Chapter 178: Upgrade the Injury Immunity Talent to the maximum level!

After David Silva was injured and left the field, Pellegrini replaced him with No. 7 player James Milner.

This was a positional substitution. At this time, Milner was not the defender he was at Liverpool. He played as a winger for Manchester City.

Lin Quan ignored the substitutions on the sidelines. He held the football and placed it at the penalty spot, intending to take the penalty himself.

Manchester City's first penalty taker was Yaya Toure. He felt a little unhappy when he saw Lin Quan standing on the penalty spot by himself.

However, head coach Pellegrini on the sidelines did not make any comment on Lin Quan's action, so Yaya Toure could only put away his unhappiness.

Newcastle goalkeeper Krul stared at Lin Quan's every move intently. He noticed that the other party's emotions seemed a little abnormal, and suddenly some ideas came to his mind.

Compared with Lin Quan, he is just an unknown little goalkeeper!

But if he could save this penalty, he would become famous overnight.

Next year is the World Cup year. Krul, who can only be a substitute in the Dutch national team, really needs a famous goal to enhance his fame.

And Lin Quan is obviously the stepping stone on his road to fame.

So, he took advantage of the referee's whistle and deliberately shouted to Lin Quan:

"Boy, let me measure your strength and see how strong you are!"

After saying this, he jumped up again, giving people a feeling that everything was under his control.

Lin Quan didn't even look at him, as if he had just heard a dog barking.

Krull was very angry at this behavior of treating him as air.

Boy, just wait, after I save your penalty, you will cry! He was looking forward to seeing the expression on the opponent's face after he saved the penalty.

That must be wonderful.

Krul's strength is not that strong, but he is good at saving penalties.

In the time and space before Lin Quan traveled through time, he came on as a substitute in the penalty shootout between the Netherlands and Costa Rica in 2014. After saving two consecutive penalties from the opponent, he helped the Netherlands advance to the semi-finals.

It can be said that the Dutch team brought him with them just to let him save penalties.

The secret of his penalty saves is that he is very good at judging the opponent's shooting route based on the opponent's muscle movements, and then making a prediction one step ahead.

At this time, he was ready to use this trick to deal with Lin Quan.

Lin Quan stepped back, exited the small penalty area, and started his run-up.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Krul counted the opponent's steps in his mind, and based on the length of his stride, he judged which foot the opponent would eventually use to shoot.

Step seven, left foot!

If he shoots with his left foot, he will hit the right side of the goal, which is his left hand side! Thinking of this, Krul just moved one step to his left hand side, and saw that Lin Quan really touched the ball with his left foot at the seventh step.

Boy, I guessed all your moves, you are doomed!

Krul was extremely proud, he launched himself out with great force, and while flying in the air, he couldn't help imagining the scene in his mind of himself becoming the hero of the team after saving Lin Quan's penalty kick, and being sought after and reported by countless media and newspapers.

What a beautiful passing that was!

The football flew up almost at the same time and flew towards the goal.

However, the football did not fly to the right side of the goal, but went straight to the center of the goal.

Krull's eyes widened with disbelief!

How is that possible?

This was actually a left-footed penalty kick? The ball crashed into the net and the Etihad Stadium cheered.

The fans stood up and applauded Lin Quan.

Manchester City players also ran over and wanted to hug Lin Quan to celebrate.

But Lin Quan refused to celebrate.

After scoring the penalty, he quickly ran towards the opponent's goal.

While Newcastle goalkeeper Krul was still lying on the ground doubting his life about the goal just now, he fished the football out of the net.

Under the surprised gazes of the players from both Manchester City and Newcastle, Lin Quan ran to the center circle with the football in his arms, placed it at the kick-off spot and stood behind, waiting for the kick-off to begin again.

The players of both teams were confused. What was going on? Was this guy so anxious to restart the game? This kind of action was usually taken when the team behind in the game was eager to equalize the score. The purpose was to save time and use the remaining time to launch an attack as much as possible to equalize the score.

But now, aren't you, Manchester City, leading the score?

Newcastle's players couldn't help but look at the scoreboard on the big screen. The score of 2:0 was bright red and glaring.

It was true that they were behind, but why were the opposing players so anxious to attack?

Could it be that the other side felt that scoring two goals was not enough and wanted to score a few more goals against them? Manchester City's players and fans at the scene also saw Lin Quan's move. They were stunned for a moment, and then they reacted immediately.

After the fans at the scene realized what was happening, they all cheered for Lin Quan.

"Just do them like this!"

"Hit them a few more times and let them know the consequences of the lively Blue Moon!"

"Give them a tragedy, so that they will always remember the sad place of Etihad Stadium !"

Thousands of words finally converged into one sentence:

"Bloodbath in Newcastle!"

Nearly 50,000 Manchester City fans shouted this slogan collectively, filling the entire stadium with a strong atmosphere of fighting and revenge.

Influenced by this, every Manchester City player felt their blood boiling. They immediately ended the celebration, quickly returned to their positions, and prepared to continue attacking the enemy.

How can two wins be enough! If you want to win, win more, so that they will always remember that Blue Moon is not to be trifled with! The expressions on the faces of Newcastle's players began to become solemn, and they felt the burning fighting spirit of the opposing players.

Many players were frightened by the atmosphere in the home stadium.

The atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium now is a bit like those famous devil's home stadiums in Europe!

They felt a little uneasy, and they might not be able to walk out of the Etihad Stadium intact today! So, a very strange scene appeared on the field.

Manchester City, who were leading in the score, chose not to celebrate and returned to their positions early to prepare for the kick-off.

Newcastle, who were behind in the score, hesitated and dithered for a long time. Finally, under the urging of the referee, they reluctantly returned to their respective positions.

Beep! As soon as the referee blew the whistle, Manchester City immediately launched an attack on the opponent.

Lin Quan kicked the ball to Aguero and quickly moved forward.

Aguero passed the ball immediately afterwards, and after receiving the ball, Lin Quan ran directly to the opponent's wing.

Mbiwa suddenly felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. He had a premonition that the other party was coming for him.

He was not the only one who felt this way. Seeing the murderous look on Lin's face, other Newcastle players also noticed it.

Gufran and Ben Arfa almost simultaneously chose to move towards their own flanks, intending to cooperate with Mbiwa to intercept Lin Quan and end the opponent's attack.

Manchester City's strength lies in its overall strength. If Lin Quan intends to deal with them alone, they will be very happy.

After all, it is much easier to defend against just one person than a group of people!

No matter how strong the opponent is, can he destroy his entire defense line by himself? Impossible, absolutely impossible! With the help of his teammates, Mbiwa became much braver.

He rushed towards Lin Quan with arrogance, speaking trash as he got closer to him.

"Boy, do you want to avenge your teammates?"

"Haha, what a joke. Just with your strength, you think you can take on our entire defense line?"

"Stop dreaming, you are bringing shame upon yourself!"

After listening to the other party's trash talk, Lin Quan calmly raised his head and glanced at him: "Are you done?"

"Um?"

Mbiwa was a little surprised. He didn't expect the other party to pick up his words.

This immediately aroused his interest.

I may not be as good as you in basketball skills, but when it comes to trash talking, ten of you tied together may not be my match!

But just as he was getting ready to engage in a verbal battle with Lin Quan.

However, Lin Quan took advantage of his distraction and passed him cleanly and neatly, passing by him.

After passing Mbiwa, Lin Quan quickly cut inside, and Gufran rushed too quickly and was also dribbled past by him.

The two central defenders, Taylor and Kolonić, were facing a formidable enemy and rushed forward to intercept and interfere, not giving him a chance to shoot.

But Lin Quan was one step faster than them. He pulled the ball sideways, moved away a little, and then shot directly from about 25 meters away from the goal.

Unfortunately, the ball went slightly over the crossbar and flew into the stands.

Although this attack ultimately failed to turn into a goal, Lin Quan's attack from the wing still posed a considerable threat to Newcastle's goal.

"Don't be distracted, that kid is very good at dribbling past people. If you lose focus for a moment, he will easily pass you by!"

Teammates reminded and even criticized Mbiwa, saying that he played a major role in the team's success in this match.

"My, my, I won't be distracted next time!"

Mbiwa felt the blame from his teammates and quickly admitted his mistake.

He didn't dare to trash talk his teammates, because if he did, he would be the only one who would suffer.

Pellegrini frowned when he discovered Lin Quan's intention.

This option of fighting alone was not part of his tactical plan.

So he called a player and asked him to convey his instructions to the other players on the field.

Let more players on the field move to the right side to cooperate with and cover Lin Quan so that he doesn't have to fight alone.

In the 33rd minute, Manchester City launched an attack and Lin Quan received the ball on the wing again.

Almost the same as before, he chose to attack Mbiwa again.

But this time was different from the previous time. When Lin Quan received the ball, Manchester City sent two people to assist him.

Milner was supporting him from behind, while Aguero attracted the defensive players diagonally in front of him, preventing them from double-teaming Lin Quan.

With the help of his teammates, Lin Quan got the opportunity to challenge Mbiwa one-on-one.

Mbiwa felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. Without the assistance of his teammates, he faced Lin Quan alone and felt tremendous pressure.

He tried his best to lower his center of gravity, stick to the inside, and force the opponent to go to the outside.

However, Lin Quan used two spikes and a change of direction to trick him into spinning around, and then calmly passed by him.

When the fans at the scene saw Mbiwa, the culprit who caused David Silva's injury, being teased by Lin Quan, they all burst into laughter and mocked him wantonly.

"Garlic, where are the people you are defending?"

“Haha, you stupid guy, you are worse than a pile of dog shit in front of Lin!”

"Putting a wooden stake there would be more powerful than you!"

"With your level, you still want to play professional games? Go home and raise pigs!"

Mbiwa has a very strange hairstyle, which looks like a garlic, and Manchester City fans use this to mock him.

Mbiwa was already a little furious after being passed by Lin Quan so easily.

When he heard the ridicule from Manchester City fans at this time, he was about to explode.

This group of people from Manchester City are really going too far! Just wait and see if you can still laugh after I knock out your star player! After Lin Quan passed Mbiwa, he passed the ball to Aguero and played a wall pass with him.

Although the two have not played together for a long time, they both have high football IQs and know how to handle the situation most appropriately at all times.

After receiving the pass from Aguero at the front of the penalty area, Lin Quan pretended to rush inside, scaring the Newcastle players into retreating to intercept.

But he did not choose to act recklessly, but passed the ball to his teammate Milner.

According to Pellegrini's tactics, when attacking from the wing, players must resolutely move to the wing to provide support to the attacking players.

Milner implemented this point very well. As soon as he reached the baseline, he received the pass from Lin Quan.

Milner passed the ball into the penalty area before Newcastle players intercepted it.

Lin Quan ran diagonally, received the ball without looking behind him, and used his heel to knock the ball to the back.

Aguero followed up and made a powerful shot without any defense, changing the score to 3:0. This ball was effectively won by Manchester City's cooperation on the wing, with Milner's cross, Lin Quan's imaginative heel pass and Aguero's final high-quality shot.

All these combined together led to this goal.

After seeing this goal, Pellegrini on the sidelines excitedly applauded the team.

This was the attack he wanted to see! He was just worried that Lin Quan would lose his mind because of his teammate's injury and get stuck in a dead end fighting with the opponent's defender, but he didn't expect Lin Quan to give him a surprise so soon.

It seems that my worries are unnecessary, Lin Quan is not the kind of player who acts on impulse.

Thinking of this, Pellegrini felt completely relaxed.

He feels lucky to be able to coach such a calm, capable and extremely comprehensive player.

My decision to accept Manchester City now seems to be the right one.

After Aguero scored the goal, he took the initiative to run over and high-fived Lin Quan to celebrate.

Lin Quan's pass was so good that he was worried about how Lin Quan would get rid of the defensive player and pass the ball to him. However, he didn't expect that the opponent would pass the ball in this way.

"Lin, your pass was great. How did you think of passing the ball to me in this way?"

Aguero was very curious and wondered what Lin Quan was thinking when he passed the ball.

"Well, I thought you might be behind me, but there were two defenders next to me and I didn't have the time and space to turn around, so I thought about using my heel to hit the ball without turning around. This way, it can not only help you get the ball, but also deceive the defenders so that they don't have time to react in the first time!"

"So that's how it is, you are so amazing!"

Aguero gave Lin Quan a thumbs up. Although it sounded simple, it took a split second to make such a judgment and pass the ball to his teammates based on his feeling without looking at their positions.

This is extremely difficult! Aguero felt that although Lin Quan did not check his position before passing the ball, he certainly did not pass the ball based on his feeling as he said.

Before he received the ball, he should have paid attention to his running position and judged that he would run here, so he made such a perfect pass! Seeing Lin Quan assist Aguero to score another goal, Mbiwa's mood became worse.

This goal loss has nothing to do with him!

All three goals scored by Manchester City were related to him.

If the game ended with this score, he would be the team's number one culprit.

Thinking of this, Mbiwa's mood instantly became extremely unhappy.

He looked at Lin Quan viciously and said, "Since I can defeat your teammates, I can also defeat you!"

Just wait, kid! As if hearing his voice, in the 40th minute, Manchester City's ball came to Lin Quan's feet again, and Lin Quan appeared on the right wing again.

Mbiwa seized the opportunity and tackled Lin Quan from behind after he passed him.

The ball was aimed at people! The fans at the scene saw that Mbiwa, a bad guy, showed his studs again, and he used a shovel from behind to target Lin Quan.

Their faces all changed in horror!

"Lin, be careful!"

"Watch out for the tackle!"

The fans started to remind them, but it was too late.

Mbiwade kicked Lin Quan's ankle, but it felt like he had kicked a steel plate.

A sharp pain came over him, and he couldn't help but let out a scream! "Ahhhhhhhh!"

Lin Quan was also knocked to the ground by him.

The referee ran over quickly and without saying a word showed a red card to Mbiwa who was lying on the ground holding his foot and screaming in pain.

This kid, it would be fine if he just broke the rules right under my nose, but he even dared to act.

Do you think my eyes are blind?

I gave you a yellow card for that foul in the penalty area and let you off, but you dared to do it again, and even tackled me from behind. Do you really think I dare not punish you?

After showing Mbiwa a red card, the referee signaled him to get off the field and turned towards Lin Quan who was lying on the ground.

In his opinion, Lin Quan was the one who was truly hurt.

Mbiwa took the initiative to tackle the ball, could he hurt himself? "How about it, can you hold on? If not, call for a stretcher to carry you away!"

Manchester City lost two players due to injuries in one game, and the referee felt that the matter might not be resolved peacefully.

Manchester City will definitely protest to the English Football Association after the game, and they may have to write an inspection report or even be suspended and investigated.

When he thought of this, he decided to write a harsh note about Mbiwa in the post-match records and ask the FA to impose additional punishment on him.

I thought Lin Quan was seriously injured, but unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Lin Quan jumped up from the ground, hopped around on the spot, and checked his ankle under the stunned expressions of the players from both teams.

After confirming that there was no problem, he said to the referee: "I'm fine, no need to call for a stretcher!"
