Stoke City only won one more game than West Bromwich Albion and is ranked second from the bottom with 5 points.

No one in Liverpool mentioned the Golden Boy Award, but Lin Chen could feel that both Klopp and his good brothers around him obviously wanted to help him perform better.

On November 11, the Premier League season officially kicked off, and the opponent was West Bromwich Albion.

Klopp sent out a half-rotation starter, with Lin Chen leading the midfield.

After the start of the game, West Bromwich Albion was powerless against Liverpool, which had a half-rotated lineup, and was defeated step by step.

Fans had predicted it would be a bloodbath.

"Liverpool will score at least three goals, and if they are in better form they will score four or five goals, after all, West Bromwich Albion's defense in the previous few league games was particularly poor."

"This is a great opportunity to increase the goal difference advantage, Liverpool should not miss it."

"See? With only half of the rotation, they are already overwhelming West Brom. It's only a matter of time before they score."

The fans have begun to imagine a bright future, but Ibe, the young player who started the game and is currently Liverpool's most popular young talent, fell into a sleepwalking state in this game.

I don’t know if it was because I was too nervous playing in the Premier League for the first time, or because I didn’t bring my shooting boots.

The 19th minute of the game!

"Control the ball in the middle and carry it forward."

"Lin Chen exploded very quickly and shook Long Dong off!"

After Lin Chen completed the first breakthrough, he looked up and soon saw Ibi trying to go offside.

Ibi 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 low pass!

The ball curved around defender Evans and landed accurately in front of Iby who was making an offside run!

All the Liverpool fans at the scene stood up, Jordan Ibe twisted the ball into the penalty area and kicked it!

Hit the lower right corner!

The goalkeeper even stood there in a daze, he couldn't react to this ball!

The distance was too close, but Ibi's shot actually hit the post and went out of bounds, failing to score? !

The Liverpool fans at the scene were in an uproar, and their exclamations even reached the ears of the fans in the live broadcast room!

"It's much harder to miss this shot than to score it!" Coach James was speechless.

"Ibi is too focused on the angle. This is a one-on-one shot, not a very difficult one."

"TMD pushed it to the near corner early, hit a ground ball, this ball will definitely go in!"

Coach Zhang on the side also spoke up.

"Ibe is too young. He thinks too much after he comes on the court and always wants to give his best performance. However, this state often causes him to miss some key opportunities."

The game continued. Ibi's movements were indeed beautiful. His frequent offside runs always created opportunities, but the final shot was always a little lacking.

Lin Chen gradually realized that it might not be realistic to rely on Ibi to score goals.

Barnett in the stands wanted to take out a Barrett, shoot Iby in the head with a sniper shot, and then let Firmino take the field.

Ibi wasted at least two of Lin Chen's wonderful assists, which also indirectly lowered Lin Chen's performance score in this game.

At the same time, West Bromwich Albion played a solid defense. The 460 formation meant there were almost no forwards, and even center forward Longdong would frequently retreat to midfield to assist in defense.

Lin Chen's attack was gradually blocked, and he enjoyed the treatment like a king of football in the middle.

As long as they have the ball, with at least three and at most four people around them, West Bromwich Albion relies entirely on their numerical advantage to build up defense and just want to get one point.

"West Bromwich Albion's tactical intention was very clear. They had no intention of winning at all. Any point would be a victory."

"For them who want to avoid relegation, getting a point against a team like Liverpool is of great significance."

Lingchen began to actively dribble the ball forward, increasing collisions and breakthroughs. His strong body rushed across the midfield. Even with three people on defense, it was difficult for West Bromwich Albion to stop Lingchen's advancement.

The 39th minute of the game!

"Lin Chen continued to press forward with the ball, and there was another three-person wall."

Facing a triple-team, Lin Chen lowered his shoulders and cut inside, then suddenly made a V-shaped pull to change the direction of advance, instantly shaking off the two men!

Just as he was about to break through successfully, Long Dong behind him pulled hard. Long Dong, who was already strong, almost threw his entire body out just to commit a foul!

Lin Chen's advance was stopped, and the referee immediately rushed over and showed Long Dong a yellow card.

"Lin Chen is still that humanoid tank, and his propulsion ability is still very strong."

"But what Liverpool needs now is goals. With only half of the main players rotated, especially after all three forwards were rotated out, Liverpool's offensive firepower has dropped significantly, and it all depends on Lin Chen to support the midfield."

At the end of the first half, Klopp made a quick decision to make substitutions, and all the main trident in the frontcourt appeared on the field.

Klopp was very disappointed with Ibe. He gradually discovered that this young talent, as the fans called him, did not have a high football IQ. He had speed and positioning, but did not have the ability to kill with one blow.

After analyzing Iby's first-half game, Kravitz also believed that the club should deal with Iby as soon as possible, while he still has some fame and can be sold for a good price.

Three main forwards came on as substitutes, and Liverpool fans rekindled their hope.

The second half of the game resumed quickly.

Lin Chen kept running in the midfield and turned his head quickly to observe. Before every pass, reception and stop, Lin Chen would frantically twist his head to the left and right.

He had to observe every step he took, and soon Lin Chen felt that he had memorized the running and standing positions of his three teammates in the frontcourt firmly in his mind, as if it were a replay of a movie clip!

The 62th minute of the game!

Lin Chen retreated again and turned his head to look back.

Emre Can made a short pass to Lin Chen. West Bromwich Albion's midfield and backcourt were in a relatively relaxed state because Lin Chen was holding the ball with his back to the goal, which meant that he had no awareness of the blind spot behind him.

However, Firmino seemed to sense something, and at the moment when Lin Chen was about to receive the ball, he suddenly broke out and made a forward advance after being offside!

Lin Chen, who had his back to 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 held their heads and screamed, and Coach James screamed even more!

"God-level vision pass!"

"Lin Chen actually saw Firmino in his blind spot!!!"

"There are eyes behind your head!"

"Firmino successfully beat the offside and got a one-on-one chance!!!"
