Chapter 71: Poor Torres
The big battle between Liverpool and Aston Villa immediately attracted the attention of the entire European football world, and the hot process of the game shocked all those who watched the game, and everyone did not understand what was going on between the two teams, an ordinary league game, and it was necessary to work so hard.
However, this game clearly alerted the entire Premier League club and some teams participating in the Champions League, whether it is Liverpool or Aston Villa, the two teams don't know why, but their outburst of combat effectiveness can even be said to be terrifying, which also makes the clubs that are about to meet the two teams vigilant, and no longer look down on Liverpool and Aston Villa.
After 90 minutes, Aston Villa lost gloriously and Liverpool also won miserably. Aston Villa brought down Owen's defender and immediately earned himself a large ticket and a four-game ban for his free and easy kick. You must know that since Keane admitted in his autobiography that he deliberately tackled Haaland, the FA has taken this kind of deliberate malicious foul very seriously, and the punishment will naturally not be soft.
As for Liverpool, it is also not comfortable, because Owen's injury cannot be recovered at least before Christmas, which means that Owen wants to continue playing, at least until after the winter transfer period, which is considered Owen's recovery is good, if the recovery is slow, I am afraid that the rest and recuperation will take longer.
In the face of this result, Lao Bei could only smile bitterly with the hospital's medical list, Liverpool's injury is really a serious loss for Liverpool. Thinking that Owen was also injured last season made George come to the fore. Considering Owen's thin body, Lao Bei secretly made up his mind that after Owen returned from injury, he must strengthen Owen's physical confrontation ability. After all, in a busy and intense competition like the Premier League, a strong body is essential.
Owen is destined not to return to the team in the short term, it is already a fact, although Lao Bei also sighed from time to time, but after all, the days still have to pass, no, Atletico Madrid finally set off from Spain, came to Liverpool, ready to start the second leg of the competition between the two sides.
"Hehe, now you know that you are worried, the last time you were at Calderón Stadium, weren't you very arrogant, why are you so serious now. Hehe, I'm sure we, the Liverpool fans, will welcome you warmly in the same way. ”
Standing in the players' tunnel, George glanced at the Atletico Madrid players on the side, only to see that there was no expression on the other party's face, and even if there was, it was only infinitely serious. Seeing this situation, George naturally knew that the other party must be ready for a hard fight, thinking of the last time at Calderón Stadium, Atletico Madrid's "warm hospitality" for Liverpool players, George can be sure that the lovely Liverpool fans will never let the Liverpool players suffer, and will definitely use the same way to "welcome" Atletico Madrid. Thinking of this, George couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, it's almost time, let's get in!" Looking at the time, the referee spoke to the players of both teams behind him, and then took the first step into the Anfield stadium with the linesman.
"Hello everyone, now the players from both sides have started to enter the pitch, and in the first place, it is our Finnish warrior, our great captain of Liverpool, Sami Hyypia!" When the players from both sides enter the field, the commentators begin to follow the example of the Calderón Stadium commentators and begin to narrate one by one.
Every Liverpool player who played was praised by the commentator without hesitation, and suddenly the Liverpool players secretly wondered one by one, are they as good as the commentator said?
After introducing the Liverpool players, the commentator immediately turned his gun and aimed it at the Atletico Madrid players. Like the treatment Liverpool received at Calderón Stadium, all the Atletico Madrid players were named by the commentator and enjoyed a "warm welcome" from tens of thousands of Liverpool fans. Its huge boos suddenly made the Atletico Madrid players puzzled one by one, and Liverpool fans were so excited.
"O~ beautiful tackle, Hyypia cut off the ball at Torres' feet with a textbook tackle, and our captain is telling Torres in his own way that this is Anfield, not your Calderón."
As soon as the game began, in the shouts and cheers of the Liverpool fans, Liverpool began to press all over the field, after all, this is their home stadium, and the Liverpool players have no reason to play cautiously and shrink their heads and tails at Anfield Stadium.
No, in the face of Liverpool's full-court pressing tactics, Atletico Madrid, who was under pressure, was still unable to adapt for a while, and finally handed the ball to the feet of Torres, who had the best personal skills in the room, and Torres did not take a few steps before being cut off directly by Hyypia.
Hyypia, who got the ball, immediately passed the ball to Riser on the side, Riser ran 30 meters with the ball, passed the ball to Colwill who was ambushed aside, Colwill hung directly to the penalty area, if it wasn't for the final Heskey's header deflected, I'm afraid Liverpool will have to stage a good show of scoring in less than five minutes after the opening.
Liverpool's attack was very smooth, from Hyypia's break to Heskey's header at the end, it took less than half a minute for Liverpool to complete a very dangerous shot, and the whole Liverpool played smoothly, without the pressure that they had at the Calderón Stadium against Atletico Madrid.
On the contrary, Atletico Madrid is much more restrictive than Liverpool's smooth sailing, perhaps because the atmosphere at Anfield is so enthusiastic that several Atletico Madrid players have not yet entered the game, and their dribbling and passing movements are very stiff.
In the 22nd minute of the game, Torres got the ball again, and while carefully protecting the ball so as not to be cut off by Hyypia like last time, he looked at Hyypia in front of him vigilantly.
"Hmph~ The game just now has just begun, and I haven't gotten into the groove yet, so I let you cut off my ball. It's not that easy this time, I'm not that easy to bully, this time I'll see how you cut off my ball. Looking at Hyypia, Torres thought confidently.
Torres will not doubt his skills again, and although he is a striker, Torres is confident that his skills will not be inferior even when compared to a playmaking striker.
"You're a fool!" Seeing that Torres in front of him no longer stepped forward, but looked at him vigilantly, Hyypia naturally knew Torres's general thoughts, thinking of this, Hyypia couldn't help sneering and said.
"What?" Hearing Hyypia's words, Torres was taken aback, not knowing what Hyypia meant by saying this. But Torres immediately understood what Hyypia meant, because at this moment Hamann had already crept into his hands, and with a slight bump, he pushed Torres aside, grabbed the ball and began to run towards the Atletico Madrid half.
"I said you're a fool!" At this time, Hyypia walked up to Torres and said with a wicked smile.
"Say whatever you say, you say it again!" Hearing Hyypia's words, Torres, who was already a little embarrassed because he was stupid enough to be stolen by Haman, suddenly glared at Hyypia and said. In fact, after all, he is still a young man, thin-skinned, and wants to divert attention.
"Humph!" Hearing Torres's words, Hyypia snorted coldly and began to rush forward, in Hyypia's eyes, Torres is indeed very talented, not even worse than George, but in the end, Torres is just a child, not to mention that Torres does not have George's perverted psychological quality. Torres may be very good, but it was definitely a few years, and when Torres finished growing up, the current Torres, in the eyes of Hyypia, is not as famous as a famous, but he is already thirty years old, and the striker with a lot of experience in the game is a threat.
