He instantly entered the red-temperature state and rushed towards Lin
Chen with a roar. The Arsenal players immediately stepped forward to
stop him.
Lin Chen's expression changed again at this time, and he smiled.
A contemptuous laugh.
Staring at Zaka, who was roaring madly and entering the red temperature
state but could do nothing, Lin Chen laughed wildly.
After the game resumed, Lin Chen wanted to target Xhaka.
This man, known as the bad boy, soon learned what a 17-year-old bully
was.
"Xhaka is dribbling the ball, he seems to be angry with Lin Chen!"
"He tried to rush forward, but was pushed back to the right by Lin Chen!"
"Lin Chen, a 17-year-old young man, is not afraid at all when facing the
bad boys in the Premier League." Coach Zhan smiled.
"He was like, 'You're called Xhaka!'"
There was little time left in the first half.
Although neither side scored a goal, both sides obviously picked up the
pace in the last ten minutes of the first half, and the game became more
and more exciting, especially the matchup between Lin Chen and Xhaka.
Studio.
"I love watching these so-called bad boys break through their defenses.
Well done, Lin Chen!"
"Isn't Xhaka usually a very good football player? Where did all that
awesome energy go?"
"Although it was the Emirates Stadium, Liverpool's momentum was not
weak at all, and the players performed very well on the field."
Fans could see that Liverpool performed very stably and did not get
nervous because they were playing away.
The defense in particular was very good. Although they did not have as
much ball possession as Arsenal, they did not allow Arsenal to get any
good shooting opportunities.
Finally, the first half ended and the game entered halftime.
Coach Zhang holds the match data of both sides in the first 45 minutes of
the half.
Data analysis during halftime has always been Coach Zhang's main job.
Compared to commentary, he is better at tactical analysis.
When it comes to tactical analysis in China, there are few people who are
more professional than Coach Zhang.
"From the performance data in the first half, Arsenal's ball possession rate
reached 61%, which was higher than Liverpool."
"But in terms of shots, Arsenal only had one more shot than Liverpool and
did not create any great scoring chances."
"Having possession of the ball but not threatening the offense can also be
considered invalid possession."
"From the rhythm and progress of the game in the first half, I think the
tactics Klopp formulated for Liverpool were to suppress first and then
boost."
"To put it simply, we need to adapt to Arsenal's rhythm in the first half,
stabilize our formation, and avoid being beaten at Arsenal's home ground."
"When the 45 minutes are over, Liverpool will definitely launch a
counterattack in the second half."
Coach Zhang's guess was absolutely correct. At that moment in the
Liverpool locker room, Klopp was pointing at the tactical board and
making the final emphasis.
"Again, everything went according to our plan after the second half
started."
"Break through the flanks and let the entire Premier League see our new
offensive tactics!"
Klopp was very confident that the score of 0-0 ending in the first half
meant that his pre-match tactical deployment was correct.
On the other side, Professor Wenger was still emphasizing passing. He
was very dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half.
"I didn't see any threatening one-kick passes. Where did your small-scale
passes go?"
"And pass the damn ball forward!"
"Stop doing useless lateral conduction!"
"We don't need to maneuver the space because the flanks are Liverpool's
strength!"
"We need to play deep passing! Pass forward! I want to see more small-
range cooperation and one-touch passes!"
Wenger knows what kind of coach Klopp is. During his time at Dortmund,
he demonstrated strong tactical abilities, especially in coaching offense.
Therefore, Arsenal had the upper hand in the first half but failed to score.
Wenger instantly realized that he had fallen into Klopp's trap. The 45
minutes in the second half were crucial.
The second half of the game was about to begin. Lin Chen stood up and
cut a few more holes in his socks to facilitate breathing, and then called a
staff member to apply some essential oil on his arms.
