Chapter 483 Guardiola: My son is really awesome!

Manchester City quickly equalized the score, causing the situation on the field to change again.

Not to mention that Manchester United's advantage was gone, their morale also suffered a big blow.

As for Manchester City, after they discovered that Manchester United's defense was not as strong as imagined, they became more confident in attacking.

As a result, in the second half of the first half, the situation on the field began to gradually become one-sided, completely turning into Manchester City playing around Manchester United's goal.

Lin Quan has always paid attention to courtesy and reciprocity. If Sun Xingmin feeds him cakes, he will naturally reciprocate the favor.

In the 39th minute of the first half, Lin Quan received De Bruyne's through ball and successfully countered offside. Even though he had a chance to score a single goal, he selflessly passed the ball to Son Heung-min.

Son Heung-min did not waste the gift from Lin Quan, and easily pushed the shot into the empty goal, rewriting the score to 2:1.

Seeing Son Heung-min score, Guardiola was completely relieved.

The biggest fear of defensive counterattack tactics is falling behind in the score. Once they are behind, their iron barrel formation will no longer be able to stand up. It is meaningless to continue to set up the iron barrel formation. They must attack.

In order to strengthen defense, Mourinho selected a large number of players with outstanding defensive abilities in player selection. These players can play a very limited role when attacking. If they want to equalize the score, Manchester United needs to make substitutions and adjust their talents. OK.

But in this case, their defensive capabilities will inevitably be weakened.

Once Manchester United's defensive capabilities are weakened, it will be easier for Manchester City to score goals.

Manchester City doesn't mind playing against Manchester United, but the question is, does the other side dare?

Mourinho is called a madman by the outside world. This title is not entirely obtained when talking to reporters and other team's head coaches. It is also related to his tactics.

Seeing that the team's situation is unfavorable, continuing to defend blindly is doomed to defeat.

Mourinho then went all out and changed the formation decisively. Before the first half was over, he began to make substitution adjustments. He replaced two offensive players at once, vowing to strengthen the offense!

Seeing the other party's courage, Guardiola couldn't help but admire him.

With the two main central defenders absent, everyone can see that there are problems with Manchester City's defense.

However, if you think that you can take advantage in the offensive battle, you are underestimating Manchester City's offensive power.

Therefore, after Mourinho made adjustments, Guardiola did not give up. He waved his hand to signal the team to speed up the attack!

Come on, who is afraid of who!

Under the instructions of the head coach, the two teams began to fight vigorously.

The game instantly became more exciting, which made the audience who came to watch the game become even more excited.

The pace of the game became very fast. Maybe it was Manchester United's shot with the front foot, but in the blink of an eye, it was hit by Manchester City's shot in front of Manchester United's own goal.

In this fast-paced game, players on both sides will inevitably make mistakes while advancing with the ball.

And this kind of mistake is also an excellent opportunity for the other team to seize the opportunity to counterattack.

Both Guardiola and Mourinho are very good at this. Therefore, the two teams competed for the midfield, especially the opponent's organizer's interception and pressing.

For Manchester United, Pogba and Mata are the key targets of Manchester City.

On Manchester City's side, Kroos and De Bruyne were targeted in all directions.

However, there are still big differences between the two teams.

In addition to De Bruyne and Kroos, Manchester City's striker Lin Quan can also drop back to serve as an organizer.

But Manchester United can't find such a person, so although both teams are attacking, it is obvious that Manchester City's offensive threat is greater and of higher quality.

Mourinho is not unaware of Lin Quan's organizational ability, but while the team is strictly guarding against De Bruyne and Kroos, it cannot allocate more manpower to restrict Lin Quan.

After all, it is much more difficult to restrain Lin Quan than the first two.

This guy's personal abilities are too strong, and his dribbling, breakthrough, and passing abilities are so strong that it's hard to fault him.

The key is that his golf IQ is still very high, and his overall situation and vision are also very broad. When he is double-teamed, he can choose to rely on his outstanding personal ability to go it alone, or he can pass the ball out at the right time.

There are only so many people on the court, and multiple people stepping forward to double-team one player means there will definitely be openings elsewhere.

If he seizes the opportunity to pass the ball, it will be very fatal.

Therefore, it's not that Mourinho doesn't want to deal with Lin Quan, he just can't deal with him.

When he was at Inter Milan, he could arrange for Zanetti to restrict Messi, but at Manchester United, he couldn't find such a suitable candidate. If he could find one, he would have used it long ago!

Failure to limit Lin Quan means that Manchester United will suffer a big loss in the confrontation.

Although they held on to the first half without conceding a third goal, shortly after the start of the second half, Lin Quan assisted Jesus and scored another goal, rewriting the score to 3:1.

At the Etihad Stadium, when Manchester City took a two-goal lead, it was basically a death sentence for Manchester United.

Although Guardiola frantically used up the third substitution, he also substituted Lingard to continue to strengthen the offense.

But it was still in vain. On the contrary, it was Manchester City. Sane, who came off the bench, scored another goal in the 85th minute of the game, setting the score at 4:1!

Manchester City won another Manchester City derby, their seventh consecutive victory over Manchester United.

This made the Red Devils fans howl incessantly. If this continues, Manchester United may have a psychological shadow on Manchester City!

Mourinho was in a bad mood after losing a big away game. He left the game early after the game without waiting for Guardiola to come over and shake hands with him.

He has had a lot of troubles recently. After losing this game, you can predict how much trouble he will face in the following press conferences.

But this can't be blamed on others. Who told him to quarrel with reporters and make enemies everywhere?

After the game, Mourinho's helpless expression on the sidelines, as well as photos of him being besieged by media reporters after the game and struggling to cope, aroused heated discussions among countless fans.

"Oh, Mourinho feels different, not like before!"

Some fans sighed when they saw that Mourinho had gray hair on his temples and was far less energetic than he was at Inter Milan and Real Madrid.

What kind of glory was Mourinho back then?

He led Porto, who was not optimistic about anyone, to counterattack and win the championship. After going to England, he led the Blues to challenge the Red Devils' dynasty and won two Premier League championship trophies in a Premier League full of strong players.

Although he was dismissed due to a bad relationship with Abramovich, after he went to Apennines, he returned with a group of veteran players from Inter Milan and completed the incredible feat of the Triple Crown.

And with two Champions League trophies in hand, he, like Guardiola, has become the top coach in football.

How high-spirited was Mourinho when he was warmly invited by Real Madrid to come to the Bernabeu and take over Real Madrid's galactic battleship?

However, all the turning points must be counted from the moment he picked up the Real Madrid pointer.

The defeat at Real Madrid was the straw that broke the camel's back, and from then on, Mourinho's magic suddenly disappeared.

In Chelsea's second period, his coaching results were lackluster, with losses in the cup, league and Champions League.

After joining Manchester United, he shined for a while at the beginning of the season, and then continued to sink and sink again.

At this time, Manchester United has already fallen out of the championship group in the standings, and even the Champions League seat for next season is not stable. It needs to compete with Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool.

If Manchester United ends up with nothing in the top four, and they don't even get a spot in the Champions League, I wonder if Mourinho will be fired again and coach another team?

Frequently changing teams is not a good thing for players and coaches.

It takes time to perfectly integrate one's tactical concepts into the team, but in the increasingly impetuous world of football, many teams often do not give coaches so much time. Once the record cannot meet their requirements, they will quickly Take action and tell the head coach, the person who is most likely to take the blame, to get out.

And being fired frequently will lead to worse and worse coaching performance, falling into a vicious cycle, and eventually losing the job or even the person can't be found.

Seeing Mourinho's anxious look, people naturally think of another person who was once as famous as him - Guardiola.

Compared with Mourinho, Guardiola's career after leaving Barcelona was not very smooth. His one and a half year coaching experience at Bayern was definitely not a success.

But Guardiola has already come out of the predicament. Now, under his leadership, Manchester City's performance is booming. Not only has he started the second spring of his career, he may also break through the peak of the Dream Three Dynasty and create a more glorious dynasty. .

Comparing the two sides, people can't help but feel sorry for Mourinho.

"It's a pity that Mourinho is not as lucky as Guardiola. If his son could be as good as Lin Quan, the result may be completely different!"

…

Regarding the outside world saying that he succeeded by fighting for children, Guardiola not only did not refute, but responded with a smile:

"I'm lucky to meet geniuses like Messi and Lin in a row!"

Guardiola is a person who reaches his peak right after his debut. When he first debuted as a coach, he met a genius like Messi and led a group of geniuses from La Masia to create the third dynasty of Dreams.

Guardiola is very strong, but without Messi, his coaching career at Barcelona would not have been so successful.

According to Guardiola, it was Messi who brought him to a height that did not belong to him and made him think that success was very simple.

It was not until later that a series of failures after leaving Barcelona and Messi made him gradually understand that such success turned out to be just accidental.

Without Messi, many of his tactics and concepts cannot be perfectly executed. Others simply cannot meet his requirements. Only true geniuses can complete the tasks assigned by him.

But Guardiola's luck is so good, and Lin Quan's sudden emergence means that he will soon no longer have to consider these worries.

Although the current Manchester City has not yet reached the most perfect form envisioned by Guardiola, as long as Lin Quan is there, that is enough.

All he has to do is build the team bit by bit around Lin Quan, the cornerstone of the team!

Therefore, when the outside world says that he is lucky because of his son, he is not only not angry, but also proud of it.

Who told my son to be awesome?

If you have the ability, go ahead and give birth to such a powerful son!

…

Apart from Manchester United fans, the most disappointed people when Manchester United lost to Manchester City were Leicester City fans.

I originally had high hopes for Manchester United, but how could I have known that Manchester United could not help but break into pieces at the first touch?

Now, there are only 7 rounds left in the league, and they are still 9 points behind. The hope of winning the championship is already very slim!

However, things that make Leicester City feel desperate are yet to come!

In the 32nd round of the league, Manchester City visited Bournemouth.

In the first half, Lin Quan scored two goals within fifteen minutes to establish the victory. De Bruyne scored directly from a free kick. Before the final whistle sounded, Demichelis scored with a header in front of the goal. Manchester City was 4:0 clean. Defeated the opponent neatly and won three consecutive victories.

Although Leicester City tried their best and defeated Southampton 1:0 at home again, the point difference between them and Manchester City has not been narrowed.

There are only the last 6 rounds of the league left, and Leicester City, which is still 9 points behind, has only a theoretical hope of winning the championship.

Fortunately, the quarter-finals of the Champions League are about to begin. Manchester City, affected by the Champions League, is likely to lose points in the league due to poor multi-line combat status.

This is Leicester City's last chance. If they miss this opportunity, they will have no choice but to sit back and watch Manchester City defend their title.

…

On April 4, Manchester City set off immediately after finishing the league, heading to Paris to prepare for the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain three days later.

Manchester City was lucky. When the lot was drawn, they were given a schedule with guest first and then home.

This schedule is beneficial to them. They don't even need to win on the road. As long as they can score away goals and don't lose by a large margin, they have great hopes of advancing when they return to home.

Of course, if they can defeat their opponents on the road, they will naturally have less pressure in the next round.

However, Guardiola warned in advance that the players were not arrogant.

Although Paris Saint-Germain is a French Ligue 1 team, its own strength is not weak. This game is the opponent's home court. The game will definitely be difficult to play. They must prepare for the worst.

As a two-time Champions League winner, Manchester City is currently very famous in Europe and even the world. In addition, there are a large number of stars in the team, especially superstars like Lin Quan.

As a result, they met many fans who came to pick them up at the airport. Many of these fans were Chinese. Some of them were students studying in France, and some were tourists here. After learning that Manchester City was coming to play in the Champions League, I made a special trip to pick him up from the airport.

The purpose of these people was very clear, they were here for Lin Quan, which could be seen from the various banners and slogans they held to welcome Lin Quan.

When seeing these people, Lin Quan was surprised and moved.

So I took the initiative to take photos with these people, signed autographs for them, and gave them a few jerseys.

Lin Quan's enthusiasm also exceeded the expectations of these fans. They didn't expect that the opponent, who was so big and powerful, could be so approachable. They were all excited. After getting the autographs and gifts, they couldn't help but show off in the group and online.

This made other people who got the news but didn't come due to various reasons almost feel regretful!

If I had known that Emperor Lin was going to send gifts and autographs, I would have come anyway. If I missed this opportunity, I might not have such a good opportunity next time!
