儘管主帥埃裏克松要求，但歐文表示不會改變踢球的風格。

　　上場英格蘭同特立尼達和多巴哥的比賽中，英格蘭隊表現差強人意，埃裏克松賽前曾表示，英格蘭的問題主要在於前鋒隊員跑動過少。但歐文明確表示，決不會做替罪羊。

　　原文： Michael: I won't change

　　DEFIANT Michael Owen will NOT change his style of play — despite demands from Sven Goran Eriksson for more mobility.

　　England’s leading scorer is adamant he will continue to ply his trade in the penalty area during the World Cup.

　　And he has made it clear he will not be made the scapegoat for the team’s less-than-impressive performances against Paraguay and Trinidad.

　　Owen was hauled off after just 55 minutes of England’s opening Group B game and lasted only 58 minutes of Thursday’s encounter before being replaced by Wayne Rooney.

　　Now he has hit back at boss Eriksson’s pre-match claim that the poor movement of the forwards is largely responsible for the Three Lions’ problems.

　　The Newcastle striker said: “If the team isn’t playing well, then I’m not getting chances and I’ll probably be the quietest man on the pitch.

　　“But I’m not going to start dropping deeper for the short ball all the time just for the sake of it, to catch people’s eye and get my name in the papers.

　　“That would be doing a disservice to the team.
