Chapter 475 Asian Football King
When the players of Dynamo Kyiv saw it began to snow above the stadium, their morale, which had already begun to decline, immediately surged again as if they had been given a shot of blood.
"God is really helping me. It's snowing at this time, which is really good for us!"
"That's right, the British guys have definitely never played in snow battles and are not used to this kind of weather. Once the snow on the ground increases and the field becomes slippery, and even their ground passing is affected, it will be equivalent to It will greatly weaken Manchester City’s strength. At that time, our chance to win will come!”
Guardiola couldn't help but frowned when he saw snow falling in the sky.
Although the current snow is still relatively light, it cannot have much impact.
However, the morale of both teams has been significantly affected. The difference is that the opponent's morale has skyrocketed, while our own's morale has suffered a heavy blow.
The Manchester City players on the field seemed to know that it would be detrimental to them to continue to delay. Once there is more snow on the ground, their offense will become very difficult.
And this impatience means that they have no time to observe the overall situation when attacking, and often make hasty decisions, and these decisions may not be the most reasonable choices at the time.
"Calm down, control the rhythm, don't be anxious, we still have time!"
Guardiola shouted to the players from the sidelines to try to remind them.
Lin Quan also felt on the court that his teammates had been very impatient in recent attacks. He clearly had a better option. He could pass the ball to the weak side with just a little observation. However, his teammates seemed to turn a blind eye to this and either shot directly. , or pass the ball to a place where the opponent's defensive players are gathered.
This resulted in Manchester City's several attacks being in vain and failing to break the deadlock in the game.
There is not much time left in the first half. If the goal cannot be scored as soon as possible and it is delayed until the second half, when there is more snow on the field, things may really change.
Thinking of this, Lin Quan himself felt a little anxious!
Calm down, you must be calm at this time, the more anxious you are, the harder it will be to score.
Thinking of this, he calmly observed the position of the opponent's defensive players. When defending, the opponent did not stand still like a wooden stake, but would constantly move according to the position of the player holding the ball, trying to maintain three lines as much as possible. Line integrity.
The stronger the team, the tighter the formation is maintained when their players are moving, and the more difficult it is to break through their defense.
However, as long as they move, there will always be loopholes and gaps to exploit. After all, no matter how tacitly understood the eleven people are, they cannot be of the same mind.
Some people start slowly, some people start quickly, some people start fast, and some people start slowly.
It will be hidden in such a small gap. As long as you seize the slightest opportunity, it is possible to achieve a breakthrough.
After all, the stadium is so big, it is almost impossible for only eleven people to control half of the stadium!
There is indeed a gap between Dynamo Kyiv's hard power and Manchester City's. When Manchester City launched an attack before, they could not keep up with the rhythm and had to use foul tactics to delay Manchester City's attack.
But after more than thirty minutes of adaptation, they have now gradually adapted to Manchester City's offensive rhythm. Especially after they just took advantage of the restless Manchester City players and successfully completed several defenses, their confidence and morale have increased. .
Morale is a very subtle thing. A party with high morale, even if its strength on paper is a little bit worse, can still compete with opponents who are stronger than them, and even win.
There are countless matches in football in which the weak defeat the strong. The most famous one is the Miracle in Istanbul in 2004.
At that time, AC Milan had advantages in almost all aspects. Seven or eight of the 11 starting players were historical players, and their strength was far ahead of Liverpool's.
The 3:0 score in the first half was a true reflection of the strength of both sides!
But so what?
After Liverpool showed momentum in the second half, the morale of the whole team was so high that they overturned the stronger AC Milan to the ground and even nailed it to the pillar of shame in history!
Therefore, the popular saying in football - football is round is really not just talk!
After Lin Quan calmed down, he saw that De Bruyne had just received a pass from Kroos, so he reached out for the ball.
De Bruyne had a tacit understanding with him. After seeing his movements, he immediately passed the ball over and moved forward firmly, ready to hit the wall with him to cooperate.
Even if Lin Quan doesn't pass the ball back to him, he can attract the attention of the opponent's players and help Lin Quan share some of the pressure.
Lin Quan gave De Bruyne a thumbs up in his heart, but he did not pass the ball back to De Bruyne because after De Bruyne penetrated forward, he attracted the attention of three opposing players. These three players were conscious. They moved closer to him, one side preparing to intercept Lin Quan, and the other side planning to double-team De Bruyne after Lin Quan passed the ball.
Naturally, Lin Quan would not pass a ball to De Bruyne in this situation. Instead, he used his broad vision to move the ball to the other wing in a wide range.
The ball moved quite beautifully. Because Lin Quan was holding the ball to attack, the opponent's formation subconsciously pressed towards the right side. The other side was now very open.
As long as Son Heung-min can catch the ball, he can drive straight in without any scruples!
Son Heung-min did not have such a tacit understanding with Lin Quan. He did not think that Lin Quan would pass the ball to him, but he still followed the tactics arranged by the coach and pressed forward with the overall formation when the team moved forward.
And it was this choice that gave him this excellent opportunity.
Because the opponent's formation tilted to the right, the opponent's full-back position was closer to the center, and Son Heung-min was not closely guarded. After all, the ball holder was too far away from him.
Even if Manchester City wants to move the ball over, he will have enough time to rush over and defend the ball while it is flying.
However, defensive players seemed to underestimate Son Heung-min's speed.
After seeing Lin Quan pass the ball, Son Heung-min immediately accelerated and ran towards the landing point of the football.
Lin Quan's foot transfer did not go directly to Son Heung-min, but gave him a certain amount of advance and passed it to the open space in front of him.
In this case, Son Heung-min does not have to accelerate after receiving the ball. In that case, he is likely to be entangled by the defensive player and will have no chance to start.
If you pass the ball in front of him and let him speed up before catching the ball, it will be difficult for the opponent to stop him.
"Beautifully passed on!"
Guardiola couldn't help but admire Lin Quan's beautiful long pass after seeing it.
This vision, this footwork, and this estimated advance amount are simply amazing!
How does this guy's brain grow?
He is so good at breaking through people, his shooting skills are also top-notch, and he is also so good at organization and passing. Is there anything else this guy can't do?
On the other side, Son Heung-min received Lin Quan's pass very comfortably without slowing down, which made him couldn't help but praise Lin Quan in his heart.
As expected of Brother Lin, I will give you 82 points for this passing ability, and the remaining 18 points will be given to you in the form of 666!
"Xiba yo, if those guys in the national team can pass the ball so accurately, how can I fail in the national team?"
Son Heung-min has not been very happy with the Korean national team recently. He has not scored a goal in many consecutive games.
However, national team teammates Koo Ja-cheol and others are having a prosperous life, which makes Korean fans begin to question Son Heung-min's strength, and the voices that tout him as the number one player in Asia are also beginning to be questioned.
When he thought of this, Sun Xingmin became indignant:
What level of teammates do I have in the club?
The world's best?
What level of teammates are you in the national team?
A small number are at the continental level, and the rest are at the international level!
This configuration is too different, right?
The reason why you can conquer the city in the club is because you have a group of good teammates around you who can provide you with the maximum support behind you.
In the national team, he was young and had a lower seniority. Not only was he bullied and ostracized, but the team's tactical system was not suitable for him. In addition, his teammates could not keep up with his rhythm, and he could never think of anything he could do. Going together, this caused his performance to drop significantly.
Therefore, taking this opportunity, Sun Xingmin decided to show his true strength to the people in China!
"Wuli Son Heung-min received a pass from Lin Quan. Is he going to step up and take over the game?"
In the South Korean commentary box, the Korean commentators who were broadcasting the game saw this scene, swept away their previous fatigue and decadence, became energetic, and their voices immediately became louder.
When the game started, it was already 4:30 in the morning on the Korean side. After playing for half an hour, it was already past 5:00 on the Korean side.
If it wasn't winter and the sky didn't get bright so soon, maybe we could see the rising sun.
However, what does five in the morning mean to Koreans who, as one of the three kings of East Asia, never sleep?
It wouldn't be a problem if he stayed up for another seventeen or eight hours!
As long as they can see the players they support scoring goals, it will be worth staying up late this night!
Son Heung-min has already increased his speed to the extreme at this time, and the large space on the left side of the opponent gives him ample space to accelerate.
After his speed increased, his confidence doubled. When the opponent's defensive player tried to intercept him, he actually passed the ball and ate the opponent cleanly.
This suddenly shocked the fans at the scene and in front of the TV!
This Manchester City substitute actually has such strong extraordinary ability?
Guardiola on the sidelines was also a little surprised. He knew Son Heung-min's abilities very well. He is fast, has good shooting skills, and is an excellent scorer.
However, his breakthrough and passing abilities are not outstanding among wingers, so he is not suitable for positional battles. He is more suitable for counterattacks that allow him to fully utilize his speed advantage.
At this time, Son Heung-min showed an ability that he had never shown before. This surprised Guardiola and at the same time, he also thought of something:
Could it be that the training Lin Quan gave them before was effective?
Last summer, Guardiola tried to develop Kanter's offensive ability and asked Lin Quan to teach them breakthrough and passing skills.
However, Kanter's offensive ability development failed later, and he didn't pay much attention to this matter. Unexpectedly, he accidentally strengthened Son Heung-min's strength.
This is an unexpected surprise!
The players of Dynamo Kyiv were also very surprised. They did not expect that the opponent actually passed their own defender, which caused them to lose the opportunity to send someone to intercept Sun Xingmin.
Because he has already dribbled the ball into the penalty area!
At this time, there are two choices before Sun Xingmin:
Shoot directly in front of the attacking goalkeeper, or pass the ball to a teammate who is following up to assist your teammate in scoring.
However, his speed is too fast, his teammates are a certain distance away from him, and there are many players on the right side of the opponent. Sun Xingmin is not sure that he can pass the ball to the right side.
Therefore, Sun Xingmin chose to complete this attack himself!
He calmly adjusted his steps, observed the goalkeeper's movements, and then chose to shoot into the far corner.
This shot was extremely effective. In order to avoid the opponent's goalkeeper, he almost shot towards the post.
The opponent's goalkeeper saw Son Heung-min's shot and immediately blocked it, but failed to touch the ball.
The goalkeeper who didn't touch the ball subconsciously looked back at the ball rolling past him, and couldn't help but think:
I should have blocked the shooting angles, right?
Since he didn't even touch the ball, the ball would probably slide past.
However, what disappointed him was that Son Heung-min was not Nunes after all, and he did not have a squint.
The ball hit the post extremely hard and rolled into the goal!
The scene was completely silent, leaving only the sound of the wind and the flying snowflakes?
Dynamo Kyiv fans were stunned: Our team is actually lagging behind?
Whoosh!
A biting cold wind blew, and the shirtless drummer who had been playing the drums hard before seemed to feel the slightest chill and couldn't help shivering in the cold wind!
"so cold!"
…
On the field, after Son Heung-min saw his shot goal, he excitedly rushed to the corner kick area, took off his jersey, and revealed a few words on the vest: Dedicated to my dear father!
These words are written in Korean, so except for Koreans, the fans and players at the scene can hardly understand them.
But thousands of miles away, the Korean spectators who were watching the game were full of praise after seeing the words on Son Heung-min's vest!
"This kid is really good!"
"Too filial!"
“It’s amazing for Sun Zhengxiong’s family to be able to give birth to such an outstanding child!”
As a result, Son Heung-min's parents in the UK received countless congratulatory text messages and even phone calls from relatives and friends!
The reason why Son Heung-min wants to thank his father is because his father has a great influence on his career.
It can be said that without his father's company and full support, he would not be where he is today.
This time, his father originally planned to come to the away game with his son, but Sun Xingmin felt that the weather in Ukraine was too cold, so he did not let him come. I don’t know if they watched the game or saw his wonderful performance. Performance?
