Chapter 168
Fabregas looked at Lin Chen more than once, and the more he looked, the more uneasy he felt.
He didn't dare to turn around with the ball to launch an attack, because he didn't know when Lin Chen would suddenly appear and give him a fatal blow.
If the middle road can't operate, the whole team will be paralyzed. He who controls the midfield controls the world. This sentence is not just talk.
"The football world says that he who controls the midfield controls the world, because the midfield is the hub of the whole team and is responsible for connecting the upper and lower parts."
"For example, if your friend asks you if you want to rob a bank, your original answer is that I don't want to do it, but if you remove the two words that are responsible for connecting the upper and lower parts in the middle, the meaning expressed is completely different."
"Chelsea is now in a difficult situation. Their three-center-back system should rely on the pass of midfielder Fabregas to form a threat."
"But facing the high-pressure Lin Chen, Fabregas couldn't even lift his head, let alone observe the passing route."
As the midfield formation pressed forward, Chelsea's formation retreated further and further, gradually losing the initiative.
Liverpool gained both the offensive rhythm and ball possession rate. Liverpool took over the game and pressed Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
70th minute of the game!
"After a long attack, there will be gains. Chelsea's formation was very flat, and even the forward line retreated to the vicinity of the midfield line."
"Hazard is not a shadow striker at all. He even played as a midfielder and passively participated in defense."
"Liverpool's central defenders all took the ball to the vicinity of the midfield line to organize the attack. This is the ultimate form of super high pressure!"
"The sense of death permeated the entire Chelsea half. I even felt that this game became a half-court offense and defense!"
As he was speaking, Joe Gomez received the ball from the wing and passed it to the middle.
Henderson received the ball and turned around, and quickly passed it to Wijnaldum, who controlled the ball with his long legs.
A sudden stop and change of direction, shaking out space to pass Fabregas.
Immediately pushed to the left, Moreno rarely joined the attack and swept to the middle!
Lin Chen at the top of the penalty area half-turned to meet the pass, and knocked the ball past Kante with his heel!
Then he lightly touched the ball to the right with his toes, and Salah pressed forward to counter the offside successfully, breaking into the penalty area to form a single shot!
Facing the attacking Courtois, he raised his foot and shot, hitting his small door!
The ball went into the net, and Courtois's crotch was penetrated!
"The second one!!!"
"They scored again! They will win!"
"Lin Chen assisted Salah to score the second goal, leading by two goals!"
"Liverpool is already two goals ahead of Chelsea! It looks like they are about to advance to the FA Cup quarterfinals!"
Salah scored a goal and rushed to the sidelines to stand on one leg, which is his favorite celebration action recently.
Lin Chen arrived behind him, and Firmino and others also did the celebration action of standing on one leg!
Chelsea seemed to have lost the desire to win, and began to become lost after the second goal was scored.
After the game resumed, Chelsea played in a daze and could not find the offensive rhythm at all.
At this time, Klopp made substitutions, Henderson and Robertson came on as substitutes, and continued to strengthen the hardness of the midfield and backcourt.
Fabregas swore to God that this was the most uncomfortable game he had ever played.
Because there was a bull, and he only had eyes for himself, as if he was wearing red shorts and wearing them outside.
The ultimate sense of shrouding!
Even with Kante helping him to do a similar pick-and-roll action, Lin Chen could always force Kante away, press himself, and oppress his space, not giving himself even a chance to breathe.
Fabregas became more and more tired, and his steps became heavier. He even hoped that the game would end quickly!
Chelsea passively defended and tried their best to reduce the rhythm of the game.
In the 93rd minute of the final game, the referee blew the whistle to end the game!
Chelsea players even felt a sense of relief!
"The game is over! Fans!"
"In the fifth round of the FA Cup, Liverpool won the victory at Stamford Bridge in a crushing manner and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup!"
"The score of 2:0 does not reflect the results on the field very well. I think the pressure Liverpool showed in this game is the best in today's football."
"Perhaps only the pressure currently possessed by Juventus, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona can compete with this Liverpool."
"We don't know what will happen next, but what we know is that the championship stage has begun, and there are three championship trophies waiting for Liverpool to compete!"
"Wish them good luck!"
Lin Chen was elected the best player of the game.
Lin Chen has become accustomed to such a life. He showed a professional fake smile at the press conference after the game, responded to reporters and the media, and then talked with the players who came to watch the game.Have dinner with Maria, who is not yet in the game, and go to his home again to talk about life and ideals.
Ordinary life is ignited by the passion of football, and vigorous steps are steadily moving towards his ideals. This is the life that Lin Chen wants most.
During this critical championship period, Liverpool's chief scout Berg suddenly submitted a special report.
At eight o'clock in the morning on March 17, Kravitz pushed open the door of the head coach's office.
"Boss, the scout team has recently discovered a new target."
Kravitz handed over a scout report mysteriously.
"Villarreal's defensive midfielder, Spanish player Rodri."
"Very potential, potential competitor is Atletico Madrid."
"If you want to buy him, it is expected to cost 20 million euros."
Klopp took the report, studied it carefully, and then said: "Sell Emre Can for 20 million and replace him with Rodri, wouldn't it be great?"
Kravitz nodded desperately.
"But is the potential really that great?"
Klopp looked at the analysis report of chief scout Berg.
Target player: Rodri.
Current ability rating: two and a half stars.
Potential rating four and a half stars to five stars!
Current value: 20 million euros.
Last season data: 31 appearances, 14 starts, one goal and two assists.
Features: decisive interception, tough confrontation, steady passing, ball intelligence has the height to help him quickly and correctly attack the direction, and has a strong predictive ability.
Disadvantages: may not be able to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, and the ability to quickly pass the ball needs to be cultivated.
Estimated cost of introduction: 20 to 30 million.
Player willingness to join: strong.
Liverpool's main advantage over other competitors: Rodri is crazy about Lin Chen.
The last potential column clearly stated: "There is a small chance that he can grow to the level of competing for the Ballon d'Or."
Klopp asked in confusion: "Ballon d'Or?"
"Did Berg write this report after drinking? Does he expect a 20 million defensive midfielder to compete for the Ballon d'Or?"
Kravitz was stunned, then laughed.
"You can start, but don't spend too much, our main task is still Van Dijk."
Kravitz nodded immediately and said: "Yes sir!"
