166: Sure enough, greed is the greatest original sin!
Liverpool players surrounded referee Banks and asked to speak.
Lallana even became furious and almost fought with Banks.
Fortunately, the Liverpool players found out and caught him early, otherwise, this guy would have been punished after the game.
Banks looked expressionless and signaled Lallana to leave quickly, and also signaled the Liverpool players to leave quickly.
This game cannot just stagnate. ??
The people of Liverpool saw Banks' determination and everyone knew that there was no chance.
And they also saw the fire in Banks's eyes, and he immediately retreated.
They don't want to get two more red cards for something that doesn't happen.
If that were the case, there would be no competition for Liverpool in this game.
Although Klopp on the sidelines was also very angry, at this time, he still remained rational and reminded his players to return to their positions quickly and not to worry about it anymore.
After all, Banks has already done the hard work and made the penalty, and it is Liverpool who will suffer the consequences.
The Liverpool players then retreated to defend.
Lallana, on the other hand, turned his head three times and expressed his dissatisfaction to the referee Banks.
Banks ignored this guy's actions at all, and quietly watched Lallana's performance, and then looked down at the watch on his wrist. Anyway, at this time, it was not his time that was wasted, but the Liverpool man's own.
time.
Black whistle, black whistle, black whistle!
The fans of the visiting team roared crazily and criticized Banks with such voices.
But Banks remained expressionless and didn't care.
The Crystal Palace fans applauded Banks, thinking he did the right thing.
Lallana eventually left the field angrily.
Liverpool fans are very dissatisfied, but this is a fact that cannot be changed.
"It's dangerous, now Liverpool is in danger. Lallana is sent off, and Liverpool will have one less player to fight. And this is Liverpool's away game. Under such circumstances, it will be difficult for Liverpool to play!
"Mortensen said immediately.
Shhhhhhh!
The Liverpool fans at the scene were still expressing their dissatisfaction.
"That's true. This situation is very unfavorable for Liverpool. It should be impossible for them to compete for victory! At this time, if I were Klopp, I might ask the whole team to shrink the defense.
Just keep this draw. After all, this is not the final result, there is still the second round. I think Liverpool is worth it to get a draw at such a disadvantage." Shearer said at this time
It actually helped the people of Liverpool, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Mortensen also turned his head and glanced at Shearer, and then immediately said, "That's true. Defending and keeping a draw is indeed Liverpool's own choice now. Being able to get a draw is also a success! But at this time, I think Crowley
Pu and Liverpool players are They are reluctant to give up the offense. After all, they went from zero to two to three to two, and they definitely want to win this game. So, this is very dangerous for Liverpool."
It seems that if they continue to attack fiercely, Liverpool will not only lose one person, but also the physical fitness of the players will decline, and the disadvantage of this missing person will be infinitely magnified. At this time, if they continue to attack fiercely, the backcourt will
There are so many loopholes.
For Crystal Palace, a team that is extremely good at counterattacking quickly, this is an excellent opportunity.
Therefore, it would be very fatal for Liverpool to attack at this time.
Be sensible, Liverpool should really take it back at this time and hold on to the draw.
Klopp did the same thing on the sidelines. He immediately came to the sidelines, reminded the Liverpool players to recycle, quickly waved their hands to defend, and held on to the draw. Let the victory or defeat be decided directly in the second round. In the second round, there will be another
With Crystal Palace back on the same starting line, Liverpool still have a great chance.
It is dangerous and unnecessary to attack Crystal Palace now at such a disadvantage.
Klopp's brave act of breaking his wrist made people secretly admire his wisdom.
However, the Liverpool players in the stadium felt it was a pity to give up like this, and they couldn't accept it.
They all feel that they can still fight hard. Even if there is one less player, they can still threaten the Crystal Palace goal. Liverpool still have a chance.
At this time, Crystal Palace got a direct free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.
De Bruyne stood in front of the football, full of threats.
De Bruyne's free kick skills are also very good. He stood in front of the ball and gave the Liverpool fans a lot of pressure. The Liverpool fans were very nervous, and the Liverpool players also lined up carefully and meticulously.
Human wall.
At this time, De Bruyne did not serve the free kick quickly, but directly handed the opportunity to Asensio.
This was beyond everyone's expectations.
De Bruyne gave such a good free kick opportunity to the young Asensio? Asensio's free kick skills are even better than De Bruyne's?
Liverpool players are doubtful!
They all felt that this should be a psychological warfare for the Crystal Palace people.
However, Liverpool was still meticulous in defending free kicks and did not relax just because Crystal Palace made substitutions.
On the contrary, they became more serious.
After all, everyone is more worried and afraid of the unknown.
However, Asensio also hit the world with long-range shots many times in the Crystal Palace. It can be seen that this guy's footwork is still very good. Surely, he also has a very good direct free kick skills.
That’s why Crystal Palace talents will use this
Such a good opportunity was given to the young Asensio.
Liverpool attaches great importance to it and is determined to support Asensio.
All the fans in the audience were tightly supporting Asensio. They all wanted to see how good Asensio's free kick skills were.
beep!
At this moment, Banks blew the whistle for the free throw.
In front of the football, Asensio took a deep breath quickly and then accelerated towards the football.
Everyone was holding their breath and staring closely at Asensio who was running up. Everyone thought that he would complete the free kick. Liverpool was fully prepared and was waiting for the ball to fly out.
Who knows, Asensio didn't kick the football at all, but ran past the football quickly and quickly ran into Liverpool's penalty area.
The Liverpool players were shocked. It was not Asensio who started the game. He had been deceived.
After being shaken, they immediately regained their spirits and quickly looked in front of the football.
At this time, De Bruyne rushed forward quickly, and the Liverpool players suddenly realized. It turned out that De Bruyne was the one who shot the ball. They had really been deceived by people like Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace people are so cunning!
Liverpool's players were staring at De Bruyne as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
They all thought that De Bruyne would hit a perfect curve ball, and the wall was ready to take off.
Unexpectedly, De Bruyne rushed up and pushed the ball directly, quickly pushing the football into Liverpool's penalty area.
And the football just rolled to the feet of Asensio who rushed into the penalty area!
Liverpool's defensive players were all focused on De Bruyne, but they didn't notice Asensio.
Therefore, Asensio received the football easily, with only Liverpool goalkeeper Mendy in front of him.
Went to the meeting alone!
Crystal Palace's free kick cooperation was really unexpected, at least the Liverpool people did not expect it. At this time, it was too late for Liverpool's defensive players to rush forward to intercept Asensio. They could only pin their hopes on goalkeeper Mendy.
.
Seeing Mendy rushing out, Asensio pushed the football lightly into the far corner.
With such a close shot, even if Mendy was an octopus, he still couldn't hit the football.
The football rolled past Mendy's stretched-out toes and quickly rolled into the far lower corner of the goal.
The ball went in!
With a beautiful free kick, Crystal Palace scored against Liverpool.
Four to three!
Crystal Palace finally exceeded the score again, Crystal Palace took the lead over Liverpool.
The Liverpool players raised their hands to signal that Asensio was offside. This was an offside kick and the goal could not be counted. All the Liverpool fans at the scene also reacted. Everyone raised their hands to indicate offside.
However, referee Banks and the linesmen did not indicate offside, so this was a good goal.
And it can be seen from the slow-motion replay that the ball was indeed not offside. Crystal Palace's free kick was beyond the expectations of Liverpool's defensive players. Therefore, Asensio was given the opportunity to directly face the goalkeeper.
Mendy's chance.
And Mendy had no choice. No one might be able to save such a close shot.
Therefore, this goal is that the Crystal Palace people performed too well, and it has nothing to do with them, Liverpool.
This is the strength of the Crystal Palace people.
Seeing this, Klopp was very speechless.
They also talked about taking back the result and maintaining the tie. Now that they have been overtaken, what should they do? Should they accept this defeat, or should they go all out and rush forward to create a miracle?
After struggling for a while, Klopp finally made a decision.
give up!
Losing only one goal is actually acceptable. After all, the two sides still have the second round of the game. The difference of one goal is not big. They have a great chance to defeat Crystal Palace when they return to their home court. If you don't concede a goal at this time, you will win. In this way
If so, there is still a chance in the second round.
If we attack at this time and are scored by Crystal Palace, then the chance of falling behind by two goals will be very small.
It is very likely that the second round of the game will become garbage time!
After all, at this time, Liverpool is missing one person, and their physical fitness is severely reduced. Isn't it asking for death to rush out and attack fiercely at this time?
To be on the safe side, Klopp gritted his teeth and gave up.
After all, if they lose at this time, they still have a chance in the second round.
Klopp immediately came to the sidelines to remind the players in the stadium to continue to defend, maintain the score on the spot, and not concede any more goals. But obviously, the Liverpool players on the field could not accept such an ending.
Originally they should have won this game, but now they couldn't even get a draw. Naturally, they felt uncomfortable.
Therefore, after the game restarted, Liverpool's players actually attacked.
Seeing this, Klopp's face darkened.
However, his players made such a choice, and it was not easy for him to explode on the spot.
Moreover, he also has a sense of luck in his heart. What if Liverpool really equalizes the score?
Facts have proved that Klopp thought too much.
Just one minute later, Crystal Palace midfielder Casemiro stole the ball. Then Llorente made a long pass and found Ibrahimovic in the frontcourt. Ibrahimovic jumped high and raised his head.
The ball was passed, and De Bruyne, who rushed forward, didn't wait for the ball to land. He met the ball with a volley, and the ball was swiped into the Liverpool goal.
Crystal Palace expanded the score to five to three.
