Chapter 1023 I laughed
When the players from both sides walked out of the locker room at the same time and met in the player tunnel, Klopp looked carefully with flickering eyes. Well, Manchester United did not make a substitution. His eyes turned and he happened to bump into Sun Wu who was doing the same thing.

Sun Wu coughed twice and slowed down, Klopp hesitated and slowed down, and the two fell to the back.

"Jurgen, you already won the FA Cup last season."

"Guardiola also won the League Cup three times in a row."

Sun Wu choked, "Manchester United's physical fitness will not be a disadvantage."

"Well, but there are still two double-red games in the future." Klopp nodded, "So I don't want it either."

Sun Wu breathed a sigh of relief and quickened his pace. As long as this point is unified, it will be fatal if the semi-finals are tied and then a rematch.

Klopp also quickened his pace, and suddenly approached and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with Falcao?"

"I'm sick, I have a bad cold." Sun Wu replied sincerely.

Klopp froze for a moment and asked again: "What about Harry Kane?"

"There is an injury. Although the injury is not serious, let him sit on the bench to be on the safe side."

Klopp glanced at Sun Wu suspiciously, and it was clearly written on his face... I don't believe it!

Can’t blame Klopp for being suspicious. Harry Kane’s entry into the squad shows that his physical condition meets the playing standards. Griezmann’s performance in the first half is obvious to all. He never believes that Sun Wu can’t see it, but why? Griezmann hasn't been substituted yet?
Sun Wu rolled his eyes speechlessly. These days, when an honest person like me speaks the truth, no one would believe me!

In this world, people's hearts are not ancient!
……

"Both sides didn't make substitutions. Sun Wu and Klopp both chose to stop silently in such a critical game." Halfway through Zhan Jun's speech, the live broadcaster gave a close-up shot of Harry Kane on the bench, and then Gave Griezmann a shot.

"Harry Kane has not played for two consecutive games. He played well against Bayern Munich." Zhang Lu was a little puzzled, "Did he get injured?"

In fact, Sun Wu really didn't lie before. Although Harry Kane's injury has recovered, Dr. Swell strongly recommends not to let him play, otherwise there is a high chance that the old injury will recur in the last few games of the season.

The system points in Sun Wu's hands are already pitifully small, and he really doesn't want to use a medical card for Harry Kane, which makes Griezmann the only candidate for the center forward.

"Okay, the second half of the game has officially started." Zhan Jun paused slightly, "Firmino passed the ball directly to Bailey on the back line... Bailly made a long pass..."

"It's the same old routine from the first half." Zhang Lu bared his teeth.

Manchester United and Liverpool are well-known teams in the Premier League and even in Europe with strong attacking power and beautiful playing style. Today's performance is really surprising.

The situation in the second half was basically inherited from the first half, with high-intensity pressing in the midfield, and the four defensive midfielders were still the protagonists. After getting the ball, they seldom pass back.

Both sides are carrying out oppressive defense, hoping to quickly find the loopholes in the opponent's defense after stealing the ball in midfield or take advantage of the possible mistakes and misplacements of the opponent's defender.

The reason is very simple. Both sides have deployed heavy troops on defense, passing the ball back to reorganize, it is difficult to find and take advantage of the gap in the opponent's defense.

However, Sun Wu keenly noticed that compared with the first half, Liverpool left back Robertson began to advance more times, while the right back Piszczek on the other side reduced the number of forward advances.

Sun Wu glanced at Mike Phelan on the sidelines, hesitated for a while, stretched out his hand and pressed down to make a motionless gesture.

"Today's Double Red will have too many accidents, no goals, no penalties..." Zhan Jun said with a little regret: "Even so far, there are no yellow cards... eh?!"

The corner of Zhang Lu's mouth twitched, this guy is really a crow's mouth!

In the 58th minute, Henderson and Fabinho came to the opposite foot in the midfield to make the spectators grin. Ankle.

This kind of pairing is so normal in the game. It is so normal that Henderson and Fabinho have no complaints. Moreover, both sides are heavily deployed in the midfield today, so the possibility of collision is very high.

But Piszczek, who was closest to the incident, jumped out and complained to the referee who ran over for Fabinho's foul.

Lucas, who was running over, got angry and rushed to the front of the referee, staring at Piszczek. The Polish defender didn't stop.

Sun Wu watched from the sidelines... I laughed, what is this?
To use an inappropriate example, it's like Zhang Guoshi watching Director Bi's movie in the cinema...

Piszczek's clever performance this time can be called a textbook, but unfortunately it is a negative example...

Not to mention Sun Wu laughed, even the referee Atkinson laughed, but the problem is that other people didn't laugh.

Seeing Piszczek fall to the ground from a distance, Coutinho, Firmino, Depay, and Robertson ran over one after another, because the angry Lucas was mad at the Polish defender on the ground.

Seeing that Lucas was besieged, Manchester United players also surrounded them, and the scene immediately became commotion.

The boos grew louder in the stands, and Mortensen laughed and said: "This is the double red game. No goals, at least there must be riots."

Klopp on the sidelines frowned and scolded Piszczek in his heart. How many times before the game, he told him to try not to cause trouble. Uncle Zha knew very well that if there was any disturbance, Sun Wu would probably benefit from it.

This is the experience Klopp has learned through so many painful lessons.

So there was a commotion, and Klopp immediately went to find Sun Wu...uh, where did he go?Why can't I find it! ?
The assistant coach on the side pushed Klopp, and the corner of his mouth was crooked. The latter took advantage of the situation and found that Sun Wu ran to the sidelines and was discussing something with the assistant coach.

"Substitution now?" Mike Phelan frowned and said, "It won't take much advantage if we fight like this."

Sun Wu shook his head first, then nodded again.

Shaking his head to indicate that there will be no substitutions for the time being, he nodded to agree with Mike Phelan's point of view.

Today, Sun Wu runs up and down very frequently, but he has not been able to create any good opportunities. On the one hand, because of the outstanding performance of Henderson and Nzonzi, Coutinho will come back to harass the defense. On the other hand It is also because of Manchester United's double defensive midfielder, Kanter and Fabinho are lackluster in offense. The latter has scheduling ability, but has little chance to perform in positional offense.

Substitution is certain. The reason for not substituting for the time being is because Sun Wu wants to see what cards Klopp will play.

But soon, Sun Wu had to be replaced.

After the rioting subsided, Piszczek received a yellow card and Klopp immediately replaced the Pole with Alexander-Arnold.

Three minutes later, it was Arnold's active forward thrust and sudden inward cut that lured Fabinho into a shovel foul, and Brazil's midfielder twisted to the ankle that was injured just now.

In the 63rd minute, Manchester United used up the first substitution.

In such an important key game, Sun Wu did not choose Herrera, Milner, or Lingard, but chose Darren Fletcher, the only veteran other than De Gea during the Ferguson period.
