six finger demon

Chapter 89
Wonderful goal-forward connections are actually not uncommon. In ancient times, English football often used typical long passes.

The goalkeeper has a big foot, and the other players are crowded in the penalty area, looking for a chance to score a goal.

But such a simple and rough style of play is not practical. If the opponent is on guard, it will often form a defensive counterattack.

Therefore, at the beginning of the new century, goal-front connections have become rare.

But it is undeniable that after such a successful blitzkrieg, Liverpool's morale was greatly hit.

Houllier's team is in the upper middle of the Premier League. If they don't work harder in the new year, they may lose their Champions League seats at the end of the season.

And yesterday's "Sun" reported that Irving's agent Holm said in an interview: "The Champions League is very important to Irving. Irving is 24 years old and is gradually reaching the peak of his career. He needs to participate in high-level competitions. football game."

Holm then "threatened" and said that the next five months are very critical to Liverpool, and Owen's fate depends on the team's performance.

Although Owen himself did not show his intention to transfer, Houllier knew that in the second half of the season, whether it was Manchester United or Chelsea Arsenal, he could not afford to lose.No matter how bad it is, it would be good to get one point each from them.

But now Liverpool has not come up with his capital for a defensive counterattack, Chelsea has already scored a goal.

Whether it's a coincidence or intentional, the fact that he is behind is enough to give Houllier a headache.

Will Liverpool's "Blue Bridge Nightmare" continue?
Houlier cast his eyes on Tang Wu in the backcourt, his eyes were full of fear and unwillingness.

It was this guy who, in the last few 10 minutes of last season, took away the Champions League places that should have belonged to Liverpool. Unexpectedly, half a year later, he was not abandoned by the team, but grew into Chelsea's main force.

Houllier even had some regrets. If he had insisted on appealing to the FA, wouldn't this damn Chinese goalkeeper be permanently excluded from the Premier League?

It's too late now!

If Liverpool want to score at least one point in the away game, Gerrard and Owen who have just recovered from injury must play at least one!
Houllier looked back at the bench, then looked up at the time, but still suppressed the idea of ​​substituting.

This goal came too early!
"Gremi, you should be lower!" Mutu didn't dare to say anything to Crespodo who scored the goal, so he had to complain in front of the Cameroon winger.

"Adrian, it's really not easy to hit that ball!" Gremi spread his hands, "Although Don's pass is good, but the opponent has two defenders guarding me."

"Okay, then pass the ball more accurately next time!" Mutu was annoyed as he fought for the front point.

If the defenders of the Red Army had all gone to guard Crespo at that time, then the scorer just now would have changed to the name "Adrian".

However, it is too late now.

"It would be great if Tang's "Mountain Top" could come again!"

After the Blues scored a goal, they did not change their original tactics.This goal is like an add-on, an extra gift from the opponent!
Chelsea did not give up attacking because they were leading, and Liverpool did not fight back because they were behind.

In this way, the two teams "run in" for more than 30 minutes in the Red Army's half, and the Red Army finally couldn't sit still.

In the 38th minute of the game, Houllier replaced Kelway, and the chasing boy touched the turf and ran to the field.

The rest of the first half was spent warming up Owen, and Houllier didn't think that he could change the situation immediately by replacing a striker.

But Owen didn't think so.

In the past six months, Owen's state in Liverpool has been ups and downs.Some say it's because of injuries, others say it's because Liverpool limited his development.

But Owen himself knows that whenever it rains, the man who caught his penalty will appear in front of his eyes.

In the new season, Liverpool's record is not very good.

After Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea occupy the top three and go hand in hand, Liverpool has opened a big gap with the first echelon.

But even so, there are opponents like Everton and Newcastle who can earn the fourth place with Liverpool.This does not bode well for Irving, who wants to show himself in the European competition.

Maybe it's time to leave the Premier League!
Owen thought about it.

But every time Owen had this idea, another derivative idea lingered in his mind.

"Goal! I must score him a goal!" I don't know how many times Irving woke up yelling in his sleep.

It would be fine if Tang Wu was sold to the second- and third-tier leagues by Chelsea, but now Tang Wu has gradually secured Chelsea's starting line-up.

The idea of ​​"scoring him a goal" has become an obsession deep in Owen's heart.

Owen doesn't mind challenging this young man who is four or five years younger than him, and he doesn't mind using his position as a forward to bully a goalkeeper.

At the moment when he faced Tang Wu again, all he thought about was scoring goals!
Liverpool's originally solid defense was converted into an offense because of Owen's playing!

In the 39th minute, taking advantage of the neutral position of the substitution, Husky suddenly advanced.

After passing Gallas on the right side of the penalty area, he swung his leg and made a cross. Owen met the ball with a low shot from 16 yards in front of the goal line, but was blocked by Tang Wu's close-to-the-ground dive.

In the 41st minute, Liverpool patiently looked for opportunities in the frontcourt through a tactical corner kick.

When the ball came to Irving's feet, Irving directly used his not very good physical confrontation to squeeze Terry away and kicked hastily.The ball crossed an arc in the air, and was pushed out of the baseline by Tang Wu, who was seeking stability.

In the 43rd minute, Liverpool sent consecutive corner kicks.

This time Murphy kicked forward, Diouf stretched out his head and pushed the ball towards the back post.

Tang Wu on the goal line seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. When the ball was still flying in the air, he stepped on the ground with one foot and made a saving posture.

Owen, who followed up at the end, stretched his neck, and under the interference of the defenders, he pushed out and smashed the earth.

With such a close-range bouncing ball, Irving already planned how to celebrate after landing.

But just as the bouncing ball was about to cross the goal line, a huge white-green glove suddenly appeared in front of the ball, blocking the ball from continuing to bounce high.

Bang!
There was a muffled sound that only those who were close could hear.

Tang Wu supported the ground with his right arm and raised his left arm.

This most difficult shot to defend was directly caught by Tang Wu's left hand, and the ball was confiscated in the next second.

"Fack! Shet! ASS HOLE!" Owen fell to his knees and kept pounding the ground with his fists.

Is his door so difficult to enter?
Seeing Owen like this, Gerrard on the bench shook his head, his friend was still in a hurry!

"Lightning!" After being attacked with high intensity for 5 minutes in a row, even the clay figurine became angry.

Ignoring the frustrated Owen beside him, Tang Wu quickly got up in a stomach full of anger, and ran to the frontcourt shouting with the ball in his arms.

"Mountaintop!"

"Mountaintop!!"

"The top of the mountain!!!"

Simple Chinese words were spread out loudly, and Mutu and Crespo in the outermost circle ran away without saying a word.

Seeing the appearance of the soldiers of the blue army, why don't the members of the red army know the opponent's intentions?
With a sound of "Wu Yang", the two teams, one blue and one red, rushed to the outside of the penalty area.

Faster people, faster balls!

Tang Wu had already aimed at the target, so he swung it with all his strength.

The football in the left hand drew a beautiful arc in mid-air, and landed precisely at the feet of Joe Cole at the intersection of the sideline and the center line.

"The top of the mountain!" Joe Cole also roared, hitting the back of the ball with his right foot.The ball stuck to the turf and quickly rolled towards the Liverpool penalty area.

"Fack, whew, Fake, Fake!!!" The Romanian striker alternated his legs with the fastest frequency, but he could only watch the ball roll past him.

Seeing the football getting farther and farther away from him, Mutu gradually stopped, and his strength and expectations also left him at that moment.

Mutu is not the top player, Crespo is the most expensive.

Crespo memorized the opponent's running position and the trajectory of the ball with just one glance.In less than a second, the optimal judgment was quickly made.

When football, Crespo, Hyypia and Traore were about to converge on one point, the deadly Argentine striker tapped the ball with the outer instep of his right foot.

The ball immediately bounced in the air, drew a deep parabola, passed over Dudek's head, and fell into the net.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!" The entire Stamford Bridge at this moment, only the commentator's roar was left.
