At seventeen, I went to Spain to win the World Cup

Chapter 141

The whole tactical process is very complicated to play, but Lin Chen understands that if it can be played successfully, Liverpool will definitely rely on this trump card tactic to burst out vigorous energy!

Enough energy to make all other teams tremble!

But such tactics must designate a midfield core, and the midfielder will guide the triangular structure of the entire team.

Just like the three vertices of a triangle, one vertex must be fixed, while the other two vertices change frequently.

The core player plays the role of the fixed vertex.

Klopp thought again and again, and the tactical core he and Kravitz jointly selected was the young Lin Chen!

Before the fourth round of the FA Cup knockout match, Klopp called Lin Chen to the office.

With trust in his eyes and a smile on his lips, Klopp stared at Lin Chen.

"Lin."

"Are you ready to become the core of the team at the age of 17?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Damn it."

"I thought I was already the core before!"

Klopp laughed up to the sky, and he was relieved to see Lin Chen's reaction.

Because the quality of a core player must be self-confidence!

And next, Liverpool will face the iron bucket Southampton in tomorrow's FA Cup knockout match and experiment with a new trump card tactic for the first time!

On February 17, the tactical analysis meeting room before the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Many legendary Chinese players arrived in the Huaxia live broadcast room.

Qu Chuliang and General Fan appeared as guests at the same time to analyze the upcoming game.

"This is a very magical team. In the third round of the FA Cup, their opponent is Chelsea."

"Southampton did not shoot a single shot in the whole game, and dragged the game to the last minute. Then the only corner kick opportunity, Van Dijk staged a magical lore."

General Fan looked at the young Van Dijk, full of energy.

"This young central defender has attracted much attention and is called the future of the Premier League. Many teams are interested in Van Dijk."

"It is reported that Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and other teams are planning to make an offer to Van Dijk in the next transfer window."

Goalkeeper Qu Chuliang certainly understands the importance of defenders to goalkeepers.

"Van Dijk is best at using the right retreat to prevent the opponent from completing a one-on-one breakthrough and blocking at the right time. He is tall, long-legged and strong."

Coach Zhan looked at Liverpool's recent record and status.

"Judging from Liverpool's current state, they are actually playing very steadily, except that they were embarrassed by Manchester City's sudden midfielder tactics in the last game."

"But in the end, they still tied 3-3 and defended their top position."

"In this game, about 43% of fans are optimistic that Liverpool can win the game within 90 minutes of regular time, and 17% of fans think Southampton can win."

"The remaining 40% of fans think that the two teams will tie in regular time. It seems that Southampton's recent iron bucket formation is very famous."

As the most prestigious cup in England, the FA Cup is very popular among fans.

Klopp also sent out a full lineup to deal with Southampton.

More importantly, the Champions League quarter-finals are about to start.

Liverpool's next opponent is Juventus, the dominant team from Serie A, and the other semi-final in the same half is the Bundesliga's southern king Bayern Munich against the king of the Europa League, Sevilla from La Liga.

This means that if Liverpool wants to enter the final, they have to step over the shoulders of Juventus and two strong teams, Bayern or Sevilla.

In the other half of the zone, Real Madrid vs. Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City vs. Chelsea are also strong dialogues.

Eight strong teams are fighting for the highest honor in Europe this season. Klopp understands that only by familiarizing himself with the trump card tactics as soon as possible and practicing them as soon as possible can Liverpool move towards the Champions League championship.

February 18, the fourth round of the FA Cup, Southampton Stadium.

Both sides have submitted their starting lineups and the main players have entered the field.

All major live broadcast rooms are open on time.

"Dear fans, the fourth round of the FA Cup is about to begin, with Liverpool, who have performed well recently, facing Southampton."

"First, let's take a look at Southampton's starting lineup."

"In fact, this Southampton team is really strong. They have a natural iron bucket formation, as well as a formation and players that can play defensive counterattacks."

"Goalkeeper: Foster."

"Defenders: Bertrand, Van Dijk, Hutt, Cedric."

"Double defensive midfielders: Romeu, Steven Davis."

"Left midfielder: Raymond."

"Right midfielder: Tadic."

"Attacking midfielder: Boufal."

"Center forward: Sean Long."

"The most popular players must be the young central defender Van Dijk and the young midfielder Tadic."

On the other side, Liverpool also sent out the full main lineup.

The starting lineups of both sides entered the player tunnel, waiting for the start of the final battle.

Lin Chen was standing at the back of the team, concentrating on getting ready.

Suddenly, Lin Chen felt a beam of extremely hot eyes on the right side of his face, staring at him.

Turning his head slightly, it was the young central defender Van Dijk.

Seeing that Lin Chen noticed his gaze, Van Dijk was stunned at first, and his expression suddenly became a little shy, but soon returned to normal.

"Come on." Lin Chen nodded at Van Dijk.

The shyness that was finally hidden quietly emerged again, and Van Dijk also gave Lin Chen a thumbs up.

Both sides entered the field and the game began!

"At the beginning of the game, Liverpool kicked off first, and Southampton really retreated with all their strength. This is their tactical arrangement. ”

Southampton retreated with all their strength just after the game started.

It was not just a simple iron bucket defense, but a defensive tactic with layers and rhythm, chain defense combined with regional double-teaming.

Liverpool was not in a hurry to attack, nor did they use the trump card tactics immediately, but just stabilized the rhythm first and put pressure upwards a little bit.

Despite controlling the ball possession and offensive rhythm, Lin Chen gradually found that it was really difficult for Liverpool players to get a good chance to shoot.

But Liverpool did not seem to be in a hurry. The game time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was 30 minutes later.

The 35th minute of the game!

"Still looking for a breakthrough on the wing, Arnold dribbled the ball forward!"

"Pass it to Salah, dunk and turn to face Bertrand!"

"Cut inside one step to open up space, raise your foot and shoot!"

"Hit Van Dijk!"

"There is still a chance to make up a shot!"

"Follow up and shoot!"

"Romeu cleared the ball first! ”

“Southampton’s defense is very good, with a very distinct sense of hierarchy.”

“The distance between the three lines in the middle and front is extremely reasonable.”

“Even if Liverpool players can break through one-on-one, it is difficult for them to immediately connect and shoot, and Southampton’s protection of the second landing point is also very good!”

Coach Zhang praised frequently, and the remaining time of the first half ended and the game entered the halftime break.

Coach Zhang said again.

“I have watched Southampton’s recent games, and I can pat my chest to guarantee that this is the best iron bucket formation in the world.”

“Their defense is solid enough, which is why they can tie Chelsea.”

“If Liverpool wants to resolve the battle within regular time, they need new and sharp enough tactics!”

What a coincidence.

Liverpool just has a new tactic, waiting to sharpen the knife with the first lucky one!

At this time in the Liverpool locker room, Klopp gave a signal!

“Dynamic triangle!”

“Play dynamic triangle in the second half, it’s time to try our new tactics!”
