Chapter 35: Owen Wants Revenge

The home win over Newcastle United made Liverpool very happy for the new season. However, Liverpool did not rejoice for long, as Liverpool's biggest rivals in the league, Arsenal and Manchester United, also won and were still ahead of their opponents by large scores.

As for Liverpool, although they won the game, they are also in fourth place because of goal difference. Although the opponents of Arsenal and Manchester United are not very good, the strong attacking ability shown by Arsenal and Manchester United makes it clear to Liverpool that it is really not easy to defend the title this season.

Seemingly spurred on by Arsenal and Manchester United's big wins, the whole Liverpool team has started to train hard and prepare for a big win in the second game of the league.

It was in this situation that Liverpool finally welcomed their second opponent of the season at home - Aston Villa.

Aston Villa is not a weak team, at least not a point giveaway in the eyes of a strong team. Think about Liverpool's victory against Aston Villa last season, but it was a miserable victory, and Comrade Owen was injured and out for a long time.

For the second guest, Owen is full of revenge mentality, before the game officially started, Owen began to frequently say to his teammates that he wants to take revenge in this game, you must support me to help me, and create opportunities and passes for me as much as possible.

For Owen's request, Liverpool is naturally full of consent, after all, Owen was seriously injured in the game with Aston Villa last season, and it is really normal to have this kind of thought.

If Owen doesn't have the idea of revenge, I'm afraid Liverpool will still find it strange whether Owen is afraid to play against Aston Villa because of the injury last time.

"Michael~ I know you want revenge in this game, but you also have to come depending on the situation, don't be too reluctant, you must know that the season has just begun, if you are injured in this game because of the revenge of the journalist, it will be a huge blow to us Liverpool."

In the locker room, after explaining the tactics of the game to the players, Lao Bei glanced at the quiet Owen, and couldn't help but say after thinking about it.

No way. Comrade Lao Bei is afraid. I'm afraid that this game Owen's mind will suddenly heat up. Reckless for revenge. Then it's the same as last season. I'm afraid that Lao Bei doesn't even have a place to cry.

"Don't worry, Coach. I know what to do. After all, I don't want the new season to have just begun. I left everyone and went to the ward. That's just too bad. 'Understand what the manager is worried about. Owen nodded and said seriously.

"Huh. That's good! "Seeing that Owen still has the heart to joke. Lao Bei's nervous heart also relaxed.

"Alright. Lads. Go tell the guests of Aston Villa. Whose territory is this? "Look at the time is almost up. Lao Bei said with a big wave of his hand proudly.

Understand it's time to get ready to play. I heard the old Bedi dialect. The Liverpool players stood up suddenly. Started walking out of the locker room.

"George, are we good brothers?" Walking down the tunnel, quietly waiting for the referee to announce the time of arrival, Owen called George aside and asked in a whisper.

"Of course, we are good brothers, you don't need to doubt that! What's wrong, why do you suddenly ask that? Although there was some speculation about what Owen wanted to say, George couldn't help but ask.

"Well, since you are a good brother to me, then I believe you know very well what this game means to me, and what I am going to do! As you know, this game is my revenge game and I hope to get more of the ball when I play. ”

Owen slowly spoke his thoughts, and at the same time looked at George with some concern, afraid that George would suddenly get angry. After all, both of them are strikers, so they naturally want to score goals, and the more times and time they get the ball, the better the chances of scoring goals.

"Haha, I thought it was something, it turned out to be this thing, no problem, you can do it with confidence, and I'll help you talk to Steven and Harry later, and if they have a chance, pass the ball to you." Brother, don't think too much, just enjoy this game and get revenge to your heart's content, I'll involve the opposing defender for me. ”

George laughed out loud and patted Owen on the shoulder. George can know Owen's mood very well at this time, just like when he was in the Champions League last season, when he heard that the next opponent might be Inter Milan, George's mood at that time was probably more impatient than Owen now, and he still had to remember revenge.

Seeing that George agreed without hesitation at all, he looked at George carefully, and now George was not reluctant to say what he said just now. Seeing this, Owen knew that George was telling the truth, and thinking of this, Owen said thank you with some emotion.

"Nonsense, what are you, in other words, if I was injured against Aston Villa last season and now I want to get revenge, will you help me?"

"Of course it will, that's you

Doubt! Hearing George's inquiry, Owen returned without thinking, and his answer was slower, as if it was not sincere.

"Hehe, that's right, since you can help me, then as a good brother, why can't I just help you. Okay, don't think about it so much, you can go to the game with peace of mind and take revenge to your heart's content! ”

George smiled, patted Owen on the shoulder, and looked at Owen with a touched face, George couldn't help but secretly smug: Damn, it seems that I am also getting more and more good at buying people's hearts.

Under the leadership of the referee, players from both sides walked into the stadium at the same time to the cheers of tens of thousands of Liverpool fans.

"Hello fans, welcome to Anfield, where the second round of the English game is just around the corner, this time Liverpool host Aston Villa. I'm afraid many Liverpool fans will not forget that in last season, Liverpool and Aston Villa played a miserable game, I believe this game will not disappoint everyone either, let's wait and see what the game will be like. ”

I don't know why, it seems that the FA deliberately rectified Liverpool, looking at Liverpool's schedule, all the opponents encountered in the early stage were not bad. After all the games against strong opponents, followed by a series of underdogs, and there are several sworn rivals in this team, it will undoubtedly be a serious test for Liverpool in the new season.

Looking at the fixture schedule between Arsenal and Manchester United, the arrangement of two weak and one strong is very reasonable, which allows Arsenal and Manchester United to play at their full level of strength. Liverpool is different, after a few games in a row, I am afraid that Liverpool will consume a lot of physical energy, and even if it encounters a weak team, it will definitely be able to defeat the opponent.

What's more, among the weak teams, there are also Arsenal and Manchester United, as well as the sworn rivals Everton.

The new season has just begun, and Lao Bei began to have a headache for the new season's arrangement, because with the schedule in his hand, Lao Bei knew that if he didn't arrange it well, then Liverpool would definitely drop the chain at the end because of physical problems.

There may be a lot of trouble in this, but in any case, this schedule has been announced, no matter how dissatisfied Lao Bei is, there is no way to appeal, and the FA cannot change the schedule because of a Liverpool team.

Not to mention Liverpool, not even any team would allow the FA to make such concessions. In fact, there is no league in Europe's top five leagues where a club is dissatisfied and changes the schedule.

"Let's take a look at the highlights of this game, first of all, the captains of the two teams have a direct dialogue, whether it is Hyypia or Melberg, both of them are the absolute core of the team's defense, how to make the opponent not score in this game is also a clash between the two. And both of them have the opportunity to take advantage of set-pieces and corners to face each other face to face. ”

"Similarly, the forwards on both sides, whether it is Liverpool's George and Owen or Aston Villa's Vassell, all three are members of the England national team, and they are all technical strikers, so let's wait and see what kind of wonderful performances will be brought to everyone in this game."

"Similarly, in the midfield, between the two midfield cores Solano and Gerrard, it is also a point of interest, which of the two can lead the team to today's victory, after 90 points, everything will be revealed."

The game had already begun as the commentator chattered about the highlights of the game, with Liverpool taking possession of the ball first, and the ball was passed to Gerrard's feet after a few passes, a Liverpool start that would never change.

After taking a closer look at the situation on the field, Gerrard immediately distributed the ball to Riser on the wing, and Riser did not rush forward, but slowly trotted towards Aston Villa's half with the ball and began to attract opposing players.

When he saw a midfielder from Aston Villa rushing towards him, Reese had no chance to pass the ball and handed the ball to Gerrard on the side again, but Gerrard did not protect the ball this time, but directly handed the ball to Hamann behind him, and he began to kill towards Aston Villa's penalty area, ready to attack.

Hamann knew he wasn't a ball-dribbling man and immediately passed the ball to Smitchell on the right.

At the moment when Smitchell just received the ball, Owen, who was bent on revenge, suddenly began to slash towards George towards Aston Villa's penalty area. When George saw Owen rushing towards him, he immediately understood Owen's plan, and he also rushed towards Owen's side, and started a cross run with Owen.

The two ran like this, which immediately made Aston Villa's defenders scramble, not knowing whether to defend in place or keep up. In this case, there was a hole in the Aston Villa backline and Smitchelton saw it and passed the ball into the box.
