Chapter 478 Winning the first championship in 2016
On the sidelines, Liverpool's head coach stood up from the coaching bench with a groan, staring at Lin Quan who was running wildly with the ball!
He felt a huge threat. The opponent was very fast, and Liverpool's players failed to stop him from speeding up in the first place. This made the restriction tactics developed by Klopp for Lin Quan completely ineffective.
Damn it, why does he still have such abundant physical energy at this time?
Klopp was full of doubts. The game had been played for more than 80 minutes, and the other Manchester City players had exhausted their physical energy. At this time, they could barely even run on the court.
And he didn't see any of these on Lin Shenquan.
This guy's physical energy seems to be inexhaustible, it can never be used up, and he always maintains sufficient energy and fighting spirit.
This guy is really scary!
"Stop him!"
Liverpool's players were all aware of the danger at this time, and they all rushed towards Lin Quan. No matter what method they used, they must stop him and never let him score the ball.
If another goal is conceded at this time, Liverpool will really be unable to save the day!
Liverpool's players have already thought about it. If they can stop him, they will stop him. If they can't, they will foul him. Anyway, they have used foul tactics to deal with him before.
However, the situation this time is very different from before.
The reason why they were successful before was mainly because Lin Quan had just caught the ball at that time and had not had time to start.
But this time, Lin Quan's speed has been fully increased, and he is still accelerating, running faster and faster. This means that if Liverpool wants to stop him, they can only use someone faster than him, or someone in front of him. Just fine.
It's not that Liverpool doesn't have fast horses on the wing, but it's been more than eighty minutes now, and no matter how fast the horse is, it can't run anymore.
Therefore, they couldn't catch up with Lin Quan at all and could only follow Lin Quan and eat ashes.
If you want to stop Lin Quan, you can only leave it to Liverpool's defenders who are delaying the defense.
When Lin Quan dribbled the ball across the center line, there were only two people left in front of him, namely Liverpool's two central defenders Kolo Toure and Lucas.
Kolo Toure is the elder brother of Yaya Toure, and he also played for Manchester City for 4 years. The two teamed up in Manchester City, which was a good story in football at that time.
Unlike Yaya Toure who came from a professional background, Kolo Toure came from a wild football background.
Being able to stand out from the field must be something special.
Kolo has a lot of experience. Although he has never been a teammate with Lin Quan, he has long heard his brother mention Lin Quan's name.
What's more, as a defender, studying the playing style of the best forward in the world is simply a required course for them.
Therefore, he knew very clearly that Lin Quan could not be stopped by one person.
Not even two people!
Therefore, he decisively stopped Lucas' blind attack, asked him to keep a suitable distance from him, and retreated together to compress Lin Quan's dribbling space, block Lin Quan's breakthrough route, and force him to slow down!
Although Van Dyke did not go to Liverpool, the defensive strategy adopted by Kolo is exactly what Van Dyke often uses.
The difference is that Van Dyke uses it alone, while the other party uses it together.
When the two of them use it together, the power is naturally greatly enhanced. When an ordinary forward encounters this situation, he is probably at a loss. Either he can't hold back and kicks, and directly chooses to shoot.
Or rush forward with the ball recklessly, and then be double-teamed by two people, losing the ball.
However, to achieve such an effect, there must be a prerequisite, that is, the two people must cooperate seamlessly.
If there is even the slightest mistake, it will be a huge loophole in front of a player of Lin Quan's level.
It's a pity that these two people have such loopholes!
Lin Quan did not panic when he suddenly encountered his opponent adopting this defensive strategy.
He has already observed two opponents while dribbling the ball. Lucas is 28 years old this year, in his prime, and at his peak in all aspects.
But Kolo is different. He is 35 years old this year and has long lost his courage.
When he lost his main position in Manchester City, it was because he was older, his condition declined, and he did not meet the team's requirements, so he was purged.
Now two and a half years have passed since then, and his condition has further declined. Although he has gained more experience, no matter how rich his experience is, it is useless without enough condition to support him!
Lin Quan glanced at it and quickly locked onto the target of the breakthrough.
He suddenly shook his body while dribbling the ball at high speed, pretending to break through from the left. Lucas' body subconsciously paused and moved to the left.
Just when Lucas's focus changed, Lin Quan made a false shot and broke through from Colo's side while avoiding the truth.
At this time, Lucas's right foot had already stepped out. After seeing Lin Quan's movement, he was startled and quickly put his foot back to prepare to support his teammates.
However, he made the same mistake as Boateng, that is, he failed to notice the change in his body's center of gravity.
He wanted to go to the right for support, but his body weight was shifting to the left. In the fight between the left and right, Lucas became another Boateng and fell to the lawn with a plop.
This scene caused an uproar among the fans at the scene. Without any physical contact, the opponent's defensive player fell down by himself. What does this mean?
Ke Luo was shocked when he saw Lin Quan trying to break through from him, and immediately prepared to block his position to prevent the opponent from easily breaking through.
As long as he slows down the opponent's speed a little and waits until Lucas comes to support, everything will be fine.
However, just as he was thinking about this, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lucas wrestling on the ground and tripping himself to the ground.
Kolo cursed his teammates in his heart, and could only grit his teeth and do it himself!
He had already made plans to stop Manchester City's attack even if he received a yellow card or even a red card.
However, the 35-year-old Kolo Toure is not as flexible as he was ten years ago.
He was thinking very well in his mind, but his body movements could not keep up with his mind.
Lin Quan seemed to have seen through his intention. After seeing Lucas fall and the space on the left appeared, Lin Quan changed direction again, and suddenly shook Ke Luo away, forming a single sword!
Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet had to choose to attack, but he didn't want to be passed by Lin Quan himself.
Lin Quan really went through Liverpool this time, literally!
After Lin Quan passed the last man in Liverpool, he easily scored, then spread his arms and ran wildly along the baseline like a glider.
When he ran to the camera in the corner kick area, he roared angrily, pointed at the camera, pointing to the captain's armband on his arm, and then pointed to the jersey number on his back!
That seems to be saying, if you want to beat Manchester City, ask me first!
All the teammates rushed over at this time, and even the farthest goalkeeper ran across the entire stadium.
The teammates threw Lin Quan heavily to the ground and piled arhats on him.
Although Guardiola has repeatedly ordered players not to use such dangerous celebrations, it can easily cause accidental injuries to the players being pressed underneath.
However, the players were so excited that they had long forgotten Guardiola's instructions.
Although it was just a small League Cup final, they felt like they were playing in the Champions League final.
This game is a huge test and even suffering for most Manchester City players.
After a series of hard battles and insufficient physical reserves, they once again encountered a team that used a mad dog style of play. After this game, most people felt that they were going to lose their strength.
If it weren't for Lin Quan's last-minute goal, which completely killed the suspense of the game, they felt like they really couldn't hold on.
Although there is not much time left in the game, despite Liverpool's madness in the last moments, as long as they score a goal, the outcome of this game will be completely different.
It's a pity that Lin Quan's goal killed this possibility, there is no if!
This is also true. Lin Quan's scoring method of running 70 or 80 meters with the ball from his own backcourt and passing all the opponent's players caused a devastating blow to Liverpool's morale.
In fact, after playing for more than 80 minutes, their physical fitness also declined seriously. The reason why they were able to lay siege to Manchester City was all because they could hold on with one breath.
Now that this tone has completely vented, it is naturally difficult for Liverpool to organize an attack like the one just now.
There is still hope of catching up if they are one goal behind, but they are two goals behind and there are only a few minutes left in the game. Unless a miracle happens, what can they do to catch up?
A few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
Finally, after a hard-fought battle, Manchester City defeated Liverpool 2-0 at Wembley Stadium and won their first championship of the season.
After the game, Lin Quan's wonderful long-distance goal aroused heated discussion and onlookers on the Internet.
Countless fans spontaneously forwarded it to help spread it, and with the terrifying speed of the Internet, it became popular all over the world in just one day.
"As expected of Lin Huang, he is the only one who has the strength to score this goal!"
"Indeed, running a long distance of 70 to 80 meters, passing five levels and killing six generals, and even defeated the goalkeeper, this extraordinary ability is really awesome, I won't accept it!"
"Messi might be able to do it at his peak, but he probably can't do it now. His explosive power is too far behind!"
"And don't forget, when Lin Huang scored this goal, the game time had passed more than 80 minutes. At this time point, he can still have such abundant physical fitness and let him sprint at full speed. This is simply inhumane. ah!"
"Lin Huang is not tall and not strong. He looks ordinary, but I never thought it was his personality. I have watched so many of his games, but I have never seen him cramp on the field or be substituted due to lack of physical fitness. It’s over!”
"Haha, the brother upstairs probably paid attention to Lin Huang after Lin Huang joined Manchester City. In the early years, when Lin Huang was at Werder Bremen, there were times when his physical fitness was insufficient. There were not many cramps. But there must be, and he will still be injured at that time.”
"Indeed, Huang Huang at that time was far less perverted than he is now. Although he was very strong, he was still within the scope of human beings, but now..."
"Tsk, tsk, if you don't mention it, I have forgotten that the last time Emperor Lin was injured, it seems to be the last time!"
"Listen to what you have to say!"
"It's like listening to a word!"
"The current Lin Huang is so comprehensive, he can do anything, he can't run to death, he can't kick, he is a strong dribbler, he breaks through hard, and he passes the ball accurately. He is like an all-round warrior with no blind spots at 360 degrees!"
"Ahem, I've passed it. Lin Huang is not without his weaknesses. At least his height limits his header. It seems that Lin Huang has never scored a header this season?"
…
Is Lin Quan really invincible?
It doesn’t seem to be quite the case!
No, when he was playing poker at his teammates' house, Lin Quan was tortured and doubtful about his life.
"If I don't fight, I keep losing, and I have no gaming experience!"
After playing for an hour and a half, Lin Quan's pockets were already empty, having lost all to David Silva, Kroos and others.
De Bruyne, like Lin Quan, is a novice in the field of poker, and he also lost everything. At this time, his face was even uglier than Lin Quan's.
"Haha, okay, the barbecue is ready, let's go eat first!"
David Silva has almost recovered from his injury and can now conduct restorative training.
He was not with the team during this period and did not know much about the situation in the team. He heard that some new players had arrived and their performance was very good.
This made him couldn't help but worry about his main position, so he invited a few teammates over to get together.
"Thanks to you for your hard work during this period, I finally got through this intensive schedule!"
Manchester City's schedule over the past week can be called a devil's schedule, but after playing the League Cup final, they can take a breather.
Without the involvement of the League Cup, the remaining games this season are mainly concentrated in the three competitions of the League, Champions League and FA Cup.
They have a big lead in the league, so there is not much pressure, so the pressure is mainly on the Champions League and FA Cup.
These two events are interspersed with the league, and superimposed with the national team competition, which will greatly increase the pressure on every player in the next few months.
There are many international players in the Manchester City team. Fortunately, some European countries are relatively close, so the consumption during the journey is not too great.
But players from other continents, such as South America, are not so lucky.
On every national team match day, these South American football players who were recruited had to fly tens of thousands of kilometers to rush back to participate in the game.
The consumption during this journey may be greater than the consumption they spent participating in the competition.
Aguero's previous injury occurred after he finished playing for the national team.
This makes the Manchester City club very dissatisfied, not so much with the players, but with the Argentine national team.
In such unimportant games, there is actually no need to recall the players all the way back.
This will only increase their risk of injury and cause huge losses to the club!
After all, each of these players was bought at a high price.
However, the national team obviously doesn't care too much about the club's opinion.
Even players like Messi have gone back obediently, so you, Manchester City, are special?
I can recruit whoever I want, do you guys care?
