Extraordinary coach

Both sides want to control the rhythm.

But to do so, they have to seize the initiative.

But from the current situation on the field, neither side can do it.

The only way to control the rhythm to meet their own requirements is when they have control of the ball.

When Southampton has control of the ball, the rhythm of the game will slow down. Even if Liverpool is desperately pressing, it is still the same.

Southampton also has the ability to pass and control the ball, and will not be easily taken away by others.

When it is Liverpool's turn to have control of the ball, the rhythm becomes relatively fast again.

This situation well reflects the situation and psychological state of both sides in the game.

The leading side must control the rhythm. The lagging side is eager to attack.

When both sides can overwhelm each other, the rhythm of the game is constantly switching back and forth.

For a while, the two sides were deadlocked, which made the fans nervous and made the game fierce again.

The fierce and stalemate situation has been going on, and time is constantly passing.

This is quite beneficial for Southampton. If they can return to the locker room with a one-goal lead, they will be in a better mental state to face the second half of the game.

And this is naturally not what Liverpool wants. They hope to score quickly and bring the two sides back to the same starting line quickly.

But Southampton's tenacious defense and rhythm control made Liverpool's attacking efforts always unable to score.

After a long time, the people of Liverpool became a little anxious. Under the encouragement of Klopp, the head coach who is impatient, Liverpool is not only anxious in attacking, but also more anxious in fighting.

Naturally, Liverpool's movements in fighting are a bit big. Bertrand, the full-back of Southampton, was roughly knocked to the ground by Emre Can, the midfielder of Liverpool.

Bertrand was very dissatisfied with this. After getting up, he pushed Emre Can in an emotional state. Then the two of them pushed and shoved and broke out into a conflict.

Fortunately, other people and the referee arrived in time and separated the two, which prevented the situation from developing further.

But the conflict between the two still made them pay a price. Both were warned by the referee with yellow cards.

But this made Bertrand very dissatisfied. He thought that it was okay for everyone to get a yellow card for the conflict. But what about Emre Can's rough foul against him before?

Doesn't this mean that Emre Can's rough foul was not punished?

So, Bertrand was very emotional. He wanted to explain to the referee very dissatisfiedly.

"Stop him and pull him away."

"Everyone go back to their respective positions."

Although Sun Yi was also dissatisfied with the referee's decision that Bertrand suffered a loss in essence, he didn't want Bertrand to be given a card again because of his entanglement.

In that case, Southampton will suffer a greater loss. And there is no reason to talk.

After listening to Sun Yi's words, the players immediately pulled Bertrand away. Van Dijk even put his arm around Bertrand's shoulders and led him away.

Seeing this, Sun Yi was temporarily relieved. But he felt that he still had to remind the players again.

"Everyone calm down. The advantage is on our side. They are anxious, but we are not. Don't be fooled by them."

"Remember, stay calm."

After shouting, Sun Yi turned around and complained to the fourth official. He said that Emre Can should be given a card for the foul.

The subsequent appeal was definitely useless. But Sun Yi knew that he had to put pressure on the referee. He had to find a way to protest to the referee team.

After doing all this, Sun Yi sat back on the bench.

He thought the matter was over. But he didn't expect Bertrand to not calm down completely, and he did something that gave Sun Yi a headache in the next game.

Because he was dissatisfied with the referee's penalty, Bertrand had an uncontrollable anger in his heart. This made him tackle Salah with a big move in the next defense.

"Beep!" As Salah screamed and fell to the ground, the referee's whistle sounded.

After the referee ran over, he showed Bertrand a yellow card directly.

A yellow card is not excessive for a foul of tackling an attacking opponent. But Bertrand already had a yellow card before.

Now, damn, two yellow cards turned into one red card.

Bertrand was sent off.

"I copied it! Damn it!" Seeing the referee show the card, Sun Yi hugged his head and cursed in shock and anger.

"This idiot! Why did he foul?"

Bertrand didn't need to foul at all in this defense.

Although Bertrand really couldn't defend Salah's cut-in. But Van Dijk had already filled in, and Salah had no chance to kick the ball.

Bertrand's foul was unnecessary. It was a stupid thing done in a fit of anger.

Now, not only was he sent off, but he also gave Liverpool a free kick opportunity.

When he saw the referee show the red card, Bertrand finally calmed down. He also began to realize that he had done something stupid.

But it was too late at this time. He had brought disaster to the team.

Bertrand covered his face in frustration and walked to the sidelines.

Sun Yi was originally very angry at Bertrand's impulsiveness. But when he saw his embarrassed look, he still held back his anger.

"I'm sorry, boss. I~"

"Go change your clothes. Don't think too much."

Seeing Bertrand walking into the player tunnel with his head down, Sun Yi felt helpless.

Ah~

Next, the game will be difficult.

With one man missing, Sun Yi didn't dare to think about the mission.

"Sun, should we change a defender?" Dio asked.

"Let me think about it first." Sun Yi didn't make a decision immediately.

"Haha. Great!!! They are one man short. The situation of the game has been reversed!"

"Yeah!! Thank God. No, thank Bertrand. He gave us a favorable situation."

"Haha. As long as this free kick goes in, the game will completely fall to our side."

Bertrand was sent off, which made the Liverpool fans completely excited.

And Klopp was also very excited.

"Yes! Yes!! The situation of the game is back in my control from now on. Victory will definitely belong to us."

Liverpool's morale rose immediately. Salah stood in front of the football. He wanted to take the penalty kick himself.

"Salah, score!"

With the cheers of the Red Army fans, Salah took the free kick.

Not to mention, the quality is quite high. However, Bertrand's tackle just now still affected his foot a little. This caused Salah's free kick to slightly miss the goal.

"Ah!!"

Watching the ball fly out of bounds, the Red Army fans felt regretful.

"It didn't go in!"

"But it doesn't matter. Now they are one man short, we have the advantage. I believe we can score soon."

"We must not only equalize, but also overtake!!"
