Chapter 94: Shopping for Inter (Part II)

In the face of Inter Milan's strong attack, Liverpool's defense was very difficult, and even George and Owen, two forwards, had to retreat to the perimeter of the penalty area at this time, ready to help at any time.

In the 39th minute, Inter Milan got a set-piece opportunity in front, Zanetti kicked the ball high into the Liverpool penalty area, and finally was grabbed by Henkz before Ronaldo and pushed it out.

"Good opportunity." Seeing the ball rolling towards him, Zanetti couldn't help but scream in his heart, and rushed towards the ball, ready to make a long shot. It's best to be able to score, even if you can't score, at least there are a lot of teammates in the box to create a chance for your teammates to shoot.

Zanetti's idea was good, but it wasn't what Zanetti wanted to see. When Zanetti was still two meters away from the football, a red figure suddenly flashed in front of Zanetti's eyes, and the ball that had been staring at it disappeared with the figure.

"Owen!" A depressed Zanetti looked at the man who had snatched the ball, and it was Owen. It turns out that Owen has been wandering around the big penalty area just now, after all, Owen's body is very weak, if he fights against the players of Inter Milan in the penalty area, I am afraid that he is not anyone's opponent, after all, the body is too weak, and the players of Inter Milan can squeeze Owen over as long as they rely on their strong bodies and squeeze them lightly.

At the same time, Owen in the penalty area is not only unable to help the team strengthen their defense, but also has a good chance of hindering Liverpool's defense. It is for this reason that when he first took a set-piece at Inter Milan, Owen did not rush into the box to mark like George, but wandered around the big penalty area.

After all, even if Owen wants to let go, but without George's strong body, in the dense restricted area, I'm afraid it won't be of much use. When Henkez pushed the ball, Owen had already judged where the ball would land, and although Zanetti was very close to the ball, Owen relied on his proud speed to grab the ball before Zanetti could shoot, and began to run towards the Inter Milan penalty area.

Due to the set-piece just taken by Inter Milan, it can be said that the back line of Inter Milan is very empty now, only Cannavaro and Cordoba stay near the midfield, as for Materazzi, he has already rushed into the penalty area to compete for the set-piece just now.

Owen's speed was very fast, although Zanetti was robbed of the ball by Owen, he quickly reacted and chased desperately, but unfortunately the speed was not as fast as Owen at all, and he could only watch Owen dribble the ball, getting farther and farther away from him.

This has not made Zanetti feel depressed, after all, Owen became famous as early as the 98 World Cup, and Zanetti also knows that Owen's speed is fast, although this situation can only be said to be normal.

But when Zanetti, who was running back, looked at a red figure next to him, gradually overtaking himself, throwing himself away, and rushing towards the goal of Inter Milan, Zanetti suddenly felt that he was really an old man, his speed was slow, and he couldn't even know a person whose name was faster than him.

This person is George, although George is famous, but it is limited to the United Kingdom, Zanetti does not follow the Premier League, and it is normal not to know George's name.

George, who had just participated in the defense in the penalty area, began to run towards Inter Milan's goal after seeing Owen grab the ball, and immediately rushed out of his own penalty area, ran with all his might, and slowly chased Owen so that he could cover and respond for Owen.

Facing the menacing Owen and George, Cannavaro and Cordoba quickly retreated and guarded, while secretly praying that their teams could quickly return to the defense to help themselves, after all, with George rushing like this, the current situation on the field has become 2 to 2, and the situation is very unfavorable for International Mulan.

Owen, who was running wildly with the ball, was secretly worried, although the current situation on the field seemed to be beneficial for himself and Liverpool, but Owen still did not dare to be careless. Although he rarely plays against Inter Milan, and he doesn't know much about Cannavaro and Córdoba, after all, the game has been played for more than half an hour, and Owen also has a certain understanding of the strength of the two.

Just when Owen was worried, suddenly Owen found out of the corner of his eye that a red figure appeared not far from his right, seeing this situation, Owen couldn't help but be very happy, the current situation is 2 to 2, so for Liverpool, it is a great advantage.

Although he didn't take a closer look at who the red figure was, Owen was not stupid, as long as he thought about it, he could know that in the entire Liverpool team, there was no one who could keep up with his speed, except for his good buddy George.

Originally, Cannavaro and Cordoba still wanted to defend Irving, but now seeing that George also rushed up quickly, the two had to separate and start to defend one-on-one.

"You can't go back." Years of experience have taught Cannavaro that it is no longer possible to continue to retreat, and it has already reached the scope of the penalty area when he retreats, and when the time comes, Owen will not confront him head-on, and he will shoot directly from a distance, and it is not impossible to score. Thinking of this, Cannavaro stopped retreating, his body bent slightly, and his eyes stared at Owen who was rushing towards him.

Seeing Cannavaro's change, George knew that it was time for a decisive battle, thinking of this, George no longer rushed towards Toldo in one breath as he had just done, but instead turned and approached Cannavaro, while relying on his strong body, he suddenly increased his speed, stuck Cordoba behind him, stretched his hands slightly, did not let Cordoba run in front of him, and quickly approached Owen in order to pick up Owen.

When Owen and Cannavaro were still three meters away, Cannavaro finally couldn't help it and began to rush towards Owen, and at the same time began to react, quickly reaching out with one foot and shoveling the ball at Owen's feet.

"So fast." In the face of Cannavaro's tackle, Owen was not surprised and sighed that Cannavaro's kick was really fast. Although surprised, Owen did not forget to pass the ball. When Cannavaro's foot was almost touching the ball, Irving passed the ball to the side, who was about to pick up George.

At the moment of Irving's pass, at the same time, his body did not slow down, bypassed Cannavaro, and continued to rush forward. Although at the time of the sudden, Cannavaro stretched out his hands to put in or slow down Owen's speed, but Owen was very clever, relying on his agility, around Cannavaro's hands, and continued to rush forward, and at this time, the ball passed to George appeared again to Owen's right and rolled towards the goal.

Originally, at the moment when Owen passed the ball, George did not stop the ball, but directly knocked the ball from Cannavaro's right side, and the ball continued to roll forward, and at this time, Owen just shook off Cannavaro and caught up with the ball, a perfect two-by-one.

Owen, who caught up with the ball, was already in the box at this point, and a world-class striker like Owen can make many periods when he is not defending.

Although Toldo had already attacked when Owen passed Cannavaro, in the face of Toldo's attack, he caught up with the ball, and even his feet had not even touched the temper Owen, so he directly used a feint to shoot and shake Toldo, and then gently flicked the ball, bypassed Toldo, and scored an empty goal.
