quickly. Seeing Owen's positive appearance, all Liverpool fans shouted "Michael. Owen!"
"Michael!"
George stood up at this time. It's not enough for Liverpool to fight like this. Liverpool is not an ordinary team. It is a strong team. There are still 30 minutes left before the end of the game. It is impossible to be so passive.
George waved his hand to warm up Blackburn's bench players.
But George is thinking about how to adjust it.
But before George's adjustment, the situation on the field has changed again.
After 20 minutes of the second half, Harman got the ball and passed it to the right side.
After Gerald on the right stopped the ball, he did not immediately hand it over to Mitchell and Owen in the middle. Instead, facing the same young Riser, he went forward, and then strode up. In this game, Gerrard rarely did something on the sidelines, even if he got the ball and didn't give it to the middle, and then it was a 45-degree cross.
But this time, he suddenly broke through the outside line, which caught Riser off guard.
And what Reese didn't expect was that Gerrard's speed was not slow at all. Especially the long leg, it is completely unstoppable when running forward.
After Gerard dumped Riser, he didn't rush in. It's a standard transmission. Gerrard's cross is very curved and fast. This kind of ball is very difficult for Kudicini to defend. If you go up, the curvature of the ball is too big, and if you don't go up too fast, anyone may score a goal.
Kudichni did not move forward in hesitation.
At this time, a figure appears in the passing route like a ghost. In the middle of the tall Blackburn defender, a fish jumped to the top.
"Gerard... In the middle... Owen, it's Owen! Owen grabbed the ball in front of Ferdinand, and Kudicini couldn't do anything about it. Owen! This is Owen's second opening, and Owen's state is compelling.
"Liverpool equalized the score within 20 minutes of the second half."
"This game is very good."
When Owen scored the goal, all the Liverpool fans jumped up. They shouted Owen's name in their mouths.
This time, Owen did not go to get the ball in the goal, but raised one arm and turned twice in front of Liverpool fans.
George saw Owen's goal and kicked the mineral water bottle under his feet fiercely. The mineral water bottle jumped high and fell next to the warm-up Drogba. Drogba, who came back from the warm-up, was shocked, and then looked up and saw George with a gloomy face.
George is very dissatisfied. Although Gerrard's cross is indeed very dangerous. But Kudichini either took it off or prepared to block it near the door line. But Cudicini neither stepped forward nor retreated. He stood there and hesitated a little. When Owen headed the ball, he had no chance to react at all.
There are also Ferdinand and Panucci. Two tall men stood in the penalty area and let Owen, who was a little over 1.7 meters, grab the ball. What a shame.
Listening to the Liverpool fans singing "You will never walk alone", George sighed for a long time. The advantage of two goals was actually brought back by Liverpool. If you lose the League Cup in the end, you will become a big joke in British football.
George can't wait.
Immediately replaced Saniol with Hargreaves, and then Blackburn's formation became 3-6-1. Of course, it can also be regarded as 3-4-3, leaving only Panucci, Ferdinand and Riese in the defense line.
After Hargreaves went up, as long as Owen withdrew and took the ball, he would stick to him.
Under normal circumstances, George is a defense with few people staring at him. Because it's easy to disrupt your defense. But for the most dangerous Owen in Liverpool, George took a man-to-people defense.
George's task to Hargreaves is very simple. Once Owen wants to take the ball in the midfield, he can't speed up by any means. Including fouls. Owen entered the front and waited for a counterattack, so he also went down to be a defender.
Anyway, I asked Hargreaves to go up just to keep an eye on Owen.
As for Fowler, since the injury came back, the explosive power, speed and technology have decreased a lot. The injury of the cruciate ligament made a generation of geniuses begin to fall. Anyway, it can be said that the current Fowler only has the first half of the injury.
After Hargreaves went up and stared, Blackburn's offensive also started. George has already used three defenders, and of course they understand what George means.
Especially Bellamy, who played awkwardly in the second half, because of Liverpool's attack, he could only come to defend. This made Bellamy very dissatisfied. Therefore, with the improvement of Blackburn's attack, Bellamy's face to Carragher is simply completely **.
The fast-speed Bellamy has no technology at all in the face of Carragher. It's just that the ball is passing, but it can work again and again.
Although it is just a side road, as soon as the side road is opened, there are all kinds of offensive routines. If you want to defend a fast-speed sideline like Bellamy, the defender himself has rich experience. You can get stuck, but Carragher can't become an old deep-fried dough stick all at once.
There is one person in the bench, German player Sieg. Unfortunately, Sieg is in a worse state than Carragher, and Hollier has no choice.
Of course, there is another way, which is to shrink the defense line. Once the defense line is contracted, such as Bellamy, it is fast, but it is difficult for players with average skills to play.
Hollyer chose the latter method.
