Chapter 340 Owen's Smartness

Liu Han's goal caused boos at Anfield, but then the referee ruled that the goal was invalid. Liverpool fans immediately changed the boos to cheers. This slightly weird behavior is actually very common in the Premier League. The fanaticism of fans towards the team ranks first among Premier League fans.

Arsenal's players immediately surrounded the referee, and they all believed that Liu Han's ball was not offside.In fact, Liu Han's goal just now belongs to the category of judgment or non-judgment. If he is completely offside, it is not wrong. , but the lineman still resolutely raised the flag.

The Arsenal team, which has won six consecutive victories (including the Charity Shield Cup final) since the start of this season, has obviously been "taken care of" by the referee. As a "multinational team", the core of the team is also a team dominated by foreign players. Compared with Manchester United and Liverpool, which represent the local forces of the Premier League, the referee will be stricter with them in the game. Chelsea is also treated in this way. However, the reason why Chelsea is discriminated against is their boss. Can't be a human being, Ken Bates' big mouth always offends many people, although he can be regarded as an outstanding businessman, and he also saved Chelsea in the most critical moment, but generally speaking, Bates is considered Not a qualified team owner.

The referee did not change the judgment due to the pleas of the Arsenal players. He still ruled that Liu Han's goal just now was invalid. draw cards.

Seeing that the Arsenal players who could not change the result returned to their own half under the persuasion of Bergkamp and others, Liu Han did not participate in the incident at all. He was ready to send the ball into the gate guarded by the Liverpool goalkeeper again.

Wenger put up a four-back lineup for this game in order to be safe, but he made a mistake in the selection of back personnel. Only Keown and Adams played in the last game of the four veterans. The disadvantage of all defenders is that they are too slow to turn around and not flexible enough. Originally, Wenger put up such a defender lineup to guard against the rookie striker Heskey introduced by Liverpool this season. This 1.9-meter-zero black player has an impact It's perfect, but what I didn't expect was that Houllier actually sent a double small striker combined by Fowler and Irving.

After Owen made his debut in the Premier League on May 1997, 5, he quickly became the future of British football in the British media. He is a real golden boy. Of course, he did not disappoint those who followed him. In one Premier League season, Owen scored 6 goals in 36 league games. This data made Owen become the Premier League Golden Boot together with Deon Dublin and Christopher Sutton that season. The youngest Golden Boot.

In the 98 World Cup in France, Owen became England's full-name idol by virtue of the very personal goal he scored against Argentina in the quarter-finals. The status of the team has gradually stabilized, and Fowler, who has a similar style, has a sense of crisis.

However, in this game against Arsenal, Houllier actually let Owen and Fowler play together, which surprised many people. After all, the combination of one high and one fast striker is popular in the Premier League now.

Owen and Fowler used their flexible skills and running positions to mess up Arsenal's slightly old defense. If it weren't for Vieira's non-stop positions, Arsenal might have fallen behind by two goals or even Three goals.

At this time, if Wenger made adjustments to the defense earlier, maybe Arsenal's situation would have changed a lot, but Wenger hesitated at this time, he was worried that he would replace the veteran of the team before the first half was over. It will make these veterans have opinions. After all, Arsenal's defense is still based on these veteran players.

Wenger's hesitation caused the Arsenal team to fall into chaos again. In terms of on-the-spot command, Wenger still seemed inexperienced.

At the end of the first half, Liverpool launched an attack.

Midfielder Redknapp dribbled the ball around Ljungberg's defense and then moved to the left with a kick.

Owen, who was pulled to the wing, did not choose to pass the ball after receiving the ball, but singled out Arsenal's defense. His agile figure made Arsenal's defender look a little clumsy.

Owen's recklessness may seem a bit stubborn, but it was his fearless drive that completely humiliated Arsenal's defense.

Facing Adams' defense, Irving got out of the way with a simple acceleration to get rid of the opponent. Now Adams can't turn around at a speed that can't keep up.

And Owen suddenly cut inside again before Arsenal's Keown came over, and then flashed a small angle and hit the goal directly.

Neither Arsenal's defense nor goalkeeper Manninger realized that Owen would choose a cold shot in such a situation. Manninger had nothing to do with this low shot and watched the opponent score.

Owen's wonderful solo performance made more than 4 Liverpool fans ecstatic. The wind-chasing boy in the 98 World Cup has now become a king, and Liverpool fans look forward to them being able to reproduce the glory of Liverpool.

Before the half-time was over, Arsenal fell behind by two goals. This made Wenger a little angry, and at the same time regretted his mistakes. This is probably one of Wenger's character strengths. He is very good at discovering his mistakes and correcting them immediately. correct.

Manninger drove the ball to the middle circle, Liu Han and Bergkamp kicked off again in the middle circle, but when Liu Han dialed the ball, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

Wenger went straight to the locker room without even thinking about it. He had to make adjustments to the team's lineup. Although it was only a league match, Wenger felt that there was nothing to lose in any league game now. The Manchester United team has always been tight. Followed behind the Arsenal team, they will immediately go ahead when the Arsenal team is a little slack, this is Ferguson's forte.

Houllier followed the players back to the locker room somewhat complacently. He was very satisfied with the results of the first half of the game. Fowler and Irving each scored goals, which Houllier did not expect. Excluding such a lineup in the game is actually a helpless move. Fowler told him that he would never sit on the bench, and Houllier did not have the guts to put Owen on the bench, so the current lineup is actually Houllier. I was trying to change the team lineup, but I didn't expect the effect to be good.
