"A strong Guardiola style. I hope Arteta doesn't follow his bad example."
"That's the thing about Guardiola, you never know what formation he's going to use, you never know what kind of football he's going to play."
Coach Zhang continued to introduce Liverpool's starting lineup to the fans.
"Liverpool still uses their best formation, 433, so it seems they will still focus on offensive tactics."
"Goalkeeper Mignolet has performed well recently and has gradually gained recognition from the fans."
"Robertson on the left and Arnold on the right are still the full-back combination, and Lovren and Matip are the central defenders."
"Three midfielders, Lin Chen in the middle, Henderson on the left, and Milner on the right waiting for an opportunity to strangle."
"Left winger Mane, right winger Salah and center forward Firmino are still the world-famous Red Arrows!"
The starting lineups of both teams have entered the player tunnel, and captain Henderson kept applauding to boost morale.
Wembley Stadium is divided into two groups of fans, red and blue, each occupying half of the seats in the stadium.
When playing against Manchester United, the fans of Liverpool and Manchester City are always extremely united, but when the two teams really meet, the scene is not friendly.
After all, he is his direct rival for the championship. Who would be willing to give up the championship?
As both teams entered the field, the fans immediately cheered.
The entire Wembley Stadium was instantly ignited and the atmosphere reached its highest point.
It was the first time that Lin Chen felt such a strong competition atmosphere, but the more intense the competition atmosphere was, the more excited he became!
After arriving at his position and standing still, Lin Chen looked up and it seemed that Fernandinho only had eyes on him, and the same was true for Gundogan next to him.
A strong sense of uneasiness was surging in his body, and Lin Chen could almost predict what would happen next.
A moment later, referee Atkinson blew the whistle to start the game.
Manchester City kicked off first, and as expected, center forward Aguero passed the ball back and started a ball possession system.
De Bruyne and David Silva looked confident as the two core players in the frontcourt, which allowed Manchester City to stabilize their formation and maintain firm control of the ball.
Liverpool, on the other hand, was not in a hurry and did not press forward, allowing Manchester City to control the ball.
But as long as Manchester City dribbles the ball across the midfield line, all Liverpool players will rush forward to surround them immediately.
Even the forwards had to return to the midfield line to participate in the siege. In this way, Liverpool restricted Manchester City's early attack and pushed Manchester City's formation back little by little.
"City looked more like they were playing ineffective possession, they were being held back by Liverpool and couldn't press forward."
"After 15 minutes of play, Manchester City had 71% possession, while Liverpool had only 29%."
"But City didn't have any shots on target or create any big chances to score."
"Dear fans, please note that Liverpool's three blockade chains are very obvious from the top of the screen. It is indeed Klopp's best chain defense."
"This defensive style is what Klopp has always been best at and is the most effective. It can always limit the opponent's attack."
Lin Chen was slow to attack, but instead kept the tempo steady and controlled the ball.
The game passed by minute by minute, and the fans were surprised to find that this much-anticipated semi-final actually felt a bit boring.
Immediately afterwards, the live camera began to show that some fans at the scene were already yawning.
The fans in the live broadcast room were also complaining wildly and expressing their dissatisfaction.
Until the 25th minute of the game, the situation had not changed.
But Klopp stood up and came to the sidelines at this time. This was like a signal. Liverpool's formation instantly moved forward, and they began to press at a very high position and actively speed up!
Liverpool continued to press forward and attack Manchester City's ball possession system!
Manchester City, who were used to comfortably controlling the ball in their own half, were disrupted by the sudden change in rhythm and actually started to make mistakes.
Lin Chen began to demonstrate his extremely powerful breakthrough ability.
Explosiveness combined with strength, these two attributes alone are enough to make Fernandinho overwhelmed!
Gundogan frequently stepped forward in the midfield to help Fernandinho with defense, but the situation did not improve at all. Instead, it made Lin Chen's breakthrough look more threatening.
The 33th minute of the game!
Lin Chen quickly retreated to receive the ball, and Mignolet made a bold short pass to Lin Chen, resolving Manchester City's high pressure.
Lin Chen stopped the ball steadily, held Fernandinho with his back, exerted force, twisted his back to the right, and actually blocked Fernandinho to complete the turn!
Gundogan rushed forward at this time, and Lin Chen pushed off the ground again, bursting out in an instant, pulling Gundogan away to complete the breakthrough!
David Silva and Gundogan almost subconsciously reached out at the same time to pull the foul, which prevented Lin Chen's subsequent counterattack.
The referee immediately stopped the game and showed a yellow card to Gundogan!
Gundogan looked at Fernandinho and saw the same surprise in the latter's eyes.
Gundogan was very clear that Lin Chen's explosive move just now did not involve any running-up. He just pushed off the ground with his right foot and dribbled the ball with his left foot. However, this move was so fast that even phantoms appeared in his eyes!
He understood that he could not prevent this outburst no matter what!
After the foul was called, Milner quickly took the free kick and passed it short to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen got the ball and turned around, and as expected, he exploded with another step, instantly pulling away from Gundogan. Now he couldn't foul anymore!
De Bruyne chased desperately to restrict Lin Chen.
Lin Chen pointed to the ground with his right hand at this time. He wanted Salah to make a counter-run, and Salah was indeed doing so.
However, in the eyes of the fans, Lin Chen's action was like pointing to the right and telling De Bruyne: I'm going to break through to your side!
De Bruyne also subconsciously thought so, and then shifted his center of gravity to the right in advance to prepare for defense.
Lin Chen burst out with another move, intending to break through to the right!
De Bruyne was full of joy, he thought he had completed the defense!
However, the next second, Lin Chen, who started later and changed his center of gravity later than himself, still completed the breakthrough!
He took a sudden step and flashed past me!
phantom!
De Bruyne’s head went blank for a moment!
The pupils dilated instantly!
He couldn't believe what just happened!
