Chapter 474 You Successfully Shocked Ferguson (Part 2)

As Lineker said, how could the Liverpool fans at the scene not feel familiar when they saw Aston Villa's goal?

In the more than ten years before Liverpool, there were two striker combinations that fans remembered.

One is the combination of Michael Owen and Robbie Fowler.

In 1997, Michael Owen entered the Liverpool first team and quickly became popular. The striker combination he and Robbie Fowler joined forces became one of the most aura striker combinations in the mid-to-late 1990s in the Premier League.

Compared with Irving's rise, the former "God" Fowler gradually lost the trust of coach Houllier due to injuries and off-court troubles. In the summer of 2000, Irving's striker partner became Husky, who joined from Leicester City. This combination of one high and one fast won five championship trophies for Liverpool that season, only missing the Premier League.

At this time, seeing Heskey play the ball again, a fast guy scored a goal, which brought back memories for many Liverpool fans...

Of course, returning from memory to reality is a bit cruel.

"WOW, Husky passed the ball, and the fast guy cut into the penalty area and scored. This scene is not friendly to today's Liverpool fans." John Mortensen said.

"Yes." Lineker nodded, "But, this ball is indeed very classic, but I have a question..."

"I have a question, too," Mortensen said.

"Mustafa Salif, when did you become so powerful?" Lineker said.

"After being arranged to partner with Husky as a striker, the Togolese striker suddenly became unknown to us." Tony Parker also said with a wry smile.

John Mortensen laughed loudly, "Tony, you'd better shut up today. Whoever you say can't do it will explode immediately."

"No, no, I think Villa fans must love Tony now." Lineker laughed unkindly.

Fang Jue was smiling all over his face on the sidelines, full of spirits.

His assistant Ceballos and Steve Warner looked at him with admiration and whispered compliments in his ear.

...

"Coach Fang Jue's substitution and the change of arranging Salif to play forward will definitely become the focus of discussion in the media after the game." Lineker said.

"That will have to wait for Aston Villa to win the game." Tony Parker insisted.

"Aha," Lineker said with a smile. "The Villa fans must be thankful to you now, Tony."

Tony Parker looked at Lineker, and he felt he had an MMP to say.

Two to three behind.

For the third time in the game, he fell behind his opponent.

Benitez finally stopped being calm, and he began to dispatch troops.

Babel came off the bench, he replaced the Israeli player Benayoun.

Liverpool also started a desperate attack on Aston Villa's goal.

Fang Jue also immediately made substitutions and adjustments.

Ashley Young was substituted and Sidwell came on as a substitute.

Clement and Sidwell form a double defensive midfielder with strong interception ability, with Clement as the main player and Sidwell as the assistant.

This pair of midfielder partners managed to contain Liverpool's crazy offensive.

Not only that, but Aston Villa's counterattack also made Liverpool frightened.

Mustafa Salif was particularly active in the front. He frequently used his speed to attack Liverpool's defense, which made Liverpool's defensive players like grass and trees.

In the 85th minute of the game, the score was still 3-2, with the visiting team Aston Villa taking the lead.

Liverpool coach Benitez has used up three substitutions, but still has not been able to find a way to break the Aston Villa goal again.

Fang Jue also made a second substitution adjustment.

Diego Costa comes on as a substitute, Heskey is substituted.

There were boos and applause over Anfield.

Some Liverpool fans still thanked the veteran who had conquered the city for Liverpool.

...

In the next seven or eight minutes, it was Diego Costa who stole the scene.

He first created Glenn Johnson's eating card.

Then there was a conflict with Carragher. If it weren't for the referee's mercy, Carragher would have been sent off with a red card for accumulating yellow cards.

Finally, in stoppage time, Salif took advantage of his speed to shoot close to the penalty area and was saved by goalkeeper Reina. Diego Costa's shot hit the shoulder of Liverpool player Didier Dirk.

Diego Costa complained about Dirk's handball.

Players from both sides quarreled again.

Finally, amidst the cacophony of boos at Anfield, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"The game is over, the game is over, Liverpool lost 2-3 at home, it was an unexpected result."

"An unbelievable game, Aston Villa won 3-2 away, this astonishing win, with two brilliant goals from Mustafa Salif. People are shocked."

"Aston Villa's Togo player reminded us of Michael Owen in this game. Both goals have Owen's shadow, which will undoubtedly make it harder for Liverpool fans to accept."

Fang Jue politely approached Benitez to shake hands.

He has always been very personable, especially when he wins, he is very considerate of the loser and will not wait for the opponent to shake hands.

"How did you think of doing this?" Benitez first congratulated Aston Villa on the win, and then asked.

"what?"

"Mustafa Salif, you arrange him to play forward."

"Look, you didn't expect it at all, that's why I did this." Fang Jue winked.

Benitez glanced at this guy, then patted Fang Jue on the shoulder, without saying anything.

He was afraid that he could not control his good temper and wanted to curse.

...

At the press conference after the game, Benitez was besieged by reporters.

The league runner-up who almost won the championship last season, after the first three rounds of the league this season, Liverpool only won one game and lost two games.

The unbeaten record at Anfield was also broken by Aston Villa today.

This is obviously unacceptable to Liverpool's media and fans.

Benitez conceded defeat, however, refusing to criticize his players, who he believes are playing well.

"We lost because the opponent played better, not because we didn't do well," Benitez said.

Subsequently, Benitez turned around and complained that the club's senior signings were not good.

"We lost important players, but we didn't get the most suitable replacements."

"Yes, again, our aim is to keep the top four."

"The league title, we're not giving up, but, it's a lot of work."

The reporters were very excited. This is the second time that Benitez has expressed dissatisfaction with the high-level signings. They have already figured out how to hype this matter.

Fang Jue's character is humble, and he didn't make any moves to add insult to injury.

On the contrary, Fang Jue complimented Benitez, praising him as a knowledgeable tactical master, a champion coach, and a role model for him to learn from.

He also praised Liverpool, saying that Liverpool is a small trouble now. Once Liverpool solves the trouble, they are still the most favorable contenders for the Premier League title.

"However, now Aston Villa has won three games in a row, and Liverpool has only won one game." A reporter immediately refuted.

"No, no, there are thirty-eight rounds in the league, we just made a good start." Fang Jue waved his hands repeatedly.

Benitez glanced at someone and said nothing.

...

At the end of the match between Liverpool and Aston Villa, on another field, a focus battle had just ended.

The focus of this match was fought at Wigan Athletic's DW Stadium. In the end, the defending champion Manchester United beat Wigan Athletic 5-0 away. Rooney scored twice for the Red Devils and scored 101 goals. Berbatov made a contribution. Owen and Nani coming off the bench were the icing on the cake.

Ferguson was in a very good mood. The team won, and it was a hearty victory, which made the old man very happy.

"Is it over at Liverpool?" Ferguson asked.

Last season, Manchester United came from behind and snatched the league title from Liverpool, which made Ferguson very proud.

However, this also made the old man more wary of rival Liverpool.

This season Ferguson still regards Liverpool as the biggest opponent of Manchester United's defending league title.

Therefore, he is very concerned about the game situation at Liverpool.

"The game over there is also over." Mike Phelan said, "Liverpool lost, two to three."

"Huh?" Ferguson laughed immediately, "Ha, good news."

"Don't you want to know how Aston Villa won?" Mike Phelan said.

"Huh?" Ferguson knew that his right-hand man would not say that casually, so something interesting must have happened.

"Aston Villa led three times and Liverpool equalized twice," said Mike Phelan. "Gerrard and Torres scored for Liverpool."

Ferguson took a look at Phelan, meaning don't keep it secret, he knew that this guy wanted to talk about Aston Villa's situation.

"Deisler scored the first goal for Aston Villa. In the second half, Mustafa Salif came off the bench and scored twice," Mike Phelan said.

"Huh?!" Ferguson showed a surprised expression. He finally understood why Phelan emphasized Aston Villa's goals. Mustafa Salif, Ferguson looked down on Salif and directly refused, Ferran knew about it.

"Salif, that Togolese man, scored twice?"

"Yes, and it is said that the two goals are very exciting." Phelan nodded.

"As soon as possible, sort out the game video and give it to me. I'll watch it when I get back." Ferguson said immediately.

"Okay, Alex." Mike Phelan nodded. He knew that Ferguson had always been dissatisfied with the striker. Although Manchester United won the game five to zero, this did not make the old man completely worried about the striker. put it down.
