Michael James Owen

Sepertinya Owen hampir dipastikan dilepas Sir Alex musim depan, hiks ...

Fergie will sacrifice Owen for Welbeck's return
May 22 2011 by Steve Bates, The People

MICHAEL OWEN could play his final game for Manchester United against Blackpool today – with Sir Alex Ferguson committed to Danny Welbeck next season.

The Old Trafford boss would have trouble finding a role for Owen next year, as he rewards striker Welbeck, 20, for an impressive loan spell at Sunderland, where he scored six league goals.

The Black Cats would like England Under-21 forward Welbeck to return – but Ferguson wants him in his squad and may sacrifice Owen, whose two-year contract has come to an end.

Ferguson also has the problem of what to do with Italian Federico Macheda, who went on loan to Sampdoria in January, but had difficulty making an impact.

Sampdoria have gone down to Serie B and Ferguson will speak with the striker, 19, after the Champions League final.

Owen Tak Pernah Bayangkan Juara Bersama United

MANCHESTER – Michael Owen mengaku seperti bermimpi ketika mengangkat trofi Premier League dengan mengenakan seragam Manchester United.

Itu merupakan kali pertama bagi penyerang berjuluk The Wonder Boy merengkuh gelar juara. Tapi hal itu terasa lebih spesial karena dilakukannya bersama klub yang tidak pernah dibayangkan dulunya.

“Jelas ini terasa luar biasa. Anda bisa memiliki karier bagus, namun banyak pemain papan atas yang tidak pernah meraih trofi atau menjadi juara liga,” ujar Owen.

“Saya sendiri merasa bangga dan terhormat bisa bermain dengan banyak pemain, pelatih serta di hadapan fans yang hebat. Ini benar-benar nyata di depan mata saya,” sambungnya seperti dikutip Goal, Senin (23/5/2011).

Dulunya Owen merupakan pemain Liverpool. Namun setelah mengembara ke sejumlah klub, pada 2009 silam dia direkrut Sir Alex Ferguson dengan cuma-cuma dari Newcastle United.

“Sulit dipercaya, tapi Anda memang tidak akan pernah tahu seperti apa perjalanan karier seorang pesepakbola. Bagi saya ini adalah hal yang fantastis dan layak untuk dinikmati setiap menitnya,” pungkas Owen

Winning the title with United tops the lot - Owen
By David Anderson

http://i52.tinypic.com/2eztmx5.jpg

Michael Owen claims finally getting his hands on a Premier League winner's medal is the pinnacle of his glittering 14-year career.

Owen had done virtually everything else, from starring at World Cups to winning FA Cups and being voted European Footballer of the Year to lifting the UEFA Cup.

But the striker says he has fulfilled a lifetime's ambition by winning the title.

Ironically, Owen, 31, has pocketed a winner's medal after making just one start in his 11 league appearances.

He only managed two league goals, including United's fourth against Blackpool at Old Trafford on Sunday during their title party.

However he is still proud to be part of a title-winning side after missing out several times with Liverpool.

"As they say, if you can't beat them, join them," he joked in reference to his Anfield past. "I won a lot of trophies with Liverpool, but to win the Premier League is the pinnacle of anyone's career. I'm very proud.

"I've not played as much as I did last year, but we all have to play our part to win the league and it's been enjoyable, nonetheless. I'm really pleased and proud to have played with a great crop of lads and obviously the manager's second to none."

Owen rubbished talk that United's class of 2011 does not compare to their previous title-winning sides and he claims everyone in Fergie's huge squad has played their part.

Twenty-one players played the requisite 10 games to qualify for winner's medals and Owen says that shows the depth of United's squad.

"It's a great team, in my eyes," he said. "Throughout the year you'd look at the team and think 'he's essential' and then he'd dip out of form or somebody else would come back from injury or come into form. The amount of goals that have been spread around the team is fantastic.

"Everyone's played a part, even the lads who have only played a couple of games, the likes of Wes Brown and Gary Neville, for instance.

"They're all great members of the squad. We live with these guys day in and day out and they're even more important than people would think."

Having finally won the Premier League, Owen could complete the box set of winner's medals at Wembley on Saturday without playing.

Owen is expected to be on the bench for the Champions League Final in what is expected to be his last act as a United player before his contract expires next month.

The former Real Madrid star has still contributed to United's Euro campaign and revealed he has been playing as David Villa in training games.

"A lot of what we are doing in training is focused on stopping Barcelona," he said. "I was even playing as David Villa on the left wing in training trying to mimic how Barcelona play."

Owen eyes perfect final
26/05/2011 09:00, Report by Nick Coppack

http://www.manutd.com/~/media/5DA7427A0DCC4EE4B97B6547EEB0089E.ashx?h=179&la=ar-SA&w=480&rgn=0,193,537,392

Michael Owen admits it would be a dream to score on Saturday against Barcelona, in a game he describes as “the perfect final”.

The Reds striker, who netted United's last goal of the 2010/11 domestic campaign against Blackpool at Old Trafford, has never played in a Champions League final. He's not convinced he'll start this one, either, but insists he'll be ready should he be called upon from the bench.

“We have such a good squad here so we'll have to wait and see [if I feature]. But if I'm on the bench and I'm brought on then I'd love to score, obviously. But I've got to get on the bench first before I can even think about getting on the pitch.

“It doesn't frustrate me [starting so few games]. If I was at a smaller club then I'd never be involved in any big games. At least here at United I've got a chance of playing in them.”

Games don't come much bigger than United and Barcelona in a European Cup final.

“It's a cracking game,” Owen said. “If you look at European football then you'd say it's the ideal final. I think the purists and the neutrals would probably say Barcelona and United are the best two teams in Europe right now. It's the perfect final.”

The same was said of the 2009 showpiece in Rome, and that ended in tears for the Reds. On that occasion, Barcelona won 2-0, despite a bright start by Sir Alex Ferguson's men. Indeed, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ji-sung Park both had good chances in the opening 10 minutes to put the Reds ahead, before goals by Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi clinched the silverware.

Owen wasn't at Old Trafford then, although he has watched the tapes of that match in the build-up to this Saturday's fixture.

“We try not to speak about Rome too much, to be honest,” he said. “We don't want any negative thoughts going through our minds. We're just focusing on what we do best and how we can play against Barcelona.

“But what I will say is that if you look at the game in Rome, we were outstanding in the 15 minutes. If we'd scored a goal it would have been a different game.

“We have to make sure we score that goal this time.”

iya... dengan caps 48 kali bermain (kebanyakan jadi cadangan), dan 14 gol... :devil2::devil2:

meski chicharito lebih efektif... dengan 44 caps, dan 20 gol..pirate*

tapi dengan presentase efektifitas yg nyaris 0,5 goal per pertandingan... Owen pantas untuk bertahan...

[marsel david]

kenapa feeling saya kok kuat bgt klo Owen akan bertahan ya... hehehehehe...

tapi nomer 7 nya ga kan bertahan kayknya bro.. hehehe

[Blacklist7]

tapi nomer 7 nya ga kan bertahan kayknya bro.. hehehe

hahahaha.. andai Berba out... mungkin duet England akan kembali lagi... ROON9Y - 10WEN

kalaupun tidak seperti itu... feeling sepertinya Owen mengenakan no "special" yg tidak diduga orang lain.. atau tetap mengenakan no 7... hehehehe

[Andi Istiabudi]

Saya pikir tadi Sir Alex bakal memasukkan Owen di sekitar menit ke-80, tapi kok malah tidak ada pergantian pemain lagi yach hingga injury time ? Seandainya Owen masuk, hmmm siapa tahu ada kejutan. Seandainya ....

[ncut_lgx]

Semoga diperpanjang deh minimal setahun lagi, gpp deh jika nanti cuma turun di ajang Carling Cup dan FA Cup lalu dipasangkan dengan Welbeck, hehehe ...

Michael Owen: Barcelona Terlalu Luar Biasa
Striker Manchester United Michael Owen mengakui kelas Barcelona.

Kekalahan 3-1 dari Barcelona di final Liga Champions tidak menjadi sesuatu hal yang menyakitkan bagi Manchester United, begitu menurut Michael Owen.

Bukan tanpa alasan ia menyebut demikian. Menurutnya, United kalah dengan cara yang tak bisa dipertanyakan.

"Para pemain terpukul, tapi kami sama sekali tidak memprotes kekalahan ini," katanya, Senin (30/5).

"Barcelona tetaplah tim yang luar biasa dan juara sejati. Para pemain sudah memberikan yang terbaik yang mereka bisa, tapi mereka terlalu bagus untuk bisa kami kalahkan," ungkapnya.

"Toh kami tetap memiliki musim yang bagus," lanjut Owen menghibur diri.

Seandainya Berbatov jadi dilepas posisi Owen juga belum tentu aman kan ?

[marsel david]

Seandainya Berbatov jadi dilepas posisi Owen juga belum tentu aman kan ?

berba dilepas pun tetep berat oom rasanya..
apalagi permainan chicharito yg impresif..
semoga opa bisa mempetimbangkan owen buat jadi back up sipa tau ntar krisis striker

Oh Michael Owen's little,
But he knows how to score,
and when we played Man City,
He banged in number four.
He used to be a Scouser,
But knows that they are w*nk,
And when we win the leadership (premiership),
He'll say that I'm a Manc!!!

[dqbullin]

Baru ngerasain ge;ar juara EPL pertama sama MU langsung ada rumor bakal dilepas..
tapi kalo diliat dari beberapa statement dia di twitter terakhir ini, dia sangat bangga bisa bermain bersama MU meski lebih sering duduk di bangku cadangan dan apabila main pun sebagai pemain pengganti..

[ncut_lgx]

akhirnya :( akhir musim tiba
owen pasti dilepas, hix..
at least pernah ngerasain pegang trophy
en ngerasain pake patch BPL *musim kmaren*
hehe

Mungkin pertimbangan Owen adalah meski cuma jadi pemain cadangan tapi kesempatan meraih banyak gelar bersama Manchester United terbuka lebar. Belum lagi namanya akan semakin terkenal mengingat United memiliki jumlah penggemar yang banyak di dunia, khususnya di Asia.

BREAKING NEWS :-bd

Owen extends Old Trafford stay

Michael Owen's contract has been extended for a further year, in a deal that will see the forward complete a third season as a first-team player.

Sir Alex Ferguson said: "Michael has proved to be a top footballer. It’s unfortunate Michael didn’t get more opportunities but the form of Chicharito put everyone in the shade and his partnership with Rooney proved invaluable. I am delighted Michael is staying for a further year and we will look to give him more opportunities in the new season.”

Michael Owen said: “I’m delighted to have agreed a one-year extension to my contract. To play alongside so many great players, under an exceptional manager, and in front of so many incredibly passionate supporters, is a real inspiration. I can’t wait for next season to start."

Owen Setahun Lagi di United
Kris Fathoni W - detiksport

Manchester - Michael Owen sedang senang. Penyerang asal Inggris tersebut baru saja mendapatkan kontrak baru dari klubnya saat ini, Manchester United.

Owen direkrut MU pada musim panas 2009 lalu dengan status bebas transfer, setelah sebelumnya ia membela Newcastle United. Owen dikontrak dua tahun.

Kontrak pemain yang akan genap berusia 32 tahun pada bulan Desember mendatang itu habis musim panas ini. Setelah sempat dispekulasikan, Owen akhirnya disodori kontrak baru untuk setahun ke depan yang disambutnya dengan sukacita.

"Aku senang sudah menyetujui perpanjangan kontrak setahun ke depan," ujar Owen di situs MU.

"Bisa bermain di samping sedemikian banyak pemain hebat, di bawah manajer luar biasa, dan di depan sebegitu banyak pendukung antusias, adalah inspirasi dahsyat. Aku tidak sabar menanti musim depan dimulai," lanjutnya.

Kontrak baru Owen ini sedikit banyak membuat masa depan rekan setimnya, Dimitar Berbatov, kian jadi spekulasi. Pasalnya, Berbatov sepertinya juga sudah terpinggirkan oleh duet Wayne Rooney dan Javier Hernandez.

"Michael sudah membuktikan dirinya sebagai pemain top. Sayangnya ia tidak mendapat kesempatan lebih banyak tapi performa Chicharito sudah membuat yang lainnya berada di bawah bayang-bayang dan kerjasamanya dengan Rooney terbukti tidak tergantikan," ujar Fergie.

Dengan Owen bertahan setahun lagi, dan beberapa penyerang yang dipinjamkan MU akan kembali ke Old Trafford, entah di mana posisi Berbatov dalam proyeksi Manajer MU Sir Alex Ferguson.

[VaDLi]

bermain selama 450 menit di musim 2010-2011 dan mencetak 5 gol artinya rata-rata 1 gol per 90 menit menurut gw masih terbilang produktif...
bukan ga mungkin kalo owen bisa bersaing ama chicharito, atau jadi duetnya jika rooney bermain di belakang striker.

[finza_13]

MO7 tipe pemain yg pantas diteladani,dia rela dibayar hanya untuk pertandingan yg dia mainkan saja dan dia hanya ingin bermain di pertandingan besar saja (LFC tentunya :peace:)

Michael pantas mendapatkan itu =D>

Gimme 5: Owen goals

Michael Owen's extended his United stay by another year. Here are five of his best goals for the Reds...

22 Aug 2009: Wigan 0-5 United
Owen’s first goal in a United shirt rewound the clock with the sort of cool, clipped finish that dominated his early years.

20 Sep 2009: United 4-3 City
He may never top this moment. An unerring finish, deep into injury time, to win a thrilling Manchester derby. Unforgettable.

8 Dec 2009: Wolfsburg 1-3 United
Michael sealed his hat-trick with a superb solo run against the then German champions.

10 Feb 2010: United 2-1 Aston Villa
Owen helped the Reds to Carling Cup silverware with this neat goal in the Wembley final before limping off with a hamstring injury.

22 May 2011: United 4-2 Blackpool
There’s only ever one winner – Michael Owen – when the striker goes one on one with the goalkeeper.

Mungkin ini buah dari kesabaran Owen yang tidak pernah mengeluh menjadi pemain cadangan. Apalagi mungkin Sir Alex punya pertimbangan bahwa United masih butuh kehadiran striker senior yang sarat pengalaman untuk memotivasi striker muda United lainnya.

Hahaha semoga cepat sembuh yach !
Mungkin ini buah dari kesabaran Owen yang tidak pernah mengeluh menjadi pemain cadangan. Apalagi mungkin Sir Alex punya pertimbangan bahwa United masih butuh kehadiran striker senior yang sarat pengalaman untuk memotivasi striker muda United lainnya.

hahha kan david bilang mau nge sms..
kalo punya nomernya udah di sms tuh.
hehehe

Medali berikutnya yang bakal dikoleksi Owen sepertinya medali Community Shield deh dimana United bakal menjamu City. Ayo Owen gelarmu di United harus lebih banyak dibanding gelarmu bersama Liverpool, hehehe ...

Oh Michael Owen's little,
But he knows how to score,
and when we played Man City,
He banged in number four.
He used to be a Scouser,
But knows that they are w*nk,
And when we win the leadership (premiership),
He'll say that I'm a Manc!!!

Sir Alex Ferguson banks on Michael Owen to pass on wealth of experience to Manchester United young guns
Eyebrows were raised at Manchester United’s decision to hand Michael Owen a new one-year contract earlier this week, but the former England forward can credit Sir Alex Ferguson’s admiration of AC Milan for his extended stay at Old Trafford.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01911/michael-owen_1911456c.jpg

Despite naming Owen in his Premier League starting XI just once last season, Ferguson believes that the 31 year-old’s experience at the highest level is an invaluable quality and one which overrides his limited involvement on the pitch.

With Edwin van der Sar and Paul Scholes this week following Gary Neville into retirement, Ferguson has lost a collective well of experience totalling 1,544 Manchester United appearances from his first-team squad.

Which is why Owen has been retained for a further year and a key factor in Ferguson’s attempts, ultimately futile, to delay Scholes’s retirement for 12 months.

The United manager’s philosophy is that knowledge and experience outweigh minutes on the pitch when determining the ongoing contribution of his senior professionals and it is one he has adopted as a result of his respect for the approach taken by Milan.

While many clubs dispense with players approaching their mid-30s in favour of youth and potential, Milan have consistently bucked the trend, with the likes of Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Costacurta, Cafu and Clarence Seedorf all performing central roles for the rossoneri during their domestic and European successes in recent years, despite being into their mid-30s and beyond.

Ferguson, who has also ensured that United follow Bayern Munich’s blueprint of appointing former players, such as academy director Brian McClair, first-team coach Mike Phelan and former reserve coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, to key internal positions, believes Milan have led the way in exploiting experience by relying on seasoned performers more readily than their rivals.

Ryan Giggs, at 37, continues to justify Ferguson’s faith, but while Owen is unlikely to disturb the Wayne Rooney-Javier Hernandez strike partnership next season, Ferguson believes that the mere presence of the one-time European Footballer of the Year alongside the likes of Hernandez, Danny Welbeck and Federico Macheda will prove as valuable as any goal he scores next year.

Baca artikelnya agak sulit nih, terlalu mepet tulisannya hehe ... :D

[Blacklist7]

Sebenarnya saya penasaran, ada apa kok musti nunggu tahun 2012...
kenapa Paul Scholes, Giggs dan VDS diminta bermain semusim lagi...

dari berita diatas, memang benar bahwa Sir Alex masih membutuhkan pemain tua untuk memberikan pengalaman dan mental juara untuk dijadikan panutan bagi pemain muda United...

feeling saya sepertinya akan ada class of 2012.. seiring banyaknya pemain Reserve yg bermutu dan pinjaman yg akan kembali... hehehehe...

well saya tetep percaya "In SAF We Trust"

Kata Owen Tentang Perpanjangan Kontrak di MU
Sejak 2009, Owen telah tampil 30 kali dan mencetak 5 gol untuk MU di Premier League.

VIVAnews - Michael Owen baru saja menandatangani perpanjangan kontrak bersama Manchester United. Kontrak pemain kelahiran Chester ini diperpanjang selama 12 bulan. Artinya, ia akan berada di Old Trafford hingga 1 Juni 2012.

Menanggapi kontraknya yang baru, Owen merasa senang dan langsung menatap musim depan dengan penuh optimisme. Pemain 31 tahun ini telah dua tahun bermain bersama MU dan sebelumnya diprediksi akan pindah pada musim panas ini.

“Saya sangat senang dengan perpanjangan kontrak satu tahun ini,” ujar Owen seperti dilansir Click Manchester.

"Bisa bermain bersama sedemikian banyak pemain hebat, di bawah manajer luar biasa, dan di depan sebegitu banyak pendukung antusias menjadi sebuah inspirasi luar biasa. Saya tidak sabar menanti musim depan dimulai," lanjutnya.

Sejak 2009, Owen telah tampil 30 kali dan mencetak 5 gol untuk MU di Premier League. Owen juga menjadi satu-satunya mantan pemain Liverpool yang meraih trofi Premier League pada musim ini.

Kontrak baru Owen ini membuat persaingan di lini depan The Red Devils semakin panas. Selain Owen, MU juga masih memiliki Dimitar Berbatov, Wayne Rooney dan Javier Hernandez untuk stok penyerang.

Owen Ingin Pensiun di Level Tertinggi

Manchester, detiksport - Michael Owen mungkin akan menutup kariernya dalam beberapa tahun ke depan. Dia pun sudah bertekad untuk gantung sepatu saat berada di puncak permainan.

Owen belum lama ini menandatangani perpanjangan kontrak selama satu tahun dengan Manchester United. Kesepakatan baru ini membuatnya akan bertahan di Old Trafford hingga usianya melewati angka 32 tahun.

Meski jarang dimainkan oleh Sir Alex Ferguson, Owen merasa dirinya masih punya peran penting di MU. Dia pun yakin masih sanggup bersaing di level tertinggi.

"Saya mencintai sepakbola dan saya senang bermain sepakbola, tapi saya pasti tidak akan jadi salah satu pemain yang turun level dan semua sisanya," cetus Owen kepada Sky Sports News HD.

"Saya ingin mundur ketika saya dalam kondisi yang bagus dan puncak permainan saya," tegasnya.

"Kita semua tahu bahwa semua orang akan termakan usia. Saya dan semua orang juga tahu bahwa saya saat berusia 18, 19, 20 tahun dua kali lebih hebat daripada saya sekarang," lanjut mantan pemain Liverpool, Real Madrid, dan Newcastle United ini.

"Tapi, manajer berpikir saya masih cukup bagus untuk bermain sebagai bagian tim dan lebih penting lagi saya merasa masih mampu berkontribusi untuk tim," tandas Owen.

"Karier saya mungkin masih akan dua, tiga, atau empat tahun lagi. Tapi, itu saja," simpulnya.

I’m still g-Owen strong
From NEIL CUSTIS in Seattle

MICHAEL OWEN wants to prove he is not finished yet as a top-class striker.

Owen, 31, has been handed a one-year contract extension at Manchester United despite starting just four games last season.

But he scored the first goal of United's pre-season tour of America in the 4-1 victory over New England Revolution.

And he is sure that, given the chance, he can play a big part in the club retaining the Premier League title next season.

Owen said: "I always have high hopes and go into the new season with optimism.

"The club took the option to extend my contract and that fills you with confidence because it makes you feel part of the team.

"You feel wanted by the manager and, when he told me towards the end of the season that he wanted me to stay, I was delighted.

"The manager obviously saw something that made him want to keep me and he says I will be involved a lot more this year, so I am hoping that's the case.

"I want to play a bit more and be successful - and it's important to me to do that.

"It's easy to be confident when you know you can do it and I've done it thousands of times before.

"Some people may have short memories but I haven't. I know what I'm capable of and everyone at the club does too.

"We have some top players, it isn't easy playing every week when you have so many top players. But I'm relaxed about it and confident of doing well."

Owen is entering his third season at United and the last campaign gave him the first title medal of his career.

Although he knows that one start, 10 substitute appearances and two goals hardly had a big impact on United's record 19th title as they surpassed his former club Liverpool.

He added: "When you have something you really want, you're delighted to achieve it - and I was delighted to win the title.

"But part of you wants another one and to play a bigger part next time."

Owen is a successful racehorse owner but denies that will ever take priority over football while he is fit enough to play.

He said: "That'll never be my career, it's just a big passion of mine that will always be there in the background.

"Football is my main passion and everyone knows that."

Owen said midway through last season that if United did not keep him on, he would probably retire rather than drop down the leagues.

He added: "Thank God I never had to think about that."

Morgan Kembali Serang Owen Lewat Twitter

http://assets.kompas.com/data/photo/2011/07/19/1738112p.jpg

KOMPAS.com — Piers Morgan, seorang jurnalis dan presenter televisi asal Inggris, kembali menyerang Michael Owen lewat tweet-nya di situs jejaring sosial Twitter. Pria yang lebih dikenal banyak orang sebagai juri beberapa acara reality show ini mencecar Owen dengan mengatakan bahwa saat ini ia adalah penghangat bangku cadangan dan penendang penalti terburuk bagi Liverpool di masa lalu.

Perdebatan Morgan dengan Owen terjadi pada 18 Juli 2011. Hal itu diawali oleh tweet juri Britain's Got Talent itu yang menanyakan perihal kegagalan Owen mencetak gol lewat penalti dengan menggagalkan 10 dari 23 kesempatan yang didapatnya bersama Liverpool dahulu. Ia pun mengecam penyerang berusia 31 tahun itu dengan menyebutnya sebagai penendang penalti terburuk sepanjang masa.

"Hanya mengonfirmasi bahwa kau adalah penendang penalti terburuk Liverpool sepanjang masa, Benchwarmer. Aku akan mendengarkan saranku bila aku adalah kau," kata Morgan lewat akun Twitter-nya, @piersmorgan.

"Lalu apa teorimu tentang golf? Memasukkan bola ke lubang dengan pukulan sesedikit mungkin? Terima kasih untuk nasihatnya. #piers'wordsofwisdom," balas Owen sarkastis, juga lewat akun Twitter-nya, @themichaelowen.

"Teoriku tentang golf sama dengan sepak bola—Duduk menunggu untuk jangka waktu lama tidak direkomendasikan untuk (menggapai) sukses #Benchwarmer."

"Tidak ada yang lebih buruk daripada seseorang yang tidak pernah menendang bola menasihati yang lain cara untuk melakukannya. Aku yakin para perempuan dari AS akan menerima nasihat Piers Morgan."

Perdebatan ini bukan baru pertama kali terjadi antara mereka berdua. Pada April 2011 lalu, Morgan mengeluarkan tweet yang menyuruh Owen untuk pensiun dari sepak bola karena terlalu sering melewatkan waktu di bangku cadangan. Lalu Owen menjawab bahwa ia lebih memilih bermain selama 25 menit untuk klub seperti Manchester United daripada bermain 90 menit untuk "tim yang sedang berjuang", yang kemungkinan ditujukan untuk Arsenal, tim favorit Morgan.

Perdebatan pun berlangsung sampai akhirnya Owen memutuskan untuk menghentikannya dan mengatakan, "Menikmati BBQ bersama keluarga. Mendengar kabar tentang kekalahan Arsenal. Hari yang indah!"

"Semoga kau tersedak sosis bakarmu sendiri," balas Morgan.

Tidak jelas alasan ketidaksenangan Morgan terhadap Owen, tetapi ia juga sering memulai perdebatan dengan beberapa punggawa tim "Setan Merah" lainnya, seperti Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, dan Wayne Rooney. Ia juga pernah memancing kontroversi dengan mengatakan bahwa ia tidak akan pernah mengundang Madonna ke acara televisinya, Piers Morgan Tonight. Ia beralasan, "Madonna sangat membosankan."

Owen Antusias Sambut Musim Baru

Bola.net - Striker veteran Manchester United, Michael Owen, mulai menatap musim kompetisi 2011-2012 dengan antusiasme tinggi.

Owen selama ini memang bukan menjadi pilihan utama di United. Owen pun jarang dimainkan, apalagi dengan semakin moncernya duet Wayne Rooney dan Javier Hernandez, bahkan seorang Dimitar Berbatov juga harus tersisih dari tempat utama meski terus mencetak gol.

Namun, performa menawan Owen di tur pra-musim United di Amerika Serikat membawa sedikit harapan bagi striker berusia 31 tahun tersebut, Owen yang terus mencetak gol di dua pertandingan uji coba optimis dengan mampu bersaing musim depan.

"Saya berada dalam tim terbaik di dunia," ujar Owen.

"Sangat menyenangkan bisa menjadi bagian dari skuad yang selalu kompetitif," tambah striker Liverpool dan Newcastle tersebut.

"United setiap musim selalu memainkan banyak laga, kami bisa bermain 20 atau 30 pertandingan lebih banyak dari klub lain di Liga Premier Inggris, jadi begitu banyak kesempatan."

"Anda takkan pernah tahu kapan pelatih akan meminta anda untuk bermain dan sangat menyenangkan bisa menjadi bagian dari itu," tanda Owen.

Musim ini persaingan para striker United semakin ketat, hal tersebut dengan kembalinya beberapa pemain pinjaman yang juga menunjukkan peningkatan kualitas seperti, Federico Macheda dan juga Danny Welbeck. (tri/end)

Mungkinkah jika United tidak memperpanjang kontraknya lagi Owen akan berlaga di MLS ? Hmmm ...

Owen Tak Sabar Reuni Dengan Beckham

Bola.net - Jelang pertandingan lawan MLS All Star, striker Manchester United Michael Owen mengaku tak sabar berhadapan langsung dengan mantan rekan setimnya di Real Madrid dan timnas Inggris, David Beckham.

Beckham termasuk dalam deretan pemain MLS All Star yang akan bertanding lawan United. Selain Beckham juga ada nama-nama seperti Thierry Henry dan Landon Donovan.

Owen yang akhir musim lalu menandatangani perpanjangan kontrak satu tahun di Old Trafford, pernah bermain satu tim dengan Beckham lima tahun lalu di Real Madrid.

"Kami sangat senang dia (Beckham) akan bermain," kata Owen seperti dilansir Football 365.

"Ini bukan pertama kali dia bermain lawan United, tapi pertandingan ini tetap spesial untuknya. Dia adalah pemain papan atas dan saya senang bertemu lagi dengannya,"

"Saat saya bermain di Spanyol, Madrid punya Zinedine Zidane dan David Beckham. Sekarang, mungkin kami berada pada level yang berebda. Tapi saya tetap antusias melihat bagaimana sambutan orang-orang di sini," (f365/zul)

Owen Sudah Lupakan Timnas Inggris

Bola.net - Striker veteran Manchester United, Michael Owen, menegaskan dirinya kini tak lagi memimpikan bisa kembali memperkuat timnas Inggris.

Pemain berusia 31 tahun tersebut, hanya akan fokus untuk memberikan yang terbaik bagi United dan berusaha untuk tampil lebih banyak lagi musim depan.

"Saya masih sangat kecewa sejak pertama kali saya tidak masuk dalam skuad Fabio Capello," ujar Owen.

"Tapi jika hal itu terjadi 10 kali dan anda masih tetap berusaha untuk masuk ke dalam skuadnya, maka hal itu merupakan pekerjaan yang konyol," tambahnya.

"Jadi, saya sudah tak lagi memikirkan hal ini," tandas Owen.

Owen menjadi anggota skuad Inggris pertama kali pada tahun 1998, debut pertamanya adalah ketika mengalami kekalahan dari Chili dengan skor 2-0 pada 11 Februari 1998.

Pada 26 Agustus, Owen melakoni laga ke-89 dan gol ke 40-nya yang sekaligus akhir dari perjalanan Owen bersama timnas Inggris. (tri/end)

Bisa jadi sebaliknya, Welbeck dan Macheda lebih sering turun di FA dan Carling, sementara Michael Owen diplot sebagai cadangan tim utama bersama Berbatov.

[tumpal_oneunited]

Bisa jadi sebaliknya, Welbeck dan Macheda lebih sering turun di FA dan Carling, sementara Michael Owen diplot sebagai cadangan tim utama bersama Berbatov.

Iya,,bisa jadi seperti itu bro..
Tapi melihat apa yang Sir Alex lakukan di dua partai terakhir United, Welbeck yang bakal jadi cadangan di tim utama, tentunya setelah Chicharito sembuh..

[Andi Istiabudi]

Musim kompetisi masih panjang, bisa jadi nanti ada kejutan seperti peminjaman striker United ke klub lain di tengah musim. Selama Michael Owen tidak mengeluh ke media atau cidera parah, Sir Alex pasti tidak akan melupakannya (minimal sebagai pemain cadangan tim utama).

Michael Owen insists Manchester United are not afraid of Barcelona

The striker has conceded the Spanish giants outplayed them in last season's Champions League final, but believes a change of tactics by the Red Devils could reverse their fortunes

Despite losing 3-1 to the Spanish giants in last seasons Champions League final, the 31-year-old feels that a change of tactics by Sir Alex Ferguson could see the Red Devils triumph.

"If we played Barcelona again in the final, then we'd have to do something differently because they obviously outplayed us on the night," Owen told Inside United.

"Then again, I don't think there's any shame in losing to a team like that.

“We're not ashamed of how we played at Wembley but, if we played them again, then I do think we'd have to look at adopting a slightly different approach.

"On that one night's evidence, you'd have to say that there was a gap between the two sides because they beat us quite convincingly.

“But that was a one-off game. We wouldn't be frightened of playing them again, that's for sure."

Despite struggling with injuries so far in the current campaign, Owen cannot wait to play in Europe’s elite football competition, with United beginning their campaign away to Benfica.

He added: "I can't wait. The beauty of playing for a club like Manchester United is that you have a good chance of winning every competition you take part in.

"You're expected to win as well, which is good pressure to have placed on you. This year will be no different.

"We have to forget what happened last year - and we would have done that even if we'd beaten Barcelona - and start again. We have some great memories from last year's competition, even though it ended disappointingly.

"Now we start again and the aim is to win the competition."

Michael Owen leaps to the defence of England's Rugby World Cup stars

Manchester United forward Michael Owen has defended England’s under fire rugby World Cup stars, after Mike Tindall and co. hit the headlines following a boozy night on the town in New Zealand.

Having been granted a night off following their unconvincing 13-9 group opener against Argentina - Tindall, Chris Ashton, Dylan Hartley and others were photographed being jovially rowdy in a Queenstown bar.

The reaction has been less than favourable, especially as the booze-fuelled antics come on the back of an underwhelming showing on the field, but veteran striker Owen has been quick to offer his backing to his fellow sportsmen.

‘Why the fuss? Have our rugby players done that much wrong? Hard enough to win a World Cup without people making something out of nothing,’ wrote Owen on his Twitter page.

The former Three Lions star knows all about the pressures and strain of top level sport, having represented England in five major tournaments throughout his career.

Owen is known to be vehemently against professional sportsmen being held to account for their indiscretions away from the field, and recently expressed his feelings in a conversation on Twitter.

When Daily Mirror journalist Oliver Holt posted his belief that the ‘footballers are role models and should conduct themselves as so’ argument was foolish, Owen put across a similar point.

‘I agree. Just because someone is good at kicking a ball around doesn't mean separate rules should be thrust upon them,’ wrote the former Liverpool poacher.

‘They should be aware of their responsibilities but parents should primarily be responsible for their kids behaviour.

‘My parents were and still are my role models. I had favourite footballers but my Dad was the person I wanted to be like.’

Owen: No regrets on United move

http://images.teamtalk.com/11/07/402x210/Michael-Owen-Manchester-United_2621852.jpg

Michael Owen admits he is under no illusions about the size of the task facing him in earning a regular first-team shirt at Manchester United.

Even when Sir Alex Ferguson offered Owen a new contract at the end of last season, he knew there would be no guarantees about playing.

As it has turned out, Owen is yet to play a single minute this season.

The statistic should change at Leeds on Tuesday evening but with the emergence of Danny Welbeck, the 31-year-old finds himself at number five on the United pecking order.

For someone who still stands at number four on the all-time England scorers chart and was rated as Europe's top striker in his pomp, it could be viewed as a disappointing end to his career.

But Owen is having none of it. Even if he didn't play another game for the Red Devils, he would have no regrets about the journey.

"I understand you cannot be given guarantees in football," he told the Manchester Evening News. "As last season drew to an end I was 50-50 about what the manager would say when he called me in.

"If it had gone the other way I wouldn't have been upset. I am proud to have been involved with such a great club. But secretly when he said he wanted me to stay my fist was clenched under the table.

"We are all men about it. If I didn't play at all during the season I would sit down with the manager and have another chat.

"But last summer he was keen to keep me and that was enough."

Owen admits it is a relatively new experience being so far down the pecking order, although he did have a problem during his short stint at Real Madrid when he found Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane barring his way.

However, he is experienced enough to be prepared for whatever challenge faces him.

"I have been a striker for many years," he reflected.

"I have been the number one choice and had people chomping at my heels. Now it is roles reversed but I can think of a lot worse places to be.

"When I train it is with the best players. When I play it is in front of fantastic fans in a great stadium and the quality is high.

"Who knows what the future holds. I hope I can be involved but I am not stupid there are a lot of top players here and if my chances are limited I will still have a smile on my face and still feel part of a fantastic club."

Owen Tak Menyesal Perpanjang Kontrak di MU

http://klimg.com/bola.net/library/p/owen-1708afp.jpg

Bola.net - Michael Owen menegaskan bahwa ia tidak menyesal dengan keputusannya memperpanjang kontraknya di Old Trafford, meski ia akhirnya akan kembali berlama-lama duduk di bangku cadangan.

Di penghujung musim lalu, Sir Alex Ferguson memutuskan untuk menyodori perpanjangan kontrak kepada striker veteran yang kontraknya akan habis pada musim panas lalu itu.

"Saya mengerti tidak ada yang bisa menggaransi Anda di sepak bola," kata Owen pada Manchester Evening News. "Seperti musim lalu saat peluang saya 50-50 tiba-tiba manajer meminta saya untuk bertahan."

Owen pun menerima tawaran tersebut, meski ia tahu tak mudah untuk mendapatkan tempat utama karena bersaing dengan pemain yang lebih muda seperti Dimitar Berbatov, Javier Hernandez, atau pun Wayne Rooney.

"Jika saya tak bisa bermain banyak di sepanjang musim ini saya tak akan marah atau kecewa. Saya bangga bisa bergabung dengan klub sehebat ini," tegasnya. (tt/mxm)

Semakin tua Owen semakin bijak. Semoga dia bisa menjadi contoh dan teladan bagi pemain muda United lainnya ...

Owen Senang Cetak Gol dan Bantu Pemain Muda United

http://klimg.com/bola.net/library/p/owen-2109ap.jpg

Bola.net - Michael Owen mencetak dua gol saat Manchester United menang 3-0 di kandang Leeds United pada babak ketiga Piala Liga (Carling Cup), Rabu (21/9) dini hari WIB.

Owen yang dimainkan sebagi starter mencetak dua gol pertama United sebelum Ryan Giggs mencetak gol ketiga pada akhir babak pertama.

Meski tampil tanpa mayoritas pemain inti, Owen tetap memuji permainan United dan ia mengaku senang bisa membantu pemain-pemain muda United.

"Babak pertama sangat baik, kami bermain dengan umpan-umpan yang sangat baik dan membuat sulit lawan," kata Owen usai pertandingan pada Sky Sports.

"Babak kedua tak terlalu baik karena kami ingin mempertahankan penguasaan bola dan menekan mereka, tapi kami tak banyak memiliki pemain pengganti,"

"Selalu menyenangkan bisa mencetak gol, ini mungkin jadi pertandingan saya dalam setahun terakhir tapi anda juga harus memberi kontribusi pada area lain. Saya senang bisa mencetak gol,"

"Saya mencoba untuk memberi contoh pada pemain muda dan membantu mereka bila diperlukan,"

"Saya sudah 31 tahun dan tinggal beberapa musim lagi bermain sepak bola, tapi ada tugas berbeda pada periode karir anda dan saya sedang melakukannya hari ini," pungkas Owen. (sky/zul)

Owen Ingin Terus Tampil Untuk United

Bola.net - Michael Owen mengatakan jika ia ingin bermain sepanjang waktu setelah dua golnya membantu Manchester United mengalahkan Leeds 3-0 di babak ketiga Piala Liga.

Penyerang gaek itu pun berharap jika torehan 11 gol dari 12 laga terakhirnya sebagai starter akan membuatnya mendapatkan peran yang lebih banyak di tim utama Setan Merah.

"Saya tak puas jika saya tak bermain," ucapnya pada para reporter usai laga di Elland Road itu.

"Saya dikritik dengan perkataan macam 'Kamu tak bermain, ambil saja bayaranmu' dan semacamnya, namun saya tak bangga akan fakta itu. Saya ingin bermain sepanjang waktu."

Owen juga berharap jika ia bisa mengulangi performa musim pertamanya di Old Trafford di mana ia tampil dalam 31 laga di semua ajang namun ia tetap sadar akan peluangnya jika mengingat kekuatan skuad United saat ini.

"Jika musim ini akan seperti musim pertama saya di sini, maka saya akan merasa senang. Itu fantastis dan saya merasa terlibat, saya selalu berada di bangku cadangan ataupun bermain di lapangan," tambahnya.

"Tentunya saya ingin kembali terlibat namun saya menghargai jika ada sejumlah pemain top dalam tim dan skuad ini, dan merupakan tantangan untuk masuk tim cadangan, apalagi ke tim utama." (espn/row)

The anniversary Michael Owen would rather forget, and goals can't hide

As the occasional Manchester United striker, who got a double at Leeds in the Carling Cup, nears the unwanted landmark of a year without a league start, could this season be his last?

As anniversaries go, it is not one Michael Owen will wish to celebrate. Deep down, he may feel aggrieved, maybe a little embarrassed, though it is not always easy to tell. With Owen, if there are occasional moments of insecurity, he is as talented at hiding them as he was, in his pomp, at eluding centre-halves.

The date will be 2 October. Two weekends, in other words, until we reach a full year since Owen last started a league game in Manchester United's colours: a goalless draw at Sunderland he would probably rather forget. Owen made only one pass that day in the final third of the pitch, and it was a five-yard pass backwards. He did not have a single shot and was substituted at half-time.

What Owen demonstrated at Elland Road on Tuesday was a poke in the ribs to those who had been lulled into thinking of him in the past tense. His second goal in particular was a moment that invited memories of those glory times when we were all that bit more accustomed to that triumphant smile, the right arm aloft.

Except Owen talked afterwards of knowing it would not change anything. "You don't get many chances," he said. "When you do, you have to perform because it's going to be a couple of months before you see a pitch again."

It is a strange existence. Owen qualified for a Premier League winner's medal last season but it was a close-run thing. Ten of his 11 appearances were as a substitute and his one meaningful contribution was the equaliser in a 2-2 draw at Bolton Wanderers. In total, Owen has started 16 games since his free transfer from Newcastle United in July 2009. A further 33 appearances have come as a substitute and there have been 16 goals.

Ferguson talked of a player whose "goals-per-game ratio is fantastic" but continues to overlook him for the matches that really matter. Of Owen's 16 starts, only six have come in the league, at an average of one every four and a half months. Almost a third of his goals have been in the Carling Cup, against Scunthorpe United, Barnsley and, finally, a Leeds United team that did not seem to comprehend even the basics of what it meant to invite Manchester United into Elland Road.

Ferguson cited the presence of Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernández and Dimitar Berbatov but the cold, harsh reality for Owen is that he has also fallen behind Danny Welbeck and is, at best, fifth-choice striker now. At other times, Federico Macheda's presence has meant the man who collected the Ballon d'Or in 2001 having to watch matches in a suit. Owen did make it on to the bench for the Champions League final against Barcelona in May but was not used and his presence, ahead of Berbatov, became one of the great team-selection controversies of Ferguson's quarter of a century in charge.

On the face of it, there is nothing particularly unusual about seeing a once-feared striker who has reached the point when he will admit he is in decline. Football is littered with men who reach their 30s and can understand what the old baseball pitcher Vernon Gomez meant when he talked of "throwing the ball just as hard as I ever did – it's just not getting there as fast".

For Owen, once reliant on speed and having been afflicted by long-term injuries, it is probably only inevitable that, at 31, there was so much surprise when United offered him another contract at the end of last season. The curiosity of Owen's story, however, is that he would rather stay in the background at Old Trafford than play regularly at another club, and has been quite happy to advertise it, saying: "I prefer playing less often in a top team than every game in a poor team. I've been there and didn't enjoy it."

By that he means Newcastle's relegation and at least he is being honest, even if it does jar with those who believe a footballer should get his job satisfaction from being under the floodlights.

The Daily Post – admittedly a newspaper with Merseyside leanings – has described him as "a fare dodger riding on Manchester United's open-top bus parade". But the scepticism has also been evident in Manchester at times. Owen, once of Anfield, has a strange relationship with United's supporters. Among the messages sent to his Twitter account after the 3-0 defeat of Leeds, one read: "Good 1-0 win tonight. Your goals don't count."

Owen has had to grow wearily accustomed to the "bench-warmer" Twitter jibes, as anyone who has seen his tennis-like exchanges with Piers Morgan can testify. It does raise the question, though, of what happens after Manchester United and whether he has the appetite to start again if the club decide not to renew next summer.

This, quite conceivably, could be Owen's last season, given that he has said: "I won't drop down the leagues and whether I would even want to drop down to a poorer Premier League team … I don't know. Yes, I could score goals, but I would probably get less opportunities and less enjoyment. I'd rather play less and train with top players, rather than playing every minute of every game, getting three or four touches and not enjoying it."

He does, after all, have another sport to consider. Owen's stables now have more than 100 horses and offer a new life beyond football. This is where Owen gets most of his happiness these days, crying tears of elation and hoarse with emotion when Brown Panther won the King George V Stakes at Ascot in June. The celebrations were nothing like as raucous in a Carling Cup third-round tie. Owen, though, is entitled to think he has demonstrated his case for more minutes on the pitch.

Except we have been here before. Last season, in the same stage of the competition, he scored twice in a 5-2 victory at Scunthorpe. In the next game, at Bolton Wanderers, he was on the bench and scored three minutes after coming on. Then United played Valencia in the Champions League. Owen was not even in the squad

Ferguson tells Capello: Owen can still do a job for England
By Sportsmail Reporter

Sir Alex Ferguson insists Michael Owen can still do a job for England at the age of 31.

Owen, the fourth-highest England scorer of all-time, won the last of his 89 caps in 2008 but his Manchester United boss said: 'If you need a goal out of nothing, there is no one better in the game. He's got the gift, no doubt.'

Artikel yang cukup panjang tapi menarik untuk dibaca ... :)

Big interview
Michael Owen: 'It would be too much of a waste for me to retire early'

The striker has been criticised for coasting at Manchester United but remains as ambitious as ever

http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Football/Pix/pictures/2011/9/23/1316780013865/Michael-Owen-007.jpg

For such a private man Michael Owen has fought a lot of public battles recently, abandoning his natural reserve to confront widespread condescension. By fighting back, and arguing his case with words and goals, Owen has developed a new purpose, and placed a fresh shine on a career that he insists is no slow obituary.

"I was born to score goals, I feel. How I score them – how I get the ball into the back of the net – might have changed. The actual ability of what I was born to do will never leave me," he says. "I used to be able to create a lot for other people, move defences all over the park, make great diagonal runs into channels, turn and beat players. I can't do that as much as I used to be able to. But what I've done is refine my game to be more clever, get into different positions, be more instinctive around the box."

The less he plays for Manchester United, the more startling Owen's contributions when his name is called and he reminds us who he really is. Two goals – the second, a pearl – at Leeds on Tuesday night started the first of two debates about lost England stars. Twenty-four hours after he had scored for the 11th time in only 12 starts for United since October 2009, another Owen – Hargreaves – returned from the wilderness with a redemptive hit for Manchester City.

If both were fit, Hargreaves would be the more likely to catch Fabio Capello's eye because Owen has been exiled by the England manager. Stranded on 40 international goals and 89 caps, he says: "I was in every squad for over a decade and all of a sudden it stopped one day. I would never turn my back on it, but obviously there's a scar there that still hurts a bit. But I don't get upset now when I'm not in the squad, like I used to. If I got a call-up I'd be there within five minutes.

"Fabio Capello picked his first squad and I was on the bench. I thought: 'This might be a sign that he doesn't fancy me.' The next time I wasn't in the squad, and that's just been that. I think he came to watch me twice in a year when I was at Newcastle, both times at the Emirates. Arsenal were one of the best teams in the league. We got tonked, and whoever was the striker for Newcastle away at Arsenal wasn't going to get too many touches, so I did feel a bit sorry for myself at that point."

But Owen's immediate priority is to force his way into a Manchester United side overflowing with attacking talent. At Liverpool for a time he grappled with Robbie Fowler and Emile Heskey for a starting shirt and Real Madrid brought new struggles with Ronaldo and Raúl. Now he laughs at the sheer scale of competition at United, where Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernández, Dimitar Berbatov and increasingly Danny Welbeck block his path.

"In many ways that's what harms your chances of a place – the fact that we are so bloody good. The strikers are just fabulous. No matter where you look there are world-class players, and they're a good range of ages, virtually every type of striker. It's one position where we're particularly well off. Even at 31 I'm enjoying learning how different people play and how you can play along side them. That's the positive."

The negative, though, is frustration: battening down the desperate urge to play more regularly. After the Carling Cup tie at Leeds, Owen admits he left the pitch not expecting to start against Stoke on Saturday – in the event he played 80 minutes after Hernández was injured. Owen says: "You've got to enjoy the good days, haven't you? It's nice to remind people you're still on this planet and that you can do it still at this top level."

On Twitter and elsewhere he has quashed the most persistent of the allegations aimed in his direction. The main claim is that he joined United for money when he might by now have signed for a lower-ranked club where he would play every week. This brings out his best debating skills.

He starts out: "I joined Twitter and you read a lot of the comments. You're biting your lip and you want to reply but you know a headline will be made from it and you don't want to give people the satisfaction. It's obvious I've had a good career and earned money. The last thing I thought I'd be accused of by going to Manchester United was doing it for money.

"I could have gone to lots of other clubs and earned more. The attraction from Man Utd's end was that they could get a free transfer and use their name and their ability to win trophies and their kudos to attract players such as me. That's where they've got an advantage, where they wouldn't have to pay bigger wages.

"At other clubs a wealthy investor might have to pay twice as much as everyone else because if they don't they won't get the player. My situation is the opposite. I've been attracted to the club by the players, by the manager, the ability to win things. Money is not the motivation. I've had a great career. I've done really well. My management company [the Wasserman Media Group] concluded the deal with United in hours. That shows you. I wanted to play under the manager and in a fantastic team. I just can't believe how many people think otherwise."

Owen has started 16 times since his free transfer in July 2009 and appeared 33 more times as substitute, scoring on 16 occasions. Defying expectation, Sir Alex Ferguson renewed the striker's contract this year, citing his professionalism and influence on United's younger players. "I can't find him a regular place in the team at the moment but what I've always said about Michael Owen is that if you need a goal out of nothing there is no one better, and I think that is still the case," his manager said. "He's just got a gift for it. His attitude is excellent. He's a good professional and a good presence to have around the dressing room." Ferguson likes to be surrounded by allies and Owen has become an adopted Paul Scholes or Ryan Giggs though he resists this characterisation: "Naturally I'm quite laid-back, more shy than outgoing, so I wouldn't say I'm good at pressing myself on people and taking them to one side and telling them what to do.

"I'm probably like Scholesy and Giggs in many ways, so I'm always there if people have got anything to say or ask. We lost a lot of players of that ilk. We lost Edwin van der Sar and Gary Neville, Scholes. It's only really Giggsy, me and Rio [Ferdinand] from that generation. I think I'm the third oldest there, which is bloody frightening."

He peers down the age scale and sees Hernández, a player in his own image. "He's a great example to kids. If you just watch him, he works hard. Speaking perfect English helps. In terms of playing the game a lot of people compare our styles. I don't think he's like me when I was young, he's a better version of me now. We're both that type of predatory player but he's got legs that are 10 years younger so he can do it faster.

"Chicho does his fair share outside the box but he really comes alive inside it. Even though I scored a lot in there when I was younger, the one thing you associate me with is the goal against Argentina [in the 1998 World Cup]. I could get wide, I could run at people, I could beat players, cross the ball for others. The older I've got the more I've defined my style and played more as a penalty-box player. He's a sharper version of me now."

Change is a favourite theme in his autumn years and it's here that he is at his most insistent: "The way I look at myself, the biggest achievement in my eyes – forget winning trophies or scoring in World Cups – is that I'm still at a top club playing at a really high standard having been almost two different players.

"When you look around, Paul Scholes used to be a centre midfielder and score goals regularly, bombing in, late runs, headers, great finishing. Look at him in the last two years of his career. He was still one of the world's best, but doing a totally different job. When you lose half a yard of pace you have to refine your game."

At Elland Road, Ferguson admitted: "He's not getting the games he deserves and that's unfortunate," and there is no escaping the sheer strangeness of his predicament, which was the talk of the industry this week. He wrestles with it too: "At Liverpool for a while I was one of the first names on the team-sheet, and the same with England after France 98. There was a bit of a change in Madrid – though one of my pet hates is people asking why it didn't go well in Spain.

"People think I never started a game. As it happens I started about 20 games and came on in 18 and scored a lot of goals, had a great time out there. Then I came back to Newcastle as the star signing and was in the team every time again. At Man United it's just that there's a mass of world-class players."

Which was part of the attraction. "No disrespect to other teams but when you're training every single day with top, top players your level doesn't really come down," he says, explaining his ability to locate scoring form after long spells on the margins. "For all that people talk about injuries I've been pretty fit at United. I've had a problem at the end of the first season and couple of little ones in the second, but I haven't had problems that have kept me out for months and months. I'm normally always there and on my toes and training with the lads.

"You've got Rooney and Berbatov and Welbeck's fit now as well. I'm looking really at the next Carling Cup and Champions League games. So it's definitely a different mental state, but it doesn't change wanting to play all the time, having that hunger to play all the time. That will never change.

"The difficult bit is explaining to people who say: 'You're just happy to play out your career there,' – that I'm not. I want to play on, I don't want to drop down leagues but I want to play on for a few more years. It'd be too much of a waste for me to retire early. My absolute ideal is to play where I'm playing, because it doesn't get any better. But I'm not stupid, I know one of the best players in the world plays up front, with world-class players in behind. I've got great respect for the manager and I know he respects me as well. I'd love to stay at the club for a few years to come and play a big part."

With England and United, you might call him some days an exile on Main Street, but in word and deed he is still fighting his way back in.

Ferguson tells Capello: Owen can still do a job for England

Sir Alex Ferguson insists Michael Owen can still do a job for England at the age of 31.

Owen, the fourth-highest England scorer of all-time, won the last of his 89 caps in 2008 but his Manchester United boss said: 'If you need a goal out of nothing, there is no one better in the game. He's got the gift, no doubt.'

Owen won't turn back on England
ESPNsoccernet - September 25, 2011

http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2011/0921/michaelowenmanchesterunited20110921_275x155.jpg


Michael Owen has admitted it is highly unlikely he will ever play for England again - but says he will never make himself unavailable for selection.

With 40 goals in 89 gaps, Owen was one of the deadliest strikers of his generation and is fourth on England's all-time scoring chart.

But Owen has never seriously featured in coach Fabio Capello's plans, only ever featuring as a sub once in an international friendly against France in March 2008.

Owen's decision to join Manchester United and become a bit-part player further hampered his chances of forcing his way into the international set-up.

Owen told the Observer: "I was in every squad for over a decade and all of a sudden it stopped one day.

"I would never turn my back on it, but obviously there's a scar there that still hurts a bit. But I don't get upset now when I'm not in the squad, like I used to. If I got a call-up I'd be there within five minutes.

"Fabio Capello picked his first squad and I was on the bench. I thought: 'This might be a sign that he doesn't fancy me.' The next time I wasn't in the squad, and that's just been that.''

Owen, 31, was also quick to defend his ability to perform at the highest level after a career blighted by injuries.

"I was born to score goals," he said. "How I score them - how I get the ball into the back of the net - might have changed. The actual ability of what I was born to do will never leave me.

"I used to be able to create a lot for other people, move defences all over the park, make great diagonal runs into channels, turn and beat players. I can't do that as much as I used to be able to. But what I've done is refine my game to be more clever, get into different positions, be more instinctive around the box."

Owen has previously explained that he chose to join Manchester United to be with the best and to win medals, insisting that he would not have been happy playing for a mid-table club after leaving Newcastle United.

"In many ways that's what harms your chances of a place - the fact that we are so bloody good," Owen said of the United squad. "The strikers are just fabulous. No matter where you look there are world-class players, and they're a good range of ages, virtually every type of striker.

"It's one position where we're particularly well off. Even at 31 I'm enjoying learning how different people play and how you can play along side them. That's the positive.

"I could have gone to lots of other clubs and earned more. The attraction from Man Utd's end was that they could get a free transfer and use their name and their ability to win trophies and their kudos to attract players such as me. That's where they've got an advantage, where they wouldn't have to pay bigger wages.

"At other clubs a wealthy investor might have to pay twice as much as everyone else because if they don't they won't get the player. My situation is the opposite. I've been attracted to the club by the players, by the manager, the ability to win things. Money is not the motivation. I've had a great career. I've done really well.

"I wanted to play under the manager and in a fantastic team. I just can't believe how many people think otherwise."

[Sir Alsep Ferguson]

Owen: I'd jump at the chance to play for England again, if Capello will have me back

Manchester United striker Michael Owen has accepted he is not part of Fabio Capello's England plans but insists he will never turn his back on his country.

The former Liverpool forward quickly fell out of favour when Capello took over as national team boss in 2008, with injuries also undermining his chances of a recall.

But 31-year-old Owen - who has 89 caps and 40 goals - still shows his class when opportunities arise and scored in United's midweek Carling Cup win at Leeds.

And he admits he would seize his chance should Capello change his mind.

Owen told the Observer: 'I was in every squad for over a decade and all of a sudden it stopped one day.

'I would never turn my back on it, but obviously there's a scar there that still hurts a bit. But I don't get upset now when I'm not in the squad, like I used to.

'If I got a call-up I'd be there within five minutes.

'Fabio Capello picked his first squad and I was on the bench. I thought: "This might be a sign that he doesn't fancy me." The next time I wasn't in the squad, and that's just been that.'

Owen Tak Mau Kembali Lagi ke Timnas Inggris


Bola.net - Michael Owen menegaskan bahwa ia tidak akan pernah kembali ke tim nasional Inggris, sekalipun dipanggil kembali. Sebab, ia masih sakit hati dengan perlakuan Fabio Capello padanya.
Dengan torehan 40 gol dari 89 caps bersama The Three Lions, Owen merupakan salah satu striker mematikan yang dimiliki Inggris. Dengan golnya tersebut, ia mencatatkan namanya dalam urutan keempat top skor tim nasional Inggris sepanjang masa.

Akan tetapi, semenjak Capello dikontrak FA, Owen tak pernah sama sekali tampil sebagai pilihan utama. Di bawah pelatih asal Italia itu, striker yang kini sudah berusia 31 tahun itu hanya tampil sekali saja, itu pun sebagai pemain pengganti pertandingan persahabatan antara Inggris melawan Prancis 2008 lalu.

"Saya berada di skuad itu selama lebih dari satu dekade dan semuanya tiba-tiba terhenti di satu hari," kenang Owen pada Observer.

"Fabio Capello memilih tim utamanya dan saya ditinggal di bangku cadangan. Saya berpikir, 'Mungkin ia tak tertarik dengan saya.' Kemudian saya sempat masuk skuad, tapi hanya sekali itu saja."

Kini bersama Manchester United, penampilan apiknya mulai dianggap bisa untuk kembali ke tim nasional Inggris. Namun, mantan striker Liverpool dan Newcastle ini menegaskan kalau ia tidak akan pernah kembali ke sana lagi. Ia menegaskan, "Saya tidak akan pernah kembali ke sana, memang jelas ada luka yang masih membekas dan sedikit menyakitkan. Tapi saya sudah tidak akan marah lagi kini."

"Toh kalau pun saya dipanggil lagi, saya pasti hanya lima menit saja di sana," tambahnya.

Owen: Uang Bukan Alasan Saya ke United

http://klimg.com/bola.net/library/p/headline/0000055632.jpg

Bola.net - Michael Owen menjelaskan jika ia memilih hengkang ke Manchester United adalah untuk bergabung dengan tim terbaik dan memenangkan medali juara, bukannya karena motivasi uang seperti yang banyak dituduhkan padanya.

Penyerang berusia 31 tahun itu meninggalkan Newcastle United di tahun 2009 dan ia sempat membuat geram para pendukung The Magpies saat ia mengklaim bahwa ia tak bahagia bermain di klub medioker.

"Dalam banyak hal, inilah yang mengancam peluang Anda masuk tim inti - fakta bahwa kami amat bagus," katanya tentang skuad Setan Merah.

"Penyerang-penyerang kami sungguh luar biasa. Tak peduli kemana Anda memandang, ada pemain kelas dunia, dan juga ada rentang usia yang bagus di sini, pada hakekatnya setiap macam striker ada di sini."

"Bahkan di usia 31 tahun saya masih menikmati belajar bagaimana orang lain bermain dan bagaimana Anda bisa bermain bersama mereka. Itu hal yang positif."

"Saya bisa saja pergi ke klub lain dan mendapatkan uang lebih banyak. Daya tarik di sisi United adalah mereka bisa mendapatkan transfer gratis, serta menggunakan nama dan kemampuan mereka untuk memenangi trofi demi menarik pemain seperti saya," imbuhnya.

"Di situlah mereka punya keunggulan, di mana mereka tak perlu membayar gaji lebih besar. Di klub lain, investor kaya bisa saja harus membayar dua kali lipatnya karena jika tidak mereka tak akan mendapatkan sang pemain."

"Situasi saya sebaliknya. Saya tertarik pada klub karena pemainnya, karena manajernya, kemampuan mereka memenangkan sesuatu. Uang bukan motivasi saya. Saya memiliki karir yang bagus, saya sudah tampil cukup baik," kilah mantan bomber Liverpool itu.

"Saya ingin bermain di bawah manajer dan tim yang fantastis. Saya hanya tak bisa percaya berapa banyak orang yang berpikir sebaliknya." (espn/row)

Michael Owen defends footballers over huge wages

Manchester United striker sticks up for his fellow professionals over their salaries via Twitter. Michael Owen has defended the amount of money that footballers earn, claiming that they are deserving of their “share” for the part they play in a lucrative industry.

The Manchester United striker was brought on to the subject during a question and answer session with his followers on Twitter and insisted he was simply sticking up for his fellow professionals as he feels they can be “easy targets”.

“Not denying footballers get paid a lot of money,” he wrote on Monday night. “They do however earn their employers huge amounts. If that’s the case then surely they deserve their share?

“Nobody seems to mention singers, actors, golfers, F1 drivers etc that earn far more than footballers yet we take all the abuse.

“Footballers are entertainers, they draw in huge crowds just like those mentioned. Very unfair to then compare our wages to nurses etc.

“Of course they are superstars and I think everyone agrees they should earn more but how can you blame footballers for that?

“Most players give generously to loads of different charities etc. There are plenty of decent people that play football. Far too easy to just generalise.

“I may be wrong but I do think footballers can be easy targets so just wanted to stick up for the majority of good guys that play the game. Over and out my friends!”

Wah sepertinya perseteruan via twitter nih ...

'Benchwarmer' Michael Owen in Twitter spat with Arsenal fan Morgan

Broadcaster Piers Morgan and Manchester United striker Michael Owen have both been criticised for indulging in a cringeworthy, tit-for-tat Twitter spat.

http://img.metro.co.uk/i/pix/2011/10/08/article-1318084891280-0E49F17400000578-867191_466x245.jpg

In a slanging match chastised by fellow members of the Twitterati as 'embarrassing', Morgan called Owen a 'benchwarmer' and the footballer responded with jibes about the Arsenal fan and CNN presenter's weight.

Bemoaning the lack of Premier League football this weekend owing to Friday night's Euro 2012 qualifiers, Owen posted on Twitter: 'No Prem football is the killer. Looks like Racing and Darts for me.'

Chat show host and Gooner Morgan quickly replied: 'Usual Saturday for you then. Benchwarmer.'

Owen, who has started just 16 games for United since his free transfer in July 2009, took the quip in good humour and questioned what form of exercise Morgan liked to partake in.

After berating Owen for his spelling and grammar, the TV presenter told him: 'I eat too much, drink too much...yet still get picked for my employer's first team every night, Benchwarmer. #CNN'

The Manchester United star hit back: 'Assuming that is the case, did you get your #moobs, 4 chins and belly from drinking too much, eating too much or both?'

'I go the gym 4 times a week, Benchwarmer,' replied Morgan, before adding one of the most ridiculous and hilarious statements that is ever likely to pass his lips: 'My pecs are bigger than your entire body.'

Michael Owen clearly didn't let the spat linger too long in his memory, later tweeting: 'My Mother in Law just offered to look after the kids for the afternoon so I'm off down the pub with the lads.'

However, Morgan wouldn't let the matter lie and posted a message suggesting a £1,000 bet - saying he'd last longer in his job than Owen would in his.

The England international is now reportedly considering retirement as a result. Or maybe not.

Owen: The art of finishing

http://www.manutd.com/~/media/1A64F31E91DD423D943F218832A7AD4A.ashx?h=179&la=ar-SA&w=240&rgn=11,0,594,434

A deadly presence in the area, Michael Owen tells Inside United what’s required to be a top-class striker and reveals how he sharpened his predatory talent.

"A lot of great strikers seem to have instincts built into their make-up. There’s definitely an intuitive element that goes with being a striker – or at least being a certain type of striker. I’d say that I was an instinctive striker, as is somebody like Chicharito. But I wouldn’t have said Wayne Rooney or Dimitar Berbatov are as reliant on instinct as we are. It comes down to making the right runs and being in the right position at the right time. You always have to be ready; you have to be on your toes anticipating where the ball will be. As I said, some people seem to have a knack for that sort of play from an early age and, of course, years of playing as a striker helps hone that as well.

"When I was young, I obviously had a lot of pace, but that wouldn’t have got me anywhere without my instinctiveness in front of goal. The combination of those two attributes helped me get into Liverpool’s first team, but then I had to learn about other parts of the game – dropping deeper, holding up the ball, bringing others into play... I never got taught that as a kid. There are a lot of things you can learn on the way, but if you’ve got one or two potent weapons at the*beginning it can give you a head start. From there, there’s a lot of hard work involved and you need to have the desire to improve.

"You can’t get anywhere with just one God-given talent. You can have one attribute that will give you an edge over others in a certain department – you might be very tall, very strong or very fast – but that’s not enough these days. You have to be able to transfer those natural talents into football situations. You have to work very hard.

"To be honest, I wouldn’t say I was a kid who used to analyse my own game and identify the areas I wasn’t so good at and then spend hours improving them by practising on my own. I just loved playing football and played as often as possible – I’d go to the park and shoot into the goals, but I wasn’t really making a conscious effort to improve any particular parts of my game which I felt needed work.

"I think the deeper understanding of the game came, in my case, just through experience. The ability to play different types of passes, to score different sorts of goals – it all came from testing stuff out on the pitch. I’d find myself one-on-one with the goalkeeper and try a certain type of finish. If it worked, I’d try it again the next time. If it didn’t, I’d try something else. So you teach yourself how to react to different situations, based on the situations you’ve been in previously. It’s a gradual process and you need a lot of luck too.

"Timing a run to get in behind a defender is all about trial and error. It’s a very difficult art to teach anybody. Coaches might tell you when to make your run and at what angle you should make it – diagonal runs are usually favoured because your momentum carries you towards the goal and you’re likely to stay onside a little longer – but every situation is different. You have to try things for yourself and work out what’s effective and what isn’t. The runs you make inside the penalty area – be they towards the near post or peeling off to the back post – are largely instinctive, although you can obviously learn from watching other players and watching the masters at work.

"You’ll see some strikers who linger behind a defender for nine-tenths of a second and then, just as the ball’s about to be crossed, they’ll make a quick movement and nip in front. I think it’s important to watch other strikers and combine that with your own experiments on the pitch. You can certainly develop that side of your game.

"It’s never been easy to make it as a professional footballer and it’s not getting any easier. These days football is very athletic as well as skilful – you need the right sort of body to cope with the rigours of the game. You also need to be quick, or you’ll be left behind. You need to be confident and calm on the ball, and have a good reading of the game. You need an awful lot to succeed. But don’t let that put you off!"

Owen Bicara Soal Insting & Kemiripan dengan Chicharito
Rossi Finza Noor - detiksport

Manchester - Michael Owen bicara panjang lebar soal penyelesaian di depan gawang, bagaimana dia biasa mencetak gol, dan kemiripan dirinya dengan pemain seperti Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez.

Dalam wawancaranya dengan situs resmi klub, penyerang bernomor punggung 7 itu membeberkan beberapa pengalamannya soal membuat penyelesaian akhir di depan gawang. "Saya suka berhadapan satu lawan satu dengan kiper dan mencoba beberapa cara. Jika berhasil, saya akan mencobanya lagi di lain kesempatan," demikian ucapnya.

Di masa mudanya, Owen memang terkenal dengan kecepatan. Ia terbiasa berlari ke ruang kosong untuk menerima umpan-umpan terobosan dari para gelandang. Kalau berhasil, maka dia hanya tinggal berhadapan satu lawan satu dengan kiper.

Kendati kerap dibekap cedera, Owen tak berhenti untuk melatih cara melakukan penyelesaian akhir di depan gawang. Dengan usia yang sudah kepala tiga, ia tak lagi mengandalkan kecepatan, melainkan insting.

"Ketika saya muda, saya jelas punya kecepatan. Tapi, itu jelas tak akan membawa saya ke mana-mana tanpa insting di depan gawang," tukasnya. "Kombinasi dari keduanyalah yang membuat saya masuk tim utama Liverpool," lanjutnya.

Kini, ia merasa punya kemiripan dengan Chicharito. Penyerang asal Meksiko itu memang seperti dirinya di kala muda; cepat, lincah, dan punya insting bagus di depan gawang. Owen pun tak ragu menyebut, mereka berdua adalah tipe yang berbeda dari Wayne Rooney ataupun Dimitar Berbatov.

"Banyak penyerang hebat menjadikan insting sebagai bagian dari senjata mereka. Itu jelas adalah sebuah elemen intuisi yang datang seketika Anda menjadi seorang penyerang--atau menjadi tipe khusus seperti itu."

"Saya berani bilang bahwa saya adalah tipe penyerang dengan insting, sama seperti Chicharito," tukasnya.

OWEN: ALDERSHOT IS IMPORTANT GAME

http://images.sportinglife.com/11/09/330/Michael-Owen-Manchester-United-Carling-Cup_2655565.jpg

Michael Owen insists Manchester United will not be taking the clash against League Two Aldershot lightly as he sets his sights on another successful Carling Cup campaign with the Red Devils.

United go into the fourth round match at the EBB Stadium looking for an immediate response to Sunday's derby mauling at the hands of Manchester City, and Owen is expected to be one of the players Sir Alex Ferguson drafts into his starting line-up for the game.

Owen has enjoyed plenty of recent and past success in the competition, helping United win a third Carling Cup in five years in 2010 with the equalising goal in a 2-1 final victory over Aston Villa, while in the previous round this season he netted twice in a 3-0 win against Leeds.

The 31-year-old also won the League Cup twice with Liverpool - including scoring against United in the 2003 final - and he is now targeting more glory this season, telling MUTV: "It's a competition we want to do well in.

"We've done quite well in the Carling Cup over the years and we want to progress and win a trophy. That's the end game."

While United suffered a 6-1 humiliation at the hands of City at Old Trafford on Sunday, Aldershot go into tonight's match in buoyant mood following a 5-2 away, League Two win over Dagenham & Redbridge.

That result ended a five-match losing streak for Dean Holdsworth's men and was a timely boost ahead of the visit of Barclays Premier League champions United.

Owen knows Aldershot will be champing at the bit to claim a prized scalp tonight, but has warned their opponents that United will also be up for the game.

"It's obviously going to be a massive game for Aldershot with Manchester United coming into town," he said.

"I'm sure it'll be a full house and we're treating it as an important game as well."

Owen also expects United, whose defeat to City was their first loss since last season's Champions League final against Barcelona, to put out a strong team.

In the previous round against Leeds, Ferguson selected the likes of Owen, Dimitar Berbatov, Ryan Giggs, Michael Carrick, Antonio Valencia and Park Ji-sung.

Owen said: "There's players who weren't involved against City, me being one of them, and a lot of the lads need games so it'll be quite a strong Manchester United playing against them."

Owen: Reputasi United Tetap Terjaga

http://klimg.com/bola.net/library/p/headline/0000058078.jpg

Bola.net - Michael Owen meyakini jika reputasi Manchester United tetap terjaga berkat kemenangan atas Aldershot di pentas Piala Carling, sekaligus meredakan semua keriuhan usai dihajar dalam partai derby akhir pekan lalu.

Setan Merah menghindari keterpurukan lebih dalam usai disikat Manchester City 6-1 di Old Trafford dengan mengamankan satu tempat di perempat final usai menang telak 3-0 di kandang tim League Two tersebut.

Manajer United, Sir Alex Ferguson mengubah seluruh starting XI dari tim yang dipermalukan sang rival akhir pekan kemarin, dengan hanya menyisakan Phil Jones sebagai satu-satunya pemain yang turut merasakan luka tersebut.

Namun gol dari Dimitar Berbatov, Owen dan Antonio Valencia menghentikan asa Aldershot untuk menabur garam di luka United pada laga yang dihelat di EBB Stadium itu.

"Kami sedikit di bawah tekanan dengan hasil di akhir pekan kemarin," aku Owen yang mencetak gol ketiganya di pentas Piala Carling musim ini.

"Meski tak seorang pun di sini menjadi starter di akhir pekan, Anda masih memiliki reputasi Manchester United untuk dijaga. Jadi tim manapun yang dipasang, kami ingin bangkit dan syukurlah kami bisa meraih kemenangan ini."

"Sebagaimana bisa anda bayangkan, tertawaan dan gurauan sudah sedikit mereda sejak akhir pekan itu," tambahnya.

"Terkadang Anda perlu tamparan keras untuk maju dan itu merupakan tamparan dahsyat, sebagaimana kita ketahui bersama, dan kami bernafsu untuk bangkit." (espn/row)

I remember this goal :D Thenkyu brader Andi... :D
banyak yang bilang ini balas dendam gol nya maradona ke gawang inggris.. Well ga sgitunya juga sih.. :p tapi emang gol ini ngasi liat kapasitas speed nya Owen.. Klo soal one on one with the keeper emang bisa dipercaya deh...

Salah satu mimpi gw dulu, pengen liat Owen berseragam United.. n kejadian deh sekarang.. Sayang persaingan d depan emang lagi ketat banget :D

Siapa disini yang dukung Inggris!!?? (Kesepian nih, rata2 disini pada benci Inggris.. T_T)

[Andi Istiabudi]

Yup, salah satu gol terbaik sepanjang sejarah piala dunia juga tuh.
Sayang memang saat ini Owen kalah bersaing dengan striker United lainnya untuk tim utama, tapi Owen juga sudah berkontribusi cukup baik dengan membantu United meraih 3 gelar dalam 2 musim. Lumayanlah :D

Btw, saya tidak benci Inggris lho tapi saya bukan pendukung utama. Timnas Inggris favorit saya adalah skuad Piala Dunia 1998, karena kombinasi yang pas antara senior dan pemain muda.

Cedera (Lagi), Owen Absen Panjang

http://klimg.com/bola.net/library/p/headline/0000058841.jpg

Bola.net - Michael Owen kembali menghadapi ancaman absen panjang dari lapangan hijau, setelah ia mengalami cedera paha saat Manchester United menang 2-0 atas Otelul Galati di Liga Champions.

Penyerang berusia 31 tahun itu tak biasanya dipasang oleh Sir Alex Ferguson sebagai starter dalam laga yang dihelat di Old Trafford itu, namun ia harus tersungkur saat laga baru berjalan 10 menit.

Ferguson pun mengungkapkan simpatinya untuk mantan penyerang timnas Inggris itu, dengan mengatakan, "Itu pukulan berat untuknya. Ia mengalami cedera otot paha dan itu benar-benar aneh. Saya ikut merasakan kesedihannya. Sungguh sulit mengatakan akan berapa lama pemulihannya."

Sementara Owen sendiri mengungkapkan rasa frustrasi yang ia alami lewat akun Twitter pribadinya.

"Gusar dengan cedera saya. Saya merasakan rasa sakit di otot quad kiri saya saat mencoba menjangkau bola dan mencetak gol, sebelum terjadinya gol Antonio Valencia."

"Sungguh menanti saat bermain lagi. Hanya berharap ini tak terlalu serius dan saya bisa segera kembali beraksi. Saya takkan terpuruk, anak-anak sudah mendapatkan kemenangan penting untuk menempatkan kami di puncak grup."

Tambahan tiga poin memang membawa Setan Merah ke posisi teratas Grup C, meski poin mereka sama dengan Benfica yang akan mereka jamu akhir bulan ini di Old Trafford. (espn/row)

Mungkin Owen berpikir lebih baik jadi cadangan di United ketimbang bermain reguler di tim lain tapi tidak pernah merasakan gelar EPL seperti Steven Gerrard :D

Owen has no retirement plans
Striker hopes to follow the example set by Giggs

Michael Owen insists he still has no plans to retire and he hopes to follow the example set by Manchester United team-mate Ryan Giggs.

Owen, who turns 32 in mid-December, is currently recovering from the thigh problem which forced him to limp off in just the 11th minute of the UEFA Champions League win over Otelul Galati at Old Trafford.

Another fitness problem in what has been an injury-plagued career has led some to suggest the end of the former Liverpool, Real Madrid and Newcastle striker's career may coincide with the conclusion of his current United contract at the end of this season.

But Owen has no plans to quit and would like to match 37-year-old Giggs in continuing his playing days for as long as possible.

"I'm 31, so I'd still like to think I've got a few years left in me when you look at players like Giggsy," Owen said in an interview broadcast on Sky Sports News.

"And while they are playing in their mid to late-Thirties, that is great for us all, really.

"But I'd like to think I've got a few years left in me and I still love the game. How can't you love it when you are playing for such a top club like Manchester United?"

Owen Belum Berniat Pensiun

Manchester - Michael Owen menyatakan bahwa ia belum berpikir untuk gantung sepatu. Ia masih ingin bermain lebih lama untuk Manchester United.

Owen akan genap berusia 32 tahun di bulan Desember nanti. Saat ini ia sedang dalam masa pemulihan setelah mengalami cedera saat MU berhadapan dengan Otelul Galati pada ajang Liga Champions di Old Trafford awal November lalu.

Usia yang tak lagi muda dan kerentanannya terhadap cedera tak membuat mantan pemain Liverpool dan Real Madrid ini berpikir untuk gantung sepatu. Dia ingin bermain beberapa tahun lagi, seperti yang dilakukan oleh Ryan Giggs yang masih bermain hingga usianya menginjak angka 37.

"Aku 31 tahun, jadi aku masih berpikir aku masih punya beberapa tahun jika Anda melihat pemain seperti Giggs," ujar Owen pada Sky Sports News.

"Dan ketika mereka bermain di usia pertengahan hingga akhir tigapuluhan, itu bagus untuk kami semua."

Kontrak Owen bersama 'Setan Merah' akan berakhir pada 30 Juni 2012. Meski demikian, ia mengisyaratkan belum ingin meninggalkan sepakbola karena ia masih mencintai MU yang menjadi klubnya saat ini.

"Tapi aku berpikir masih ada beberapa tahun lagi untukku dan aku masih mencintai permainan ini. Bagaimana Anda tidak mencintainya ketika Anda bermain untuk klub besar seperti Manchester United?" tukasnya.

Empty statements hide Owen's lack of ambition
By Jason Dasey

Sentiment is often known to cloud good judgment. As England tune up for next year's European Championship with a couple of Wembley friendlies, Sir Alex Ferguson is amongst the respected voices calling for the unlikely return of Michael Owen to the national set-up.

It seems far-fetched to suggest that the soon to be 32-year-old striker will be welcomed back with open arms ahead of Euro 2012.

Owen hasn't represented his nation since 2008 and is a bit-part player at Manchester United where he is recovering from a thigh injury. Yet Ferguson believes that there is no-one better than the ex-Liverpool forward when it comes to producing a goal out of nothing by appearing in the box from nowhere.

If he's that good, why is he fifth choice at Old Trafford? If there's no one better, why has Owen made only one league start in the past two seasons?

With a shared passion for horseracing, Ferguson clearly enjoys having Owen around. But to suggest that he be capped by England again is ludicrous, even if Wayne Rooney will be missing for the start of the Euros.

The stats don't lie. Since joining Manchester United in 2009, Owen has scored five times in 31 league appearances with 17 goals in 52 in all competitions, inflated by seven in seven games in the Carling Cup against the likes of Aldershot Town and Leeds United.

This week, Owen spoke about his ambition of matching his teammate Ryan Giggs by playing into his late 30's. In recent weeks, he's hinted at harbouring hopes of adding to his 89 England caps.

Owen, of course, has the right to make any choice he wants about his own career. But it is sad for many of his fans and former teammates to see such an iconic player become a peripheral figure.

"It used to be that you'd go anywhere to play regular first-team football in the latter part of your career - for pride's sake, if nothing else," said a retired England international who crossed paths with Owen in the 1990s.

"But the way the game has gone with the amount of money coming in, more modern day players are happy to simply sit on the bench or in the stands and pick up a pay cheque."

Owen is on a reported STG50,000 (RM216,000) a week.

If only his friends and peers used this international break as a professional 'intervention' for Michael James Owen. Instead of listening to him paying lip service to wanting to pull on the England shirt again, why not simply have the courage to put his body on the line at a smaller club where he'll play every week?

Owen out for six weeks
14/11/2011 18:00, Report by Nick Coppack

http://www.manutd.com/~/media/B1CBC96E188E49B7B064C9097C7C9122.ashx?h=179&la=ar-SA&w=480&rgn=12,63,550,263

Michael Owen is expected to be sidelined until at least Christmas with the thigh injury he sustained in United’s recent 2-0 home win against Otelul Galati.

The Reds no.7 lasted just 10 minutes against the Romanians after straining his left thigh in the build-up to United’s opening goal when Owen darted towards the near post and stretched for Phil Jones’ cross. While he failed to make contact with the ball, Owen’s movement dragged defenders out of position and, as Sir Alex Ferguson said afterwards, “made the goal” for Antonio Valencia, who arrived behind the striker to tap into the empty net.

The boss was initially hopeful Owen’s knock would not prove serious, but a club spokesman told ManUtd.com on Monday: “Michael has a thigh muscle injury and will be out for six weeks or so.”

That prognosis means the striker isn’t likely to feature for the Reds until Boxing Day at the earliest, when United welcome Wigan Athletic to Old Trafford. Sir Alex’s men are also scheduled to host Blackburn Rovers on New Year’s Eve, with United’s first game of 2012 due to take place at Newcastle on Wednesday 4 January.

United Kehilangan Owen Selama Enam Pekan


Manchester United harus rela kehilangan striker Inggris, Michael Owen untuk setidaknya selama enam pekan akibat cedera paha. Kabar buruk ini langsung dikonfirmasi oleh juara bertahan Liga Inggris tersebut.

Pemain berusia 31 tahun ini sebenarnya sudah mengalami masalah ini sejak memperkuat United melawan Otelul Galati di ajang Liga Champions ada 2 November lalu. Cedera ini awalnya diperkirakan tidak serius.

Namun konfirmasi terbaru United justru menyatakan sebaliknya, "Michael (Owen) telah mengalami cedera otot paha dan akan absen selama enam minggu atau lebih," jelas perntaan situs resmi Manchester United.

Sebagai akibatnya, Owen tidak mungkin bisa turun ke lapangan untuk memperkuat tim asuhan manajer Sir Alex Ferguson hingga pada laga Boxing Day (akhir tahun) yang mempertemukan Setan Merah melawan Wigan.

Menurut perhitungan, United akan kehilangan Owen selama sembilan laga ke depan dan Owen sendiri kehilangan kesempatan untuk berlaga di laga nostalgia yang mempertemukan United dengan Newcastle pada 26 November.

Owen, yang bergabung dengan United pada tahun 2009, telah mencetak gol 17 dalam 52 penampilan klub.

Owen Yakin City Bakal Tergelincir

Bola.net - Striker Manchester United Michael Owen yakin Manchester City akan tersandung dalam perebutan gelar juara Premier League musim ini.

Owen yang pekan ini divonis absen selama enam minggu karena kembali mengalami cedera, mengatakan bahwa United tak perlu panik menghadapi persaingan dengan City di jalur juara.

United sendiri saat ini masih tertinggal lima angka dari rival sekota mereka tersebut sejak kalah 6-1 di Old Trafford.

"Mereka (City) masih memimpin klasemen, tampil hebat dan memainkan performa terbaik seperti beberapa tahun terakhir," papar Owen seperti dilansir Mirror Football.

"Mereka juga telah mengalahkan kami di liga dan mereka pantas memenangkan pertandingan itu. Tapi belum lama lalu di Community Shield kami bermain sangat baik dan mengalahkan mereka,"

"Ketika itu setiap orang mengatakan, terlalu dini untuk City, tapi segalanya sudah berubah. Mereka kini menjadi tim yang tangguh, tapi ini masih dalam periode awal kompetisi,"

"Kita lihat apa yang akan terjadi setelah Natal dan setelah itu kita akan bisa menilai bagaimana kekuatan City,"

"Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir Manchester United selalu berlari kencang di akhir musim dan kami sudah membuktikannya beberapa kali," tegas Owen. (mir/zul)

Owen ttg masa depannya di United...

"Saya pikir saya tak akan seperti Gigsy yang masih aktif bermain menjelang usia 40 tahun. Tapi yang pasti saya akan bisa bermain dua, tiga atau empat tahun lagi, tergantung pada perkembangan situasi,"

"Saya ingin bertahan lebih lama karena saya mencintai klub ini. Kedengarannya mungkin tidak realistis karena selalu akan ada pemain muda atau pemain baru yang datang, tapi saya merasa masih punya peluang, sedikit peluang."

"Sejak datang ke United saya sadar kesempatan bermain akan terbatas karena persaingan sangat ketat. Tapi itu tak jadi masalah, justru standar permainan saya tetap terjaga karena selalu berlatih dengan pemain-pemain terbaik, fasilitas terbaik dan pelatih yang luar biasa."

Owen: I can still break England record

Manchester United striker Michael Owen has not given up hope of playing for his country again and insists it is still possible for him to break England's goalscoring record.

Owen, 32, has struggled for regular football at Old Trafford, featuring in only 79 minutes of Premier League action this term.

A combination of injuries and Sir Alex Ferguson favouring other forwards has seen Owen fall down the pecking order and reduced him to a bit-part role with the champions.

And yet, despite his lack of first-team opportunities, Owen still harbours dreams of pulling on an England shirt and firmly believes he can improve on his total of 40 goals, and even better Sir Bobby Charlton's haul of 49.

"I am proud of what I did for England and what I have done," he told the Daily Mirror. "Obviously Sir Bobby's records are in my sights. I am still here."

Having been a regular for England during his Liverpool and Real Madrid days, Owen - who has scored 40 times in 89 games for his country - soon found himself out of favour when Fabio Capello began his tenure in 2008.

"As soon as Fabio Capello took over, that was it," he said. "I was on the bench for his first game in charge after having been an automatic starter for 10 years, and then after that I wasn't in the squad. The manager is the only man who will know the answer why.

"You have to accept it. If you get upset and angry to start with, if you will keep getting wound up. You have to let it go and that's that. I don't know why, that's something you have to ask the current manager.

"Once you make a decision then maybe you've made the decision. That's it, and even if I kept scoring I don't know what would have happened."

Owen Masih Berhasrat Bela Timnas inggris

http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac311/megaloblast/MO7-1.jpg

Striker Manchester United, Michael Owen, merasa jika dirinya masih memiliki kesempatan untuk mematahkan rekor gol Bobby Charlton bersama Timnas Inggris yang mencapai 49 gol.

Owen memang menjadi pilihan utama manajer Inggris saat masih berseragam Liverpool dan Real Madrid. Namun sejak kepelatihan Capello nama Owen langsung tersingkirkan. Owen sendiri sejauh ini telah mencetak 89 caps dan 49 gol bersama St. George Cross.

"Saya bangga dengan apa telah saya lakukan untuk Inggris. Tentu saja saya masih mengincar rekor (gol) Bobby Charlton," ujar Owen pada Daily Mail.

Namun, mengincar rekor Bobby Charlton bukalah perkara yang mudah bagi Owen mengingat minimnya kepercayaan Capello pada dirinya. Tapi, Owen memilih untuk bersikap positif dengan menerima segala keputusan Capello.

"Segera setelah Capello mengambil alih kepelatihan Timnas Inggris, maka terjadilah. Saya menjadi pemain cadangan pada debut pertama Capello sebagai pelatih setelah 10 tahun saya selalu menjadi starter. Setelah itu, saya bahkan tak pernah dipanggil ke Timnas. Capello satu-satunya orang yang tahu kenapa hal ini terjadi," sambung Owen.

"Anda harus menerimanya. Jika anda merasa kesal dan marah pada awalnya, jika anda kemudian tetap seperti itu, anda akan berakhir. Anda harus mampu menerimanya (tak dipanggil Timnas). Saya tidak tahu mengapa saya tidak lagi menjadi skuad Timnas Inggris, itu adalah sesuatu yang harus anda tanyakan ke manajer (Capello) saat ini."

"Bahkan jika saya terus mencetak gol, saya tidak tahu apa yang akan terjadi."

[Andi Istiabudi]

Fabio Capello memang aneh. Dulu waktu melatih Madrid, Beckham sering banget jadi cadangan. Baru deh mendekati akhir musim, Beckham diberi kepercayaan dan tampil baik hingga akhir musim. Sepertinya Capello tidak senang memakai pemain yang menjadi idola fans seperti Beckham dan Owen serta lebih memilih pemain yang sesuai dengan yang diinginkannya.

Meski masanya sudah lewat saya juga tetap mengagumi Owen kok :D

Owen, Idola Masa Kecil Aguero
Mohammad Resha Pratama - detikSport

http://images.detik.com/content/2012/01/24/72/owen-i.jpg

Manchester - Masa Michael Owen sebagai seorang pesepakbola top memang sudah lewat. Tapi bagi seorang Sergio Aguero, Owen tetaplah idolanya sejak kecil dan masih jadi panutan untuknya hingga sekarang.

Owen semasa Liverpool dikenal sebagai predator ulung di kotak penalti. Akselerasinya serta finishing-nya adalah musuh utama bagi lini pertahanan lawan.

Tak ayal Owen disebut-sebut sebagai salah satu legenda The Reds dengan koleksi 158 gol dari 297 penampilan si seluruh kompetisi. Sudah begitu pun striker 32 tahun itu memberikan satu gelar Piala FA, dua gelar Piala Liga Inggris, satu Piala UEFA dan satu piala Super Eropa.

Di timnas Inggris pun Owen adalah andalan The Three Lions untuk mendulang gol sebelum era Wayne Rooney. Iya punya 40 gol dari 89 caps sejak debut menawannya di tahun 1998 dan gol solo run ke gawang Argentina yang ditahbiskan sebagai gol kedua terbaik sepanjang sejarah Piala Dunia.

Dari semua fakta itu pantas jika rasanya Aguero yang berusia sembilan tahun lebih muda mengidolai eks striker Newcastle United dan Real Madrid itu. Baginya cara bermain Owen ketika muda jadi contoh bagi gaya permainannya Aguero saat ini.

"Saya tidak begitu mengidolai Liverpool, tapi salah satu pemain yang menjadi idola saya ketika saya masih kecil adalah Michael Owen," ujar Aguero seperti dilansir Mirror.

"Dia cukup kecil dan punya naluri tajam mencetak gol, seperti saya. Ketika Liverpool memenangi banyak trofi, saya selalu memperhatikan mereka karena Owen tampil baik," sambungnya.

"Itu semenjak dia mencetak gol bagi Inggris saat melawan Argentina tahun '98, walaupun saya tidak begitu senang saat itu. Saya sedikit mengutuknya karena gol itu. Namun, saya tidak berhenti mengaguminya hanya karena gol tersebut," simpul Aguero.

Kapan nih Michael Owen kembali tampil ? Cukup lama juga pemulihan cideranya ...
Sudah cukup lama nih dia absen. Jumlah penampilannya di liga juga masih minim, bisa-bisa saat United meraih gelar Owen tidak dapat hak untuk mendapatkan medali nih :(

Balap kuda memang salah satu hobi favorit Owen sejak dulu :)

Belum ada kabar atau rumor yach apakah kontrak Owen akan kembali diperpanjang atau tidak ?
Jika memang diperpanjang, jujur itu adalah keajaiban ! :)

[Andi Istiabudi]

Jika boleh memilih pemain United, pasti Owen memasukkan nama Giggs, Rooneyy dan Scholes :D

Pemain Terbaik Liga Premier? Owen Pilih RVP

Bola.net - Penyerang Manchester United, Michael Owen punya pilihan sendiri untuk pemain terbaik Liga Premier musim ini yakni kapten Arsenal, Robin Van Persie.

Pemain asal Belanda itu sudah menunjukkan kehebatannya musim ini dengan mencetak 26 gol di pentas liga dan membantu The Gunners merangsek ke posisi ketiga klasemen, padahal di awal musim Arsenal sempat berkutat di papan bawah.

Dan lewat akun Twitter miliknya, eks penyerang Liverpool itu mengutarakan opininya tentang pemain terbaik, tim terbaik bahkan starting eleven terbaik Liga Premier musim ini.

"Pemain terbaik musim ini? Saya pilih Robin Van Persie. Seorang pemenang yang menonjol dalam opini saya," tulisnya.

"Hasil yang bagus lagi dari Newcastle hari ini. Tim terbaik? Ada beberapa kandidat, tapi merekalah pilihan saya sejauh ini. Newcastle, Swansea, Norwich, Spurs secara urut adalah empat tim teratas pilihan saja sejauh ini."

"Pemain muda terbaik? Pilihan yang sulit. Usianya harus 23 tahun atau kurang. Saya pilih Tim Krul (kiper Newcastle)."

Sementara untuk pilihan starting eleven terbaik, Owen yang berdasar aturan tak bisa memilih pemain United, akhirnya mengajukan nama mantan rekan setimnya di Newcastle, Fabricio Coloccini, Cheikh Tiote dan Demba Ba bersama Joe Hart, Kyle Walker, Vincent Kompany, Leighton Baines, David Silva, Scott Parker, Gareth Bale dan Van Persie.

Harapan saya sih Owen bisa pensiun di United, meski terdengar mustahil ...

Owen Masih Ingin Berkarir Dua Tahun Lagi

Bola.net - Penyerang Manchester United, Michael Owen menegaskan jika ia masih punya waktu setidaknya dua tahun lagi untuk bermain di level atas, meski ia lebih banyak menghabiskan waktu di luar lapangan musim ini.

Owen, 32 tahun sudah dipaksa absen sejak November lalu akibat cedera paha dan hanya tampil sebanyak empat kali untuk Setan Merah sepanjang musim ini.

Meski demikian, mantan penyerang Liverpool dan Newcastle itu masih belum mau menyerah.

"Tubuh saya merasa seolah ingin bermain dan pikiran saya pun menginginkannya, saya pun merasa masih punya waktu dua atau tiga tahun lagi tersisa," tukas Owen sebagaimana dikutip The Sun.

"Beberapa pemain berjuang keras untuk turun dari ranjang dan mengeluhkan tentang lutut atau otot Achilles mereka - saya tak pernah merasakan sakit seperti itu. Mungkin aneh mendengarnya karena orang tahu saya cedera, tapi saya merasa sehat."

"Meski demikian, saya tak merasa akan menjadi salah satu pemain yang masih bermain di usia 37 atau 38," tutupnya. (sun/row)

Owen Kembali ke Anfield Musim Depan?
Wirawan Kusuma | Hery Prasetyo

MANCHESTER, KOMPAS.com - Kabar mengejutkan datang dari striker Manchester United (MU), Michael Owen. Striker berusia 32 tahun ini diberitakan sudah mencapai kesepakatan dengan Liverpool untuk kembali ke Stadion Anfield pada musim panas depan.

Caughtoffside mengklaim sudah mendapatkan kabar soal kesepakatan antara kedua belah pihak ini. Owen sendiri tampaknya juga sudah tak sabar kembali ke Anfield. Ini terindikasi dari status yang ia umbar di akun Twitter-nya, @themichelown.

"Tak sabar untuk memulai, Liverpool saya datang. Segera setelah aku pulih dari cedera ini," demikian yang tertulis Owen di akun Twitter-nya.

Caughtoffside juga melansir pernyataan Owen yang mengindikasikan kepindahannya ke Liverpool. "Aku tak sabar untuk memulai. Aku merasa masih memiliki beberapa tahun lagi dan sudah diberitahu bahwa duduk di bangku cadangan di Anfield adalah salah satu yang terbaik, memiliki bantalan tingkat atas, kontrol pemanas, dan aku akan diberikan tukang pijat pribadi," kata Owen seperti dikutip Caughtoffside.

Owen merupakan legenda hidup Liverpool. Ia mengawali kariernya bersama Liverpool dari tim yunior. Ia naik pangkat ke tim senior pada tahgun 1996 hingga 2004. Ia mencetak 118 gol dari 216 penampilannya bersama "The Kop".

Bersama Liverpool ia meraih gelar Piala FA musim 2000-01, Piala Liga (2000-02, 2002-03), Community Shiled (2001), Piala UEFA (2000-01), dan Piala Super Eropa (2001).

Pada tahun 2004 ia memutuskan pindah ke Real Madrid. Sayang, di tim asal Spanyol tersebut Owen tak berkembang dan hanya bertahan satu musim sebelum bergabung dengan Newcastle United dan kini bermain bersama Manchester United.

[christof_ww]

liat aja om klo michael owen sampe balik lagi ke Anfield..
ane langsung unfollow tuh twitter nya doi... :mad:

[Andi Istiabudi]

Lebih Baik Owen bertahan di United meski dengan status pemain cadangan dan pengganti :D

[fadilbedil]

pindah ke pool juga kayanya tetep aja cuma jadi pemain pengganti
mending diem di united kesempatan dapat piala lebih besar daripada di pool

[novanprihasa]

Get well soon, Owen !

Menanti Kontribusi Owen untuk 'Setan Merah'

Manchester - Bersama Manchester United musim ini, Michael Owen menghabiskan sebagian besar waktunya di ruang perawatan. Hampir fit, ia berujar siap memberikan kontribusi positif di sisa pertandingan 'Setan Merah'.

Gangguan cedera paha memaksa Owen menepi selama hampir enam bulan. Alhasil, pemain berusia 32 tahun itu baru tampil sebanyak empat kali bagi MU dengan sumbangan tiga gol.

Terakhir kali Owen bermain di atas lapangan adalah saat The Red Devils melakoni laga kandang melawang Otelul Galati di Liga Champions, awal November tahun lalu. Hanya bermain 10 menit, dia mendapat cedera dan harus digantikan oleh Javier Hernandez.

Setelah kondisi pahanya mulai membaik, Owen mengungkapkan siap kembali bermain pada empat atau lima pertandingan terakhir MU musim ini.

"Saya harus membawa diri saya ke satu tahap di mana saya bisa bermain pada empat atau lima pertandingan terakhir. Untuk batas tertentu, itu berarti pekerjaan saya sudah usai," kata Owen seperti dilansir Sky Sports.

"Jika saya bisa bermain, apakah kami harus mendapatkan cedera atau butuh satu gol pada 10 menit terakhir pertandingan kemudian saya ada di sana dan manajer tahu saya punya catatan yang menunjukkan saya bisa berbuat sesuatu."

"Apakah saya bermain atau tidak itu tergantung dari keputusan manajer namun saya bisa membawa diri saya pada posisi itu," tutup pemain yang pernah membela Liverpool dan Real Madrid itu.

Owen oh Owen ...
Semoga segera bermain dan mencetak gol bagi United. Sudah terlalu lama Owen menepi di musim ini ...

saya sih yakin 90% Owen bakal dilepas akhir musim nanti. :happy:

Michael Owen: I've played for Liverpool, Real Madrid, Newcastle, Man United, got 90-odd caps for England, 40-odd goals, don't need to work again, got four great kids. I'm not that unlucky!

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/04/05/article-2125786-125E01D3000005DC-630_634x444.jpg

Michael Owen runs a finger along the back of his right leg where a hamstring used to be and retraces a career path that changed one fateful night in Leeds 13 years ago.
April 12, 1999. Owen’s star was in the ascendancy after that goal against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup and a successful second season for Liverpool when the 19-year-old fell to the turf at Elland Road.
‘You’ve got three hamstrings and one was just totally ruptured,’ he says, raising his leg off the sofa to demonstrate the point.

Rare breed: Michael Owen is two weeks away from full fitness - and that could strike fear into the hearts of Manchester City fans
‘It should be right the way down but one bit starts there, attaches there and the rest of it attaches there. I’ve got no hamstring in the middle. I’m basically running on two hamstrings on my right leg and three on the other.

‘That injury has probably changed my whole career. I’ve been compromised from the age of 19.
‘Every specialist says the same thing. It goes from one and then you compensate and it goes to the other one, and then to the groin, and then a double hernia and then on to this.’

Owen is referring to the thigh injury that has kept him out since early November. He has played only four games for Manchester United so far this season, but his three goals have kept up a very respectable strike rate of one in every three games (17 in 52 appearances, 34 of them off the bench) since Sir Alex Ferguson surprised many people by taking him to Old Trafford in 2009.
Owen arrived as a free agent that summer after circulating a brochure through his agents in an attempt to persuade clubs that he was not injury-prone.

Mersey master: Liverpool was the club where Michael Owen made his name
A torn hamstring in the 2010 Carling Cup final, similar to the one he suffered a decade earlier, and his current five-month lay-off might suggest otherwise.

LIVERPOOL
Games: 297 Goals: 158

Analysing Owen’s career has never been easy. Great? Without a doubt. He has played for some of the best clubs in the world, was voted European Footballer of the Year in 2001 and lies fourth in the list of England’s top goalscorers with 40, nine behind Sir Bobby Charlton.

But it could have been one of the greatest and Owen knows it.
‘If I’d still been in one piece from the World Cup and gone through my career, what type of player would I have been?’ he asks rhetorically. ‘No doubt about it, if I hadn’t had as many injuries I would have been the all-time leading scorer for England.

‘I look back on my career like everyone with, “What if this or what if that?”
‘There’s regret that maybe the medical care you’re getting now wasn’t available 14 years ago when I had my big injury. With United, I had it surgically repaired and it’s brand new. I wouldn’t even know I had an injury. Back then you just let it go.

ON INJURIES:
You've got three hamstrings and mine was totally ruptured...that changed my whole career

‘Some people will think I was blighted with injuries and that’s a matter for them. I think to myself that I was exceptional at a young age but I paid the penalty for that.
‘I was 15 and playing in the Under 18s for England, I was seven and in the Under 11s at county level, I was playing above myself all the time.

‘When me and Steven Gerrard were breaking through at Liverpool he was phenomenal at 14 but he just couldn’t stay fit. That was the biggest blessing in disguise for him. He couldn’t play so he grew into his frame and all of a sudden he plays a lot more than me in the latter part of his career.
‘I was just ready and as fast as anything, and as mentally strong as anyone out there. I was ready-made to do it when I was young but now I’ve had to pay the price.

‘Bloody hell, when Gerard Houllier said that I couldn’t play every game I remember saying I’ll rest when I’m 30. He was probably right, wasn’t he! Part of me thinks I’ve been the luckiest person in the world as well. I’ve played for Liverpool, Real Madrid, Newcastle, Man United, got 90-odd caps for England, 40-odd goals, don’t need to work again, got four great kids. I’m not that unlucky!

‘I got a hat-trick in the Champions League, scored against Aston Villa in the Carling Cup final, the winner versus Manchester City and the last goal of the season (against Blackpool) when we won the league. There have been great moments, but this season has been a bloody nightmare with the injury.’

REAL MADRID
Games: 40 Goals: 14

Owen is sat in the upstairs entertainment area of the Manor House Stables he co-owns with his business partner Andrew ‘Bert’ Black in Malpas, a picturesque village on the Cheshire border with Wales. It’s an idyllic setting, half an hour from

Northop where he lives with wife Louise and their young family.
A series of turns through the country lanes takes you to a long driveway, past the mile-and-a-quarter gallop and down to the house where trainer Tom Dascombe lives on site. Three dogs, German short-haired pointers, laze in the afternoon sun.
Among the racehorses poking their heads out from two sets of stables either side of a pristine lawn are Owen’s Ascot winner Brown Panther and Wayne Rooney’s horse Switcharooney.

Cuban Tash is owned by a syndicate of eight United players past and present, with Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick, John O’Shea and Tom Cleverley among the teammates who have bought a stake in some of the 90 horses resident there.
Ferguson too is a keen follower of the sport.

ON ENGLAND:
No doubt about it, I would have been the all-time leading England scorer

On one side a hostel has been built to accommodate 10 stable lads among a staff of 40, next to a veterinary area complete with hydro pool.
‘There wouldn’t be too many yards in Europe or the world with their own facilities on site like that,’ says Dascombe. If only this kind of medical care had been available to Owen when he needed it most.
The 32-year-old United star and Black have invested millions, but Owen isn’t in it for the money.

He loves the sport; loves horses and the personal involvement. It’s why a striker renowned for his clinical, cold-blooded approach to scoring goals wept when Brown Panther won the King George V Stakes at Ascot in June.
‘This was like my son or a family member doing something pretty special,’ says Owen. ‘It almost gets you inside as opposed to a scream of joy or excitement, like winning something or scoring a goal.

‘I think people were surprised because they didn’t realise what goes into it.
‘Nobody knows what it takes to get that horse there. I own the mother and we’ve got all the brothers at home. From a few hours old we’ve seen him being brought into this world. The ups and downs.

Breaking it in, putting the saddle on its back, chucking its jockey off, all the things you need to learn. And then to see it win on the grandest stage of all when I’ve had it as a pet.

NEWCASTLE UNITED
Games: 79 Goals: 30

‘People are spending millions and millions to get a Royal Ascot winner. But to breed one? What I did there was a million to one. It’s impossible to do. I’m obviously just very lucky.’

Horseracing has helped bring out the other side in Owen. He can express himself more easily these days than the intense young man who used to distrust the world and snap at his family. He regularly airs his opinions on Twitter.

‘I’ve formed more friends out of this place than I ever have in my football career because you’re in a tight bubble,’ says Owen, speaking to mark the launch of Manor House’s three-year partnership with Trinity Elite, a tax, accounting and wealth management specialist.
‘You’re scared what you say because different things get out, but here you can relax and meet like-minded people.

‘If you look at anyone at the top of their profession, there has to be something a little bit different. Some of the top musicians are quirky aren’t they, to say the least. You have to be driven, cold, hard and mentally tough as iron.

‘My missus thinks I’m a bit weird. I’m cold and don’t have many emotions really. When Brown Panther won I had a tear in my eye but I don’t think I’ve cried in about 20 years.
‘When I was at the top, I had more quirks than now. My wife thinks I’ve mellowed. I was tough to live with a few years ago, she tells me.

‘On match days I was very on edge if there was anything said to me. She would go into a different room because I would spin things. I was so fired up and ready. I was a lot more volatile. Not physically, just in terms of what I said.

‘I thought I was reasonable but I’d take it out on the ones I love most. My mum used to get it in the neck as well. I never did that with my dad, maybe because I was trying to impress him most with my performances.

‘I was a bit sheltered in my early life because it’s very uncommon for someone so young to be in the spotlight. If you’re a goalscorer you have to have a certain attitude because not everyone can do it.
‘But there was no game face. That was me. I’m very serious. I’m a lot of things that people wouldn’t be able to understand.

‘You’re obviously conscious of being brash or big-headed but I always knew I was going to be a footballer when I was seven or eight. I didn’t just think I wanted to be one, I knew I was going to be one. Nothing ever surprised me really.

‘A bit like when I scored the goal against Argentina. I came back and it’s like, “What did you expect me to do?” I expected to do that. If you don’t think you’re going to do something, then you’ll never do it.’

MANCHESTER UNITED
Games: 52 Goals: 17

Owen is as sensitive about his horseracing commitments as he used to be about his injury record.The last thing he wants is to be seen as an old pro serving out his career and picking up a salary while pursuing an expensive interest outside the game.

‘When I retire from football, I won’t do any more or less than I do now,’ says Owen, who has already started his coaching badges. ‘If it (his business) washes its hands and we have a nice profit out of it, that’s fine, but football is where I want to stay for the rest of my career.
‘I never intended it to be this grand. Once my partner bought in, we’ve taken it to the next level and now it’s something pretty damn special, but it still hasn’t changed my life in many ways.
‘Footballers are criticised for not planning for the future and getting depressed because they’ve nothing to get up in the morning for.

‘Then if you do this, the first question is, “Doesn’t this take your mind off football?” so you can’t win whatever you do. Either you’re a dumb footballer not thinking ahead or you’re not concentrating on football enough. I still probably spend five per cent of my time here, 20 per cent with my family and 60 per cent training.’

ON RELATIONSHIPS:
My missus thinks I’m a bit weird. I’m cold and don’t have many emotions really

Dascombe sees a different side to Owen. They talk every day and meet at the stables every couple of weeks.
‘He always gets very excited,’ says the trainer. ‘Embarrassingly excited, even if we have any little winner, whether he owns it or not.
‘We had a launch day here two years ago in March and our first run from here won a big race down at Lingfield. He was stood here watching it on Sky and he was dancing around, hugging me. He loves his horseracing. He is absolutely so passionate about it. He feels that they’re all his.’

The United striker is two weeks away from full fitness. It means he could feasibly play in the Manchester derby on April 30, which should strike fear into the hearts of the City fans still haunted by his injury-time winner in the 4-3 classic at Old Trafford in September 2009.
Ferguson gave Owen a new one-year contract last summer. There is no guarantee of another.

ENGLAND
Games: 89 Goals: 40

‘I don’t think I’ll play until my late 30s like Giggsy,’ he says. ‘But I’d like to play more, probably for two or three years after this season.
‘I don’t wake up in the morning with sore knees or an achilles. It doesn’t take me half an hour to get out of bed as I hear from some older players. None of that resonates with me. When I get injured it’s sudden and a disaster for three or four months, never just a week.

‘As long as I’m wanted at a good level I will play on, but part of that is in my hands and part isn’t. I’ll wait to see what the manager says on that.

ON THE FUTURE:
I want three more years as a player and then spend the rest of my career in football

‘If it happens, great, we’ll talk about it. If not, I’ll try to stay at a high level. I wouldn’t drop out of the Premier League. I want to stay at the top level or look at other markets, but I have four children and they’re settled in school and that’s something to weigh up.
‘There are a couple of possibilities when I’ve finished and media might interest me. Gary Neville is a breath of fresh air and has almost encouraged me to do it. I get excited when it’s half-time now because he’s so intelligent and brings something new to it.’
The options are there but it is clear Owen is not ready to be put out to grass.

[Andi Istiabudi]

Semuanya masih mungkin terjadi dan tergantung Sir Alex Ferguson...
Bisa jadi Owen dilepas akhir musim ini atau tetap di United jika Berbatov yang pergi. Kita tunggu saja (meski saya pribadi berharap Owen di United 1 musim lagi).
