Chapter 788
Looking at the other players, Havertz was the key defensive target of the German team in the match against Spain. Havertz didn't get many offensive opportunities in that European Cup match. Lin Chen remembered it very clearly.
Then Lin Chen began to direct his teammates. Lin Chen seldom did this in previous games, and seldom told his teammates the weaknesses of each opposing player as clearly as he did now, because the opposing players could understand what Lin Chen said.
"Van Dijk, if Havertz wants to receive the ball, you have to use your body. If there is a confrontation, it will be difficult for him to hold the ball!"
"Rodri, don't worry about Kante, he sometimes dribbles the ball but that's not real, you just need to keep an eye on Kovacic, he loves to push forward!"
"McAllister, you can't stand behind Pulisic when defending him, he likes to let the ball chase him, so you have to intercept him in advance!"
"Gvardiol, pay attention to defending Mount. I would rather his presence is always low, but he sometimes makes good attacks."
"Soboslai, whenever Rudiger has the ball, you should go up and press him, and it's best not to let him use high kicks."
"Robertson, Azpilicueta sometimes attacks, defend him well, I love this guy!"
When Azpilicueta heard Lin Chen talking about himself, he smiled and made a dancing gesture towards Lin Chen. When Spain won the championship in the past, Azpilicueta liked to dance this kind of dance with Lin Chen!
Tuchel stood on the sidelines, listening to every word Lin Chen said, and then Liverpool became visibly more confident, because Lin Chen's attitude was that of a true winner.
Tuchel found that from the starting lineup to the substitutes, it seemed that every player on his team had been defeated by Lin Chen.
How to kick this?
You came up with this kind of attitude and said this kind of words, and made people believe it. How can Chelsea play in the League Cup final?
What Lin Chen said was not only remembered by Liverpool players, but also by every Chelsea player.
After the opposing captain says these words, you will definitely think about how you lost to him in the past.
Havertz suddenly felt that he had no chance of winning against Van Dijk, and the momentum of Chelsea players suddenly weakened a lot!
17th minute of the League Cup final!
Havertz ran towards the midfield, and Tuchel asked him to connect with the defender. Rudiger always raised his legs a little high when dribbling the ball!
The ball was passed to Azpilicueta, who, as a champion player, played more calmly and passed the ball to Kovacic after seeing the opportunity.
Kante really started running, but Rodri ignored him, McAllister defended Pulisic, Mount started to receive the ball, Kovacic wanted to advance, but it was difficult to break through facing Rodri, so he could only pass the ball to Pulisic!
Pulisic ran forward as usual and let the ball chase him, but McAllister immediately stepped forward to intercept the ball. Mount, who was about to receive the ball, failed to connect with Pulisic, and Liverpool launched a counterattack through McAllister!
Azpilicueta kept a close eye on Diaz, while Soboslai broke away from Rudiger and began to retreat.
After receiving the pass from Xiaomai, Lin Chen passed it to Salah. Salah chose to advance with the ball. At this time, Soboslai started to work with Salah again, and they both attacked Rudiger at the same time!
With Kante’s return, Thiago Silva began to move closer to Rudiger to help him defend, but Rudiger’s size gave him no advantage against Salah on the wing.
Chelsea's advantage can only be reflected through defense.
Thiago Silva is the best performing player in Chelsea's defense this season. At this moment, Thiago Silva is paying attention to Rudiger and Soboslai at the same time!
At this time, Lin Chen sprinted past Azpilicueta and hid behind Thiago Silva!
When a player like Lin Chen runs behind you, you will definitely be worried because you don’t know what Lin Chen is going to do!
Salah then cut inside, broke through Rudiger and got the chance.
Thiago Silva could only solve Salah's problem first, but Lin Chen returned from the offside position to the on-side position.
Salah didn't intend to shoot, he just passed the ball to Soboslai again.
Lin Chen still needs some time, and if he suddenly retreats from an offside position to receive the ball, he may be penalized for offside.
Therefore, after the ball passed from Soboslai's feet, it fully attracted Thiago Silva to steal the ball.
Even Edouard Mendy saw that Lin Chen was about to receive the ball, but Chalobah did not.
When Soboslai passed the ball to Lin Chen, Lin Chen found that there was no one in front of him and Chalobah did not come to defend him!
He didn't just miss the man, he was even guarding Diaz!
Looking at Edouard Mendy, Lin Chen used the simplest way of pushing the ball into the goal!
No other unnecessary actions are required!
"Chalobah didn't miss the ball, he even misjudged the defensive target."
"As a central defender, shouldn't you take care of the offensive players in the penalty area first?"
"He actually went to defend Diaz first!"
"Lin Chen scored again in the Carabao Cup final. I don't know how many times he has scored in the Carabao Cup final, but in every final before, as long as Lin Chen scored, Liverpool never lost!"
Azpilicueta approached Chalobah and tried to sober him up.
When you try your best to defend, but you see that your teammates not only don’t know who to defend, but even think they have not made any mistakes when they defend the wrong target, it will only make you not know how to continue playing in the final.
Azpilicueta didn't even want to continue to believe in Chalobah. Thiago Silva was the only sober player in Chelsea's defense, but how could you defend all Liverpool's offensive players alone?
"Liverpool can continue to use this kind of attack to make Chelsea lose the ball. Chalobah can't defend Lin. He needs the help of his teammates. I think Kante can only focus on defense and can't attack anymore!"
