Chapter 106 No If
penalty!A penalty without a doubt!

Chen Zhun admired the courage and decisiveness of the referee.There are still 3 minutes to the end of the game. It takes a lot of courage to award a penalty kick at this time, not to mention that this is Liverpool's home court.

The audience booed everywhere, Liverpool players surrounded the referee, appealing to the referee, Hyypia even held his head innocently, he regretted that action just now, regretted it very much.Seeing this situation, Chen Zhun hurriedly asked his players to surround the referee, and asked them to isolate the Liverpool players from the referee's sight. He didn't want such words to affect the referee's vision Decide.

The short-term confusion was controlled by the referee in time, and the penalty kick could no longer be changed.

Chen Zhun clenched his fist deeply, this is an opportunity, and there is only such a chance.

Kevin Phillips took the penalty and he was facing Van der Sar!
Success or failure is here!
Chen Zhun watched the penalty kick intently, held his breath, and waited for the moment he expected.It must happen.

Kevin Phillips walked slowly to the penalty spot, there seemed to be a trace of hesitation in his eyes, the pressure of this penalty kick was simply too great, and he could not be calm in his heart, as if the fate of penalty kicks in English football had always been shrouded in Every English player, so the media later will say that the English players have everything, but they lack a strong psychological quality.They were useless in front of the penalty kick, and their bodies were revealed.

Kevin Phillips tried to drive away the hesitation in his heart, but he found that the hesitation and tension were eating away at his heart little by little, making him on the verge of inner collapse. He wanted to end the penalty kick quickly, and he couldn't stand it. kind of torment.Kevin Phillips bent down, swayed the ball, and found that his hands were shaking involuntarily, really involuntarily.Then came the trembling of the legs.Kevin Phillips already felt that he was no longer himself. At this time, he seemed to be separated from his body, a wandering soul, watching his numb self like a puppet, completing the planned actions.

Sweat was dripping on his forehead, and his heart was pounding.The referee's whistle was looming, Van der Sar in front of him was also staggering, Kevin Phillips was very nervous, and he was not at all a veteran who has been on the football field for more than ten years.

Kevin Phillips ran up and shot. He seemed to vent all his fear and tension on the ball, forgetting that it was a penalty kick, not an ordinary shot.

Van der Sar has already made a save, but he leisurely watched the ball fly high out of the goal!

Penalty missed!
Kevin Phillips knelt on the penalty spot weakly, unable to get up again.

Resentment, regret, disappointment, frustration, powerlessness.

Why did all the emotions that had disappeared just now occupied my heart again, and it was getting slower and slower, and I couldn't breathe.

Seeing that the penalty kick was missed, Chen Zhun clenched his fists subconsciously and leaned back.Disappointment palpable.

3 minutes passed quickly, and Southampton lost the game in the second leg.

Liverpool also successfully drew [-]-[-] in the three rounds with Southampton, and the second round of the next League Cup meeting will become a tiebreaker.

Chen Zhun did not leave the field immediately after the game, but waited for Kevin Phillips, because at this moment, he needed Chen Zhun's comfort, which is a great encouragement for a veteran, of course, let a veteran It is also unfair to take all the responsibility alone.

Kevin Phillips walked over with his head down all the way.Chen Zhun stepped forward quickly and hugged Kevin Phillips.

"Boss! I'm sorry! I messed up everything!" Kevin Phillips said in a low voice.

"Needless to say I'm sorry, you are a warrior, these things are normal on the court, no one can be perfect, your performance today is very good, don't care! Understand! Kevin!" Chen Zhun comforted.

Chen Zhun also said a lot of words of encouragement in the locker room. Fortunately, Bolton also lost this round, while Middlesbrough in front of them was tied by Charlton, so Southampton and The gap between the Middlesbrough team is only two points, and nothing has changed.

This game also did not attract much attention from the media, because Liverpool's victory over Southampton was reasonable, and there was no special report at all. As for the penalty that was undoubtedly correct, there was nothing worthy of a lot of ink to describe it.

The days continued to live peacefully, and now Chen Zhun has resumed his two-point and one-line life, the training base and his home.Watching the game video day and night, thinking about tactical routines.

All other things were left behind, and the mobile phone had been quietly lying in Chen Zhun's trouser pocket, without making any sound.Lin Qinling seemed to have disappeared, and so did Alice.

After another two days of rest, the Southampton team continued their league tour.An away game against Glenshire's old club Birmingham.

The process of the game was uneventful, and finally relied on Kanoute's header to win the away game [-]-[-].But Chen Zhun found that Glenshire's performance was still tepid, and he hadn't found his own state. This was what Chen Zhun was always worried about. Could it be that Glenshire was really not as brave as before.

During the game, Glenn Shire often drifted away from Chen Zhun's tactical system. He was not active in defense and was a bit procrastinated when attacking, which slowed down the team's offensive speed. Chen Zhun also had a long talk with Glenn Shire after the game. Fan, let him face up to his ability. If Glenshire still doesn't improve, then he has no choice but to be a substitute.

After the game, Chelsea continued to maintain a [-]-point lead, and the path to the championship became increasingly clear.Southampton also continued to rank sixth, and the other two competitors also won successively, continuing the unbreathable ranking defense battle.

The next match was against Liverpool, and Chen Zhun didn't want to hug Benitez anymore, because the smell of Benitez made Chen Zhun a little sick, and he got used to it.In this game, Chen Zhun will continue to send substitute players and add new players to the lineup. After two games, Chen Zhun has no understanding of Liverpool. This game will be played according to his own style of play. Since he has an advantage, he must have If you keep kicking with confidence, you might just make it to the finals.

Chen Zhun returned home, showered and slept, tossed and turned, looking at the starry sky outside the window, bright but lonely, very much like himself.

The light is shining, but no one appreciates it, so I can only enjoy the lonely light shining on the darkness silently.
