Michael Owen, a Super Eagles player for the Champions League, was to blame for Ajax’s loss to Liverpool.. In response to Liverpool’s late goal to defeat Ajax 2-1 in their Champions League match on Tuesday, former England striker Michael Owen criticized Ajax defender Calvin Bassey for “not doing enough.”
In the Group A match, Mohammed Kudus tied the score in the 27th minute after Mohamed Salah gave the Reds the lead in the 17th.
Before Joel Matip headed in a thrilling late winner, it appeared as though the game would conclude level.
As Rio Ferdinand stated, “Bassey is genuinely keeping an eye on Matip, and finally, you look through the corpses, he’s [Bassey] the closest one to him [Matip], so it was his guy. Therefore, as Rio [Ferdinand] said, he [Bassey] just doesn’t do enough.
Owen told BT Sports, “He lets him get a run on him and you can’t do that.”
