Chapter 175 Iron-blooded temperament!

"Am I seeing right? Emperor Lin ate the other person's afterlife?"

"Haha, I saw it too. Fulham's 1.80-meter-tall left-back rushed over aggressively, trying to knock Lin Huang down, but ended up being humiliated by Lin Huang instead!"

"666! I didn't expect Emperor Lin to be so physically strong!"

“For your information, although Lin Huang is only 173cm tall, he weighs 73kg.

Fulham's left back Richardson is 180cm tall but weighs only 70kg. The other team thought Lin Huang was a pushover, but they hit a wall!"

"Damn, is Emperor Lin so strong? I can't tell at all!"

"That's what they call don't judge a person by appearance!"

…

"Well done, Lin!"

When David Silva saw Lin Quan defeat his opponent in a head-on confrontation and score a goal, he excitedly ran over and high-fived Lin Quan to celebrate: "These guys in the Premier League are tough and will not tolerate softness. The weaker you are, the more they will bully you. If you show toughness and teach them a lesson, they won't dare to be so presumptuous!"

This is David Silva's experience, which is of great reference value for Lin Quan's upcoming journey in the Premier League.

"Well, thank you, David!"

After listening to this, Lin Quan seemed to be thinking about something and turned back to look at Richardson who had just been pulled up by his teammates.

David means to encourage me to continue teaching this guy a lesson?

"What happened? Why did you lose to that kid?"

Tarabut pulled up his teammate who had fallen to the ground and asked in confusion.

"It's okay, I just slipped. Next time I'll let him know how powerful I am!"

Richardson didn't want to admit that he lost to the opponent in the physical confrontation, so he deliberately found an excuse to try to save his face.

"Well, that's good. Next time I'll deal with him together with you!"

Tarabut patted Richardson on the shoulder and returned to his defensive position.

Just at this moment Lin Quan looked towards Richardson. The latter felt Lin Quan's malicious gaze and suddenly felt cold all over, with a bad feeling.

The game continued, and under Lin Quan's organization and coordination, Manchester City's attack became smoother and smoother.

The footwork of these rough guys from Fulham is indeed much worse than that of Manchester City players. If they don't commit fouls, it is almost impossible for them to snatch the ball from Manchester City players.

But this is the Premier League, it's impossible not to foul!

Fulham's players, like many mid- and lower-level clubs in the Premier League, are very good at using their physical advantages.

As a result, there were scenes on the field where they knocked down Manchester City players who had the ball.

In other leagues, most of these actions would be judged as fouls by the referee.

But in the Premier League, their referees are very lenient in their penalties. They did not blow the whistle for most of the fouls, and there was even a hint of encouraging players to engage in physical confrontation.

The referee's lenient standards of judgment encouraged Fulham's players, and they became more unscrupulous.

Under the opponent's constant physical collisions and fouls, Manchester City's attack in the frontcourt became a little stumbling.

Among them, Lin Quan was the one who suffered the most violations.

As the offensive core of Manchester City's frontcourt, he held the ball for the longest time.

But thanks to his excellent dribbling skills, it is much more difficult for the opponent to steal the ball from him than from other Manchester City players.

Therefore, once Fulham players fail to intercept, they will foul him and not give him the opportunity to break through and pass the ball.

Less than thirty minutes into the first half, Lin Quan was knocked down at least ten times by his opponent.

Among them, Fulham's left-back Richardson committed the most fouls.

After learning from his previous failure, he realized that his opponent's physical confrontation ability was no weaker than his own.

If you simply use reasonable collisions to fight him, not only will you not be able to defend against him, but you will also end up suffering a setback.

So, he began to use foul tactics to deal with Lin Quan.

Anyway, the whistles in the Premier League are relatively loose, and the referee may not blow the whistle for some fouls.

It doesn’t matter even if it’s a blow, as long as you don’t get any cards it doesn’t matter.

After knocking Lin Quan down again, the referee just blew a foul and gave him a verbal warning. Richardson didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he said to Lin Quan triumphantly: "Boy, welcome to the Premier League. This is how we entertain guests in the Premier League!"

The Fulham fans in the stands were delighted when they saw the opponent's frontcourt core players being knocked down by their own players one after another.

This is what they want to see! But, once, twice, three times, four times...

Every time Fulham players knocked Lin Quan down, he got up immediately without any intention of rolling on the ground or lying on the grass to waste time.

After standing up, Lin Quan quickly participated in the attack again, as if nothing had happened.

This made Fulham fans gradually unable to laugh.

Although this is the opponent's player, as opponents, they have to admit that Manchester City's No. 10 is very much to their liking.

"Why can't I kick this kid down?"

"This is outrageous, is he made of iron? He's so damn tough!!"

"I thought that since this guy has such good footwork, he would be like those sissy technical players who would just protest to the referee and roll on the grass when being kicked down, but I didn't expect that this guy didn't even complain!

"This style of play is very similar to Keane or even Cantona back then, but not as rebellious as Cantona!"

On the other side, we saw that Lin Quan was not intimidated by the opponent's foul tactics.

On the contrary, after gradually adapting to the pace of the Premier League games, he played better and better on the field.

Wenger felt his eyes brighten. The problems he had worried about before seemed to no longer be a problem. Lin Quan did not have the problem of being unable to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League.

Thinking of this, the professor's eyes dimmed again.

What a good player, it’s a pity that he can’t come to Arsenal, what a pity!

…

The Fulham players who were originally planning to laugh at the joke seemed to be impressed by Lin Quan's tough style of play.

When Lin Quan was fouled by Fulham players again and fell to the ground but quickly got up, not only did they stop laughing at Lin Quan loudly, some Fulham players even couldn't help but applaud him.

If you only have excellent footwork skills, Premier League fans may not respect you.

But if you have excellent footwork and a tough playing style, you will attract a lot of fans.

But Fulham fans soon stopped laughing!

While Lin Quan was constantly fouled by the opponent, he was also observing the referee's penalty standards.

After determining that the Premier League referees' standards of judgment were very lenient, he began to take the initiative!

In the 38th minute of the game, Fulham intercepted the ball and tried to counterattack.

Richardson was about to rush forward with the ball to assist, but unexpectedly a foot slid over and kicked him to the ground.

Richardson rolled on the ground holding his legs, screaming in pain.

The Fulham fans at the scene were in an uproar. After seeing clearly who committed the foul, they started cursing in anger!

"Red card!"

"Give that kid a red card!"

"The Spanish bad boys are so mean!"

The person who committed the foul was none other than Lin Quan, who had been fouled repeatedly by Richardson before.

The referee was nearby and he saw the ball clearly. Lin Quan's foot touched the ball first and then knocked Richardson down. It was a good ball.

If it were in other leagues, at most a foul would be called, but this is the Premier League, and his previous penalty standards were so lenient. If he calls a foul now, the standards will be inconsistent and it will be considered a black whistle against Manchester City.

So, facing the protests of fans at the scene, the referee gestured expressionlessly that the game should continue.

After making this gesture, he glanced at Lin Quan. The kid acted as if nothing had happened after the tackle. He didn't even look at Richardson who fell to the ground and rushed straight towards the ball.

This ruthlessness is really a bit like that of Keane, the former captain of Manchester United.

But aren’t you a Manchester City player?

How can they inherit Manchester United's iron-blooded genes? After seeing the referee's decision, the fans at the scene were unhappy.

They booed the referee team that was officiating the game without hesitation.

Not only the referee was booed, but also Lin Quan who made the tackle.

When Lin Quan was fouled by their players before, they cheered loudly.

Now when Lin Quan retaliated in the same way, they couldn't accept it. They wanted to rush onto the field, take out the red card from the referee's pocket and send Lin Quan off!

The double standards of Fulham fans were fully displayed at this moment.

Because the game continued and the ball was still in Manchester City's hands.

The Fulham players were unable to take care of Richardson who was lying on the ground.

The latter howled on the ground for a long time, but found that no one paid attention to him, so he had to get up from the ground and limped back into the game.

Lin Quan's kick just now was quite strong. When Richardson fell to the ground, he even suspected that his leg was broken by this guy.

However, he was kicked in the face bone, which was a hard injury. The bone was not broken, but the pain was very obvious.

Feeling the tingling pain in his legs, Richardson subconsciously kept his distance from Lin Quan.

At this time, he didn't dare to take the initiative to cause trouble for Lin Quan. Lin Quan's tackle just now had left him with a psychological trauma.

Richardson finally understood that this guy was the type who would never let go of any grudge. He was cruel to himself and even crueler to others, so don't provoke him easily!

If we can't afford to offend, can't we just hide away?

It turns out that he really can't hide! Just because he doesn't cause trouble for Lin Quan doesn't mean Lin Quan won't come looking for him.

In the 44th minute, the ball came to Lin Quan's feet again, and he once again launched an attack on Fulham's penalty area from the right.

As a full-back, Richardson had nowhere to hide and had to rush forward.

Fortunately, the ball was in the opponent's hands this time, so the opponent should not be able to foul him again? As it turned out, he thought it was simple.

Seeing that he was hesitant, wanting to go forward but not daring to, Lin Quan passed the ball to him and accelerated directly, trying to overtake him.

Richardson quickly blocked his position and at the same time pulled Lin Quan's jersey with his hand to prevent him from rushing over.

Lin Quan was waiting for this moment. He took the initiative to move towards the other party and used Kun's famous skill, Iron Mountain Lean, to knock Richardson back several steps and make him sit on the ground with a thump.

Lin Quan then rushed into the penalty area, dribbled past Stekelenburg, and shot into the empty goal, changing the score to 2:0. After scoring, Lin Quan did not celebrate with his teammates, but walked up to Richardson and said, "Thank you for your welcome. I hope you like my hospitality!"

The players of both teams and the fans at the scene were all staring at the scene on the field in amazement. Wasn't they seeing things? A newcomer who had just joined the Premier League taught a lesson to an old veteran who had been in the Premier League for many years?

…

After leading 2:0, Manchester City brought in a large number of substitutes in the second half. Pellegrini began to make various arrangements of the team's defense to test which combination best suited his taste.

Manchester City's defense changed drastically, which should have been an opportunity for Fulham.

But Fulham's offensive means were too simple. It was difficult for them to play ground coordination and they could only keep kicking high balls and making crosses.

After Manchester City's defenders adapted to this single attacking style, it was difficult to pose a threat to them.

In the 79th minute of the second half, Lin Quan assisted Aguero to score another goal, changing the score to 3:0. In the end, with the goals of Lin Quan and Aguero, Manchester City defeated Fulham 3:0 and got off to a good start in the new season's warm-up match.

Five days later, Manchester City returned to their home ground to face the challenge of Premier League giants Arsenal.

Arsenal is much stronger than Fulham.

Their players are extremely good at passing and cutting on the ground, which is completely different from the previous game where Fulham could only play high balls.

Faced with Arsenal's dazzling ground passing and cutting, Manchester City's defense was completely unable to adapt to the opponent's offensive rhythm.

Before the first half was over, Arsenal had scored two goals against Manchester City.

The goals were scored by Theo Walcott and Ramsey, with Walcott making one assist and one goal, performing outstandingly.

The young tiger Walcott was signed by Wenger when he was 17 years old and was a young player that Wenger was very optimistic about.

And his performance is worthy of Wenger's expectations.

Last season, the little tiger scored 21 goals in all competitions, averaging 0.5 goals per game, and was the top scorer of Arsenal.

This season, in order to keep the young tiger, at Wenger's request, Arsenal offered the latter a big contract with a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds, which is equivalent to an annual salary of about 6 million euros.

For a young player who is only 23 years old, this annual salary is already very high.

However, there is a guy in the opposing Manchester City team whose weekly salary is four times his.

Seeing Walcott causing trouble in Manchester City's backcourt, Lin Quan naturally couldn't just stand by and watch.

He also contributed one pass and one shot in the first half, scored a goal himself and assisted Silva to score a goal.

The two teams ended the first half with a score of 2:2.

Both teams were dissatisfied with the score.

Pellegrini was dissatisfied with the fact that the team's defense was too easily penetrated by the opponent's passing and cutting tactics, while Wenger was dissatisfied with his midfield's inability to control the situation on the field and his defenders' inability to defend against Lin Quan.

As a result, both teams made adjustments during the half-time break.

Arsenal replaced Ozil, who had a soft style of play and was afraid of confrontation, with Spanish international Cazorla.

This substitution had a very good effect. After Cazorla came on the court, he quickly assisted his teammate and helped Giroud score in the penalty area.

Arsenal reversed the score and temporarily led Manchester City by one goal with a score of 3:2.

However, Cazorla is not a player with a very strong body and strong physical confrontation.

After he came on the pitch, although his cooperation with his teammates became more tacit, it still failed to solve Arsenal's weak waist problem.

After Lin Quan retreated, Manchester City suppressed Arsenal in the midfield.

The ball gradually fell into Manchester City's control, but after Lin Quan retreated, the attack in the frontcourt lacked connection and the offensive power dropped a lot.

At this time, Manchester City fans intuitively felt Lin Quan's role in the team on the field.

Although Lin Quan has only been in the team for a short time, he is already an indispensable part of Manchester City! "This kid can help the team organize the offense in the frontcourt, and can help the team control the midfield after retreating. He can not only break through and shoot to score goals as a winger, but also send high-quality crosses to help teammates score goals. He is like a monster!"

In the Arsenal coaching booth, assistant coach Pat Les was amazed at Lin Quan's performance on the field.

Although Lin Quan plays as a libero and his position is not fixed, this is too free!

Players running around like this made Arsenal's defense difficult.

"Yeah, Lin is a genius-level player!"

Wenger's evaluation of Lin Quan is higher than that of his assistant. After all, this is the white moonlight he once missed! In the 72nd minute of the game, Lin Quan received the ball in the defensive midfielder position. Before the opponent rushed up to press, he observed the opponent's defensive position.

When Aguero saw Lin Quan holding the ball, he immediately moved forward, trying to create space.

After catching several passes from Lin Quan, Aguero has become convinced of Lin Quan's passing ability.

Although the distance between the two was a little far at this time, he had no doubt that as long as he ran into an open space, Lin Quan would be able to deliver the ball to his feet.

The Argentines made the right bet! After seeing Aguero's running position, Lin Quan decisively kicked the ball and sent a long pass of more than 40 meters.

This ball seemed to have eyes and accurately found Aguero who was running.

When Aguero received the ball, he suddenly found that there was no space in front of him.

Lin Quan's pass combined with his running position actually broke through Arsenal's defense!
