"Beep!!!"

"Game start!"

"Arsenal kick off first!"

"Pass it back to Xhaka and organise in midfield."

"Xhaka is a bad boy, he is experienced on the field, good at using small moves to anger his opponents, and he is not afraid of physical confrontation."

"Liverpool's high pressure was very fierce, and Emre Can pressed in front of Xhaka."

"Beat it sideways, then pass it to Ramsey, who controls the ball on the spot and passes it back to Koscielny slowly when facing pressure."

Coach Zhan nodded.

"That's Arsenal's style, they have the ability to improve the end of the game in an instant and quickly break through the defense with a single pass."

"When they decide to attack, all the passes are forward, never slowing down the tempo."

Liverpool certainly knew Arsenal's style. They played very carefully and kept their formation very tight.

Even when executing high-position pressure, the front, middle and back must be integrated into one, with three clear blockade chains pressing forward little by little.

There is an extremely reasonable distance and area between each chain.

"What Liverpool are using now is catenaccio, the most common and most used defensive tactic in football."

"This defensive tactic requires the front, middle and back of the team to maintain an appropriate distance, leaving no chance for the opponent to counterattack with the ball."

Arsenal was waiting for their chance to control the ball and keep the tempo steady.

Sanchez was in the frontcourt, disrupting Liverpool's defense with crazy off-ball running.

The 13th minute of the game!

"A straight pass down the middle, Henderson failed to intercept it and passed it to Sanchez!"

"He received the ball and broke through from the wing, then continued to cut inside!"

"Sanchez's dribbling action is very standard, Lin Chen is trying to steal the ball!"

Lin Chen quickly returned to defense and prevented Sanchez from advancing with the ball.

Although he was strong enough, Lin Chen also felt the defensive pressure when facing Sanchez, who was extremely flexible and changed his center of gravity very quickly.

They can only keep reaching out and pulling with small movements to slightly disrupt Sanchez's balance. This method will not be called a foul in the Premier League.

Although he failed to successfully intercept the ball, Lin Chen kept his body across Sanchez, not giving him space to shoot or pass the ball.

After moving around, Sanchez had no choice but to pass the ball back. At this time, all Liverpool players returned to their positions and formed a complete defensive chain again.

"A beautiful defensive performance. Lin Chen performed well."

"Arsenal's passing is very offensive. All Liverpool players must be ready to make more runs to cover the defense at any time."

Arsenal began to increase the frequency of straight passes, trying to tear through Liverpool's horizontal defense through vertical transmission.

Two completely different tactics clashed with each other on the court, and the tempo on the court gradually quickened, with more confrontations.

The 30th minute of the game!

Arsenal wanted to attack directly from the midfield again, and Ramsey moved forward with the ball.

Facing Henderson's siege, he chose to pass the ball horizontally to Xhaka, who immediately made a through pass.

Sanchez successfully made an offside move and broke through the penalty area.

Just as he was about to knock the ball and turn around, Lovren arrived in time and blocked it with a flying tackle!

But the ball was still in Arsenal's hands, and all the fans at the scene focused their attention on Sanchez.

After being blocked, Sanchez took two quick steps to regain the ball and then passed it back to Xhaka.

Xhaka got the ball and wanted to shoot!

At this time, Lin Chen kicked the ball from the side.

Xhaka quickly counterattacked, but Lin Chen used his strong body to block the ball!

Even though Xhaka behind him kept bumping into him, he remained motionless!

The referee called a foul at this time.

Infuriated and humiliated, Xhaka reached out and pushed Lin Chen hard after being called for a foul.

Lin Chen was angry, and a nameless fire surged from his dantian.

He turned his head and said nothing, without any expression, just stared at Xhaka calmly.

But it was this calm reaction that made Xhaka feel extremely insulted.
