Meanwhile, on the pitch, Michael Sterling yelled for a hydration break during an injury stoppage and walked up to the touchline where Vladimir Petrovic was standing before waving Diego Nunez over.
Diego was still frustrated after he made such a bad clearance attempt and allowed a dangerous shot. They were now in the same situation with Liverpool pressing high and only 10 minutes until halftime, putting significant pressure on the team.
He expected to receive a grilling from Michael, however, it was the opposite.
"Vladimir, why didn't you step up to the striker?"
'Huh?' Diego, who was busy looking at his muddy boots, suddenly raised his gaze and looked at Michael oddly.
"A-Ah sorry Boss. Everything happened so fast that I didn't react in time." Vladimir replied, also a little perplexed that he was the one being scolded.
