Chapter 593 Foul
In the second half, everyone could see that Burnley's players made the same big moves as in the first half, and they also made some small moves. Especially when doing these small moves, Burnley players on the field would actively cover the referee's sight.
In this case, Liverpool's players could not pass the ball calmly, let alone shoot. Even if they could shoot, they missed the goal due to interference from the opponent, and the referee almost did not call fouls on Burnley's players because of the perspective.
In this case, Liverpool's players also got angry. When Li Qing was still warming up, Liverpool's players on the field also made bigger moves after losing a goal.
In this case, Klopp had already made substitutions, first replacing Origi with Salah. Origi's emotions were obviously out of control in the previous game, and he had a dispute with Burnley's players, and was shown a yellow card warning by the referee.
Burnley immediately made changes, and Martin Taylor, the commentator in the live broadcast room, also saw Burnley's changes, but he did not understand why Burnley made such adjustments.
"Sean Dyche actually only used Benjamin to defend Salah. What does this mean? Does he think his team can maintain the lead until the end? Doesn't he know how powerful Salah is?"
"Salah is the second most dangerous player in Liverpool after Li Qing. I really don't understand why Dyche is so confident in his captain. Does he think his captain is capable of defending Salah alone?"
Benjamin began to struggle on the court. Although he looked one ton more than Salah in all aspects of his body, he actually couldn't defend Salah.
Facing Benjamin's defense, Salah felt almost no pressure. He could calmly take the ball and turn around. He also felt a little strange about Burnley's defense.
But Salah didn't think about the reason. Facing Benjamin's defense, he easily broke through Benjamin with a light shift of the center of gravity. But unfortunately, when he kicked the ball, he was hit by Benjamin and the ball was immediately saved by Joe Hart.
"Damn it!" Salah felt a little sorry, rubbing his shoulder and walking back. Just now, Benjamin hit his injured shoulder when he shot the ball for the last time, so he didn't shoot with enough power.
If the shooting position was in the penalty area, I would have fallen directly to the ground, otherwise I wouldn't get a penalty! Salah glared at Benjamin, but unexpectedly found that the opponent's coach was yelling at Benjamin on the sidelines.
Sean Dyche was very dissatisfied with Benjamin's performance on the field just now, and roared at his captain fiercely: "What are you doing? Do you really think he is a guest! He is your enemy, do you want the team to lose the ball?"
Benjamin's face was a little ugly, but he didn't say anything. He lowered his head and ran slowly to the front court, still following Salah alone.
The Liverpool players on the field also saw that the opponent only sent a central defender to defend Salah, which was obviously good news for them, so they began to consciously pass the ball to Salah during the attack.
Salah is one of the best players in Liverpool. Once he gets the ball and runs, he will be a threat to any team, so Liverpool players decided to make full use of this favorable factor on the field.
Salah received the pass from captain Henderson and turned his back to Benjamin, but this time, Benjamin didn't let him turn around and made a fierce tackle. Salah's body softened and he fell to the ground.
"Beep..." The referee's whistle sounded immediately, and he ran over quickly. Facing Benjamin with his hands raised, he directly showed a yellow card. The referee saw Benjamin's shovel action clearly, and it was definitely a shovel aimed at people.
Li Qing, who was warming up, stopped suddenly. The referee signaled the team doctor to come on the field. The Liverpool team doctor immediately rushed into the field, helped Salah out of the field, and began to treat him.
"wuwuwuuuuuuu——"
Burnley fans immediately booed wildly. In their opinion, any whistle that was unfavorable to their team was wrong. Benjamin's tackle just now was completely fine. Salah was simply faking a fall!
"What a fucking noise!" Li Qing subconsciously looked at Klopp, but found that Klopp was only staring at the direction of the other coach.
Burnley captain Benjamin looked at his coach with a guilty conscience at this time, but saw that his coach gave him a thumbs up.
Klopp's face turned black when he saw this scene. Li Qing frowned and looked at Salah, but found that after a simple treatment by the team doctor, Salah had returned to the court. Burnley fans immediately booed louder than before.
"Damn bastard, I knew he was faking a fall!"
"Look at the clown's running, there is no problem at all. The referee was deceived by him!"
Li Qing frowned even deeper. Amid the boos, Salah, who returned to the court, was still raising his hand to signal his request.
Obviously, Salah, who got the chance to play, was not willing to give up the confrontation just because the opponent's player who was marking him made too much movement. The Egyptian's character is still very stubborn!
At this time, Henderson still had the ball. When he saw Salah signaling to him, he hesitated for a moment, but still passed the ball.
Benjamin immediately came up, and Salah noticed the opponent's approach from the corner of his eyes. He decided not to give Benjamin a chance to get close to him. He wanted to use his dribbling and speed to get rid of the opponent's defense as soon as possible.
Li Qing's eyes lit up. Salah hooked the ball with his foot on the field, then took it behind him, and then turned quickly. Sure enough, before Benjamin got in position, he got rid of the opponent, and then followed a few big steps to the outside of the penalty area and shot.
But Salah's shot was a bit straight. For this level of shot, former England goalkeeper Joe Hart easily took the ball off and quickly kicked it to the front court.
Salah scratched his hair in annoyance. Klopp had already told the fourth official on the sidelines that he was ready to replace Li Qing and cooperate with Salah to strengthen the attack.
At this time, Liverpool once again attacked the opponent's half. Keita passed the ball to Arnold who was inserted in the back row. Arnold used his speed to eat the opponent's full-back alive, and then crossed the ball from the bottom.
There was chaos in the Burnley penalty area. Joe Hart attacked and hit the ball out of his penalty area. Salah immediately ran towards the ball and Benjamin immediately chased him.
Facing the falling ball, Salah sprinted a big step and then jumped. Benjamin also rushed up to compete with Salah for the header.
The tall and strong Benjamin made a very hidden move in the air. No one on the field could see that Salah lost his balance in the air...
