Chapter 483 Liverpool's Mr. Golden Ball
All football fans know that Premier League players are the hardest footballers in the world.When other leagues entered the Christmas and New Year truce, the teams in the Premier League ushered in the Boxing Day battle.
All major British newspapers published before the game analyzed the match between Liverpool and Newcastle in the sports section, and agreed that Liverpool coach Benitez invited Owen to rejoin Liverpool as a kind of psychological warfare before the game.
"Mirror" reported that Benitez admitted that he very much hopes that Owen will return to Liverpool, and Liverpool fans are also very much looking forward to Owen's return.Benitez said that he appreciates Irving's sense of goal very much. A forward like Irving will be a player that every club desires.
"Yes, I would like him to come back to Liverpool. Maybe one day in the future, that might happen, why not?"
"Mirror" also analyzed that Irving will definitely score at Anfield. After all, this is Irving's blessed land.
When Owen was abandoned by Real Madrid, none of the four major Premier League giants Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool really extended a helping hand.Especially the old club Liverpool's attitude is cold, Owen is bound to use goals to make his old club swallow the bitter fruit.
Owen's remarks in an interview with The Sun seemed to respond positively to Benitez's statement.
Owen believes that Liverpool still lacks good forwards. Despite Crouch's hard work, Liverpool's attack power is relatively poor now.Although Owen did not make it clear that he would come back to strengthen Liverpool's offense, but the foreshadowing of future remarks has been laid.
Owen has played 8 times for the Magpies this season and scored 7 goals.Almost an average of one goal per game, such a high scoring rate is indeed the envy of other teams.
Robbie is a Liverpool fan, although his seat is a bit out of the way.But compared to other fans who can only sit in ordinary or neutral stands, he has a lifetime season ticket for the KOP stand at Anfield, which is beyond the reach of many emerging Liverpool fans.
From the generation of old Robbie, the Robbie family has been a loyal fan of Liverpool.
The old Robbie died of lung cancer the year before, and he did not see Liverpool break into the Champions League again before his death, which made the Robbie family extremely sad.
Now, the old Robbie has bad legs and feet and can only sit in a wheelchair to learn about the game through TV; Robbie brought the younger Robbie to Anfield to cheer for the home team with the expectations of his family on his back.
For decades, every time Liverpool played at home, the KOP stands were packed.Even if the parties cannot come to the scene for various reasons, they will entrust their family and friends to come to Anfield to cheer for the team.
Robbie is such a fan. Their family has not missed a Liverpool home game for 50 years!
As a witness of Owen's Golden Globe Award in 01, Robbie not only loves Liverpool deeply, but also has an incomparable obsession with the golden boy Owen!He is the group of senior Liverpool fans who most believe that Owen can "return".
"Wherever he goes, he is the golden boy of Liverpool!" Robbie proudly boasted to others before the game, "When he graduated from the FA Royal Academy, I was the one who took their graduation photos. Woolen cloth!"
This incident became Robbie's capital to show off. In fact, he was just giving the photographer a hand.For example, he moved all the stools when taking pictures.
Out of love and obsession with Irving, from the beginning of the game, every time Irving got the ball, Robbie would cheer happily.
Even Owen, who appeared at Anfield today, was wearing an unfamiliar jersey.
In fact, KOPs like Robbie are not in the minority.Every time Irving took the ball, fans in twos and threes stood up in the KOP stands and cheered for Irving.
"Michael with the ball!"
"Michael cuts in!!"
"Markle shoots!!!"
"Oh! It's wonderful! You are indeed our golden boy!"
Such cheers naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the other KOPs in the stands.
"Hey, brother, is it wrong for you to do this? Why are you cheering for your opponent?"
Robbie turned his head, and there was a fat man in a beige vest and sunglasses standing behind him on the left.
"What's wrong? I don't see what's wrong!"
"You're cheering for the Newcastle players, of course it's inappropriate!" the fat man said dissatisfied.
"Hey, brother, do you know who that person is?" Robbie said with disdain on his face, "I really don't know how you are sitting here, don't you even know Michael Owen? You know what he did for Liverpool How much contribution, how many championship trophies did it bring?"
"Of course I know"
Before the fat man finished speaking, Robbie interrupted him first, "Since you know, then shut your mouth. Irving is definitely the top striker in the world. He will return to Liverpool this winter. What's wrong with cheering him?"
"But he is now."
"Now what? The winter transfer is coming soon, I can guarantee it. As soon as the winter window opens, Benitez will buy him immediately! No matter what the price!"
"What? This... I haven't heard of this news!" William was surprised.
After going through it in his mind, he found that he had not heard such rumors from Liverpool officials, and his expression became even more puzzled.
"Now you heard it!" Robbie raised his chin, as if Liverpool was owned by his family.
Seeing Robbie's affirmative expression, William was even more puzzled.He only heard that Benitez fell in love with former Barcelona winger and now Benfica's offensive core Simao, but he didn't hear any news about buying Irving back.
If Liverpool wanted to buy Irving back, they would have done so this summer.And Irving will not hesitate to sign with his old club, there is no need to go to Newcastle to wear the No. 10 jersey.
Just as William was thinking, Robbie yelled again!
"Michael, Michael!"
Owen on the court just fell down at the top of the arc in Liverpool's penalty area, and didn't have any other highlights.But just like this, Robbie couldn't bear the excitement.
William shook his head. In his opinion, Robbie and his group are simply crazy!
Every small move of Irving will be infinitely magnified. For those KOPs who haven't seen Irving playing at Anfield for a long time, this is simply a huge attraction.
"Hey, brother, can you stop shouting?" William frowned, "If it weren't for the clothes you are wearing, I would have thought you were a Magpie fan. Why are you so excited? Do you want to see the opponent break Liverpool? goal?"
"Farke, what are you talking about? How could I want my opponent to score Liverpool's goal? Is your head kicked by a donkey? Or was it eaten by the president of the United States? You kind of come here and let me knock your head off. Coconut (describes head), look what's inside!"
Hearing Robbie's poisonous tongue, William was dumbfounded for a while.
Originally, he was not good at words, but when Robbie's machine-gun-like mouth suddenly popped up, he immediately didn't know what to say.
"Oh! Michael, go Michael!" Seeing Owen dribbling the ball on the side, Robbie shouted again.
William looked helpless. He knew that this guy was so contradictory, but he didn't know what to say.And it's not just Robbie, but also some other fans around him.
They not only cheered for Liverpool's attack, but also cheered for Owen's wonderful performance, which is a scene that has not been seen in the KOP stands for decades.
Liverpool has the most loyal fans in the world, and other voices can be heard from the KOP stands, which has never happened in a hundred years.
It's just that these "heretics" don't admit that they are applauding the Magpies, they are just Michael Owen's personal fans.
These people's brains are broken!William really wants to slap these lunatics and make them sober: Irving is no longer a Liverpool player.
Gradually, these Irving loyalists aroused the dissatisfaction of other KOPs in the stands.But they still have the attitude of "everyone is drunk and I am alone", thinking that other people's love for Liverpool is not deep enough compared to themselves.
"Son, did you see that? If Michael breaks through the ball, it will definitely be a wonderful breakthrough!" Robbie was excited and reminded Robbie to stand with him.
"No, Dad, if Steven doesn't break the ball, then Tom is in danger!" Little Robbie was wearing a red robe and a baseball cap on his head.Although standing in the rain with his father, he didn't agree with Robbie's words.
"Son, what are you talking about? Didn't you tell me that you want to become a star like Michael?" The situation on the court was very anxious, and Robbie didn't even turn his head when talking to his son.
"I said it was true, but now my idol has become Tom!" Little Robbie muttered in a low voice, but was overshadowed by the cheers of other fans.
"Hey, where are you from? Can you stop yelling? If you keep yelling, I'll call security!"
More and more KOPs joined the army of "anti-Owen fans", and the KOP stands became chaotic.
Little Robbie puffed his cheeks and stood aside with his mouth pouting, showing no intention of supporting his father.
"Didn't you see? That's Michael! It's our golden boy! Our golden boy is back, are you going to receive him in this way?"
"Farke! Of course I know he is Michael. But I also know that he left us when the team was most in danger, and he is not even a Liverpool player now!"
"You ungrateful guy! Did you forget the Treble? Did you forget the Ballon d'Or?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten, Michael's contribution to Liverpool has always been in my heart! But I haven't forgotten that he is not wearing a red jersey now, but black and white! You tell me when Anfield became black and white ?”
Just as the noise in the KOP stands gradually escalated, Owen and Tang Wu both fell in the penalty area.
In an instant, the KOPs who were still arguing the last second became silent.Everyone stared at Liverpool's penalty area with wide eyes, worry written all over their faces.
Whether it's Tang Wu or Owen, the KOPs will be very distressed when they see anyone get hurt.
At this time, even the most critical fans stopped speaking out to explain their remarks. Many people put their hands together on their chests and prayed for the two.
Ten seconds, 30 seconds, 45 seconds
Time ticked by, and every second seemed like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of the KOPs.
Then Owen stood up.
A small group of KOPs breathed a sigh of relief, and the golden boy is fine!
But more KOPs still held their hearts in their throats and looked at Tang Wu in Gerrard's arms.
How is Tom?
Are there any injuries?
Does it matter?
Do you want to delay the next game?
"Oh, God, there must be nothing wrong with Tom!" Robbie crossed himself.
"TOM? Oh, Falk! You still have the nerve to say TOM?" Seeing Robbie's prayerful expression, William couldn't bear it any longer, and yelled at Robbie.
"You still have the nerve to say TOM? Open your dog eyes and see why TOM was injured, why is he lying down until now?!"
Just as Robbie was about to open his mouth to fight back, the little Robbie beside him suddenly yelled too.
"Dad, didn't you see? Tom was injured for Liverpool! Steven, Sammy, Jamie, Harvey, everyone can't help! Only Tom, it was Tom who rushed up without fear. Otherwise If not, the current score is 0 to 1 behind!"
"Yeah, it's because of Michael that Tom is hurt until now."
"TOM is injured for Liverpool, and Michael you support is the enemy of Liverpool!"
"Yes, the enemy, the enemy!!!"
Looking at the excited KOP around him, looking at his son standing next to him who is not of one mind with him, and watching Tang Wu grinning on the court and frighteningly holding back the "massage" by the team doctor.Robbie was silent.
Once upon a time, he had a very beautiful dream.He dreamed that Owen was back at Liverpool.With Owen in the front, Gerrard in the middle, and Tang Wu in the back, Liverpool once again dominated the Premier League and stood at the top of Europe.
But now, his dream has woken up.
Tang Wu was still lying in Gerrard's arms, but Owen only left him a strange back wearing black and white stripes and the number 10 printed on it.
May you leave half your life and return as a teenager.
The 25-year-old Owen stood there, standing in the rain, with the vicissitudes of time carved on his face.
He is still the chasing boy 7 years ago, but he is no longer red.
"Why, why, why?" In an instant, Robbie's psychological defense suddenly collapsed, and the man in his thirties fell down on the stool.Let the rain wash away, cover your face with your hands.
Seeing that Robbie stopped rebutting, everyone turned their heads and stared at Gerald's arms.
"Why? Why? He is the golden boy of Liverpool, why did he abandon Liverpool? Why did he leave? Why did he stand on the opposite side of Liverpool today? Why?" Robbie sobbed, tears mingled with rain and flowing between his fingers.
"Dad." Little Robbie stood aside, stroking Robbie's head like his parents would comfort him when he was crying, "Dad, our golden boy has not abandoned us, he has become Mr. Golden Globe!"
At this moment, deafening shouts sounded from the KOP stands.Countless KOPs were shouting the same name together, and after shouting a few times, the chaotic voices came together.
"TOM, TOM, TOM, TOM!!!"
At this moment, the shouts of the fans even overshadowed the thunder, constantly echoing over Anfield.
Robbie opened his eyes, just in time to see Tang Wu getting up slowly with the help of Gerald.Then he twisted his wrist again, moved his joints, and gave the captain an "OK" gesture.
"Tom is okay?" Robbie asked in surprise.
"That's right, Dad, Tom's okay, Tom's okay!" Little Robbie stood up on the chair after being excited.He took off the hat on his head, waved it in his hand and shouted: "TOM, TOM, TOM, TOM!!"
"TOM, TOM, TOM, TOM!" Robbie stood up and shouted with his son.
The father and son looked at each other and smiled.
The former golden boy has grown up and left, and Liverpool has a new Mr. Golden Ball.
Why dwell on the past?
