Chapter 405: FA Cup Battle! I Want to Capture the Fourth Official! (Ch 405)

“When you see Brighton, you must not think they are weak because they can beat you at any time.”

“You can’t think they are strong because they can lose to any team at any time. That’s why Brighton is in 10th place in the league this season.”

“Every time I thought they were going to lose, then Brighton got the three points, but then I thought Brighton were going to win and they threw the three points away.

“This may be related to their fluctuating strength, or the unstable state of their substitutes.”

“But they reached the FA Cup final this season, which at least allows them to compete for the championship. For Brighton’s recent investment, it is very difficult to compete for the championship.”

On May 26, the FA Cup final between Brighton and Liverpool.

Scholes looked at Brighton’s past few FA Cup games. He wanted to laugh, but Gullit was already laughing.

“We won against Fulham on penalties, and then we beat Arsenal 1-0.”

“They then went to penalties against Burnley and then beat Manchester City 1-0.”

“That’s what Scholes said just now. No one knows whether Brighton can be considered a strong team now. However, under the leadership of a coach who is good at controlling the ball, its reputation is growing, and many fans are beginning to like this team!”

Potter, the current head coach of Brighton, has many teams that have taken a fancy to his coaching ability.

“If he can lead Brighton to win the FA Cup, Potter is likely to coach a top team next season. Brighton knows they can’t keep Potter. Chelsea, Juventus and many other teams are interested in Potter.”

Fans think Liverpool will beat Brighton, but considering that Brighton had defeated Arsenal and Manchester City consecutively, both by one goal, many fans think that Brighton may beat Liverpool 1-0 in the final.

“Since they were able to beat Manchester City by one goal and then eliminated Arsenal with the same score, is it possible for them to beat Liverpool with the same score and win the championship!”

“Brighton still has the potential to fight, but I don’t know what tactics Liverpool will use to deal with the Seagulls!”

“I used to think Klopp would attack, but now I can’t see through Klopp. Since Zabia came, I can’t see what these three coaches are thinking every day.”

The three coaches are now in the Liverpool locker room, Zabia is hugging Rodri, Kravitz is hugging Wijnaldum, and Klopp is hugging Robertson.

Yes, all three players will not play.

“I tell you, even though you are a substitute in this final, once you come on the field, you will catch Brighton off guard!”

“Yes, we plan to let you recuperate first, and when you come on the court, you must make Brighton lose the ball!”

“Let me tell you, our tactics this time are incredible. You wait on the bench first. I will give you the ultimate mission at any time.”

At this time, Liverpool’s three coaches were informing the three players in this way that they would not start in this final.

Because Klopp will play a more unprecedented formation in this final, which Klopp has never used before.

A few minutes later, Liverpool’s starting lineup appeared in the live broadcast room.

Gullit and Scholes looked at Liverpool’s lineup and started a discussion, but whether it was 343, 433, or any other regular formation, Gullit couldn’t divide Liverpool’s players accurately.

“The front line led by Salah will definitely be used as before, but why do you let Shaqiri play as well?”

“Van Dijk, Matip and Lovren all played, with only Lin and Henderson in the midfield. Since Joe Gomez started, he should play as a left midfielder as before.”

“So judging from this, one of Salah and Shaqiri will play as a right-back.”

Gullit actually agreed with Ashley Cole’s explanation this time.

In a stadium filled with English fans, Brighton and Liverpool have already started.

As Zabia applauded, the game began and Porter immediately directed the players to pass the ball.

“Brighton’s current style is to pass and control. In the past, people said that teams that are not strong enough cannot play passing and controlling tactics, but Potter made Brighton play the passing and controlling tactics very well.”

“Liverpool’s frontcourt is not a normal press, Firmino is close to Mane, Shaqiri and Salah press Liverpool together, they have four forwards in the frontcourt!”

“Henderson is on the right side of Lin Chen, Joe Gomez is on the left side of Lin Chen, with Matip and Van Dijk behind him, and Lovren’s position is a bit strange!”

“Henderson’s position is deeper, Lin Chen is closer to Joe Gomez, and Lovren is more like a deep-lying central defender, he and Alisson are very close.

“Liverpool were like a piece of gummy bear on the field, a piece of gummy bear that was stretched out!”

Every time Shaqiri rushed forward to press, it was like one end of a gummy bear being pulled apart, and every time Lovren fell back, it was like the other end of the gummy bear being pulled apart.

13th minute of the game!

Shaqiri’s forward movement is quite interesting. Lin Chen ran behind him and laughed, because Shaqiri has a lot of muscles and he needs to work hard to coordinate the speed and rhythm of his body when pressing.

Liverpool’s pressure was not to drive away the pressure, but to circle quickly like a rainbow candy pulled out of the mouth, and then wrap around Brighton’s defenders!

“This oppression is interesting!”

“Matthew Ryan passed the ball to Montoya, Bissouma received it and passed it to Dunk.”

“Braden’s passing and control are really good right now!”

Dunk received the ball and was about to pass it to Bernardo, but Shaqiri appeared!

Immediately changing the direction of the pass, Dunk wanted to pass it to Duffy, but Salah also appeared!

Helplessly, Dunk could only look for Propper. When he passed the ball, he did not see any Liverpool player who could intercept his pass, but after he passed it, Lin Chen, who had been following Shaqiri, ran and intercepted the ball!

“Lin Chen blocked Dunk’s pass!”

“Liverpool’s movement was so good, they seemed to know how Brighton would pass the ball next!”

Lin Chen ran to intercept the ball and pushed it directly to the middle.

Joe Gomez received the ball and passed it to Firmino!

Montoya then discovered that Firmino had unexpectedly run to a position slightly in front of his body!

After Firmino received the ball, Montoya rushed forward to grab the ball, but Mane paused for a moment as if he was lying on Montoya’s back, and then started immediately!

And what started with Mane was the pass from Firmino!

Brighton’s defense was destroyed!
