All the surrounding Liverpool Fans were instantly as if struck by a body-fixing spell.
They stood motionless, their wide eyes fixated on Lin Chen.
Just a moment ago.
Foden dribbled the ball, executing a beautiful 'Ronaldo Chop', even adding a feint before it.
A perfect dribble and breakthrough!
Not to mention in the youth academy, even some lower-level players in the Premier League might not be able to defend against it.
Foden's powerful ball control was almost absolute, the ball sticking to his body as if magnetic!
However, such an exquisitely beautiful dribble was correctly anticipated by Lin Chen.
He took a step ahead to block the position, shielded the ball with his back, and pushed hard, directly knocking Foden behind him to the ground!
That wasn't all!
Seeing his teammates seemingly frozen, Lin Chen turned with the ball.
Shouting!
"What are you looking at me for?"
"Run forward!"
This roar instantly woke his teammates up.
Striker Diouf quickly ran forward.
As many as three forwards simultaneously ran forward.
Manchester City's defense was highly vigilant, Doyle directing his teammates to defend.
Palmer chased back all the way, constantly interfering from the side, preventing Lin Chen from passing.
As the counter-attack opportunity was about to disappear, Lin Chen felt Palmer beside him was as annoying as a fly.
He subconsciously raised his elbow.
And forcefully pushed Palmer away!
Immediately followed by a sudden stop to the side!
A pull-back with his right foot!
Another sudden stop!
A turn and another flick!
A second burst of speed!
Two consecutive sudden stops, followed by a sudden acceleration.
Palmer could keep up the first time, but his center of gravity was clearly lost the second time, and with Lin Chen's elbow push, he instantly lost his balance.
Palmer stumbled and fell to the ground, looking utterly disheveled!
Fear arose from the bottom of his heart.
Palmer's gaze towards Lin Chen had clearly changed again.
Although it was only a momentary contact, he could clearly feel that the young man in front of him possessed immense power!
Is this really the strength a 17-year-old should have?
Are you kidding me?
Not to mention him, even Doyle felt a hint of timidity.
He watched helplessly as two teammates were knocked down, while Lin Chen continued to advance with the ball as if nothing had happened, his bulging muscles resembling the Hulk.
Manchester City Head Coach Lescott was completely bewildered, only able to shout repeatedly from the sidelines.
"Go up!"
"Go up and defend him!"
"Don't retreat!"
The Midfielder had already been breached.
Seeing Lin Chen dribbling closer and closer to their penalty area, Doyle could only bite the bullet and go for a tackle.
Once Lin Chen dribbled into the penalty area, it would be too late to intercept him.
Doyle left the penalty area and stood at the edge of the box.
His legs spread wide, intercepting head-on!
He was ready!
Little did he know, in Lin Chen's eyes at this moment, Doyle's spread legs seemed to be a strong temptation.
The space between his legs became so wide; although it seemed to guard both sides of his body, the middle was unobstructed.
Lin Chen subconsciously touched the ball with his toe, followed by an explosive burst.
His single arm raised to maintain balance.
Using inertia, he quickly passed through Doyle's left side!
A beautiful phantom, like a meteor streaking across the night sky.
Doyle didn't even have time to put his hands together and make a wish on the meteor, only feeling a gust of wind brush past his face.
When he turned his head again, Lin Chen had already completed a nutmeg and dribbled past him!
At this moment, the Manchester City goal and goalkeeper were completely exposed in front of him.
Manchester City's goalkeeper was hopping in small steps in place, ready to make a save at any moment. He was confident he could block Lin Chen's shot.
Immediately after,
"Bang!!!!"
The Fans in the stadium were even startled!
"Swish!!!!"
The Liverpool Fans, who had just been startled, instantly raised their hands and cheered.
Lescott stood on the sidelines with his hands on his head, making the exact same gesture as Liverpool Head Coach Randall.
All the Fans in the stadium instantly went wild!
"Are you kidding me?"
"Is that the sound a long-range shot makes? Are you sure someone didn't set off fireworks?"
"Wtf?"
"How old is he, 17?"
"If you told me he was 27, I wouldn't doubt it!"
"It just went in? How long has the game been going on, a minute?"
"Did I not nap well? Why do I see the Hulk dribbling on the field, and he can even take long-range shots!"
Manchester City's goalkeeper was still in his ready stance until the huge sound from Lin Chen's kick echoed in his ears, and the exaggerated ball speed shot straight into the net!
Only then did he realize, trying to save this young man's long-range shot?
Dream on?!
With Lin Chen's current power and long-range shooting attribute, Premier League-level goalkeepers might still have a chance to save, but for a youth academy goalkeeper, let alone saving, it would be a miracle if he could protect himself!
Phil Foden and Palmer were still on the ground, slowly struggling to get up.
The areas where they had collided with Lin Chen even felt a burning pain.
Almost everyone was in a state of extreme shock, only Lin Chen turned around gracefully, as if he knew the ball would definitely go in.
He let his teammates celebrate wildly, while he remained calm and composed.
Actually, he was calm on the surface, but laughing wildly inside.
The reason he did this was simply because Lin Chen wanted to show off!
The game resumed, still with Manchester City kicking off.
Still passed to Foden.
Still Foden dribbling forward to organize the attack.
Still Lin Chen intercepting head-on.
He even blocked the passing lanes, forcing Foden into a one-on-one with him.
Weren't you the king of one-on-one dribbling last season?
100% success rate?
Then I'll let you enjoy it!
Foden faced Lin Chen, recalling the previous collision, and his feet felt a little unsteady. Still with a lowered shoulder, no feint, Foden tried to break through with a sudden burst of speed.
However, Lin Chen still guessed the direction correctly!
He extended his foot a step ahead, his right leg like a golden cudgel, firmly wedged between Foden and the ball he had pushed out.
It was this one step of distance that made Foden feel as if he was thousands of miles away from the ball!
Lin Chen immediately exerted force with his right leg, and charged with his shoulder!
He forcefully pushed Foden away!
He won the ball, tapped it, and turned.
Without any hesitation!
Facing Palmer, who still wanted to tackle, he feinted with his left foot, performing a step-over, and then flicked the ball outwards with his right foot.
One step past!
Manchester City's Midfielder was rendered useless!
Lin Chen had another chance to face the defensive line directly!
It was still Doyle, tackling again!
This time, Lin Chen didn't choose to go it alone.
He played a short pass to striker Diouf.
The latter didn't stop the ball, flicked his ankle, and played a horizontal pass.
A wall pass!
Diouf shortened the shooting distance for Lin Chen, setting up a perfect platform!
Manchester City's goalkeeper could almost foresee what was about to happen.
Lin Chen pushed off the ground left and right, taking two powerful steps to reach the ball!
His right foot supported him, his body spread open like an eagle!
His swinging left leg slammed into the ball!
"Bang!!!"
"Swish!!!"
Another goal!
Two-nil!
Randall was stunned!
Lescott was dumbfounded!!
The Liverpool Fans went crazy!!!
"Is this really not the Premier League? Am I watching a youth League?"
"Are you sure Phil Foden was the dribbling king last season? Why does he not look like it to me?"
"Two goals in two minutes, now that's what you call a dimensionality reduction strike!"
