"Front: Asensio, Morata, Gaya."

Captain Ramos leads the team and the game will start in a few minutes!

"Norway kicked off, and their formation was 442. Norway's attacking style is also very unique. They let Odegaard, who was originally a midfielder, play as a winger in order to give full play to his crossing ability and create header opportunities for Sørloth and Joshua King!"

The reason why the Norwegian team arranged a 442 formation that can make full use of the flanks of the field is to help the two center forwards, especially Sørloth on the forward line, get offensive opportunities.

After the game started, Ramos was responsible for marking Sorloth. In the early stage, the Spanish team did not have too many problems in defense, but because the lineup was just formed, the players did not have a high level of tacit understanding, and the tactical training time together was not long enough, and the Norwegian team soon got the first chance to attack!

The 19th minute of the game!

"Odegaard stayed on the right side after the start of the game, and the long pass from the backcourt was still looking for Odegaard."

"Long diagonal pass!"

"Sorlot!!!"

“He couldn’t reach the top power due to Ramos’ interference, Joshua King followed up and fought again!”

Sorloth failed to get enough power in his first attempt, but he successfully kept the ball in the penalty area, leaving Ramos unable to deal with it.

Inigo Martinez blocked Joshua King head-on and blocked Joshua King's first shot with his belly!

Rodri hurried to protect the second landing point!

"Rodri turned around with the ball and was pulled down by a Norwegian player. The referee called a foul!"

"Norway's playing style is very unique. When attacking, the two wingers will not press forward. They do not change the formation to 424. When attacking, they still use 442. Whenever there is a chance, the wingers will pass the ball high to find Sørloth."

"And when they were defending, they fouled as early as possible to prevent Spain from counterattacking."

"Although the word counterattack had nothing to do with the Spanish team for a long time, after the World Cup began, due to Lin Chen's joining, Spain has derived a new style of play. Now counterattack has become their more adept tactical style!"

However, Lin Chen has been feeling a bit tricky since the start of the game, because center forward Diego Costa has not been called up to the national team due to his recent poor form.

Although Morata has performed well in the club, he has been having problems with both his left and right feet since the start of this game and has been unable to get a chance to shoot.

As a result, Spain allowed Norway to get more and more opportunities, especially in set pieces. Every time Sørloth headed the ball, Spanish fans could not help but worry.

"I get scared whenever I see the ball flying towards Sollot!"

"This kind of center forward is indeed very popular in football. In two years, Sollot will hopefully grow into a super center forward!"

"After changing the lineup, I feel that the threat from the Spanish team is decreasing."

Lin Chen has been passively retreating to the penalty area, especially during set pieces.

In the 26th minute of the game, Joshua King's long shot hit Inigo Martinez and bounced out of the bottom line. Norway got another corner kick opportunity. Odegaard stepped forward and raised his hand to signal!

Lin Chen returned to Sorlot's side, and as Odegaard took a corner kick, Lin Chen jumped up immediately, and Gullit's skills shone!

"boom!"

"Header clearance!"

"Sorlot is still a little naive in front of Lin Chen!"

"After the game started, although Lin Chen did not play a role on the offensive end, he frequently showed outstanding performances on the defensive end. In fact, this is also a manifestation of the weakness of the Spanish striker. If the offensive firepower is not strong enough, the midfielders and backfielders will be under greater pressure!"

Rodri has already recovered from his initial nervousness. After all, it was his first major national team competition and his first start, so Rodri was indeed a little nervous.

But with Lin Chen's outstanding performance, Rodri seemed to have regained his feeling in Liverpool.

Because when he was in Liverpool, he and Lin Chen were midfield partners.

As Norway had more and more offensive opportunities, Lin Chen did not feel the pressure. He just continued to do his job well and waited for opportunities.

Although the Norwegian team has Odegaard, Sørloth and Krzysztof Yakin, their overall strength is not actually very strong. They often find it difficult to enter the finals of the World Cup and European Cup, and are often eliminated in the qualifiers.

The main reason why the Norwegian team cannot enter the competition is that their midfield and backcourt are indeed weak.

The 32th minute of the game!

Odegaard made another long pass from the wing, but this time it was blocked by Asensio who was returning to defense. The ball hit Asensio and bounced towards the middle!

Lin Chen and Rodri ran towards the landing point almost at the same time. Rodri wanted to stop, but he saw Lin Chen's gesture to him. Then Rodri gradually slowed down his movement speed, but still kept running forward.

Lin Chen quickly ran to the landing point, did not stop the ball, but pushed the ball back to Rodri in front of him, then turned around and started!

Morata also realized that Rodri wanted to play a pass-and-run tactic, so he and Lin Chen started at the same time!

This is to give Rodri an additional passing option. Rodri can choose to pass to him or to Lin Chen!

Morata was originally closer to the goal than Lin Chen, but Lin Chen left Morata behind after two steps. Then Morata watched Lin Chen receive Rodri's pass and run out for a single shot!

"Lin Chen single-handedly!"

"beat!"

"In!!!"

"What a great shot! What a great teamwork! Teamwork from Liverpool!"

"Spain is one goal ahead of Norway!"

"Before the game, I saw some people discussing whether Lin Chen deserved the No. 10 jersey, although I don't know why there are fans asking such a question."

"But judging from what happened just now, I think a lot of people are asking the wrong question!"

"It's not about whether Lin Chen is worthy of the number 10 jersey, but only the Spanish number 10 jersey is worthy of Lin Chen!"
