Chapter 175 Iron-blooded temperament!

"Did I read that correctly? Emperor Lin ate the opponent's hindquarters?"

"Haha, I also saw it. Fulham's 1.8-meter left back rushed over aggressively, trying to knock down Lin Huang, but he was humiliated by Lin instead!"

"666! I didn't expect Lin Huang to be so strong in physical confrontation!"

"For popular science, although Lin Huang is only 173cm tall, his weight reaches 73kg.

Fulham's left back Richardson, who is opposite, is 1.8cm tall but only weighs 70kg. The opponent thought Lin Huang was a soft persimmon, but unexpectedly he kicked him on the iron plate! "

"Damn it, is Emperor Lin so strong? You can't tell at all!"

"This is called not judging by appearance!"

…

"Lin, great job!"

When David Silva saw Lin Quan defeating his opponent in a head-to-head duel and scoring a goal, he ran over excitedly and high-fived Lin Quan in celebration:

"These guys in the Premier League are tough and not soft. The weaker you are, the more they will catch you and bully you. If you show a tough performance and teach them a lesson, they will not dare to be so presumptuous!"

This is David Silva's experience, and it has great reference value for Lin Quan's next journey to the Premier League.

"Well, thank you, David!"

After hearing this, Lin Quan was thoughtful and looked back at Richardson, who had just been pulled up by his teammates.

Did David mean to encourage me to continue teaching this guy a lesson?

"What's going on? Why did you lose to that kid?"

Tarabut pulled up his teammates who fell on the ground and asked doubtfully.

"It's okay, my foot slipped just now. I'll let him know how good I am next time!"

Richardson didn't want to admit that he had lost to the opponent in the physical confrontation, so he deliberately found an excuse for himself to try to regain his respect.

"Well, that's good, I'll deal with him with you next time!"

Talabutt patted Richardson on the shoulder and returned to his defensive position.

Just at this time, Lin Quan looked over to Richardson. The latter felt Lin Quan's malicious gaze, and his whole body suddenly became cold, and he had an unpleasant feeling.

The game continued, and under Lin Quan's organization, Manchester City's offense became smoother and smoother.

The Fulham guys' foot skills are indeed much worse than those of Manchester City's players. Without fouling, it would be almost impossible for them to steal the ball from the feet of Manchester City players.

But this is the Premier League, it's impossible not to foul!

Fulham's players, like many middle and lower-tier clubs in the Premier League, are very good at using their physical advantages.

As a result, there were scenes of them knocking down Manchester City ball-carrying players one after another on the field.

In other leagues, most of these actions are judged as foul actions by the referee.

But in the Premier League, their referee's penalty standards are very loose. He didn't call most of the fouls, and there was even a faint intention to encourage the players to engage in physical confrontation.

The referee's loose penalty standards inspired Fulham's players, and they became more unscrupulous one by one.

Under the opponent's constant physical collisions and fouls, Manchester City's frontcourt offense became somewhat stumbling.

Among them, Lin Quan was the one who was violated the most.

As the offensive core of Manchester City's frontcourt, he holds the ball the longest.

But thanks to his excellent dribbling skills, it is much more difficult for the opponent to steal the ball from his feet than from other Manchester City players.

Therefore, once Fulham players fail to intercept, they will foul him and deny him the opportunity to complete the breakthrough and pass.

In less than thirty minutes in the first half, Lin Quan was knocked down by his opponent at least ten times.

Among them, Fulham's left back Richardson committed the most fouls.

After learning from the previous failure, he realized that the opponent's physical resistance was no weaker than his own.

If you just use reasonable collision methods to fight against him, not only will you not be able to guard against him, but you will also be defeated.

Therefore, he began to use foul tactics to deal with Lin Quan.

Anyway, the whistle in the Premier League is relatively loose, and the referee may not blow it for some fouls.

Even if you blow, it doesn't matter. As long as you don't take cards, it doesn't matter.

After knocking Lin Quan down again, the referee just called a foul and gave him a verbal warning without any pain. Richardson didn't take it seriously, but said to Lin Quan triumphantly:

"Boy, welcome to the Premier League, this is how we treat guests in the Premier League!"

The Fulham fans in the stands were all happy when they saw the opponent's frontcourt core being knocked down by their own players.

This is the picture they want to see!

Just, once, twice, three times, four times...

Every time when a Fulham player knocked Lin Quan down, he got up immediately without any intention of rolling on the ground or lying on the grass to waste time.

After standing up, Lin Quan quickly participated in the attack, just like a normal person.

This made Fulham fans gradually stop laughing.

Although this is the opponent's player, as opponents, they have to admit that Manchester City's No. 10 is very suitable for them.

"How come this kid can't be kicked down?"

"That's outrageous. Is he made of iron? He's so damn hard!!"

"I thought that this guy was so good at his feet that he would be like those sissy technical players who would only protest to the referee when kicked down and roll around on the court, but I didn't expect that this guy wouldn't even complain. !

"This style of play is very similar to that of Keane or even Cantona, but not as unruly as Cantona!"

On the other side, it was seen that Lin Quan was not intimidated by the opponent's foul tactics.

On the contrary, after gradually adapting to the rhythm of the Premier League, he played better and better on the court.

Wenger felt his eyes light up. The problems he had worried about before seemed to no longer have to worry about. There was no problem that Lin Quan could not adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League.

When he thought of this, the professor's eyes dimmed again.

What a good player, it's a pity that he can't come to my Arsenal, it's a pity!

…

The Fulham players who wanted to watch the joke seemed to be impressed by Lin Quan's tough style of play.

When Lin Quan was fouled by a Fulham player again and fell to the ground and quickly got up, not only did they stop laughing at Lin Quan loudly, some Fulham players couldn't help but applaud him.

If you only have excellent foot skills, the fans in the Premier League may not be convinced by you.

But while you have excellent skills with your feet and your playing style is so tough, it will attract fans.

However, the Fulham fans soon stopped laughing!

When Lin Quan was constantly fouled by the opponent, he was also observing the referee's penalty scale.

After confirming that the Premier League referee's penalty standards were very loose, he began to turn the tables!

In the 38th minute of the game, Fulham tried to counterattack after stealing the ball.

Richardson was about to rush forward with the ball for an assist, but unexpectedly, he slid over with one foot and kicked him to the ground.

Richardson hugged his leg and rolled on the ground, yelling in pain.

The Fulham fans at the scene were in an uproar. After seeing clearly who had committed the foul, they yelled angrily!

"Red card!"

"Give that kid a red card!"

“Spanish bad boys are so mean!”

The fouler was none other than Lin Quan, who had been repeatedly fouled by Richardson before.

The referee was nearby and he saw the ball clearly. Lin Quan's foot touched the ball first and then brought Richardson down. This was a good ball.

If it were in other leagues, at most one foul would be given, but here is the Premier League. His previous penalty scale was so loose. If a foul is called now, the scale before and after is not consistent, and it will be considered a black whistle against Manchester City.

Therefore, in the face of protests from the fans at the scene, the referee expressionlessly signaled that the game should continue.

After making this gesture, he glanced at Lin Quan. After the tackle, the kid acted as if nothing had happened. He didn't even look at Richardson who fell to the ground and rushed towards the ball.

This fierceness is really a bit like Manchester United's captain Keane.

But aren’t you a Manchester City player?

How can we inherit Manchester United’s iron-blooded gene?

After seeing the referee's penalty, the fans at the scene were unhappy.

They booed unceremoniously to the referees who were officiating the game.

And it was not only the referee who was booed, but also Lin Quan who completed the tackle.

When Lin Quan was fouled by one of their players before, they cheered loudly.

Now when Lin Quan returned an eye for an eye and retaliated in the same way, they couldn't accept it. They all wanted to rush to the field, take out the red card from the referee's pocket and send Lin Quan off!

The double standards of Fulham fans were clearly demonstrated at this moment.

Because the game continues and the ball is still in Manchester City's hands.

The players on Fulham's side were unable to control Richardson who fell to the ground.

The latter howled on the ground for a long time, and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he had to get up from the ground and limp back into the game.

Lin Quan's kick just now was not light. When Richardson fell to the ground, he wondered if his leg had been broken by this kid.

However, he was kicked in the face of the bone, which was a hard injury. The bone was not broken, but the pain was obvious.

Feeling the stinging pain in his legs, Richardson subconsciously kept a distance from Lin Quan.

At this time, he didn't dare to take the initiative to trouble Lin Quan. Lin Quan's tackle just now had already left a psychological shadow on him.

Richardson finally understood that this kid was the kind of person who would retaliate against others. He would be cruel to himself and even more cruel to others, so don’t provoke him easily!

If we can’t afford to offend him, can we still afford to hide?

It turns out that he really can't hide!

Just because he didn't go looking for trouble with Lin Quan didn't mean that Lin Quan wouldn't come looking for him.

In the 44th minute, the ball came to Lin Quan's feet again, and he once again attacked Fulham's penalty area from the right.

As a full-back, Richardson had no choice but to rush forward.

Fortunately, this time the ball is at the opponent's feet, so the opponent shouldn't be able to foul him again, right?

It turns out that he thought simply.

Lin Quan saw that he was hesitant and wanted to but didn't dare to, so he passed the ball and accelerated directly to overtake him.

Richardson quickly blocked his position and at the same time grabbed Lin Quan's jersey with his hands to prevent him from rushing over.

This was what Lin Quan was waiting for. He took the initiative to move towards the opponent and used Brother Kun's famous stunt, Iron Mountain Leap, knocking Richardson back several steps and sitting on the ground with a plop.

Lin Quan took advantage of the situation and entered the penalty area. After passing Stekelenberg, he pushed the shot into the empty goal and rewritten the score to 2:0.

After scoring, Lin Quan did not celebrate with his teammates, but walked up to Richardson:

"Thank you for the welcome, I hope you enjoy my hospitality!"

The players of both teams and the fans at the scene were stunned to see this scene on the field. Are you right? A newcomer who has just joined the Premier League taught a veteran football ruffian who has been in the Premier League for many years?

…

After taking a 2:0 lead, Manchester City replaced a large number of substitutes in the second half. Pellegrini began to perform various permutations and combinations of the team's defense to test which combination suited him best.

Manchester City's defense has undergone a major change, and it stands to reason that this should be Fulham's opportunity.

However, Fulham's offensive methods are too simple. It is difficult for them to cooperate on the ground. They can only keep high balls and crosses.

After Manchester City's defenders adapted to this single offensive method, it was difficult to pose a threat to them.

In the 79th minute of the second half, Lin Quan assisted Aguero and scored another goal, rewriting the score to 3:0.

In the end, with the goals of Lin Quan and Aguero, Manchester City defeated Fulham with a score of 3:0 and got a good start in the warm-up match of the new season.

Five days later, Manchester City returned to their home court to face the challenge of Premier League giants Arsenal.

Arsenal's strength is much stronger than Fulham's.

Their players are extremely good at passing and cutting on the ground, which is completely different from the last game where Fulham only played high balls.

Facing Arsenal's dazzling ground passing and cutting cooperation, Manchester City's defense was completely unable to adapt to the opponent's offensive rhythm.

Before the first half was over, Arsenal scored two goals in Manchester City's goal.

The goals were scored by young tigers Walcott and Ramsey respectively. Walcott performed well with one pass and one shot.

Little Tiger Walcott was signed by Wenger when he was 17 years old. He is a young player that Wenger is very optimistic about.

And his performance also lived up to Wenger's expectations.

Last season, Little Tiger scored 21 goals in all competitions, averaging 0.5 goals per game, and was Arsenal's top scorer.

This season, in order to retain the little tiger, at Wenger's request, Arsenal gave the latter a large contract with a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds, which is almost 6 million euros a year when converted into an annual salary.

For a young player who is only 23 years old, this annual salary is already very high.

However, in the opposite Manchester City team, there is a guy whose weekly salary is four times his.

Seeing Walcott making trouble in Manchester City's backcourt, Lin Quan naturally couldn't watch the show from the sidelines.

He also contributed a pass and a shot in the first half, scoring a goal himself and assisting Silva to score a goal.

The two teams also ended the first half with a score of 2:2.

Both teams were very dissatisfied with this score.

Pellegrini was dissatisfied that the team's defense was too easily penetrated by the opponent's passing tactics, while Wenger was dissatisfied with his midfielder's inability to control the situation on the field and his defender's inability to guard Lin Quan. .

As a result, both teams made adjustments during the halftime break.

Arsenal replaced Ozil, who has a soft style of play and is afraid of confrontation, and replaced him with Spanish international Cazorla.

This substitution had a very good effect. After Cazorla came on the court, he quickly provided an assist to his teammates and helped Giroud score in the penalty area.

Arsenal overtook the score and temporarily led Manchester City by one goal with a score of 3:2.

However, Cazorla is not the kind of player with a very tough body and strong physical confrontation.

After he came on the field, although his cooperation with his teammates became more tacit, it still did not solve Arsenal's waist weakness problem.

After Lin Quan retreated, Manchester City suppressed Arsenal in the midfield.

The ball gradually fell into Manchester City's control, but after Lin Quan retreated, the frontcourt offense lacked connection, and the offensive power suddenly dropped a lot.

At this time, Manchester City fans intuitively felt Lin Quan's role on the court for the team.

Although Lin Quan has only joined the team not long ago, he is already an indispensable part of Manchester City!

"This kid can help the team sort out the offense in the frontcourt, and can help the team control the midfield after dropping back. As a winger, he can break through and score goals, and can also send high-quality crosses down to help his teammates. Scored the goal and was like a monster!"

On the Arsenal coaching bench, assistant coach Patrice was amazed by Lin Quan's performance on the court.

Although Lin Quan plays as a free agent and his position is not fixed, it is too free!

Players running around like this make it difficult for Arsenal to defend.

"Yes, Lin is a genius-level player!"

Wenger rated Lin Quan higher than his assistant. After all, this was the white moonlight he had missed!

In the 72nd minute of the game, Lin Quan received the ball in the midfielder position. Before the opponent rushed up to press him, he observed the opponent's defensive position.

Aguero saw Lin Quan holding the ball and immediately moved forward, trying to get out of the space.

After eating several of Lin Quan's cakes, Aguero was convinced of Lin Quan's passing ability.

Although the distance between the two was a little farther at this time, he had no doubt that as long as he ran out of space, Lin Quan would be able to deliver the ball to his feet.

The Argentinians made the right bet!

After seeing Aguero's movement, Lin Quan decisively kicked off and sent a long pass of more than 40 meters.

This ball seemed to have eyes, and it accurately found Aguero while he was running.

When Aguero caught the ball, he suddenly found that there was nothing in front of him.

Lin Quan's pass coupled with his movement actually penetrated Arsenal's defense!
