Mortenson immediately hit Houllier's heart. In the summer, Houllier was indeed a little worried. So I want to give McAllister a one-year contract and look at it. No matter how to say that McAllister is already thirty-five years old, and he will be thirty-six years old in just over three months.

Houllier's caution is justified.

But seeing McAllister's performance now, Hollier has a little regret in his heart.

McAllister's performance wasn't over there, though.

“…… Nick. Bambi, he's fast...... McAllister, he got the ball. ”

McAllister is the quintessential England midfielder. England's midfielders have been playing 4-4-2 since they were young, because their midfielders are the kind of players who can go up and down. Strong running ability, defensive offense can keep up.

McAllister has a lot of experience, although his physical fitness has dropped a lot. But it was still an accurate judgment of Barmsby's breakthrough route, and he stole Barmsby's ball very easily.

McAllister ...... Pass...... Pire! ”

McAllister's mid-length passing is characteristful and accurate. Pire easily stopped the ball and took Carragher in stride.

Carragher is still playing recklessly now, and he doesn't have the composure and experience he had when he was the second captain of Liverpool later. Coupled with the own goal just now, it affected Carragher, so Piret just left Carragher behind with just a small move.

After leaving Carragher behind, Piret made a breakthrough. It went all the way to near the baseline, but suddenly it was passed back to outside the big penalty area.

“…… Deco, he's ready to shoot...... It's not, it's a pass! Klose succeeds in anti-offside! ”

Deco faced the incoming ball and had already picked up his big foot. The Liverpool backline, which pressed up, pressed up again in order to prevent his long-range shot. But Deco just feints to shoot and rubs it gently.

The Liverpool defenders who pressed up didn't expect Deco to have such a kick. The ball floated over their heads, and Klose, who pressed forward with their back line at this time, was very tacitly offside.

In the face of the falling ball, the left foot is directly a volley.

From Deco's pass, to Klose's volley, it's just between the lights and the fire. Westerved was not given the slightest chance to react.

"It's a volley! Westerved, he couldn't help it. 2-0, only 35 minutes into the first half, Blackburn Rovers already led Liverpool 2-0. ”

"Klose, it's horrible. It was already Klose's second league goal of the season and, with the addition of the UEFA Super Cup, Klose has now scored three goals for Blackburn. Three goals in three games, amazing form. ”

"McAllister, I really can't tell it's thirty-five. His defense and scheduling in midfield were too perfect. To get a player like this for free, Blackburn was really lucky. George had a good eye. Mortensen was amazed by McAllister's performance in midfield.

"If it hadn't been for George intercepting it, McAllister would have been a Liverpool player by now. He can teach Gerrard the young player well. It's a pity. ”

Under McAllister's dispatch in the midfield, Blackburn replaced Miku and Makelele, but they still firmly controlled the pace of the game. Hamann is a defensive midfielder and Gerrard has never been a tempo-controlled midfielder.

Gerrard has outstanding physical fitness, strength and speed, and his biggest weapon is the impact after running, whether with or without the ball, once Gerrard rushes up in the danger zone, the lethality is extremely great. and Gerrard's earth-shattering long-range shot, which made Gerrard a world-class midfielder in the future.

It's a pity that the current Houllier has not yet developed Gerald's ability in this area. Think of Gerrard more as a sweeping midfielder, as a defensive midfielder.

Therefore, facing Blackburn's midfield, the Liverpool midfield is very passive.

Houllier's idea was to defend in midfield, highlighting the positions of the two wing-backs. Then playing Husky, the midfielder didn't think about competing with Blackburn. As long as the Blackburn attack doesn't come to the first 30 meters.

But after relinquishing control of the midfield, Liverpool could not control the game.

Blackburn's side focused on attacking Liverpool's two wings, and now Liverpool's two wings are obviously unable to withstand Blackburn's wide attacks. Piret is almost a bit right to Carragher, and Bellamy doesn't talk nonsense to Zigger. It's just that the speed is outstanding.

Houllier couldn't stand it.

Within minutes of the start of the second half, Houllier replaced Hamann with Smitchell. Houllier wants to step up his attack and doesn't want to give up the midfield to Blackburn Rovers entirely.

However, after seeing Smitchell play, George also replaced Deco with Miku and replaced Pire with Duff. Mainly because Deco and Pire have both played in the UEFA Super Cup, and George doesn't want them to get too tired. Because you are too tired, it is easy to get injured.

Hamann is a top-tier defensive midfielder.

But now Houllier has replaced Hamann in order to strengthen the attack. Steven Gerrard was by no means a competent defensive midfielder, so George switched on Miku. Let Miku deal with Gerald. Steven Gerrard is England's top midfielder in the future, capable of attacking and defending.

However, the current Gerald has just turned twenty years old, and he is still an inexperienced little hairy child. In the face of Miku's experienced midfielder, George is not worried about Gerrard at all.

Sure enough, after Miku came on the field, Liverpool's attack did not play. On the contrary, there are more problems in defense.

Blackburn's attack also began to lean towards Miku, and McAllister used more passes to deploy two wings. When it came to the organization in the line of attack, all of them were handed over to Miku.

“…… Miku ...... Pass, Duff! ”

Miku's passing is always so hidden. And with the tacit understanding with Duff, gently passing through, Duff bypassed Carragher. Carragher had an own goal in this game, and then Pire kept breaking through. It's already a stomachache.

Finally waited for the pesky Pire to end. I didn't expect Duff to come up, and he broke through himself as easily.

So when Duff broke through himself, Carragher was very uncool and pulled down Duff who broke through.

"Toot-" The referee hurriedly came to Carragher and showed a yellow card.

"Miku is going to take this free-kick!"

“…… Panucci ...... Pad shot! ”

Miku's free-kick goes to the back post. Panucci, who had been cruising around the periphery, found this accurately. Wrap around to the back point, jump up and shoot lightly. The angle was too small, though, and Westerved pounced.

“…… The ball reached McAllister's feet, and McAllister stabbed it over. The ball went in, three to zero! ”

Westerved saved the ball right at McAllister's feet. McAllister certainly laughed at such a gift that fell from the sky.

With less than 65 minutes to go, Blackburn already had a 3-0 lead over Liverpool. There is no suspense in the game.

"Blackburn Rovers won the race so well. I don't know if Liverpool is too weak now, or Blackburn is too strong. Anyway, the whole game, except for a certain offensive in the opening stage, was completely under Blackburn's control. ”

"Look at the way it is, and even if Blake wanted to, he could score again." Mortenson smiled wryly.

Liverpool, this is the number one club in England.

At a time when League One clubs dominated European football, Liverpool was the representative team of League One. At that time, Liverpool swept European football, and from the mid-70s to the mid-80s, the whole European football world was red.

Liverpool have won the Champions League four times, Nottingham Forest have two Champions Leagues and Aston Villa have won the Champions League once.

Liverpool also relied on their performance at that stage to become the number one giant in England.

By that time, Mortensen had become a football commentator. I also saw Liverpool sweep European football with my own eyes. Although Mortensen is not a supporter of Liverpool, it is still a little sighing to see that this original king army has now fallen to this point.

"It's not easy for Liverpool to even get a place in the League Cup right now. Manchester United, Arsenal are strong, and Blackburn Rovers are in amazing form. With Leeds United, Liverpool will need to work hard and work hard to secure a UEFA Cup spot. ”

Lineker shook his head as well. The division of a generation of kings, but now fighting for a place in the League Cup.

The game continued, although George had the heart to take it back. But he didn't dare, or he didn't want to. If it was a different team, George would definitely take it back. It's already three to zero.

But against Liverpool, George doesn't want to give them the slightest hope. Therefore, they have always been suppressed. Of course, this kind of pressing is just a midfield press, not a furious attack like in the first half.

The game passed minute by minute and soon came to stoppage time. The score was still 3-0.

"You said David. Does Morse regret it? "Mortensen saw that the game was almost over, so he asked Lineker.

"Regrets?"

Lineker didn't understand what Mortensen meant.

"Yes. Two years ago, George was infinitely close to Liverpool. George and David. Morse has already negotiated face-to-face, but I heard that it was because of Liverpool's two-leader system, which made George dissatisfied. That's why the final negotiations collapsed. Liverpool then approached Coach Houllier. ”

"In terms of the quality of the team at the time, Liverpool were far better than Blackburn. But after George took charge of Blackburn, he has already won the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Super Cup. And Blackburn Rovers are currently on three wins and are at the top of the nine-point standings. ”

"And Liverpool has not even mixed up the League Cup place for two consecutive seasons. You say David. Did Morse regret his original decision? ”

When Mortenson recounted this past, David. Morse had already left the VIP seat. David. Morse did have a trace of regret in his heart. If the club that invited George at the time was Liverpool, it ...... now.
