deflected in off...or

"Deflection" is a fairly familiar word
for Japanese football fans
because Japanese commentators often use the word
in their commentaries.
They might have said
"Lampard no shoot wa Carragher ni atatte deflection shimashita"
when they saw the goal by the Scum's captain.
But they would have been too polite to say
"How many deflected goals has he scored this season? "
"Most of them, I think"
Unlucky Carra and Itandje...
But not unlucky you Crouch!
That was not what most Reds fans wanted from your long legs.
Did Mr.Benitez think they could win
with the team he selected against the strong Blues side
or he just give up?
It is only the Carling Cup some might say
but it would have been the only winnable silverware this season.

OK I don't really care about it.
I'm just worried about Finn's injury.
It didn't seem to be so serious when N'Zogbia stamped on his shin.
Or it might be a different injury or Manager is thinking something.
We all know he thinks a lot...

By the way I found this example in my dictionary.
"deflect from one's duties"
