Owen scored a lot of goals.

Owen has not had major injuries this season, at most he has had a short-term cold, and has been playing as the main striker, and most of the games missed in the league are because of the intensive squad rotation of the event, the number of games he has participated in, and the goal statistics will be beautiful.

So far, Owen's league goals stand at 14.

This data is not low compared to 29 appearances, the average efficiency of one goal in two games is still good, in the entire Premier League, Owen's goal number is also ranked fifth, in front of Zhen Shaolong, C-Ronaldo, Torres and Anelka, and the second-place C-Ronaldo has only scored 19 league goals, and the data comparison can know that Owen's goal data is quite good.

This also proves that Owen's strength is really good.

Of course.

Owen is actually a little dissatisfied in his heart, mainly because it is rare to have no injuries for a season, he hopes that the goal efficiency will become higher, not to mention the direct comparison with Zhen Shaolong, it is also very good to surpass others and rank second in the league.

Now there's still a chance.

With four rounds left in the Premier League, Owen thought that he would break out, and it was still possible to move up two more places, as long as he could play beautiful goal statistics, the outside world would have less doubts about his strength, and there would be a lot more support, and the position of the England national team would be more secure.

Plus, he's about to leave Newcastle United.

Owen has already confirmed that he will leave Newcastle United, and the exact transfer has not yet been decided, but regardless of the club of the new club, if the scorer list can be a good ranking, it will definitely be easier to negotiate a new contract.

When he heard Zhen Shaolong emphasize letting his teammates pass him the ball more, Owen was quite grateful, one or two goals are meaningless to Zhen Shaolong, but to him, every goal is extremely important, he feels that Zhen Shaolong is because of his own situation, he needs goal data very much, so he will say this to others, otherwise he can't think of other explanations.

It's not just Irving who thinks so, but so do his teammates.

Giving Owen more passes?

Why?

"Could it be that Owen used any method to impress Zhen Shaolong......

Geremi thought.

He felt that he should take a closer look.

Zhen Shaolong didn't make a special explanation, and he couldn't explain it at all, he just told his teammates what to do, he didn't care if Owen had a chance or not, how many goals he scored, and emphasized passing the ball to Owen just because he didn't want to touch the ball more.

Just because you don't touch the ball doesn't mean you don't score.

Zhen Shaolong also has ideas about scoring goals, although the task requires the interval between touches, but after ten minutes, he can also touch the ball, mainly has very good opportunities, his touch may be able to convert into a goal, what he has to do is to 'find the right opportunity to touch the ball'.

Touches that are unlikely to convert into goals are simply given to teammates, who will have a hard time scoring anyway.

It's afternoon.

The Newcastle United squad has arrived at Anfield Stadium by bus, and the away game is a physical challenge for the players, and it will take some time to get back into shape after getting off the bus for nearly two hours.

So when they arrived at Anfield, assistant coach Caflo led the team to warm up, and they warmed up more than half an hour earlier on the pitch.

When the time is almost up, the Liverpool players will arrive.

Because of the significance of the game and the large number of fans who came, Anfield opened 20 minutes before the ticket check-in, so fans could enter the stadium earlier, and wait for the two teams to have an official pre-match warm-up, and the surrounding stands were already filled with fans.

On the territory of the Liverpudlians, Newcastle United is not popular, the most unpopular is Zhen Shaolong, many fans hold quite unfriendly banners, and some even simply abuse, attracting many cameras to point over.

Zhen Shaolong also saw it.

He only shrugged his shoulders.

After so many games, his heart is already very strong, and it is normal for the away fans to be unfriendly, which also represents their fear of themselves.

However, the unfriendliness of Liverpool fans did not become the focus, and a large group of beautiful female fans in the south stand, wearing the 'Zhen Shaolong' style large jersey launched by Adidas, shouting cheers for Zhen Shaolong, were the highlights of the game.

Football is like that.

The more popular the game, the more inseparable it is from women, news media reports like to revolve around 'football stars' girlfriends', 'female star fans', and 'football babies', and the TV cameras that broadcast live games are also sexist, whenever they sweep to beautiful female fans, the camera will stop slightly, and it is difficult for male fans to have similar treatment.

This large group of female fans who supported Zhen Shaolong suddenly became the focus.

Not only the news media and TV cameras paid attention to them, but also the players who warmed up on the field, many players looked in that direction, and some teammates said sourly, "Zhen, look, your female fans!" ”

"Mine?"

"Yes, yours, they all belong to you!" Milner's voice sounded like he was sour, but he could only lament that he didn't have good-looking cheeks.

Zhen Shaolong glanced in that direction, and waved his hand to signal to the supportive fans, causing a large number of screams in the stands, and he turned his head and showed that he didn't care, "James, you don't understand." ”

"Actually, it's annoying to have too many female fans to support it, it's really annoying, for example, I have to think too much about finding a girlfriend, because it will hurt too many women. , I'm a good person, I can't bear to do that. ”

Zhen Shaolong said that he was a good man.

Milner almost spurted blood as he listened.

Owen, Grami, Jean, and even Coloccini, who had always had a low presence, all had less friendly expressions.

————

The game is about to begin.

In the home team's dressing room at Anfield, manager Rafael Benitez is making the final tactical arrangements, he has adjusted his strategy for Newcastle United and decided to play a normal offensive and defensive battle, while the defensive side will send more forces to pay attention to Zhen Shaolong, and the defense in other positions can be slightly relaxed, and at the same time, they must also ensure the attack.

'The key is that we have to score more goals than our opponents!'

Benitez stressed seriously.

The Liverpool players were listening attentively, and the players led by Gerrard also nodded their heads along with Benitez's words, and the expressions on their faces were full of determination.

When it was time for all the players to come out, the Liverpool players gathered around the pitch and shouted 'come on' to cheer them up, each of them hoping to beat Newcastle United and fight for the league title for Liverpool.

That is indeed the defense of dignity!

As long as the players like Liverpool have a similar eagerness and are determined to play.

They showed a strong conviction.

Liverpool's leading scorer, Fernando Torres, was also determined, and when he stood in the centre circle, he looked at the Newcastle United goal from afar, and kept reminding himself, "Be calm!" Be serious! More seriously! ”

"Be sure to score! More goals! ”

'To take advantage of the chances, to score more goals, I want to help the team win!'

The other side.

Newcastle United's performance was much more lackluster, no, it should be said that it was a bit funny, when Liverpool was cheering collectively, their 'five-man group' was in the rehearsal ceremony, and after an inexplicable declaration, everyone who participated in the 'rehearsal' was embarrassed.

For example, Owen.

Owen rarely participates in the activation of "Spirit of Football", mainly because he wants to participate but is always on the bench.

This time Owen got involved.

"Football Spirit" temporarily improves the accuracy of shooting and is indeed a great help to the forward players, but under the gaze of tens of thousands of fans, Irving feels that there is no way to see people when he does shouting and acting to the extreme.

Fortunately, it wasn't him.

Zhen Shaolong was also involved, the cameras and fans mainly paid attention to him, and Owen was only the object of 'secondary' attention.

Afterwards.

The competition has officially begun.

Liverpool rushed towards Newcastle United half after kick-off, Zhen Shaolong did not have any idea of participating in the defense, and rushed to the front at the first time, which also helped attract the opponent's defensive attention.

Of course.

When Liverpool attack, it's useless to attract attention.

Liverpool failed to hit the penalty area, and after completing the steal at the back, Newcastle United quickly launched a fast attack, and the wing Duff took the ball to the bottom line, and was blocked by the opponent when he crossed, but it was soon Liverpool's attack again.

You wave.

I'm in a wave.

The race had just started in fast-paced mode, and the tension was beyond many people's expectations.

"Judging from the past time, the two sides are not conservative at all, the game is very fast-paced and the passing speed is very fast!"

"Liverpool, Newcastle come to United ......"

'We can all expect it to be a fast-paced shootout!'

“……”

In the process of the two sides attacking each other, Zhen Shaolong didn't even touch the ball once, his running in the front court was incomprehensible, and he didn't get close to the football, but a little far away, and Newcastle United's teammates didn't take the initiative to pass the ball.

In the past eight minutes of the game, Zhen Shaolong's number of touches was still zero.

Zhen Shaolong couldn't even touch the ball for a long time, and he was immediately noticed by many people, and the game commentator said, "What's wrong with Zhen Shaolong?" He hasn't touched the ball yet...... Not a single one. ”

"He's also in a weird position, is it to attract the defence? Or is it simply a tactic set up by Keegan to let Zhen Shaolong help attract attention? ”

"We noticed that he didn't seem to have any intention of cooperating with the others......"

Zhen Shaolong feels very good.

Although he didn't even touch the ball, he recalled the feeling of playing for St. Pauli, when he couldn't fit into the tactical system, just a 'transparent striker' who looked for opportunities to score goals.

It's pretty much the same now.

His teammates didn't take the initiative to pass the ball, and he 'deliberately' didn't understand how to cooperate, running away from the football position, and being closely marked by the opponent, so it was impossible to get the ball at all.

It's all too familiar!

Zhen Shaolong suddenly had a feeling of 'very good condition', without any comfortable framework, and without thinking about the overall offense and defense, he felt very free, "being a transparent forward...... That's pretty good! ”

When Zhen Shaolong looked back on his past feelings, the game on the field was very intense, and Liverpool and Newcastle United really fought against each other.

Liverpool are even better.

In the ninth minute, Liverpool found a good opportunity, Gerrard's long-range shot was blocked by Jean with his body, Xavi Alonso followed up with a push pass, Torres found a chance on the right side of the penalty area, and aimed at the goal with a powerful shot.

"Shoot—"

"Off!"

Accompanied by the shouts of the commentators of the game, there were sighs from the surrounding stands, and many fans regretted not scoring a goal, but they still applauded vigorously because they were only close to completing the goal.

It's just the start of the game, there are plenty of chances, and with the form Torres has shown, it's only a matter of time before he scores.
