George made no other changes in the second half. As long as Owen honestly returns to the penalty area, then his strength will be greatly reduced. Owen is not the kind of striker who grabs points, and what Owen is most afraid of is giving him a certain amount of space to take the ball, pass through, and finally shoot or pass.

So George just gave Hargreaves a little more instructions, as long as he made sure that he wouldn't let Owen do whatever he wanted. George is not afraid of the current Liverpool midfielder.

Houllier has just entered Liverpool, so he has not yet completed the squad that belongs to him. After this season, Houllier will have a major makeover for Liverpool. At that time, most of these players in Liverpool's midfield will be thrown into the transfer market by Houllier.

'Hargreaves came on and did really well. He has speed, he has his body, and he is ruthless defensively. I can't tell that it's a seventeen-year-old player. The future of this youngster must be bright. ”

"England should be in the youth team and Hargreaves can play for England, Wales and Canada. Such good seedlings should remain in England. ”

Although the performance lasted only about 20 minutes, the narrator was very impressed by Hargreaves' performance. Irving, who is active in the middle, has not been as active as before since Hargreaves came on.

Although Owen is young, there are really few people who can force Owen to change the direction of the breakthrough in the Premier League.

And Hargreaves is young, it will take more than two months to become eighteen. So it seems that Hargreaves is a talented player and a lot of quality. Such a good player really shouldn't give up.

Indeed, at the beginning of the second half, Owen was still Liverpool's biggest threat. But it was much less of a threat than in the first half. Irving's threat dropped and Blackburn's defense was finally able to breathe.

That's how things are in the world. Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.

Liverpool's attack was no longer as sharp as it was in the first half, and it was Blackburn's side that followed the counter-attack. When George formed Blackburn, he placed more emphasis on offense than on defense. As a result, Blackburn Rovers are still a team that is stronger in attack than in defense.

Blackburn's offense is characteristic, with Miku controlling most of the offense. The two wings, Pire and Duff, will constantly switch positions to put pressure on Liverpool's two wings. Klose, on the other hand, is definitely not the kind of centre-forward who stands on the bench, he has a very wide range of movements.

In positional battles, Klose will sometimes press up to suppress the opponent's back line. This will give Miku and Deco plenty of space to shoot from distance. Or run around the front to drive the opposition's centre-backs.

But when it comes to counter-attacking, Klose rarely presses forward. Instead, he dropped back to get the ball, giving Pire and Duff more space on the flanks to counter-attack.

Although Klose is a little lacking in strength now, it is precisely because of his tactical ability that he is very in line with George's style of play. That's why George is so important to Klose.

And Blackburn's counterattack was very layered, wave after wave. After conceding the ball, he directly counter-robbed in the front court. For the second point of control, George is very serious. Only when the second point is controlled, the attack will be like a wave, wave after wave.

This kind of attack is very possible because Blackburn have assist-oriented full-backs like Van Bronckhorst and Sagnol, as well as strong midfielders like Deco.

'During this time, Liverpool have come under a lot of pressure from Blackburn. George was right to replace Makelele with Hargreaves. ”

Although the attack was fierce, George was very anxious on the sidelines. If you can't score a goal, no matter how much you have the ball and how many shots you have, it's useless.

Blackburn's results have been very good during this period and George will be hoping to continue that performance. The best thing to do is to be able to beat an English giant like Liverpool at Anfield. Of course, George also has a little selfishness, just wanting to win Liverpool at Liverpool's home game.

It was given to David. After Morse was embarrassed, George turned around and regretted it. After all, the opposite is Liverpool, which is Liverpool, the number one giant in England. So George was a little lost in his heart and wanted to give David at Anfield. Morse looks at his own strength. Missing yourself is David. One of the biggest failures Morse has ever done.

"Let Kevin warm up." Blackburn Rovers was on the bench and the offensive line was in addition to David. Dunn and Kevin. Gallagher.

At this time, George prefers to believe Kevin. A veteran like Gallaher.

However, George's side has not yet made a choice, and Houllier has made a change first. No. 17 replaces No. 9.

A slightly shy young man on the sidelines, standing on the sidelines waiting to play.

"No. 17, this is a young player that Liverpool has developed themselves. On May 30, 1980, he was a young player who had just passed the age of eighteen. It was his first time playing for the first team, and Coach Houllier was a new man in such a difficult game. Young players who haven't played any games in the first team. ”

"I'm not in favor of having a rookie in a game like this. Let's take a look at what he has to make Houllier so important. The player's name is Steven. Gerrard. ”

Yes, the owner of such an ordinary number as No. 17 is the later Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.

Steven Gerrard has arrived in the first team this season, and Owen, who is a year older than Gerrard, has already made a name for himself in England and around the world. However, Steven Gerrard is currently a substitute at Liverpool and has never played for the first team so far.

It was Gerrard's first competitive appearance, replaced by Liverpool Fowler.

"Gerald? Eighteen years old? It was the first time to represent the first team. Evan looked for Gerald's information next to him, and handed George Gerald's information to him.

George shook his head and pushed the information away. A player like Steven Gerrard who hasn't shown himself in the first team yet, even if he has information, it's just ordinary information. Others are not good to say, the famous Gerard George does not need information yet.

Gerrard, how exactly does Houllier want to fight? At this time, Gerrard didn't have the majestic ability that he later had, just a fledgling defensive midfielder.

"I don't need that information, I know Gerrard. It would be nice if it could be brought to our club. 'It's an extravagant hope, but a player like Steven Gerrard doesn't want any club.

George now needs to take a look at Gerrard's position, but it looks like he's just standing in a midfield position.

George nodded, it turned out that Houllier's idea was just to strengthen the defense. Leaving Owen alone in front to counter-attack, Gerrard used plenty of stamina and incredible speed to sweep through the midfield.

Steven Gerrard's body is good, harassing Miku and Deco in midfield. It made both of them impatient. It's really because Gerrard is fast and in good health, and it makes people very uncomfortable when he rushes.

George despised Houllier, and it was a shame for the wealthy. At his home turf, he didn't even think about how to attack and win, but instead replaced a striker and a midfielder. Cut, despise you. Now there are more than twenty minutes left in the game.

If other people hear this, they must be spraying George, how can you take it for granted when you kid plays shameless defense by himself.

However, George really wants Liverpool's defence to move forward a little bit, which is very beneficial for Blackburn's current style of play. Pity!

George looked at the situation on the pitch and found that Miku was not doing too well under pressure from the Liverpool midfield. And Liverpool is stacked in the middle, and it is difficult to pass in. So with Kevin. Gallacher replaces Miku.

George simply gave up on attacking in the middle and let Deco organize the attack. Instead of letting Deco break through the defense in the middle, he asked him to send the ball to Pire and Duff on either side. Or should a gap be opened from both wings.

After that, Blackburn's style of play was much simpler, which was to give it to the two wings. Let Pire and Duff create crosses with their individual abilities. Then let Klose and Gallacher take their chances in the middle of the box.

"Duff, cross...... Klose header ...... James! A world-class save that James used to make up for a mistake in the first half. ”

Kevin. Gallagher! Supplementary ...... It's James again...... Pretty! ”

"I've heard that Houllier is not very happy with the current Liverpool midfield. Indeed, the Liverpool midfielder was completely underdog in this game. ”

Looking at the good situation on the court, George was not willing to take only three points. So he made a gesture of pressing and hoping to win the game. But it never broke through the door of Liverpool, and George sat there a little, a little anxious.

Unable to attack for a long time, George frowned tightly. On several occasions Blackburn Rovers came close to scoring.

James, the nerve knife, made a low-level mistake in the first half. In the second half, it was like a doping, all kinds of saves. George patted his head, really couldn't understand an England goalkeeper like James.

Towards the end of the game, it was still Blackburn's siege of Liverpool.

Another cross and James picked the ball. Then it was quickly handed to Borg in the middle, and Borg passed to Owen in front.

Owen didn't delay, because Hargreaves in the back posted up. This man was like a dog skin plaster, making it impossible for Owen to do anything. So Owen got to the feet of McManaman next to him.

McManaman, who was suppressed throughout the game, did not force a break in the face of Sagnol, but walked along the sideline. Sagnol didn't stop him, just held his position, because there is only one striker in the box now, Owen. Sagnol is not afraid of McManaman's crosses, as long as he doesn't let him burst into the box, there is no problem.

McManaman didn't have any intention of getting into the box, just shook an angle and crossed inside.

McManaman's cross...... Who's this? Number 17, this is Gerrard! ”
