At this moment, Benitez was smiling happily and proudly on the sidelines!

Now who else cares about Michael Owen, who is thin and short and often injured at Anfield?

Younger, stronger, more handsome and more lethal new golden boy Fernando Torres has completely taken the place of the former Wind-Chasing Teenager at Anfield. The so-called fan feelings and reluctant memories will be no longer worth mentioning in the face of Torres' endless goals...... As long as he can bring victory to the KOPs, even if he drives out Gerrard one day, Benitez is very confident that he will be able to rule firmly at Anfield!

And at this moment, the broadcast camera unsurprisingly gave Benitez and the madman Lee a close-up of two or three seconds respectively, and the smile of the Spanish coach and the coldness of the Chinese coach formed a distinct visual impact in an instant!

…… on the field.

The ~~~~~ whistle sounded.

After three minutes of frantic celebration by the Liverpool players, the game finally went on!

However, the scene began to get dull.

Perhaps because they were frightened by the fact that Liverpool had scored two goals in a row in two consecutive attacks, Newcastle's attack became less sharp than it had just started, and they began to patiently fall in central midfield - Alan Smith dropped back to Joey Barton's position to help the red card professional help defence. Duff and Juan Mata were also present on either side of the side of the flank from time to time to assist Jose Enrique and Habibie in limiting Liverpool's wide attacks.

The Magpies have adopted an ultra-conservative strategy of defending and retreating across the board!

And Liverpool's initiative on the field has caused the KOPs in the stands to fall into wave after wave of **, and after a short period of adaptation to the game, Liverpool fans have not hesitated to send boos exclusive to Anfield's enemies, even when Michael Owen gets the ball.

The rupture manifests itself at this moment. Because whatever the reason, when Owen decided to leave Anfield three years ago, it was destined that this would happen sooner or later.

…… On the sidelines!

Li Tongfan looked at the passivity on the scene, quite helpless.

You must know that in football, if you are just tired of defense, you will definitely fall into inferiority and passivity, and it is very likely that the team will collapse because you can't support the opponent's unscrupulous attack...... But Newcastle had to do so at this time.

Because, in the Liverpool midfield position, there is a man known as a passing expert - Xavi Alonso.

Although the Spanish midfielder's defensive ability in the midfield position can only be regarded as average, his long-range dispatch and long balls are definitely among the best in world football. Even to a certain extent, Alonso's existence is the same as David Beckham in the era of Li Tongfan invincible Real Madrid a year ago - the "passing expert" sits in the backfield like a cannonball feeder to continuously deliver gunpowder to Gerrard in the frontcourt, plus he has Mascherano by his side to escort the top beast waist, so he doesn't have to be distracted to defend, and for a time he firmly suppressed Newcastle's midfield to the point of immobility!

Nenitez's tactics are very similar in nature to the 4-1-2-1-2 adopted by Lee Tongfan during the Real Madrid era, except that the Spaniard wisely sacrificed the central midfield of the formation and allowed Alonso and Mascherano to "merge" to form a force no less powerful than Beckham, who was modified by FM-MM at the time.

It is no exaggeration to say that Benitez's tactics have 60 or 70 percent of the strength of "Madrid Terror" during last season's mythical season. It was no surprise that the Reds were able to beat Manchester United and defeat Chelsea in the big four minor leagues this season.

And this is a clear proof of how much a midfielder with the ability to pass the ball can be to the team's tactics and strength! So, if Newcastle want to make a difference next season, they will have to do everything possible to find such a player.

Today at Anfield, Newcastle's passive presence at Anfield strengthened Lee's determination to find a super "ammunition conveyor" for the Magpies next season. But looking at European football, there are too few players with such ability, Barcelona's Xavi, Real Madrid's David Beckham, AC Milan's Andrea Pirlo, Chelsea's Ballack and Frank Lampard...... Such players are all the baby bumps of their respective clubs, and trying to dig them up with the fame and financial resources of Newcastle is tantamount to a toad who wants to eat swan meat and talk in his dreams.

The peak star who was in his playing year couldn't be abducted, so Lao Li had to look for it from the veteran and Xiao Zhengtai.

And at this moment, I'm afraid that no one in Anfield's more than 50,000 people can believe that when Newcastle is down 0:2 and the scene is precarious, the crazy Lee as the head coach of the Magpies has already started planning for the team lineup next season!

…… In the 30th minute, Liverpool made another killing chance!

Again, Xavi Alonso was the first to move wide after receiving a pass from Mascherano.

Dutch engineer forward Kuyt drew Steven Taylor's attention, while Fernando Torres looked comfortable against another centre-back, A. Faye, as the new golden boy jumped high in the Newcastle penalty area and flicked his blond hair back to Steven Gerrard, who didn't know where to swim in the middle.

Gerrard shook off Joey Barton's press with a stop-ball move, adjusted his footwork and shot angrily!

Bang!!

The soccer ball dragged an invisible white tail in the air like an angry cannonball, and lightning struck the goal!

“…… gooooooooooooal…… Gerrard!! Gerrard!! Gela ...... Whew, God? Didn't score this goal? Newcastle goalkeeper Given's reaction speed is too fast, which is simply not the ability of human beings to adapt! He managed to lift the ball over the crossbar...... Alas, a corner! ”

On the commentary seat.

Anfield's on-the-spot commentator couldn't wait to shout the slogan of the goal the moment Gerrard shot, but who could have guessed that such an absolute world wave shot would be incredibly denied by the Irishman Given...... The old man could only beat his chest in frustration.

He and all Liverpool fans know that while a two-goal lead is safe against Newcastle, it doesn't look so safe when Newcastle have a man in front of the dugout who has been called Crazy Lee. Because, since the so-called "God on the sidelines" of the magic guy was able to use two middle fingers to break down Jose Mourinho's Stamford Bridge in the last minute, it seems that the Anfield defence will not be able to keep the KOPs firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.

On the field!

Gerard, the soul of the Red Army, also stared at Givens with his mouth wide open and stared at Givens in disbelief for three or four seconds before rubbing his short wet hair with both hands and reluctantly turning back...... Gerrard thought he was going to score after that shot just now, it was a very mysterious sense of foreknowledge after a top player shot, who knows...... Terrible Jivin!

Gerald had a strange feeling that even Reina, the door god on his side, couldn't do that...... On the sidelines!

A smile finally appeared on Li Tongfan's face that had been tense, and it seemed that after the FM-mm modification, Jiwen's [reaction] ability had really reached the point of perversion. Newcastle don't need to worry about goalkeepers for at least the next few years!

…… Anfield's boos and cheers continued.

However, until the end of the first half, due to Newcastle's dead face and defending with all their might in their own half, coupled with the Magpies goalkeeper Jivan possessed by God, the Reds Liverpool tried their best and failed to score for the third time.

Force-Force-Force~~~~ When the referee blew the whistle for the suspension of the rematch, Anfield once again erupted in a hurricane-like cheering frenzy. The fans were cheering for the Reds' flawless performance in the first half.

Players on the sidelines of the tunnel.

The spirited Benitez stood there with a rare pat on the back of every Liverpool player who walked past him, and even gave him a warm hug to the golden boy Torres, then gave a defiant glance at Newcastle's command bench before being the last to enter the tunnel.

…… Fifteen minutes into the break, the big electronic screen over Anfield kept replaying the two goals of Fernando Torres just now!

A header!

One shot into the empty goal!

The two goals exemplified the Spanish striker's ability to run and take chances, as he was affectionately called "Holy Child" by KOPs. Such a fiery and terrifying state is not much worse than Michael Irving's state at his peak.

Of the fifteen minutes, Torres' goal replay lasted at least ten minutes.

So much so that when referee Andre Marriner blew the whistle for the opening whistle of the second half, both Liverpool fans and Newcastle supporters in the stands were able to replay the full picture of those two goals in their minds with their eyes closed!

The game continues.

The cheers of the KOPs proved that they were still looking forward to seeing another golden boy in the second half. And the golden boy did not disappoint them, and soon scored a goal!

But unfortunately, this golden boy is not the other golden boy!

The goal was scored by Michael Owen of the old King!

In the 46th minute of the game, when Michael Owen appeared at the back of the Liverpool goal like a ghost drifting in the middle of the night in the horrified expressions of Liverpool fans, jumping on the spot and unceremoniously smashing the 45-degree diagonal pass from Juan Mata near the penalty area into the empty goal behind the Red Army goalkeeper Reina, who made a mistake, Anfield was silent!

After being silent for forty-five minutes, the golden boy showed his snow-white fangs in less than a minute into the second half, and the blow was fatal!

1：2！

What Anfield feared the most, finally happened!

Red Army Exclusion Zone.

Mascherano stared blankly at Michael Owen, who ran to Juan Mata's side to hug and celebrate, his eyes full of incredible shock: "Just ...... What's going on here? A second ago, he was just holding this attackless guy firmly behind him...... But why did he appear behind the goal in the next second? Hair...... What's going on? ”

And on the sidelines.

Benitez's somewhat smug smile froze on his flickering cheeks before it could fully bloom.

Irving's goal was so similar to Fernando Torres' lightning strike in the 56th second of the first half - time!

Place!

How to score!

Just the same!!

Watching Michael Owen on the green field and waving his fist demonstratively in front of the coach's bench after celebrating with his teammates, Benitez could only choose to remain silent for a moment.

Fools know who that fist is waving for!

However, the smile on the face of the Spanish coach quickly melted: "The game is not over yet, and it is still me who is ahead." Newcastle, Crazy Lee...... Ha, the lineup is not as good as me, the strength of the players is not as good as mine, the tactical changes are not as good as mine, the fans are not as strong as me, even ...... Even the referee's decision was biased in my favour because of Anfield...... What are you fighting with me?
