Chapter 823
Rodrigo watched the ball constantly swinging around Lin Chen's body. Every time he felt that he could touch the ball, but every time he dared to stretch his foot, he would not be able to touch the ball.
It was as if the ball did not exist in reality, or rather, the ball only existed when Lin Chen touched it, and when the other players wanted to touch the ball, they only touched a bunch of air.
Rodrigo could only grab Lin Chen, but Lin Chen was still dribbling the ball, as if he didn't feel Rodrigo's pull at all, and kept moving the ball forward in the midfield.
At this time, Rafinha also began to pull Lin Chen, and the two worked together and finally made Lin Chen stop dribbling the ball.
At this moment, the fans at the scene suddenly began to applaud, as if what they had just seen was not a football match, but a symphony, a symphony played by Lin Chen!
"I must say, I was intoxicated just now, really."
"I was so intoxicated that when Lin was in the midfield, other players couldn't even touch the ball and he didn't need any help from his teammates!"
This was the first time that Rivaldo said that he did not need help from his teammates. For a football player, this kind of statement should never be made.
But Rivaldo felt that it was very appropriate for him to say this, because Lin Chen had just proved what he said with his performance!
Leeds United, who insisted on attacking, has fallen into a very struggling situation. They want to attack but cannot break through Lin Chen's dribbling defense.
Lin Chen built a defensive wall called rhythm in the midfield by dribbling the ball. This defensive wall does not require many players to join, only Lin Chen dribbling the ball.
Lin Chen disrupted Leeds United's offensive rhythm by changing the rhythm, forcing Leeds United's players to join in his rhythm in order to defend themselves, making Leeds United completely forget what their original offensive method was.
The first half of the game also ended with Lin Chen's dribbling rhythm.
The fans watched Lin Chen walk back to the locker room, watched Klopp and others waiting at the entrance, waiting for Lin Chen to go back to the locker room together, watched all the Liverpool players take the initiative to approach Lin Chen and walk beside Lin Chen. Leeds United knew that their team had already exerted 100% of their ability on this field.
The team fell behind only because Lin Chen's performance was so good.
This was the first time that at halftime there was no goal highlights shown, but instead a player's dribbling highlights were played.
Neither Gullit, Scholes nor Rivaldo said anything, they just focused on watching the dribbling highlights.
"My dribbling was indeed very strong at the time, at least many fans said so, but I only now realize that as a central midfielder, my dribbling may have a lot of room for further development, but I didn't think of it at the time."
"If I could see the way Lin dribbles the ball now, I could feel the rhythm of his dribbling on the field, I think I would have performed better in the attacking midfielder position!"
All the fans did not expect that after watching Lin Chen's dribbling, Rivaldo would actually say such heartfelt words.
"Leeds United, I respect your style of play, but don't attack with all your might in the second half. Counterattack like other teams do in the past. You should still have a chance to at least score a goal in Liverpool's goal."
"Rodrigo has never been so tired defending a player before, but in this game Rodrigo completely gave up playing as a front midfielder or center forward, and just regarded himself as a defensive player in the midfield, and only fought with all his strength to defend Lin Chen!"
"Every season I've thought that the emergence of a monster like Lin in football must be to allow new monsters to emerge among the young people who can compete with Lin, but until now, these players have not appeared."
