Chapter 829
Only then did Lin Chen continue to accelerate and get rid of Bernardo Silva.
Stephen was already concentrating. Before the game started, Ederson had told him that as long as Lin Chen brought the ball to a position where he felt was dangerous, he must be ready to save the ball.
Yes, Edson meant that Lin Chen was not restricted by shooting range.
If you were a goalkeeper, standing in front of the goal and watching Lin Chen's movements, and could sense a hint of danger in your heart, then you must be ready to save the ball at any time!
After passing Bernardo Silva, Lin Chen first glanced at Stephen and found that he was well prepared, so he did not shoot, but suddenly slowed down and controlled the rhythm.
After controlling for two steps, Lin Chen suddenly accelerated again, got rid of Gundogan, and then passed the ball to Salah!
Salah dribbled the ball towards Zinchenko on the right, did a bicycle kick, and then cut inside and rushed into the Manchester City penalty area!
Zinchenko was completely unable to play any defensive role against Salah!
Lin Chen ran into the penalty area again at this time. Stones could only approach Lin Chen, and Salah took this opportunity to shoot directly!
Stephen never expected that Salah could shoot close to the goal post at such an angle, so he could only dive sideways towards the goal post. However, because his speed was not fast enough, Stephen failed to protect the near corner of the goal, and Salah successfully scored!
"Beautiful goal by Salah!!!"
"This is Salah's ability!"
"This is what Salah does best on the right wing!"
"Manchester City let Zinchenko defend him, it must be difficult to defend him!"
"Lin's breakthrough in the middle allowed Salah to successfully get rid of Stones. This is what a midfielder should do. When you are needed to organize, you must be able to stand up and help the team break through in the midfield. When your teammates need space to attack, you can rush into the penalty area and create space for him next to your teammates!"
Guardiola could only sigh on the sidelines.
My original idea was to suppress the midfield and prevent Liverpool from taking the initiative to attack at the beginning of the game.
But Lin Chen actually broke through Bernardo Silva in the middle, and then broke Stones' defense, helping Salah to score a goal.
At this time, Guardiola suddenly called Bernardo Silva to his side, and then said a few words to Bernardo Silva, who quickly ran back to the court and the game continued.
Manchester City's midfield is still trying to suppress Lin Chen. Although it is difficult to do, this is the head coach's tactic!
After scoring the goal, Liverpool followed the example of Manchester City. Lin Chen also began to exert pressure in the midfield, and together with McAllister, he suppressed Gundogan.
Bernardo Silva started to dribble the ball for Manchester City's midfield more often. After Gundogan was suppressed, Bernardo Silva dribbled the ball for a long time but did not have any good opportunities.
Because Bernardo Silva is not good at passing the ball forward, he is more suitable for dribbling the ball and passing it to his teammates!
As a result, Manchester City's midfield lost its passing point. Grealish and Jesus ran in the frontcourt for a long time, but most of the time they couldn't catch the ball!
Manchester City fans knew that it would be difficult for them to equalize the score in the first half.
"This is the FA Cup final, Manchester City must not continue to play like this, otherwise Liverpool will only win the second championship trophy!"
"I really think that all the players in the world who like to play in the midfield should take a good look at how Lin plays in the midfield!"
"The most amazing thing about Lin is that he plays in the midfield differently from all the previous midfielders. He did not learn the playing style of any previous midfielder, but used his own ability to play in the midfield in his own style!"
"If you can combine Gundogan's passing with Bernardo Silva's dribbling, add Fernandinho's defense on the bench, and add a little bit of Foden's dribbling and through passes, such a midfielder should be very strong!"
