Chapter 85 The sharpest spear, the toughest shield! (Ch 85)

“I’ll say it again, among the young midfielders in today’s football world, I only recognize Lin.” In the Sky Sports commentary room, Gerrard was patting his chest confidently and praising Lin Chen.

“How can you defend a shot like this?”

“The ball was so fast and powerful that I only saw a shadow flash into the net!”

“Liverpool extended the lead again, 3:0!”

Major live broadcast rooms.

“If this ball hits me, I will die right where I am!”

“As a Real Madrid fan, I feel extremely heartbroken when I think about this kind of midfielder in Liverpool!”

“As a Chelsea fan I’m not panicking at all, Kante will teach him a lesson!”

Coach Zhan also spoke at this time.

“In the 14th round of the Premier League, Liverpool will face Chelsea.”

“Chelsea has Kante, the best defensive midfielder in the Premier League. People say there are no obstacles in the world that cannot be overcome, only Kante.”

“One-on-one, no Premier League midfielder has ever been able to take advantage of Kante.”

At this time, Klopp made substitutions and replaced three main players.

Just three days later, Liverpool will face Bournemouth in the 13th round of the Premier League.

Klopp also played with a rotated lineup, and young player Ibe performed well and scored a goal.

Firmino came on as a substitute and added the icing on the cake, making the score 2:0.

Lin Chen, Salah, Mane and others did not appear on the field.

Klopp needs to fully prepare for the 14th round of the Premier League against Chelsea.

On November 8th, watch James before the Premier League game, a special pre-match analysis program directed by James.

“Another strong match. Although Chelsea failed to make the top four, the gap between them and the top four is not that big.”

“A win would see him move back up to fourth and Arsenal would drop down to fifth.”

“So Arsenal fans started cheering for Liverpool, and Manchester City fans became Chelsea fans.”

After winning two consecutive games again, after 13 rounds of games, Liverpool remained unbeaten with 12 wins and one draw, ranking first, followed by Manchester City with 12 wins and 1 loss.

Although Tottenham is still in third place, they are already running out of steam and their bench is clearly insufficient.

Arsenal still ranks fourth thanks to its strong resilience, but after being tied 1-1 by Hull City in the last round, Chelsea, who has one game less, will rise to fourth if they beat Liverpool.

Through Coach James’ analysis, fans have a clearer understanding of the current situation in the Premier League.

As the season is about to be halfway through, Liverpool has a good chance of winning the Premier League half-time championship, provided they can defeat strong opponents.

“After so many games, the Chelsea coach will definitely focus on studying Liverpool’s tactics, especially the key players in the team, such as Salah, Firmino, and Lin Chen.”

“Chelsea has Kante, and Lin Chen is the Premier League’s most powerful midfielder so far this season. It can be said that it is the Premier League’s sharpest spear facing the toughest shield.”

“Let’s wait and see who will win!”

Chelsea coach Conte, a guy with a strong personality, always has a grim look on his face on the sidelines.

When the team scores a goal, he becomes the most excited person in the world, no doubt about it.

Conte and his assistant coaching team repeatedly studied Liverpool’s tactics and made targeted defensive deployments for the team’s core players such as Lin Chen and Salah.

Whenever Conte watched Lin Chen’s game video, he always looked sad.

“If you say this guy didn’t take stimulants, I really don’t believe it.”

“He’s only 17 years old, and he’s a monster on the court. If you said he was 27, I wouldn’t doubt it at all.”

“But this handsome little face, which is a bit childish, is obviously only possessed by a 17-year-old. However, his muscles and collision ability…”

Whenever he thought of this, Conte always felt uncomfortable. Although he had Kante, for some reason he still had a trace of worry in his heart.

Klopp has been studying Chelsea’s tactical play. Under Conte’s leadership, Chelsea’s three central defenders have shown great vitality and performed well.

Especially during the team’s offense and defense transition time, Liverpool is very good at seizing the offense and defense transition opportunities after the opponent’s offense fails, while Chelsea is very good at seizing the offense and defense transition opportunities during the opponent’s offense and defense transition.

Like a Russian nesting doll, Chelsea’s three-center-back lineup has a natural advantage over Liverpool, so Klopp knows he must change his tactics.

November 19, pre-match tactical analysis.

“We still use super high pressure when attacking, add formation, and don’t give Chelsea any breathing space.”

“When defending, pay attention that we need to change our formation, with the two wingers dropping back to the midfield, the center forward dropping back, but the two midfielders pressing forward.”

When Klopp said this, Lin Chen already understood that he was trying to counter the double tower tactics in the midfield.

Through Firmino’s retreat, which acts as a fulcrum, and the two wingers who also retreat, three forwards form an organizational chain in the midfield.

The two midfielders then make a run from behind, using their height and sudden ability to catch their opponents off guard, thus creating space for the attack in the frontcourt.

At this time, three forwards followed up and formed a five-man offensive position in the frontcourt with the two midfielders who had already advanced, instantly gaining a numerical advantage in the attack and creating more shooting opportunities!

Klopp began to practice new tactics and the team actively prepared for the game. On November 11, the 14th round of the Premier League officially started.

All major live broadcast rooms opened early, and the Huaxia live broadcast room was surrounded by fans.

In the official poster posted by the Premier League, Liverpool’s player is Lin Chen, holding a red spear.

Chelsea’s player was Kante, holding a blue shield.

The two men’s eyes were flashing with lightning, sparks were coming out of their bodies, they confronted each other sharply and refused to give in!

Title: “Spear and shield, water and fire are incompatible!”

In the Hua Xia live broadcast room, it is still the duo commentary team that the fans love so much.

Coach Zhan took the documents handed to him by his assistant, drank the last sip of Dahongpao, straightened his clothes, and started the live broadcast.
