Chapter 298 Anfield Night

To be honest, when you are in such a frenetic environment, it's hard not to be affected by the high morale of the opponent.

This is how Yunfei feels now, he feels that he is surrounded by his opponent, as if he is alone in the boundless ocean, isolated and helpless.

After the goal, Liverpool turned into a torrent that rolled forward, engulfing everyone in Southampton. Just a few minutes, it seemed like a century. At least for Yunfei, this was the first time he had such a strong feeling on the court.

Yunfei has tried very hard to get rid of this feeling of powerlessness, but when the whole team is in this state, the individual strength is undoubtedly weak.

Fortunately, time is gradually coming to an end. Although Liverpool launched a crazy attack after scoring the goal, they still failed to break through Southampton's goal. Now Liverpool's striker is indeed too poor in seizing opportunities.

Just when the game was about to end, Liverpool got a free kick in the frontcourt. This was Liverpool's last chance. After the ball passed, the referee would blow the whistle for the end of the game!
Both Alonso and Gerrard stood in front of the ball, and both of them may and have reasons to handle the ball. At this time, the two of them covered their mouths and kept communicating, possibly discussing who will take the free kick.

At this time, Benitez on the sidelines looked at the field expressionlessly. It is difficult for you to judge what his expression represents at this time, but his clenched fist and slightly pursed lips have already shown the tension in Benitez's heart as the head coach at this time.

On the other side, Redknapp stared at Alonso and Gerrard on the field, looking a little dazed.

Soon, Alonso and Gerrard in front of the ball discussed who would take the free kick. Gerrard slowly left the ball, leaving Alonso alone.

"This position can hit the goal or pass the ball. I just don't know how Alonso will deal with it, but this position is actually very suitable for direct attack. Davis must be mentally prepared!"

The goalkeeper Davis is naturally aware of this. He arranged the wall for a long time nervously, and then nodded a little relaxed.

"It's started! Alonso is running!"

Alonso's gaze never left the opponent's goal from the very beginning. He had already made up his mind to shoot directly. This time, he hoped to score a goal!
"Shoot! Alonso chose a direct attack! The ball went in! A perfect curve ball! The ball bypassed the wall and flew into the goal. Davis was completely helpless with the ball. Liverpool equalized. At Anfield, at their home court, they tenaciously defended a point!"

The excitement of the commentator at this time could not reflect the fiery atmosphere in the stadium. The cheering fans, celebrating players, carnival substitute players and coaches, the whole venue felt as if they had won the Champions League. The fanaticism was unbelievable.

In such an environment, the Southampton players naturally would not choose to stay longer. The moment the whistle blew, all the Southampton players walked into the player tunnel with their heads down. Although they did not lose, this place did not belong to them.

On the bus back to Southampton, everyone was silent. Although it was not so difficult to accept a point in the away game at Anfield, everyone felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts at this time. It was so uncomfortable in their chests.

The team’s performance in this game was already good enough, but in the end they still achieved such a result. At this time, Yunfei suddenly understood how Milan lost. Sometimes mental strength really passes through the illusion and comes to reality. If you really want to ask what is the difference between Southampton and Liverpool in this game, Yunfei thinks it may be such a difference. Liverpool never lost their desire to win the game from the beginning to the end.

Regarding this, Redknapp knows well that if a team like them is trapped in the relegation zone or competes for the championship in the British Championship, then they may be able to work together, and everyone is full of belief in winning.But if it is in the Premier League, the current results are enough to satisfy most people, so there are some deviations in thinking.

Redknapp is very aware of this situation in the team, but he has no way to solve it. He can only watch it this way, unless the team has a chance to compete for the top four or the cup championship at the end of the season. At that time, perhaps the players will be able to truly realize that they have the ability to stir up the situation in the Premier League. At least the past [-] rounds of the league have shown this point!
The draw between Southampton and Liverpool added one point to both points.Because Liverpool led Southampton by one point before the game, this draw did not change the rankings of the two teams. Currently, Liverpool ranks fourth in the standings, while Southampton is one point behind, ranking fifth with a goal difference advantage, overtaking Arsenal.

Speaking of it, although this round of the Premier League seemed to be uneventful, and most of the strong teams got the points they deserved, but in the last round of the game, the two strong teams overturned inexplicably.

Arsenal and Portsmouth drew a draw. This is not the first time this has happened to Arsenal this season, but it is not surprising.What is even more unexpected is that Manchester United actually lost to West Ham United, which is ranked lower in the league, which is surprising. In this way, the three-point lead that Manchester United had previously had in the standings disappeared. They can only overwhelm Chelsea with the advantage of goal difference. This season's championship competition will take a long time to reach the final result.As for whether Ferguson can have the last laugh and regain the league championship from Mourinho, or whether Mourinho can lead the team to win three consecutive league championships, we can only wait and see!

In fact, the team returning to Southampton did not have time to think too much about the game that just ended, because just two days later, they will play against Arsenal at home. This is the second time the two teams have played against each other this season.
