Referee De Atkinson held a yellow card in his hand, and the one he showed was Liverpool's midfielder Lucas.

Just now, Aston Villa won a free kick in the frontcourt, and Kyle Walker made a quick free kick.

Thiago Silva assisted and dribbled the ball and advanced directly.

The central defender came up directly to participate in the offense, which caught Liverpool's defensive line off guard.

Seeing Thiago Silva was about to drive the ball and drive straight in, Lucas came up with a fierce tackle, throwing Thiago Silva to the ground.

Fang Jue was furious on the sidelines, and he was worried that Thiago Silva would be injured.

He stood on the sidelines and watched nervously as the team doctor checked Thiago Silva's injury.

Then, a scene that made Fang Jue angrily appeared. The team doctor made a gesture, which was a gesture to ask for a substitution. Thiago Silva was injured and could not continue to play...

Fang Jue was very unhappy. Before the first half was over, he was forced to substitute because of the injury of the player. This was an unexpected situation and also disrupted his tactical deployment.

Thiago Silva's feet are very good and his passes are also very accurate. The Brazilian central defender directly passes the ball from the backcourt to launch a counterattack, which is a fruitful tactic in Aston Villa's offensive tactics.

Moreover, Silva's back insertion and participation in the offense was also effective.

It can be said that Thiago Silva's injury was a significant impact on Aston Villa.

Fang Jue's eyes swept around the bench. There are now two central defenders on the bench, Stones and Clark. Fang Jue considered it and chose to replace Clark.

The central defender trained by Aston Villa himself in youth training has made progress in the naked eye in the past few seasons, especially after the words and deeds of the two "masters" Nesta and Thiago Silva, which is quite meaningful to be enlightened.

After the game was thirty-nine minutes, Aston Villa was forced to make substitutions and Cialon Clark came on as a substitute, replacing Thiago Silva who was injured and unable to continue the game.

************

"How is the situation?" Fang Jue asked the team doctor Thiago Silva's injury.

"It's not clear yet, and further examination is needed." The team doctor said, thinking about it and adding, "The preliminary examination should not be too big."

Fang Jue breathed a sigh of relief, he nodded, patted Thiago Silva on the shoulder, and asked the Brazilian veteran to sit on the bench.

"Aston Villa was forced to make substitution adjustments, Cyron Clark came on as a substitute, and Thiago Silva left the court due to injury."

"This is an unexpected situation and may be good news for Liverpool."

The visiting team coach's seat on the sidelines, Liverpool's assistant coach also told Rodgers, "Clark is young and has no experience, and he may be the breakthrough for us to score."

Rogers nodded, he thought so too.

Then, Rodgers came to the sidelines and conveyed his tactical instructions to the players on the court:

Strongly attack Clark's defense zone and strive to make breakthroughs and goals from this young defender who has just started the court!

However, afterwards a Liverpool attack, Cialon Clark, like everyone shows his progress and trustworthy.

This is Gerald's pass, and Glenn Johnson's cross from the bottom.

Cialon Clark jumped high, and he pushed the ball out of the crossbar neatly, without letting Lucas, who had already jumped up and fought for the landing point, grab the header.

Liverpool's corner kick.

Joe Allen took the corner kick and drove into the penalty area.

Gerald's header caused some chaos in Aston Villa's penalty area. In the chaos, Sendros blocked Lambert's shot with his body. Then Cillon Clark wisely called the goalkeeper. He protected the football and prevented Sterling from shooting, so that Fabianski came up and hugged the football.

"Beautiful! Siren Clark, although he is relatively young, he performs very well on the court and completes defensive tasks twice in a row. This may be the reason why Fang Jue chose to give Clark the chance to play today." Leinker said.

"Liverpool saw Cylon Clark playing, and they seemed to be planning to open the breakthrough here, but to their disappointment, Clark performed very well, but he was very stable here."

...

Fang Jue nodded with satisfaction.

After Clark came on as a substitute, he stood on the sidelines to direct the game. Although he chose Clark to play, he was still a little worried after all.

Clark is indeed working hard and has made great progress.

However, performance on the training ground and performance on the on-the-spot game are completely different things.

Many players perform very well on the training ground, but as long as they play, they are far from their training state.

There are even some teams and players who have bad results at home, but they are very good when they go away.

Some teams at home are banned from watching the game by fans at the stands for some reasons, but they are actually the "king of empty courts" who performed very well.

Seeing Clark's two consecutive defensive performances, Fang Jue was very satisfied and sat back on the coach's seat.

Clark did not disappoint him or panic, but on the contrary, he performed very steadily.

Before the end of the first half, another unexpected situation occurred on the court.

This is an offensive launched by Aston Villa.

After Sanchez and Mane were replaced, they suddenly ran forward and received a pass from Milner's assist.

Lucas went to defend Sanchez, and the two of them pulled and pulled, but both sides were not clean anyway.

At this time, the two of them fell to the ground at the same time.

The whistle of referee Atkinson sounded.

He called Lucas for a foul and verbally warned Lucas.

Rodgers was unhappy on the sidelines. In his opinion, Lucas and Sanchez both had movements on their hands. The Chilean man was not tall and had a big move on his hands. The referee said that Lucas had committed a foul, and he also said that Sanchez had a bigger move, and Sanchez had a foul.

On the court, Lucas was also expressing his dissatisfaction because the foul location was too dangerous and the location was very good. It was completely within the range of Aston Villa's players who were good at taking free kicks, such as Modric and Sanchez.

If Aston Villa uses this free kick opportunity to score another goal, Aston Villa will lead three to zero, and Liverpool will almost lose.

Therefore, Lucas could not accept this penalty.

He shouted angrily at the referee, protesting the penalty, "I did not commit a foul, I am the victim."

The referee waved his hand and signaled Lucas to get out quickly and stop talking.

"Will you blow?" Lucas yelled unyieldingly.

Liverpool captain Gerald was shocked and wanted to come up and cover Lucas' mouth quickly and prevent him from talking nonsense, but it was too late.

Sure enough, he saw the referee Atkinson reaching his hand into his pocket and lit up at Lucas: a yellow card.

Then, the referee took out another red card: Go down!

Lucas was dissatisfied with the penalty and kept protesting in exchange for another yellow card, but as a result, he was sent off for two yellow cards.

"Oh oh oh! Let's see what happened! Lucas fouled against Sanchez, and he was verbally warned by the referee. However, Lucas was very dissatisfied with the penalty. He kept protesting, which finally angered the referee Atkinson. He then showed Lucas the second yellow card. Two yellows turned red, and Lucas was sent off with a red card!"

"It's so dramatic! Aston Villa's last offensive opportunity in the first half didn't seem to be a very good offensive opportunity, but Lucas actually said something because he was dissatisfied with the penalty, which gave him the second yellow card. Two yellows turned into one red card and were sent off by a red card. This also means that Liverpool not only fell behind two goals in the second half, but also had one less game. This is a huge blow to Liverpool!"

"Lucas was sent off! He applied for this red card himself. Originally, the referee was just a verbal warning, but Lucas's uncoolness made him receive the second yellow card." Birmingham's commentator shouted excitedly, "This is excellent good news for Aston Villa!"

"The referee's penalty is worth discussing. His penalty is too severe!" Reinkell expressed his disapproval of this penalty, and shouted, "Don't he know that Lucas already has a yellow card? This red card will have a direct impact on the results of the game, which may even destroy Liverpool's fighting will.!"

"This can only be blamed for Lucas not restraining his temper and controlling his words and deeds. The referee did not intend to play cards," said John Motson.

"Rogers' team is in great trouble. What should Rogers do, what can he do? What kind of response will he make in the second half?" Leinker said.

The camera immediately gave the coach's seat close-up on the sidelines.

Liverpool coach Rodgers was furious on the sidelines. He was spraying saliva at the fourth official. The Reds coach was really unacceptable to Lucas' red card: zero to two, how can he play one less person? Just kick it!

...

Aston Villa's frontcourt free kick.

Modric's free kick passed the crossbar and almost hit the top of the crossbar and left the baseline, which shocked Liverpool fans in a cold sweat.

Rodgers was also frightened to his back as he was on the sidelines.

He understood that this was Lucas's willingness to be so emotional about the referee's free kick, and that the free kick at this position was too dangerous.

Then, referee Atkinson blew the whistle to the end of the first half.

At the end of the first half, Aston Villa, who played at the New Villa Park Stadium, led the Reds Liverpool 2-0.

During the halftime break, Fang Jue praised the players' performance in the first half. He encouraged the players to continue their efforts in the second half, strive for another goal, expand the lead to three goals, and completely lock in the victory of the game.

At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool's coach Rodgers did not make a substitution adjustment for Lucas being sent off in the first half.

Fang Jue quickly saw Rogers's response through observation.

Rogers arranged for Joe Allen to play Lucas, leaving only two counterattack points, Sterling and Lambert, in front.

Then, it is not known whether Liverpool's change of formation can have a good effect, but another unexpected situation occurred on the court.

This is Aston Villa's central defender Sendros in a fight with an elbow lift.

This was directly regarded as an elbow by referee Atkinson, who directly showed Sendross a red card.

"Red card, red card, it turned out to be a red card!" Leinker said in surprise. "Atkinson sent Sendross a red card, which was amazing."

"Atkinson believes that Sendros has an elbow strike, and this penalty will definitely cause great controversy after the game," said John Motterson.

Slow-motion replay shows that although Sendros raised his arm, he did not act maliciously with elbows.

Strictly speaking, even if you play cards, a yellow card is the most suitable, and a red card seems a bit too strict.
