Chapter 40: Winning Streak (Part II)
Captain, be calm, be cold, he did it on purpose, you! Seeing Upson beating George, Cunningham was taken aback, and hurriedly rushed over, hugging Upson to the death, not letting Upson step forward, while constantly persuading.
"No, let me go, if I don't teach this kid a lesson today, this kid really thinks this is Anfield. Which side of the hell are you, how are you on Liverpool's side, you get out of here. ”
Cunningham's persuasion had no effect, and the angry Upson couldn't listen to a word at all, and just wanted to rush over and teach this Liverpool boy a good lesson about the height of the sky.
"Captain, you must be calm, even if you rush over, it is useless, you must know that the kid is the villain of Manchester United Keane and Arsenal's Vieira, and last season he also set a record of two tall defenders who put one man in Southampton in five seconds, even if you rush up, have you beaten others."
"Well, it seems that there is such a thing, although I am very strong, I may not be able to turn over two big men over 1.9 meters. If I had rushed up so stupidly, I might have been beaten up by that hateful boy, and if that were the case, then I would have been too uneconomical. ”
Cunningham's persuasion obviously moved Upson's words, and Upson was also caught in a contradiction at this time, what should he do at this time. If you rush up, I'm afraid you will really be beaten up by the other party, in front of tens of thousands of Birmingham fans, you were beaten back by that little kid from Liverpool, so where can you put the face of your dignified Birmingham captain.
But if you don't rush up, you can't do it, if you don't rush up, I'm afraid the other party really thinks that you're scared, then the remaining half an hour of competition, that kid doesn't have to fly into the sky, what should I do?
Upson, who was in the conflict, although he still had a murderous face, rushed towards George, but at this time he already had the heart to retreat, and he didn't really want to rush up and have a good exchange with George about fighting skills.
Cunningham clearly felt that the captain was retreating, because at this time, Upson rushed towards George with much less force than before, and it was obvious that Upson also understood that even if he rushed over, there was nothing he could do about the other party. It's just that there is no step down for a while, and my face is a little unbearable, so I continue to prepare to rush over.
Come to think of it. Cunningham couldn't help but curse Upson for saving face. He said in Epson's words, "Captain." You're the soul of our Birmingham. If you rush up and do it. Don't talk about the consequences. At least you'll definitely get a red card. If you leave the ground. I can't imagine us in Birmingham after losing the Great You. What will be played by Liverpool. Captain, just bear with me. For us. For Birmingham. Just bear with it this time. ”
Well, this kid is good. Quite cleverly. I can see things more clearly. Not bad. Why didn't I see this guy so cute before?
Seeing Cunningham in his own contradictions. Immediately pave yourself a step to step down. Upson's favorability of Cunning is simply overwhelming.
"Well, forget it this time. For the benefit of Birmingham. I put up with it. Brat. Don't be too arrogant. Don't really think you're amazing. Don't say it's you. Even Keane and Vieira. Even if they're a tiger. You have to be a docile kitten in front of me, too. ”
Now that there are steps. Then Upson naturally went down the steps. Of course. The scene still has to say a few words. The previous sentence is to give Cunning's peace to the ground where he is holding himself. said that he was not afraid that he would not be able to beat George. It's for the sake of the team's local interests. The latter sentence is naturally addressed to George. But how much truth is there in the words? It really needs to be verified.
I saw this juncture. The captain is still trying to save face. Cunningham despised Upson in addition to that. You also know what to say.
"What are you two doing, do you want to continue playing, if you don't want to, I will definitely not be stingy with the red card in my pocket, do you want me to help send you two down."
When Liverpool's attack was saved by Taylor, the referee realized that something was wrong between George and Upson, and immediately rushed over and warned TUpson and George.
With a cold snort, the Upsons didn't have a bird referee, and went straight back to the penalty area, saying that he didn't want to make trouble.
"Coward!" Seeing Upson calming down, George immediately said disdainfully, and then slowly began to retreat towards the midfield. I was a little disappointed that George was ready to be beaten and not fight back, so that Upson was sent off with a red card. But the final result did not follow George's script, which made George, who had been prepared for a long time, suddenly feel holding his breath.
George's voice was not very loud, but Upson's ears were not bad, and it was natural to hear George's contempt for himself. Although he was very angry in his heart, Upson also knew that he couldn't do it with George in front of the referee at this time, so he deliberately pretended not to hear it, but made up his mind that in the next game, he would let George taste his own strength.
The turmoil of a brawl, suppressed by the referee's "timely", also ended under the homeopathy of one party. But the game didn't take anything for it
, on the contrary, because of the conflict between George and Upson, the players on both sides also opened, the action became bigger and bigger, and the game became more and more intense.
In the 17th minute of the second half, Colwill received a pass directly from the backfield, ran all the way to the Birmingham penalty area, and shot from a small angle under the interference of Upson. Unfortunately, Birmingham's goalkeeper Taylor was still in great form, once again deflecting Colwill's dangerous shot.
Three minutes later, Liverpool made a comeback, this time it was Gerrard, after receiving the ball from Smitchell, he shot vigorously from 27 meters from the goal, the ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball, but unfortunately Gerrard's shot was a little rushed, the power was not pressed, and the ball finally flew out of the bottom line by grazing the post amid the exclamations of tens of thousands of Birmingham fans.
Of course, Birmingham will not let Liverpool be so arrogant on their home turf, although the strength is not as good as Liverpool, but Birmingham still launched several counterattacks in limited opportunities. It's a pity that under Liverpool's tight defense and Dudek's saves, Dunson and Morrison kept wasting Birmingham's few attacking opportunities.
Waste is shameful, chances are wasted, and finally in the 29th minute of the second half, Birmingham were punished for their own waste, and the person who punished Birmingham was none other than Liverpool's steel defender Hamann.
In the 29th minute of the second half, Liverpool kept passing the ball to each other on the edge of the Birmingham penalty area, patiently looking for opportunities. Just when Birmingham's goalkeepers and defenders thought Liverpool would still be able to finish their shots from wide and on the ground as they had done on the previous occasions, Hamann, Liverpool's heavy gunner, taught the Birmingham players a hard lesson.
Thirty metres from goal, Hamann, who was plugged in, raised his foot and shot angrily after receiving a pass from Steven Gerrard. At this time, Birmingham's defenders had been unwittingly attracted to both sides of the penalty area by George and Owen, and suddenly the center of the Birmingham penalty area became a wide plain.
It was seeing this that Hamann opted to shoot straight instead of passing the ball as usual. You must know that although the German Hamann is a defensive midfielder, he has a very good long-range shooting technique, and even Gerrard's long-range shooting skills are also handed over by the Germans.
Therefore, the Germans' long-range shooting technology is definitely the best in the world.
It's just that because of the position, Hamann rarely participates in the attack, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't shoot from a distance, when Hamann starts to shoot from a distance, then Haman's shots are often fatal.
This time was no exception, seeing that there was no one in the middle of the Birmingham penalty area as a human wall, Hamann was also polite, and shot directly with his feet, and the ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball.
By the time Taylor reacted too late, the ball had already burst into the box and was still growing. So after that, Taylor was just about to make a sideways save when he felt a cold blow on his face, and the ball had already burrowed into the net. In the face of Hamann's powerful shot, Taylor, who had been very brave throughout the game, had no chance to react.
Dietmar Hamann, the German, breached the gates of Birmingham with a wonderful kick of the world. I'm sure it will be one of the best goals of the round. ”
Hamann, who scored the goal, also seemed very excited, after all, Haman's position was destined to make Haman's goals pitiful, so every time he scored, Haman was very excited. At this time, Harman hugged Gerald tightly with excitement, raising his right hand high, like a Gugermain general, looking domineering. And the Liverpool players are like General Haman's soldiers, tightly surrounding Haman, constantly celebrating.
1: The score, not only allowed Liverpool to lead Birmingham away from home, but also shattered the belief in the hearts of Birmingham players to ensure a point. The Birmingham players, whose morale had been severely hit, simply went into sleepwalking in the following games, and they were completely different from what they were before they were led by Liverpool.
Birmingham sleepwalked, Liverpool naturally will not be polite, after all, Liverpool came here, not just for a game victory, but to get more goal difference in a team like Birmingham that is not strong.
So in the next game, Liverpool launched a wave of attacks against Birmingham, and finally ended with a score at full-time. George scored twice with the help of his team-mates, while Owen also netted a goal.
With a win over Birmingham, Liverpool ushered in a three-game winning streak for the new season, which is indeed a good start. Compared with Liverpool's poor start in the past, Liverpool at this time undoubtedly makes fans look forward to it more.
At the same time as Liverpool's victory over Birmingham, Manchester United and Arsenal also defeated their respective opponents at the same time, the three strong teams in England are all in the first group with three consecutive wins and nine points, Arsenal with Henry's terrifying state, with a goal difference temporarily ranked first, Manchester United second, Liverpool third. Fourth-placed Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have won and drawn seven points. It seems that at this moment, Liverpool and Arsenal and Manchester United are announcing to all English teams that this season's title race is still between the three of us.
