"The return of God? Fowler? ”

In the Melwood training base, Zhang Tiehan, Gerrard and other players are resting on the grass, they have just finished tactical training, and after a period of rest, Benitez will go to lunch after returning.

They were also talking about Fowler, who was coming to the team.

"He's great, but I don't know how it's going." Gerrard said that he was probably the only one who could have an opinion here, in 1998, when he was just 18 years old, he entered the Liverpool first team, but only team-mates with Fowler for half a year, and the latter left, and Gerrard was not the main player in the team at that time, and there was not much intersection with a big star like Fowler.

"That guy is great, but he's just too prone to injury." Hyypia knew Fowler.

Others are talking.

In English football, there is still a lot of news about Fowler in the past two years, and when he can play, he always scores, which is quite good.

But when they learned that Fowler was coming, two people were not in a good mood.

Cisse and Morientes......

Zhang Tiehan was originally going to occupy a main position, if Fowler's arrival was good, then the second position would be Fowler's, Cisse was originally the team's second striker, but it was likely to be reduced to the third striker, Morientes? He was already thinking about leaving Liverpool in the summer.

He used to be Real Madrid's top scorer and a great player on the same level as Raul.

Now he is Liverpool's fourth striker.

That's the brutality of professional football, but most of the Liverpool players were expecting Fowler to arrive, but today they couldn't see it because Fowler was just here to report and he had to go for a medical check to see how he was recovering. The only thing the players know is that Fowler will be watching Liverpool's league game at Anfield tomorrow.

On 16 March, Liverpool host Fulham.

As Chelsea's opponent's 'old farmer' Fulham, there is really a big gap with Chelsea, and their derby with Chelsea is difficult to attract fans to watch, so Fulham's strength and results can be imagined. If Liverpool had faced Fulham before, they would have had a headache because they defended well, and if they were not in form, it would not be easy for Liverpool to win at home.

But now it's different.

Almost no one thought Liverpool would lose before the game, the media, the fans...... Perhaps the Fulham players thought so, just look at their table in the game, they were completely inform at Anfield, so that Liverpool's attack played well. Even goals can be described in the same words.

In the third minute, Zhang Tiehan knocked on Fulham's door with a long-range shot to open the scoring for Liverpool.

In the ninth minute, Gerrard cut in a diagonal cross and Cisse followed up with a shot that was empty.

In the 11th minute, Garcia's corner kick gave Zhang Tiehan a chance, and he gave Liverpool a three-goal lead with a trademark header.

Fulham may have realized it afterwards. If they don't show themselves well, it will really turn into a massacre today. So they stepped up their defence and Liverpool didn't find another goal in the first half.

Originally, the fans thought that Fulham would step up their attack in the second half, after all, they were three goals behind and had to attack if they wanted to get points, but obviously they overestimated Fulham's sportsmanship and the game went into the second half. Fulham still opted to defend, and as a result, Liverpool could continue to attack smoothly.

In just twenty minutes, Liverpool scored three more goals.

In the 49th and 56th minutes, Zhang Tiehan took advantage of the opportunity to compete for the top in the penalty area twice in a row and scored with a header. The other goal was scored by Steven Gerrard, who took advantage of a free-kick opportunity to create a direct goal.

Six to zero.

No one expected the game to turn out like this.

After that, Benitez replaced Zhang Tiehan, Zhang Tiehan was really meaningless on the field, Benitez was worried that the Fulham players would be 'annoyed and angry' to retaliate against Zhang Tiehan, so he replaced him early and let him accept the applause of the fans.

Sixty minutes, four goals, Fulham seems to have become the target of Zhang Tiehan's league goals.

Fans and the media see it that way.

After Zhang Tiehan went off the field, Fulham's sportsmanship was still not visible, they didn't seem to want to score a goal to regain a little face, and in the following time, Liverpool's attack was still very hearty, and they didn't mean to save face for the opponent at all.

In the 79th and 83rd minutes, in just four minutes, Cisse scored two goals.

The Frenchman used the game to find confidence.

Hat-trick!

In the end, the game ended 8-0 and Liverpool won a real big game, until a lot of the game had passed, and there were still many fans in the stands who refused to leave the stadium, and they seemed to be reminiscing about the feeling of 8-0 in their seats, which was really wonderful.

Of course, Fulham certainly didn't feel very good.

The media used "unlucky farmer" to describe Fulham's experience, Coleman only walked around at the press conference and left directly, he may not want to hear the media talk about the game, for Fulham this game is really too big a blow, this is to three seasons, England game gap is the widest, create zào game between the two sides, Liverpool must feel good, Fulham...... They had to experience the feeling of being sympathized.

After playing with Fulham, Fowler became Liverpool's biggest news.

Even in the post-match press conference, some reporters did not talk too much about the big win, but asked about Fowler's return, Benitez also talked about it, when a reporter mentioned how long Fowler will stay at Liverpool, the Spaniard said, "Fowler has just come to report from the team, we have given him a contract until June, whether he can stay after the summer depends on the state of the final stage." ”

It's a fact.

Although Fowler played for Liverpool for a few seasons and was the prince of Liverpool at the time, he is 31 years old after all, and injuries are constant, and Manchester City are willing to let him move to Liverpool on a free transfer, which shows how bad Fowler's situation is.

A long-term big contract is not so easy to offer.

Even if there is no transfer fee, Fowler needs to fight for it himself, his chances are only more than two months left, and if he does well, he can find a place in Liverpool. Otherwise, you can only leave.

The day after the game, the Liverpool players also met Fowler.

From this day on, Fowler officially became a member of Liverpool, which also gave Benitez other options in the forward line, in fact, Benitez brought in Fowler for the purpose of bringing in. It was because of Zhang Tiehan's injury at Christmas, and at that time, he thought that Zhang Tiehan would not play for the team this season, so he naturally had to supplement the forward line, but unfortunately in the difficult January and February, Fowler was also unable to report to the team due to injury.

Now Fowler's arrival is also a bit useful, and the Spaniard has another option, which is to pair Fowler with Zhang Tiehan.

Fowler has an advantage in this regard.

Whether it is Cisse or Morientes, it is not very suitable to partner with Zhang Tiehan, and Zhang Tiehan needs a partner who can pass the ball. But Cisse is a pure goal-scoring striker, and it is more suitable for the two to partner Cisse as a center forward, and the same is true for Morientes, although he is good in the shadow striker position, but he is also a goal-scoring striker at nature, and he needs more opportunities.

But due to his recent form and age, Benitez doesn't expect much more from Morientes.

In short, Fowler's arrival gave Benitez one more option.

If Fowler can be a good partner for Zhang Tiehan. Then he would be able to stay, that's what Benitez thought.

Fowler came to the team for official training this afternoon. Benitez spoke to him for a short time alone, talking about his place in the team and what he needs Fowler to do.

Fowler understood what Benitez meant.

"Zhang? I'm going to be his partner? Fowler didn't expect Benitez to talk to him about this in particular, but he was actually prepared.

Fowler has been through a lot as a player in his thirties, and he was once England's most anticipated talent. A great talent on the same level as Owen and David Beckham, and he was also called 'Beckham's brother', and he was so good at the time.

Later, due to injury, Fowler gradually withdrew from the public eye, but as long as he played. Goal efficiency is still guaranteed.

Having reached heights that many players can't achieve, coupled with age and experience, Fowler knew a lot about his current situation and the current situation of Liverpool when he moved to Liverpool, and he would not make a rash decision on a single matter.

Fowler was happy to be back at Liverpool, but he also knew he wouldn't be the protagonist now.

Yesterday Liverpool hosted Fulham, he stood in the audience, he watched the team complete a big win, the number 13, that is, the player known as 'Zhang' is too good, he also played against Zhang Tiehan when he was at Manchester City, it was an opponent at that time, the position of the two is difficult to meet, he only thinks Zhang Tiehan is very good, but not as shocking as today.

That's simply ...... Excellent!

Even when he was at his peak, he couldn't compare to it at all, that kind of Cheng Dù had reached the top level in the world, and with such a competitor, Fowler couldn't even find the slightest hope that he could compete for victory, not only himself thought so, but others would also see it this way.

So when Benitez said to him, "I need you to try to be Zhang's partner and use your experience to create a better scoring environment for Zhang", etc., Fowler was not surprised at all.

He even breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, his competitors will become Cisse and Morientes, Morientes has not scored for a long time, the main reason is that it is difficult for him to integrate into Liverpool's tactical system, and he is also a little uncomfortable with the Premier League, then the main opponent is Cice, the Frenchman is a standard goal-scoring striker, his competitor is Zhang Tiehan, and his competitor is him...... Although it was a bit messy, Fowler felt much less stressed.

Fowler assured Benitez that "I'll try," he said.

When training with his teammates, Fowler tries to position himself as a second striker - he can shoot when he can, but he also tries to do the same when he can pass the ball to Zhang Tiehan, and even if he can't pass the ball to Zhang Tiehan, then it is a good choice to attract the defense.

In short, he does the work of a 'blue collar' in the front court.

In this way, Fowler's appearance really looks inconspicuous, but it is obviously very helpful to Zhang Tiehan, Zhang Tiehan and Fowler feel very comfortable together, not like Cisse, who will often 'snatch' opportunities that should be his own.

Zhang Tiehan felt good, so he took the initiative to meet Fowler.

Fowler is considered a senior.

Zhang Tiehan also talked to him about some things, most of them were about football and about the front court, and Zhang Tiehan found that some of the things Fowler said were still somewhat helpful to him. (To be continued......)
