Chapter 387: Point Victory over the Red Army
The game has been played to such an extent that it seems that the outcome of the game is no longer very interesting, and everyone wonders if it continues in this form, whether Liverpool really use the human wall to get a draw, or Notts County's shell tactics to bomb Liverpool and then get a victory.

As time passed, the ball shot by Notts County seemed to be with a sense of anxiety, and at the last moment, if Notts County could not break Liverpool's goal, they would not be able to leave with three points, facing the embarrassing situation of being chased by Arsenal.
Sneijder shoots from distance, hits the Liverpool player and bounces back;
Alonso shoots from distance, hits the Liverpool player and bounces back;
Deco shoots from distance, hits the Liverpool player and bounces back;
……
Even players with footwork such as Lahm couldn't help but come up and try a few kicks.
Seeing that the fourth official on the sidelines has already raised the stoppage time sign, and Liverpool is blocking Notts County's long-range shot with their lives, they have seen the light of day!
Alonso and others all looked solemn, they tried high-altitude balls, and long-range shots were also tried, they really didn't have a good way to break Liverpool's goal, at this time, I'm afraid there was more of an element of luck, but obviously, today God was moved by Liverpool's desperateness, so there was some tragedy in Notts County.
In the final moments, the fans in the KOP stands were even more nervous than the players, and they used their last strength to shout for the team, and the sound soared into the sky.
Every Liverpool player seems to have a small universe burning behind them, and this energy is enough for them to sustain themselves until the end of the game.
But Alonso didn't want to give up, and as captain of the new Magpies, Alonso knows how much he and his team-mates and the club have to give.
It may not be a game that will decide the final title, but it is just as important, and he will never allow Notts County to return to Nottingham with a single point of disgrace in this game, and his pride and his persistence will not allow it.
After receiving Sneijder's reply, Alonso's face was cold, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he faced the incoming ball, as if all the strength of his body was concentrated on his feet, and he hit the ball fiercely, as if with a raging and beating flame, and rowed a comet-like trajectory, heading straight for Liverpool's goal.
The ball was powerful and heavy, and it went straight through the Liverpool goal like a long rainbow, and its momentum was unbearable, which shocked the Liverpool players.
Gerrard took a step forward and appeared on the trajectory of the ball in an instant, and at this moment, he had no choice.
Just when Gerrard's mind was sublimated to the team and he saw death as if he were at home, the ball made a strange arc, and at the moment when he couldn't react at all, it smashed into his wrist and collapsed out of the bottom line.
The crowd erupted in the most fervent applause and cheers at that moment, and the fans didn't see it very clearly, they only knew that their captain used his body to block Notts County's shot, and then Liverpool would draw at home to Notts County.
But in the midst of this earth-shattering cheer, a whistle was so discordant, but because this whistle came from the referee on duty, all the other sounds were masked.
Alonso saw it best and Steven Gerrard blocked his shot with his hands in the box and there was no doubt about it as a penalty.
So he and several Notts County players subconsciously made a gesture to signal Gerrard to handball, and quickly wanted to run to the referee to complain.
However, before he could run in front of the referee, the referee had already made a penalty gesture and awarded a penalty directly to Notts County.
Gerrard's eyes were full of disbelief, although he knew what kind of action he had just made, but at this time, absolutely no one would admit it, he rushed to the referee with an impulsive expression, kept shaking his fingers, and pointed to his shoulder, indicating that the ball hit his shoulder just now, and it was not a penalty.
The referee actually saw clearly, the reason why he just hesitated was because he was afraid that the penalty awarded in stoppage time would be attacked after the game, but the penalty was too obvious, and after a little consideration, he still gave Notts County a penalty, at least this penalty is absolutely no problem.
No matter how Gerrard explained, the referee remained unmoved, and he also gave the Reds captain a yellow card when Gerrard was suspected of exposing foul language, showing his iron-faced selfless side.
The game was suspended for a while, and no matter what pressure Liverpool's players and fans exerted, the referee did not change his decision, and in the end, Liverpool was unwilling to accept the reality.
In the face of the penalty, Alonso did not back down, and withstood the boos of the whole stadium, and made a firm victory.
Blowing the whistle for the goal of the goal, without any pause, the referee directly blew the whistle for the end of the game, and then walked into the players' tunnel without looking back, even the process of shaking hands with the players was omitted, as the most hated character of Liverpool fans now, he will not continue to listen to the fans booing him here!
Alonso and the Notts County players hugged each other with big expressions, and although it was only a late penalty to win the game, they deserved it and now it's time to enjoy it.
On the contrary, the Liverpool players, including the coaches, were bitter in their hearts, but they didn't expect to hold the whole game, but they fell short at the last moment, not to mention how uncomfortable it was to be killed!
There was a sense of regret and despair in Houllier's expression, if he had known that it would be a failure, then why would he let the team put down the pride of the giants and fight back defensively!
He had imagined what kind of ridicule he would receive after the game.
This is not the most important thing, because the results in the league are not ideal, the fans will shout slogans from time to time to let him go to class, even in the club's upper management, there are already such voices, and now it seems that this day is really not far away.
Judging from the current situation, Liverpool not to mention winning the championship, even if it wants to fight a bloody way in the league to get the Champions League places, Notts County, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United, none of which Liverpool has a chance to surpass, and Manchester City and other teams are also chasing after each other, Liverpool's results really do not match the identity of the giants at all.
This loss to Notts County made his situation even worse, if he led the team to play against Notts County and unfortunately lost, then it doesn't matter, but he doesn't even want the face of a giant, but he can't hold a draw, what is such a coach going to do?
Continue to lose face? (To be continued.) )
