Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 214 Lore See lore again, fortunately we have Lin!
"Manchester City once again made personnel adjustments. They replaced Jovetic and replaced No. 10 Lin Quan."

"Pellegrini's substitution came too late, and the regular time is almost over. At this time, Lin Quan is coming up, do you expect him to score in the last few minutes?"

He Wei was powerless to complain, why don't you change people sooner?

The game is almost over at this time, and there is not enough time for substitutions now, Manchester City will definitely be dragged into overtime by the opponent.

"Looking at Pellegrini's plan, he probably wants the main players to get more rest? But it seems a bit self-defeating."

"Well, although Manchester City has half of the substitutes, there are still half of the main players on the field. These people play the whole game and even play overtime. Their physical exertion will be very huge."

"Two days later, they will go to an away game against Sunderland. After such consumption, Manchester City's record in the Premier League may be affected!"

Seeing that Lin Quan had no time to warm up and was replaced directly, the two attacked Pellegrini even more violently.

"Pellegrini is too greedy, he wants everything, and he probably won't get anything in the end!"

Xu Yang nodded and agreed:
"In a multi-line battle, even a rich team with a deep foundation needs to make a choice, let alone an upstart in the Premier League like Manchester City?"

"The League Cup and even the FA Cup are things that can be discarded. I think they should focus on the league and the Champions League!"

"Yes, for Manchester City, which aspires to become a giant, only by winning more championships in the league and making more knockout rounds in the Champions League can they gain the recognition of the fans and officially squeeze into the ranks of the giants of the Premier League!"

Naturally, Lin Quan couldn't hear this on the field thousands of miles away.

For Pellegrini's choice not to give up the League Cup, Lin Quan is actually very supportive.

The reason is also very simple, you can earn more points if you win more games.

In the game against Chelsea before, it was because of his upside-down golden hook skills that he spent 30 points from the system mall that he completed that earth-shattering goal.

After spending 30 points, Lin Quan now only has 10 points left.

As Manchester City played more and more games on various fronts, Lin Quan's physical fitness began to be greatly tested.

If he doesn't want to take regular walks in the frontcourt to save energy like Messi, he must upgrade his physical talent to the next level as soon as possible.

Currently Lin Quan's physical talent is a level 30 talent worth 70 points, and [-] points are needed to reach the full level.

70 points are really too much for him now, and he probably won't be able to get them together until the end of the season.

So he planned to save 20 points first and upgrade his physical talent to level 4.

In this case, the upper limit of physical fitness and the speed of passive recovery can be greatly improved, which should be able to meet the needs of the current game.

For the sake of points, this game must be won!
"Lin, is it okay that you didn't warm up?"

Aguero saw that Lin Quan came up without warming up, and worried that he might be injured due to his sudden strenuous exercise.

"It doesn't matter, time is running out, we must seize the time to resolve the battle, and we cannot let the opponent drag the game into overtime!"

"Yes, I know!"

Aguero nodded heavily. If he can get off work early, who would like to play for another 10 minutes?

"Attention, the opponent's number ten is coming up, keep an eye on him, someone let him spoil our good deed!"

Seeing Lin Quan playing, the Wigan Athletic players immediately raised their vigilance.

As the saying goes, the name of a person is the shadow of a tree.

As Lin Quan's performance in the Premier League and Champions League is getting better and better, his popularity is also rising.

Even the English Championship team has heard of him for a long time.

Although Lin Quan was placed on the bench by Pellegrini in this game, in the tactical arrangement before the game, Wigan Athletic still listed Lin Quan as the team's number one threat.

With the experience of successfully freezing Aguero before, Wigan Athletic followed suit and planned to use the same method to limit Lin Quan.

However, they soon discovered that this trick didn't seem to work?

Because the position on the field is not fixed, it is difficult to completely restrict him whether it is a special man-mark or a zone-assisted defense.

And Lin Quan is different from Aguero, he can organize, break through and score goals.

Once you let him close to your own goal, the defensive player is faced with a difficult choice.

Is it to prevent him from passing the ball, or to prevent him from breaking through and shooting?

For the first time, the defensive players carefully chose their positions to prevent Lin Quan from breaking through and shooting.

Seeing that the opponent did not choose to get too close, Lin Quan decisively sent a through kick.

This pass pierced Wigan Athletic's defense, but Aguero's start was a little early. When the ball was received, the linesman had already raised the flag to signal him offside.

Wigan Athletic defenders were scared out of a cold sweat!
They immediately realized how terrifying this guy was!

You can't give him space to pass the ball, you have to post it!

However, when they really did this, Lin Quan easily passed the defensive player who charged too far forward with a beautiful deep-fried ball, and rushed into the penalty area.

The players of Wigan Athletic were all numb, they rushed towards Lin Quan in a swarm, trying to prevent him from shooting.

On the other hand, Lin Quan easily passed the ball to Aguero who was open, and the latter pushed a shot to help the team rewrite the score.

1: 0!

Manchester City finally broke the deadlock in the 89th minute of the second half.

Wigan Athletic players are disappointed!
Persisted for almost the entire game, because one mistake completely ruined it.

They are so unwilling!
In the end, with Aguero's goal, Manchester City defeated their opponents at home with difficulty and advanced to the next round of the League Cup.

Although Manchester City won this game, it was too ugly to win.

After the game, the Manchester City players were not in the mood to celebrate either, especially the main players who played the whole game, and ran back to the locker room in despair.

After being frustrated for a while, the Wigan Athletic players quickly adjusted.

For them, an early exit from the League Cup may still be a good thing.

In this way, they can concentrate on playing in the league and strive to accumulate enough points to return to the Premier League.

"Lin, can I exchange jerseys with you?"

After the game, when leaving the field, Wigan Athletic's midfielder Jody Gomez ran over and asked with some embarrassment.

Hody, like Lin Quan, is also a player who was born in the La Masia youth training camp.

The difference is that he belongs to the kind of person who didn't make a name for himself.

In the 2007-2008 season, because of his mediocre talent, Hodi was forced to leave the Barcelona youth team after his contract expired without getting a renewal from Barcelona.

Since then, in order to be able to play football, he had to switch between several teams in several major leagues.

However, due to his lack of strength, he has been unable to sit firmly in the main position.

This made him a little inferior. He was almost ten years older than Lin Quan, but in front of Lin Quan, he was as humble as a junior.

"No problem at all!"

Hearing the other party talking to himself in Spanish, Lin Quan was a little surprised at first.

But it's not surprising if you think about it carefully. In recent years, Spanish midfielders have been very popular all over the world.

It doesn't seem surprising that a Championship team hires a Spanish midfielder.

After taking off his jersey and handing it over to the opponent, Lin Quan also reached out and shook hands with Hodi:

"Come on, I hope to see you in the Premier League next year!"

"Thank you for your blessings, and I hope you can lead the team to win the World Cup next year!"

After receiving Lin Quan's encouragement, Huo Di let go a little, and summoned up the courage to send out his blessing.

Lin Quan nodded, made a gesture of clenching his fists, said nothing, and quickly returned to the locker room with the opponent's jersey.

……

There are too many underdogs in the League Cup, so the Premier League teams have basically passed the test smoothly.

On the contrary, Liverpool and Manchester United were unlucky, and they drew each other in the third round.

But this time, Manchester United, playing at home, had the last laugh.

After 10 and 1 minutes of fierce fighting, they defeated Liverpool 0:[-], which is regarded as revenge for Anfield.

The popularity of the League Cup is not high, and the outside world does not pay much attention to this kind of game, and even the media reports are relatively rare.

But Manchester City has its own heat, so after the game, there were still some voices criticizing Manchester City.

The criticisms of these newspapers are nothing new, they are still repeating the same old tune, thinking that Manchester City is too dependent on Lin Quan.

They believe that without Lin Quan's god-level performance to help the team kill the opponent after playing, Manchester City may not win this game.

"This Manchester City team always gives people a feeling similar to Barcelona!"

"People often ask, is Messi a system player and can he survive after leaving Barcelona?"

"I think this game should give the answer!"

Although it is a tabloid, the analysis of one of the newspapers is quite reasonable.

"One thing to say, it's true. When Messi couldn't play, Barcelona played ugly. The whole team seemed to have no backbone. They didn't know how to complete the attack. The Celtics played away in the Champions League before. That game was like that, it was exactly the same situation as Manchester City played in this game!"

Some fans who are paying attention to Barcelona and Manchester City at the same time agree with this view.

"So, I think the debate about whether Messi is a system player can be closed:

That's right, Messi is a system player, but he is the one with his own system. Without him, Barcelona's entire system will collapse directly! "

"And Manchester City is gradually becoming Barcelona!"

……

"Become Barcelona? Is there such a good thing?"

After hearing the comments from the outside world, the fans of Manchester City not only did not feel worried, but their eyes lit up.

Barcelona can be said to be the most successful club in football in the past few years. In the past five years, they not only won the Champions League twice, but also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League many times.

If Manchester City can really copy Barcelona's successful path and become a top team like Barcelona, ​​then Blue Moon fans will wake up from their dreams.

Therefore, they don't care about criticism from the outside world at all!
We have such a powerful superstar Lin, why can't we rely on him?
There is nothing wrong with relying on him!
As a result, they seemed dismissive of criticism from the outside world. Before the start of the No. 11 round, they organized an expeditionary force of 5000 people to march to Sunderland in a mighty way, ready to cheer for the team.

Sunderland feels like a big enemy for the arrival of Manchester City, facing such an invincible team.

They set up a bus at their home court, only put a forward in the frontcourt, and everyone else shrunk back to their own half, not seeking to win, just to get a point from Manchester City.

Breaking dense defenses is a worldwide problem. Facing Sunderland's bus, Manchester City almost broke their teeth, and they were unable to shake the opponent's defense.

In the second half, the disadvantages of the team's continuous combat began to emerge, and many Manchester City players began to suffer from lack of physical strength.

Although Pellegrini made timely substitution adjustments, it still did not have a good effect.

No.80 minutes into the game, the score was still 0:0.
In the second half, Sunderland even replaced the front striker and replaced it with a defensive player to strengthen the defense.

Obviously, they intend to stick to this score.

Although the team was crushed by the opponent at halftime at their home court, the Black Cat fans who came to the Stadium of Light to watch the game did not feel depressed at all.

On the contrary, they felt very proud and sang the team song one by one. Every time the team defended successfully, they would give warm applause.

If they were facing other ordinary teams, they might boo them if they played so conservatively at home.

However, the opponent is Manchester City, the team with the strongest offensive firepower in the Premier League this season, and the only team that has maintained an unbeaten record so far.

Facing such a team, it should be conservative.

"Too despicable!"

"It's shameless, playing like this at home!"

"Shameless, too shameless!"

The Manchester City fans who accompanied the team on the expedition saw the opponent's appearance, and they all cursed.

They suddenly felt very worried in their hearts, not just worried about the result of this game, but worried about Manchester City's next game.

If Sunderland's strategy succeeds this time and they really get a point from Manchester City.

Then, when facing Manchester City, other teams, especially the mid-lower teams, will definitely follow suit and ride the bus with them.

If every team puts a bus when they meet Manchester City, then Manchester City's next game will be very difficult to play.

Seeing that the two teams were about to draw a goalless draw, Lin Quan stood up.

In the last minute of regular time, Manchester City won a free kick in the frontcourt.

Lin Quan chose to take the penalty by himself. He had two options for this goal: the elevator ball or the falling leaf ball.

The elevator ball has a higher probability of scoring, but the penalty is more difficult and there is a possibility of failure.

The deciduous ball is more confident in kicking it, but the quality of his deciduous ball is not top-notch, and it is better defensively than the elevator ball.

Therefore, after weighing it for a while, Lin Quan finally chose the elevator ball, which is more risky and more profitable.

After setting the position of the football, Lin Quan stepped back step by step.

Sunderland's goalkeeper saw Lin Quan take a dozen steps back, and the alarm bells rang in his heart.

He feels the danger!
However, feeling the danger does not mean he can prevent the opponent from scoring.

After the referee whistled, Lin Quan quickly rushed towards the football.

One step, two steps, three steps, he has adjusted his steps while running, and completed the final charge.

boom!
With a loud bang, the football was kicked into shape, and it made a 'woo-woo' sound similar to crying, and flew up towards the sky whistling.

The Sunderland players lined up on the wall jumped up and tried to intercept the ball.

However, the football was much higher than the height they jumped up, and they didn't touch the ball at all.

Did the ball not hold down?
Seeing the football flying so high, the Sunderland players couldn't help but think this way.

According to common sense, the flight trajectory of this ball is so high, it will definitely fly to the stands.

However, just when they thought the ball was hit high, the football suddenly hit the ground straight and fell into the net before the goalkeeper's saving action was completed!

There was a dead silence at the scene, and Sunderland was dumbfounded, his singing voice was stuck in his throat and could not be uttered.

Relying on Lin Quan's goal in the last minute of regular time, Manchester City beat the opponent away!
If you count the assist he gave to Aguero when he came off the bench in the final stage of the League Cup, this is already Lin Quan's two consecutive games to help the team complete the lore at the last moment.

On the coach's bench, Pellegrini saw Lin Quan score directly with a free kick, and excitedly hugged the assistant coaches around him warmly.

The Manchester City players on the field also rushed towards Lin Quan like crazy, threw him to the ground, and celebrated wildly.

At this moment, they had exactly the same thoughts as the Manchester City fans: Fortunately, we have Lin!
