[엑스포츠뉴스 김정현 인턴기자] Liverpool legend Michael Owen made a different claim to the Liverpool attackers.
Liverpool lost 0-1 in an away game against Chelsea in the 29th round of the Premier League in the 2020/21 season held in Anfield on the 5th (Korean time).
Laberpool showed the worst offense on this day. Liverpool made only their first valid shot in the 84th minute and did not have a single valid shot in the first half.
On this day, Sadio Manet played a full-time game for 90 minutes, but couldn’t make a single shot and chance making, and Mohamed Salah also recorded only one shot, which was also blocked by a defensive block. The effective shooting on this day was recorded by Giorginho Bynaldum.
Michael Owen, who watched the game that day, claimed that Manet at Optus Sports Australia collided with Andreas Christensen in the box around the 8th minute, but did not fall, and that he did not seem to want Salah to score a penalty kick.
He said,’I don’t believe Manet didn’t fall. I am not advocating that he did it. Manet had a great touch and he probably thought he could hit Christensen and get a penalty kick.
“But Manet didn’t fall. A situation similar to that of the previous Sheffield United match came out. My guess is, if Salah is the penalty kicker and Manet says he has a chance to score,’I have to score. If you leave my feet, Salah will score with a penalty kick.’
Owen said, “Manet and Salah are both players who have won top scorers over the past few seasons. There may be a leap in my story. However, he argued that when one of the two competitive players scored more goals, they couldn’t pass each other well.
He also said,’We saw a bit of selfishness. I’ve seen behavior that reveals dissatisfaction. Also, when Salah was replaced, she shook her head. I’ve also seen Manet miss out on a few passes,” he said.
Salah currently leads the league with 17 goals, but Manet has only seven goals. Liverpool’s power has declined this season, especially as Manet and Roberto Firminu’s scoring power declined.
