Chapter 727: Another Red Card
Listening to Parde's words, it makes people feel as if he wants to play against Liverpool, but fans who are familiar with the Premier League know that Pardew is a manager of the Premier League's old-school play, he emphasizes physical confrontation and mental will, and his attainments in tactical changes are not much.
If he goes to a big club, Pardu will not change his style at all, and there is no great chance of leading the team well.
So what Padu says before the game doesn't matter to Klopp, he knows that just like the league, the FA Cup is going to be another tough battle.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, Crystal Palace began to defend, of course, Pardew's defensive arrangement is still quite layered, strengthening the confrontation between the midfield and Liverpool, and the two strikers in front of them have a large range of wandering, constantly harassing Liverpool's backline.
Coaches like them are very particular about looking at the referee's face, including in the league is also a reasonable look at the referee's scale, to put it bluntly, the opponent is very much with the body, with the body to make up for their team's lack of technology and tactics, when the body is almost used, the referee keeps giving warnings, they also know that they have converged, and began to use the defensive density to make a fuss.
Anyway, with the scale of the Premier League, it is basically beneficial to a team like them that is good at using their bodies, grinding, if they can steal a goal from the opponent during this period, it will be better, there is no draw with a strong team, and a point is earned.
If it is against a team of the same level, or weaker than themselves in strength, their formation will be more pressed, but the offensive tactics are nothing like playing against strong teams, simple and rude, you come and go, so the good look of the Premier League game is that these middle and lower teams often come and go to attack very lively, but limited by their ability to create opportunities and seize opportunities is not strong, so they rarely see big scores.
Pardew played the calculation today, if he can drag Liverpool to the penalty shootout, it will also be a victory, of course, if he can take advantage of Liverpool's loophole and score a goal in addition to defense, it will be more wonderful.
Played for half an hour, entering the end of the first half, Crystal Palace had no way to use their body, and some time ago, because the formation was slightly tested, Liverpool got 3 golden opportunities, all of which took advantage of the gap between the Crystal Palace midfielder and the defenders, they still lacked in the overall movement, at this time Pardew had to recycle the formation more powerfully, Liverpool had to fight a tough battle, Crystal Palace's attack today was very unsuccessful, on the one hand, their strikers looked in poor condition, on the other hand, Liverpool did not score, but the midfield was in very good shape, Kante and Emrejan's interception level was relatively highCrystal Palace's pass is difficult to strangle through their combination.
Jurgen Klopp was annoyed on the sidelines, Liverpool created chances in front of them, and they were good chances, but they just didn't score, and now that the Crystal Palace formation has contracted tighter, it is not so easy for Liverpool to create chances.
His predictions were being put to life on the pitch, with Liverpool struggling to create chances at first, with Crystal Palace's forward line not in great shape, but their defenders were in good shape at the moment, with two penetrating passes from Zhang Yuan on the flank being disrupted by their defenders first.
And today's referee Clattenburg is suspected of playing against Liverpool, several Liverpool players tried to create a foul on the edge of the penalty area, and Clattenburg did not make a decision in favor of Liverpool.
In the 41st minute, Zhang Yuan passed the ball in the right ribs, Firmino snuggled on Dahn to catch the ball, and was dragged to the ground by Dahn, comparable to wrestling sports, Clattenburg turned a blind eye to the foul in the Crystal Palace's break, and Zhang Yuan's anger burned.
"Hey! It's not a foul to pull so fuckingly?!" As the captain on the field, Zhang Yuan rushed towards Clattenberg angrily.
At this time, the ball was still running at the feet of Crystal Palace, until Crystal Palace's attack ended with a ridiculously poor long-range shot, Zhang Yuan still chased Clattenburg and chattered, there is no doubt that Zhang Yuan's actions angered Clattenburg, this guy didn't even warn him, without a superfluous word, he directly gave Zhang Yuan a yellow card.
Klopp yelled on the sidelines, the word black whistle was hidden in his stomach, and he was almost about to come out of his stomach, and the fourth official faced Klopp's accusations and persuaded him to calm down.
The Liverpool fans who came to Wembley immediately gave Clattenburg a huge boo, and Clattenburg was also a person with a big heart and was unmoved.
I don't know if it affected the mood of the Liverpool players, but in the next few minutes they made frequent mistakes, but Palace instead made a few good shots on goal, just in the space of a few minutes.
Just as Palace's attack was improving, the half-time whistle blew, and Crystal Palace's good momentum could only be interrupted in this way, and Pardew looked regretful, if only five more minutes would have been great.
Zhang Yuan's mood is not happy, he is angry with Clattenburg, and he talked to Clattenburg when he left the game, Clattenburg said that he is the Premier League, I have my own standard of punishment, no one can question my authority on the field, I have my own standard, I am not partial to either of you.
At halftime, Klopp and Liverpool's teammates persuaded Zhang Yuan to calm down, and now it seems that Zhang Yuan is still angry and angry, which is obviously not the correct ideological attitude.
After the start of the second half, Zhang Yuan's several defensive moves were also relatively large, and Clattenburg warned him, Zhang Yuan ridiculed him and said: "You are watching our movements with colored glasses! Any action we make is a foul!"
This sentence made Clattenberg a little unbearable, completely enraged, in the face of Zhang Yuan's ridicule, he didn't say anything, but in his heart, this account was counted on Zhang Yuan.
In the 64th minute, Clattenburg finally got the opportunity, Zhang Yuan was cut off with the ball in front, he turned back and rebounded in the process, deliberately pulled down Jedinak, Clattenburg did not hesitate to show Zhang Yuan a second yellow card, two yellows and one red were sent off, and at this time Liverpool did not score a point, which is facing the situation of one less person to fight.
Klopp was stunned by Zhang Yuan on the sidelines, in his opinion, Zhang Yuan has always been a calmer player, and he will not make such a mistake, but why is Zhang Yuan so irritable today?
Zhang Yuan on the court, hehe, smiled, gave Clattenburg a thumbs up, still not satisfied, and applauded him, no matter how he provoked the referee, what kind of punishment he would get afterwards, this ball was going to end anyway.
The rest of the time Liverpool also had to face Crystal Palace with ten people, eleven people want to suppress Crystal Palace is easy, ten people may not be so easy, Crystal Palace's manager Pardew seems to see the FA Cup beckoning to him, and then he made a move, began to force out, trying to besiege Liverpool, I have to say that his decision still requires a lot of courage, after all, this is the final, a little careless will be scored by Liverpool.
Experienced does not mean that there are no faint moves, Pardu made a stupid move, Klopp does anything, he will calculate, immediately let the team with one less person recycle, replace Firmino, and put Sturridge, Coutinho and Firmino are not speed strikers, but Sturridge can be called a speed striker, he is more suitable for such a counterattack.
Pardew soon paid the price for his recklessness, in the 75th minute, Crystal Palace failed to attack, and was played a quick counterattack by Liverpool, Alli and Coutinho played a wonderful midfield one-two, to the edge of the penalty area, and then straight to the goal, Sturridge, who was successful in the anti-offside position, scored from a small angle, so that Liverpool, who had the advantage in terms of statistics, finally took the lead.
Zhang Yuan also regretted a little after getting off the field, he also secretly scolded himself for taking the wrong medicine today, always going to fight against Clattenburg, and then saw Sturridge's goal in the locker room, and he was also relieved, if the team lost this final, he would definitely not be able to forgive himself!
