Lin Chen dared to say that he was on a killing spree, because the next three games were a League Cup knockout match and two league matches, and the opponents were all weak.
The opponent in the League Cup knockout match was Derby County from the English Championship, and the strength gap between the two sides was huge.
And the two league matches faced relegation teams West Bromwich Albion and Stoke City.
Among them, West Bromwich Albion had the worst performance this season. It did not win a single game in the first 11 league rounds, only achieved two draws, and lost a full nine games. It currently ranks last with two points.
Stoke City only won one more game than West Bromwich Albion, and ranked second from the bottom with 5 points.
No one in Liverpool mentioned the Golden Boy Award selection, but Lin Chen could feel that both Klopp and his good brothers around him were obviously interested in helping him to perform better.
On November 16, the Premier League officially started, and the opponent was West Bromwich Albion.
Klopp sent out a half-rotation starter, and Lin Chen led the midfield.
After the game started, West Bromwich Albion was powerless against Liverpool with a half-rotation lineup and was defeated step by step.
Fans originally predicted that this would be a massacre.
"Liverpool will score at least three goals, and if they are in better shape, they will score 4 to 5 goals. After all, West Bromwich Albion's defense in the previous few league games was particularly poor."
"This is a great opportunity to gain a goal difference advantage, and Liverpool should not miss it."
"See, with only a half-rotation lineup, they are already suppressing West Bromwich Albion. Scoring is only a matter of time."
Fans have begun to imagine a bright future, but Ibe, the young player who was picked up in the starting lineup in this game and is also Liverpool's most popular young talent, fell into a sleepwalking state in this game.
I don't know if it was because he was a little too nervous when playing in the Premier League for the first time, or because he didn't bring shooting boots.
19th minute of the game!
"Control the ball in the middle and carry the ball forward to organize."
"Lin Chen exploded quickly, shake off Longdong!"
After Lin Chen completed the first breakthrough, he looked up and soon saw Ibe trying to counter offside.
Ibe is small and fast, and his Laudrup skills are shining!
Combined with the extraordinary Pirlo, Lin Chen pushed the ground with his right foot, swung his left foot, and made a ground pass!
The ball went around defender Evans with an arc and accurately reached Ibe who was offside!
All Liverpool fans at the scene stood up, Jordan Ibe twisted the ball into the penalty area and shot!
Flat shot to the lower right corner!
The goalkeeper was even stunned, he couldn't react to this ball!
The distance was too close, but Ibe's shot actually rubbed the post and went out of the bottom line, and failed to score? !
The Liverpool fans at the scene were in an uproar, and the fans' exclamations even reached the fans in the live broadcast room!
"It's much harder to miss this ball than to score it!" Coach Zhan was speechless.
"Ibi is too focused on the angle. This is a one-on-one shot, not such a difficult shot."
"TMD, push it to the near corner early, hit a ground ball, this ball will definitely go in!"
Coach Zhang on the side also spoke up.
"Ibi is too young. He thinks too much after he comes on the court. He always wants to show the most extreme performance, but this state often misses some key opportunities."
The game continued. Ibi's running was indeed very beautiful. Frequent offside runs always created opportunities, but the final shot was always a little bit lacking.
Lin Chen gradually found that it was probably not realistic to rely on Ibi to score.
Barnett in the stands wanted to take out a Barrett, shoot Ibi in the head and kill him, and then let Firmino play.
Ibi at least wasted two wonderful assists from Lin Chen, which also indirectly lowered Lin Chen's performance score in this game.
At the same time, West Bromwich Albion played a big iron bucket formation. The 460 formation means that there are almost no forwards. Even the center forward Long Dong will frequently retreat to the midfield to assist in defense.
Lin Chen's offense was gradually blocked, and he enjoyed the treatment of a king in the middle.
As long as he holds the ball, there are at least three people around him, and at most four people. West Bromwich Albion relies entirely on the advantage of numbers to stack defense and just want to get one point.
"West Bromwich Albion's tactical intention is very clear. They don't plan to win at all. Getting one point is a victory."
"For them who want to stay in the league, getting one point from a team like Liverpool is of great significance."
Lin Chen began to actively carry the ball forward, increase collisions and breakthroughs, and his strong body rushed around in the midfield. Even if West Bromwich Albion defended with three people, it was difficult to stop Lin Chen from advancing.
39th minute of the game!
"Lin Chen continued to press forward with the ball, and there was another three-person wall."
Facing the three-person double-team, Lin Chen lowered his shoulders and cut inside, and then suddenly pulled the ball in a V-shaped shape to change the direction of advancement, instantly shaking off the two people!
Seeing that he was about to break through successfully, Long Dong behind him pulled hard. The already strong Long Dong almostThrowing the whole body out, just to complete the foul!
Lin Chen's advancement was stopped, and the referee immediately rushed to show Long Dong a yellow card.
"Lin Chen is still the human tank, and his ability to advance is still very strong."
"But what Liverpool needs now is a goal. With half of the main players playing, especially after all three forwards were rotated, Liverpool's offensive firepower has dropped significantly, all relying on Lin Chen to support in the midfield."
Finally, at the end of the first half, Klopp made a decisive substitution adjustment, and all the main tridents in the front court appeared.
Klopp was very disappointed with Ibe. He gradually discovered that this young talent in the fans' mouths did not have a high football IQ. He had speed and running position, but he did not have the ability to kill with one shot.
After analyzing Ibe's first half game, Kravitz also believed that the club should deal with Ibe as soon as possible, while he is still a little famous, and can still sell a good price.
The three main forwards came on as substitutes, and Liverpool fans rekindled the dawn of hope.
The second half of the game resumed quickly.
Lin Chen kept running in the midfield and turned his head quickly to observe. Before passing, receiving and stopping the ball, Lin Chen would twist his head frantically to the left and right.
He had to observe every step he took. Soon, Lin Chen felt that he had firmly memorized the running and standing positions of the three front-court teammates in his mind, as if it was a movie clip replay!
62nd minute of the game!
Lin Chen retreated again and turned his head to observe.
Emre Can made a short pass to Lin Chen. West Bromwich Albion was in a relatively relaxed state in the midfield and backcourt, because Lin Chen was holding the ball with his back to the goal at this time, which meant that he had no awareness of the blind spot behind him.
However, Firmino seemed to feel something, and suddenly broke out at the moment when Lin Chen was about to receive the ball, and he made an offside forward move!
Lin Chen, who was facing away from Firmino, did not stop the ball, but followed Emre Can's pass, hit it hard with his heel, and made a heel pass behind him!
The ball bypassed Evans and accurately found Firmino who was offside!
All the fans at the scene cried out in amazement, and Coach Zhan screamed even more!
"God-level vision pass!"
"Lin Chen actually saw Firmino in his blind spot!!!"
"There are eyes behind his head!"
"Firmino successfully countered the offside and got a single shot!!!"
