Chapter 139 Qualification and Great Turbulence 2

Owen is leaving!

Although the media has not received any news, it is already a recognized thing in the Liverpool team. This blow seems to be a little big for Liverpool. Of course, it's just the fans and the media, but nothing for the players. Husky has left. What can Owen do if he stays in the team?

Everyone doesn't know, but those old players know that it is not easy for Owen to perform without Husky's pass. Since the fall of the peak, the English golden boy has become more and more dependent on his teammates.

And those who stay in Liverpool for a relatively short time, or are just new players, are just a little regretful about Owen's departure, which does not affect their mental state at all. Some people are even secretly happy, such as Baroche, who almost didn't say anything sarcastic.

Jack Don is also a little sorry. Although the two have some inexplicable conflicts, Owen is a super star after all. Being a teammate with such a player will definitely help him. But now that Owen is leaving, he is also relieved. After all, he is just a newcomer in the team, and there is always such a famous player. If you put it on your own head, no one will feel too good.

Owen is gone, and everyone is under no pressure.

As for the team's performance? Don Jack doesn't think that the proud guy can really bring anything to Liverpool. He left, and maybe the team is more harmonious.

Anyway, Liverpool didn't say anything about Owen's departure, so everyone's game status was not affected.

In this way, the Graz team, which was still happy before the game, immediately suffered.

The gap between the two teams is obvious. Even if Austria is the first team to win the double, when it comes to the Premier League, a team like Graz must be worried about relegation. This is the gap in the strength of the league, and the quota of the UEFA Champions League shows this point.

As a result, Graz was beaten by Liverpool and couldn't lift his head.

The score is the same. In the 22nd minute, Hallie, who joined Liverpool for £5 million last year. Cowell made contributions on the left side. He made continuous breakthroughs on the left side, and then stopped the ball and turned around and passed straight to the veteran Harman.

Ditmar. Harman is thirty-one years old this year.

He first grew up in the German market town of Konazlet until his family moved to Munich in 1976. As a young player, he was born in Munich Wacker and then went to Germany's overlord Bayern Munich. In 1998, after completing 106 Bundesliga appearances for Bayern Munich, Harman transferred to the Premier League club Newcastle for 5.5 million pounds, and a year later joined Liverpool for 8 million pounds.

Such a resume also gives Harman rich experience and awareness of the game. He is the pillar of Liverpool's defense and an indispensable member of the team's attack. His passing always creates good opportunities for his teammates.

It's the same this time. After Harman inserted the ball, he swept the field in front of him and subconsciously took a step to the left. Before the other party could react, he passed it directly to the middle, so that Gerard who inserted the ball successfully got the ball.

Next is a long-range shot 20 meters in front of the door!

Gerrard's long shot!

Although Gerard thinks that his long-range shot is not as good as Don Jack, his long-range shot. The accuracy was still very high. The corner went straight to the upper left corner of the goal. The opponent's goalkeeper subconsciously jumped up and threw the ball. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the football flew directly into the net.

Liverpool led 1-0. Such an opening was really exciting. Then Liverpool launched a big offensive again, with the momentum of not scoring and vowing not to turn back. As a result, Graz was suppressed for the whole half and had no ability to resist.

It's really depressing to play such a game at home, but the huge strength gap between the two teams also makes Graz. They want to attack it, but it's impossible. Liverpool's strong midfield control makes Graz's front and back players almost out of touch, unless they use a long pass, the football root. I can't get through the half-time.

It's a pity that Liverpool failed to score another goal in the following half.

After the start of the second half, maybe the coach said something at halftime to mobilize the momentum. The performance of the Graz player improved, and he also found an opportunity to shoot twice in a row, one of which was quite threatening. However, the football finally failed to pass Dudek's ten fingers.

Liverpool took a long breath.

The same is true for Don Jack on the bench. He can't play himself. Of course, he also hopes that the game can be won. This is not all for Liverpool. Most of them are for his own sake. If he loses the game, it will be difficult to play the next game. Liverpool can't pass Graz. Don't care how they will perform in the future. Can participate in the UEFA Champions League. And he himself joined Liverpool for one reason because of the European competition.

The season without the European arena is doomed to failure.

Fortunately, this kind of thing did not happen. Even without Don Jack, Liverpool's performance was still very strong in the face of an opponent like Graz. In the seventy-seventh minute, Gerrard instigated the attack from his own half, and Gibril, who made his first appearance. Cise took the ball from the side and passed it to Cowell in the middle, and then Gerrard strode on the right side and inserted it. Under the pressure of the other two players, he turned around and shot low to send the ball into the opponent's goal again.

2 to 0!

A very easy victory. Don Jack felt that the game was over. In the second half, it was 2-1 to zero. Even in Graz's home court, in the face of this huge power gap, the other side may not have much morale to continue. What's more, there is still the next round between the two sides. Although Graz's chance is slim. It's not that there is no chance. They may consider leaving the suspense in the next game.

As Don Jack guessed, Graz gave up the game. Although the two sides played enthusiastically, the players on the court knew in their hearts that they had begun to play tacitly. This is a tacit understanding of a professional league team.

I don't work hard to play, and you don't work hard. Let's keep this score and win or lose in the next round!

This is tacit understanding!

Obviously, Liverpool players also have a tacit understanding. This result is absolutely acceptable, so everyone shook hands steadily in the following game. The final result of the game was also bis 0. Liverpool scored two goals away from home.

The result is still good.

But no one cares about this. At the post-match press conference, Benitez was chased by a large group of reporters to ask questions. Almost all of their questions revolved around Owen: 'Why didn't Owen enter the team's list?', 'Where is Owen's next stop? Real Madrid? What is Owen worth? Why did the negotiations between the two sides break down?' Although Liverpool did not announce it, the media are obviously not fools. They have analyzed everything from the clues.

The current interview is just to confirm.

Benitez was asked a lot of trouble. At the beginning, the Spaniard patiently said a few words in official language, but after a while, he simply kept silent. The questions of these media reporters were so tricky that Benitez didn't know what to say that would affect Liverpool Club.

Fortunately, one of the 'cute' reporters asked other questions: "Why didn't Jack play?" "What do you think of Jack's strength? Will he have a chance to become the main force after the start of the new season?" "Can you tell me what you think of Jack?" Wait, these questions made Benitez happy.

He took a closer look and noticed that these reporters were all Orientals like Don Jack. It was difficult for Benitez to understand why Don Jack, a Moroccan, had so many Eastern reporters who wanted to know about him. In the eyes of Europe, there is no racism or the concept of 'motherland', but this does not prevent Benitez from being happy, because he can avoid answering those annoying questions about Owen.

"Are you talking about Jack? Li? Oh, yes, I introduced him to Liverpool?

"His strength? Very strong, I admire him very much!"

"Why didn't you play? Of course, Jack has just joined the team. You know, I have to familiarize him with the team's tactics. He doesn't quite understand these. It takes a long time to get used to it. It's normal for a professional player.

"The main force? There must be a chance. Liverpool is a complete competition mechanism. No matter who performs well, there is a chance to become the main player.

"I think Jack is a young genius worth cultivating. He will grow better in Liverpool. He may have the opportunity to become a big star and train a big star. I like it very much..."

......

Many Chinese reporters who listened to Benitez's words smiled happily. They finally had something to report. As for when will Owen leave Liverpool? Are those important in front of Don Jack's big news?

Owen is gone. Our Jack is missing a competitor. That should be a good thing, isn't it?

If you are not afraid of bad influence, some reporters will even ask directly, 'When will that annoying Owen leave?' This kind of question, as for the impact of Owen's departure on Liverpool? What does that have to do with them?

All they care about is Don Jack.

Maybe some Liverpool fans or Owen fans want to know this news, but they all saw so many reporters asking questions just now, and the Spaniard didn't answer at all... Will they answer if they ask?

It's not that we don't interview, it's that this guy doesn't say anything, and there's nothing we can do... Well, it's a little self-deception, but who let these reporters not have Owen's fans...

※※※

No matter what the reporters ask, Liverpool Club is silent about Owen's transfer. When the team's players face the interview, they also put on a completely ignorance attitude. This is what the club tells everyone. After all, it is not good to listen to this kind of thing in advance.

As for Real Madrid, they will not say it foolishly until it is really finalized. It is almost equivalent to forcing Owen, which has no benefit to both sides. As a result, Owen's transfer has been delayed.

In fact, Liverpool has been trying to save it, but Real Madrid's contract for Owen can hardly be refused. What's more, Owen has been extremely disappointed with the club in the past two days, and he is determined to leave.

Three days later, on August 13, the reporters finally waited for the exact news.

Spain's As, British BBC Radio and Sky Sports all preemptively reported a piece of news: Real Madrid and Liverpool reached an agreement on Owen's transfer, and Liverpool's striker Owen from England joined Real Madrid.

In the afternoon of the same day, Real Madrid Club held a media meeting for Owen, at which Owen showed the No. 11 jersey he would wear in the new season. No. 11 is the number of former Real Madrid's legendary striker Stefano, which shows Real Madrid's expectations for Owen.

The media has different opinions on this matter, but they agree that Owen has become a substitute...

Because before this, Real Madrid's first target was the French midfielder Vieira, but Arsenal's price was really high, reaching a high price of 38 million euros, which made Real Madrid, the galactic warship, reluctant to bleed. Under such circumstances, Real Madrid can only pull away Owen, just because Owen's value is much lower: 12 million euros plus 25-year-old midfielder Nunez.

Such a 'low' value does not match the identity of Owen's star, but Liverpool still accepts it. The main reason is that Benitez feels that it is better to send away Irving Liverpool as soon as possible. What's more, Owen's current state is not very good, and it is too difficult to sell at a high price.

Real Madrid's treatment is also good. Owen and Real Madrid signed a four-year contract.

Many media reporters are not optimistic about the transfer. The main reason is that Owen got nothing in Real Madrid except a high-paying contract. Now the situation of Real Madrid is very crowded, and Owen's arrival is a little melancholy for Bernabeu's prince Raul, and more Spanish media are asking. : Feigo changed the right-wing chicken ribs, Zidane magic midfield, Ronaldo sharp frontline, Beckham strengthened the brand, but Michael. What on earth can Owen do at Real Madrid?

No one knows. After all, the league hasn't started yet.

It doesn't seem to matter. In short, Liverpool finally sent Owen away and picked up a bonus player Nunez. No one really knows this guy. Even Benitez only knows that he is a substitute for Real Madrid and a substitute in the substitute. However, the guy trained by Real Madrid may be able to win in Liverpool. The second spring?

Well, it should be said that it is the first spring. No one can know before. This guy's first spring has not bloomed yet.

"Maybe this guy will be rented out?" Most people are not optimistic about Nunez. The main reason is that this guy is in a place like Real Madrid, but he is too unfamous.

But in the end, Benitez decided to keep him.

Nunez is a winger, and his strength can only be regarded as average, but the biggest advantage of this guy is that he never sticks to the ball, always passes the ball, and the passing accuracy is very high. Benitez thinks that this guy can quickly integrate into the team, so Nunez is lucky to stay.

Next, Owen left Liverpool, which has finally reorganized the lineup, but he is really in a state of tension, because the intense Premier League is about to begin.

On August 15, when the league players were still on vacation, the Premier League was about to officially kick off. In the first game, Liverpool faced Tottenham Hotspur from London!

Don Jack has been looking forward to this day for a long time.

This is the Premier League, not the Bundesliga. Obviously, the game here is one level higher than the Bundesliga, and the competition between the teams is more fierce. Don Jack is looking forward to playing against the top stars.

Tomorrow... It's tomorrow!

What he is looking forward to is to score a goal in the official game. He hasn't scored a meaningful goal for a long time, which makes Jack Don feel that his legs are about to rust, but it can be regarded as a real confrontation---

Tottenham Hotspur, I'm sorry, let's start with you!
