Chapter 201: The Last Free Kick
Although he doesn't have quick reactions, he shocks us again and again with unpretentious saves! Simplicity and stability have always been synonymous with Tafarel, and while he is not flamboyant, he rarely makes mistakes. ”
But this time Tafarel can be said to be ruined, the 105-meter-long Elland Road Stadium can be said to be the largest stadium in the FIFA regulations, and Kenny's shocking shot from nearly 50 meters away is almost a foot in the midfield! The unsuspecting and high-pitched Tafarel became the backdrop for the late Italian star! ”
"It's a comeback from Italy, who a few years ago kept Italy out of the championship for Brazil, and Keni is now giving him back the pain! Keni's goal can be said to be an exact replica of Haji's lob shot against Colombia in the '94 World Cup, and we can even see in slow motion that he also used his left foot, and the goal was nearly ten meters away!
It's just crazy, it's incredible! As early as Bayer Leverkusen against Real Madrid, Kani had such an amazing performance, but that time he used his right foot, and this time it was his left foot! Amazing progressiveness, and even in the post-match analysis and video, we saw Kenny make more than a dozen passes with his left foot in the second half of the second half! It's an incredible improvement, from the previous pass error but then the success he even took only ten minutes, how the hell did he do it? ”

Chapter 313: New Reinforcements Arrive
After the game, Keni became the most eye-catching player of the game in a media exclamation, and everyone was incredulous for his hanging shot, but in this case, Galatasaray FC was naturally unwilling, and in the post-match press conference, Galatasaray coach expressed great dissatisfaction with Keni's goal.
'I don't understand why Leeds United's goal worked, it was very clear at the time, Dawala's shot was bounced off the post and players on both sides were scrambling in the Leeds penalty area, and in the confusion my player Mario Jadel fell to the grass and why did the referee turn a blind eye to it? At the time of this scene, several of our players had already signaled to him, but what did the referee do? ”
'He still didn't make any decisions, he watched Leeds take possession and pass to Kearney and shoot, and I think the video will tell you all, but I believe that when a player falls to the ground during a game, whether it's for sportsmanship or whatever, the game should be stopped for a while, not ignored by the injured. It's hard for me to see the fairness of the game as a referee, okay, that's it. ”
It's not fair? No sportsmanship?
When the Galatasaray coach left the scene without accepting more questions from reporters, the reporters fell into a discussion, some agreed, some dismissed, and of course, the most important thing is to watch the excitement is not a big deal. The next day's press and reports also said it all, in the face of such a situation, most of the media believed that when Galatasaray player Jadel fell to the ground, the referee had reason to make his own judgment, once he thought that Jadel was faking a fall or wanted to use such a small trick to help the team's advantage, then the referee could continue to play and ignore it.
This is rightfully the power that the referee should have.
On the other side, Leeds United learned of the news, except for the club's spokesperson who stood up and sang the same game, the rest of the players and manager O'Reilly did not have the heart to argue with them, because they not only had to devote themselves to the intense and intensive league schedule, but also needed to run in with a new player to cope with the challenges in the league.
In December 2001, after scoring 171 goals in 330 games for Liverpool, the former Prince of Anfield, who was affectionately known as God's genius killer by Liverpool fans, finally took off the red shirt that brought him countless glory and officially transferred to Leeds United for 11 million pounds. Although his personal treatment has not yet been exposed, people know that judging from his strength and fame, his personal treatment must be raised to the top level of the Premier League under this transfer fee.
For such a situation, to be honest, the players in Leeds United are a little dissatisfied, although in the Premier League you can say that Fowler's name is known to everyone, and he was once a representative of the Premier League, but now he joined Leeds United as a Liverpool abandoner, although he did not say it explicitly, but everyone knows that it is definitely the highest salary, so although he agrees with all this, he still has some mustard in his heart. As the head teacher of the team, O'Reilly knew what they were thinking when he saw these goods, but he didn't take the initiative to help Fowler solve it, because he had to think that if Fowler couldn't even solve these small problems, then he wouldn't be worthy of this treatment.
Fowler was quick to respond.
On December 9, in the sixteenth round of the Premier League, Leeds United challenged Blackburn Rovers away.
Founded in 1875, Violent Ben was a founding member of the Football League in 1888, and it is worth mentioning that Blackburn Rovers were arguably the first big clubs in the world of English football, especially in that era. Blackburn was founded in 1875 on the initiative of two former Schusebury State School students, John Lewis and Arthur Constantine, so because some of the founding members were not rich or expensive, and because of their extensive network of contacts, Blackburn could stand out from the many teams formed at the same time.
As early as 1880, Blackburn Rovers were in controversy for violating Lancashire Football Union principles by using non-Blackburn players as substitutes in the absence of members. And when a player named Suda switched from Darwin to Blackburn Rovers that season, causing an uproar about the professionalism of the player, Darwin accused Blackburn of offering a large salary to lure Suda to transfer, which is almost a typical example of the early high salary luring players to join.
Even this incident led to the blurring of the distinction between amateur and professional football, which led to the creation of the professional football law five years later.
At the beginning of the Premier League era, Blackburn Rovers continued their homegrown identity, falling into the second division when they were bought by local steelworks owner and lifelong supporter Jiqi, who spent millions of pounds on the team's acquisition of new players in the 1990-91 season, which made Blackburn make headlines for his money-spilling for a record £3.5 million for Southampton and England's 22-year-old striker Alan Shearer. Then he bought the 21-year-old striker Keith Thurton from Norwich City for a record £5 million to form a golden partnership with Alan Shearer.
In the end, all kinds of high investment made the steel factory tycoon buy Blackburn Rovers in just five years, and a team struggling in Group B became the new Premier League leader, giving a great shock and shock to the British football world. And now after 2000, although Blackburn's capital power has gradually entered a barren state, but as the saying goes, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and they are still a strong team with many good players, not to mention that they will win the English League Cup this season in history.
Therefore, for Leeds United, whose ultimate goal is to compete for the title, a team like Blackburn Rovers is something they must not take lightly, and coupled with Blackburn's tough style of play, focus on scrambling, strong style of play and good at long passing, it is called "violent Ben", which is a strong opponent in any way.
The course of events when the game started proved what had been speculated, and with their rough and unreasonable style of play, Blackburn rubbed Leeds United hard at home. Although the young players of Leeds United also gritted their teeth, they were still inferior to these big brothers, and Blackburn, who had taken advantage of the position, scored in the 18th minute.
Seeing this scene, O'Reilly was worried, and sure enough, as he expected, although it was only a two-front battle, this intensity was enough to make Leeds United difficult to parry. He couldn't have sent too many rotation players to affect the overall strength of the team, and the likes of Viduka were tired with little rest. However, the good news is that striker Bridges, who has been plagued by injuries, is recovering well and is expected to be back soon, as long as he can catch up with the intensive schedule around the New Year, then Kenny and others can breathe a good sigh of relief.
It's just that the current situation can't be allowed to deteriorate, and it is necessary to make changes despite the changes, it stands to reason that the central defender partnership formed by Woodgate and Matteo is also strong enough, but Buck and others on the side are still suppressed a little bit.
This is also the main reason for O'Reilly's worries, you say let Ferdinand, Hart and these players take a rest, and Buck has a few players who can't meet the standards for playing tough games, if they are replaced now, then what's the point of their own rotation? The next Champions League game against Roma will not be an easy task, and the Serie A champions are scary to think about.
However, it was at this time that Fowler, who formed a two-man strike with Kenny, came out in this game, and he showed the value of his top salary in the team on his Leeds United debut. Just 30 minutes into the second half, Fowler, who had already adapted to Leeds United's style of play, received a pass from Barty and relied on his own ability to connect two Blackburn defenders, and then passed to Kearney on the other side after a false kick, causing the Blackburn goalkeeper to misjudge. Keni didn't miss the opportunity, as he scored his seventh league goal with a slick shot in the face of an empty goal.
“goal!!!! Lloriskeni, our White Lightnings best no.9, scored his seventh league goal and his fifteenth goal for Leeds United in all competitions! It's a terrifying goal statistic, if you look at the total data, Kenny is now the team's well-deserved top scorer, and he also used this goal to send himself to the fourth place in the scorer list. ”
"Kenny hugged Fowler and the team-mates who followed him, and the combination of beautiful goals, sharp counter-attacks, flashy dribbling allowed Leeds to equalise at the start of the second half! It's really an unstoppable offense, and it's so beautiful! ”
The Leeds United fans in the stands were also cheering, and when Kenny first joined the team, many people questioned why they would give Kenny the absolute firepower and the number nine of the centre, but now everything is right for manager O'Reilly when he took a fancy to Kenny. He proved himself with no less impressive number of goals, so it seems that the Golden Boot of the season is not impossible! What a surprising player! ”
"Of course, we can't forget Robbie Fowler, who provided this exquisite assist for Kenny, this is the god Leeds United debut, and at the moment it is undoubtedly an unquestionable performance, and the two of them deceived the goalkeeper to provide the assist for Kenny. His strength and team spirit were perfectly reflected at this moment! This Leeds United team is truly full of hope for them! ”

Chapter 314: Take Me Fly
While everyone at Leeds was cheered by Kenny's goal, Fowler put on a solo show after the game restarted.
Just two minutes later, Fowler and Kenny collided with the wall on the right side of the half, which allowed Fowler to get past Blackburn's only midfielder after rereceiving the ball, and then faced as many as three defenders in the Brakburn penalty area, Fowler moved left and right in a small area to not only hold the ball firmly at his feet, but also managed to rush out of Blackburn's encirclement, and fired a blast into the top corner of the fan, leaving the Blackburn goalkeeper unable to make an effective save.
Leeds United leads 2-1!
“hat a goal!!! What a wonderful goal and individual performance, Robbie Fowler is such a strong player, it's hard to imagine that he can be so comfortable in such a small area, and the last time I saw it in Leeds United, only Kanie could have done it! There is no doubt that new signing Fowler was the biggest highlight in this game, and O'Reilly's two-striker combination gave Leeds a huge impact! ”
"Kenny's partnership with Fowler has amazing chemistry!"
"Who can believe that a player like Fowler would be on the bench at Liverpool and beg God to dispel the darkness that had clouded Houllier's eyes and let him see what a bad decision he made! Now Liverpool has rarely seen a wonderful goal like Fowler after flashing left and right, more of a straight plug and long pass in one go, relying on speed to score a goal! ”
"While we admit that Liverpool achieved an amazing five crowns last season by cutting out the best players in such a simple and effective way, it is important to face that many teams have set up accordingly this season! Although Liverpool are still at the top of the table and have won six in a row, I think if they continue to play like this, sooner or later they will face a real enemy! ”
"Robbie Fowler, he made a pass on his debut! And now that there is still a long way to go, what kind of visual impact will he bring us!? His combination with Kenny, one slow and one fast, one flashy and one sharp, is a match made in heaven, just like he did with Owen at Liverpool! But O'Reilly is not Houllier, he has achieved coexistence! ”
Although the commentators in the stands were extremely touted at this moment, allowing Kenny to really see what the superstar effect is when he watched the replay after the game, Kenny in the game knew better than anyone that although he and Fowler made several wonderful combinations during the game, this was not due to tacit understanding, but simply the ball quotient decided their own approach, and they still have a long way to go to achieve a real tacit understanding, at least they have to be able to have fun together!

"What the hell am I doing here!?" When Bowyer, the little prince of the nightclub, stood in the middle of the private room with a microphone and sang the song, Kenny, who was sitting playing a game with Alan Smith, squirted out a sip of beer and looked at the football camera that kept flashing on the screen, and he looked at Alain with a blank expression
