Chapter 686
"The German team is now lacking a center forward, which has led to the German team's offense not being able to play well."
"Throughout the first half, they relied almost entirely on the performance of Musiala and Kroos. Gosens also performed well, but he had no good way to deal with Gaya."
Stam still believes that Loew's offense needs adjustment.
Löw is still thinking about it, but the 15 minutes in the midfield did not allow Löw to figure out how to make the German team play a more effective attack without a strong center forward!
Instead, Hierro and Zabia came up with a new offensive tactic during the 15 minutes in the midfield based on the gaps of Goretzka and Kimmich that Lin Chen observed in the first half!
56th minute of the second half of the European Cup match!
Rodri completely regarded the left side of the German team as his home. Oyarzabal continued to attack Gosens, giving Rodri many passing opportunities.
Whenever Rodri passes the ball, he always passes it to Lin Chen.
Whenever Lin Chen received the ball, he would cut inside the midfield and then pass the ball to Sarabia.
Although Kimmich is now prepared, if Kimmich goes to defend Sarabia, Lin Chen will first pass the ball to Saul, and Saul and Alba will attack Kroos together.
When Kroos can no longer withstand the simultaneous attack of the two players and Kimmich is forced to step forward to help defend, Saul will pass the ball back to Lin Chen.
Although Musiala and Goretzka have been trying hard to stop Lin Chen from passing the ball to Sarabia, neither of them succeeded once!
Alba and Saul's skillful cooperation made it difficult for Kroos and Kimmich.
Lin Chen looked for Sarabia again and again, and such a clear passing target made it extremely difficult for the German team to defend!
"If Spain keeps passing the ball like this, Kimmich will be caught by Sarabia in a second chance sooner or later. Neuer's right side is too empty!"
"And Spain's attacking style made it impossible for the German team to launch any attack at all."
"Musiala was very active in the first half, but in the second half he almost disappeared from the German team's offense in order to defend Lin!"
This was the first time Musiala had to work so hard to defend a player.
Lin Chen didn't do anything else but cut inside and passed the ball directly to Saravia.
It was this fixed two-step dribbling and passing that made Musiala unable to defend!
The 68th minute of the game!
Rodri and Oyarzabal attacked Gosens again, and this time it was Rodri's pass that allowed Oyarzabal to find a chance to cross!
Oyarzabal immediately made a cross, still trying to assist Sarabia.
Rudiger clears the ball early!
But Saul got the ball and passed it to Lin Chen again!
Musiala immediately rushed to grab the ball!
Lin Chen still chose to cut inside, passed Musiala and then passed the ball directly to Sarabia!
Due to being frequently besieged, the German team's right side was finally breached!
At the same place and in the same way, Sarabia once again broke through the German team's goal!
"Spain beat Germany 3-0!"
"It looks like another outstanding midfielder is leaving the European Cup. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Musiala to reach the semi-finals of the European Cup with the German team!"
Löw replaced Havertz with a disappointed expression and sent on Gundogan!
"If they are eliminated, Loew's coaching career as Germany's national team will probably be over."
"He has had a successful experience with the German team, but that experience will not allow Loew to keep his position as coach forever!"
From then on, the German team was constantly exploited by Spain because of this point and eventually lost the game!
Spain advances to the European Cup semi-finals!
Although many outstanding midfielders have left, Lin Chen has not left yet!
On the night that the German team lost the game, Loew was dismissed by the German Football Association.
The day after Spain beat Germany.
"Now all the quarter-finals of the European Cup have ended, and the European Cup Popularity King selection has also ended. I wonder who each legend has voted for with his five popularity votes?"
Gullit was very interested in Stam's vote, and Stam directly stated that he would definitely vote for the defender because he used to be a defender!
"I have always felt that many of the current football selections are very unfair to defenders!"
"So I voted for Dutch defender Van Dijk with all five of my votes. I'm very happy to see that he finally ranked third in the European Cup popularity list, only behind Lin and Ronaldo!"
Gullit also supports Van Dijk, who also played as a defender for the Netherlands!
"I knew Stam would make the same choice as me. I also voted for Van Dijk!"
"Scholes, you will definitely vote for the midfielder!"
Scholes used to play midfield in England, and this time he left some of the tickets for Lin Chen.
"I really wanted to give all five of my votes to Grealish, I thought he played really well, but I gave two to Lin."
Fans who have already cast their popularity votes in the live broadcast room are also sending out their voting players. Among them, Lin Chen and Ronaldo’s names are very popular, and Van Dijk, Kane and others are also not a few!
Gullit will announce the confirmed European popularity list!
"After the final popularity vote competition, Lin is the most popular person in this European Cup!"
"I am quite satisfied with this result. He is indeed a very popular player now!"
After becoming the most popular player in the European Cup, Liverpool fans also turned on the live broadcast. After the result of the most popular player in the European Cup was announced, they quickly launched a statue in the square in Liverpool!
This statue does not come from any organization, but is made by Liverpool fans themselves!
The president of the Liverpool Fans' Association pushed the statue onto Liverpool Street, and Liverpool fans were watching nearby. They had already started shouting the name of the owner of the statue!
"We have been preparing for this event for a long time, and Lin just happened to become a popular star in Europe."
"So we are going to unveil this statue today, made by all Liverpool fans, and it will be on Liverpool Street forever!"
Lin Chen also entered the live broadcast room to watch at this time, and was surrounded by Spanish teammates!
As the curtain on the statue slowly drew down, Lin Chen's statue immediately appeared on Liverpool Street, triggering cheers!
Rodri stared at the statue.
"You can make fans willingly make a statue for you. I will start to envy you when I lie in bed tonight!"
