Chapter 985 Red Card
Zhang Yuan lowered his head and sat on his bench drinking water. He agreed with Klopp's criticism. The fighting spirit shown by everyone seems to be not at the same level as Manchester United. This is very bad, we can't let Manchester United do this.

After Klopp roared, he said half with encouragement: "We need to play many games every season. If we want to succeed, we must persevere and maintain a strong will to fight in every game, no matter the opponent is Manchester United. Or other opponents, today is not a championship game, but it is better than a championship game, this is an important game, a game worth six points, we can leave them far away, I think none of you are cowards, you can Do it, be able to equalize the goddamn score and overtake them! Damn can I trust you guys?! I need a win and you need a win to prove we don't fear them and you can't be alone Two losses on them this season!"

The players were aroused a lot by Klopp's words. The most infuriating thing was about Manchester United. Liverpool had already lost a game. The players really didn't want to lose this game!

Everyone who wears a Liverpool shirt has this shame, it's really shameful to lose two Clasicos in one season.

The fighting spirit of the players was mobilized by Klopp. Those who should drink water should drink water, and those who should replenish a little energy should replenish a little energy. Klopp began to arrange the tactics for the second half. Substitution is a must. Because there is only Zhang Yuan in the frontcourt A high point was constrained everywhere, so Klopp's first substitution was to replace Sterling with Sturridge. Sterling had speed and breakthroughs, but his passing skills were not good, while the other side The current Coutinho not only has breakthroughs but also has better passing skills.

The second substitution is to replace Joe Allen with Gerrard. Joe Allen's confrontation ability is too poor. Today, Liverpool's loss in midfield has a lot to do with Joe Allen's downturn. Gerald Although Germany is not very popular with Klopp, there should be no problem playing halftime.

Gerrard also has long-range shooting skills and a good sense of long-term scheduling. This may be more useful for Liverpool who are at a disadvantage. Klopp no ​​longer takes it lightly this time. He began to correctly examine everything about Manchester United. He calculated the second half Based on the situation on the field, a series of targeted arrangements were made.

When Klopp finished his tactical adjustments and the players had a short rest, Zhang Yuan took advantage of this time to get to Gerrard's side and handed the captain's armband to Gerrard.

"It's better for you to wear it, it's also very good!" Gerrard declined.

"No, you are our captain. Since you are on the court, you should take this responsibility. I am Alexander!" Zhang Yuan laughed exaggeratedly.

Having said that, Gerrard is still very clear about Zhang Yuan's thoughts, probably this is his last double red meeting, and he hopes that I will complete this game as the captain!

While the fans were waiting anxiously, Atkinson finally blew the whistle to start the second half. Liverpool kicked off the ball first. Get ready for a long pass.

Herrera's attack was very fast, he flew down to shovel, Gerrard couldn't dodge, Herrera not only intercepted the ball, but also tackled Gerrard, there is no doubt that this is a very good game Dangerous moves, Atkinson's whistle also blew and Herrera was ruled fouled.

Gerrard was very dissatisfied with the penalty. Herrera's action should have received a yellow card, but Atkinson didn't say anything. He asked Atkinson loudly, and Atkinson just kept waving his hands.

This made Gerrard furious, and he stared fiercely at Herrera, who was still complaining to Atkinson. Herrera moved exaggeratedly, holding his head in his hands, his eyes were round and round, and he had an unbelievable expression. Is my ball a foul? !I just tackled the ball first!

He didn't know that his action had already made Gerrard very angry. In Gerrard's view, Herrera didn't mean to repent at all. Gerrard secretly made up his mind to give this fledgling Spaniard some color. have a look.

Dozens of seconds later, the tragedy happened. Gerrard and Herrera met again, this time to compete for the possession of a ball. Herrera was faster and stabbed the ball out first. And Gerrard, who was extremely disliked by Herrera, didn't mean to stop his feet at all, and stepped directly on Herrera's instep.

Immediately after Herrera fell to the ground, she covered her instep and screamed.

After Gerrard really vented, he regretted it. Atkinson would not give him a chance to repent. Facing the Manchester United players who surrounded him, Atkinson walked up to Gerrard and showed Gerrard affirmatively. Red card, malicious foul directly red card end!

Gerrard's expression was extremely ugly. He knew that he deserved what he deserved, and his mind was full of remorse, but he didn't say anything. The Manchester United players originally wanted to make good gestures with Atkinson and said, who knows that Art Jin Sen gave Gerrard a red card so simply and neatly, which made them stop talking and silently care about their teammates.

Zhang Yuan stood 20 meters away. He could see Gerrard's movements very clearly. He didn't understand this. He couldn't understand why Gerrard was so impulsive. Doesn't he know that we are missing one person now? !

However, if you don't understand it, you don't understand it. Zhang Yuan rushed to the scene immediately and expressed doubts about Atkinson's red card.

"This is considered a foul, but Steve definitely didn't do it intentionally. It wasn't malicious. He just couldn't hold his feet. It wasn't intentional! The penalty for a red card is too heavy!" Zhang Yuan put his hands together. Argue for Gerrard.

"He did it on purpose, that's clear! He was dissatisfied with my penalty just now! Well, Herrera's previous tackle was a foul, but he obviously restrained his feet, and this time is different, Gerrard is a vengeful tackle!" Atkinson concluded for Gerrard.

Atkinson's explanation left Zhang Yuan speechless. The referee is the supervisor on the court. He will judge a penalty according to his own opinion. It is difficult for these players to shake the referee's opinion. The current situation is what Zhang Yuan wants to do. It doesn't matter, the important thing is that Atkinson thinks Gerrard is an intentional revenge foul this time.

38 seconds, this is the time for Gerrard to play, Klopp would never have thought that Gerrard played under his expectations, but automatically applied for a red card so quickly, when Gerrard passed by Klopp At the time, Klopp did not look at Gerrard. He was full of anger at Gerrard's behavior at the moment. He didn't think it was forgivable. There are many ways to get a red card, but Gerrard who applied for a red card The method extremely disapproved of Klopp.

Gerrard knew that he had let down his teammates, let down the head coach, and let down the fans at the scene. He lowered his head, not seeing everything around him, and walked towards the player tunnel with a gloomy expression.

Van Gaal was overjoyed, Herrera was indeed injured, but he returned to the court soon after treatment, and Manchester United now has one more person, which is a very important advantage, what he needs now is to take advantage of this advantage good.

In the 55th minute, Van Gaal made his first substitution, allowing Di Maria to replace Ashley Young. This was a counter-substitution.

Zhang Yuan couldn't be more clear about Di Maria's level. Like him, he was a direct descendant of Mourinho in Real Madrid, but he is different from Zhang Yuan. Di Maria is not, he was sold by Real Madrid on his own initiative, and it should probably be a matter of economic interests.

After Di Maria came to Manchester United, he performed very well at the beginning, in line with the value of Manchester United's most expensive signing, but when he was in good condition, he was injured, and the injury recovered, and Van Gaal's trust in him plummeted. In the last game against Tottenham, he didn't get a minute of playing time, and he continued to stay on the bench in this game. Van Gaal finally thought of him in the case of Ashley Young's single means, and wanted to use him to strengthen the offense .
