Casual
Reds fall to sucker punch
Like a batsman struggling in the "nervous nineties", Liverpool find
themselves with a severe attack of European Cup first round nerves these days. Beaten at
the first hurdle in the past two seasons, they never did themselves justice last night
against the part-time outfit of Oulu, the Finnish champions, whose major contribution to a
disappointing European night was to operate a well polished offside trap into which
Liverpool fell no fewer than 19 times. The Finns also lifted their game sufficiently to
counter punch Liverpool after the Reds had dominated for more than an hour. With Liverpool
becoming too casual and failing to add to an early lead from a fine headed goal by Terry
McDermott, the unknowns from Oulu found some inspiration and cracked home a late equaliser
from defender Puotiniemi, thanks to some slack defensive work in the heart of the
Liverpool ranks. But the key feature, controlling everything, was the poor pitch. I have
seen better pitches in a Liverpool public park. The stadium is used for athletics and,
yesterday morning, javelin throwers and shot putters were training on the pitch, which was
bumpy and uneven. It was impossible to direct a pass on the ground with any accuracy and
this so affected Liverpool's normal rhythm of attack that their game came to grief,
despite massive possession from midfield.
Kenny Dalglish and David Fairclough were caught in a well-worked Finnish offside
trap time and time again, so that the balding Oulu goalkeeper Rantenan was scarcely
troubled, despite the command Liverpool held. Oulu had tall defenders strong in the air
and Liverpool's inadequate performance floundered as they failed to conquer the
conditions. Of course, disappointment of the 1-1 result should disappear when Liverpool
parade their ability in the second leg on the Anfield pitch in a fortnight's time - they
should have no difficulty going thorough to the second round because Oulu are a very
moderate team. But all credit to the Finns, outclassed and outplayed, who found the
enthusiasm and the spirit to take the game to Liverpool in the last quarter of an hour.
When they did breakdown the offside gambit, Liverpool's finishing went adrift, although
McDermott's header from twelve yards off Sammy Lee's cross was a beauty.
Rantenan made two desperate saves from Ray Kennedy in the space of a minute to foil
Liverpool's best chances. Graeme Souness hit three or four shots narrowly off target.
Fairclough and Dalglish went close without being able to apply the finishing touch. Ray
Clemence had only one real save to make from a header by the former Sunderland lad Keith
Armstrong, Oulu's best player by a considerable distance. It took the Finns 70 minutes
before they won a corner to illustrate the flow of a one-sided game but they never gave up
and made Liverpool pay the penalty for relaxing too soon. It was typical of a bad night
for the Reds that two defenders had ample chance to clear the ball before Puotiniemi
slammed it home from close range for the equaliser which was greeted with such joy by the
capacity crowd that, quite obviously, it was the biggest moment in the history of this
little club. Any ambitions Liverpool had of putting on an exhibition of the best of
English football were shattered by the pitch. But, even so, they should have done much
better than they did. Entertainment Rating: two stars. Conditions: Dry, pitch very bumpy.
Bob Paisley, the Liverpool manager said "How can I criticise my team when they
had to play on a pitch like that? It was like a Sunday League surface and a billiard table
in size. There was no way we could put on an exhibition on that pitch. The only time the
ball could be passed accurately was in the air; once it hit the ground it could go
anywhere. The Oulun officials were aware of the poor quality of the pitch and when asked
about improving it, I told them the first thing they should do is to employ a groundsman
to get the pitch in order. But, I suppose, as far as European matches go it is a good
result for an away leg".

Обязан был выиграть, по мнению всех экспертов,
«Ливерпуль». Он выступал в Финляндии, но обошелся
без победы. Англичане, правда, быстро забили гол
после удара Макдермотта на 15-й минуте, и этим
довольствовались. Чемпион Финляндии за девять
минут до конца добился почетной для себя ничьей,
когда Пуотиниеми сравнял результат - 1:1. Но и
ничья вызвала вздох облегчения у поклонников «Ливерпуля»,
ведь два предыдущих сезона их клуб выбывал из
борьбы уже в первом раунде, сначала от
ноттингемцев. а потом от динамовцев Тбилиси.
Теперь есть возможность продвинуться дальше и
набрать спортивную форму к решающим схваткам.

Reds
poised for a Euro assault
Liverpool moved into the second round of the European Cup in commanding style, with
a ruthlessly efficient demolition job of the unhappy Finns from Oulu, last night, and now
look forward to the possibility of breaking fresh ground when the draw is made in Zurich
tomorrow afternoon. There are several clubs going into the hat whom Liverpool have never
met before in their 16 previous seasons of European football, although there are also
familiar names like Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Ajax, Red Star Belgrade, Bayern Munich and
Honved of Budapest. Liverpool chief, Bob Paisley, delighted with the way his players
responded to his "no complacency" call in beating Oulu 10-1 said today
"There are new names in the draw. We will have to see what happens tomorrow but we
have to take what comes in this game". There were no injuries from last night's game
and the champions look certain to be unchanged for the seventh successive match, at
Manchester City on Saturday.
City's big two, Tony Book and Malcolm Allison, were at Anfield last night to check
Liverpool's current form and even when taking into account the poor quality of their
Finnish opponents, the Red's performance was impressive. Mr. Paisley said "It wasn't
farcical. Some games when a lot of goals are scored can go like that, but not this one. I
had told the lads to go out and do a professional job, to complete the task of reaching
the second round, after we had been knocked out in the first round the last two years.
They responded well. They went about things the correct way". The attendance of just
over 21,000 was good enough to ensure that Liverpool did not make a loss over the two
legs, as was feared. General Secretary Peter Robinson said today "We were very
pleased with the gate considering the economic problems everyone is facing. We never made
a loss financially in European competition but it looked certain this time. However, when
all the bills are paid, I think we will make a small profit".

Liverpool
douse the fervour of the Scots
Liverpool calmly and efficiently doused the fervour of the Scots at Pittodrie last
night. A fifth minute goal by Terry McDermott gave them the cushion of a 1-0 advantage to
take into the second leg of this European Cup second round tie at Anfield a week on
Wednesday and broke the hearts of the 24,000 people who begged, borrowed, and queued
overnight to see a match billed over the border as the Championship of Britain. Liverpool
put the impassioned locals who saw this as the game of the century under a cold shower.
The spirit and individual technique of the Scottish champions was never in doubt, and
personified by the ceaseless efforts of Gordon Strachan and the early substitute, Doug
Bell. But, as several observers had anticipated, Aberdeen lacked the necessary fire power
and original thought up front to seriously extend the wise old men of Europe.
Liverpool, playing the counter-punch game they operate so well, ultimately might
have won by a more comfortable margin. Their composure was only occasionally ruffled.
Clemence making only one notable save while his opposite number Leighton produced a number
of excellent stops, not least from Souness's 20-yarder four minutes from time. The task
Aberdeen now face is to win by two goals at Anfield - where Liverpool are unbeaten in a
remarkable 74 matches. The English champions plundered the away goal so important in
European competition after only five minutes of watching and waiting for an error.
Aberdeen were effectively reduced to ten men at the moment Ray Kennedy intercepted a pass
by Willie Miller out on the left because midfield man McMaster was vomiting by the
trainers' dugout. It was, apparently, because of an inadvertent punch on the nose. Kennedy
found Dalglish, McDermott stepped over the Scot's pass, breaking forward to receive the
first time through ball played by David Johnson, and curled a delicate chip over
goalkeeper James Leighton from a narrow angle.
The coolness and precision of Liverpool's strike left the Scottish champions flat
until the clearly out-of-sorts McMaster was substituted in the 14th minute by Bell, the
youngster manager Alex Ferguson had pledged to bring into the action in any case. Bell
added a little more purpose to Aberdeen's energy and Ray Clemence was called upon to save
full back Doug Rougvie's drive at the foot of a post and then went full stretch to touch
McGee's 28th minute effort around the post after Jarvie's tricky run into the area had
opened up the Liverpool defence. Liverpool made it clear from the start of the second half
that what they had was well worth holding, pulling men back in greater numbers whenever
required, and conceding a greater amount of possession in midfield. Aberdeen took up the
challenge with relish but found the business of creating chances a difficult chore.
Too often they wasted possession needlessly and when Strachan and Rougvie found
shooting opportunities on the edge of the box, they homed their efforts on Ray Clemence's
stomach as if it were a magnet. John Hewitt substituted for the veteran Jarvie after 61
minutes as Aberdeen's anxiety grew visibly and Liverpool's response was to replace Sammy
Lee with Jimmy Case, who operated a more defensive role. The difference between the two
sides on the night was not so much in skill and commitment, which Aberdeen showed they
have in full, but in organisation and know-how and Liverpool have developed those
abilities in seventeen consecutive seasons in Europe. They were never as hurried,
infinitely more patient, and created the better of the chances, if not the bulk of them.

Пестрота РАНГОВ (обзор
еврокубков)
Впрочем, титулованных клубов в этом турнире,
естественно, больше, чем в двух остальных. Один из
них, тоже бывший двукратный владелец приза, как и
итальянский «Интер», — английский «Ливерпуль».
Ливерпульцам предстояло небольшое путешествие в
шотландский город Абердин. Интерес в Британии к
этому матчу был исключительно высок. Печать
сообщает, что абердинский стадион вмещает только
24 тысячи зрителей, а заявок от болельщиков на
билеты поступило более ста тысяч. Чемпион
Шотландии, как и предполагалось, территориально
доминировал. Чемпион Англии использовал все
возможности для обороны. Задача ливерпульцев
облегчалась и тем, что в самом начале игры уже на
5-й минуте в контратаке Макдермотт забил гол в
ворота «Абердина». Теперь выход в четвертьфинал
«Ливерпуля» английские обозреватели считают
предрешенным, поскольку пусть и минимальная
победа, но достигнута она в гостях.

Top of
the class
Long before the end, it was all terribly easy. Liverpool reduced their European Cup
tie against Scottish champions Aberdeen at Anfield last night to a comfortable stroll as
they reached the quarter finals with a 4-0 win (aggregate 5-0) which could have been
stretched to whatever score they liked. It was almost embarrassing as they exposed the gap
between English football at top level and its Scottish equivalent. Aberdeen were made to
look like struggling beginners as the English champions showed a control and composure
which Aberdeen could never match. Apart from the opening 30 minutes, when Aberdeen
defended well and tried to contain a Liverpool team in supremely confident mood, the game
became so one-sided that the Kop enjoyed themselves with the chant "Why are we so
good?" The taunt was cruel in its cutting humour at the Scots but there could be no
complaints from the Scottish contingent. The Scottish champions were outplayed,
outthought, outrun.
And, in the second half, when Liverpool turned on the class and the quality, it was
indeed men against boys. The boys were never seen - and Ray Clemence in the Liverpool goal
had just two shots to save throughout the game. The turning point, remarkably, was the
arrival on the scene of Israeli international Avi Cohen. He came on for the injured Alan
Kennedy after 35 minutes when the score was at stalemate with Liverpool on top but with no
goals to show for their overall command. There seemed little danger to Liverpool but they
had not made the tie safe and some urgency was needed as Aberdeen settled down to a
defensive commitment with Rougvie, Miller and McLeish holding tight as Liverpool raided
without anything to show for it. Cohen made an instant impact. He was involved in the
fierce attack that led to Aberdeen having to concede a corner after 38 minutes. He moved
up to take a short pass from Dalglish and turned the ball into the middle where the
outstanding Hansen headed it into the goal mouth for the unfortunate Miller to slice the
ball past his own goalkeeper.
It was the start of Aberdeen's disappearance from Europe for this season. They
could not rally because Liverpool held all the attacking control as Graeme Souness and
Terry McDermott took complete midfield command. And, just before half time, Phil Neal
scored a gem of a goal to put the tie beyond Aberdeen's reach. Phil Thompson, on the heels
of his eager front men, pushed the ball forward and Dalglish, with a cunning accurate back
heel pass, sent Phil Neal into the clear. Neal, calm and sensible, tucked the ball past
Leighton with the precision of an ace striker - a mavellous goal which decided the game.
Dalglish and Alan Hansen scored second half goals to round off Liverpool's superiority;
goals finished and made with a fluency which Aberdeen could not stop as Liverpool stroked
the ball around with charm and quality.
It was one of Liverpool's easiest European Cup triumphs, based on supreme team work
and class individual play in which Hansen and Souness were outstanding. As a couple of
Scots, their part in Liverpool's success must have been even more hard to take for
Aberdeen. Entertainment rating: four stars. Conditions: dry, cold, pitch soft.

Наконец, еще одному клубу, владевшему Кубком
чемпионов, — «Ливерпулю», который выиграл в
первом матче у шотландского «Абердина», — 1:0,
повторная победа досталась без особого труда. К
тому же шотландец Миллер в первом тайме забил мяч
в свои ворота, а уж затем Нил, Далглиш и Хансен
провели еще три гола.

ln the opening minutes referee Alf
Grey disallowed a Kevin Reeves goal for what was described by the official as ‘illegal
jumping‘. City were furious. John Bond, in typical fashion, remembers the incident well;
“lt was scandalous. lt was Alf Grey [referee] who punished us. Ray Clemence came out and
never got anywhere near the ball, and Kevin Reeves got up and headed the ball into the net
He never fouled him or anybody else. You bet your life there wasn’t a foul in it. lt was
as simple as that.”
Kevin Reeves was equally bemused at the time: “lt was a legitimate jump for a
cross from the left. l never climbed on anybody’s shoulders. Alan Kennedy, the Liverpool
left back, was in there with me and l suspect he thought Clemence was coming to punch the
cross clear and just dropped his shoulder to make the way clear for his ‘keeper. I had
felt Kennedy’s shoulder as I went up but I never went to make contact with him, nor did
I feel anything unusual. If I had thought there was any doubt about the header after it
went in the net l would have been looking at the referee and certainly hesitating with my
actions. It’s just not the way I would behave to go dashing over to the Kippax to
celebrate the goal with them. Like them, I was stunned to see it disalIowed.”
Supporter Simon Clarke remembers: “l sat in the Platt Lane Stand for the League
Cup match, so didn’t have a clear view ofthe Reeves header that hit the net at the North
Stand end after only a few minutes. The stadium erupted, and i was too busy celebrating a
dream start to notice that the game had resumed with a free kick. The North Stand
scoreboard went blank, so it was some while before the truth dawned that we were not,
after all, one- nil up, Reeves strike having been disallowed. Eventually Liverpool scored
from a free kick that should never have been given, and the feeling of hurt and injustice
that followed is just beyond description, my worst night in over 35 years as a Blue.”
Ray Kennedy scored in the 81st minute to give Liverpool victory and make City’s
task in the return an impossible one. A 1 -1 draw guaranteed Liverpool a final appearance
against West Ham (and ultimately victory). Norman Kavanagh, a Platt Lane attendee at the
first leg, remembers that City were more than a match for their Liverpool rivals: “Some
of John Bond’s experienced signings, the ones that saved us from relegation and took us
to the FA Cup final, were cup tied for the League Cup. l thought we’d be drawn against
the easily beatable Coventry or West Ham and l was mentally preparing for Wembley.
Liverpool at that point were virtually unbeatable, so the draw did not do us any favours.
“Maine Road was absolutely jam packed that night and City, minus Bond’s stars,
were not overawed. Big Joe was in his usual fine form. Tommy Caton and Nicky Reid superb
in defence. Tony Henry pitting his wits against the likes of Souness and McDermott in
midfield, while Dave Bennett was a handful for the Liverpool defence. “After the
controversy of the disallowed goal, Liverpool as they so often did, in those days nicked
one to win 1-0.

5 CSKA Sofia 1
Liverpool ripped the heart out of the pride of Bulgaria last night, and sent them
home a thoroughly chastened band of soldiers. The CSKA club, which caters for a staggering
28 different sports and provided five gold medallists at the Moscow Olympics, found their
footballers no match for the Red Army of Anfield. The men from Sofia's army team must
surely be on their way to being invalided out of the European Cup after last night's 5-1
drubbing by Liverpool, who are far too experienced at this level to let slip a four goal
lead in a fortnight's time. Graeme Souness was the super sniper who gunned down CSKA with
a brilliant hat-trick, reinforced by Sammy Lee and Terry McDermott who contributed the
other goals. And with Steve Heighway weaving magic spells once again, and Alan Kennedy
enjoying another splendid game, this was an outstanding performance. CSKA, invincible on
home territory, turned out to be a team of some style but little steel.
Their defence was prone to illogical errors which could have made life even easier
for Liverpool and they seemed unable to cope with the effective way Liverpool moved men
out of midfield into space in the attacking third of the pitch. They were certainly unable
to cope with Alan Hansen when he set off on a typical loping run from the half way line in
the 16th minute. Hansen was allowed to take the ball into the danger zone just outside the
box and, when Kenny Dalglish took over with a short stabbing pass, there was Souness to
beat a man and expertly arrow the ball past goalkeeper Velinov. It was just the start
Liverpool wanted and with the crowd in good voice, the match went their way from then on -
apart from CSKA's solitary reply in the second half. Yet Liverpool's own defence had its
uneasy moments and CSKA could easily have got on the score sheet long before Ionchev
finally did the trick shortly after Liverpool's third goal.
Ionchev, who scored against Nottingham Forest in Sofia, was twice guilty of
squandering opportunities in the first half - first, when he shot straight at Ray Clemence
when put through with only the keeper to beat, and then, again, when he shot at Clemence
after intercepting a casual pass from Hansen. That slip by Hansen should really have been
punished more severely and Colin Irwin - substituting for the unlucky Phil Thompson - was
also glad to see centre-forward Djevizov shoot high into the crowd after an error by Irwin
had enabled Kerimov to send Djevizov through to leave Clemence stranded. Djevizov was a
man Liverpool had to watch closely. A big, strong, powerful and, surprisingly, fast man he
looked a real handful in the first half but seemed to lose heart as the game went on.
Manager Bob Paisley gave his centre-halves a rocket at half time and not even Phil
Thompson, who had gone off with a pulled thigh muscle, escaped the blast. The result was a
much more compact showing in the second half, when the one real chance to CSKA was the one
which produced their goal. By then, Liverpool were three up. Lee notched the second when
Heighway's cross was headed out, and Souness rifled home the third after Heighway had
ghosted past two men and rolled the ball invitingly into his path. For a few minutes
things looked dicey after Ionchev slid the ball past Clemence in the 58th minute which had
the posse of Sofia officials crowing in delight. But McDermott shut them up with a
devilish curling shot and then Souness crowned his second hat trick of this European
campaign with another searing shot with the right foot.
Entertainment rating: four stars. Conditions: dry, pitch soft.

Дерзость и упорство
(обзор еврокубков)
В Кубке чемпионов лишь английский «Ливерпуль»
практически обеспечил себе выход в полуфинал
Тренер англичан Пейсли подчеркнул, что к матчу с
чемпионом Болгарии его команда готовилась
тщательно. Ведь именно ЦСКА «Септемврийско знаме»
выбил в первом круге из турнира обладателя Кубка
чемпионов английский «Ноттингем». Пейсли заявил
перед встречей: «Не знаю, как сложится игра, но
могу заранее предупредить, что в недооценке
чемпиона Болгарии нас никто не имеет права потом
упрекать. Пусть зрители проявят терпение».
Обеспечил победу «Ливерпулю» игрок шотландской
сборной Саунесс, сумевший забить три гола — на 16,
46-й в 79-й минутах. Еще под одному провели Ли и
Макдермот. Единственный ответный гол забил
Йончев. Этот матч был 111-м выступлением
ливерпульцев в европейских клубных турнирах за 17
лет. Тренер англичан Пейсли признал, что лишь «быстрый
гол» мог бы повернуть развитие событий в нужном
ему направлении. Так и произошло. Однако
обозреватели отмечают, что, несмотря на крупный
проигрыш, чемпион Болгарии провел поединок остро
и его атаки выглядели опасными.

Johnson's
killer touch
Liverpool completed their predictable march into the semi-finals of the European
Cup last night in the slightly unreal atmosphere of a match which was as good as over by
the 11th minute. Only a supreme optimist or a committed believer in the supremacy of the
communist system gave CSKA Sofia any chance of recovering from their 5-1 trashing at
Anfield in the first leg. And even that faint hope was doomed to a sudden death. With the
digital clock on the giant electronic scoreboard in the Levski Stadium indicating that the
game was ten minutes old, Phil Neal initiated and then continued a rapid attack on the
strangely unprotected left flank of the CSKA defence. Sammy Lee read the situation
superbly, arriving in space at the right moment to sweep the ball across the goal and
leave goalkeeper Arsov stranded. It hid the far post and rebounded to David Johnson, who
thumped it delightedly into the roof of the net. It was Johnson's 13th goal of the season
and his third in his last four appearances - but he said afterwards he would not have got
it if it had not been for the old fashioned square goal posts. "If they had been the
normal round posts I am convinced that Sammy's shot would have rebounded into the
net" he said.
From that moment, there was never any danger that Liverpool would lose and all that
remained to the 70,000 crowd was whether their red-clad team could at least fight back to
win the home leg of this quarter-final tie. Liverpool did not allow them that consolation
although it took dramatic defending from Ray Clemence, who saved a penalty, and Phil Neal
and Jimmy Case, who both made goal line clearances, to keep Liverpool ahead on the night.
Curiously, CSKA were much less impressive on their own ground, in the shadow of the
snow-capped Mount Vitosha, than they had been at Anfield. There, at least, they had shown
a fair amount of attacking style but last night only Ionchev, their scorer in the first
leg, seemed to have the will to make a fight of it. The rest seemed to find the weight of
that four goal deficit dragging behind them like a ball and chain.
Liverpool expected the Bulgarians to come at them strongly from the first whistle,
but that early onslaught never happened. CSKA had a vigorous spell just after the goal, at
the start of the second half, and finally towards the end - but it was all too late.
Clemence's penalty save, when he dived to his left to foil Markov after Alan Kennedy had
pushed Ionchev in the 80th minute, completed the Bulgarian's misery. As the England keeper
beat the ball away, a crescendo of whistles swept around the stadium, and the Sofia
supporters rose from their seats and headed home. Clemence, who just before the penalty
made a superb save from Velkov, was a hero for Liverpool as were Lee and Case with their
work in midfield. Irwin and Hansen also played a vital part in keeping the dangerous
Djevizov, a real battle-cruiser of a centre forward, out of the danger area. But the Red's
injury jinx had followed them from Liverpool, causing Johnson to limp off in the first
half while Kenny Dalglish received another painful knock early on, although he was able to
finish the game.
Johnson's departure brought Steve Heighway onto the field and it was Heighway who
had Liverpool's best chance of a second goal, side-footing wide after Graeme Souness and
Lee had set up the opening. At the final whistle, the group of Liverpool fans serenaded
the departing Bulgarians with a Merseyside medley. Over the two legs, Liverpool's
superiority had been emphatically established. Ray Clemence took the man of the match
nomination last night with his 80th minute penalty save being the climax of an impressive
performance. Though the Bulgarians never looked like winning the match, they gave the
Reds' keeper enough opportunities to remind everyone of his high standing in the game. His
handling was secure, his reading of the game faultless, and he demonstrated his agility
and reflexes with two great saves in the second half as well as his penalty stop from
Markov. Entertainment rating: three stars. Conditions: cool, pitch bumpy.
Liverpool manager Bob Paisley said "It was a very good display and Ray
Clemence had a blinder but it is unfortunate we cannot play through a game without
injuries. I won't have any trouble picking a team for Saturday's home match against
Everton because I have only got about 11 fit players".
Ray Kennedy, Kenny Dalglish and Steve Heighway, who came on for the injured David
Johnson just before half time, may miss the big Merseyside derby. David Johnson's strike
was Liverpool's 100th goal of the season.

В разных ключах (обзор
еврокубков)
Менеджер английского «Ливерпуля» Б. Пейсли
прямо отметил, что добытый две недели назад
внушительный перевес в голах предопределит
осторожную контратакующую схему в ответном
матче. Он напомнил о сложной, напряженной
ситуации в английском чемпионате, где у клуба
шансов на победу почти нет, а потому европейская
сцена становится центральной. Кроме того, «Ливерпуль»
перед вылетом в Софию провел изнурительный финал
с «Вест Хэмом» на Кубок английской лиги,
завершившийся после дополнительного времени
вничью— 1:1, Этот финал будет переигран первого
апреля. Словом, англичане не собирались
рисковать. Капитан армейцев Софии Иван Зафиров
признал, что игроки, конечно, разочарованы
исходом первой встречи, но собираются вести
борьбу хотя бы за престижную победу. В болгарской
команде ситуация осложнялась тем, что не смог
выступить травмированный лучший защитник
Димитров и нападающий Керимов,
дисквалифицированный УЕФА на один матч.
Поначалу чемпион Болгарии атаковал слаженно.
Однако уже на 13-й минуте контрвыпад англичан
закончился голом, который забил игрок сборной
Джонсон. Разрыв в голах возрос до пяти, что не
могло не сказаться на дальнейшем ходе поединка.
Когда был назначен пенальти в ворота англичан,
голкипер Клеменс сумел парировать слабый удар
Маркова. Обозреватели отмечают, что, пожалуй,
лишь Йончев и Джевизов провели встречу энергично
и агрессивно, в целом же хозяева поля сыграли без
подъема.

- Phil Thompson recalls: "It was the first time we had won the League Cup but
we almost lost the trophy the same night. On our way back from Villa Park the cup was
being handed around the coach and all talk was about where we would celebrate. Suffice to
say a good night was had by all! The next morning I received a call from Peter Robinson,
our chief executive, who asked where the trophy was. I told him it was on the bus. ‘Yes
I know,’ he replied. I’ve just had a call from the depot in St Helens — the driver
found it on the back seat when he was cleaning up! Don’t let the next one out of your
sight!’
That’s why I ended up taking the European Cup home to Kirkby a few months later.
As for the game, a few things stand out. Our play was brilliant and it was the night Ian
Rush announced himself as a star in the making. Even though he didn’t score, he was
fantastic."

Reds
run out of ideas as jinx strikes again
Liverpool's recurrent injury problems cropped up again last night to mar their cup
game. The absence of their two outstanding midfield players cost them the chance to
establish a worthwhile advantage against Bayern Munich in the first leg of their European
Cup semi-final. As anticipated, Graeme Souness was unable to resume following a niggling
back injury and, within five minutes of the kick off, leading scorer Terry McDermott
dislocated his thumb and had to go off for treatment. Although he resumed, the injury
obviously hampered him considerably and he was withdrawn to be replaced by the veteran
Steve Heighway. This early set-back seemed to upset Liverpool considerably and, after a
lively start, when they might well have grabbed a couple of goals, they gradually lost
their rhythm. With Ian Rush finding a first class German defence a very different
proposition than anything he had previously encountered and Heighway lacking a yard or two
of pace these days, Liverpool's attacking movements were strictly limited and, long before
the end, had become dangerously predictable.
Had Kenny Dalglish not been foiled by Bayern's excellent goalkeeper Junghans twice
in the first 20 minutes, it is possible that Liverpool would have gained the necessary
momentum to sweep forward to victory. However Junghans, only playing because of the injury
suffered by Muller last week, turned a fierce right foot shot around the post after only
three minutes and then, somehow, got in the way of a ferocious left foot volley to leave
the Scottish star pounding the turf in frustration. Henceforth, Liverpool's chances were
few and far between as the Germans gradually settled down and threw a startling protective
blanket round their penalty area. With Augenthaler and Weiner dominant in the air,
Liverpool were able to make relatively little impression; and for much of the second half
had to be satisfied with the occasional shot on goal from 25 yards or more.
Indeed, if the visitors had not come with the obvious determination to concentrate
on achieving a goalless draw they might well have gone into the second leg with at least a
one goal advantage. Clemence had to make excellent saves from Rummenigge and Augenthaler
but even he was beaten by a splendid shot from Niedermayer after 35 minutes which
rebounded from the cross bar. An even greater escape occurred midway through the second
half when Augenthaler ran right through the middle of the Liverpool defence, only for the
move to be halted when Breitner, rather foolishly, ran offside while attempting to make
certain of a goal. On several occasions the Germans bewildered Liverpool with their neat
inter-passing in which Breitner and Durenberger played a prominent part and could well
have caused far more trouble than they actually did. However, they were clearly delighted
with what they did achieve and will start the return match full of confidence.
Souness was especially missed because his deputy, Jimmy Case, had an unhappy game
and was rarely able to make much impression down the right flank. He certainly contributed
two or three crunching tackles which were probably made look much worse than they were by
the Germans' acrobatic reactions. Dalglish certainly did his best with limited support but
Rush found the going increasingly difficult and McDermott's ability to pop up in open
spaces was badly missed. Now Liverpool face the Herculean task of winning the return in
Munich, where the German champions have not lost a home tie in more than 20 matches. A
great deal will depend on their ability to get players like Souness and McDermott fit in
time and, if they are successful, there is no reason why Liverpool should still not manage
to make the final. However, they will certainly have to summon up all their skill and
experience and take their chances as they have only rarely taken them this season.
Entertainment rating: two stars.

Аргумент репутации (обзор
еврокубков)
Два других полуфиналиста — «Бавария» и «Ливерпуль»
имеют на своем счету пять побед. «Бавария» — три,
«Ливерпуль» — две. Но вот в рамках Кубка
чемпионов их дороги прежде не перекрещивались.
Правда, в Кубке ярмарок в 1971 году «Бавария»
переиграла «Ливерпуль», а годом позже английский
клуб выбил из Кубка кубков своего соперника из
ФРГ, причем дома сыграл вничью — 0:0, а в Мюнхене
победил — 3:1.
Положение команд в чемпионатах различное. «Ливерпуль»
идет пятым и шансы на успех утратил, «Бавария»
продолжает борьбу, занимая второе место. Перед
полуфиналом ливерпульцы провели повторный
финальный матч Кубка английской лиги с
лондонским «Вест Хэмом». На этот раз они выиграли
— 2:1, причем оба гола забил Далглиш.
— Это совсем не тот умирающий «Ливерпуль», о
котором нам так много говорили в последнее время,
— заявил менеджер «Баварии» У. Хенесс,
наблюдавший за финалом. Он заявил, что особо
сильное впечатление на него произвела игра
Саунеса и Макдермота. Первый на матч с «Баварией»
не вышел, а ведь именно он забил три гола в
четвертьфинале. Второй — Макдермот вынужден был
покинуть поле из-за травмы еще в первом тайме.
Однако не пробелы в составе помешали «Ливерпулю»
добиться успеха. На взгляд обозревателя Д.
Миллера, остро сыграла «Бавария». Фактически
гости, как считает он, были ближе к голу, чем
хозяева. На 3-й минуте Нидермайер попал в штангу,
затем Румменигге едва не открыл счет, и, наконец,
чистый голевой шанс не использовал Д. Хенесс. У
англичан же лишь Далглиш всерьез и опасно бил по
воротам. В центре доминировали гости.
Успех «Баварии», как сообщает
западногерманский обозреватель Г. Шаффер, вызвал
впервые настоящий бум в Мюнхене. В этом сезоне
олимпийский стадион ни разу не был заполнен, а на
ответный полуфинал проданы уже все билеты.
Если нулевой итог полуфинала Кубка чемпионов
в Ливерпуле в целом закономерен, то «Ипсвич»,
принимавший в тот же день «Кельн», должен был
добиться более крупной победы.

Liverpool's
away-day return ticket to final
Liverpool achieved what is surely the most remarkable result in all their European
matches last night to become the first British club to reach three Champions Cup finals.
They drew 1-1 with Bayern Munich in the Olympic Stadium to go through on away goals,
having been held to a scoreless draw at Anfield a fortnight before. Moreover, all this was
achieved after losing Kenny Dalglish at the start of the match.
Needless to say the evening was, in the main, aggressively Bavarian. Even before
the kick-off Liverpool's task looked as steep and forbidding as the packed, noisy banks of
terracing around them. When they lost Dalglish after five minutes, the mountain began to
look unclimbable. Dalglish went down after a tackle by Del'Haye, playing for Bayern
instead of the injured Niedermayer, and stayed down which is always an ominous sign.
Several minutes of intense treatment to his left ankle failed to bring an improvement and
so, instead of playing the game with the man most likely to win it for them, Liverpool
were left with the inexperienced Gayle partnering Johnson in attack. Gayle's first team
career, before last night, amounted to half an hour as a substitute against Manchester
City last October.
Bayern showed no immediate signs of exploiting this turn of events or the weakness
that already existed in the absence of Thompson and Alan Kennedy in the Liverpool defence.
With Breitner dogged by little Lee - and fouled punitively by Souness soon after
Dalglish's departure - they took a long time to establish any line of communication
between Rummenigge and Hoeness and those behind them seeking space against a Liverpool
side given added steel by their early misfortune. Playing patient, possessive football,
Liverpool also kept the pace of the game deliberate and the mood in a low key. They were
content to allow Bayern run themselves ragged as they tried to find a way through and
something of the German's frustration began to show when Weiner charged 50 yards out of
defence with the ball at his feet and attempted unsuccessfully to bludgeon a path through
the middle. This, and a shot by Durenberger easily held by Clemence, was more or less all
that Bayern achieved before half-time.
Liverpool's attack had scarcely achieved anything more during this period, although
they might have had a penalty just before the half hour when Gayle went sprawling after
being tackled from behind by Durenberger. Gayle's strength and speed were of sufficient
concern to Bayern for them to foul him regularly. At the start of the second half, he was
brought down twice in quick succession and on the second occasion Augenthaler was shown
the yellow card. Later Gayle himself was cautioned for a foul on Dremmler and in the 70th
minute he gave way to Case.
As Weiner weakly played the ball back to Irwin near his own goal area - the
Liverpool man was so surprised that he failed to get in a proper shot - it began to dawn
on the Bayern supporters that their side might conceivably be beaten. Certainly, Bayern
might have fallen behind when a long ball from Souness found Johnson starting to run free
of a square defence. His shot was half blocked and then cleared. To get more width into
their attack Bayern took off Durenberger and brought on Janzon to run wide on the left.
However, they were more inclined to look to the fast overlapping of Dremmler on the right.
Either way, with Hansen dominating the Liverpool penalty area, the Germans still found it
hard to create space near the goal.
Seven minutes from the end Liverpool's fondest hope and Bayern's worst fear were realised
in almost absurdly simple fashion. A long clearance from Clemence found Johnson near the
right-hand touch-line; by that time Johnson, with his left thigh strapped up, was limping
heavily but he still managed to lob the ball square over a defender's head to Ray Kennedy
who calmly brought it down before shooting low past Junghan's right hand. Now Bayern had
to score twice before the finish to save themselves. Four minutes from the end they
managed one goal. A centre from Janzon screwed off the head of Irwin straight to
Rummenigge, who scored easily. However, for all their late effort, Bayern never came so
close again and Liverpool were through.
Manager Bob Paisley said "That's got to be our best performance ever in
Europe. It was as good as when we first won the cup in 1977. It was full of character, it
was not a classy performance but it was a tremendous effort. Everything went wrong for us,
yet the players did everything right". On sending up Ray Kennedy late on to bolster
the struggling Johnson, Paisley said "We had to gamble because we needed a goal. We
just couldn't afford to go into extra time because we has used our two substitutes. This
was the club's 113th European tie and I think I am the only person who has been involved
in all of them - and this was certainly the greatest ever. We had a Central League side
out there and we beat the German champions".

СМЕНА ВЛАДЕЛЬЦА (обзор
еврокубков)
Не суждено было сбыться надеждам хозяев поля
и во втором полуфинале. Игрок сборной Англия Рей
Кеннеди оказался своеобразным пророком. Капитан
«Ливерпуля» Р. Кеннеди еще за 10 дней до ответного
матча в Мюнхене, отвечая на вопросы журналистов,
сказал: «Я не унываю. Мы все еще можем добиться
своего. В конце концов в Мюнхене поле больше, чем
у нас, а поскольку «Бавария» должна будет
атаковать, то свободного пространства для нашей
атаки будет больше. Возможно, хватит и одного
гола. Я имею в виду ситуацию, если даже матч
завершится вничью — 1:1. Это не в новинку для нас».
Капитан «Ливерпуля» Кеннеди как в воду
смотрел. Матч в Мюнхене закончился с ничейным
счетом. 1:1, и этот единственный гол провел на 83-й
минуте сам Рей Кеннеди. Он получил точный пас от
Джонсона с правого фланга. На этом месте
полузащитник Джонсон оказался в связи с тем, что
получил тяжелую травму, но не мог покинуть поля,
так как ранее тренер «Ливерпуля» Б. Пейсли уже
произвел две замены. Джонсон формально
присутствовал на фланге, но зато сумел дать
прекрасный пас Кеннеди, и тот, приняв мяч на грудь,
бросил его вина и мощно отправил в сетку.
За две минуты до
финального свистка Руммснигге спас «Баварию» от
проигрыша, забив гол престижа, хотя он сам лично
до матча был убежден, что его клуб будет в финале.
«Победа «Ливерпуля» выделяется еще и тем
обстоятельством, — подчеркивает обозреватель М.
Доббин, — что ряды команды были сильно ослаблены
из-за отсутствия группы травмированных игроков
основного состава, включая штатного капитана
Томпсона, а уже на 9-й минуте лучший форвард
Далглиш получил травму и вынужден был играть в
средней линии».
Итак, в финале Кубка чемпионов встретятся
шестикратный владелец этого приза мадридский «Реал»
и двукратный — «Ливерпуль».

Ray Kennedy’s goal was enough to
give Liverpool the points against Manchester City and confirm fifth place in the first
division.
…As expected, Bob Paisley didn’t risk Kenny Dalglish or Sammy Lee. Instead, he
opted for Howard Gayle and Jimmy Case. Both played as if they had a point to prove,
particularly Gayle whose pace caused the visitors plenty of problems. The duo’s efforts
nearly led to the opener when Gayle headed Case’s corner on to the post after 11
minutes.
Five minutes later, Liverpool did go ahead. Kennedy, having earlier been denied by
19-year-old Alex Williams, made no mistake after Phil Neal’s quick free-kick allowed
Graeme Souness to cut the ball back.
The other Kennedy, returning from injury, nearly joined his namesake on the
scoresheet after the break. Alan somehow evaded five City defenders through a combination
of blocks and turns only to put his final shot wide. The amazing run had the crowd on its
feet.

ALAN KENNEDY confounded Real Madrid
and the whole of Paris last night by striking the goal that won the European Cup for
Liverpool.
The man the Kop have christened Barney Rubble, a left-back with the knack of
producing the unpredictable, became Liverpool's ace in the pack in a tense and taut chess
game of a final.
With just eight minutes remaining, Kennedy went bursting into the Real penalty area
when his namesake Ray took a quick throw-in from the left. In a blur he was past the
floundering Garcia Cortes and a thundering left-foot shot seared high into the top corner
of the net.
The Parc des Princes Stadium exploded into red and white, and Kennedy, whose League
Cup final goal was so cruelly cancelled out in the dying minutes at Wembley in March, this
time was the hero for keeps.
Yet Kennedy had been inactive for six weeks during Liverpool's preparations for
this game because of a broken wrist, and his chances of playing had looked remote.
The plaster was removed only last week as Paisley was anxious to play him as a
counter to the dangerous forward thrusts of Juanito.
Now Kennedy has a golden chance of a place in football history as the man who won
the European Cup for Liverpool for the third time, a record for a British club.
And ultimately Liverpool deserved their triumph, if only just.
They produced a performance of typical professionalism, reducing the threat of the
highly talented Real front-line by expert and disciplined defence.
Liverpool were not rated as favourites. The feeling of many critics in Paris was
that their time had passed. But the message Bob Paisley's men spoke rather than roared to
the rest of Europe is one that is becoming haunt-ingly familiar: Write Liverpool off only
at your cost.
Liverpool's early dominance was a product of their great experience of the heady
occasions.
They gave themselves a little more time than Real and for 20 minutes were in firm
control, creating that critical extra yard of space by intelligent first-time passing.
Alan Kennedy's 11th-minute left-footed 30-yarder had Agustin sprawling. McDermott's
first-time effort following a neat link between Dalglish and Lee went over, and Dalglish
drove an effort on the turn straight at the keeper.
Once Real had surfaced from their early attack of nerves, however, Liverpool found
they were much more of a match, coping with the tight and tricky ball skills of Juanito
and Laurie Cunningham and the phenomenal ability in the air of Santillana.
Camacho, a dangerous raiding full-back, gave Liverpool their first big scare when he
wriggled free from Alan Hansen on the edge of the box and lobbed a shot just beyond Ray
Clemence's far post.
If the game was not a classic, if was nothing less than an absorbing contest
between highly accomplished teams of contrasting styles.
Real, typically Latin, played in high speed bursts, from a general pattern of
keeping the pace slow. Their close skills were undeniably present: demanding every ounce
of Liverpool's concentration and organisation to contain them.
The Spaniards also employed a man-to-man marking system as opposed to Liverpool's
preference for the nearest defender to pick up the man on the ball.
Cortes stayed as tight as he could on Dalglish, and found it a desperately
difficult task; Sabido followed Johnson and Camacho was given the responsibility of
restricting Graeme Souness's midfield influence, in which he found a certain degree of
success.
The pattern that emerged was that Liverpool, without ever regaining their early
authority, created the more clear-cut chances; a tribute as much to the back four's work
as the forward play.
A typical Liverpool move deserved a reward of a 37th-minute goal. Dalglish,
pressured by two defenders on the edge of the box, held the ball up cleverly before
releasing it in front of the onrushing Souness whose shot the gangling Agustin was
fortunate to grab at the second attempt.
There was never a question of Real running the so-called old men of Anfield off their feet
as their Yugoslavian coach Boskov had predicted; nor on the other hand of Liverpool
dissecting the Spaniards by science.
Just when extra-time seemed inevitable the tactical stalemate was broken by Alan
Kennedy's intervention.
Three minutes from time, three substitutions were made, but they were too late to
matter. Real brought on San Jose and Pineda for Juanita and Cortes, and Jimmy Case
replaced a limping Dalglish.

ФИНАЛ «ЛИВЕРПУЛЬ» (Англия)
— «РЕАЛ» (Мадрид, Испания) — 1:0
Гол: Алан Кеннеди (82).
 В этом финале, проходившем в Париже,
встретились ава европейских клуба с яркой
историей и заметными достижениями на
международной арене. Но соперники доминировали
на европейской сцене в разные периоды.
Мадридский «Реал» шесть раз выигрывал Кубок
европейских чемпионов, причем последний свой
приз завоевал в 1966 году. Английский клуб владел
Кубком чемпионов в 1977 и 1978 годах. Ныне оба клуба
не стали чемпионами своих стран, что. впрочем, на
интересе к финалу Кубка никак не отразилось.
До игры тренеры придерживались разных
позиций. Ливерпулец Боб Пейсли высказывал
тревогу относительно возможного характера
финала, поскольку, по его словам, «мадридцы
демонстрируют излишне резкую борьбу за мяч и
бурный темперамент. У некоторых испанцев он
чересчур бурный». Пейсли опасался, что может
произойти, как он выразился, «взрыв». Своих
футболистов ом хвалил за корректность, отметив,
что за 17 последних лет участия «Ливерпуля» в
европейских кубках ни один игрок ни разу не
удалялся с поля.
Тренер мадридцев Вуядин Бошков утверждал,
что «Реал» сделает ставку на скоростной маневр,
высокую технику работы с мячом,
изобретательность, ибо только так он может
одолеть «четкую организацию игры ливерпульцев».

Как отмечают обозреватели, «Ливерпуль» в
ходе всего финала выглядел предпочтительнее с
позиций организации игры, отлаженных действий,
агрессивности и стремления поддерживать
постоянное давление все 90 минут. Казалось, что
красных футболок (форма «Ливерпуля») на поле
значительно больше, чем положено. Тем не менее
англичанам пришлось ждать до 82-й минуты, когда
наконец их массированное давление принесло
плоды. Полузащитник Рей Кеннеди из-за боковой
вбросил мяч Алану Кеннеди. Защитник ливерпульцев
по диагонали срезал свой путь к воротам, избежал
резкой атаки испанцев и с левой ноги мощно
отправил мяч в сетку. 1:0.
Кеннеди дважды остро атаковал ворота
испанцев еще в первом тайме. В свою очередь, у
мадрйдцев опасными выглядели в атаке Сантильяна
и Камачо. а в некоторых эпизодах и Каннингем.
Ключевой игрок мадридцев Штилике вынужден был в
основном заниматься оборонительной работой и в
атаках участия не принимал.
Итак, «Ливерпуль» вернул себе корону
европейского клубного чемпиона после двух лет.
когда ею владел другой английский клуб — «Ноттингем
Форест».
После игры тренер англичан Пейсли признал,
что матч был тяжелым, с обилием персональных
заданий по опеке с двух сторон, чем он и обьясняет,
что вот уже четвертый раз подряд в финале Кубка
чемпионов фиксируется один и тот же результат —
1:0. «Но я думаю, — добавил Пейсли, — что мы
продемонстрировали более крепкий характер, чем
соперник».
Тренер мадридцев Бошков признал победу
соперника заслуженной: «Ливерпуль» своего рода
футбольная машина. Клуб демонстрирует игру
высокого качества, но не слишком скоростную. И
все же я думаю, что «Ливерпуль» образца 1977 года
был более сильный, чем нынешний».

Томпсон, Хансен, Алан Кеннеди, Рей Кеннеди,
