Chapter 1014: How Is the Cooperation?
Now that the game has progressed to the 70th minute, after Klopp played three cards in one breath, Kintag also made substitutions and adjustments accordingly.
Now the team has a 2-0 lead. Facing Liverpool's crazy attack, Kintag decided to make the midfield more stable. He replaced Kroos with Nainggolan, and the hardest midfield combination reappeared.
Then, Kintag replaced Mbappe and Griezmann with Sane and Fekir.
In this way, Manchester United's offensive trident has become Sane, Fekir and Salah. Sane and Salah rushed forward, and Fekir played a position of nine and a half between the center forward and the attacking midfielder. He had to cooperate more with De Bruyne behind him.
Not long after this adjustment, Manchester United scored again.
This time it was the performance of the newly replaced Sane.
Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold was in a slightly better mood when he saw Salah go the other way. But he did not expect that the newly replaced German Sane is no less threatening than Salah!
In an attack from the left, Sane faced the defense of three Liverpool players on the wing. He was like taking a small step, protruding left and right in a small area on the edge of the penalty area. The three Liverpool players had nothing to do with him.
Morris in the live broadcast room said with emotion: "Sane's little skills are simply outstanding! Seeing him wearing the No. 11 jersey, I can now recall what Giggs looked like on the court twenty years ago. "
"Now Sane is active on the penalty area line, no Liverpool player dares to step down easily!"
"Sane passed the ball! He caught a tiny gap and passed the ball to the back!"
"Salah fell to the ground and took a tackle! The ball went in!!"
"In the 73rd minute of the game, Manchester United scored again!"
"3 to 0! Manchester United has secured the victory!"
"Kintag's first crown in 2018 has been won! And Klopp's first Liverpool crown is about to be beaten!"
These words of Morris made the Liverpool fans in front of the TV curse constantly.
"Go to NM! Our Liverpool is a master of comeback!"
"The score of 0 to 3 is just the beginning! We will definitely be able to regain the League Cup!"
Klopp, who was on the sidelines at this time, was almost crazy.
"Press the attack! Don't give up! You still have a chance!"
Liverpool's frantic bombing finally received results.
In the 80th minute of the game, Liverpool finally opened up space on the left.
This time it's a solo performance by their thigh mane. In the double-teaming of Kimmich and Kanter on the left, he suddenly accelerated and dribbled the ball on the penalty area line, passing two defensive players!
That's when Koulibaly scrambled his foot inside the penalty area, tripping Mane and giving Liverpool a penalty.
Firmino made it overnight and finally got back a goal.
At this time, Henderson rushed into the net, ran back holding the ball, and waved his fists while running, shouting loudly.
"Guys! Two balls left! We still have a chance! Come on!"
Encouraged by Henderson, Liverpool rekindled their confidence in a comeback. Their offensive wave after wave made Manchester United a little breathless for a while.
At this time, Manchester United needs one person to stand up and interrupt Liverpool's offensive rhythm as much as possible to ensure that the last ten minutes can be passed smoothly.
At this time, Kintag turned his gaze to a player on the court, and at this time, this player was also looking at Kintag with questioning eyes. After the two looked at each other, Jin Taige nodded, and then made an index finger upward gesture to him, pointing in the direction of the sky. The player immediately understood what Jin Taige meant!
So, in the next ten minutes, Fekir's performance time began...
"Milner and Fekir fought together in the midfield! Fekir's personal skills are too good! He passed Milner!"
"But why didn't he continue to dribble forward, but just protected the ball on the spot? Maybe he was waiting for his teammates to advance."
"But the Liverpool people didn't give him a chance, and Milner walked around him,
Poke the ball out! "
"Fekir fell to the ground! Milner should have kicked Fekir just now! Fekir rolled on the ground in pain!"
"The referee stopped the game! At this time, all the Manchester United players surrounded! Nainggolan pushed Milner aside! Milner did not show any weakness. He and Nainggolan choked each other! "
"The situation on the court was very hot, and there was a fierce conflict between the players on both sides!"
At this time, the Liverpool fans in the audience were also shouting loudly, cursing Manchester United players, Manchester United coaches, and everything related to Manchester United!
And Kintag on the sidelines was also complaining loudly to the fourth official, his eyes were red with anger: "Mr. Referee! You should have seen it just now! Milner kicked Fekir fiercely! His behavior is simply too bad Already!"
On the other side, Klopp was also extremely angry: "Fekir is a flop! Just now Milner just touched him lightly, and his falling to the ground is simply too exaggerated!"
Jin Taige did not show any weakness: "What is exaggeration! Do you have to wait until Fekir's leg is broken before he can fall down on the court!"
Kintag and Klopp on the sidelines confronted and quarreled, and the scene was extremely chaotic! The fourth official couldn't control it at all!
At this time, not only the fourth official is worried, but the head coach on the field is also very worried!
He called the captains of the two teams to his side and asked Van Dijk and Henderson to separate the players from both sides. Under the coordinated control of the captains of the two teams, the scene finally calmed down.
Only then did Adolf, the team doctor of Manchester United, walk up slowly. He stood in the crowd and waited until the people surrounding Fekir had receded, then he squatted down slowly to check on Fekir.
Adolf patted Fekir who fell on the ground: "Man, how did I cooperate this time?"
Fekir gave Adolf a sly look, and his extended index finger suddenly changed to a thumb: "Perfect."
Adolf checked Fekir calmly, at this time the referee made a verdict. He gave a yellow card to Nainggolan who had come forward to provoke him just now, and warned him; before turning around, the referee directly showed Milner a red card and sent him off the pitch!
The Liverpool players were suddenly angry!
Henderson protested loudly: "Why is it a player conflict at the same time, Nainggolan got a yellow card, and Milner got a red card?!"
The head coach explained peacefully: "Because both of them are the core of the conflict between the players, but Milner kicked Fekir down just now, and he was punished for both crimes, so he was given a red card."
What else did the Liverpool players want to say, Henderson stopped everyone, he hoped to restart the kick-off quickly, and the most important thing is to seize the time to equalize the score.
At this time, the injured Fekir limped down the court with the support of Adolf...
