N-A-A Chapter 331
Chapter 331
"Conte is very smart. He knows that Chelsea is coming to challenge Liverpool away, so he has set a tactical tone of suppressing first and then boosting."
“We thought we could defend for the first 20 minutes. Even though we conceded a goal unexpectedly, now it’s their turn to explode!”
Coach Zhang quickly saw through Conte's intention, and Liverpool's formation on the field began to bear greater pressure.
But Liverpool still did not retreat, and the high-position defensive tactics were still in place.
The 29th minute of the game!
Lin Chen was always observing, because it was up to him to decide when to make positional moves in the midfield and backcourt.
Fabregas got the passing space under Bakayoko's cover, looked up for a moment, and then kicked the ball over the top!
Looking for Hazard!
The pass was extremely accurate!
But when Fabregas' left foot was about to touch the ball, Lin Chen suddenly shouted!
“Move!”
The entire Liverpool defense line with Lovren as the center took a step forward at the same time!
It was this step that put Hazard in an offside position in an instant!
Fabregas' pass immediately fell in front of Hazard, who got the ball as if he was in an empty space, had a one-on-one opportunity, broke into the penalty area and scored the ball.
But at this time the linesman raised the flag to indicate offside!
Hazard said nothing, he knew he was indeed offside.
"Lin Chen was directing Liverpool's offside tactics. It was a beautiful offside tactic that broke up Chelsea's potential counterattack opportunity!"
The live broadcast was replayed at this time, and the fans could clearly see that it was after Lin Chen shouted "Move" that Liverpool's defense line as a whole took a step forward.
Coach Zhan was a little surprised.
"I thought the high-position offside tactics would be directed by Lovren or Matip, but I didn't expect Klopp to give the command to Lin Chen."
"Lin Chen has always been the core of Liverpool's offensive tactics, and now he seems to have become the core of Liverpool's defense as well."
"Capable of attack and defense, is this an all-around midfielder?!"
Klopp gave him the choice because he saw Lin Chen's football IQ and broad vision.
He believed that Lin Chen could judge the best time to create offside based on actual circumstances.
After the game resumed, Chelsea continued to charge, but Liverpool still used excellent tactics to create joy.
The 36th minute of the game!
"Still a long pass to Giroud, head the ball!"
"Pretty!"
"Liverpool players are all raising their hands to indicate offside, and Hazard breaks into the penalty area!"
"Hit directly at a small angle!"
"It hit the side net, the ball didn't go in!"
"But the linesman raised his flag and Giroud was offside."
"This is the third time they were caught offside in the first half. Doesn't Conte consider changing his tactics? Judging from the current situation, long pass counterattacks are meaningless and ineffective."
"Because Liverpool have a very young commander."
"At the age of 17, you are already the chief commander in the Premier League. Can you handle it?"
"The faces of Chelsea fans in the live broadcast were full of disappointment. In fact, since the 18th round of this season, fans have been questioning Conte's tactics."
"When Conte first joined the team, he would play more complicated passes and cuts, but as the team lost hope of winning the championship, Conte's tactics began to become simpler."
"Most of them are long balls. These long balls pose no threat. They may be effective against weaker opponents, but they are meaningless against stronger opponents."
The live camera also frequently turned to Conte on the sidelines, because there were constant rumors that Chelsea would fire Conte after the end of this season.
"There have also been recent reports that Conte has had some conflicts with Chelsea chairman Abramovich, who believes that Abramovich has not given him the players he wants."
"But the players Conte wants are actually a bit strange. He always likes to buy those older center forwards. He likes to buy veterans and doesn't want those who are not old."
