Chptr 131s.

The match between Southampton and Liverpool in the second half was very fierce.

It was because the Southampton coach was worried about making a decision.

He was worried whether to play more out and attack and then try to score or they played more closed and defensively, trying to maintain this 3-goal deficit so as not to increase the goals again.

In the situation of the Southampton coach, the Southampton players also play random games on the field.

They attacked but then they retreated again because it was very difficult to tear up the Liverpool defence.

Not even just the defense, the midfield alone they did not manage to tear.

They lost in the fight and possession of the ball by the Liverpool players.

The boss on the sidelines is also not stopping to give instructions to players to keep pressing and increase the number of goals.

For anyone, the beginning of the league must be achieved as best as possible.

It was to build and improve the mentality, morale and spirit of the players going forward.

In order for the next match, the players have even more confidence.

Not to demean opponents but to keep the spirit to achieve positive results and be able to maintain it all until the league is over.

Whether it's winning the title or qualifying and getting into the UCL zone is enough for the players and the club.

The Liverpool players on the pitch are also pressing following instructions from the Boss.

In the 71st minute, Declan Rice was replaced by Fabinho, and Aurelien was replaced by Henderson.

With new energy, now the Liverpool midfield also gets a fresh breeze and play even faster.

They pass the ball quickly even though no one is pressing.

They do this so that the opposing player does not have time to think about closing which path will be used as the pass line later.

Nor did it have time to shut down players who were still standing empty.

In the time that continues to run, Southampton also managed to attack even though the attack pattern they use is irregular and fairly random but they really managed to attack and must make Alison intervene.

That way, Southampton also get a record shot on target or shot on target in this game even though only 1 of the total 5 shots during the course of the game.

Corner they don't have it.

Liverpool have 7 corners and have not managed to convert them into a goal.

But in this match, the foul that occurs on the field is very little it is only a total of 4 fouls.

Where Southampton did 3 fouls, and Liverpool 1 because Aurelien who tried to seize the ball but instead pulled and dropped the opposing player.

Fortunately, I did not get a card.

In the 79th minute, Henderson got the ball from Virgil passing behind.

Liverpool do possession in its territory trying to attract Southampton players who play more closed and hearted.

Henderson controlled the ball while his head that did not stop moving looked to his left and right to see his teammates.

Trent and Robertson have also advanced and crossed the halfway line.

Sean and Mbappe have also been increasingly pressing to the middle of the opponent because their position will be used by Trent and Robertson.

Florian also fills the gap between opposing players, which is close to Felix just maybe 4 or 5 meters away from him.

Fabinho is level with Henderson on the ball.

Henderson then passed on Trent on the right side.

Trent also received the ball and immediately looked forward, when Trent did that, the Southampton players immediately moved on.

They panicked and tried to close the spaces and the movements of the Liverpool players.

Henderson went on to Fabinho.

When Fabinho had the ball, Henderson went ahead and level with Florian.

Fabinho is alone in midfield.

Even so, Virgil and Konate advanced a little more and helped Fabinho to set the ball.

Fabinho has signed for Virgil.

The Southampton players are really depressed.

They are also not silent and keep moving because of the Liverpool players who keep moving.

This thrilling game makes the audience also fun and happy to watch it.

Moreover, Liverpool fans who took away to St Mary's, they were not disappointed because the game from their favorite team was very good.

On the sidelines, the Boss also still stands on the sidelines observing the course of the match.

Same is the case with the Southampton coach who is standing on the sidelines with his hands folded on his chest.

He is worried whether Liverpool will add another goal or not.

As time went on with the match on the pitch, the ball was still controlled by Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp also gave instructions to the players on the bench to warm up again.

Minute to 87,

Fabinho passed on Henderson because Henderson asked and had opened up empty space.

I don't know why Henderson did that, but when Henderson was about to receive the ball, he let go through the gap in both legs.

Henderson did a trick, and sure enough the goal achieved by Fabinho's pass was an empty Mbappe.

Mbappe receives the ball and will execute it immediately, but the opposing defender quickly closes it.

Kylian Mbappe was also forced to delay and bring the ball to the corner of the field.

Trent also approached trying to help Mbappe.

Other players also move in search of space.

Sean and Felix went into the box, followed by Florian who entered the penalty box.

While Henderson he immediately ran outside the penalty box close to the semicircle of the penalty box.

Fabinho is also progressing a bit more, so that if there is a counter attack he can cut it quickly.

Mbappe tried to outwit the opposing player, but the opposing defender remained focused on the ball.

When the focus is so, Mbappe passes by doing a trick.

Where the trick is, he will do a step over, but when the left foot will pass the ball, his right foot quickly kicks the ball towards Trent.

Trent who received the ball also shortly and immediately made a pass into the penalty box.

Trent was ready from now on and had noticed the movement in the penalty box so he did not hesitate and just went straight.

The pass given by Trent was curved and it was like a ball looking for a Liverpool player.

And sure enough, when the ball was still soaring, Sean who was at the far post from Trent also immediately moved forward a little and jumped.

Sean did it because he thought it was a very good opportunity and should be used.

Felix and Florian also try to reach for the ball by jumping, but they are too fast to jump so the ball is not hit and not headed.

Sean's last part, Sean is exactly the momentum.

He jumped with the strength of his foot, he directly headed the incoming ball and directed it to the far post, where the next post of the Southampton goalkeeper.
