Chapter 319 Young Bolton
Manchester United's upset is undoubtedly the headlines of all the media the next day. For Manchester United, which aims to break Chelsea's two-year monopoly of the Premier League title this season, the big loss to Southampton in this game is not only as simple as missing three points and being surpassed by Chelsea, but also proves to others that Manchester United also has shortcomings.

In fact, Ferguson was in his office at this time, and he didn't know whether to be happy or helpless.

"Alex, you just think like this. Next season, we will have this pair of terrible twin stars, which will be even more powerful. And Southampton will no longer have the strength to threaten us, right, if you think so, you can be happy."

Queiroz comforted Ferguson helplessly. He understood Ferguson's complicated mood at this time.

Ferguson smiled and waved his hand. For him, the gains and losses of a game can't affect him. Now he doesn't feel sad at all, but happy.

"Now I suddenly feel that Xia Chuang booked Yunfei and Bell in advance last year. It is definitely the best deal I have ever done in my life, bar none!"

When Ferguson said this, his eyes were shining, and one could imagine how happy the old man was at this time!
"Is it better to have a deal with Cantona and Ferdinand?" Seeing that Ferguson was not affected by the defeat, Queiroz was relieved and joked.

"Of course, think about it, how terrible our lineup will be next year!"

Ferguson seems to have seen the birth of another class of 92 at this time. Although these people are no longer trained together by the team, they all have one characteristic in common, that is, they are young!In Ferguson's view, they will be the guarantee of Manchester United's competitiveness in the next ten years!
Following Ferguson's train of thought, Queiroz thought for a while. There was Yunfei in the middle, Ronaldinho and Bell flying on both wings in the frontcourt, and Rooney on the front line. This kind of frontcourt lineup is really scary next season!

"I'm looking forward to that day, but I hope to win this season's championship first and then think about next season!" Queiroz said slowly. Compared with Ferguson, he values ​​the present more. The results of this season are the current team's top priority!
"You are right! I also believe that we will be able to win the championship this season, I firmly believe!" Ferguson responded firmly!

After the big battle in Manchester, the players who returned to Southampton took a break, and immediately ushered in the next opponent in the league. Currently ranked sixth in the league, Bolton is only two points behind Southampton!
The last time the two teams met, Bolton left a very deep impression on Southampton. Anelka scored twice, which is still talked about by the fans.

For such an opponent, both sides can’t afford to lose. If Bolton can beat Southampton, they will surpass Southampton again, return to the fifth position in the league, and continue to attack the top four in the league.

However, at Southampton's home court, Bolton played very conservatively in this game. From the beginning, they put on a defensive posture, as if they must score points.

The first half was spent in a very dull atmosphere, and Bolton successfully kept the score of zero to zero until the second half.

During the intermission, Redknapp was still in the locker room, emphasizing several times that the team must concentrate and not give the opponent a chance to counterattack, especially the killer Anelka, once he is given a chance, it will be fatal!

But in the second half, Southampton still made a mistake. It may be that the interval between the two games was too short. The players were still affected by the double match in a week, and they were not physically prepared. After six or 10 minutes of the game, the team's running dropped significantly, and the control of the game also appeared to be loose.

After several attempts, Bolton, who began to find that Southampton was a little immobile, gradually became more courageous, and began to invest more and more troops on the offensive end. Soon, Bolton's investment paid off. It was Anelka again. His volley from the edge of the penalty area went straight into the corner, breaking the deadlock for Bolton.

This is Anelka's 8th league goal this season, and it also makes people vaguely see a trace of Anelka's demeanor at the peak of Arsenal!
After the goal, Bolton was no longer as conservative as before. Instead, he wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, hoping to expand the score.Southampton's scene was once very passive.

Redknapp on the sidelines is naturally very anxious, but he has nothing to do. The team only has one starting lineup, and most of the players on the bench are far from the starting lineup. This is also the reason why he rarely rotates. Only in cup games does he dare to rotate on a large scale.

Because of this, even though he knew that this group of people will definitely have physical problems in double matches a week, he still did not choose to replace the starters. He hoped that the team could score first at home, so that he would have more room for adjustment, but no one thought that Bolton would be so wretched.

But Bolton is still too young after all. After taking advantage, he honestly continued to shrink back. Maybe Yunfei still has nothing to do with them, but maybe he thinks that Southampton has physical problems and there is no possibility of threatening them. So Bolton's pressure is getting bigger and bigger. When their head coach realizes that there is some danger, it is too late!
After Yunfei easily steals from the backcourt, he sent a long pass and accurately found Bell. Bell quickly rushed along the side, cut into the penalty area, and passed the ball across to Rossi in front of the penalty area. In this position, Rossi's shot is almost sure!
The result was also as expected, Rossi took a shot without any interference and hit the heart!

Bolton's goalkeeper Yining didn't react at all to the shot that almost went straight to the dead corner!
1: 1!

Southampton finally defended the home court with difficulty and scored a point. Bolton left St. Mary's Stadium disappointed. They could have scored three points here, but unfortunately the defense was too relaxed after leading, giving Southampton an opportunity to equalize the score.
