Chapter 468 You have successfully caused a shock to Ferguson (Part 1)
As Leinker said, how could Liverpool fans at the scene not feel familiar when they saw Aston Villa's goal?
In the past decade before Liverpool, there were two forward combinations that made fans remember.
One is a combination of Michael Irving and Robbie Fowler.
In 1997, Michael Irving entered Liverpool's first team and began to become popular quickly. The forward combination he and Robbie Fowler teamed up to become one of the most agile forward combinations in the mid-to-late 1990s in the Premier League.
Compared with Irving's rising, the former "God" Fowler gradually lost the trust of coach Hollier due to injury and off-court trouble. In the summer of 2000, Irving's forward partner became Husky, who joined Leicester City. Such a combination of high and fast won five championship trophys that season, missing the Premier League alone.
At this moment, I saw Husky making the ball again, and a fast guy scored the goal, which evoked memories of many Liverpool fans...
Of course, it is a bit cruel to go back to reality from memories.
", Husky passed the ball, and the fast guy cut into the penalty area and shot to score. This scene is not friendly to today's Liverpool fans." John Motterson said.
"Yes." Leinker nodded, "But, this ball is indeed very classic, but I have a problem..."
"I have a problem, too," Motson said.
"Mustafa Salif, when did it become so powerful?" said Reinker.
"After being arranged to partner with Husky on the front line, the Togo striker suddenly became we no longer know each other." Tony Parker also said with a wry smile.
John Motson laughed, "Tony, you'd better shut up today. Whoever you say can't do, will burst out immediately."
"No, no, I think Villa fans must love Tony to death now." Leinker laughed unkindly.
Fang Jue was smiling and full of energy on the sidelines.
His assistants Sebalos and Steve Warner looked at him with reverence and said compliments in his ear.
...
"Coach Fang Jue's substitution and the change in arranging Salif to play the striker will definitely become the focus of discussions in the media after the game." Leinker said.
"Then you have to wait until Aston Villa wins the game." Tony Parker was stubborn.
"Ahhh." Leinker smiled and said, "Now, Villa fans must be very grateful to you, Tony."
Tony Parker looked at Leinker, and he felt that he had something to say.
Two to three behind.
This game is behind the opponent for the third time.
Benitez finally stopped calming down and began to mobilize troops.
Babel came on as a substitute and replaced Israeli player Benardon.
Liverpool also began to launch a desperate attack on Aston Villa's goal.
Fang Jue immediately made a substitution adjustment.
Ashley Young was substituted and Sidwell came on as a substitute.
Clement and Sidwell formed a double midfielder with strong interception ability, with Clement as the main one, and Sidwell assisted.
This pair of midfielders actually curbed Liverpool's crazy offensive.
Not only that, Aston Villa's counterattack also made Liverpool frightened.
Mustafa Salif is particularly active in the front. He frequently uses his speed to attack Liverpool's defense, which makes Liverpool's defensive players look like a vegetarian.
In the 85th minute of the game, the score on the field was still three to two, and the visiting team Aston Villa led the way.
Liverpool coach Benitez has used up three substitutions, but he still has no way to break the Aston Villa goal again.
Fang Jue also made the second substitution adjustment.
Diego Costa came on as a substitute and Husky was replaced.
Boos and applause were heard above Anfield Stadium.
Some Liverpool fans still thanked the veteran who once sieged Liverpool.
...
In the next seven or eight minutes, Diego Costa stole the scene.
He first made Glen Johnson's card game.
Then there was a conflict with Carragher. If the referee hadn't shown mercy, Carragher would have been sent off for accumulating yellow cards.
Finally, in the injury time, Salif used his speed to cut the shot close to the penalty area and was saved by goalkeeper Renner, and Diego Costa's shot hit the shoulder of Liverpool player Kuyt.
Diego Costa complains about Kuyt's handball.
The players on both sides had another quarrel.
Finally, amid the harsh booing at Anfield Stadium, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game.
"The game ended, the game ended, and Liverpool lost 2-3 at home, which was really an unexpected result."
"A incredible game, Aston Villa won three to two away. Compared with this surprising victory, Mustafa Salif's two wonderful goals were even more shocking."
"Aston Villa's Togo player reminds us of Michael Michael Irving in this game. Both goals have the shadow of Irving, which will undoubtedly make it more difficult for Liverpool fans to accept."
Fang Jue politely took the initiative to find Benitez to shake hands.
He has always been very graceful, especially when winning, he is very considerate of the loser and will not wait for the other party to shake hands.
"How did you think of doing this?" Benitez first congratulated Aston Villa on winning the game, and then asked.
"What?"
"Mustafa Salif, you arrange for him to play as a striker."
"Look, you didn't expect that this is why I did this." Fang Jue winked.
Benitez glanced at the guy, then patted Fang Jue on the shoulder, and said nothing more.
He was afraid that he could not control his good temper and wanted to scold people.
...
At the post-match press conference, Benitez was besieged by reporters.
The runner-up of the league who almost won the championship last season, after the first three rounds of the league this season, Liverpool actually won only one game and lost two games.
The unbeaten record of Anfield Stadium was also broken by Aston Villa today.
This is obviously unacceptable to Liverpool's media and fans.
Benitez admitted to failure, but he refused to criticize his players, who he thought Liverpool players played well.
"We lost because our opponents played better, not because we did not do well," Benitez said.
Then, Benitez turned his finger and complained that the club's senior executives were unfavorable to sign ups.
"We lost important players, but we did not get the most appropriate supplement."
“Yes, I emphasize again that our goal is to keep the top four.”
"We didn't give up on the league championship, but it requires a lot of work."
The reporters were very excited. This was the second time that Benitez had expressed dissatisfaction with the disadvantage of signings from senior executives. They had already figured out how to hype this matter.
Fang Jue has a humble personality and he did not act like he was in trouble.
On the contrary, Fang Jue praised Benitez for being a knowledgeable tactical master, a champion coach, and a role model for him to learn from.
He also praised Liverpool, saying that Liverpool is now a small trouble, and once Liverpool solves the trouble, they are still the most favorable contenders for the Premier League championship.
"But, now Aston Villa has won three consecutive games, Liverpool has only won one game." A reporter immediately retorted.
"No, no, no, the league is 38 rounds, we just started a good start." Fang Jue waved his hand and said.
Benitez glanced at someone and said nothing.
...
At the end of the Liverpool and Aston Villa match, a focus match had just ended on another field.
The focus battle started at the Wigan Athletics stadium. In the end, the defending champion Manchester United defeated Wigan Athletic 5-0 away. Rooney scored twice and scored 101 goals for the Red Devils. Berbatov made a pass and shot, and Irving and Nani who came on the bench were icing on the cake.
Ferguson was in a very good mood. The team won the game and it was a hearty victory, which made the old man very happy.
"Is it over there in Liverpool?" Ferguson asked.
Last season, Manchester United came from behind to steal the league championship from Liverpool, which made Ferguson very proud.
However, this also made the old man more alert to his arch rival Liverpool.
This season, Ferguson still regards Liverpool as Manchester United's biggest opponent in defending league titles.
So, he is very concerned about the game situation over Liverpool.
"The game over there is also over," said McFerran. "Liverpool lost, two to three."
"Huh?" Ferguson immediately smiled, "Ha, good news."
"Don't you want to know how Aston Villa won?" said McFerran.
"Yeah?" Ferguson knew that his right-hand assistant would not say that casually, and something interesting must have happened.
"Aston Villa led three times and Liverpool equalized twice," said McFerran. "Gerard and Torres scored for Liverpool."
Ferguson glanced at Ferran and said, "Don't keep it a secret." He knew that the guy was going to talk about Aston Villa's situation.
"Desler scored the first goal for Aston Villa. In the second half, Mustafa Salif came on as a substitute and scored twice," said McFerran.
"Hey?!" Ferguson showed a surprised expression. He finally understood why Ferran emphasized Aston Villa's goal. Aston Villa had previously refused Manchester United's request to buy Abonraho, but recommended Mustafa Salif to Manchester United backhand. Ferguson looked down on Salif and refused directly. Ferran knew about this.
"Salif, that Togo man, scored twice?"
"Yes, and it is said that the two balls are very exciting." Ferran nodded.
"Carse the game video for me as soon as possible, and I will watch it when I go back." Ferguson said immediately.
