At that time, Benitez entered Liverpool and thought that Owen did not meet his tactical requirements (he thought that Owen was only suitable for making long passes), so he realized that Owen could buy his favorite players and reorganize the team according to his requirements.
Second, Owen wants to leave himself, and he never won a weighty trophy when he was at Liverpool (the following year, Liverpool reached the top of Europe, and Owen laughed at himself). In addition, Shell was also in Real Madrid at that time, so he thought he could go to Real Madrid to achieve something. After all, the athlete's youth was short, and he was already famous at that time (at that time, Baozi was still a midfield engineer and didn't even have such an opportunity).
There are many folk sayings. For example, some people wrote that Zeo was in conflict at that time. Of course, they are not credible. It can only be said that the attitude of the club to renew the contract at that time was unclear, and Owen himself was not firm. Of course, Owen's departure indirectly led to the rise of superstar Ran Ran. From then on, no one can surpass him in the club, and the tactical system was established around him, and a new Red Army was born.
