The first 30 minutes of the game were very dull, so dull that it didn't feel like a Champions League match, but more like a third-round match in the English League Cup.

As the first half entered the latter part, Lyon finally began to press more actively and prepared to attack. This was the result Lin Chen wanted, and Klopp's new tactics also required such an opportunity!

The 37th minute of the game!

"Aouar rushed forward, Liverpool's formation retreated relatively far, including the midfield, but the forward line did not shrink."

"Their positioning was somewhat discontinuous and not very coordinated. This is not a positioning error that Liverpool should have!"

Gullit believes this was a strategic mistake by Liverpool, after all, the gap between the midfield and the front court is too large.

Rodri dribbled the ball towards the right back, attracting Aouar. When Aouar rushed towards him, he broke through and made a long pass to the left front, completing a beautiful transfer.

Henderson, who had just been in the middle, has now arrived at the landing point. The two of them are separated in front and back, and one on the left and one on the right, pulling Aouar and Ndombele apart.

Henderson watched Rodri's pass, and when Ndombele was about to be snatched in front of him, he immediately moved quickly and headed the ball to the midfield to find Lin Chen!

Judging from the picture at this time, the layout of the entire stadium is very strange. Due to the role of Rodri and Henderson, the middle area of ​​the stadium has become very open, and the two have opened up enough space for Lin Chen!

Lyon didn't know what would happen next until Lin Chen received the pass from Henderson and immediately made a long pass!

Fly behind Denaiel!

Firmino had already started according to the tactical deployment and successfully countered the offside!

Klopp's new stretch tactic!

Cooperation successful!

Firmino ran wildly after the offside trap, took advantage of the fact that Denayer turned slower than him and entered the Lyon penalty area. His pass fell to the ground and bounced back quickly!

Facing the goalkeeper who was coming out, Firmino lifted the ball up again after it bounced back!

Volley shot!

"Volley!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"Beautiful! Firmino's shot was great, very great!"

"Wonderful~"

"Liverpool is leading Lyon 1-0. This is an offensive tactic they have never shown before!"

"Rodri and Henderson created a very comfortable and sufficient long pass space for Lin Chen through the pass. Then Lin Chen played his long pass advantage and took advantage of the opponent's slow central defender to let Firmino or the players on the wing get a single opportunity!"

"This offensive tactic is simpler and more direct, but the effect is very good!"

Klopp was sitting in the car, looking at the fans on both sides and the empty road in front of him. Then he thought of Lin Chen sitting next to him, and this kind of separation tactic emerged in his mind!

When the midfielders are pulled apart, it will not only leave space for Lin Chen to pass the ball, but will also cause the opponent's midfield to lose protection of their own back line without realizing it!

The slow speed of the central defender has always been one of the characteristics of this tactical position.

Because most central defenders are tall and strong, it is difficult for them to lower their center of gravity, and their explosive running when turning around will also be limited.

Without the protection of the midfield, the central defender and the opponent's center forward will compete directly in speed. Coupled with Lin Chen's exquisite long pass, this attempt will definitely help the team get a chance to score!

Firmino rushed towards Lin Chen, and the two flew into the air again, colliding shoulder to shoulder!

Klopp was happy because he knew his new tactics were effective.

This tactic is not top-notch, but it is new enough to make Liverpool's tactics richer.

Gullit said: "Lin's long pass is accurate."

“It’s so accurate.”

“It’s ridiculously accurate.”

Scholes nodded and replied: "This is his comfort zone."

"Lin is good at this kind of pass and Klopp knows how to exploit his ability."

The new tactics created goals. After the game resumed, Liverpool continued to use this stretching tactic in their own backcourt to create passing space for Lin Chen.
