Chapter 122 Owen and Gerrard
As the game draws to a close, the atmosphere on the scene has become intense.At this point in the fight between the two sides, they were really red-eyed.

Although the weight of the League Cup is not as heavy as that of the Premier League champions, Champions League champions and FA Cup champions, it is a trophy after all. In the final, no one is willing to give up, let alone the opponent is his sworn enemy.

As far as the current situation is concerned, both sides still have hope of winning the championship, so it is even more impossible to give up.

After Owen dribbled the ball to attract three Manchester United players, he didn't shoot. Instead, he suddenly divided the football and passed it to Gerrard on the right side of the penalty area!

"Dangerous!" He Wei exclaimed.As a commentator, he has the perspective of God, and he is one step ahead of the Manchester United players on the field to discover the danger, that is Gerrard who has an excellent long shot!

Because Owen attracted fire in front, Gerrard was temporarily relaxed by the Manchester United players. He also took this opportunity to advance to the position where he shot.

Gerrard started to adjust his pace when Owen passed the ball to himself. When the football passed, he just adjusted his pace to the point where he could shoot directly, so he swung his foot and shot!

The football shot by Gerrard made an arc and went straight to the back corner!

Fortunately, Butters was very focused this time. Facing the opponent's offensive player, he had already spotted Gerrard who was going forward and was ready to save.

When Gerrard took a long shot, Butters, who was prepared, swooped sideways.

The football was firmly gripped by Butters' hands in the air, and then pressed onto the turf. Then Butters fell from the air, curled up quickly, and protected the football inside his body, avoiding the possibility of dropping it.

………………

"Butters! At this moment, he showed the level that a world-class goalkeeper should have, and made a very beautiful save! He didn't even give Liverpool a chance to make a follow-up shot! Well done!" Huang Jianqiang did not hesitate to praise himself , sent a compliment to Butters.

When the team is under siege, most of the time it is the goalkeeper's performance.If a goalkeeper can make wonderful saves repeatedly, it can greatly boost the morale and morale of the team, stabilize the defense, and make the players more confident as they defend.

From this point of view, Butters did a good job today.Although the goal he guarded fell twice, Butters cannot be blamed for that.

After the experienced Butters made a wonderful save, he didn't get up in a hurry, but lay down on the ground for a while, killing a little time reasonably, then got up, put the football on the small penalty area line, and then A big kick kicked to the front.

He saw Yin Jun jumped up to compete with the opponent's captain Hyypia, but failed.Hyypia pushed the ball back and Liverpool took advantage of the situation to launch another attack.

………………

Yin Jun, who failed to catch the ball, tried his best to return to the defense. When Gerrard retreated to catch the ball and then turned around to attack, he grabbed Gerrard's clothes with both hands, and did not let go until the referee whistled. Gerald was very upset.

As a rival team, Gerrard is very displeased with every Manchester United player.Especially Yin Jun, the newly rising genius of Manchester United, tortured him a lot when he was a guest at Anfield, and caused Liverpool to lose the game 1:3 at home. Jun was very upset.

Seeing that the other party was so shameless now, he became even more angry, and raised his hand to push Yin Jun.

Yin Jun, who had never let go of Gerrard before, sat down on the ground very simply at this time. At the same time, he did not forget to turn his head to look at the referee Durkin, and spread his hands to him.The meaning couldn't be more obvious: the referee, he pushed me!

"This ball Gerrard is very unfriendly!" He Wei said with some dissatisfaction, completely ignoring the fact that Yin Jun had Gerrard's jersey first.

As a Chinese commentator, He Wei of course helped his compatriot Yin Jun speak.

Liverpool's die-hard beauty fan commentator, Kirsty Gallagher, scolded Yin Jun: "Foul first and then flop! You don't learn well at a young age!"

………………

The stands of Cardiff Millennium Stadium were booed a lot, but it was hard to distinguish which of these boos were for Gerrard who pushed people, and which ones were for Yin Jun who fouled.

Gerrard saw Yin Jun looking at the referee after he fell to the ground, how could he not understand his mind?

But just because he understood, he became even angrier, and wanted to rush up and have a good argument with Yin Jun at that time-you fouled me and you still want to fuck me? !
But Owen, who was next to him, also reacted quickly. He grabbed Gerald and persuaded him, "Calm down, Steven! He lured you over on purpose!"

After hearing what his good friend said, Gerald calmed down and didn't insist on going to trouble Yin Jun.

After the referee Durkin came up, he first gave Yin Jun a yellow card. Such an obvious intentional pull, not giving a yellow card is not enough to convince the crowd.

He then turned around and gave Gerrard another yellow card on the grounds that he retaliated against pushing someone.

Gerrard's eyes widened when he saw the yellow card, and Owen suddenly felt that Gerrard in front of him was like a wire-haired fox terrier desperately trying to break free from the rein, which made him almost miss it.

Owen held Gerrard desperately, and shouted loudly: "Calm down! Calm down! Steven! Don't trouble the referee! Be sure to calm down, the game is still a draw, we still have hope, but if you are sent off That's it, we're really done!"

………………

Leading twice and being equalized twice, Liverpool certainly cannot accept this result. After the game was interrupted and restarted, Liverpool's players launched an attack on Manchester United's goal.

This time, when Gerrard got the ball outside the penalty area, he ignored the signal from his teammate in a better position, but took a long shot himself.

This long-range shot like venting anger poured all his strength into it, flew high over the crossbar, and went straight to the stands behind the goal.

Owen was very dissatisfied with Gerrard's shot. Even if the two had a good relationship in private, he couldn't help yelling at Gerrard at this time: "What are you doing, Steven?!"

After the shot, Gerrard also calmed down. It seemed that he was kicked into the stands with the football full of anger. He quickly raised his hand to apologize to Owen.

Although Owen is not the captain of Liverpool, as the winner of the European Ballon d'Or two years ago, Owen has great influence in the UK.Especially in this Liverpool team, he is the absolute boss.

Gerrard's historical status in Liverpool will be higher than that of Owen in the future, but for now, he is only Owen's younger brother.The two are both from the Liverpool youth academy. They have played and trained together since they were young, and they have a good relationship.But because Owen became famous earlier and was older, he is a role model for Gerrard.

Seeing that Gerrard admitted his mistake very simply, Owen couldn't continue to pester him, and signaled him to play hard.
