"If I'm not mistaken."

Coach Zhan looked at the starting lineup again and again. Even though he just subconsciously called out that Lin Chen was the starter, he was still not sure.

"If I'm not mistaken!"

Coach Zhan can finally be sure.

"Dear fans!"

"After Lin Chen experienced a Premier League match, he was included in the starting lineup!"

Studio.

"What's so surprising? Klopp always likes to use new players boldly."

"I started in the Premier League at the age of 17. I was still installing immediately without paying attention to the risks when I was 17."

"Don't think Liverpool will win for sure, Hoffenheim's lineup is very strong."

A fan mentioned this issue, and in the live broadcast room, Coach James was explaining the starting lineups of both sides to the fans.

"Dear fans, Hoffenheim is the most special team in the Bundesliga and is also called Hoffenheim by fans."

"The starting lineup for this game has been submitted. There are many young players worth paying attention to. First, let's take a look at the 3421 formation that Hoffenheim has arranged."

"Goalkeeper: Baumann."

"Defenders: Huebner, Vogt, Biczakcic."

"Midfielders: Zuber, Demirbai, Rupp, Kadzhabek."

"Forwards: Kramaric, Gnabry, Wagner."

"From the starting lineup, we can see that right winger Gnabry is Germany's current rising star, center forward Wagner has strong fulcrum ability, midfielder Demirbai has balanced ability, and left winger Kramaric also has strong breakthrough ability."

Coach Zhang then began to introduce Liverpool's starting lineup.

"Liverpool still has 433."

"Goalkeeper: Mignolet."

"Defenders: Moreno, Lovren, Matip, Arnold."

"Midfielders: Wijnaldum, Henderson, Lin Chen."

"Forwards: Mane, Firmino, Salah."

"It is worth mentioning that the young player Lin Chen started in the midfield. I hope he can perform well in this European game."

At this time, the players from both sides in the player channel are ready and enter the field under the guidance of the referee.

Hoffenheim's home stadium was packed with fans, and all the fans cheered loudly for their team.

Of course, some extreme German fans once again sneaked into the stadium and held up tall banners to complain to the Hoffenheim chairman.

"Banners have been put up in the stadium again. I believe they will be removed by security personnel soon."

"Due to the ownership structure of German teams, most teams are not owned by a single chairman, but Hoffenheim's chairman has changed this tradition and the club is completely controlled by him alone, which has caused dissatisfaction among some fans of the team."

The broadcast camera turned to the field, and both sides had already lined up in their respective half.

"Beep!"

"With the referee's whistle, dear fans, the game officially begins!"

"What Hockenheim is good at is playing a pressing attack in the early stages of the game."

"Sure enough, he started the game by dribbling to the left, trying to find Kramaric!"

"Head the ball past Arnold, there's a chance in the middle!"

"Wagner heads the ball!!!"

"Mignolet was very focused and saved the ball with both hands."

After the opening, Hoffenheim pressed forward and attacked at a very fast pace, forcing Liverpool to be unable to move in their own half.

The 15th minute of the game!

"The wing tried to launch a fast break, but the power was a bit too strong and was intercepted by Bale."

"A direct pass launched a counterattack and hit Moreno from behind!"

"Grabley got the ball and cut inside, dribbling past the defender!"

"Cut again!"

“There’s room!”

"Raise your foot and shoot!"

"Oops, that was a little off!"

"Gnabry's shot hit the post and flew out of the bottom line. If his ankle was tighter, the ball should have gone in!"

Coach Zhan looked at Hoffenheim who were pressing hard and said:

"Hoffenheim always start excitedly, that's their quality, Liverpool need to get through the difficult opening phase."

"Gnabry is a very capable winger. His signature cut-in ability always gives him space to shoot or pass the ball. His ability to explode instantly is his strong point."

Hoffenheim mainly attacked Gnabry's side. As long as the midfielder had the opportunity, he would immediately make a long pass to the side to provide Gnabry with a one-on-one opportunity.

The highly-watched Lin Chen seemed to have disappeared since the start of the game, or in layman's terms, he became invisible.

Studio.

"Where is that extremely powerful Lin you mentioned? Why haven't we seen him in more than ten minutes?"

"This is a European game. How well can a 17-year-old perform? I don't understand why Klopp let him start?"

"These trolls must not have watched the highlights of Lin Chen's last game. Do they know what confrontation is? Do they know what shooting is?"

Liverpool fans and Hoffenheim fans soon started to quarrel in the live broadcast room. At this time, Lin Chen suddenly started to move and expand his running range. He had completed his observation of Hoffenheim!

Although Hoffenheim attacked fiercely, the higher they pressed, the larger the space in the backcourt became. Lin Chen kept looking for gaps in their backcourt.

After careful observation, Lin Chen finally discovered that in order to pass the ball to Gnabry on the right, Demirbay would always press past the midfield line every time he dribbled the ball and then make a straight pass.

As long as they can intercept Demirbai's ball, they can instantly break through Hoffenheim's midfield blockade and launch a counterattack!

Lin Chen then immediately sent a signal to his teammates in the midfield, and Wijnaldum and Henderson understood.

The three players took the initiative to retreat, which gave Hoffenheim's midfielder more space to pass the ball.

In the 30th minute of the game, Demirbay looked at the empty space in front of him and couldn't help but dribble the ball forward.

With an excited heart and trembling feet, he dribbled the ball forward quickly and soon broke through the midfield line.

Just when he was about to pass the ball to Gnabry, he found that Moreno was pressing very closely, so he had to continue moving forward by himself.

At this time, Lin Chen suddenly pressed forward, Henderson on the left, Wijnaldum on the right, the three of them narrowed the encirclement and formed a siege in an instant!

Demirbai hurriedly stopped the ball and wanted to turn around but it was too late!

Lin Chen rushed forward fiercely and stole the ball!

He pushed the ground with his left foot, shook off Demirbai and launched a counterattack!

All Liverpool fans stood up to watch!

"Trap defense!"

"Lin Chen steals the ball and strides forward!"

"The Trident is advancing, there is a chance to counterattack!"

Lin Chen dribbled the ball and observed at the same time.

His eyes first looked to the left side, where Mane was double-teamed, but Firmino suddenly retreated.

"Snap! Lin Chen immediately made a short pass!

"Bang! Firmino passes the ball back!

The two of them played a wall-hitting combination!

After receiving the return pass, Lin Chen not only did not stop the ball, but instead kicked it in an arc with his left foot!

Perfectly bypassing Hoffenheim's right-back Huebner and finding Salah who successfully got offside!

The Egyptian Pharaoh stopped and passed, adjusted one step and then shot into the near corner!

"Uh-huh!!!"
