Chapter 582

Barnett's company promoted Lin Chen's golf course on behalf of the company. After all, it was Barnett who asked Lin Chen to sell the golf course. If it lost money after the sale, Barnett would not be able to face Lin Chen.

However, after the news was released, the feedback was very good. Most fans, for Lin Chen's sake, expressed their willingness to experience the sport of golf.

The day's rest time ended quickly, and the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals finally started, with Ajax visiting Anfield on March 1.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the two teams officially started the showdown in the holy land of Liverpool!

"You are now watching the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals this season. Liverpool won the first leg away from home. In the second leg, they will continue to aim to defeat Ajax at home."

"Ajax's mission is to achieve a comeback. Only a comeback can help them advance successfully. I believe Ten Hag is ready."

Ten Hag was indeed well prepared. He watched the entire League Cup final between Liverpool and Chelsea. What concerned him most was definitely Liverpool's driving and pressing tactics.

Ten Hag came with a plan to deal with it. He will be the second head coach to face Liverpool's driving tactics. Compared to Sarri, he feels he can cope with it well.

When interviewed by reporters before the game, Ten Hag's answer was also very clear.

"I heard that Klopp claimed in a recent interview that this was a driving and pressing tactic. I have never heard of this tactic. I think he created it himself and named it randomly."

"But I think this kind of pressing tactic is very chaotic, without rules and patterns. It shouldn't have made Chelsea so embarrassed. We will deal with it well. I don't think it is a threat."

"How do you explain the disastrous defeat in the first round?"

"I've said it before, that wasn't a crushing defeat, we had a lot of good chances in that game, just like we will have a lot of good chances in this game, as long as we seize them, we can lead Liverpool 3:0 or 4:0 and turn the tables!"

Ten Hag didn't actually say anything wrong, because he is the head coach of Ajax, so he must help the team build confidence.

If Ajax had doubted themselves and sighed before the game, how could they have advanced?

Therefore, Klopp did not make any comment on Ten Hag's statement. After all, Ten Hag was just fulfilling his duties as the head coach of Ajax.

But Ajax's performance against Liverpool's driving and pressing tactics was completely different from what Ten Hag described before the game.

Not only did they not handle it well, they handled it worse than Chelsea did.

On March 3, the quarter-finals started.

Liverpool started using a driving-and-pressing tactic at the start of the game and soon created opportunities.

The 6th minute of the game!

"The space behind Ajax has been driven very small. Onana is calling on his teammates to run, but where should they run?"

"It seems like every space available for running has been blocked by Liverpool players!"

"He has to be freed! Kick it!"

"De Jong and Rodri butted heads, and Rodri won the confrontation!"

"Lin Chen is sprinting, Joe Gomez makes a long pass!"

"It's a pity that the pass was too crooked. His offensive skills are indeed not as good as Arnold's."

"Arnold did not start this game. Joe Gomez continued to guard the right side for the team with his recent good defensive performance!"

Lin Chen waved his hand to indicate that there was no problem with Gomez's pass. Although the pass did not reach the target, it at least proved that the tactical thinking among Liverpool players is now at the same level. This way, Liverpool players can play more cooperation!

Immediately afterwards, Liverpool's pressure interrupted the central axis of Ajax and Chelsea!

Ajax also began to become chaotic, to put it simply, it was falling apart!

“I may not have understood it well enough in the last game, but now I feel like Liverpool’s tactics are just cramping and breaking bones!”

Gullit didn't know if his description was reasonable, but he felt that this was the fact.

"Many people may not realize how powerful this kind of pressure tactic is. In fact, when you face this kind of pressure on the court, you will feel its power!"

"The area in which Ajax can move is shrinking. For the first time, I feel that Onana will be threatened so much at his doorstep. It seems that he may be intercepted at any time and anywhere!"

Gullit felt the same way, and so did Onana. Known for his passing, he now didn't dare to let the ball stay under his feet for even one second longer.

The 29th minute of the game!

"De Jong barely passed the ball, Tadic protected the ball, and Van Dijk intercepted it from behind!"

"Tadic fell down, he brought down Van Dijk, the referee whistled a foul on Tadic!"

"Tadic seemed very unhappy with the decision. He felt that Van Dijk's first interception was a foul!"

Tadic was still angry, Van Dijk passed the ball quickly to Rodri, and Liverpool immediately launched an attack!

First, they started with a tactical move. This time it was initiated by Rodri, who made a beautiful long pass from the wing, giving Salah a chance to break through.

Then there was another change of tactics. With the help of Firmino and Lin Chen, Salah cut in from the right and passed the ball to Mane.

Mane received the pass from Salah and went to the bottom line, but Feltman found an opportunity and kicked the ball out of the baseline. Liverpool got the first corner kick!

Lin Chen walked towards the corner kick spot. Liverpool fans were very happy because they had held Ajax firmly!

"If this kind of pressing tactic continues to develop, Liverpool will play more mature and more formed, and it will be more powerful!"

"Obviously. This tactic is still in its early stages."

Gullit looked at Scholes, and he knew that the tactically savvy Scholes understood what he meant.

"Yes, if this continues, the consequences will be disastrous!"
