Chapter 58 Cheers At Veltins Stadium!

As Lin Chen continued to score goals, his influence also increased.

The match between Schalke 04 and Mainz was originally just an unimportant game.

But the high ratings shocked the staff of Sports 5, far higher than the ratings of other leagues, even the giants matchup.

September 27.

At 2:30 p.m. German time, the game kicked off early.

As soon as the Schalke 04 players came out of the player tunnel, they were warmly welcomed by the fans.

When Lin Chen appeared in the sight of the fans, the welcome sound of the entire Veltins Stadium reached a climax.

In this game, Mainz also knew that their strength was not as good as Schalke 04, not to mention that the opponent had a scorer like Lin Chen.

Therefore, German coach Sandro also directly arranged a formation of 5 defenders.

But Tedesco was also prepared.

Two days before the game, Schalke 04 focused on rehearsing high-position pressing and anti-offside tactics.

Among them, the anti-offside tactic was specially prepared for Lin Chen. When he saw the speed shown by Lin Chen in the last game, Tedesco formulated this tactic without hesitation.

Of course, as the most important part of the team, Lin Chen also plays a big role in the team's high press.

After all, a very important aspect of high-position pressing is to cut off Mainz's lateral pass. Among them, Lin Chen's physical fitness in the frontcourt has also greatly improved the team's ability to get the ball in the frontcourt.

The process of the game did not exceed Tedesco's expectations.

Seventh minute.

Schalke took advantage of Mainz's unsteady start when they found their chance.

Zelda's sudden grab broke the ball at the feet of Cameroon international Ma Long, and then launched a counterattack directly, advancing along the left.

After seeing the Mainz player's attack, he passed the ball directly to McKenney in the middle.

The latter was also closely marked by the Mainz defenders, so McKennie did not choose to advance directly after receiving the ball, but protected the ball under his feet first.

At this moment, Lin Chen was already rushing into the penalty area at high speed. Seeing Lin Chen roaring, McKenney directly kicked over the top and penetrated Mainz's defense.

The ball happened to land on Lin Chen's forward path. Faced with the opponent's central defender Niakat's malicious impact on his body, Lin Chen directly knocked him to the ground on the way.

Then Lin Chen directly drove the ball into the penalty area, and directly shot through the goal of Mainz!

Mainz goalkeeper Florian was scored before he even had time to react.

"In the face of the malicious defense of the Mainz defenders, Lin Chen didn't express too much, and directly used physical confrontation to prove that he couldn't defend himself like this!"

"The subsequent goal was also very decisive! Only seven minutes into the game and the score became 1-0!"

Mainz coach Sandro frowned at this time.

Niakat's small defensive moves were specially arranged by Sandro before the game, but it seems that the effect of defending Lin Chen is not very good.

Sandro shook his head, and then arranged for the defenders to step up their defensive actions, even if they were yellow cards.

In this game, in order to defend against Lin Chen's impact, Sandro made up his mind before the game to use all three substitutions on defenders.

In other words, they want to use constant fouls to prevent Lin Chen from scoring goals.

But Lin Chen's subsequent performance did not make Sandro's arrangement successful.

Thirty-four minutes.

Lin Chen once again broke free from Malone's pull near the middle circle, and retreated back to receive the pass from the player.

After receiving the pass from McKenney, Lin Chen directly distributed the ball to the left winger Kono who was rushing at high speed.

Because Mainz's offensive formation was too high this time, Kono continued to advance along the right after receiving the ball, and was only intercepted when he was close to the penalty area.

The moment Lin Chen received the ball from Kono, he also turned around and ran back, passing the opposite midfielder in an instant.

"Kono!"

Lin Chen called Kono's name while running, and the latter immediately understood and stuffed the ball directly into the penalty area.

Lin Chen accelerated again and passed directly past the defender. Niakat was caught off guard and wanted to hold Lin Chen with his hand, but he was caught in vain.

"Mainz's defense is flawed, Lin Chen has already entered the penalty area!"

"Nia Kate was still reaching out to signal the line referee Lin Chen to be offside, but the line referee did not raise the flag!"

"Lin Chen took a shot!"

"The ball went in!"

Lin Chen didn't wait for the goalkeeper Florian to pounce on him, and directly pushed a little near the penalty spot, and the ball passed by the goalkeeper and entered the goal.

2-0!

Another burst of cheers erupted at the Veltins Stadium.

Without waiting for the Mainz players to come back to their senses.

Forty-first minute.

After Lin Chen got the ball in the middle circle again, he distributed the ball to Mark Utt who was plugging in.

After receiving the ball, Marco Ut didn't stop, dribbling on the right side for a while, passing two defensive players one after another.

Then when he came to the corner area, Makwut glanced at the penalty area, and then made a cross.

Lin Chen in the penalty area threw off the double-teaming of the opponent's two defenders and rose directly to the ground.
