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

Chapter 166

Coach Zhan then began to introduce Liverpool's starting lineup.

"Liverpool's formation has been adjusted, especially the two full-backs."

"Left-back Moreno started, right-back Joe Gomez started, Klopp sent two full-backs with relatively stronger defensive attributes, obviously afraid of Hazard's strength."

"The central defender combination is still Lovren and Matip."

"The goalkeeper is the rotating goalkeeper Karius on the bench, and the midfielders Henderson, Wijnaldum and Lin Chen are the midfield trio that Klopp prefers at present."

"The forwards are still the Red Arrows, Mane, Firmino and Salah."

"The starting lineups of both sides are about to enter the field, and the battle is about to start!"

The barrage in the live broadcast room was flying, and Chelsea fans were full of confidence.

At present, Chelsea has risen to the third place in the Premier League after a wave of consecutive victories, and has locked in a Champions League seat. The situation is very good.

If Liverpool and Manchester City fail, they may even have the hope of joining the championship group.

"Kante will prove in this game that he is the strongest midfielder in the Premier League!"

"As I said, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome, only Kante who cannot overcome it!"

"If you have watched Kante's games before this season, you will understand what a true intercepting midfielder is!"

Both sides started the game, Lin Chen followed at the back of the team, with little Kante on the right side of his body. At this time, the Frenchman was staring at him with a silly smile.

The referee Atkinson signaled the goalkeeper and the linesman to get ready, and after confirming that everything was correct, he blew the whistle to start the game.

"Beep!!!"

"The game begins!"

"Dear fans, the fifth knockout round of the FA Cup has begun, with Chelsea playing at home against Liverpool!"

"Chelsea kicks off first, pass back to Fabregas."

"Pass to the right, Moses dribbles forward."

"Sweep to the middle and pass to Hazard, the Belgian controls the ball and turns, his body is agile!"

"Dribble past the opponent, beautiful! Go through!"

"Wijnaldum was passed, Henderson fouled in the defense!"

"Henderson pushed Hazard away from the side, Klopp complained, he did not think it was a foul, the referee gave Henderson a verbal warning, Chelsea got a free kick in the front court just after the start."

The fans at Stamford Bridge were instantly ignited, and Hazard's sharp breakthrough made everyone intoxicated.

The next free kick opportunity, Hazard took the penalty himself, but unfortunately he failed to suppress it, and fired a high-altitude cannon straight into the Liverpool fans' stand behind.

The game resumed, Chelsea played very actively, this is their home court.

Liverpool retreated first, stabilized the rhythm, and still used the chain defense with the midfield as the main force.

The 11th minute of the game!

"The midfielder controlled the ball, Lin Chen was not in a hurry to grab it, Fabregas made a long pass diagonally to the right, Marcos Alonso stopped the ball on the inside of his ankle, and stopped it very steadily."

"Pretending to pass, but actually thinking about it, Joe Gomez saw through it!"

Gomez intercepted the ball and immediately passed it to the midfield. Henderson got the ball and just wanted to pass it back, but Hazard behind him took the lead and intercepted the ball!

Chelsea completed the counterattack in the frontcourt, Giroud leaned against Lovren with his back!

Hazard passed the ball to Giroud shortly, the latter did not stop the ball, and passed it back horizontally, setting up a turret for Hazard.

The Belgian followed up and raised his foot to shoot, and shot towards the goal!

Karius focused and saved the ball sideways!

"Nice save, Karius didn't miss the ball."

"Chelsea's attack in the frontcourt was very beautiful. They have used Giroud's fulcrum role and Hazard's sharp dribbling many times in a row to play against the wall in the frontcourt and get shooting opportunities."

"On the contrary, Liverpool has been actively handing over the ball to Chelsea since the opening, and they have shrunk and played chain defense."

Klopp arranged the tactics to divide the game into three parts.

Liverpool will defend in the first 25 minutes after the start of the first half, because Chelsea's probability of scoring in the first 25 minutes of the last five games has reached a terrifying 80%.

After statistics, Klopp decided to suppress first and then promote, stabilize the defensive rhythm in the first 25 minutes, and then launch a counterattack in the last 20 minutes.

19th minute of the game!

Chelsea's midfield once again responded to the offensive, Bakayoko's slender legs intercepted Wijnaldum and handed it to Fabregas.

The ball-control master Fabregas made an accurate through-ball to the ribs, and accurately found Moses who was coming in from behind!

Moses made a powerful cross across the middle!

Giroud followed up with a shot, but unfortunately it was too straight and was caught by Karius!

There were exclamations at Stamford Bridge, and Chelsea frequently created dangerous situations, but unfortunately they were unable to score.

"The current rhythm of the game is definitely under Chelsea's control, no doubt."

"Chelsea's three midfielders performed well.It was really outstanding. Kante ran to intercept and protect, Fabregas acted as the dealer, and Bakayoko played the role of a balanced midfielder, escorting the two at any time.

Chelsea fans were very happy. This was the situation they wanted to see.

"This is Chelsea's true strength. We don't need to be afraid of any opponent."

"As a neutral fan, I can only say that Chelsea has played really well in this game so far. The three central defenders are unpredictable and their positions are very sharp."

"Wijnaldum can't get through Kante one-on-one. Henderson fell back to help defend Hazard and blocked Fabregas's straight pass in the middle, but Chelsea can still create opportunities through the wing."

The fans were discussing enthusiastically, and Chelsea launched another attack on the field.

But at this time, Liverpool seemed to have changed teams. The midfield began to actively press forward, the formation moved forward, and began to speed up.

Especially Lin Chen, who changed from the running position of the central midfielder to the running position of the offensive midfielder!

The 36th minute of the game!

"Chelsea's midfield offensive operations should be handed over to Fabregas."

"Lin Chen rushed to steal the ball, pressed hard, and was very fast!"

"Successfully stole the ball, squeezed Fabregas away and counterattacked with the ball!"

Kante immediately rushed to steal the ball, and rushed hard from the side to try to intercept!

This was his usual stealing trick, but the next second, Lin Chen also exerted force on his shoulder, and pushed Kante away one-on-one!

Kante, who was already short in height, had a very low center of gravity and a stable chassis, but Lin Chen's move directly pushed him to the side!

Fabregas behind him wanted to counter-steal, but Lin Chen's ankle shook lightly, and with a clever flick, he actually completed a crotch pass!

"Oh!!!"

The fans exclaimed!

Lin Chen squeezed Fabregas away with his back and continued to burst with the ball. Seeing that he was about to break into the penalty area, Bakayoko knew that he could not wait any longer, and reached out to pull Lin Chen's jersey, and Fabregas behind him also reached out to pull and foul!

"Beep!!!"

"Foul! The referee shows Bakayoko a yellow card!"

Just after he finished speaking, a conflict suddenly broke out on the field!

Even after being called for a foul, Bakayoko still grabbed Lin Chen's jersey and refused to let go. Lin Chen waved Bakayoko's hand away with his backhand!

Bakayoko immediately pointed at Lin Chen's nose and kept chattering, but Lin Chen did not retreat an inch, just stood there, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

His face was full of disdain, and his eyes were full of contempt!

Lin Chen stared at Bakayoko like this, and directly put Bakayoko into the red temperature state.

The defense was broken.

Bakayoko looked at Lin Chen and broke the defense instantly.

Fabregas hurriedly carried Bakayoko away to prevent him from receiving another yellow card and being sent off again.

Coach Zhan laughed!

"Hahaha!"

"This is Lin Chen!"

"This is his character!"

"He fought against Kante and penetrated Fabregas. He was about to succeed in his subsequent breakthrough, but was dragged down by Bakayoko and Moses, and was eventually forced to stop his advance."

"Then, facing Bakayoko's verbal attack after breaking through the defense, Lin Chen's face was full of disdain, which instantly made Bakayoko blush."

Coach Zhan smiled. He liked Lin Chen too much.

"Before this game, Chelsea fans said that they had a super iron triangle midfield, and Lin Chen would definitely be restricted."

"But Lin Chen gave a warning at the beginning."

"This disdainful expression and sarcastic smile seemed to be responding to all the doubts of black fans."

"I don't care if you are the first interception king in the Premier League!"

"I don't care if you are the ball control master Fabregas!"

"I don't care if you are black and hard Bakayoko!"

"I don't care if you are this and that!"

"Remember, my name is Lin Chen!"

"As long as I am on the football field, I am not afraid of anyone!"

Lin Chen's disdainful expression made Bakayoko blush, but at this moment, all Chelsea fans also entered the blush state.

Because this was a free kick in an excellent position, and Lin Chen's face was gloomy, standing in front of the ball ready to take the penalty!
