football killer

Chapter 85 Evening
"Damn it." Houllier couldn't help cursing when he saw Maxlett carrying the ball on the court and was once again cut off by Chelsea defender Gallas.

"The winter break transfer market is coming, it seems that it's time to change blood." Houllier watched the situation on the field with his eyes fixed, while thinking secretly in his heart.During this period of time, Maxlett's performance has been very bad, and it can even be said that his state has declined sharply, which also made Maxlett included in the purge list by Houllier.

To know a team, unless Maxlett is a player who came out of Liverpool's youth training camp and has been in Liverpool for a long time, otherwise, when Maxlett performs very badly like he is now, it is inevitable that he will be purged by the club.

"It seems that Maxlett's fate is my fate. Now that I am in a good state, should I also consider retiring!" When Redknapp on the bench saw Houllier looking at Maxlett's eyes, he had already found out that Maxlett might not be able to stay in Liverpool after the winter break.

Thinking of this, Redknapp also thought that he is getting older and his state is gradually declining. Although he is the captain of the team, I am afraid that one day he will inevitably face the situation of being purged by the club like Maxlett.

Thinking of this, Redknapp secretly decided that after the end of this season at the latest, he would also leave Liverpool.Because Redknapp doesn't want himself to be purged by the club like Maxlett, and he chooses to leave if he wants to leave, and he leaves in a good manner.

If Houllier knew that he had a look in his eyes and let the team captain, Redknapp make this decision, I am afraid he would regret it to death.Because Redknapp is not only the captain of the team, but also the most popular player in the entire team, except for Irving.With Redknapp also leaving Liverpool at that time, the dissatisfaction and opinions of the fans must be great.

It's a pity that Houllier didn't know all this. He just stood on the sidelines, calmly watching the situation on the field, and at the same time thinking about how to get the team out of the current deadlock.

In the 39th minute, Gerrard used his strong body to squeeze away Lampard who was dribbling the ball in a very brutal way, snatched the ball and passed it to Hamann behind him. At the same time, he also began to rush towards Chelsea's penalty area.

After receiving Gerrard's pass, Harman paused for a while, looked at the situation on the field, and finally passed the ball directly with a large foot, and handed the ball to Murphy, who was unguarded on the right side of the field.

Murphy rushed towards the baseline with the ball, and at this time, Chelsea's defender Gallas also began to rush towards Murphy, trying to break the ball.

Murphy, who was carrying the ball, suddenly made an emergency stop to open the gap, and immediately made a pass. The ball turned into a beautiful arc and landed on Owen's head.Although Owen's height is not very high, and he is not very proficient in headers, but the nature of the striker killer also made Owen subconsciously make a header.

At a distance of less than four meters, Cudicini jumped up vigorously, rubbed the ball with his fingertips, causing the ball to change direction, slowly rolled out of the baseline, and Liverpool won a corner kick.

"Oh~ Great save, Cudicini is telling Liverpool in his own way that it is impossible to break through Chelsea's gate."

The commentator explained enthusiastically, and at the same time kept praising Cudicini who had just made a world-class throw.At the same time, across the Stamford Bridge Stadium, tens of thousands of Chelsea fans applauded, giving the applause to Cudicini who made a wonderful save.

With Owen's regretful expression on his face, Cudicini quickly got up from the ground and let out a loud roar to vent his excitement.Although Irving's header just now was not very powerful and the angle was not too tricky, the victory lies in the short distance.If it weren't for Cudicini's quick reaction just now, I am afraid Owen's header has already scored this time. Cudicini is of course very excited to be able to make such a wonderful save.

"Come on, don't let them make such an easy cross." As the captain of Chelsea, Desailly shouted loudly at his team.

Desailly is in a hurry. It was because of his team's luck just now. No one can guarantee Owen's attack like Irving just now. Cudicini can save every time. When it comes to the reason, it's not all because his team's defense is not tight enough, so that Liverpool can easily pass from the bottom.

Murphy's corner kick was directly grabbed by Desailly in front of Owen and pushed out of the penalty area. Lampard grabbed the ball and began to rush towards the Liverpool penalty area, ready to impress a new round of offense.

Owen looked depressedly at Desailly at the side, you are 1 meters tall, you have to defend against people of Hypia's height, what are you doing against yourself.While depressed, Owen also had to lament that Desailly was able to get the nickname "The Rock", so his strength should not be underestimated.

Desailly was also depressed. He looked at his French compatriot, Gallas, who was indeed capable, but he had a bad temper. At the same time, he seldom paid attention to the situation on the court.

But this kind of nostalgic thought just disappeared in Desailly's mind in an instant, because Desailly saw a young player on the bench of his team, and the serious Desailly couldn't help showing a smile.

"This kid has been taught by me and LeBoeuf. I believe his future achievements will definitely be greater than mine. Now this kid is still young and can only be used as a substitute, but this kid already has the potential to grow into a world star. After all, this kid is the successor of the next generation of leaders of the Blue Army that I specially trained. I believe this kid will not let me down."

Thinking of this, Desailly put aside those thoughts in his head and began to concentrate on the game. And Desailly just saw the young player on the bench, who is the future soul and captain of the Blues: John Terry.

Seeing that there is really no way to enter Liverpool's penalty area, Lampard can only take a long-range shot helplessly, hoping that the ball can hit a certain player again and pass the sound to change the line and drill into the net, although this chance is not great.

The ball finally hit Henkez's foot and was bounced out. Riise rushed to clear the siege before Lampard was about to take a second shot.

Because it was a hasty clearance, Riise's pass was not purposeful, but simply passed to the midfield to relieve the danger in front of Liverpool's goal.In the end, Litmanen got the ball. Looking at the surrounding situation, he pierced the entire Chelsea defense with a scalpel-like through ball and passed it diagonally to Owen.

Relying on his own speed advantage, Owen caught up with the ball in an instant, and at this time, Owen was already above the penalty area line.Gallas rushed over to make a clearance and hit the goal directly.

This time Cudicini's magical slam did not happen. Although Cudicini reacted quickly and made a slam, it is a pity that Owen's shot was fast and tricky this time. He drilled into the net from the intersection of the crossbar and goal post on the right side of the goal, a theoretical dead corner.

"Coooooooal!!! Michael Owen. A blind spot that leaves our Cudicini helpless."

Seeing Owen's goal, although the commentator was very unhappy and didn't look like a commentator, but the professional ethics made the commentator have to talk, but compared with the excited tone when Zola scored just now, this time The tone is listless.

No matter what the commentator said, or what the Chelsea players and fans thought, after scoring the goal, Owen rushed to Litmanen who passed the ball to him with a smile on his face.Indeed, Litmanen's contribution to this goal is definitely not small. It was Litmanen's through ball that tore through Chelsea's entire defense line, allowing Owen to have a single-handed shot.
