Chapter 750
"Conte certainly didn't expect that after preparing for so long, Sanchez would help Lin Chen score first. What should Tottenham do now?"
"I thought of the time when Conte was still coaching Chelsea and he also faced Liverpool. At that time, Lin Chen was not as famous as he is now, but he was also a pretty good star."
"In that game, Conte's tactic was to give Lin Chen space to use his left foot. It was also in that game that people knew that Lin Chen was not only good with his right foot, but also with his left foot!"
Conte recalled the days he spent at Chelsea. After leaving Chelsea, what made Conte happiest was that he no longer had to face Lin Chen in the Premier League. But now that he is coaching Tottenham, facing Lin Chen is something Conte cannot avoid.
After the start of the game, Tottenham's offense still looked for opportunities from the double-back system with five defenders.
Both Sessegnon and Emosson are very fast. Ali will pass the ball with advance time to Sessegnon in the midfield. After Sessegnon rushes up, he will pass the ball directly to the middle or directly to Son Heung-min.
Son Heung-min and Kane have different playing styles.
"Although Son Heung-min and Kane started at the same time, they have different playing styles at the center position. Kane needs the ball to be sent to a place where he can shoot or pass directly, while Son Heung-min will pull to the side to support!"
"So Liverpool's two central defenders must also have a clear division of labor. From the current situation, it should be Gvardiol and Arnold defending Son Heung-min together, while Konate defends Kane."
Compared with Gvardiol, Konate's defensive style is more suitable for defending Kane.
The 16th minute of the game!
"Sanchez dribbled forward, did he want to create a goal for the team?"
"Pass to Winks, Sanchez is still running forward."
"Back to Sanchez, Ndombele continues to cover for Sanchez. As an offensive player who suddenly rushes up, Sanchez is now dribbling the ball smoothly!"
Sanchez dribbled hard and eventually passed the ball to Kane.
When Kane received the ball, he stopped it first and wanted to pass it back to Ali for a behind-the-back pass, but Konate not only instantly blocked Kane from behind, he also stood behind Kane to defend in an extremely clever way.
Then, Konate was suddenly knocked to the ground by Kane who turned around!
The referee believed that Kane committed a foul because his shoulder hit Konate's chin!
"Referee, he put his chin behind my shoulder on purpose, I didn't mean to hit him!"
Kane didn't understand, but the referee gave him an explanation.
"Are you saying that he went through so much trouble just to have his chin hit by your shoulder? Kane, you did commit a foul!"
Konate stood up at this time, calmly and unhurriedly. This is Konate's defensive style.
Not only is he strong, but Konate is also playing smarter in Liverpool. Often having meals with Lin Chen on weekdays has indeed helped Konate.
If Kane can't open up the situation, he can only look for opportunities from Son Heung-min!
In the 22nd minute of the game, Sanchez eagerly sent a long pass to the left. Now Sanchez has become the player in Tottenham who most wants to attack!
It may be because Sanchez has heard about Conte's temper, and because he has just taken office and Conte is in a critical period of selecting the team lineup.
His performance of assisting Lin Chen is equivalent to telling Conte not to send me to the next game. Sanchez hopes that he can continue to start for Tottenham!
Son Heung-min received the pass from Sanchez and immediately pulled past Arnold. He wanted to continue breaking through, but Gvardiol arrived from the side.
Gvardiol did not stretch his legs or rush forward to steal the ball, but blocked Son Heung-min's cross space and gave Son Heung-min the opportunity to continue breaking through.
