Chapter 425 Son Heung-min scored on his debut!

After the Manchester United game ended, the Red Devils fans were all concerned about the game next door to Manchester City.

Manchester City's opponent in the second round is the blue team Chelsea. This is a strong dialogue and the focus of this round of the Premier League.

If Manchester City cannot win at home, Manchester United will overtake Manchester City in the league standings for the first time in two years.

Although the league has just begun and the lead at this time does not represent the final result, it still has great symbolic significance for Red Devils fans.

This may be a symbol of their re-emergence beyond Manchester City!

However, to their disappointment, at the Etihad Stadium, the visiting Blues were beaten by the Manchester City soldiers.

Lin Quan and De Bruyne both scored in the first half, and Aguero scored another goal in the second half. In stoppage time, Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois made a mistake and knocked down Lin Quan, who dribbled the ball into the penalty area. The referee immediately showed a red card, sent him off and gave Manchester City a penalty kick.

Lin Quan did not take the penalty kick himself, but gave the opportunity to Kimmich, who played for the team for the first time.

"Boss, is this really good? How about you take the penalty?"

Kimmich was a little panicked. He didn't expect that the team boss would give him a penalty kick, which made him feel flattered.

I am just a nobody, how can I let the first person in the world give me a penalty kick? I can't do it, I absolutely can't do it!

"It's okay. It doesn't matter if we miss the kick. It's already 3:0 anyway!"

Lin Quan patted him on the shoulder. In this game, Kimmich came on as a substitute in the 83rd minute. After coming on, he did not perform impressively. Instead, he made a mistake because he was too nervous.

But in the team's training matches, Lin Quan has seen his strength, especially his ability to dribble the ball down and pass. If he performs well, he can definitely become a knife for Manchester City's wing.

As for Kimmich making mistakes due to nervousness, this is also human nature. After all, he encountered a strong team like Chelsea in his first game at Manchester City.

"Um!"

Seeing what Lin had said, Kimmich no longer refused.

After nodding heavily, he stood at the penalty spot.

He looked up at Chelsea's backup goalkeeper Jamal Blackman and found that his opponent was even more nervous than himself, and he was relieved.

Jamal had scolded Courtois ten thousand times in his heart!

Damn the Belgians, you got into trouble and you asked me to wipe your ass, I'm just a kid!

Jamal is a player from Chelsea's youth training. He is 21 years old and has never played for Chelsea before.

Chelsea's coach brought him on, mainly to let him feel the atmosphere of the game. Unexpectedly, Courtois made such a low-level mistake, forcing him to play.

Moreover, he faced a penalty kick as soon as he came out. For a goalkeeper, could there be a worse start than this?

I'm afraid he will become the goalkeeper who loses the ball the fastest in Chelsea's history, right?

Facing the anxious Jamal, Kimmich cleverly used a change of rhythm to shake the opponent while running, and then calmly scored the ball.

The scene immediately burst into warm applause and cheers. Although it was only a penalty kick, the fans still responded with enthusiasm and kindness to the young player.

He is a young talent introduced by Guardiola, although he has been on loan last year and has not played on behalf of the team.

But Blue Moon fans have no doubts about Guardiola's vision. After all, this man is known for being good at discovering and promoting young players.

After all, the young player Kante, who was also discovered by him, has now firmly established himself as Manchester City's main force.

The 4:0 score made the Blues fans feel sad. After being tied with Swansea at home in the last game, they suffered a disastrous defeat to defending champion Manchester City in this round.

Two consecutive games without a win also created Chelsea's worst start to the season in the past decade.

And to make matters worse, their main goalkeeper Courtois received a red card for uncool actions and will face a suspension.

The substitute goalkeeper Begovic also strained his thigh in the team's training match. Therefore, when both goalkeepers were unable to play, they had to use the third goalkeeper in the next game.

But judging from Jamal's performance in the last few minutes of today, this young player is obviously embarrassed for his big job.

Chelsea must buy a reliable goalkeeper as soon as possible to serve in emergencies, otherwise, they are likely to continue to lose the next game.

After Cech left, the Blues, who originally had no goalkeeper problems, seemed to have a serious goalkeeper crisis.

When a whale falls, everything comes alive. The Blues fell, which naturally gave them an advantage over the other giants. After all, there was one less competitor.

But who is happiest, it must be Mourinho who had a falling out with Abramovich.

When he was interviewed by reporters, he said domineeringly:

"The strong one is Mourinho!"

This means that the Blues' past brilliant record is inseparable from his wise leadership.

Although these words are crazy, there are not many people who refute him.

First of all, Mourinho is currently in the limelight and his results at Manchester United are very good. Attacking him at this time will not get much response.

Secondly, Chelsea's record was very different before Mourinho left and after he left.

Last year, Chelsea was still the league leader, competing with Manchester City for the title before falling at the last minute.

This year's Blues seem to have withdrawn from the title race from the beginning.

Moreover, the Blues' record took off after Mourinho took over as Chelsea's coach.

Especially Mu Yiqi, after his training, Chelsea was officially reborn and entered the ranks of the wealthy.

Therefore, Mourinho is indeed qualified to say this.

Everyone at Chelsea is naturally very dissatisfied with Mourinho's remarks. He takes all the credit on himself, and they are all a bunch of trash, right?

If that's the case, why didn't Chelsea win the Champions League trophy under Mourinho?

Just as Mourinho was quarreling with his old club Chelsea, Liverpool and Leicester City both got their second victory in a low-key manner.

After this round, there are four teams that have maintained a complete victory in the Premier League, namely Manchester City, Leicester City, Liverpool and Manchester United.

The loudest and most proud Mourinho, his team only ranked fourth.

…

After the second round of the Premier League, Manchester City rushed to Georgia in the Caucasus.

Here, they are about to play a Super Cup match against Europa League champion Sevilla.

The opponent is not weak. After all, if he can regularly win the Europa League, he must not be a rookie.

The course of the game also proved this.

When facing Sevilla, Manchester City took a 3-0 lead in the first half with goals from Lin Quan, Aguero and De Bruyne.

However, in the second half, Sevilla launched a vigorous counterattack.

Banega, Reyes and others scored consecutive goals, chasing the score to 3:2.

Manchester City's players were indeed a little relaxed during this period. After all, it was 3:0 in the first half, and everyone felt that they would win.

However, the opponent's counterattack told them that they should not be happy too early.

If the opponent continues to score goals like this, then this game may be another Istanbul miracle!

Fans who came to the Tbilisi International Stadium saw that the weaker side actually forced the more powerful Manchester City to such an extent. They all became Sevilla fans and cheered for them.

It is human nature to sympathize with the weak.

After all, who doesn’t want to see a David versus Goliath game?

If Sevilla can really make a comeback, then they will have witnessed a miracle with their own eyes!

Of course the fans at the scene would not want to miss such a good thing.

Off the field, Guardiola quickly made personnel adjustments. He replaced Son Heung-min, who had just come to the team to report, and replaced Kroos.

The fans at the scene, including the opponent's players and coaches, were very puzzled by Guardiola's substitution. They didn't know why he replaced Kroos!

As for the new player, fans immediately lost interest after seeing that he had an Asian face.

Who is this person?

do not know!

Since you don't know him, he must be a guy who's not very famous, right?

And with an Asian face, he doesn’t look like a very powerful character.

Because Asian teams lost so miserably in last year's World Cup, it greatly affected everyone's impression of Asian football.

In addition, although there are many Asian players playing in Europe these days, not many are very famous.

Although Lin Quan is also Asian, everyone tacitly excluded him because he was a player trained by Europeans and was different from other Asian players.

Seeing the fans at the scene reacting coldly to his appearance, Son Heung-min was still very disappointed.

"Behave well and try to slap them in the face with practical actions!"

"Uh, okay, thank you, thank you!"

Sun Xingmin hurriedly nodded his thanks. After thanking him, he realized that the person talking to him was actually the team's boss Lin Quan.

This made all the unhappiness in his heart disappear at once, and he was shocked.

Boss Lin actually took the initiative to say hello to me and even encouraged him!

He still remembers himself!

The two had played against each other in the Bundesliga. At that time, Lin Quan was still playing for Werder Bremen, while Son Heung-min was playing for Bremen's arch-rival Hamburg.

In a northern derby between Werder Bremen and Hamburg, the two had played against each other and exchanged jerseys.

Since then, Sun Xingmin has regarded Lin Quan as his idol and role model, and has been working hard to learn from Lin Quan and want to become as strong as him.

Of course, this is impossible. Without the top talent of Chaoju, it is naturally difficult to reach their height.

Still, learning from stronger players isn't a bad thing.

By learning and imitating Lin Quan, Sun Xingmin's breakthrough ability on the wing has been greatly improved.

Although speed is still his biggest killer, besides speed, he can also do a lot of work.

Sun Xingmin has always kept these things in his heart silently and has never mentioned them to anyone else.

I just often take out the green jersey that Lin Quan once wore, target Lin Quan, and silently motivate myself.

However, he didn't think Lin Quan would remember such a small role like himself.

After all, compared with Lin Quan, he felt that he was too ordinary and had nothing outstanding at all.

But I never expected that Lin Quan would actually remember him!

This made Son Heung-min full of motivation and his blood was about to boil.

He is very eager to show his strength in front of his idol and let them see his progress and growth over the years.

When he saw Guardiola replace Son Heung-min, Lin Quan realized Guardiola's tactical intentions.

Son Heung-min is very fast. When giving the ball to him during the counterattack, he can charge and use his speed advantage, like a sharp knife, piercing the opponent's heart.

In this case, what you have to do is simple.

Just pass the ball to his feet and help him create space to sprint with the ball.

This move quickly achieved miraculous results, taking advantage of the opponent's lack of understanding and lack of attention to Sun Xingmin. In the 73rd and 77th minutes of the second half, Manchester City launched two quick counterattacks.

In the first counterattack, Son Heung-min was knocked down by the opponent's full-back when he broke through from the wing. The second time he learned the lesson wisely. After kicking the ball out, he quickly overtook the car in a corner, surpassed the opponent with his speed and went to the meeting alone. Scored his first goal after joining Manchester City.

After Son Heung-min scored, the Tbilisi International Stadium was in an uproar.

The fans were shocked and speechless by Manchester City's delightful quick counterattack!

Who is this guy?

Why is it so fast?

And from the time he was substituted to the time he scored, only 8 minutes passed, right?

He scored a goal in his first appearance, and it seemed that he scored very easily. What kind of magic is this?

For a time, the fans at the scene were asking for information about Son Heung-min, and were full of interest and curiosity about this Asian player!

Son Heung-min's goal not only helped Manchester City widen the point difference again, but also made Sevilla's offense very uncomfortable.

The winger replaced by the opponent was too fast and couldn't be stopped.

If you want to prevent this kind of counterattack from the opponent, you cannot attack Manchester City through the midfield.

But if they don't attack Manchester City through the midfield, how can they equalize the score?

The most terrible thing is that if they don't attack, Manchester City will be rude and they will attack instead.

The three goals conceded in the first half have proved that Sevilla's defense cannot stop Manchester City's frontcourt attack group.

As a result, Sevilla fell into the embarrassing situation of neither attacking nor defending.

This embarrassing situation puts them in a dilemma, and they can no longer carry out the same offensive as before.

On the contrary, Manchester City, after regaining the initiative, the players never relaxed and took the pressing attack to the extreme. In the last ten minutes of the game, the football was almost always in Sevilla's half, let alone they initiated it. Attacked, he couldn't even touch the football, and he was beaten for dozens of minutes.

In injury time, Van Dijk took advantage of a corner kick and scored a goal, setting the score at 5:2.

Manchester City almost won the European Super Cup and successfully defended the championship of this competition.
