During halftime, Instructor Zhan and Instructor Zhang were chatting with the Fans in the live stream room.
"Bang!!!"
A loud noise!
The Little Assistant, holding the substitution document, rushed in like a madman, paying tribute to Lin Chen with a flying kick, and burst directly into the studio!
"Boss."
"Boss!"
Instructor Zhan's coffee was startled, spilling half a cup, and he turned to look at the Little Assistant with a furious expression.
"You'd better make me happy within three seconds, or you don't need to come to work tomorrow!"
The Little Assistant immediately raised the substitution document in his hand, as if it were a death-exempting gold medal.
"Boss!"
"Liverpool is making a substitution!"
"Lin Chen is coming on!!!"
Instructor Zhang snatched the document, which clearly stated:
Lin Chen, wearing the number 69 youth training jersey, replaces Wijnaldum and comes on as a substitute!
After repeatedly confirming the document was correct, Instructor Zhan immediately delivered the good news to the Fans.
"Latest news!"
"Liverpool has made a substitution, young player Lin Chen comes on as a substitute!"
Fans in the live stream room.
"Is it real or fake? Is it real or fake??? "
"Who let Lin Chen on? Are they waiting for him to be crashed to death by Doucouré?"
"Who taught Klopp to make such a substitution? Letting a 17-year-old kid go up against Doucouré, are you kidding me?"
"Crazy, Liverpool must be crazy. I was still looking forward to a comeback in the second half, but now it's completely ruined!"
The first subconscious reaction of all the Fans was that Lin Chen would definitely be killed by Doucouré or Chalobah.
After all, Doucouré and Chalobah's strong bodies and bulging muscles were visible to the naked eye.
And Lin Chen, in the Fans' impression, was still a 17-year-old youngster.
Liverpool Club had always cultivated Lin Chen as a secret weapon. Although the highlight reel of his first youth training League match went viral, that was, after all, a youth training League.
After all, the opponents were all 16 and 17-year-old kids, but what he was about to play now was the Premier League!
The most intensely competitive League in all of Europe!
Not only the China Live Stream Room, but the England Live Stream Room also exploded instantly!
In the Sky Sports commentary booth, commentators Neville, Gerrard, and Carragher were repeatedly confirming the roster.
Seeing that the substitution was indeed going to happen, Manchester United legend Neville laughed heartily, wildly mocking Gerrard and Carragher.
"It's over, it seems you've started to grasp at straws."
Neville crossed his legs and leaned comfortably back in his chair.
"It seems the only thing I need to do in the second half is enjoy the show."
A moment later, the second half of the match resumed.
Wearing the number 69 jersey, Lin Chen indeed came on, and as soon as he appeared, he was met with a barrage of boos from the home Watford Fans.
"Hey, do you think you can stop our Midfielder? Dream on!"
"Playing against kids in the youth training League is fine, but you want to go up against Doucouré?!"
"I declare Watford has officially won this match, no need to play the last 45 minutes!"
Lin Chen turned to look at the mocking Fans, showing a confident smile.
"It looks like Lin Chen isn't afraid at all, this youngster is very brave!"
Instructor Zhan secretly cheered for Lin Chen.
Liverpool Fans, although also having doubts, hoped that Lin Chen could deliver a good performance.
"Stay steady." Firmino patted Lin Chen.
"We all believe in you!"
Lin Chen nodded, returning a smile.
After the match began, Lin Chen actively moved in the Midfielder, staying by Henderson's side, first solidifying Liverpool's Midfielder defense.
But Doucouré clearly had a target in mind, repeatedly dribbling the ball specifically to find Lin Chen's side.
"We can see that after the second half began, Doucouré deliberately kept dribbling, trying to find space on Lin Chen's side, but Henderson was always able to cover in time."
In the 55th minute of the match!
Doucouré dribbled the ball again, and this time, when Henderson came to cover, Doucouré suddenly turned sideways and passed to his teammate.
He played a one-two with Sarr, successfully shaking off Henderson!
Doucouré received the return pass, turned and sprinted, with only Lin Chen in front of him now!
"Doucouré's chance!"
"One-on-one with Lin Chen, if he breaks through, Watford can launch another counter-attack!"
Lin Chen was fully concentrated, with only the ball at Doucouré's feet in his eyes.
Doucouré did two step-overs, then changed direction to the left, just about to forcibly get past Lin Chen.
But the next second.
Lin Chen judged correctly, his body moved with it, and then like a mountain, he fiercely wedged himself into the gap between Doucouré and the ball!
Doucouré, surprised, tried to exert force again, attempting to squeeze Lin Chen away.
However... Doucouré only felt that the mountain in front of him was unmoving, and instead, a huge force came, actually pushing him completely away from the ball!
Instructor Zhan was still worried, saying: "Lin Chen must be very careful, Doucouré is very strong physically..."
"Strong..."
"Oh my goodness!"
"Beautiful tackle!"
"Tough tackle!"
"Fierce tackle!"
"Lin Chen forcibly pushed Doucouré away to complete the steal!"
In the Sky Sports commentary booth, Neville subconsciously held his head in his hands, he simply couldn't believe what he had just seen.
At this moment, Lin Chen on the field, after stealing the ball, flicked it and turned, perfectly connecting, and immediately launched a counter-attack.
Without any hesitation, instead, he quickly picked up the pace!
"Lin Chen turns!"
"Liverpool switches from defense to attack!"
In an instant, the offensive and defensive roles on the field were reversed!
"Lin Chen's dribbling is very decisive, Doucouré is desperately tracking back, but speed is not his strong suit!"
Lin Chen dribbled the ball relentlessly forward, heedless of anything, as if entering a no-man's land, with only the opponent's penalty area in his sights.
Seeing no way to retreat, the center-back could only step up to tackle.
"Britos chooses to step up, this decision is a bit rash, Watford's penalty area is a bit empty."
Britos, as a center-back, chose to leave the penalty area to tackle, already prepared for the ball to pass but not the man.
Lin Chen dribbled and observed, both flanks were tightly defended by opponents, and Firmino in front of him was preparing to make an offside trap run.
Lin Chen gave a subtle look, and Firmino understood.
He no longer tried to break the offside trap, but instead suddenly dropped back, shaking off the defender and coming to Lin Chen's right.
"Snap!" Lin Chen passed sideways!
"Snap!" Firmino received the ball and played it back horizontally!
"Wall pass!"
"One-two!"
"The ball is back to Lin Chen!"
Lin Chen received the ball, and at this moment, only the exposed goalkeeper remained in front of him!
How could such an excellent opportunity be missed?
Lin Chen did not hesitate, drawing his bow and notching an arrow.
Although the distance was close, it was a powerful, explosive shot!
Lin Chen, with the force to shatter thunder, poured all his strength into the shot!
In an instant, the whole stadium was silent!
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Chen.
Liverpool Fans even raised their arms in advance, ready to cheer!
"Bang!!!"
A loud noise broke the silence!
"Swish!!!"
Following closely was the crisp sound of the ball hitting the net!
Instructor Zhan stood up and shouted: "Explosive shot!!!"
"A powerful, explosive shot!!!"
"Lin Chen!!!"
"A goal on his debut!!!"
"Propping up a collapsing building, turning the tide from a desperate situation!!!"
"Lin Chen equalizes for Liverpool!!!"
