Chapter 0080: Red Dot Package

Liverpool kept the home team Manchester United at bay, and their attack was wave after wave, and it looked like they could score at any moment, which made the commentators in the commentary area very excited for a while.

It is said that it is not a big deal to watch the excitement, and it is said that people will subconsciously sympathize with the weak, and today's Liverpool is undoubtedly in a weak position in the eyes of outsiders. Add to that the fact that if they score, it will certainly irritate Manchester United and change the intensity of the game on the pitch.

However, the would-be commentators were disappointed as it was United who doubled the lead before Liverpool could score.

After a period of hard play, Liverpool's fitness reached a limit, and Manchester United took advantage of the opportunity to launch a powerful counter-attack.

Fellaini cut off Lallana's pass at the back and passed to Blind next to him, who broke through with the ball and split it quickly.

After Juan Mata won the ball, he pretended to break through and suddenly split sides.

Lingard used his speed to force a breakthrough, attracting Liverpool full-back Klein to intercept and then make a sudden stop to return the ball.

Juan Mata received Jesse Lingard's return pass and immediately played diagonally.

Anthony Martial made a gesture to stop the ball but when the ball rolled on, he turned slightly sideways and slipped the ball through, and Marcus Rashford was seen at the back post.

Marcus Rashford brushed the ball and then cut inside straight towards goal.

………………

Liverpool's counter-attack against Manchester United was clearly ill-prepared, and Rashford's inside cut was so resolute that he didn't have a defender by his side.

"Stop him!" Jurgen Klopp roared from the sidelines, he couldn't let Rashford score again, and Liverpool would be in complete despair if they conceded again.

Sako pounced on Rashford, and the Liverpool centre-back's expression was extremely resolute, even tragic.

Marcus Rashford burst into the box with the ball and just as he was about to shoot, Sako caught up and made a tackle from behind, which Rashford fell to the ground.

Referee Matic, without the slightest hesitation, blew his whistle and pointed directly to the penalty spot, and at the same time walked towards Sako, holding a card in his hand, the color of which was red.

"Penalty! Red! Referee Matic: Matic, awarded a penalty and showed Sako a red card! ”

"Red Dot Package! Liverpool suffered a major blow. ”

……

Liverpool's players were stunned, Manchester United's attack was too sudden, and the penalty and red card came too quickly, and they were a little unprepared.

Liverpool players then surrounded referee Majic for an explanation, protesting that Rashford had faked a fall.

Jurgen Klopp was even more furious, roaring at the fourth official on the sidelines, but his protest did not win a reversal of the sentence, but instead "earned" him a lot of boos in the stands.

On the pitch, Rashford was high-fived and hugged his team-mates in celebration, he didn't mean to take a penalty, it was a great chance to score, and he didn't have to cheat a penalty.

However, Sako's foul, now the penalty and red card effect is even better, which is even more severe than a goal for the Liverpudlians, provided that the penalty can be scored.

The referee's expression was serious, and he sternly warned Coutinho, the core of the Liverpool midfield, who was most protesting, that this was already merciful, knowing that Coutinho had a yellow card on him, and if the referee Matic was more severe, he could have shown another yellow card to the emotional Coutinho.

Sacco had a sad expression, and when he made the tackle, he knew that this was the result. He silently glanced at his own goal, then walked off the field.

He had done his best to stop Marcus Rashford's shot at the most brutal cost, although he also knew that his red card was only a delay in Liverpool's death sentence if he was awarded a penalty, but maybe Mignolet could save the penalty?

Maybe there is a miracle?

If it were to happen again, Sacco would not hesitate to do so.

………………

Amid the boos of the United fans and the sad applause of the Liverpool fans, Sako left the pitch and walked straight to the players' corridor.

At this point, referee Matic, who ran to the sidelines, ran to Klopp, who was engaged in a heated verbal altercation with the fourth official, and Matics pointed to the stands.

"Jurgen Klopp was sent to the stands! It's a double whammy for Liverpool! ”

'A man was sent off, a penalty, the manager was sent off, and even though there were about 10 minutes left in the game, we are now almost certain that Manchester United will be able to qualify, and of course, if this penalty is scored, it will be over early.

While the commentators were talking, Rashford stepped up to the penalty spot.

Mignolet was in full swing, his expression nervous.

Referee Matic, who pulled back into the box, then blew the whistle after glancing at the penalty taker and the goalkeeper.

Marcus Rashford runs, shoots!

Mignolet misjudged the direction and pounced on his left side, while Marcus Rashford opted for a volley into the top left corner.

The ball is in!

………………

Marcus Rashford's goal sent Liverpool to hell and everyone knew what the outcome would be.

The camera locks on to Klopp in the stands, where the German stands, looking somewhat lonely.

Manchester United fans will not bother with the pain of their sworn enemies, they are cheering, they are already celebrating the promotion of the team in advance.

Two minutes later, United made a substitution, with Piggy Schweinsteiger coming on for Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial being put up in attack.

Louis van Gaal is already in the driver's seat for the Manchester derby at the weekend. Now that the big picture is settled, Van Gaal hastened to replace Rashford to avoid surprises.

The stands at Old Trafford erupted in applause, with more than 70,000 United fans standing up to applaud the outstanding performance of their own academy talents.

All Manchester United fans are well aware of Marcus Rashford's role in the team's progress to the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

In the two legs against their bitter rivals, Manchester United scored a total of five goals, while Rashford's statistic is four goals and one assist, that is, all five goals were directly involved in him.

In such a situation, without Rashford, I am afraid Manchester United would have been eliminated from the competition.

Counting today's first-half goals, Rashford's tally in the Europa League has reached 8, and he is the top scorer in the Europa League.

That's a horrible statistic, considering that Rashford has only played three games.

It seems that the top scorer in this year's Europa League is basically in Rashford's pocket. After all, with United in the run, Rashford has at least two games left to play.

……………………………………………………………………

Staying up late to watch the derby, some words are simply heartache.

The performance of this Manchester United team can only be described in one word: despair.

Although the team played some momentum in the middle of the second half, but as far as the whole game is concerned, the performance of the Manchester United players can only be described as, looking at the performance of a few steps, slow and gentle, I really want to rush to the scene and slash people.

I really don't understand how such a bunch of players can deserve the highest total salary in the Premier League!

Not to mention the technique or anything, I feel that the passing and dribbling ability of the whole team is passable, and even the basic professional attitude is a problem.

A few years of sinking have already worn out the blood of the players, not to mention the demonic nature of the old lord.

Where is the hope for the revival of the Red Devils?
