Chapter Ninety-Five: Glory Despite Defeat

Crouch pushed Carragher to leap hard, his waist strength supporting him, and then his head was thrown back, the ball passed his head and turned to the back of his head, he couldn't see what was happening in front of him, he just wanted the ball to get to Kevin Phillips as he wished.

As Crouch had hoped, Kevin Phillips received the ball and sprinted into the Liverpool penalty area.

Five seconds later, Chen Zhun confidently raised his arm and showed a rare confident smile.

Kevin Phillips relied on a counter-attack to finally equalise hard.

Liverpool and Southampton are back on the same page. Chen Zhun calmed down a little at this time, because the game had just started at this time.

The game went on, and Southampton did not continue to press high, turning into a retrenched defensive nature. Chen Zhun wants to play a war of attrition with Liverpool, drag the Liverpool team to the last minute, and hold a draw.

But Chen's illusions were shattered in the sixth minute after Southampton's equaliser.

Liverpool relied on a simple combination of wings and middles, from the right player Reese crossed into the box, Pongele did not grab the first point, was cleared by Lundkwan, but it was this clearance that created Liverpool's second goal.

Southampton's lack of protection from the midfielders on the line of the penalty area has left the barrier in the middle of the field blank and the door wide open. In the end, Alonso took the ball and fired a direct shot from distance. The ball rolled against the turf into the bottom right corner of the Southampton goal.

Liverpool, who were leading again, were finally starting to show their dominance. Until the end of the game, there was no equaliser again.

In the end, Southampton did not get a win to finish their final official game of 2004.

Regret always appears when you least want it to happen, and that's life.

Chen Zhun was not discouraged, because this was a defeat that had been expected for a long time, and he had full confidence to accept this fact. Chen Zhun also communicated with the players in the locker room in this way, and the players also understood the meaning of the head coach's words.

As night fell, Chen Zhun sat alone in the hotel looking at the brightly lit scenery outside, forgetting his mind for a while, and suddenly, a rapid text message ringtone came into his numb brain. An inexplicable sense of excitement welled up in my heart.

When I opened the short message, it was really sent by Xiaoling.

"Did you sleep?"

"Not yet, why haven't you slept yet."

"I'll go to bed right away, and ask how your game is going today."

"It's a shame to lose."

"Don't be discouraged, win it back next time."

"Well, when did you care so much about football."

"I've always been very concerned, you just don't pay attention."

"Okay."

"I'm going to sleep, you should go to bed early. Mr. Head Coach. ”

"Well, okay, good dreams."

"Good dreams."

Chen Zhun smiled and fell asleep too. Because there are two more games on January 1st and January 3rd.

The time soon came to January 1st, and the winter transfer period officially arrived, and Chen Zhun finally waited for this day. Because of the game, Chen Zhun did not meet these new players, but came to Manchester to prepare for the match against Manchester City. Chen Zhun also talked to Arneson on the phone, asking him to meet with the players who have completed the transfer and reported to the team to settle them down. Then start to have the transfer funds in hand and start to transfer people according to your own transfer list.

----

The losing streak is actually a big blow to Chen Zhun, but when you think about it, it is a blessing that the team under his command can avoid many times without losing in a row, and there is no way to lose in Manchester this time. Niemi has already reported to Parma, and Frei has yet to catch up in time, with Frei only available on the 3rd against Fulham.

The 0-2 defeat, Chen Zhun will still feel very painful in his heart whenever he sees this score, but he can no longer be caught in a deep game, because now in the deep transfer period, Chen Zhun must communicate with Arneson in time to understand where the targets in his list are going.

Fortunately, the results are gratifying. Because Southampton's results are still consistently in the top six of the Premier League, many quality players have agreed to come to this small city.

Of the transfer income of 19.5 million pounds, Southampton Club recovered 5 million pounds, and there are 14.5 million pounds left, and Chen Zhun is very satisfied with this huge amount.

In his previous life, Frederick Canout, the Sevilla killer, had a very unsatisfactory season at Tottenham Hotspur, and scored an own goal last month, which completely made Tottenham manager Joel lose confidence in him, of course, all this Chen Zhun saw it, so he began to let Arneson pay attention to him very early, and finally won it for 3 million pounds under the communication with Tottenham Hotspur club.

The 27-year-old Jesper Glenschal, a former Danish winger, has also struggled with Birmingham this season. But Chen Zhun has always believed that the 27-year-old Glen Shire's peak has just arrived. The recruitment of Glen Schal was, of course, handed over to his fellow Danish countryman Arnesen. So he asked Arneson to go to Birmingham City to negotiate with Birmingham Club and Danish fellow Glen Charles about the transfer to Southampton when he was on the 26th, and the situation was much easier than Chen Zhun had beforehand, and Chen Zhun thought that Glen Charles would not agree too much with Southampton's invitation. At the same time, La Liga side Atletico Madrid were also very interested in him, but Glen Schal made it clear that he would only go to Southampton FC. In a subsequent phone call, Arneson told Chen about Glen Shire's thoughts. In addition to listening to the advice of his fellow countrymen, the most important point is that he wants to prove that he will be successful in the Premier League, but he has not met a good coach, and he hopes that Chen Zhun is the coach who will make him successful. Glen Charles also admitted that the decision was a gamble, but he had no choice.

2 million pounds, the ultra-low price won Jespe Glen Shire, Chen Zhun was secretly happy in his heart, he was not very happy at a very low price, because in the previous life, the price of Glen Shire was no different from now, Chen Zhun was happy to find a treasure, just like going to the antique market and seeing a treasure that he had been thinking about for a long time.

After ending the acquisition of Glen Shire, Chen Zhun finally set his sights on the back line, which is where Chen Zhun urgently needs to be transformed, the fullback position.
