Chapter 111: Substitution Adjustment

Shrill boos rang out from the stands.

The camera was always on referee Atkinson.

Obviously, Atkinson's two consecutive penalties are debatable.

Li Qingshan spread his arms and shook his head helplessly, if the ball hadn't been blown off, he would have been able to shoot directly!

Herrera rushed up and loudly confronted Lovren, "You're faking a fall!!! ”

Lovren shook off the fingers that Ere stretched towards him with one hand, and sneered: "This is England, Spaniards!!" ”

England fans are fond of mocking Spain's style of football, saying they are "sissy" who like to fake falls and juggle.

Once again, the players of both sides were on the bar because of the decision.

"Look at the slow motion of the replay..... Ahhhh......h Lovren, this is obviously touching porcelain, he himself hit Li Qingshan's arm!! Duan Xuan said regretfully in the commentary seat.

"It's a pity that such a great opportunity was stifled by the referee!"

Ancelotti was also very dissatisfied, he went directly to the fourth official, and pointed to the big screen at the top of the stadium: "Look, look!!" Twice, they've used fake falls twice to make a profit!! ”

The fourth official also did not comment on this, he is not the referee, and he can only warn Ancelotti to watch out for his words.

Atkinson also saw a video replay from the big screen and when he had separated the players, he called the captains of both teams to his side.

"Keep your players' emotions under control!!" Atkinson said.

Li Qingshan didn't buy it: "Twice, twice, sir!" They've already taken advantage of fake falls twice!! ”

"It's up to me to judge whether it's a fake fall or not!!" Atkinson waved his arm and said forcefully.

Even though Atkinson knew that he had made a mistake in the penalty, in order to maintain his authority, he still refuted Li Qingshan very strongly.

Li Qingshan could only turn around and leave helplessly, and the referee had absolute power on the football field.

Atkinson continued to say to Henderson: "Don't think about doing this little gesture anymore, there's no good in challenging me!! ”

Henderson, knowing that he had taken advantage, raised his hands: "Understood, understood, sir!" ”

Atkinson gave Henderson a warning before blowing the whistle to signal the game to resume.

The England referee, who has a lot of experience, squinted at Milner and Lovren.

Dare to fool me?!

Atkinson had these two men in mind.

However, in the next game, Liverpool also knew that the referee had taken care of them, so they didn't dare to touch porcelain again.

The attacking tempo on United's side also seemed to be affected by the two fouls that were blown off, at least the mentality of the players began to get impatient.

In the 58th minute, Di Maria tried to get down after winning the ball on the left wing, but Klein followed closely and Di Maria couldn't find space for a cross.

And Di Maria, who was a little anxious, chose to force a cross, but the football was blocked by Klein, and it bounced on Di Maria's feet and went out of the bottom line!!

There was a sigh in the stands, and it seemed that Manchester United's attack had a bit of a problem during this time.

Carlo Ancelotti has seen the phenomenon as well, and one thing that cannot be ignored is that United have not had a shot on goal for several minutes!

As soon as Carlo Ancelotti thought about it, Manchester United came with a shot on goal.

Pogba's long-range shot from outside the box flew over the crossbar.

The players are in a hurry!

Carlo Ancelotti looked at the time, it was now 60 minutes into the game, and the leading side was still Liverpool, while Manchester United seemed to have a psychological fluctuation because of two consecutive misjudgments.

It's time for a substitution.

Carlo Ancelotti looked to the bench.

"Rush!! Go warm up !!! ”

Marcus Rashford, who was on the bench, had been waiting for his chance to play for a long time, and he knew that if there was a problem with the team's attack, he would have a chance to play!!

Marcus Rashford immediately put on his vest and ran to the sidelines.

"Carlo Ancelotti is going to make substitutions, and now it's really time to make substitutions, Liverpool are used to Manchester United's attacking rhythm, and Ancelotti needs to make some changes in the attacking line!"

Marcus Rashford is Manchester United's homegrown academy player, and Manchester United fans are very fond of their own academy products. So when Rashford got up from the bench to warm up, there was cheers and applause from the stands.

Jurgen Klopp looked at Marcus Rashford, who had come out to warm up, and Carlo Ancelotti was about to make a substitution.

Jurgen Klopp was wary of this, and he looked at his bench.

"Emrejan also came out to warm up!!" Andy Gray said, "Carlo Ancelotti is ready to change attackers, and Klopp is immediately changing a midfielder to strengthen the midfield!!" ”

The substitutions were made quickly, with Marcus Rashford coming on for Di Maria and Emre Can for Roberto Firmino!!

The substitution calmed the United players a bit, with Marcus Rashford bringing Carlo Ancelotti's latest instructions.

"Now we're just one goal behind, there's still a long game to go, we can't lose patience!!"

However, after Rashford came on the pitch, he still played Di Maria's position, and Manchester United's formation did not change.

Liverpool, on the other hand, looked to continue to defend in central midfield, with Emre Can replacing Roberto Firmino and Jurgen Klopp allowing Coutinho to drop back a bit, leaving Sturridge up front.

In this way, Liverpool's formation became 451, with five players piled up in midfield, Lallana and Coutinho in front, and Henderson, Wijnaldum, and Emrejan in the back, forming two lines of defense in the midfield.

"Liverpool continue to strengthen their defence!! With about 30 minutes to go until the end of the game, it would be a little too early to replace a striker so early. Gerrard was a bit of a critic of Klopp's substitution.

"Jurgen Klopp changed his style a lot in this game, as if the current manager of Liverpool is not the German who is known for his passionate attack, but Mourinho......." Andy Gray complained.

"In their home stadium against Manchester United, Liverpool lost 1-8, came to the away side, and now there is a lack of Mane on the front line, Klopp will definitely not dare to continue to press the attack so much." Gary Neville understands Klopp's choice.

The information brought by Emrejan on the field made it clear to Liverpool's players that their game was to resolutely implement the defensive counterattack!!

Although Liverpool are now only defensive, the few counter-attacks are more like a harassment of the United defence.

But for the Liverpool players, after the big loss at home to their bitter rivals, what they hope more in this game is to be able to hold on to this two-to-one lead!!

Even Klopp thinks so, and it seems that a heart-wrenching defeat has made Klopp much more realistic.

The attacking manager also had to choose such a conservative tactic when facing Manchester United.
