While Fernando Torres was determined to work hard to finish the net and help his side beat Newcastle United, Michael Owen was doing the same in the Anfield dressing room -

"Come on, Michael! You are the best! ”

"You're going to score a goal!"

"You're going to do well! Seize the opportunity! ”

Owen kept cheering himself up.

Owen's mentality is different from Torres, Torres hopes to score more to help the team win, only by beating Newcastle United, Liverpool can occupy the top of the standings, in order to gain an advantage in the league competition, the game is directly related to the league championship trophy, Owen hopes more that he can score, can perform better, for the whole form of the game, he feels that there is no need to worry about winning at all, because there is 'the other party can't defend' Zhen Shaolong, he doesn't have to think about winning at all.

This may also be the benefit of being on the same team as Zhen Shaolong.

Team wins and loses?

Overall situation?

Owen doesn't have to think about it at all, and others rarely think about it, what are you afraid of with Zhen Shaolong, anyway, Zhen Shaolong always scores, as long as he plays a good game.

If Zhen Shaolong plays, there is still no way to defeat the opponent......

Then there is no way!

It is better to let Keegan shoulder the pressure of winning and losing, and it is naturally the responsibility of the head coach to lose.

Keegan doesn't know what the vast majority of players think.

Of course.

Even if Keegan knew, it didn't matter, the players were right, and doing their job well in the game would depend on the manager's arrangement and the performance of the core stars.

No matter what the team is, the results, the wins and losses will be considered by the manager.

That's what a manager does.

At half-time, Keegan did not adjust the tactics, mainly because the score was good, the situation was indeed very stressful, Liverpool continued to get chances, but they failed to score in the end, he couldn't help but think, "Is it because the tactics are surprising, affecting the goalmouth performance of Liverpool's midfield?" ”

The connection is too far-fetched.

Keegan simply didn't think too much about it, and when the score was not too much of a problem, it must have been better to stick to the tactics, he only talked about some defensive problems in the first half, giving Liverpool so many chances, and there were indeed problems in defensive running.

————

In the anticipation of many fans, the second half of the game was restarted.

There was something to pay attention to at the beginning of the game - Zhen Shaolong did not touch the ball at the tee-off.

Most of Newcastle United's kick-offs were kicked by Zhen Shaolong to Owen and asked Owen to pass, but this time it was Owen who kicked off and simply kicked it to the back.

Zhen Shaolong rushed directly to the front.

This kick-off was nothing, but it still attracted the attention of the heart, and the game commentator was one of them, "Zhen Shaolong only touched the ball twice in the first half, but completed two goals. ”

"Now that the kick-off doesn't mean to touch the ball, is he hoping to brush up on the goal percentage? Want to score with every touch? ”

This statement has fans looking forward to it.

If Zhen Shaolong can score a goal every time he touches the ball, it will be really remarkable, and the game will become special.

Next, Zhen Shaolong didn't touch the ball for a long time, because he was in the state of 'transparent person' for a long time, he was about to be forgotten by the media and fans, and the camera occasionally pointed over, but he immediately turned the camera into a fierce confrontation.

The two players on the pitch continue to be the ones who are in the spotlight – Fernando Torres and Irving.

Torres was very active, constantly interspersing and running up front, occasionally even playing a playmaking role, rushing forward to look for opportunities, and two good dribbles in the middle, showing off his skills always caused the fans to shout.

Owen had fewer chances, but he was the brightest player in Newcastle's attack, sprinting forward every time he got the ball, and once used his superb foot skills to break through two Liverpool defenders in a row and almost create a one-on-one chance.

Compared with.

Zhen Shaolong is very low-key.

Because of the words of the game commentator, many fans noticed Zhen Shaolong's touch of the ball, and it is a pity that he failed to adhere to the record of 'touching the ball and scoring goals'.

It was the fifty-seventh minute.

Zhen Shaolong's touch of the ball was a little unavoidable, he had tried to stay away from the fierce area, the role was to help Owen attract the defense, but he didn't know what was going on, and when he turned his head again, the football was 'spelled' to his feet.

"Bumping the ball?"

"Don't touch the ball?"

Mascherano didn't even go over to grab it, because the football was too close to Zhen Shaolong, and it was impossible for him to grab it one step in advance, but Zhen Shaolong was also stunned for a moment, and then felt that it was a little strange not to take the ball, so he still directly controlled the ball.

Don't be too sorry to have the chance!

Zhen Shaolong simply launched "Attack", wanting to get rid of Mascherano in an instant, but Mascherano's reaction was very fast, and he squeezed him as soon as possible.

The Assault effect disappears.

It's depressing!

What a mistake!

Zhen Shaolong sighed, and found that he had no chance at all, so he still pushed the ball to his teammates, and then his performance was a little muddy...... No, to put it bluntly, he decided not to touch the ball for ten minutes.

For Zhen Shaolong, beating Liverpool is the most important, but his performance doesn't matter.

He is not short of goals.

Even if there is no performance in a game, the outside world will not criticize him, because it is normal for his state to go up and down, and occasionally he does not score in a game, which is also within the normal range.

What's more, he's already scored two goals.

Even if the MVP is selected at the end of the game, he will definitely be elected without suspense, because the most important thing for a forward player is to score goals, and he must be the best performer when he scores two goals.

For a long time afterward, Zhen Shaolong was forgotten again.

Liverpool continue their impressive performances.

Stars such as Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard and Kuyt are constantly looking for opportunities to shoot near the penalty area and even in front of goal.

Newcastle United's counter-attack also played well, perhaps because the lead gave the players confidence, and everyone showed good form, pushing forward and counter-attacking and putting a lot of pressure on the Liverpool defence.

This state of play lasted twenty minutes.

For 20 minutes, it seemed like a goal could have been scored every minute, but after all the time passed, the score was still 2-0 and no player had scored.

As time passed, Liverpool fans were disappointed.

It's too much!

Liverpool on the field is like this now, obviously playing a lot of opportunities, but most of them fell on the goal, and the midfield passed with the play of the sky, and it was completely impossible to reach the goal.

Newcastle United were similar, with Owen and Geremy both getting shots on goal but still failing to get the ball in.

In the 79th minute of the game, a decisive goal came --

Zhen Shaolong!

Zhen Shaolong has not touched the ball for a long time, and he is almost forgotten by the fans, but the players on the field have not forgotten him, but Liverpool is obsessed with strengthening the attack, and he is a little slack in defense against him who has not touched the ball for a long time.

And then.

Zhen Shaolong found an opportunity.

It was on a cross from the bottom line that Milner rushed to the front and was ready to pass the ball in front of goal.

Zhen Shaolong ran in the direction of Milner.

His running route was a little bizarre, as if he was going to pick up Milner, and Mascherano couldn't react immediately and had to chase after him.

Milner passes.

This pass was not a cross in front of the goal, but a direct reverse push to Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong received the ball close to the bottom line, staggered Mascherano behind him, and took a step towards the goal in reverse.

One-step.

Enough is enough!

Zhen Shaolong rushed in front of the rushing goalkeeper Reina, and gently touched the ball with his toes.

"Nirvana" triggers!

The ball sped into the bottom corner of the goal.

"Three-to-0 ......"

The tone of the game commentator shouting out the goal was full of wry smiles, and he was a little sympathetic to Liverpool and the other players on the field, "It's Zhen Shaolong again!" If I'm not mistaken, he had his fourth touch of the game, scored three goals with four touches, and scored a hat-trick that no one can beat......

"Compared to Zhen Shaolong's performance, others, especially Torres and Owen, ......"

"It's all a little sad!"

The game commentator used the word 'sad' to describe the two people, and the fans in front of the TV were deeply touched.

The whole stadium was watching Torres and Irving, the two were the shining points of the two teams, and they shone for a long time, failing to score even a goal, and every time they shined, it seemed to become a joke.

What about Zhen Shaolong?

He spent most of the game on the sidelines, seemingly too lazy to run, and scored three goals in four touches.

What does this say?

When the camera lens was focused on Torres and Irving, the fans in front of the TV found that the expressions of the two were almost the same, with helplessness and loss on their faces.

Torres was disappointed that there was no goal, and Liverpool were three goals behind and had no chance to pursue it.

Owen is more disappointed in himself.

Such a good opportunity in this game, his teammates took the initiative to pass the ball to him, he was the first main attacker, and the two sides still played a head-on attack, but they didn't seize the opportunity again and again, and then look at Zhen Shaolong, he completed a hat trick with a few touches.

"You still have to work hard!"

"It seems that it is still not possible to exercise with light horse steps, maybe Wayne's 'mental exercise' can be tried......"

"It's a pity that Zhen didn't teach me the right training method!"

Owen looked at Zhen Shaolong's eyes full of grievance.

Zhen Shaolong......

He didn't feel like he could help it!

Let's be honest.

In this game, he didn't want to perform at all, he just felt that it was enough to seize the opportunity to score one goal, it was best for his teammates to score one or two, and two or three goals were enough to decide the outcome of the game.

What can I do if my teammates don't give you help?

In addition, the luck of the game was also good, the first goal was the "Foreknowledge" effect, the second goal was a set-piece, and the goal just now was a little more active, trying to trigger the "Must Kill" effect.

"It's too lucky, I can't stop it!"

Zhen Shaolong could only lament.
