Owen says he's better

INTERNET, London
England striker Michael Owen's unforgettable goal against Argentina four years ago in St Etienne made his global reputation as one of the world's emerging stars.
Now the Liverpool forward has not the slightest doubt that he is a far more complete player than he was then, the Mirror reported.
Owen said: "St Etienne does feel like a different world now, a long time ago. But I didn't want to be remembered just for that goal against Argentina.
"You can't play well in every game and I've had ups and downs and injuries. But four years ago, I'd have settled for being where I am now.
"I've made progress. It's not just in football. Over four years you'd expect young golfers or tennis players to improve. I feel I've done all right.
"I'm an all-round better player than I was against Argentina last time. I'm better in the air...and with my left foot!''
Owen smiled broadly as he made reference to Glenn Hoddle's doubts over his technical ability.
The Reds' boss Gerard Houllier shared them and told Owen he had to learn. Houllier said: "Michael had to improve his left foot. He did and I can pick out two games to show the work he's done.
"I said to him: 'If you want to be a top player you have to use your left foot. If you have to come back on your right foot, you lose your advantage and the goalkeeper knows what you're going to do'."
Owen accepted Houllier's advice.
The striker added: "Gerard has been a great help. I wanted it to happen as well, to improve and become a better player.
"I'd have wanted to be the player making the run he made. Now I do that a bit more. But I never want to take away my main asset, which is getting behind defenders."
Since France 1998, Owen has scored 87 goals in 159 games for Liverpool.
His England goal record is now running at 15 in 34 appearances, with seven coming in his 10 matches for Eriksson.
He said: "I don't think anyone's ever questioned what I can do.
"They have questioned my fitness, straight after a setback. If they're still questioning me, it will be the case through my career. I can only keep doing it and keep proving people wrong.
"So far I've always answered them. If you're going to be a top player you've got to be able to do things on the big occasions, to prove the doubters wrong.
"I was just happy to be involved last time. There were great players only on the bench so I went there thinking that if I played only five minutes I'd still be able to say I'd been part of the World Cup. Now it is different, with expectation on me, but I don't mind having that.
"This time I'm more experienced, with over 30 games for England and having played against world-class players. I've got that advantage.
"I've scored in big games and I hope that continues. It would be great to get the Golden Boot because not many people have won that.
"We're one of eight teams who have a real chance of winning it. Obviously France and Argentina might be ahead of us in that list, but we wouldn't be scared of them.
"We don't want to be talking about lifting the World Cup yet but we know we'll be a hard team to beat. We know our quality and that we can pose other teams problems.
"When you're together as a squad that feeling and belief can grow. All the best teams in the world have that spirit when things are going well. You need that."
