Chapter 605
Another lucky fan was favored, and this fan was a neutral fan who supported neither Liverpool nor Barcelona.
"I am an Ajax fan. I witnessed Liverpool eliminate my beloved team, so I hope Liverpool can continue to move forward with Ajax's efforts!"
"At the same time I want to take this opportunity to express my respect for Lin, who I think is the best player in the Champions League so far."
"He will be a strong contender for the Champions League's best player, and he will also be a strong contender for the European Player of the Season!"
The fan mentioned Lin Chen, and Gullit took the opportunity to praise Lin Chen who scored two goals in the first half.
"The two goals in the first half were not difficult to score, but the difficulty lies in the fact that Lin can score such goals stably, which is a disguised manifestation of his goal efficiency."
"Not all professional players can seize good opportunities. There are actually quite a few players in the current football world who easily miss great opportunities. Therefore, it is not easy for Lin Chen to actually turn these opportunities into goals!"
The spectators outside the stadium were very relaxed, but the players on both sides could not relax. Zabia was arranging further defensive tactics.
"Remember, after the second half starts, we have to save every ball!"
"Whether the ball is about to go out of bounds, or you feel that the ball is out of your control, even if the chance of you saving the ball is small, as long as the ball can belong to us after saving it, you have to do your best to rush to the last second!"
Zabia found that there were many cases of the ball going out of bounds in the first half of the match against Barcelona. In order to slow down the pace of the game, Liverpool players did not handle some out-of-bounds balls that they had the opportunity to compete for correctly, but let them roll out of bounds. This made Liverpool's offensive rhythm inconsistent to a certain extent.
On the other side, Barcelona also changed its formation. Vidal came on as a substitute for Ousmane Dembele, a center forward was removed and replaced by a midfielder, Coutinho started to play as left winger, and Barcelona returned to its best 433 formation.
The second half of the Champions League semi-final continued. After Barcelona changed its formation, they began to actively attack, but it was still difficult to play smooth cooperation.
Liverpool's pressing began to become more and more intense, which led to more and more battles between Barcelona and Liverpool.
The 52th minute of the game!
As soon as Coutinho stopped the ball, Joe Gomez rushed up, made a violent steal and passed it to Salah from the wing.
Salah cleverly turned and dribbled past Alba, then passed a long arc ball to Mane!
This is a curve ball hit with the outside of the foot using great force!
Mane tried his best to rush to the back post. Just as Zabia said in the midfield, he felt that he could not catch up, but he still rushed towards the ball!
Then Mane flew over and swung his leg, instantly kicking the ball that was already on the white line towards the middle!
Firmino heads the ball in front of the goal!
But he was unlucky and the ball hit the goal post!
Just when Firmino was about to express regret, Lin Chen appeared!
“Make up shot!!!”
“Three elements in one!!!”
"OOOOOHHHH!!!!"
"Here comes the third one! Lin Chen's third goal!"
"Mane's save at the baseline was so beautiful!"
"From the angle of the live camera, the ball was already on the white line, but it was not out of bounds. It was on the line and it was considered in bounds. Then Mane kicked the ball into the penalty area!"
"Firmino's first header hit the post, but Lin Chen made a follow-up shot and scored his third goal!"
"In this Champions League semi-final first leg, Liverpool beat Barcelona to a standstill. Barcelona, which is in the process of transition between the old and the new, is indeed at a disadvantage facing the young and well-integrated Liverpool. At least in terms of tactical performance, the gap between them is obvious."
