Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 446 Sending the proposition

After the game, Guardiola's interview video was uploaded to the Internet, which immediately aroused a burst of attention and discussion among fans.

"BBC reporters are really good at causing trouble. How can Guardiola answer such a question?"

"One is the player I admired the most, and the other is the most capable general under my command now, and he is also his son. The key is that both of them are very strong and have similar styles. Guardiola is not easy to choose!"

"If Lin Quan hadn't come out of nowhere, I think Guardiola would definitely choose Messi. I heard that when he went to Bayern to coach, he often used Messi to blame Bayern players, and he would always say Messi. Sample."

"Haha, I've heard about this too. It's said that Guardiola formulated tactics according to Messi's standards and asked the players to do whatever they wanted, but found that the players couldn't do it at all. Only then did he realize that Messi is unique, so he added Determined to become a plum blossom!"

"What a pity that such a Mei Chui betrayed the organization in just a few years!"

The person who said this was obviously a Messi fan, and his tone seemed to be joking and a little helpless.

Before Lin Quan, the two of Mero were often compared together.

However, the styles of the two are actually very different, and each has its own unique advantages. If we have to make a forced comparison, we can only compare some data and honors.

But Lin Quan is different. His style is very similar to Messi, and can even be said to be exactly the same.

When he first debuted, people called him Little Messi. In the past few years, he has become more and more famous and won more and more honors that Messi has never received before. hat of.

However, when it comes to who is most like Messi in football, the first thing that fans think of is Lin Quan.

The two are about the same height and shape, and have very similar technical styles. Their position on the court, passing methods, shooting skills, etc. are almost exactly the same.

It can be said that they are carved from the same mold. Such two people can naturally be compared together.

As for the topic of who is better, Lin Quan or Messi, there has actually been discussion on the Internet for a long time.

There are many supporting Lin Quan, but more of Messi.

After all, Messi has played for so many years and has accumulated a larger fan base.

But Lin Quan's momentum is very strong. He won the World Cup, which Messi has not won, and he also won it as the core of Spain, which attracted countless fans for him.

For the younger generation of fans, they obviously prefer Lin Quan. After all, when they first started watching football, Messi was already past his peak, while Lin Quan was still at his peak and even getting stronger.

But for old fans, there are still more people who like Messi. This includes the impression points left by Messi's outstanding performance in the past few seasons, as well as the feelings about his youthful years and other factors.

"Messi was really strong back then, but unfortunately affected by injuries and the team's lineup and tactics, his current performance is not as good as before!"

"Messi is not young anymore. If he doesn't change his playing style and continues to get injured so frequently, I'm afraid he will follow in Ronaldo's footsteps. So for us coal balls, one of his games is really worth watching." !”

Messi has often suffered from injuries since 2013. This year, he has been injured continuously and missed many league and Champions League games.

The reason why Barcelona's record is so bad this year is because of Messi's absence and Neymar's departure, which has severely damaged their vitality. Not only can they not be able to compete with Real Madrid in La Liga, they can't even suppress Atletico Madrid.

Coupled with Catalonia's independence movement, Barcelona's future prospects have become confusing.

Barcelona's current situation makes fans who support them feel worried.

Compared with Barcelona, ​​which is in dire condition and has an uncertain future, Lin Quan's Manchester City obviously has a bright future.

With sufficient transfer funds, a stable management team, and powerful coaches and teammates, Manchester City already has all the conditions that a top giant should have. It is just for them to go on the field to win trophies and honors.

In fact, the discussion about who is better between Lin Quan and Messi will not come to a conclusion for a while.

But no one denies that with Lin Quan's current momentum, he will definitely replace Messi and become the most powerful player on the planet in a few years. It can even be said that he already is.

If there is no young player who can reach the heights of Melo in the future, then he is likely to end Melo's era of peerless pride and dominate football!

……

Lin Quan was not affected by the reporters' questions, but Guardiola was different.

He seemed a little guilty. In the past, he usually chose to sit with Lin Quan, but today he went to the front of the bus and sat squeezed with several assistant coaches.

"By the way, Pep, why don't you answer the reporter's questions?"

Torrent was so squeezed by Guardiola that he could only sit down on half of his buttocks, so he deliberately asked questions that Guardiola had not answered at the previous press conference to make things difficult for him.

"Only a fool answers!"

Guardiola rolled his eyes at him and said to himself, "I'm not stupid. This kind of unflattering question from both sides is obviously deliberately framed by reporters, and he won't jump into it."

After Guardiola finished speaking, he ignored his assistant, picked up the team's schedule, and began to study it seriously.

At the end of October, Manchester City still have two games to play.

One is a League Cup match against Crystal Palace, and the other is a home league match against Norwich City.

These two opponents are not strong. With Manchester City's strength and current state, it is not difficult to defeat their opponents.

Guardiola doesn't attach much importance to League Cup results, so he plans to send substitutes in the game against Crystal Palace to let them find their form.

As for the game against Norwich, it depends on the performance of these substitutes in the League Cup.

If their performance is good, then Guardiola may continue to give them opportunities. If their performance is not good, then there is nothing they can do.

At the end of every year, what Premier League teams are most worried about is getting off to a fast start during the Christmas season.

For the Premier League, which does not have a winter break, the schedule during this period is definitely a devil's schedule.

Christmas Express has a lot of games and a lot of focus battles.

Once they lose, it means losing a game worth 6 points. Even if they had a huge lead before, they can easily be caught up by their opponents here.

Coupled with the fact that there is no winter break and they cannot even go home for Christmas, the morale of the players is low and their state will be greatly affected.

If combined with the cold weather in the British Isles, this period is also a period of high incidence of injuries to players. If you are not careful, the team will be full of injured players.

Therefore, this time of year is a big test for each team, testing their bench depth and team management level.

This summer, Manchester City's signings were relatively restrained, so during the winter break, Guardiola planned to introduce another forward to supplement the team's forward line.

Although there is Jovetic on the bench, his strength does not actually meet Guardiola's requirements, and he is not the type of player he likes.

In order to cope with the possible injury wave and intensive schedule, it is necessary to further improve the team's bench depth.

Of course, if that doesn't work, you can also go to the youth team to select talents like last year. …

October 10th, League Cup, Etihad Stadium, Manchester City vs. Crystal Palace at home.

Guardiola sent a large number of substitutes and even players from the youth team to play in this game. On paper, his strength may not be much better than that of Crystal Palace.

However, this group of Manchester City substitutes defeated their opponents 5:1 at home with overwhelming force.

In this game, Son Heung-min scored twice, Iheanacho scored once, and De Bruyne, who came off the bench, scored a penalty kick.

It is worth mentioning that Manu Garcia, a 18-year-old youngster from the U17 team, came on as a substitute in the 84th minute of the game and scored a goal in stoppage time.

This goal earned him a lot of attention from the outside world, and many teams began to set their sights on this young player.

With a successful example like Lin Quan at the forefront, many teams now have a soft spot for young players who are [-] or [-] years old. People all over the world want to search for treasures to see if they can discover some things in advance that others have not. of jade.

This provides many opportunities for young players, such as Mbappe.

In the just-concluded 11th round of Ligue 82, he came on as a substitute in the 16nd minute of the game and made his first-team debut. At the age of 308 years and 1994 days, he broke the record set by Thierry Henry in [-] and became Monaco's first player. The youngest player in team history to make his first-team league debut.

This is more than a month earlier than Lin Quan’s impression that he represented the Monaco first team. Although Mbappe, who came off the bench, performed mediocre in this game, being able to appear in the French Ligue [-] at such an age is already huge. 's successful.

After the first time, as long as Monaco's own record does not drop significantly, their head coach may give Mbappe a chance to play if there is an opportunity in the future.

With the training of a competition like Ligue [-], Mbappe may become famous much earlier than before.

After relying on the substitutes to defeat his opponents at home with a big score, Guardiola's confidence increased greatly.

In the league two days later, he continued to boldly use new players, not only putting Son Heung-min into the starting lineup, but also putting Iheanacho and Manu Garcia on the bench.

Manchester City, playing at home, was full of momentum. In the first half, they led their opponents 2:0 with goals from Lin Quan and Son Heung-min.

In preparation for the Champions League game in midweek, Guardiola made bold substitutions, replacing Lin Quan and David Silva, who had only played half of the game.

Replaced with Iheanacho, Fernando and Sagna.

When these players first came on the field, Norwich seemed to have not recovered from the heavy blow in the first half and was still timid.

But after seeing through their opponents' true and false intentions, they decisively increased their offensive forces.

I don’t know if it’s the opponent’s good luck or Manchester City’s bad luck.

In the 66th minute of the second half, the opponent's shot hit the defensive player's hand, and the referee immediately awarded a penalty kick.

Manchester City's starting star in this game is not Navas, but Joe Hart.

Joe Hart's luck was really bad. He finally got a chance to play, but he encountered such a bad thing.

However, there is an old saying that if a person is extremely unlucky, he may be extremely unlucky and then turn around.

He misjudged the direction, but the opponent's shot hit his foot and was blocked.

Captain Kompany had quick eyes and quick hands and cleared the ball with one kick, and Manchester City escaped.

"Wow, it seems like even God is looking after Manchester City!"

"The Norwich players finally got a chance, but they ruined it with their own hands!"

After Joe Hart blocked the opponent's penalty kick, he roared and completely vented the dissatisfaction that had been squeezed in his heart for a long time.

Finally, things turned around and I finally got through it!

However, it turned out that his bad luck did not seem to be over.

In the 82nd minute of the second half, seeing that our offense could not penetrate Manchester City's defense, the opponent's forward Jerome tried to cover the ball in the penalty area.

As a result, this blind kick made an extremely elegant arc, leaving Joe Hart stunned and unable to make any reaction.

With a snap, the score became 2:1. Norwich broke through Manchester City's goal and successfully pulled a goal back.

Although the score was still behind, Norwich's morale was boosted after scoring a goal. Their players didn't even want to waste time celebrating. They rushed directly into the Manchester City goal, picked up the ball and ran away.

It is possible to equalize the score or even reverse the game in these last few minutes!
As a result, the last moment turned into a spectacle like Norwich besieging Manchester City's goal at Manchester City's home court!

Guardiola's expression became serious. The players seemed to be frightened by the opponent's last-minute goal. They became more conservative in their thinking and seemed to want to rely on defense to delay the last few minutes.

This made him very dissatisfied. Even if there were many newcomers on the field, the team should not be so conservative.

Offense is the best defense. If you just passively defend and get beaten, wouldn't that be giving the initiative to your opponent?

So, he immediately shouted to the players on the field and asked them to attack again.

Son Heung-min is still on the court at this time, and his speed is a weapon for Manchester City to counterattack. As long as the ball can be handed to his feet during the counterattack, with the cooperation of his teammates, it is not particularly difficult for Manchester City to score. Especially when the opponent presses hard and the defense is empty.

Things turned out just as Guardiola expected. In the 88th minute, Manchester City stole the ball in the backcourt and Cross made a long pass to find Son Heung-min.

Son Heung-min ran wildly with the ball, as fast as lightning, astonishingly fast.

The opponent's defender had no choice but to knock him to the ground and was directly ejected by the referee with a red card.

Seeing that our counterattack was effective and the opponent was sent off one man, Manchester City's morale immediately recovered.

They resumed their siege on their opponents. In the second minute of stoppage time, De Bruyne was tripped after dribbling the ball into the penalty area. The referee gave Manchester City a penalty kick.

But it seemed like a reciprocity, De Bruyne's penalty hit the crossbar and bounced off the baseline.

Lin Quan and Guardiola were stunned when they saw Ding Ding miss the penalty kick.

What's the matter?

Is De Bruyne actually sick too?
Was this infected by an opponent's player?

It is rare to see two penalty kicks in one game, so what was originally just an ordinary game received a lot of attention after the game.

However, the state of Manchester City in this game allowed many teams to see opportunities.

Even Norwich can almost overthrow Manchester City, why can't they?
