Chapter 280 A fatal blow at the Stadium of Light, Manchester City 10 Atletico Madrid!

Pellegrini took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to call Zabaleta over and gave him some instructions.

Zabaleta nodded repeatedly, and then Simeone discovered that Manchester City's offensive routine began to change.

After their two midfielders grab the ball, if there is no particularly good opportunity to play the ball, they will not choose to pass the ball directly to the frontcourt players, but will hand the ball to the two full-backs and let them handle the ball. .

This choice gave Manchester City a better offensive opportunity. It was difficult for Atletico Madrid players to press the two full-backs immediately, giving them more space to handle the ball.

After getting the ball, whether Manchester City's full-back dribbles the ball up to assist, or plays a one-two with the midfielder to beat Atletico Madrid's pressing players, and then passes it to the frontcourt, it is safer than passing the ball directly from the midfielder.

Affected by this, after Pellegrini made such adjustments, Manchester City's offensive threat began to increase.

In the 52nd minute, Fernandinho intercepted the ball and passed it to Zabaleta. Zabaleta ran a few steps with the ball and passed the ball to Fernandini before the opponent's players pressed him. profound.

Fernandinho passed to Lin Quan. Lin Quan attracted the opponent's press and passed the ball to Aguero.

The football made a Z-shape on Manchester City's right wing and finally came to the feet of the striker.

These passes were very fast. Even though Atletico Madrid players had increased their speed to the extreme, they still couldn't keep up with the speed of football passes.

At this time, after Aguero received the ball, Atletico Madrid defender Godin was the only one left beside him.

On his right, Lin Quan was flying towards Atletico Madrid's penalty area after completing the pass, and David Silva on the left was doing the same thing.

Atletico Madrid's defenders are also retreating quickly, and the two sides are engaged in a life-and-death race!

"Danger, Manchester City's attack from the wing was very fast, and Atletico Madrid's defense suffered a huge threat!"

In the commentary box, the commentators from various countries subconsciously raised their tone.

Manchester City's attack looked unremarkable when it first started, but once it hit the frontcourt, it immediately showed a strong threat.

There was a three-on-three situation in the frontcourt. Due to the high-position press, most of Atletico Madrid's players were unable to rush back to defend in the first place.

Although Manchester City does not have a numerical advantage, the personal strength of these three players is very outstanding.

When the number of people is smaller, the power of tactics is lower, and the importance of personal strength becomes more and more prominent.

Therefore, seeing Manchester City's attack, Simeone's heart was beating wildly and he had a bad feeling!

Atletico Madrid defender Godin bumped into Aguero very covertly while defending, trying to squeeze him away and steal the ball from his feet.

He is the last defensive player, so he does not dare to use too obvious fouls to disrupt Manchester City's attack. If he does, he will at least receive a yellow card, and may even receive a red card and be expelled.

Aguero stumbled and passed the ball to Lin Quan before losing control of the ball.

As soon as Lin Quan received the ball, he felt someone rushing over from behind him.

Without looking back, he could guess that this must be Atletico Madrid full-back Philippe.

Lin Quan did not give the opponent a chance to collide with him. He quickly cut inside with the ball and headed towards Atletico Madrid's penalty area.

Philippe had to follow him and moved toward the center. Godin saw Aguero pass the ball and immediately gave up on him, handed him to another defender Miranda, and rushed towards Lin Quan, intending to double-team with Philippe. he.

In a three-on-three situation, although the defensive side is very passive, it is not completely helpless.

After all, there is only one football. As long as it can interfere with the ball holder and force him to make a choice, the defensive side will be free to have multiple people double-team the target of his pass.

Especially in this situation with the ball in the middle, once he passes the ball, the wide players who receive the ball have many fewer options.

Either shoot directly, or pass it to the center. Of course, it can also be passed from one wing to another, but this kind of pass takes longer and the defender has enough time to get in position.

Moreover, Atletico Madrid's players are retreating across the board. If the three players in Manchester City's frontcourt cannot complete the attack quickly, the threat of their fast attack will decrease by one point for every second of delay.

In a few seconds, it will evolve into a positional battle. With Atletico Madrid's defensive capabilities, if it really reaches the stage of a positional battle, then they have nothing to worry about.

Therefore, after forcing Aguero to pass the ball, the situation developed in Atletico Madrid's favor.

As long as Godin and Philippe can stop Lin Quan, even if they can't steal the ball from his feet immediately, as long as they can delay him a little and buy time for their teammates, they can basically resolve this round of Manchester City's counterattack.

The pressure is on Lin. If he is stopped, Manchester City's offense will fail. Atletico Madrid, who are wary, will not give them such an opportunity again.

The game may fall into the same stalemate situation as before!

But if he can complete the breakthrough and succeed in this attack, the situation of the game is likely to completely change.

At this moment, almost everyone's eyes at the Stadium of Light were turned to Lin Quan.

Everyone is waiting for him to make a choice!

In the stands near the stadium, Guardiola's family stared at Lin Quan's every move with their eyes wide open.

Although he was not playing on the field, Guardiola still had a feeling of empathy.

When he thought of the huge difficulties and pressure that Lin Quan would face, he couldn't help but sweat for Lin Quan.

In the box, Mendes, Ronaldo and Mourinho also stopped talking and looked at the court.

Mendes had a glimmer of expectation in his eyes. He had heard of Lin Quan's name a long time ago, and he was full of curiosity and desire for this young man who had suddenly appeared in football in recent years.

It's a pity that I failed to recruit him last year, otherwise, I would have two of the three most successful players in today's football!

Seeing Lin Quan running on the field, Ronaldo remembered the match between Spain and France in the hotel lobby during the World Cup qualifiers the year before last.

That was the first time he noticed Lin Quan.

In just two years, this guy has grown from a little-known unknown to such a high level.

Ronaldo himself felt tremendous pressure!

If he can lead the team to win this game, he may have a chance to win this year's Golden Globe Award, right?

Mourinho didn't have so many thoughts. He was simply observing Lin Quan's every move with appreciation.

Last year, in order to introduce Lin Quan, Mourinho collected many of his videotapes and conducted a lot of research on his playing style.

Therefore, among the three people present, Mourinho may be the one who understands Lin Quan best.

However, after a year of baptism in the Premier League and Champions League, he feels that Lin Quan's playing style has changed a lot.

During his time at Werder Bremen, he was a pure attacker, full of offensive power on the court and very fond of passing people and shooting from the wing.

But after arriving at Manchester City, thanks to Manchester City's strong offensive firepower, Lin Quan appeared on the wing less often, and the number of such dribbles and shots also decreased a lot.

He spent most of his time in the shadow striker and midfielder positions, taking on a lot of organizational work.

And now, he appears on the wing again, seemingly back to his early days. This makes Mourinho very sure that Lin Quan will definitely choose to pass these two defensive players this time!

Sure enough, seeing Godin approaching, Lin Quan quickly judged the other party's intentions.

Want to double-team me?

It’s a good idea, but it comes too slowly!

As he moved with the ball, he quickly assessed the distance between himself and the two defenders. Philippe was about one meter away from him, and Godin was two meters in front of him.

This space is very small for the average player, and it may be a chance to touch the ball.

But for Lin Quan, this space is already ample.

He moved the ball sideways to the left, as if moving towards the center.

Godin and Philippe both subconsciously made adjustments, but after seeing the opponent's movements, Lin Quan handed the ball to the left again and made a breakthrough from the left.

Godin hurriedly turned around and reached out to pull Lin Quan, not giving him a chance to get past him.

However, Lin Quan's move was still a fake move, and Godin was obviously deceived!

Seeing that his teammates had been deceived, Philip secretly said something bad. He didn't dare to wait any longer, and immediately pushed Lin Quan hard from behind, hoping to use a tactical foul to stop the attack before he entered the penalty area.

Although he is likely to receive a yellow card for this action, compared with conceding the ball, a yellow card is already a very good result.

However, Lin Quan seemed to have anticipated Phillip's actions.

When he pushed someone, Lin Quan had already passed the ball.

The moment he completed the pass, Lin Quan felt a huge push from his back.

He was not pushed down, but used the push to stagger forward and ran out.

All this happened in a flash. Aguero had just passed the ball, and in less than two seconds, the ball came back again.

But after Aguero received the ball, Miranda, another Atletico defender, had already rushed forward.

He still didn't have any space to shoot, but Aguero and Lin Quan had already formed a tacit understanding.

After receiving the ball, he did not choose to shoot. Instead, he sent a through ball and completed a collision with Lin Quan.

After staggering for a few steps, Lin Quan finally regained his balance. As soon as he entered the penalty area, he received Aguero's pass. The time was neither too fast nor too slow, just right!

Courtois finally determined who would be responsible for the final kick, so he no longer hesitated and immediately rushed out from the goal, opened his arms, and pounced on Lin Quan.

There is no doubt that this was a one-shot.

Therefore, Courtois cannot rely on any teammates, he must rely on his own strength to prevent the opponent's shot.

But, can I do it myself?

He studied Lin Quan's single-handed success rate before the game, and the conclusion he came to made him feel desperate!

Lin Quan's single-sword success rate is over 90%, and he doesn't necessarily make a mistake out of ten times!

Therefore, once it falls into a passive 1V1 session, it actually proves that Atletico Madrid's defense has failed!

Although Courtois struggled to fight, he actually didn't have much confidence.

However, the Atletico Madrid fans present, including the members of the Atletico Madrid coaching staff on the sidelines, all placed their hopes on him at this moment.

They hope that Courtois can perform a miracle and help the team guard the goal again as he did in the past to resolve this crisis!

However, the excitement failed to come!

Lin Quan saw Courtois attacking and passed the ball with ease, passing him easily.

Courtois hurriedly stretched his legs to intercept, but was a step too slow. He could only watch in despair as the football slid past him.

After passing Courtois, Lin Quan glanced at the football.

After confirming that the ball would definitely roll into the Atletico Madrid goal, he did not waste time to make a follow-up shot. Instead, he opened his arms and ran along the bottom line of the court!

boom!

The sound of the Stadium of Light exploded like a depth bomb, and the entire stadium fell into madness.

Countless Manchester City fans cried with joy and hugged each other excitedly!

We are ahead!

Finally kicked the ball into the damn goal!

On the sidelines, the coaching staff of Manchester City rushed out frantically after seeing Solo attending the meeting and helping the team open the scoring.

The crowd on the sidelines ran excitedly, hugged, and waved their fists in celebration.

Pellegrini slipped when he ran out and almost fell, but the old man didn't care at all. He excitedly rushed towards his colleagues and assistants, hugging them in celebration.

In the stands close to the stadium, Guardiola was heartbroken when he saw Lin Quan being fouled by the opponent's defender and staggering almost falling.

Like many fans, he thought Lin Quanhui lost his balance and fell in the penalty area, thus missing this opportunity.

However, Lin Quan did not fall, but stood up tenaciously, passed the opponent's goalkeeper at the last moment, and sent the ball into the goal!

These things are easy to say, but very difficult to do!

The opponent's defender must have used a lot of force to push him just now. It was already very difficult for Lin Quanneng to maintain his balance.

The opponent's goalkeeper saw the right moment and struck out in time, leaving Lin Quan very little time to react and adjust.

In such a short period of time, even if the average player can catch the ball, there is no time to adjust. Either he shoots hastily and the ball is destroyed by the opponent's goalkeeper, or he simply doesn't even have a chance to shoot and is saved by the goalkeeper who attacks in advance.

But none of this happened!

Lin Quan completed the two tasks of adjusting his balance and completing the shot in an instant.

Moreover, the last moment was so relaxing and freehand.

Courtois must not have expected that the opponent would complete the shot in such an extraordinary way!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Guardiola's face, and the unhappiness of being blocked by Atletico Madrid in the previous two games also dissipated a lot.

Hey, I can't break down the door, but my son can!

This can be considered as revenge for me!

In the box, after seeing the goal, the three Mendes couldn't help but secretly thought in their hearts that the game was well played.

Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to handle the ball better than him. In fact, he might even be unable to score the goal.

Mourinho took the lead in applauding. This boy did not disappoint him and even did better than he imagined!

This game may be difficult for Atletico Madrid!

Mendes also clapped and looked at Lin Quan with even more enthusiasm.

Lin Quan is only 18 years old, and Ronaldo is already 29. If he can recruit Lin Quan, he will have the top player in football in the next ten years!
