At seventeen, I went to Spain to win the World Cup

Chapter 136

After saying the name of the central midfielder, even Coach Zhang himself couldn't believe what he had just said.

He had only heard of this tactical term in a documentary about the Dutch national team in his early years.

Cruyff mentioned it once, and it was just a concept at the time, and no action was taken. Even Cruyff thought it was a completely unrealistic idea.

"The core of the central midfielder tactic is still unknown."

"But if you just look at the name, it should require the central defender to press forward to the position of the defensive midfielder, and even dribble the ball to the midfield alone to help the team's midfield organize the attack."

"This requires a very high ability of the central defender. Obviously Guardiola is letting Stones play such a role."

The sound of passing and receiving the ball rang out on the court. Manchester City firmly controlled the ball and gradually resolved Liverpool's super high pressure.

Klopp came to the sidelines with both hands pressed down, signaling the players to stabilize the rhythm first to avoid wasting energy due to excessive pressure.

Lin Chen gradually retreated to the midfield position and began to observe. The more he observed, the more worried he became, because he could not understand Manchester City's tactics at all.

And Manchester City was obviously familiar with this new tactic and played very effectively!

16th minute of the game!

"Stones once again dribbled the ball upwards and passed it to David Silva."

"Stones did not return to the central defender position after passing the ball, but moved forward to meet David Silva."

"Sure enough, the magician passed the ball back to Stones, and Liverpool's midfield was always in a passive situation because they were always suppressed by Manchester City's numerical advantage."

"Due to the position of Stones dribbling the ball, Manchester City's midfield will have one more person, they are four against three!"

Just as Stones pressed with the ball, he passed it to the right side from the outside corner and accurately found Sterling!

Sterling has already got a one-on-one opportunity!

Facing Robertson's instant explosion, he lifted his buttocks, pushed his legs and exerted force, and Sterling quickly completed the breakthrough!

Liverpool fans booed and mocked Sterling!

"Sterling successfully broke through the bottom!"

"There is a chance to pass the ball, reverse triangle!"

"Aguero!!!"

Sterling passed the ball to Aguero with a reverse triangle, and Aguero raised his foot and shot!

He almost twisted his body 270 degrees, and without even adjusting his pace, he swung his thick calves and shot the ball towards the goal!

Mignolet made a save, but Lovren fell to the ground and blocked the shot with his body!

A huge sound rang out, and the ball bounced into the penalty area, and there was still a chance for a follow-up shot!

"Aguero caught up and wanted to play again!"

"Matip kicked the ball first and finally resolved the crisis!"

"From the replay of the live broadcast, Aguero's muscles were tense when he just shot, especially the muscles of his thighs and calves bulged quickly, which looked very scary!"

"There was a very interesting news that said Aguero specially found a physical therapist because his thighs were too thick, which caused Aguero to sleep on his side, otherwise the muscles of his two thighs would be pressed together, which would make him very painful."

"This also reflects Aguero's shooting skills, a real heavy gunner!"

"In the penalty area, his shots will catch the goalkeeper off guard."

Manchester City relied on a new midfielder tactic to firmly suppress Liverpool.

For the first time, Liverpool fans felt terrified. This was the first time since the beginning of this season that they saw Liverpool so passive on the field, and even suppressed without any ability to fight back.

"The game has been going on for 20 minutes now. From the ball possession rate, Manchester City has 70%, which is very scary!"

"Liverpool players almost passively follow the ball, and Manchester City has more and more opportunities."

The 31st minute of the game!

Lin Chen frantically retreated to participate in the defense, and Manchester City's attack came back.

De Bruyne passed the ball to David Silva, and Lin Chen immediately rushed to grab it.

But David Silva cleverly passed the ball back and gave it back to De Bruyne.

Henders was forced to step forward to face De Bruyne one-on-one. The Belgian genius lowered his shoulders, cut inside a step to slightly shake the angle, and then turned around with the inside of his ankle!

A beautiful arc, sliding along the grass to a beautiful trajectory, straight to the left!

A straight pass like a rainbow!

Joe Gomez staggered and turned, but Sane broke out and started, and broke into the penalty area while receiving the ball. He stopped and squeezed Gomez away, and shot at a small angle towards the goal!

Mignolet was stunned in place, the distance was too close, he couldn't react at all.

All the players in Liverpool's defense line followed the goal into the net!

"GOAL!!!!!!!"

In the Sky Sports commentary room, Manchester City legend Richards stood up and applauded!

"Good shot!!!""Sane played beautifully, Manchester City took the lead!"

"Manchester City's midfielder tactics are powerful!"

"Oh my God, Guardiola actually has this trick up his sleeve. I have never seen Manchester City play today's tactics, but it is obviously effective. They completely pressed Liverpool in their half and rubbed them repeatedly!"

"Manchester City controls the ball, controls the offensive rhythm, controls everything, they are the overlords of this game!"

Liverpool legend Gerrard said nothing, quietly watched Richards' excited performance, and just silently raised a middle finger under the table.

Klopp stood on the sidelines and pondered. He knew that he had to find a solution as soon as possible.

Lin Chen was still thinking. Although his team was scored, Lin Chen did not feel nervous or worried.

He knew that as long as he found a solution, Liverpool would be able to reverse the decline in their home court!

After the game resumed, Liverpool was still passively defending, Manchester City was still pressing on the offensive, and Liverpool fans could not see any hope of winning.

Major live broadcast rooms.

"Guardiola actually kept this trick up his sleeve just to deal with Liverpool!"

"Guardiola's greatness lies in his constant innovation."

"Everything that is dangerous is just being innovated, and Guardiola is creating new dangers!"

The fans were all talking about Guardiola's new tactics crazily. At this time, Lin Chen, who was in the midfield and had been involved in defense, suddenly began to change his running style.

I saw a black shadow striding forward, especially when Stones was dribbling forward, Lin Chen would always start at the same time and make a counter-run towards Stones!

Guardiola's heart tightened on the sidelines, and at this time, Lin Chen's mouth corners slightly raised.

Lin Chen knew that doing this might not completely block Guardiola's midfielder tactics, but it might save Liverpool from danger!

Maybe he had found...

The solution! The way!
