Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 452 The King of Manchester City!

The moment they saw Lin Quan score, the Etihad Stadium instantly boiled. Countless fans couldn't help but stand up and waved their arms excitedly. Some even directly paid homage to Lin Quan:
"Manchester-king!"

"Manchester-king!"

"Manchester-king!"

The sound grew louder and louder, finally resounding throughout the entire audience.

In the commentary box, while Martin Taylor and his partner were still in disbelief about the incredible goal just now, they suddenly heard the shouts of the audience.

"Haha, in the hearts of Manchester City people, Lin is undoubtedly the king of Manchester city - the king of Manchester city!"

Andy Gray on the side nodded and agreed: "Yes, this title is well-deserved for him. When the team was in a desperate situation, he scored 3 goals and sent an assist. It can be said that he single-handedly Led the team out of the abyss.

If there was no Lin Quan in the Manchester City team in this game, I have no doubt that a disastrous defeat would be waiting for them! "

If someone had just turned on the TV and heard the two commentators singing along, they would definitely think that they were praising a certain player.

But if you are a fan who has watched the entire game, you will definitely not be more in agreement with these two senior commentators!
Manchester City people are extremely happy, fortunately they have Lin!

On the court, the Manchester City players all rushed towards Lin Quan like crazy, lifted him high and threw him into the sky.

When Liverpool scored their fourth goal, they thought it was over.

As a result, they did not expect such a shocking reversal to be staged in the end. Even those who experienced the miracle of 9320 found it unbelievable.

Compared with the excited Manchester City players, the Liverpool players seemed a little confused.

They didn't seem to fully accept the result. Some people stood blankly looking at the scoreboard. A few minutes ago, the number on it was clearly 2:4. Why is it now 4:4?
Where did their two-goal lead go?
On the sidelines, Klopp was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked towards Guardiola.

The game is over, and the result will not change in any way. No matter how regretful or unwilling to admit it, you have to accept it.

"You have a great group of players, especially Lin!"

Klopp said sincerely when shaking hands with Guardiola.

He couldn't help but thinking, how great would it be if I had a player like this under my command?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret.

In his early years, when Lin Quan was loaned to the Bundesliga, he also played against Dortmund in the Telecom Cup.

If I had bought him over at that time, maybe there wouldn't be as many things happening now.

"I want to thank you for your praise on his behalf. Your team is very good, especially your job. This should be a victory for you!"

Guardiola's attitude is also very sincere. There is not much age difference between the two and their coaching level is very high. It is normal for them to appreciate each other.

"Hehe, indeed!"

Klopp smiled, if Manchester City did not have Lin Quan, then Liverpool would indeed win.

But who said Manchester City has Lin?

"Looking forward to the next meeting at Anfield!"

"Be sure to go all out!"

After chatting with Guardiola for a few words, Klopp walked to the dressing room.

He could see that many players in the team were feeling very disappointed, and that was right. Anyone would be disappointed if the cooked duck flew away, especially when the name of the duck was Manchester City, which made people even more concerned!
But Klopp thought differently from the players. This was just an ordinary league game, and it wouldn't be any different just because the opponent was Manchester City.

With Liverpool's current points, don't think about winning the championship this season. Be realistic and think about qualifying for the Champions League next season first!

There was a big spectacle at the press conference after the game. The head coaches of both teams were praising one player in various tricks, and that was Lin Quan.

Coutinho, who was brought to the press conference by Klopp, was completely ignored. Although he scored a goal and provided an assist in this game, his performance was remarkable.

But in front of Lin Quan, his light was completely obscured, which made Coutinho very unconvinced. As a former Inter Milan genius, although he had a period of trough.

But after moving to Liverpool in the past few seasons, his performance has gotten better and better, and he has also been greatly used under Klopp. This has allowed Coutinho to regain his confidence. He firmly believes that he Don’t lose to anyone and you will definitely become a top star in the future!

30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor!
However, what is embarrassing is that Coutinho is 4 years older than Lin Quan. Compared with him, Lin Quan is just a teenager...

In the 10 games of this round of Premier League, many wonderful goals were born, but Lin Quan's last goal undoubtedly beat the others and was elected as the best goal of this round of Premier League.

When the Premier League official wrote the review, he wrote: A goal as precious as gold is the spiritual flash of a peerless genius on the court!

UEFA officials also forwarded this comment from the Premier League and specifically added:
We should be lucky to live in an era when so many talented players are active and appreciate their performances up close!

This sentence attracted the approval and recognition of many people. Many fans chose to forward this comment and attached their own words.

"I declare that Emperor Lin is a god. Who agrees and who opposes?"

"If such a big disadvantage can be reversed, I don't even know what to say!"

"Guardiola's tactics feel like there's something good about them. They amplify Manchester City's offensive power on the wing!"

"Yes, but Klopp's approach on the opposite side also looks very good. But then again, they can force Manchester City to this point in the away game. Why is their record this season still so eye-catching?"

本轮比赛之前，利物浦12战4胜5平3负，积17分暂列英超第十。

In this round, they tied again. After scoring one point, their ranking in the standings dropped one place to 11th.

Although their situation is much better than Chelsea, which is ranked 15th, after seeing Liverpool's strength, fans are puzzled:
With Liverpool's ability to beat Manchester City, wouldn't it be like killing other Premier League teams indiscriminately?

How could it be reduced to such a point?
"Red Army fans come out and explain. Because Klopp has just joined the team, the team's initial tactical adjustment was not good. Starting from the fourth round, it suffered three rounds of winless games and even lost two games. Since then, it has fallen behind. It’s like winning one game, losing one, and drawing two games in between.” “Indeed, it takes time for a new coach to integrate into the team, and it also takes time for the players to adapt to his new tactics, but judging from the performance of the entire Liverpool team in this game Look, when it’s time to show results, it’s up to us to see if we can seize the opportunity to score points!”

"I think Liverpool's bench depth is obviously not enough, and Klopp's style of play has been proven when he was at Dortmund. It consumes a lot of players. It is not only not good for Liverpool to go fast on Christmas in the Premier League. A good time to grab points may even cause them to collapse. After all, they squeeze their players' physical fitness more than other teams and are more susceptible to the impact of intensive games!"

This fan's analysis was very calm and objective, and attracted the support of many people.

Liverpool has a large fan base. Although the record has not been good in recent years, there are still a large number of followers.

Now seeing that the arrival of Klopp, the new coach, has brought such big changes to the team, these fans are very excited and look forward to seeing Liverpool rise as soon as possible and return to the top!
Compared with Liverpool, another team that has declined but has returned to its peak is very worried about the game against Manchester City in four days.

"Manchester City is in surprisingly good shape. Even if the next game is at our home court, we won't be able to play well!"

Juventus coach Allegri is worried. The team currently has only 5 points. Although they are temporarily ranked No. 2 in the standings, if they lose to Manchester City, they will likely fall to No. 3.

When the time comes to play a life-and-death battle with Sevilla away from home, the situation will be very unfavorable for them.

Therefore, Juventus must get at least one point in this game. In this case, even if Sevilla wins, the two teams will have the same points.

As long as there is a tie in the final round, they can qualify with their goal difference.

Thinking of this, Allegri decided to study more of Manchester City's recent game videos to see if he could find some weaknesses in his opponents.

Like Allegri, many teams in football are paying attention to Manchester City and trying to find the weaknesses of Manchester City.

The just-concluded match between Liverpool and Manchester City has naturally become the focus of research by major teams.

Although Liverpool was absolutely tied by Manchester City in the end, they were the side with the advantage for most of the game, and at most they even had a 3-goal lead.

If it were any other team, most of them would have won, but it was a pity that they met Manchester City.

But being able to gain such a big lead over Manchester City is enough to show that Klopp's tactics are effective against Manchester City.

Klopp's tactics are actually very simple, one word - run!

Klopp obviously still plays offensive football, but his offensive tactics are based on the active running of the players.

High-position pressing, pressing defense, on-the-spot counterattacks, etc. are all based on players actively running, running out of the local area's numerical advantage, and then seizing the advantage to launch an attack. Once successful, they can take the lead.

This style of play is not difficult, and some wealthy clubs can give it a try.

On November 11, the fifth round of the Champions League group stage begins.

Since Manchester City has already qualified two rounds ahead of schedule and secured first place in the group, Guardiola arranged a large number of substitutes for this game.

Seeing Manchester City's starting lineup, Allegri and the Juventus players breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the opponent gave in. If Manchester City sent their strongest lineup to play, they might not be able to win.

But if the opponent is just a group of substitutes, then it's not too much for them to score three points, right?
However, after the game started, Manchester City's substitutes were very active on the court, with the aura of a newborn calf not afraid of the tiger.

Guardiola did not give up completely just because he was not sending the main players. After the game started, he stood on the sidelines and reminded the players loudly.

Under Guardiola's personal supervision, these Manchester City substitutes had an offensive climax in the first 15 minutes of the game.

Not only did the ball possession rate reach 65%, but he also completed 3 shots. The closest to scoring was the one when Son Heung-min received a pass from Fernandinho and shot in the penalty area.

It's a pity that Buffon became more and more demonic as he got older. He had already seen through Son Heung-min's intention before he shot. He stood in the best defensive position in advance and picked off the ball he shot.

The turning point of the game occurred in the 18th minute of the first half. Juventus took advantage of the multi-person press in the frontcourt and successfully intercepted the ball. Mandzukic and Morata completed the cooperation. Finally, Mandzukic broke into the penalty area and scored in one fell swoop, rewriting the score to 1:0.
Mandzukic's goal suddenly changed Juventus' situation. Even if Sevilla defeated Borussia Monchengladbach in another game, Juventus still has a 2-point advantage. As long as they don't lose in the next game If you hit the ball, you can advance.

After scoring, Mandzukic seemed very excited. He took off his clothes and ran to the sidelines to celebrate. When passing Guardiola, he even roared at him, seemingly venting his dissatisfaction.

In fact, he wanted to do this in the last game at Manchester City's home court. Unfortunately, Juventus lost in the end, and he did not score a goal, so he could only hold his anger in his heart until now.

This time he finally got a chance!
Guardiola touched his nose. He probably knew why Mandzukic did this.

Without him, the opponent might not leave Bayern, and he really wouldn't be able to use a center like him.

In the early years, Ibrahimovic was strong enough, but Guardiola just couldn't use it well, so he could only take the risk of offending the other party and eliminate Ibrahimovic. For this reason, the relationship with Ibrahimovic became very tense.

And Mandzukic is far inferior to Ibrahimovic in terms of strength and fame, so it is normal for him to purge him.

Although he only sent out substitutes, this does not mean that Guardiola is willing to accept a defeat.

So, while the other party was celebrating, he waved to Son Heung-min and explained to him.

After the game restarted, Manchester City's style of play changed obviously.

They ran very aggressively in the frontcourt, constantly pressing and even surrounding Juventus players with the ball.

On the sidelines, Juventus head coach Allegri was stunned for a moment after seeing Manchester City's style of play:
Isn't this Klopp's tactic against Manchester City before?

Guardiola actually stole his lesson?

Thinking of this, his heart thumped, and he suddenly felt something bad.

Klopp's team relied on this tactic to almost push Manchester City to a dead end when the players' personal strength and talent were not as good as their opponents.

So now, will this group of Manchester City substitutes use this tactic to pose a threat to Juventus?
