Chapter 488 Lin Quan VS Ronaldo, a goal battle between two super giants!

At the same time as the match between Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid's match against Wolfsburg also started at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Real Madrid, who returned to their home court, put up a 433 formation, as if they wanted to carry out the attack to the end.

Already cornered, they have no choice but to attack!

Wolfsburg, who held a two-goal lead, seemed to be a little contemptuous of Real Madrid because of their last victory, and actually arranged a 4231 formation at the Bernabeu.

Although this formation can attack and defend, it may be a good choice in normal times.

But in an away game, and knowing clearly that the opponent will attack desperately, choosing this formation is a bit too much!

Like Manchester City, Real Madrid immediately launched a fierce attack on Wolfsburg after the start of the first half.

It was completely different from the state in the last away game. In this game, the state of the Real Madrid team, which was forced to a dead end, was completely stimulated.

In the 15th minute of the first half, Kalhava made a pass from the right, and Ronaldo, who was outflanking the goal, pushed and scored, and the score became 1:0!

Only one minute passed. In the 16th minute, Real Madrid took a corner kick. Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly moved forward from the penalty spot, grabbed the landing spot at the front point, rubbed his head lightly, and the ball bounced on the ground and passed over. The goalkeeper's fingers flicked into the net again.

The score became 2:0!

It only took Real Madrid 16 minutes to completely recover from the disadvantage in the previous game.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored two goals in a minute, ran to the sidelines and roared domineeringly. The entire Bernabeu was in jubilation, and countless fans cheered and applauded Cristiano Ronaldo.

Although there were rumors of Cristiano Ronaldo leaving the team last summer, when it came to the field, Real Madrid fans found that he was more trustworthy.

The current offense of Real Madrid is really inseparable from Ronaldo. Compared with his super high scoring efficiency, the billionaire Bell is much lower.

Real Madrid, who quickly tied the score, were full of momentum and continued to launch waves of fierce attacks towards Wolfsburg.

Wolfsburg, who was almost stunned, fell completely under the opponent's offensive and had no ability to fight back.

They have paid the price for their support. Even if they win once at home, it does not mean that they can really be on an equal footing with Real Madrid!

If they could position themselves before the game, recognize the gap between the two sides, and pragmatically choose a more conservative defensive formation, this game might not have this result!

…

"Real Madrid is ahead, by two goals?"

On the other side, in the Etihad Stadium, the Barcelona scouts who came to watch the game showed a worried expression on their faces after hearing the news.

After seeing the score of the first round, Barcelona thought Real Madrid was in danger.

As a result, I didn't expect them to be so strong after returning to the home court. It only took more than ten minutes to completely equalize their previous disadvantage.

As a result, Real Madrid's probability of advancing to the semi-finals is greatly increased. Unless Wolfsburg continues to create miracles, otherwise, they will definitely be eliminated.

Once Real Madrid advances, Barcelona's probability of meeting them in the semi-finals will greatly increase.

On the Manchester City coaching bench, Guardiola also learned the score of another game.

"So, Zidane still has two brushes!"

The assistant coaches all had a huge change in their impression of Zidane because of this result. Before, everyone thought that Zidane might just be a good footballer and had mediocre abilities in the coaching position.

But now, as Real Madrid is about to reach the semi-finals, they no longer think so.

"I wonder if you have noticed that players who were born as midfielders become particularly good after they change careers and become coaches?"

"Well, that seems to be the case!"

Many famous coaches in football are all midfielders, such as Ancelotti and Guardiola.

The midfield position requires players to have a relatively high overall view. When to attack, when to defend, and where there is space. These all require midfielders to have insight and decision-making.

Therefore, the brains and commanders of most teams are midfielders.

And this kind of thinking is of great help to them in coaching a team.

After all, after coaching a team, you need to coordinate the overall situation, inspect and select players, arrange training, formulate technical and tactical play, manage the locker room and players' psychological work, etc.

Therefore, most coaches who are midfielders are masters of tactics.

As for players who are forwards, the teams they coach usually have very strong offenses. For example, Heynckes and Kevin Keegan are all coaches who are forwards.

Guardiola smiled and said nothing. He heard the conversations of his subordinates, but he never doubted Zidane's coaching ability.

After all, an expert will know if something is there as soon as he takes action.

The opponent's adjustments to Real Madrid's formation and tactics have made this Real Madrid team stronger than two years ago. Their offense is more efficient, concise, and more difficult to defend against.

If Manchester City meets Real Madrid in the semi-finals, the game will definitely not be easy.

But now is not the time to think about this. Manchester City is only taking the initiative on the field and has not yet been able to win the game!

…

If you defend for a long time, you will lose. After resisting many attacks from Manchester City, the players of Paris were relieved when they saw that Manchester City began to control the rhythm and no longer continued the crazy attack before.

However, when the opponent's psychological alertness dropped, Cross keenly captured the opportunity.

In the 34th minute, Cross took the initiative to retreat to catch the ball. Before the opponent's forward could press forward, he stopped the ball to observe, and then quickly moved the ball to the wing.

The moment Cross passed the ball, someone on the wing immediately started, rushing towards the Paris penalty area at high speed like a wild horse.

After seeing the number on the opponent's jersey, all the Paris players broke out in cold sweat!

That's Manchester City's No. 10 - Lin Quan!

"Offside, the referee said he was offside!"

David Luiz raised his hand almost immediately, indicating that Lin Quan was offside.

However, the linesman ignored him and just stared at the ball running quickly along the sideline without any intention of raising a flag.

"Retreat quickly!"

Thiago Silva reminded his teammates loudly while retreating at high speed.

The opponent's cooperation this time was too good, or Lin Quan's timing was perfect. If he was offside one second earlier, it would be difficult to form a single shot if he was offside one second later.

What kind of tacit understanding is needed to achieve such a perfect cooperation without any flaws?

Paris Saint-Germain's goalkeeper had already abandoned the goal and rushed towards Lin Quan.

Without the protection of his teammates, he was waiting for death by continuing to stay in front of the goal. The angle of the opponent's shot was too big. If he didn't try his best to block it, the probability of losing the ball was extremely high!

However, it was a little too late for him to attack at this time.

Lin Quan didn't try to get past the goalkeeper, but he dunked the ball and shook the goalkeeper before finishing the shot easily.

The goalkeeper, who was deceived by Lin Quan's fake move, had no choice but to watch the ball fly into his own goal.

The score became 1:0, the total score became 4:2, and Manchester City's lead further expanded.

At this point, if Paris wants to advance, they must score three goals in the next sixty minutes.

This is very difficult, especially in an away game and the opponent is Manchester City. This is an almost impossible task.

After scoring the goal, Lin Quan pointed to Kroos and motioned for him to celebrate together.

The timing of Kroos' pass was very good. Because the opponent was in a three-centre-back formation, there were loopholes in the defense on the wing, so Lin Quan consciously pulled wide and used the space on the opponent's wing to launch an attack.

Kroos understood his intention and sent the perfect pass to assist him in scoring.

It is very difficult to achieve such cooperation. First of all, the passer's footwork is very demanding.

If such a long pass is slightly off, the result may be completely different.

Cross smiled and rushed over to hug Lin Quan and other teammates.

Although he passed the ball accurately, he was not sure that it would be successful at the moment of passing the ball.

After all, this kind of cooperation requires a high degree of tacit understanding between both parties.

When there is no way to communicate with words, it is not easy to let teammates understand your intentions with one look and one action.

If it is De Bruyne, then it is not surprising that the two have such cooperation, because the two often cooperate with each other and have a very good relationship with each other.

But the relationship between Cross and Lin Quan can only be said to be average, and the number of times he and Lin Quan have cooperated is far less than that of De Bruyne.

So Cross was actually a little surprised. He didn't seem to expect that there was such a tacit understanding between himself and Lin Quan!

On the sidelines, Guardiola stood up and prepared to celebrate when Kroos completed the long pass.

In his opinion, as long as the ball is handed to Lin Quan's feet and he gets a chance to challenge the goalkeeper, it is basically certain that this is a goal!

Lin Quan's success rate with a single sword was astonishingly high, and he rarely wasted a single sword.

The result was not beyond his expectations. Lin Quan lived up to expectations and really scored the ball, and he scored it very easily. There was no such frightening feeling as other forwards' single-handed goals.

"It should be stable now, right?"

The assistant coaches were also very excited. They rushed out one by one, hugged each other and said excitedly.

"Well, it's almost the same. If we score another goal, it will be more stable!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the referee's whistle sounded. Everyone stopped chatting and took a closer look and found that their star player Lin Quan was lying in the opponent's penalty area.

The scene was in an uproar. Many people were immersed in the joy of scoring a goal. They saw this scene before they could see clearly what happened on the field.

This leaves many people confused:

what happens?

Why did Lin Quan fall in the opponent's penalty area?

Moreover, the opponent's goalkeeper was still trying desperately to explain something to the referee. Could it be that Lin Quan's fall had something to do with him?

The replay on the big screen answered everyone's doubts. It turned out that after the restart, Manchester City quickly completed the steal and completed an extremely fast counterattack.

The opponent's goalkeeper Trapp tripped Lin Quan when he was attacking, and that's how the scene happened.

"Red card!"

"This foul is too bad and must be punished severely!"

"Penalty kick!!"

After seeing clearly what had just happened, the Manchester City fans at the scene started shouting and asked the referee to show the opponent's goalkeeper a red card and expel him from the field.

The referee hesitated for a moment, perhaps out of sympathy for Paris, or perhaps because of his soft style, so he did not show the opponent's goalkeeper a red card as the fans requested, but instead showed a yellow card. The opponent warned and awarded Manchester City a penalty kick.

Paris is now behind and cannot escape a penalty kick. If the opponent's goalkeeper is sent off again, the game will enter garbage time early.

Manchester City fans were quite dissatisfied with the referee's decision, booing and shouting black whistles one after another.

However, Lin Quan didn't care about this. The opponent's goalkeeper's foul action just now was not big and did not cause any harm to him.

So the result of a yellow card and a penalty was actually not bad.

Since Lin Quan had already scored a goal before, he planned to give this penalty kick opportunity to Aguero.

But Aguero rejected his kindness:

"No, Lin, you have already given me a penalty kick before. This penalty kick is more important for you to compete for the Champions League Golden Boot. Don't waste the opportunity for me!"

Aguero felt that his condition today was relatively average, and he was afraid of wasting the penalty kick opportunity given up by Lin Quan.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if we missed the free throw?

Besides, he himself was a little embarrassed for accepting the penalty kicks conceded by Lin Quan again and again.

Seeing what the opponent said, Lin Quan stopped insisting and took the penalty kick himself.

I don’t know if it was because of previous fouls or because Lin Quan broke the goal he was guarding many times.

Paris goalkeeper Trapp looked particularly nervous when facing Lin Quan.

After Lin Quan discovered this, he used the change of rhythm during the run-up to shake the opponent, and then calmly pushed the ball and sent the ball into the goal again, completing the score twice.

Compared with the first goal, because this goal was a penalty kick, Lin Quan was not very excited. He just high-fived his teammates and celebrated it hastily.

He didn't know at this time that Ronaldo also scored two goals on another stadium.

But during the halftime break, when Ronaldo learned that Lin Quan had also scored two goals, he immediately lost his composure!

He secretly decided to score at least one more goal in the second half, and he had to overwhelm that guy!

Ronaldo has a strong competitive spirit and is unwilling to lag behind others in anything.

The more powerful the opponent, the more he can be motivated to move forward.

Compared to his competitiveness, Lin Quan was more calm.

"Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo also scored two goals? That's pretty impressive!"

When he learned that Ronaldo had scored twice, Lin Quan just complimented him casually and had no intention of competing with his opponent.

However, luck is something that sometimes cannot be stopped at all!

In the 76th minute of the second half, after Kanter completed the steal, he sent a through ball. Lin Quan received the ball, got rid of it laterally, and directly shot a long shot.

This shot was almost blinded by him because he neither looked at the goal nor the goalkeeper's position when he shot.

However, the shot that was covered by such a kick was of extremely high quality, and it hit the blind spot of the goal, leaving the opponent's goalkeeper helpless!

3:0, Manchester City has killed the game early!

And Lin Quan also completed a hat trick inadvertently!

Although he didn't know there was a competition between him and Ronaldo, he inadvertently took the lead!
