Fan Manchester City Ramai-ramai Kecam Liverpool di ICC 2018

Para fan Manchester City mengecam permainan agresif yang ditunjukkan Liverpool kala kedua tim bertemu di turnamen pra-musim International Champions Cup 2018, Rabu (25/7/2018) waktu setempat atau Kamis pagi WIB.  

Manchester City menghadapi Liverpool di laga turnamen pra-musim International Champions Cup di MetLife Stadium, New Jersey, Amerika Serikat.

Manchester City yang menurunkan mayoritas pemain muda, unggul 1-0 terlebih dulu lewat gol Leroy Sane pada menit ke-57.

Namun, Liverpool FC mampu bangkit dengan mengemas dua gol beruntun melalui lesakan Mohamed Salah (63') dan eksekusi penalti Sadio Mane (90+4').

Pasca-pertandingan, pendukung The Cititzen berbondong-bondong mengecam pendekatan agresif yang ditampilkan pasukan Juergen Klopp.

Fan City juga mengkritik kepemimpinan wasit Sorin Stoica yang cenderung membiarkan hal itu terjadi.

Mereka berpendapat bahwa pertandingan ini adalah pertandingan pemanasan sebelum musim depan bergulir, dan The Reds seharusnya tidak perlu memperagakan sepak bola agresif.

Dirty Liverpool tackles against a younger City squad. Just awful. Apparently they have something to prove preseason.

Liverpool playing so dirty tonight, must be trying to compensate the fact their fans didn't attack our bus, so they thought they would take it upon themselves

Liverpool. Stop. It's only preseason. No need for dirty challenges over and over

OK. Realizing it’s a friendly but how many dirty plays will Liverpool be allowed before they get called?  #MCILIV#ManCity#mcfc
