Section 556 The value of unity
U8 Update Fastest Reading Network "The Liverpool and Newcastle game is about to begin, and this is the first time Michael Owen has returned to Anfield since leaving Liverpool in 2004, and it is also the first time he has ever stepped on the Anfield turf as a visiting player......
Owen used to be the owner of this stadium, the king, the golden boy, he used to enjoy all the cheers and love here, but this time, when Owen stepped into Anfield, it was not the cheers that awaited Owen. The moment he stepped onto the pitch, there was a flurry of boos around him.
Welcome back, Owen. You leave as traitors, tease us as liars, and all we can give you is our boos.
This is Anfield, which used to be your paradise and your kingdom, but now, here is your hell, your grave.
When he heard the boo, Gerald looked up at the stand, and then back at Owen beside him. Owen also looked back at him at this time, and the eyes of the two men intertwined, as if they both wanted to say something, but neither of them spoke, just glanced at each other, and then, they turned their heads away.
No one said anything, because no one knew what to say.
"Players from both sides came in...... What do we see? It seems, that Gerald rejected Owen's handshake? ”
Michael Owen's outstretched hand was in front of him, but it also made Gerald stunned. He never imagined that one day, he would need to shake hands with Michael Irving before the game.
They were born in the same club, played for the same national team, knew each other for more than ten years, grew up together, and enjoyed good brothers and teammates together, but they were not the last people who could go down with them...... The meaning of the handshake before the game is to represent the friendship between two people, but does the friendship between us really exist?
What to say about this person? None of the words that Gerald could think of did sound like the words of a friend. The two of them were standing face to face like this now, and Owen's handsome face was in front of him, but Gerald seemed to feel that there was a thick layer of smoke in front of him, and he couldn't see clearly what the person opposite looked like.
Those conversations, those words, more than ten years, the closest comrades-in-arms, but I have never seen the person in front of me clearly.
Maybe it was just a second, but Gerald felt like a century in time, and he made a choice that he hadn't even thought of: instead of shaking Owen's hand, he let him reach there while he reached for Bowyer in the back.
This shot was seen by Carragher behind him, and he couldn't help but speak, "Stephen, you're the captain......"
"Allow me to be selfish again." Gerald whispered. He can imagine how the media will hype it up after doing so. He can imagine what the media will say, and he can imagine how much of a fault it is for refusing to shake hands with an opponent as a captain, especially when the opponent is still his national team teammate and needs to play the World Cup together......
However, at this time, he still chose not to pay attention to him.
I trusted you, more than once. For your sake, I can bear the same infamy and turn against my own best brothers. For your sake, I can ignore my duties and responsibilities. But what did you do with me? You betrayed me, you deceived me, and then you mocked me for what I give, what I love, all that I guard......
We used to grow up together, but from now on, let's go our separate ways—and from now on, we'll be like each other, and we don't know anyone.
Owen looked at Gerard in amazement, he had the impression that Gerard had never been like this. He's a good old man, gentle and friendly, and he doesn't get too angry when he makes mistakes. Even after he left Liverpool and met in the national team, he didn't have any excessive accusations against himself, but now, he just didn't go back to Liverpool, and he was so angry?
Owen never thought that Gerrard's anger was not because Owen did not return to Liverpool, but because Owen completely played Gerrard. A person who values friendship can tolerate all kinds of nonsense from friends, but the most intolerable thing is the contempt and trampling of the word friendship by friends.
"It seems that Liverpool has been preparing for this game for a long time and is ready to go. Liverpool's players are in high morale, and this game, again at Anfield, looks very bad for Newcastle. ”
"Although Newcastle made reinforcements and made changes to the squad in the summer, if Newcastle really naively thought that they could play against Liverpool with a striker, then they were obviously very wrong."
Obviously, in this game, Liverpool's advantage is very huge. Although after the addition of Owen, Newcastle's strength has indeed improved, but it is obviously not as big as imagined.
This season, Irving's injuries have been continuous, and they are more intense than ever. And well, Newcastle spent a lot of money because of his recruitment, and they couldn't afford to buy any other good players. Owen has not had enough support this season, although he is still efficient, scoring seven goals in just nine appearances, but this includes a hat-trick, and the goals are uneven, which is also his big problem. But even so, in this game, Newcastle fans are counting on him to perform well and kill his old boss.
But apparently, Newcastle fans have forgotten one thing: players kill their old owners, mostly out of resentment and disappreciation for their old owners
's resentment made them work harder in the game, run harder, play harder, and look for opportunities to kill the old master. The opposite is true for Liverpool and Owen. Liverpool has lingered and been reluctant to Owen several times, but it is Owen who has repeatedly hurt Liverpool and stabbed him repeatedly. Now that they meet, Liverpool hates him to the core, and he is not in such a mood for Liverpool.
In the game, Owen's ability is still there, but in this game, in order to guard him, Liverpool obviously increased the defensive intensity. Owen tried to attack with the ball several times, but was interrupted fiercely, which also surprised him a little that Liverpool was fierce in this game.
From the opening kick-off, he had no shortage of chances, even after a Newcastle cross, Owen dribbled straight into the box, but Carragher stopped in front of him, and when he tried to change direction to break through Carragher, Carragher made a tackle and kicked straight at his foot.
Owen jumped up to dodge the tackle and spread his hands towards Carragher, "Jimmy, are you crazy?" ”
"You went crazy first." Carragher responded, "And you're not crazy at all. ”
Owen looked at his old teammates, and at this point, he felt like he didn't even know them anymore.
These people are angry that they didn't come back to Liverpool - Owen still thinks that way in his heart - they are jealous, they hate, they hate themselves, just because they are their enemies, these people are all the same, as long as they can play well, they have nothing to say, as long as they can show a little bit of what they mean to Liverpool, they will fall to their knees again.
Themselves are Golden Globe winners, and they are nothing. Of course, the stars are privileged, they are already superior to them, and as long as they can score a goal, they can shut them up. As long as he is still scoring, the media throughout England will still regard himself as the best striker.
Owen began to adjust his movement and tried to strike again. To this point, he still believes that if he scores, he can shut up Liverpool.
But now, the ball is at Zhao Yaning's feet, and although Bowyer is pestering Zhao Yaning, he can't break the ball for a long time. Liverpool relied on their own forward pressure and controlled the ball in the second half of Newcastle, although they did not score for a long time, but still let the door guarded by Given's door be dangerous.
Liverpool's forward pass was very good, but obviously, Liverpool's luck was not too good in this game. Milito's close shè gate missed, and when Zhao Yaning broke through just now, he tripped over the grass under his feet and lost the ball out of thin air, such luck can be regarded as bad enough.
And this time, Zhao Yaning has already figured out how to play, he kicked the ball to Gerrard in the middle on the left side of the penalty area, and ran out of the penalty area, and Gerrard kicked the ball to Milito in the penalty area, and he ran to the right. His running took away the strength of the defense, and Zhao Yaning also ran to the middle at this time, Milito made the ball back, Zhao Yaning hit the goal with a strong kick and kicked the ball towards the goal!
Jiwen was helpless, but the ball hit the post, and after a bang, it bounced out again.
What a bad day it was!
Zhao Yaning complained, but at this time, the ball also fell outside the penalty area, Newcastle immediately launched a quick counterattack, relying on a long pass, the ball fell directly to the feet of Owen, Owen got the ball, immediately accelerated one step, and launched a rush again.
As long as I can still score goals, no one can laugh at me for anything.
Vidic's first block was rushed by Owen - Vidic's speed was his weakness, and he couldn't defend against a nimble and fast striker, which was also an inevitable problem for him. And Carragher was already trying to fill in at this time, but Owen was too familiar with his defense, accelerating again, impacting again, his speed and his knowledge of Carragher's defensive habits were enough to ensure that he passed Carragher! The goal was already in front of him, but Reina had already saved, Owen looked at Reina who rushed out, pushed the ball with a low flat kick, and kicked the ball towards the far post!
However, at this time, Reese, who was filling in the position, had already rushed over, and he didn't have time to turn around, so he blocked the ball out of the goal line with his own back heel!
We won't give traitors a chance to celebrate! You don't want to show off with us, even if you're a star, but we have a whole team!
Owen wanted to grab another point, but Carragher got ahead of him this time, controlled the ball, and passed it. Owen was unable to succeed in attacking, leaving the Liverpool fans cheering again.
Owen raised his head angrily, such layers of defense made him helpless. Their own skills are much better than theirs, but now, their unity really makes them helpless. When a person is in a sè team, it is difficult for him to feel the support of the people around him. Only when he loses it can he understand the value of that unity and support.
"I'm a Liverpool legend and they shouldn't treat me like that." Looking at the crowd of frantic agitation in the stands, Owen muttered to himself.
"You used to be a Liverpool legend." Carragher was next to him, correcting him, "But when you leave Liverpool, you abandon your glory. It's Liverpool who makes you, not you who makes Liverpool. Out of here, Michael Owen is nothing. And leaving Michael Owen, Liverpool is still a proud and great team! ”ω· u(8) Update the fastest reading network
