Everyone wondered about the substitution Lippi made, and unceremoniously questioned the decision.
However, the main person who was being questioned sat calmly in the technical area, as if he was not the one who had brought Balotelli on.
On the other hand, maybe he did not see Balotelli's mistake at all...
In fact, he certainly saw it and was clear about it. It was just that he could not express his displeasure with the player who had just been brought on. He sat on the sidelines with a calm face, but he was sending a message to the players that:
Don't worry, we still have the time and opportunity. Don't be thrown into confusion.
The players all calmed down one by one when they saw the sanguine expression of their manager.
Why should we panic when the manager is not?
Even Balotelli, who had just made a mistake, thought so.
