Chapter 972 A Commonplace Meal

Looking at the crazy celebration of the Manchester United players in the corner kick area, Mike Phelan, Rolf, Carrick and others hugging each other on the sidelines, Mortensen made this comment.

"The two set-piece goals both took advantage of the opponent's mistakes, which makes me very disappointed."

"Liverpool and Manchester United, which rank among the top three in attack power this season, basically did not create opportunities in sports battles. They could only see constant fighting, stealing the ball, and counterattacking."

Mortensen turned to look at Gerrard, "Stephen, have you ever experienced such a double red event?"

"It's hard to say." Gerrard explained: "Best and Ferguson are a bit similar, not in terms of tactics or team management methods, but in terms of personality."

"If the team is in good condition, Ferguson will come out and attack Liverpool head-on. But if faced with a dilemma, Ferguson will also choose to move forward."

"They can all flexibly arrange tactics according to the team's current situation." Mortensen nodded, "Manchester United's schedule is very intensive in January, and Liverpool has a physical advantage."

Gerrard didn't say anything. He doubted whether Klopp's physical advantage and this tactical idea would be effective. It was already the 65th minute, but the Manchester United players seemed to show no signs of physical exhaustion.

After the restart, Liverpool continued the high-pressure defensive tactics in the midfield and did not press high.

Manchester United also carefully positioned their formation slightly backward. Seeing that Liverpool did not press forward, they reached out and competed with the opponent for control of the midfield.

Klopp wanted to lure the snake out of its hole. He felt that Sun Wu had an extremely strong desire to win this game.

Sun Wu vaguely guessed what Uncle Zha was thinking. Instead of rushing to attack, he asked Coleman and Pavard to retreat on the wings, and asked Griezmann to close the distance between him and himself.

Sun Wu wanted to gain control of the midfield, while Klopp's high-pressure defense tried to counterattack on the spot after destroying the steal. For a while, the midfield was ignited with flames of war, and people could be seen everywhere.

Prior to this, both sides had only received 4 yellow cards in total, namely Kanter, Phil Jones, Piszczek and Nzonzi, exactly two on each side.

But in just a few minutes, referee Atkinson had to frequently take out yellow cards.

In the 67th minute, Coleman fiercely tackled Depay and received a yellow card.

In the 69th minute, Robertson retaliated by uprooting Coleman and also received a yellow card.

In the 71st minute, Henderson and Fabinho were facing each other in the midfield. The two men with dirty hands fell to the ground at the same time. As a result, both of them received yellow cards.

In the 72nd minute, Griezmann retreated to get the ball and broke through Henderson and staged a clumsy dive and received a yellow card. Lovren was also given a yellow card for his attack on Griezmann.

In the 74th minute, Sun Wu took the ball on the right and got rid of Gotze. The latter stretched out his hand to drag Sun Wu and also received a yellow card.

In just 7 minutes, Atkinson showed 7 yellow cards, an average of one per minute.

Zhan Jun noticed this pattern, "It's the 75th minute... Fortunately, I finally didn't play the card this time. The head coaches of both sides will see if they need to make substitutions."

"Lallana and Shinji Kagawa are both on the sidelines. Klopp is adjusting the offensive line." Zhang Lu said with a smile: "Manchester United has the same idea. Salah and Harry Kane are also standing on the sidelines preparing to play."

"Both sides will come up with their last resort..." Zhan Jun suddenly raised his voice in the middle of speaking,

"Wait a minute, this is..."

"Beep!"

A sharp whistle sounded on the field. Fabinho stood beside Henderson aggrievedly. The Liverpool captain covered his forehead and rolled in pain.

A burst of violent boos erupted from the KOP stands, along with all kinds of unpleasant insults.

"Oh, this is the second elbow in this game." Mortensen smacked his lips and wanted to say something else, but Gerrard interrupted.

"There is no doubt that this is a serious foul, at least a red card!" Gerrard was filled with indignation. "Look at Henderson's head, there must be bleeding!"

At this time, the live broadcaster gave a close-up shot of Henderson who was barely helped up. It was obvious that there was no bleeding.

Gerrard paused and continued without changing his tone: "Okay, the red card is too much, so let's give it a yellow card..."

Mortensen twitched the corner of his mouth, Fabinho had already received a yellow card...

However, a yellow card is justified because N'Zonzi's elbow on Bernardo Silva was also a yellow card.

As Fabinho walked into the tunnel, applause lingered over Anfield. Ferguson in the stands rubbed his red nose, and he was considering whether to leave the field early...

Klopp was very excited, quite excited, but also very cautious. He first replaced Depay with Shinji Kagawa. He hoped that the tacit understanding between the Japanese and Gotze would help the team take the lead again, but Klopp kept two He had only one substitution available, and he didn't feel at ease.

Sun Wu was also helpless. Fabinho was sent off just half an hour after he came on. Now Manchester United has to consider how not to concede the ball.

There was no need for Sun Wu to explain. Mike Phelan rushed Herrera, Pavard, and Luke Shaw from the bench to warm up. Harry Kane and Salah, who were about to come on, were a little unhappy, but they also knew that this was the case. There is nothing we can do about it.

After the restart, Liverpool began to press hard. The advantage of one more player gave them this confidence. Manchester United, who had one less player, had to let Sun Wu retreat again.

Klopp on the sidelines waved his fist and shouted for Robertson and Piszczek to press on, while the Liverpool fans in the stands sang in unison.

But only half a minute later, the singing in the stands turned into boos, and Klopp on the sidelines was as weak as an eggplant without thinking.

In the 77th minute, under Kante's close pressure, Coutinho was forced to send a return pass, but Sun Wu accurately predicted the interception halfway.

"Oh, Best steals the ball!"

"Manchester United's counterattack is coming... Best didn't pass the ball... he turned around smartly and got rid of Henderson!"

"Foul, too bad, Nzonzi knocked down Best!"

"This is a fake fall, a fake fall!" Gerald's roar suddenly sounded, "I swear, this is definitely a fake fall!"

Although Gerrard did not see it clearly, he did not hesitate to judge that Sun Wu was diving.

And on the field, Coutinho, Gotze, Henderson... In short, these "old friends" of Sun Wu's Double Red Club, whether they saw it clearly or not, they all rushed towards the referee!

"Fake, this is a fake, sir, you understand!"

"Remember last year's Champions League final? That's how Alba got the yellow card!"

The most angry one among them was the usually gentle and elegant Gotze. He rushed up to hold Sun Wu's head in his arms, "Best, you damn..."

Sun Wu immediately looked up to the sky and fell onto the lawn again as if he was electrocuted.

"Get away!" Griezmann pushed Gotze away.

A third of the crowd surrounding the referee immediately ran over to help. Van Dijk and Matip, Alderweireld and Lovren, Falcao and Firmino... well, they were quite matched up. of.

Mike Phelan, who was on the sidelines, looked at this scene and couldn't help but nodded, okay, this is the normal situation of the Double Red Club. I was a little bit unaccustomed to it in the first half!

This scene was, well, very familiar to Klopp, very familiar... He couldn't help but loudly asked the Liverpool players not to be fooled.

Riots are commonplace for the Double Red Club, and they are also normal for Sun Wu. He sat on the lawn with his head down and didn't care what happened above him... Anyway, he had long emphasized in the locker room that no matter what the situation If there is a riot, anyone with a yellow card will not be allowed to participate.

Three minutes later, the riot finally subsided, but the riot in the stands was a bit loud. The boundary between the fans from both sides was separated by riot police with shields. One Liverpool fan even rushed into the field and was finally beaten by two German black men. Back blocked...

Then Atkinson began to deal the cards... Klopp on the sidelines and Gerrard in the commentary box were sighing. Why do these guys have such no memory? They couldn't control their temper when they met Best.

"Nzonzi got two yellows and one red and was sent off, and then Griezmann, Gotze, Coutinho, and Robertson also got a yellow card each." Zhan Jun looked at the screen carefully, "Liverpool suffered a bit... "

"Of course it's a loss. Regardless of the yellow card, it's 10 against 10 now." Zhang Lu regained confidence, "With about 15 minutes of stoppage time, Manchester United still has a chance to win 19 consecutive victories!"

Ferguson, who was about to leave in the stands, sat down again. He touched his red nose and thought about what Best would do next.
