Chapter 828

Bernardo Silva is trying hard to put pressure on Lin Chen!

But the harder he tried, the more Bernardo Silva felt like he was not putting pressure on Lin Chen, but on a spring.

It was obvious that he and his teammates were working together to suppress Lin Chen, but as the game went on, the pressure Lin Chen put on their team became greater and greater.

At first, Lin Chen didn't want to look for opportunities from the midfield, because Salah and Diaz on the wing have been in very good form recently. It would definitely be much easier for the two of them to find opportunities on the wing than in the middle!

But as Bernardo Silva and Foden kept putting pressure on him, Lin Chen got angry, very angry!

Guardiola actually thinks of himself as the player who needs to be targeted in Liverpool's lineup. Does this mean that he is easy to bully?

I have played for so many seasons, and you, Guardiola, still think I am easy to bully?

No, I have to prove myself today!

With this thought in mind, Lin Chen started his own journey of torture. The first player he wanted to torture was Foden.

In the past, I was always responsible for defending Foden. As long as Foden played in the middle, Klopp would arrange myself to defend Foden because it was difficult for other players to defend him.

Foden is very strong in dribbling, and his upper body does not seem to be coordinated. Every time he dribbles the ball, Foden's mouth and face seem to be exerting force, but by maintaining balance in this way, Foden can always control the ball.

McAllister has tried to rob Foden many times, but never succeeded!

In order to allow Foden to attack him, Lin Chen began to exchange positions with McAllister.

McAllister's position moved back, and the first step of Liverpool's defense in the entire midfield was completely handed over to Lin Chen. In this way, if Foden wanted to attack, he had to break through his own defense first.

The 35th minute of the game!

“Foden dribbles the ball through the middle, passes Gakpo and looks to have an easy time, keeps going forward and now it’s Lin defending him.”

After being dribbled past, Gakpo did not chase back because he had already seen Lin Chen running towards Foden. What he needed to do next was very simple. He just had to wait in the frontcourt for Foden to be intercepted, and then Lin Chen would naturally pass the ball to him!

Foden ran towards McAllister, but Lin Chen had already appeared on the side, forced his position, and used his physical advantage to squeeze directly in front of the ball, instantly gaining half control of the ball.

At this time, Foden's mouth and face began to exert force at the same time. His face looked a little ferocious. He stretched his legs desperately, trying to use his remaining half of control to protect the ball.

But Lin Chen continued to exert his strength, and this time he completely blocked Foden. After intercepting the ball, he passed it back to Van Dijk, who then passed it back to Lin Chen.

This kind of pass is to ensure that there are no players around that you have not observed, so as to avoid being suddenly intercepted by the opposing players!

And Van Dijk passed the ball back to him, which meant that he was safe from Van Dijk's perspective, so Lin Chen boldly turned with the ball. Every tactical pass of Liverpool seemed so professional!

Bernardo Silva chased Lin Chen, and Gundogan approached Lin Chen.

With Gundogan's help, Bernardo Silva ran faster and more relaxed, and even successfully entangled Lin Chen without the ball!

Lin Chen used his shoulders to win space for himself. Unlike the normal way of running with the ball, Lin Chen would push his shoulders forward with every step he took, using his shoulders to clear the way.

Bernardo Silva was pushed backwards by Lin Chen's shoulder, and then had to exert force to move forward. In this back-and-forth scramble, Bernardo Silva's physical strength declined rapidly, and the running that was originally somewhat easy gradually became difficult.
