‘Doing Everything That Liverpool Hate Ander Herrera For’ – Liverpool & Man United fans react to Emre Can incident
Germany won the Confederations Cup for the first time ever after after beating Chile 1-0 in the final yesterday.
Liverpool star Emre Can did not start the game, in fact he only played the last 10 minutes but that was still enough time for him to leave his mark on the game.
The midfielder of Turkish origin was involved in a bizarre and pretty creative method of time wasting.
Can fell over and clenched the ball between his legs, refusing to give it up.
The 23-year-old managed to wind up his opposition and ended up with half the Chile team surrounding him to get the ball back.

Can’s behaviour was compared to that of Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera who has a reputation for winning at all costs.
We took a look at how United and Liverpool fans reacted to the Can – Herrera comparisons on social media.
In case you missed the incident, here is Can almost sparking a diplomatic war between Germany and Chile.

Can even got a cheeky poke up the bum after managing to aggravate half the Chile team.
Some things never change…

Most Reds fans appeared to be pretty pleased with Can’s win at all costs attitude. The gritty and slightly unsportsmanlike behaviour shown went down very well.
I love him for it. Imagine having the balls to do that against Chileans. Wall.

Hate to mention a player from that lot but Liverpool need a snidey Herrera character in midfield. Emre can easily be that man

Starting to like Emre Can. The more Herrera esque rumbling, the better.

The highlight of that game was the 5 Chile players failing to get the ball off Emre Can. Pure shithousery by Can but love it. ???

Some United fans thought their rivals reaction to the Can incident was hypocritical considering they slate Herrera for similar behaviour.
Emre Can being a twat but it isn’t Ander Herrera so you won’t hear fans complaining

The difference between Herrera and can is that Barca wants to buy Herrera and can is playing in a shite club
