Manchester United unexpectedly drew with Liverpool, and I am overjoyed now!

As a result, Manchester United surprisingly managed to leave Anfield, the home ground of Liverpool, unscathed, a situation that nobody (including a Manchester United fan like myself) expected. Honestly, I never anticipated this outcome, but, in hindsight, football is enchanting because it must be filled with limitless possibilities.

First, let me share my personal feelings, primarily influenced by the trauma of the previous season's 7-0 defeat by Liverpool, which left a profound psychological impact on me. No one can truly understand the extent of my psychological trauma at that time. So, in this match, I genuinely believed that if the final score ended with Liverpool winning 1-0 or 2-0, I would consider it a very decent result. Yes, that's how significant the psychological trauma was. Not to mention that Liverpool had a staggering 34 shots in this game, yet we managed to secure a valuable point with a 0-0 draw, and I feel quite satisfied.

We've discussed the topic of football being full of limitless possibilities before, but it's one thing to say it as a slogan, and it's another to believe it as a Manchester United fan when faced with the harsh reality. Looking back now, I appreciate the words of Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp before the match. When asked about his views on last season's 7-0 victory, Klopp casually remarked that unless they could bring the previous result into this game, the previous result would be meaningless, and they wouldn't underestimate Manchester United.

Indeed, Liverpool played hard, but Manchester United's defense in this match was the best defensive performance I've seen this season. It felt like they were defending with their lives, and I'm very happy that we could walk away with a point. Some may argue that being happy with a draw doesn't make sense, but considering the current level of the team and the formidable nature of Anfield, I think it's worth celebrating.

This is the perennially fascinating aspect of football—it's simple yet complex. The unpredictability of other sports doesn't come close to football. In a match where Liverpool had 34 shots compared to Manchester United's 9, how did it end in a draw? I dare say this wouldn't happen in any other sport. That's why football produces more upsets, where underdogs defeat giants—a script everyone loves to see. Football is more likely to realize such scripts compared to other sports, making it the most popular sport in the world.

I believe it's a systemic issue. After all, last season's 7-0 defeat left Manchester United without any good news, and those considering investing in Manchester United are feeling jittery. Of course, not being able to win games against Manchester United is something I didn't anticipate.

This time, Manchester United deserves praise for being able to secure a draw!

Surprisingly, Liverpool didn't win. It seems my judgment was off again.

Nothing too extraordinary, it's all luck. The actual strength is just average.

It remains to be seen if Manchester United will make adjustments in the winter transfer window. Otherwise, their prospects in European competitions for the next season could be at risk.
