Chapter 810
"The next video you see is the FA Cup semi-final video. You can see how Manchester United defended Lin. They let Matic defend head-on, and then sent Jesse Lingard and other players to interfere. This defensive method distracted Lin from defending other players, allowing Bruno Fernandes to get rid of Lin's defense."
"But the final result was that Manchester United lost miserably to Liverpool, because Liverpool's lineup did not only have Lin, but also many other players who could play a very important role."
"So in this match, Calhanoglu has to take the initiative to confront Lin in the midfield, Brozovic doesn't have to worry about Lin, you have to be responsible for confronting McAllister."
"Perisic needs to attack as much as possible on the wing and break through Arnold. Later, the assistant coach will let you watch the video of Sancho breaking through Arnold repeatedly!"
Inzaghi has assigned all defensive tasks to the midfield. Calhanoglu, Brozovic and Vidal will help the team defend Liverpool in the midfield to reduce the pressure on De Vrij and Bastoni.
"Skrignar, your task is to defend Rojas! Dumfries will defend Dias alone. Dumfries, you definitely have the ability to defend Dias alone!"
Inzaghi is not worried about Inter Milan's flanks, the only thing he is worried about is the midfield!
Liverpool's preparations for the match were also focused on midfield, with McAllister and Rodri's playing styles becoming more or less fixed in previous games.
Klopp knows that once the playing tactics are fixed, it will bring certain benefits, but the opposing coach will also find opportunities to break through, so Liverpool has to change its formation in this second round of the Champions League!
If Inter Milan fails to beat Liverpool in the second leg, they will be eliminated from the Champions League.
Although being eliminated by Liverpool this season will not make Inzaghi Jr. face doubts from fans, as a young coach, Inzaghi Jr. dreams of winning the Champions League.
On February 2, Liverpool's Anfield Stadium was once again filled with fans.
Inter Milan entered the locker room ten minutes earlier than Liverpool, while Liverpool's players were preparing calmly.
"Dear fans, the second round of the Champions League will begin soon."
"Inter Milan's lineup is still strong, and Liverpool has also started many main players. Both sides attach great importance to this Champions League second round battle!"
As the captain of Liverpool, Lin Chen was standing in the player tunnel and chatting with Inter Milan players.
Lin Chen sat on the steps of the player tunnel. Inter Milan players surrounded Lin Chen and they were chatting happily.
The referee quickly got ready. Inter Milan stepped into Anfield and felt the atmosphere here.
When cheers rang out at Anfield, it meant the game had begun!
Inter Milan quickly retreated and Liverpool kicked off!
After Lin Chen received the pass from Nunez, he wanted to pass it to McAllister in order to avoid Inter Milan's pressing at the beginning of the game. However, no push occurred and Inter Milan players retreated to the midfield line!
"After the game started, Inter Milan players first moved their midfield line backwards, which should be to defend Lin and McAllister!"
McAllister walked forward calmly, Brozovic stayed close to him, and Vidal stared at Diaz.
Inzaghi has discovered that although Lin is very strong in the middle, Dias on the left will also allow Liverpool to get many opportunities in the penalty area!
"Inter Milan has been focusing on defending Dias since the opening. This tactic is correct. Dias will help Liverpool players score in the penalty area."
Lin Chen dribbled the ball, constantly changing the direction of the ball to get rid of Calhanoglu. Calhanoglu really couldn't defend Lin alone, but Bastoni would help him!
