280 Have You Ever Regretted (M)
"Mr. Williams, welcome to the League Cup."
In the VIP seats, David. Morse very graciously congratulated Williams.
"Thank you, Chairman Morse."
Although the two are not very familiar, they will see each other often. Because Williams, two years ago, was already fully representing Jack. Walker conducts the activity. But the relationship between the two is nothing more than a polite relationship.
Williams actually secretly thanked David in his heart. Morse's.
If it weren't for David. Morse rejected George, with Liverpool's fame, and Blackburn had nothing to fight with. If you want money, the Morse family is not short of money at all, it is Jack. Walker can't compare.
Fame, Liverpool is the number one giant in England. Even if it is placed in European football, it is the top giant.
It can be said that Blackburn Rovers are not qualified to fight Liverpool at all.
If that's the case, Blackburn won't get George either. So Williams was thankful that Liverpool had rejected George at the time.
"I'm sure Liverpool will be back on the rise soon."
Although the Blackburn Evening News and the Liverpool Echo fought every day, it did not affect the relationship between the two clubs, Blackburn and Liverpool.
"I've borrowed your good words."
………… In the referee's whistle, this eye-catching strong conversation finally began.
In the nineties of the twentieth century, Liverpool produced a lot of technical players in their academy. A group of players led by Redknapp, McManaman, and Fowler, their technical surname play is also unique in English football.
Liverpool's youth academy at that time was also well-known in English football.
It's a pity that those of them ran into Manchester United's 92 generation.
Manchester United's 92 generation shocked the world football world, while Liverpool's academy players could only withdraw from the stage of history in disgrace. Liverpool's unique technical style of play has gradually disappeared. In fact, there are many players with outstanding skills in Liverpool now.
Smitchell, Borg and Bambi are all very technical players. Of course, Redknapp is still in the team.
However, as Houllier focused on Hamann and Gerrard, the original technical style of play gradually disappeared into Liverpool. They're more of a combination of one high and one fast. Relying on Husky's amazing physicality and explosiveness, he grabbed the ball. And Owen relied on his sheer speed to break down the opponent's defense.
The combination of the two of them complements each other's strengths and weaknesses. It's powerful.
Liverpool's midfield is more about tackling the ball, especially with Hamann and Steven Gerrard both being good defenders. Harman dragged behind, and Gerald swept away. Then the two wings of Borg and Bambi passed the ball to Heskey in front.
As soon as the game began, it entered a fierce hand-to-hand combat.
George and Houllier have both been in the Premier League for two seasons. It can be regarded as knowing the roots, and there is no so-called temptation at all. The race started at high speed.
Liverpool are all about being fast, and their speed is about passing the ball. Most of it was given to Husky with a long pass, and Husky was sent to Henning. Berg. The current Husky is young, brave and explosive, and the Husky, who is 1.9 meters tall, specializes in playing Henning. Berg's side.
HENNING. Berg is a bit old. Against Husky, who is incredibly physical, the defense is very awkward.
"Husky...... Leaned on Berg, shot! The kick is off. It's a shame that this is a distance of less than twelve meters, and it was kicked away by Husky. Husky's shot was really not flattering. Morteson laughed when he saw Husky kick the ball away.
"However, Blackburn's defence is also very problematic. HENNING. Berg was too embarrassed to face Husky. ”
And George on the sidelines saw Husky leaning on Henning. Berg burst in and then shot at goal, startled. Husky, George, has never paid attention to players, and his physical fitness is too good. However, it was also fortunate that Husky's shot was too poor, otherwise Cudicini would not have had time to react.
George stood up. George could already see what Hollier was thinking.
George turned out to be thinking of Henning. Berg is a veteran and familiar with the pace of the Premier League, which is why he was put on the pitch. Didn't think of Henning. Berg's form has dropped so quickly. Now Henning. Berg is only thirty-one years old, but he is in average condition.
It turned out to be eaten hard by Husky like this.
After Liverpool is like watching ready for Henning. Berg is the same. And Ferdinand, who was next to him, couldn't support Henning because he had to watch Owen. Berg.
"Husky, top up to the left...... Borg shoots ...... Knocked out by Cudicini. ”
"Husky...... Pressing Henning. Berg flicked his header just wide of the post. ”
George kept an eye on the situation on the field. HENNING. Berg: There are just too many questions about this. George is a decisive coach. Immediately called Panucci, who had already warmed up.
"Christian, you watch. Husky is explosive and physical. In fact, the technique is average, and the shooting is also poor. When you go up, greet him well. Let him know that it is useless to have a body alone. ”
George kept Panucci on the bench, mainly because Panucci was not comfortable with the pace of the Premier League. There will always be a feeling of slow half a beat so want to make Henning. Berg, a Premier League veteran, takes the pitch. It's a pity that in the face of the strong Husky, the performance was too disappointing for George.
In the face of a striker like Husky, George thinks that a defender like Panucci, who has mixed in Serie A, should have a solution.
After only eighteen minutes of play, George replaced Henning with Panucci. Berg.
When Panucci came on the pitch, his main task was to keep an eye on Husky. Husky is in good shape, and even after Panucci comes on the court, it is impossible to completely use his body to fight. Good thing that Panucci's body is better than Henning. Berg is excellent, and his awareness and defensive movements are among the best in the world.
Panucci is on loan at Blackburn Rovers, but he was one of the best defenders in the world. So there is a way to deal with the Husky.
Although it could not completely prevent Husky from rushing left and right, it at least contained Husky.
After containing Husky, Blackburn's midfield began to press Liverpool.
Liverpool's midfielders Hamann and Steven Gerrard are both defensive midfielders. Gerrard has yet to develop into the attacking and defensive midfielder he would be. It's just that Hamann and Gerrard's defense is good, so Blackburn's attack is not placed in the middle to break through.
Instead, it was placed on two flanks. Liverpool's two wings are the biggest holes. The right side of Carragher's guard, and the left side of Zigger's guard.
Needless to say, although it is a Liverpool academy, there is indeed a big problem with the wide defense. As for Ziggy, this one is a big name. For a while, he was even known as a left-back alongside Maldini.
It's a pity that that was Ziggy a few years ago. As for the current Ziggy...... The first 20 minutes were your attacks, which is the so-called coming and not being rude.
Blackburn's offense was also a lot simpler. It's no longer the midfielders trying to control the ball, it's the midfielders who get the ball and break up very quickly. As for Deco, he is more of a central midfielder who rushes forward, cruising behind Klose and ready to attack at any time.
Blackburn's midfield control was mostly handed over to McAllister, with Hargreaves behind him.
McAllister didn't show any fatigue in such a strong conversation.
“…… McAllister, Gerrard came over to defend. McAllister, with a gentle smash, smashes past Gerrard. ”
"McAllister, long pass...... Bellamy, the ball was accurately passed to the right. Mortenson exclaimed.
Because McAllister's pass was forty meters away. However, it was accurately passed to the middle of Bellamy and Ziggy, which was very beneficial for Bellamy's next move. Bellamy and Ziegy were ready to steal the ball together, but Bellamy's speed was perverted.
Bellamy poked the ball before Ziggy and then accelerated past Ziggy.
"Bellamy, it's completely flat up ahead. How would Bellamy's choose? ”
After Bellamy passed Zig, he went straight into the box. The running route is towards the Liverpool gate. However, Hyypia held the inside line and did not let Bellamy in. Hyypia and Bellamy have been teammates for two years and know Bellamy's speed very well.
Of course, he knew Bellamy's temper better. It's a good position, no matter the angle, he's going to shoot.
That's why Hyypia will defend the inside line and not give Bellamy a big angle to shoot. From this angle, Hyypia believes that Bellamy will not be able to score in. But he underestimated Bellamy.
Bellamy thought of George's words. Bellamy knew that George's endurance was limited, and if he continued to work hard, George could really let him squat on the bench for a season and drink coffee. So Bellamy didn't shoot hard, but passed into the box.
'Bellamy, pass into the box. The ball is fast...... The ball is in! Who scored it? ”
Because Bellamy's pass was too fast. And there were a lot of feet on the same foot, so for a moment Mortensen didn't know how the ball went in.
But then came the replay, and this time Mortenson saw it clearly. "It's Carragher, it's Carragher who touched the ball, it's Carragher's own goal. Blackburn took a 1-0 home lead thanks to Carragher's own goal. ”
'The most important thing in this goal was McAllister's pass in midfield. Lineker doesn't talk a lot.
"Yes, McAllister. A thirty-five-year-old veteran, he is a free agent in the summer. At that time, he was interested in George and Hollier. George gave McAllister a two-year contract at the time, snatching McAllister out of Hollier's nose. ”
"A lot of people questioned George giving such a veteran a two-year contract. But looking at McAllister's performance of shaking off Steven Gerrard and then making an accurate long pass, who can question the transfer. I'm sure Houllier will regret not being able to stick with McAllister on the field. ”
