Chapter 300 Defeat Torres with a pass

Owen's goal made the KOPs nervous!

Because before that, countless people had seen the reversal spell of madman Li at Stamford Bridge, Old Trafford, San Siro, Camp Nou, and Mestalia. Whenever his team seems to have no way out, this Chinese can always give way through rapid response and adjustment. The face suddenly changed, and the willows and flowers were bright in another village!

And now it seems that Owen's goal is the precursor of this reversal!

Involuntarily, Liverpool fans turned their eyes to the front of the coach's seat on the sidelines. They hoped that Benitez, who also had magical magic, could restrain the madman Lee. And the Spanish coach did not disappoint the fans, and quickly made a substitution adjustment - replacing Dutch striker Kuyt with Mali's big Mohammed Sissoko!

This is obviously a premeditated substitution.

Because, after the substitution, the players on the field of Liverpool skillfully changed their position on the court: Gerrard on the right side moved closer to the center to the position of the second striker, while Norway ** Risse, the Argentine monster Mascherano, passing expert Harvey Alonso and Mohammed Sisoko formed a new four. Midfielder.

Although the adjusted Liverpool still maintained the 4-4-2 formation since the start of the game, the Reds' interception and steal ability in the midfield immediately rose to a terrible height. The new Malian Sissoko's physical fitness even far exceeds that of Warcraft Drogba and Ghanaian Buffalo Love, like a moving black iron wall in Liverpool's midfield, while Mascherano still focuses all his attention on "taking care" of Michael Owen and escorting Alonso.

As for Riser, although the Norwegian comes from a full-back, his breakthrough ability and long-range heavy artillery can be called the Premier League's best!

There is still a source in this game - now Alan Smith, the main midfielder in Newcastle, played for the Red Devils Manchester United a season ago, and his calf bone was broken because he was desperate to block the strong shot of ** Riser's powerful shot... It can be seen that the power and speed of Riser's free kick. It's tough.

And it must be pointed out that the beauty of Benitez's substitution is not only to use Sissoko's appearance to strengthen Liverpool's defense, but also to move Gerrard to the middle to release Liverpool's unparalleled attack power and greatly enhance the team's attack!

Because an all-round striker like Gerrard can score 20 goals in the two positions of forward and shadow striker in the last season!

What's more frightening is that the Reds also have a goal on the striker who looks like Saint Fernando Torres of Spain!

After the magical substitution of Benitez, Liverpool burst into the greatest energy at this moment, like an Autobot in Transformers suddenly switching from a vehicle state to a humanoid battle form!

The defense has been strengthened!

The attack has also been strengthened!

This is the real mystery of the Spaniard's substitution this time!

The fiercest attack is about to break out!

Newcastle will face a huge threat like a storm!

Sure enough, less than two or three minutes after Benitez's substitution, Liverpool immediately reversed the situation on the scene - Newcastle wanted to take advantage of Owen's goal to suppress the Reds, but Liverpool's defense in the midfield made the Magpie's attack like a wave encountering a reef, which was difficult to shake. The opponent is a little bit. In this way, it can only frequently scratch the opponent's penalty area through the most primitive long pass, and such an attack is as non-threatening to Liverpool, where Carragher and Daniel Agger are on the back line.

In the front court.

Ame Obi was not modified by Lao Li. He had no temper in the face of the joint strangulation of Daniel Aggar and Fennan veteran Haipia, while Michael Owen could not play his first-class header in the face of football from behind because of his height disadvantage, and was firmly entangled by the Argentine monster Mascherano. As for Alan Smith... The magpie's violent front waist completely fell into Liverpool's muscle forest in the midfield!

Newcastle's defense system?

In addition to Steven Taylor's ability to pose a threat to Torres, A-Faye and three other defenders are completely playing the role of soy sauce in front of the Holy Baby. If Duff and Juan Mata hadn't retreated to the backcourt to help defend, several people would have been fooled by Torres!

Joey Patton, the man who successfully froze C. Ronaldo, is on the task of freezing the Red Army soul Gerrard in this game.

This task is not difficult, because unlike Gerrard, who likes personal dribbling to break through Cristiano Ronaldo, the soul of the Red Army is more inclined to create opportunities for Torres to pass or make a long-range shot in the game. Such technical characteristics make it difficult for Joey Patton, the back of the "super enhanced version", so it is impossible to completely suppress it at all. Energy to help Steven Taylor!

No matter from which link, Newcastle is completely passive!

Time passed quietly in the boos and cheers of Anfield!

Less than 5,000 Newcastle fans in the stands are so nervous that they are about to spit out their hearts!

In a blink of an eye, the whole game has reached the 65th minute.

Newcastle is like an unlucky man who unfortunately fell into a mudless swamp, sinking bit by bit, and the only person who keeps a chance of survival for the magpie is Given. It is the Irish national goalkeeper who uses his reaction speed and bounce save ability that can only be described by the word "pervert" to shut out Torres, Gerrard, Riser and Alonso's endless shots again and again, barely retaining a chance of survival for the dying Newcastle!

But if a team wants to win the game, it can't rely on the goalkeeper alone, because it's no different from an ambitious expeditionary army that relies on food and fodder to win!

It's very unreliable!

Someone must stand up to change all this!

At this time, it seems... it seems... it seems... maybe... er, it's really time to wear men's clothes!

So, Li Tongfan walked to the sidelines with a grim face and raised his infamous middle finger in European football to the Newcastle players on the court!

See the middle finger again!

At this moment, the last ray of sunset over the Anfield Stadium disappeared on the horizon in the distance, and the night began to cover the city of Liverpool. I don't know where a ray of wind blew from, raising the Armani black windbreaker worn by the madman Li for years, as domineering as the dark emperor who finally woke up!

For a while, all those who watched the game live or through TV broadcasts trembled.

It's still coming!

This moment!

For Newcastle players on the field, they have been waiting for this gesture for too long! Forty-five minutes in the first half plus twenty minutes in the second half, the soldiers in black and white sword shirts were already out of breath in defense!

Finally, you can defend and attack!

I would rather lose a big score in a fearless attack than lose a small score in the same defense as Sun Tzu!

On the field.

As the goalkeeper Jiwen kicked out the football in his hand, the horn of the counterattack blew!

Attack!

This is the whole meaning of Li Tongfan's gesture!

......#......#......#......70 minutes ago.

Anfield away team locker room.

"...After the game starts, we have to choose to defend and defend with all our strength by sacrificing attack. Except for Michael, Alan and Ame Obi, everyone else must stay in their own half at all times..."

After announcing the team's starting list, Li Tongfan stood in front of the simple tactical board for the last tactical arrangement before the game: "Remember, no matter what the score is, we must stick to the defense until I raise my middle finger on the side of the field, you can attack! Once the attack begins, everyone must go all out... Don't defend any more. Jose and Habibi can boldly press up according to your playing habits and use your greatest energy to give ruthless damage to their opponents!"

Why is that?

Although the hammers were puzzled, they still nodded to show their understanding.

Li Tongfan thought for a while and added a few more words: "Attention, you should think about saving physical strength in the process of defense! Also, Joey, after the team's counterattack begins, you still stay in the backcourt... Moreover, from now on, your defensive goal will become Liverpool's sharp knife Torres...!"

Patton nodded with a bad smile.

At this time, Steven Taylor, a stupid big guy, finally couldn't help asking, "Boss, I'm curious. Why do I have to use the middle finger as an offensive gesture? Is there any special function? Some people say that your middle finger has magic..."

Brush brush!

The players and members of the Newcastle coaching staff turned their heads and stared at Lao Li. Obviously, everyone was very curious about it. You should know that the madman Li's middle finger has become a big mystery in European football, and there is no scientific and reasonable explanation so far. As a result, it has become a little mythical and magical!

"Uh... Well, don't you think the middle finger gesture is very cool, mysterious, and can scare the opponent?" Li Tongfan explained a few words with a black face, and then became impatiently angry in everyone's disbelief: "It's really wordy. Why do you ask so many questions? If you dare to let your opponent score a goal from you today, I will deduct your monthly salary... Humph!"

How to explain the sulking man's anger? Is it clear to tell the players that they are just pretending?

Stupid big Steven Taylor scratched the back of his head and was dumbfounded!

The other hammers laughed loudly and quickly stood up one by one and left the locker room to prepare for the field, for fear that the boss who was stabbed in the reverse scale would find a reason to deduct his salary.

......#......#......#... on the court.

Newcastle suddenly got into trouble after shrinking like a grandson for more than 60 minutes.

The Red Army Liverpool, which had the complete upper hand from beginning to end, was blinded by Newcastle's sudden attack. The habit of thinking and kicking made the Reds' overall reaction slowed down... So, until Ame Obi pushed Gibbon's big foot out of the Liverpool's penalty area, Alan Smith After receiving the football, the fake action shook Fennan's veteran Haipia's rush to Michael Owen's feet, and the exclamations of the KOPs in the stands sounded unconsciously... But it seemed a little late to react at this time!

Although Mascherano is still firmly entangled with Owen, and pushes, pulls, withdraws and pulls all kinds of small movements, this does not prevent the lightning killer from ejecting the football behind Reina for the second time with his superman's first-class speed. The goal.

After Owen's shooting was complete, Mascherano's foul effect was late.

An extremely obvious foul in the penalty area, Owen fell in the penalty area after shooting, and there is no doubt that he can directly award a penalty, but the referee Andre Marina blew the silver-white whistle in his mouth after a little hesitation and pointed his finger at the middle circle of the court... The goal is effective!

2:2!

It's flat!

Li Tongfan stood on the sidelines and clenched his fist excitedly. This was just the beginning.

This attack just now seemed to be because Newcastle was lucky, but in fact, there was a necessity hidden by chance.

The negative defense in the first half was to kill the sharpness of the Reds at the beginning of the game, and after nearly 40 minutes of iron barrel array, Magpie has successfully loosened the nerves of Liverpool players that have been tense since the beginning of the game without even realizing it.

When the enemy thinks he is the most powerful, when the enemy returns to his control of everything, it is a fatal blow to them. Although Liverpool's players are all the best in the field of players and have a strong heart that longs for victory, as long as they are individuals, they will have this kind of psychological fatigue!

Of course, Li Tongfan dares to "play" like this, and the most important thing is the prediction of the FM2008 system. The above understanding is analyzed by Lao Li himself according to the proposed results. In fact, it now seems that every deduction is a learning process, and the changes in each competition deduction in the FM2008 system are a vivid textbook for any head coach!

Li Tongfan has been learning all the time. Maybe one day he will lose the FM system. But when that day really comes, maybe Lao Li has grown up to the point where he can directly regret the world-class handsome without falling behind without relying on cheating!

... Just as Li Tongfan clenched his fist excitedly, another person on the side of the court was furious!

Benitez kicked the sports drink at his feet angrily on the sidelines, and then turned around and punched him hard on the plastic ceiling guardrail of the coach's seat behind him. The fact of losing the ball does not make the Spanish coach angry. What is really angry is that the maniac Li's middle finger magic really works in Anfield.

For Benitez, this is a naked shame.

Because this scene directly explained to all the fans who watched the game that he lost to Li, the madman who could only steal the spotlight, and lost to a descendant who was 20 or 30 years younger than himself!

Of course, what was most unacceptable to Benitez was that the one who scored was the ghostly Michael Owen!

Well, even if Liverpool can win the game in the end, I'm afraid that the British media will catch this matter after the game and hype it up, and those Red Army fans who have always missed Owen and are eager to welcome the former leader back will definitely make a fuss!

You should know that before this game, many Liverpool fans have strongly recommended that the club buy Michael Owen back, because Owen has burst into incredible energy in both the national team and the club this season. Almost every Red Army fan will fantasize: if Owen is bought back and let him and Fernando Torres form a one-high-one fast golden partner, he can definitely become the strongest front line at Anfield in the past two decades!

Bang!

Benitez hit the plastic guardrail of the coach's seat with another punch.

Damn it!

But... Looking back on the scene of Owen and Torres fighting side by side, Benitez's reason told him that it was indeed a good choice. Maybe the problem of "Tores partner" that has been bothering me since this season can really be solved... Do you really want to try to quote Michael Owen at the end of the season?

Spain himself didn't find it. Subconsciously, he already regretted selling Owen!

... on the field!

After the goal, Owen did not choose to celebrate, but directly drilled into the goal to pick up the football and ran back to the middle circle of the court.

This is urging Liverpool to kick off quickly!

Gerrards did not hesitate at all and started the ball quickly.

Owen doesn't want to accept a draw, and Liverpool can't accept it. For the proud Reds, losing to a team like Newcastle at Anfield is an absolute shame.

After this kick-off, Newcastle did not shrink back to the defense, but immediately launched a counterattack in place. The Magpie's defender line pressed forward more than ten meters, and Juan Mata and Duff no longer retreated to their half-time to participate in the defense. In addition to Joey Barton's defense, even full-backs Jose Enrique and Habibie increased the range of forward assists!

The tip of the needle is against Mai Mang!

The scene of the game finally became popular!

In the 70th minute, Torres got the opportunity again, but Anfield's Holy Baby returned again when facing Gwen. Under the interference of Joey Patton, this shot seemed a little weak, which was a no threat to Gwen, who was possessed by a god in this game!

The sound of regret from the Anfield stand seemed to be hundreds of kittens clasping the glass with their sharp claws, and the cool sound waves made Li Tongfan's stomach standing on the sidelines burst into the stomach.

And the magpie quickly returned to color.

After Alan Smith smashed Alonso, he shot a cold arrow 40 meters away from the Reds' goal. Because of the shooting force, the Spanish goalkeeper Reina did not dare to take the ball, so he had to choose double boxing in a hurry... However, football did not fly out of the dangerous area, and Michael Owen, who killed like lightning, worked hard. Get rid of Mascherano's entanglement and dive into the door, and the football flew out of the beam... There was an ultrasonic exclamation in the stands again!

Li Tongfan helplessly took out a ball of toilet paper from his pocket and stuffed it into his ear, and then shrugged his shoulders and smiled at the stunned assistant coach Alan Shearer. This scene was caught by the live broadcast, and it is estimated that it will become a tidbit of the league for another week after the game!

... As the game gradually became white-hot, the arrow characters Torres and Michael Owen of their respective teams became the most grabbing figures on the court under the deliberate arrangement of the tactics of the coaches of both sides.

Anfield has become a stage for direct confrontation between the old and new golden boys.

"... Torres! The Holy Baby easily broke through Jose-Enrique's defense. Joey Patton pulled with all his strength beside him, but he couldn't keep up with Torres' rhythm... Shoot!! Damn it, it's Jiwen again!"

"...Juan Mata's pass... Whoo, horrible! Owen, who is 1.72 meters tall, actually hit the football before Haipia, who is 1.91 meters tall! Haipia is really old... Fortunately, Reina's concentration blocked Owen's header from the goal..."

In the 76th minute, Gerrard made a strong turn on the sidelines!

Because the speed of the ball was too fast, Newcastle's two central defenders, A-Faye and Steven Taylor, did not dare to reach out and touch the ball. The moment of hesitation of the mouse hesitant once again gave Torres, who inserted strongly from the back point, a chance.

Sheng Ying's close-range push shot finally deceived Jiwen's defense. Unfortunately, after the football crossed between Jiwen, it bounced off the far-end goalpost. The shocked Cameroonian defender Habibi took the lead out of the penalty area... "...God! What a pity! Torres has not been in good shape for a few minutes. He has wasted at least three or four times on absolute opportunities that can be easily grasped at ordinary times..." The live commentator sighed: "But the good news for Anfield fans is that Newcastle's ace striker Michael Owen is not in a better condition than Torres. He also wasted a lot of opportunities..."

It seems to be to prove the commentator's words. In less than a minute, Owen wasted a few precious single-knife opportunities. Looking at the football tightly pressed under the frightened Liverpool goalkeeper Reina, Owen turned around and raised his hand to apologize to Juan Mata, who created this single-knife opportunity... The game continues!

Because both sides are playing against each other without scruples, there are continuous good opportunities to score goals, but Owen and Torres have the ability to waste opportunities in the game after scoring. The score of 2:2 on the court has not been broken!

With the passage of time, it seems that the game is going to end in a draw. Such a result is completely acceptable to Liverpool people, because once the final score is fixed at 2:2, the myth of victory of the madman Li, who has plagued European football for almost two years, will end in Anfield!

This honor looks more convincing than the victory of the game itself!

In the 89th minute, Liverpool made the last kill of the game!

"passing expert" Alonso's precise long pass accurately caught the mistake of Newcastle's offside tactics in an instant, sending a fatal over-top long pass near the middle circle. Tores**, who is successful against offside, does not form a single knife!

Here comes the opportunity for the Holy Child in Anfield!

However, during the third trip, Torres seemed to have made a small mistake. Excessive force under his feet caused the football to get out of control... Although Anfield Holy Baby quickly used his excellent speed and explosive power to regain control before the football flew out of the bottom line, but at this time he shot. The angle is already very small... In the face of Given, who has completely blocked every shooting route, Torres did not choose to knock the football to Gerard, who had waved the ball on the other side, but chose to shoot vigorously... Bang!

The football was smashed out of the penalty area by goalkeeper Jiwen.

"...wrong choice! Torres should give the football to Gerrard in a better position instead of choosing to shoot by himself! A golden goal opportunity was wasted in this way. You should know that a simple horizontal knock can give Gerrard a chance to push the empty goal... Alas! Too young, too competitive! It seems that the game is really going to be a draw... God, look at Newcastle's attack!! Danger..."

Just as the commentator was still sighing, the situation on the court suddenly changed!

The football smashed out by Given fell impartially at the feet of Newcastle defender Habiby. The 31-year-old Camerooner remembered the layout of the boss crazy Li before the game and boldly took the ball along the side road to tell the breakthrough!

After encountering Sissoko's robbery near the center line, Habibi knocked the football in the middle, and then continued to run along the sideline. Sure enough, after running three or four steps, teammate Alan Smith once again sent the football back to Habiby's feet!

A successful midfielder two to one!

After continuing to break into a distance of about ten meters, facing Liverpool defender Insuya, Habibi wisely lowered the speed and sent the football into Liverpool's penalty area with a 45-degree diagonal long pass on the sidelines!

Cameroonians are looking for Ame Obi!

Ame Obi, who is 1.94 meters tall, made the most correct handling of the ball in this game. He suddenly shrank his head when the football was about to hit his forehead. Haipia, who followed Ame Obi closely, did not expect this situation at all. He watched the football fly over his head but did nothing. Force... And on the back of the Liverpool penalty area, a lightning-like figure was inserted at high speed!

Michael Owen!

However, the bad state of the new golden boy Torres seems to have infected the old golden boy Owen. Owen also made a stop error when handling the ball this time. When Owen completely controlled the football under his feet, he was almost in the same straight line as the Liverpool goal!

Zero angle!

What should I do? Shoot the goal?

Time rushed, Owen didn't have room to think carefully, but sent out the football under his feet with his feeling... "... Ame Obi's fatal and intentional missed the ball. It's dangerous. Owen is going to cut it alone!! Oh, he made a mistake in stopping the ball!! Haha, zero degree angle, there is no time, Owen chooses to shoot... Whoo, NO!! With a cunning pass, Owen sent the football to the other side of the player, and Juan Mata pushed the empty goal!"

At this moment, the captured Anfield fell into silence!

...3 minutes later!

The Anfield Stadium is still silent. The KOPs don't know whether to treat the former Red Army leader with cheers or boos. Owen scored in the way they expected, but it was indeed Liverpool's door!

Perhaps only the words of the live commentators can best represent the mood of the KOPs at this moment:

"...The battle of the golden boy, Owen laughed to the end! And Michael finally used only one pass to beat Torres! Perhaps Torres, who is more mature after three or four years, can also do this when his feet are not good, but today the Spanish baby has to bow down to the young man chasing the wind! Goodbye, Michael Owen, you have won the present, and we have harvested the future!
