Chapter 244 Owen: I bet you have no bullets in your gun
As the game approaches, more and more fans begin to gather at Anfield Stadium. On a crowded match day, some fans will choose to order fish and chips with curry or gravy to replenish their energy before the game.
Before the game, in addition to ordering a piece of fish and chips, it is also a good choice to walk around the stadium. Take a photo with the bronze statue of Shankly. You can buy a hat, a scarf and a badge from the souvenir vendors that can be seen everywhere around the stadium.
Bill Shankly, the legendary coach of Liverpool and the founder of the English Red Army.
And on the statue of Bill Shankly erected at Anfield, the words "He makes us happy" are inscribed.
The short inscription tells why so many people are remembering the Scot this weekend.
Shankly brought Liverpool, which was struggling in the second division at the time, to the top league championship and began to dominate Europe.
Shankly has a famous saying, "Football has nothing to do with life and death, but football is higher than life and death", but this translation is easily questionable.
But the original translation of this sentence should be "Some people equate football with life and death. I am deeply disappointed. I can assure you that football is far more important than this."
His statue stands quietly at Anfield, and the phrase "You will never walk alone" that best embodies the spirit of the Liverpool team is engraved on the gate of the stadium named after him.
you'll never Walk Alone!
This is also the team anthem of Liverpool.
Next to the Hillsborough tragedy memorial in the stadium, Liverpool fans come here every day to pay their respects.
This is a football tragedy that has caused a sensation in the whole of England, and even the football world around the world.
In this tragedy, a total of 96 people were killed and more than 200 people were injured, and the 96 people who died were all Liverpool fans.
A monument engraved with the names of 96 Liverpool fans stands beside the gate of the Liverpool Stadium, standing side by side with Shankly's "You will never walk alone" on the gate.
Anfield Stadium can be said to be one of the oldest stadiums in England. The rich history gives this stadium a solemn feeling.
Putting on his sportswear, Li Mingyu and his teammates prepared to go to the court to warm up.
Among the top giants in the fully modernized stadium, only Liverpool's Anfield Stadium still maintains the original flavor of the player channel.
A sign above the players' tunnel reads "This is Anfield".
Everyone who passes through the player tunnel can see this unremarkable sign.
However, the psychological pressure of this brand on the visiting team is self-evident.
Anfield Stadium, is the famous home of hell.
In the huge KOP stands, diehard Liverpool fans will use their loudest voices to warn the visiting team that this is Anfield.
The earliest KOP stands did not have any seats, and all the fans were standing, breathing together with their home team all the time.
However, due to the frequent outbreak of stadium tragedies in that era, the FA forced Liverpool to install seats for the KOP stands.
But until now, during the game, the fans in the KOP stand will still stand in order to support the team.
When Li Mingyu walked by, like everyone else, he reached out and patted the sign on it, telling Liverpool that I'm coming.
Although this is Anfield, I am Li Mingyu.
Li Mingyu had already defeated fifteen opponents in the league and scored seven away games.
This English League Cup will be the eighth away game that Li Mingyu hopes to capture.
Walking into the Anfield stadium, the fans in the stands were already full.
Even though it is still in the warm-up stage, the Liverpool fans in the KOP stand have already begun to sing the familiar song "You will never walk alone".
"When you walk through a storm
please hold your head high
Don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of that storm is a golden sky
and lark's sweet singing
through the wind, through the rain,
Your dreams may be shattered
But move forward with the hope in your heart
you'll never Walk Alone
you'll never Walk Alone……"
It was the first time for Li Mingyu to hear this popular song live, and he could feel the fans' enthusiasm for Liverpool from the bottom of their hearts.
That's the beauty of football, that's what Liverpool are.
Manchester City and Liverpool players warm up in their respective halves.
Li Mingyu could feel that his teammates' mentality was affected by the singing of Liverpool fans.
This is the home field advantage.
After warming up, Li Mingyu and his teammates returned to Liverpool's closed visiting team lounge.
Guardiola said with a relaxed face, "Everyone, this game is not that important to us, but since we are playing, we must be worthy of the fans who came from afar, and play this game seriously. Winning or losing is not important, but make sure everyone is not injured!"
Guardiola focused his gaze on Li Mingyu who was arranging his shin guards, showing a helpless expression.
I didn't want Li Mingyu to participate in this game. At the beginning of this season, Guardiola put the League Cup and the FA Cup out of consideration.
Because the schedule of this season is too dense, for players, the chance of injury is greatly increased.
For Guardiola, no one's injury will affect the team, except for Li Mingyu, he must not have any problems.
But Li Mingyu, who has become obsessed with honor, is also very eager for the League of Legends Cup.
Guardiola clapped his hands and said, "Well, gentlemen, go and bring the victory back!"
The Manchester City players stood up and roared.
The current Manchester City team has reached the peak level of morale and combat effectiveness.
Li Mingyu has won the highest personal honor, which is also an honor for the Manchester City team.
Li Mingyu came to the player tunnel again, looked at the sign above "This is Anfield", and felt nothing in his heart.
"Friends from Tencent Sports, good evening everyone. Here is a broadcast for you of a Carabao Cup match. This is also the first time Tencent Sports has broadcast a Carabao Cup match. Because this match is against Manchester City led by Li Mingyu at the famous Anfield Stadium to challenge Liverpool, which is currently ranked third in the league."
"First of all, we would like to congratulate Li Mingyu, who has won unprecedented honors, the World Cup Champion, the World Cup Golden Globe Award, the World Cup Golden Boot Award, the World Footballer, and the Golden Globe Award. These are honors that no one has ever been able to obtain in one year."
"Li Mingyu is a Hispanic Chinese, and we are also proud of him!"
"Today's game is the third round of the English League Cup. Unfortunately, Liverpool and Manchester City have met together. This is also the only confrontation between a group of Premier League teams in the third round of the English League Cup. It is also a game to watch in this round."
"After Li Mingyu came to England, he has already defeated [-] Premier League teams in the league. Among the teams that have not played against yet, there is Liverpool. This game is also Li Mingyu's first appearance after winning the World Footballer and Golden Globe Awards."
"Fans all over the world want to see if this Mr. Double can show better form."
"Players from both sides have already entered the field. Let's take a look at the lineups of both sides."
"Liverpool played at home today in a 4-3-3 lineup. The goalkeeper is No. 1 Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson. I believe this goalkeeper should have a very deep impression on Li Mingyu. In the semi-finals, Li Mingyu completed the first hat-trick of assists in World Cup history and helped the Spanish team defeat Brazil. Alisson was the goalkeeper of the Brazilian team at that time. It must be a very hopeless feeling to see his goal being pierced by the opponent six times."
"The two central defenders are their captain Van Dijk and Ben White, who just transferred from Brighton this year, left back Robertson, and right back Arnold. Due to Van Dijk's injury last season, Liverpool's defense became weak. This season, they specially introduced Ben White, who played well in Brighton. After the fifteen rounds of the league, Liverpool's defense is indeed much stronger!"
"In midfield, the combination of Thiago, Fabinho and Curtis-Jones has worked very well together."
"The front three, Salah, Firmino, Mane's striker combination, is also the most powerful attacking trio except Manchester City."
"Liverpool is in very good form this year. After fifteen rounds of the league, they only lost to Manchester United. They are currently ranked third in the league and are gaining momentum."
"I don't know whether Liverpool can stop Manchester City in today's game, let us wait and see!"
"Let's look at Manchester City's lineup, which is also a 4-3-3 lineup, with Ederson as the goalkeeper."
"The four defenders are Kyle Walker, Stones, Laporte and Zinchenko."
"The three midfielders are defensive midfielder Rodri, and the two attacking midfielders are Gundogan and Li Mingyu."
"The three forwards are all players who have performed well in this World Cup. The left winger Sterling was rated as the best left winger in this World Cup. The right winger Ferran Torres also came off the bench in this World Cup and scored two goals. The performance is also very good. Center Jesus did not let Neymar cover up his brilliance, and he also performed very well in the World Cup."
"The attacking groups of both sides are among the best in today's world football. However, there are more or less problems in the defense lines of both sides, and there are some shortcomings of strong offense and weak defense. The key to this game is to see which side can seize the loopholes in the opponent's defense first, and which side can take the initiative!"
"The game is about to start, let's enter the Anfield Stadium and watch the third round of the Carabao Cup."
[Congratulations to the host for signing successfully at Anfield and gaining the talent of legendary Liverpool striker Michael James Owen: I bet you have no bullets in your gun. 】
Michael James Owen, arguably one of England's most gifted strikers. In the summer of France in 1998, Owen was born. In the game against Argentina, the midfielder received a pass, passed two Argentine defenders in a row, and scored the ball into the goal.
Become famous.
Since then, the title of "Chasing the Wind Boy" has accompanied Owen's career.
However, the chasing boy has a bad hobby, gambling.
Gambling consumed a lot of his energy and made his body go from bad to worse, which was eventually ruined by injuries.
But in the early days, Irving was simply a cold-blooded killer on the front line.
In the case of one-on-one facing defenders, Irving's breakthrough rate is very terrifying. His explosive power and ability to change lines suddenly have been demonstrated in the 98 World Cup.
"I bet you don't have bullets in your gun" is actually Owen's intuitive judgment of defensive players during one-on-one.
Li Mingyu was not very interested in this skill, because his ability to surpass others was already at the top level, and it was basically impossible for anyone to be able to defend against him in one-on-one.
This ability seems a bit tasteless.
But in the competition, Li Mingyu deeply felt the horror of this skill.
Manchester City kicked off first.
Li Mingyu received a return pass from Jesus and was about to pass the ball to Gundogan next to him, when he saw the opponent's center Firmino rushing towards him.
Suddenly, a judgment appeared in Li Mingyu's mind. Firmino was going to come over and cut off the pass he passed to Gundogan.
I don't know why this thought came to my mind.
Li Mingyu vigilantly pulled the ball back when he was about to pass it out.
Sure enough, in the next step, Firmino stretched out his right foot, blocking himself and Gundogan.
Damn, it turned out to be true!
Isn't that what "I bet you don't have bullets in your gun" is for?
Can see through the opponent's next move.
This is too showy!
Although Li Mingyu was excited, he still needed to judge again.
After Li Mingyu pulled the ball, he began to dribble forward quickly.
Liverpool's midfielder Fabinho rushed up.
When Li Mingyu saw Fabinho, he had a feeling in his heart that Fabinho was about to foul him.
Sure enough, when Li Mingyu was about to use fake moves to get past Fabinho, he stuck to Li Mingyu's side and brought Li Mingyu down directly.
Fouling at this position made Li Mingyu unable to continue to dribble forward, and he couldn't get a card, so why not do it?
Sitting on the ground, Li Mingyu lowered his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
What a great skill.
No wonder Owen likes to gamble, this skill really suits him!
After possessing this ability, Li Mingyu's organization and attack became even more handy.
What a powerful ability to judge the intentions of defenders!
However, this ability can only detect the intentions of the players defending him, and Li Mingyu found that this ability is not [-]% accurate, and there will be some misjudgments two or three times out of ten.
After all, it's Owen's trick. Gambling, it's not always the right bet!
