The Portuguese defender put in a strong display in the first half, putting pressure on United winger Alejandro Garnacho. However, in one advance, Nelson Semedo was shown a yellow card by referee Robert Jones after a tackle that Julen Lopetegui said was good in the 26th minute.
Lopetegui thinks Wolves have suffered after Semedo received a yellow card.
When asked about arbitration, Lopetegui said: “It’s a good question, and I can’t answer it. [chÃnh xác]but in my opinion, of course, we had to get a turning yellow card for Nelson [Semedo].”
“It was the turning point because he was playing at a very high level and in the second half he took a big risk against the players in the game. [tình huống] one on one, like Rashford, Bruno [Fernandes] or Malacca. We decided to pull him out and it was an important decision. Then that’s the harder part.”
Meanwhile, Lopetegui was somewhat regretful when his team succumbed to the only goal of Marcus Rashford: “We have to improve but I think we deserved more than that against a very big team.”
