Simeone's shouts were naturally heard by Erik ten Hag as well.
Erik ten Hag went straight to the fourth official. "Isn't that too shameless? Did you hear that? What are they trying to do!?"
"..."
The fourth official was left somewhat awkward and told Erik ten Hag that shouting alone did not count as a foul.
"Wow, so you mean I can only complain after Tom gets sent to the hospital?"
Erik ten Hag flung his hand aside. "Okay, okay, you're really impressive."
There were many coaches Erik ten Hag disliked: Escribá, Pep Guardiola, Jürgen Klopp, and Simeone among them.
The Dutchman had long since ranked these coaches on a blacklist in his mind. The higher the ranking, the more he disliked them.
Now, it seemed Simeone's ranking needed to move up a little!
"Xuuu!!!"
Cristiano Ronaldo came over to receive the ball on the left, using the outside of his foot to carry it toward Felipe.
Stepovers!
A change of direction!
Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to beat his man with stepovers, but Felipe read his intentions and poked the ball away with his toe.
"Xuuu!!!"
"Trash!"
"Ronaldo is trash!"
Atlético Madrid's fans showed Cristiano Ronaldo no mercy. Whenever the Portuguese made a mistake, they did everything they could to mock him.
"It's fine!"
Tang Ye shouted, signaling for Cristiano Ronaldo to track back quickly.
"..."
Time passed quickly, and the match reached the 14th minute of the first half.
Manchester United's possession had reached a staggering 82%.
Atlético Madrid's tactics were rather unusual, allowing Manchester United to enjoy their highest possession rate since the start of the season.
Manchester United's fans were delighted.
But after the 20-minute mark, the Manchester United fans in front of their televisions slowly began to sense that something was wrong.
More than 80% possession, yet
