My football skills are so strong! I am the king of control

“I’ve never seen that before!”

Even the experienced coach Zhang was surprised.

"What kind of tactic is this??"

"Could it be..."

"Mid-back??!"

After saying the central midfielder's name, even Coach Zhang himself couldn't believe what he had just said.

He had only heard of this tactical term in a documentary about the Dutch national team in his early years.

Cruyff mentioned it once, and it was just a concept at the time. No action was taken. Even Cruyff thought it was a completely unrealistic idea.

"We still don't know what the core of the central defensive midfielder tactic is."

"But if we just look at the name, it should be required that the central defender presses forward to the defensive midfielder position, or even dribbles the ball to the midfield alone to help the team's midfield organize the attack."

"That's a very demanding role for a centre-back and it's clear that Guardiola is using Stones to play that role."

The sound of passing the ball was extremely crisp on the field. Manchester City firmly controlled the ball and gradually resolved Liverpool's super high pressure.

Klopp came to the sidelines with his hands down, signaling the players to keep the rhythm steady to avoid wasting energy due to excessive pressure.

Lin Chen gradually retreated to the midfield position and began to observe. The more he observed, the more worried he became, because he could not understand Manchester City's tactics at all.

Manchester City has obviously become familiar with this new tactic and is playing very effectively!

The 16th minute of the game!

“Stones drives the ball up the pitch again and passes it to David Silva.”

"Stones did not return to the central defender position after passing the ball, but moved forward to meet David Silva."

"Sure enough, the magician passed the ball back to Stones, and Liverpool's midfield was always in a passive situation because they were always suppressed by Manchester City's numerical advantage."

"Because of Stones's position with the ball, Manchester City will have one more player in the midfield. They are four against three!"

As he was speaking, Stones pressed with the ball, then passed the ball to the right side from the outside corner, accurately finding Sterling!

Sterling has got a one-on-one opportunity!

Facing Robertson's instant outburst, Sterling raised his buttocks, pushed the ground with his legs, and quickly completed the breakthrough!

Liverpool fans booed and mocked Sterling!

"Sterling successfully broke through to the bottom!"

"There's a chance to cross the ball, inverted triangle!"

"Aguero!!!"

Sterling passed the ball to Aguero with a triangle, and Aguero kicked it!

He almost twisted his body 270 degrees, without even adjusting his pace, and swung his thick calves to shoot the ball towards the goal!

Mignolet made a save, but Lovren fell to the ground and blocked the shot with his body!

A huge noise was heard and the ball bounced into the penalty area, leaving a chance for a follow-up shot!

"Aguero keeps up and wants to fight again!"

"Matip made a quick clearance and finally resolved the crisis!"

"From the replay of the live footage, Aguero's muscles were tense when he shot, especially his thigh and calf muscles, which bulged quickly. It looked very scary!"

"There was a very interesting news story that said Aguero had specially consulted a physiotherapist because his thighs were too thick. As a result, Aguero could not sleep on his side, otherwise the muscles of his two thighs would be pressed together, which would cause him great pain."

"This also reflects Aguero's shooting skills, a real heavy hitter!"

"In the penalty area, his shots would catch the goalkeeper off guard."

Manchester City relied on a new central midfielder tactic to firmly suppress Liverpool.

Liverpool fans felt fear for the first time. This was the first time since the start of the season that they saw Liverpool so passive on the field, and even being suppressed without any ability to fight back.

"The game has already gone on for 20 minutes and Manchester City has 70% of the ball possession, which is terrifying!"

"Liverpool players almost passively followed the ball, and Manchester City had more and more opportunities."

The 31th minute of the game!

Lin Chen frantically retreated to participate in the defense, and Manchester City's attack came back.

De Bruyne passed the ball to David Silva, and Lin Chen immediately rushed forward to grab the ball.

But David Silva cleverly passed the ball back to De Bruyne.

Henders was forced to step forward to face De Bruyne one-on-one. The Belgian genius lowered his shoulders, cut inside to create a slight angle, and then turned around with the inside of his ankle!

A beautiful arc, sliding along the grass in a wonderful trajectory, heading straight to the left!

A rainbow-like through pass!

Gomez staggered and turned, but Sane exploded and started, breaking into the penalty area while receiving the ball, stopping and dribbling past Gomez, and shooting towards the goal at a small angle!

Mignolet stood there in a daze. The distance was too close for him to react at all.

The eyes of all the players on Liverpool's defense followed the goal into the net!

"GOAL!!!!!"

In the Sky Sports commentary room, Manchester City legend Richards stood up and applauded!

"nice shot!!!"

"Sane played well, Manchester City took the lead!"

"Manchester City's central defensive midfielder tactics are powerful!"

"Oh my god, Guardiola actually has this trick up his sleeve. I've never seen Manchester City use this tactic today, but it's obviously working. They completely pinned Liverpool down in their half and rubbed them repeatedly!"

"Manchester City controls the ball, controls the offensive rhythm, controls everything. They are the overlords of this game!"

Liverpool legend Gerrard said nothing, watching Richards' excited performance quietly, and just raised his middle finger under the table.

Klopp stood on the sidelines and pondered. He knew he had to find a solution as soon as possible.

Lin Chen was still thinking. Even though his team conceded a goal, he did not feel nervous or worried.

He knew that as long as they found a solution, Liverpool would be able to turn the tide in their home court!

After the game resumed, Liverpool was still on the defensive, Manchester City was still pressing forward, and Liverpool fans saw no hope of winning.

Major live broadcast rooms.

"The old thief Guardiola actually kept this trick up his sleeve just to deal with Liverpool!"

"The great thing about Guardiola is that he always innovates."

"Everything that is dangerous is just being innovated. Guardiola is creating new dangers!"

The fans were all crazy about Guardiola's new tactics. At this time, Lin Chen, who had been involved in defense in the midfield, suddenly began to change his running style.

I saw a black shadow striding towards the front court, especially when Stones was dribbling forward, Lin Chen would always start at the same time and make a counter-run towards Stones!

Guardiola's heart tightened on the sidelines, while Lin Chen's mouth corners slightly raised at this time.

Lin Chen knew that doing so might not completely block Guardiola's central midfielder tactics, but it might be able to save Liverpool from danger!

Maybe I found it...

Break! Solve! The way!
