Lin Chen had even already figured out his attack plan for the next three steps.

While waiting for Fabinho to receive the ball, Fabinho did not press forward to receive the ball, but retreated and waited in a relatively safe position to meet Arnold.

Arnold had no choice but to pass the ball back to Henderson, and Liverpool reorganized the attack.

Coach's bench.

Klopp seemed to be adjusting the hat on his head, but in fact he was trying hard to suppress his desire to yell at Fabinho.

He knows that this is something every player needs to get used to in the process of integrating into the team.

Fabinho plays as a defensive midfielder in Monaco. His task is to ensure that the midfield does not lose the ball rather than trying to pass the ball forward more.

Scholes soon discovered the problem.

"For an average team, Fabinho's choice was absolutely correct because it would ensure that the team would at least not be counterattacked by the opponent."

"But for a team like Liverpool, they need a solid defense and a sharp attack."

"Fabinho is no longer just a defensive midfielder, he needs to take on more responsibilities."

"Every player must have more characteristics to be able to play as a starter in a top team like Liverpool."

Ashley Cole on the side nodded repeatedly. He once played for the top club Chelsea and he knew what Scholes said was right.

"From the current performance, Fabinho still needs to continue to integrate, and Van Dijk has not had many opportunities to perform."

At this time, Lin Chen had retreated and came to Fabinho.

"Remember the play we practiced in closed training? When we attack, you press forward from the left side instead of dropping back."

Lin Chen reminded Fabinho with a smile on his face.

He doesn't want to put pressure on his teammates, he just wants to make them more confident through encouragement.

Fabinho nodded at Lin Chen and said, "It was my fault just now. These habits seem to have been engraved in my habits, but I will change."

Lin Chen ran back to his position and said, "You are right, we didn't lose the ball, but you need to be more confident, otherwise you won't be able to get your position in such fierce competition."

Van Dijk heard the conversation between the two. In fact, he has been very careful and cautious since the start of the game.

Originally at Southampton, I was at most responsible for defensive tasks. If I could have a few good passes from the backcourt, it would be like a godsend for Southampton.

But in Liverpool, these are the most basic requirements!

Van Dijk always kept the tactics in mind.

Layered defense and layered offense. The ball must be accurate from the backcourt, mainly to the two sides...

While he was thinking, Matip passed the ball to Van Dijk. As Van Dijk received the ball, he suddenly looked up and saw Lin Chen smiling at him in the midfield.

"boom!"

Get up!

Half high ball delivery!

Lin Chen chested the ball steadily, and he became more and more confident in Van Dijk.

This is the central defender Klopp wants, who has accurate backcourt passes and a sense of the overall situation. His eyes can not only focus on the backcourt, but also see farther empty spaces, so as to choose the correct offensive direction for his teammates.

Van Dyke did it!

Klopp also nodded secretly on the sidelines.

Lin Chen chested the ball, pushed it back quickly, passed it to the right side, and handed it to the full-back Arnold.

When Arnold got the ball, he observed with his peripheral vision that this time Fabinho moved to the front position on the left!

Quick step and diagonal pass!

Fabinho got the ball and adjusted himself, and before Thomas could get in front of him, he made a pass to the left and passed it to Mane!

Smooth attack began to emerge, this is Liverpool's new tactical system!

By having one side of the full-back press forward, the space for the midfield to press forward is freed up, and then through aggressive passes from the midfield, one-on-one opportunities are created on the wing!
