Chapter 180 Ronaldo: Lin Quan is actually stealing my skills!

After the game, Lin Quan went to the hospital to visit the injured David Silva.

After careful examination by the doctor, David Silva had a serious ankle sprain and needed to rest for about three months.

The new Premier League season has just started, but he is out due to injury and will miss at least 15 Premier League games.

This is definitely not good news for David Silva.

Pellegrini is currently experimenting with the team's tactical style of play. If he is absent at this time, he is very likely to fade out of his main lineup.

Once Manchester City's main lineup is decided, even if David Silva returns from injury, he may not be able to regain his place in the team.

Silva himself is well aware of this, so he seems a little depressed.

But he was still very happy to see Lin Quan coming: "Thank you for avenging me, but next time you encounter something like this, don't be so impulsive. If you get hurt as well, it would be too bad!"

Silva watched the previous game through the hospital's TV replay. When he saw Lin Quan being fouled by his opponent for standing up for him, he felt touched and worried.

Fortunately, Lin Quan was not injured, otherwise he would have blamed himself to death.

"Don't be polite to me. We are not only teammates, but also good friends. Isn't it natural for me to stick up for my good friends?"

As soon as these words were spoken, David Silva was even more moved.

However, he did not act like a little girl, but nodded heavily:

"Okay, since you consider me a friend, I won't be hypocritical. I can't help you in the next game, so the team depends on you. You should work hard during this period. Don't wait until I come back and the team's points have dropped to the bottom."

"Haha, who are you looking down on? We will definitely be waiting for you at the top of the list!"

"That would be best!"

"Just rest and recover. My teammates and I are waiting for you to come back and lift the trophy together. We are sure to win the Premier League title this season!!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

The two of them high-fived each other and pledged to hold the cup.

…

Since Manchester City's game in this round was scheduled last, the second round of the Premier League started not long after they finished their game with Newcastle.

On August 24, the farmers Fulham played at home against Arsenal, who had lost unexpectedly in the first round.

As they lost the previous game at home, Wenger gave the team a strict order to beat Fulham in this game.

If they lose again, their plan to maintain their top four position this season will be difficult.

Arsenal, who were full of anger, were very motivated in this game. Giroud scored the first goal for the team just 6 minutes into the game.

Podolski then scored twice to help the team lead their opponents 3:0.

Darren Bent scored a goal in the second half, which saved a little face.

In the end, Arsenal defeated Fulham 3:1 away, with one win and one loss in two league rounds, which can be regarded as stopping the downward trend.

After Arsenal, Liverpool beat Aston Villa 1-0 away from home, achieving two consecutive victories.

Tottenham Hotspur beat Swansea 1-0 and achieved two consecutive victories.

There were not many goals scored in the Premier League in this round.

In addition to the Liverpool and Tottenham games, which both scored only one goal, there were two games with zero goals.

Everton drew 0:0 with West Bromwich Albion at home, and Newcastle drew 0:0 with West Ham United.

Premier League teams, especially those in the middle and lower reaches, frequently commit fouls during matches and are shown an average of four yellow cards per game.

In the match between Liverpool and Aston Villa, both sides received a total of eight yellow cards, three for Liverpool and five for Aston Villa.

This was the second consecutive game that Aston Villa received five yellow cards.

They also received five yellow cards in the last game against Arsenal.

If they hadn't encountered the Red Army, which is known for its tenacity, their foul tactics might have worked.

After experiencing the power of the opponent's foul tactics, Liverpool fans could no longer laugh at Arsenal's loss.

Arsenal plays a technical style, and when faced with an opponent that constantly uses rough fouls to stop the attack, there is really nothing they can do.

There were so many yellow cards in this round of games, which also aroused heated discussions among fans.

This is the Premier League, a league known for its lenient enforcement standards, and yet there are so many yellow cards.

If the enforcement standards of other leagues are followed, the number of yellow cards would have to double!

Therefore, fans from other five major leagues laughed at the Premier League, saying that the Premier League players were not playing football on the field, but playing a high-level game - wrestling! Otherwise, why would so many people fall down? The Premier League fans naturally could not accept the accusations from other leagues, and they stood up to quibble:

Fouls cannot be considered barbaric football. In football, is it possible to avoid fouls?

There were a series of difficult to understand words, such as "the origin of modern football" and "the battle of real men", which made the netizens laugh.

The Internet was instantly filled with a happy atmosphere...

…

After the game of the previous day, Manchester City traveled to Wales to face Cardiff City the next day.

Cardiff City has just been promoted from the Championship and is one of the three newly promoted teams in the Premier League this season.

In their first game, they lost cleanly 0:2 to West Ham United away from home. In this game, they are at home and hope to get points from Manchester City.

More than 30,000 fans came to Cardiff Stadium today, filling this small-capacity stadium to the brim.

For Cardiff City fans, this is the first time their team has been promoted to the top league in fifty years, so they don't want to miss the team's first Premier League home game.

Not only were the fans crazy, but Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan also came to the scene to watch the game in person.

He did not sit in the box at the top of the stadium like other Premier League bosses, but wore the team's jersey and sat in the stands like ordinary fans.

This won him the approval of the Cardiff City fans, who sang and cheered for the team throughout the game.

Perhaps it was because they felt the enthusiasm of the fans, or perhaps it was because the boss was personally supervising the game, which made the players full of fighting spirit.

Cardiff City's performance in this game was extraordinary! Under their tight defense, Manchester City's attack was like hitting a wall, and it was difficult to penetrate their defense.

Not only did Cardiff players accumulate heavy troops in the backcourt, but their players also spared no effort in running all over the field, using aggressive fighting and running to resolve crises time and time again.

In the 55th minute of the second half, Manchester City finally scored a goal from a set piece.

Unexpectedly, Cardiff City launched a counterattack and equalized the score in just five minutes.

Pellegrini was very dissatisfied with the team's performance, and he replaced three players in succession in the 58th minute.

Substitute Nasri for Navas who performed poorly.

Negredo was brought on to replace Aguero who also performed poorly.

Substitute Milner for Fernandinho.

Except for Lin Quan, almost all the players in the frontcourt were replaced.

In this game, the team's disadvantage on the offensive end made the entire Manchester City team begin to miss the little Spanish player who was active on the wing.

The impact of David Silva's absence on the team began to become apparent.

After the substitution, Manchester City launched a surge of attack.

The offensive players who came on the field tried very hard to break the opponent's goal!

As long as they seize this opportunity to perform and leave a good impression on the head coach, they will be able to take the initiative in the subsequent battle for the main position.

However, after these players came on the court, they were not familiar with each other, their tacit understanding was completely insufficient, and their cooperation was terrible. Manchester City's offensive threat not only did not increase, but decreased.

As a result, it was not them but their opponent Cardiff City who broke the deadlock first.

In the 79th minute of the game, Cardiff City winger Fraser Campbell scored a goal and changed the score to 2:1. This score almost drove the Cardiff City fans at the scene into a frenzy! They waved flags like crazy, chanted Campbell's name, and sang praises for him.

The club's owner, Chen Zhiyuan, got a big drum from somewhere and started beating it himself, waving the drumstick.

Campbell, who scored the goal, saw that the boss was beating the drums himself, and excitedly performed a slide show with his teammates, responding to the warm applause of the home fans.

The opponent's morale is high, but Manchester City's morale is somewhat low.

Looking at his opponent celebrating wildly, Lin Quan stood in the center circle with his hands on his hips, with a very serious expression.

David Silva's absence had the greatest impact on Lin Quan.

He and his teammates just couldn't cooperate at all.

Aguero's form today was also very low, which resulted in him fighting almost alone in the frontcourt without any support from his teammates.

At this moment, he missed De Bruyne very much.

If Ding Ding was there, he would never have played so hard in this game! However, Lin Quan is not the kind of person who gives up easily. As the core of Manchester City's frontcourt, he should stand up at this time.

After the game resumed, people found that Lin Quan increased the number of times he broke through.

If Cardiff City players don't double-team him, he will seize the opportunity to pass the defender, or dribble inside and take a long shot, or go straight into the penalty area and threaten the goal.

In just a few minutes, Lin Quan almost single-handedly made Cardiff City's goal panic.

"Watch that kid closely, don't let him get into the restricted area!"

"If you really can't stop him, use foul tactics and give him a hard blow to make him stop being so arrogant!"

Cardiff City's players have limited abilities and are unable to defend Lin Quan in a one-on-one situation.

Double-teaming may also cause the defense to miss someone, so they plan to use foul tactics to curb the opponent's offense, which is also the tradition of the Premier League.

They thought that the opponent was a superstar, and if they tackled him a few more times, he would be scared and would restrain his movements and would not dare to dribble past others or break through.

Without his breakthrough, Manchester City's attack could not penetrate their defense and could not pose a threat to them! As long as they hold on to these last few minutes, the victory will belong to Cardiff City!

However, Lin Quan's tenacity was beyond the expectations of Cardiff City players.

They committed fouls again and again, and kicked the opponents down again and again, but it did not scare him. Instead, they kept giving Manchester City free kick opportunities in the frontcourt.

When they saw that the foul location was getting closer and closer to their own penalty area and the position was getting better and better, the Cardiff City players finally realized that something was wrong.

After discovering the opponent's foul tactics, Lin Quan deliberately lured the opponent to commit a foul at a place of his choice, so that he could choose the location of the free kick.

After wasting two free kick opportunities, Lin Quan stood at the penalty spot for the third time.

Yaya Toure was eager to take the free kick several times.

But this opportunity was created by Lin Quan, and since the other party did not take the initiative to give it up, it would be difficult for him to ask for it.

But seeing that Lin Quan wasted two chances in a row, Yaya Toure complained in his heart. He decided that if the opponent missed again, he would stand up to stop the opponent next time no matter what.

The fans at the scene thought the same as Yaya Toure, although they also felt that the position of the free kick was a little too good.

If we give the ball to those powerful free kick masters, our goal will be in danger.

But after seeing Lin Quan's two previous free kicks, they were not too worried anymore.

In the previous two free kicks, Lin Quan kicked one too high and the ball went over the crossbar.

Another time, the penalty was too low and the ball hit the wall and was blocked.

Neither of his two free kicks posed a threat to the goal, which made Cardiff City fans not believe in his free kick skills at all.

They admitted that this guy had great footwork, was very good at breaking through and dribbling past opponents, and they had almost never seen him lose in a one-on-one duel.

However, free kicks and dribbling are two completely different skills. Being good at dribbling does not mean that one is good at taking free kicks.

Seeing Lin Quan retreating step by step, almost ten steps before stopping, the fans of Cardiff City were very disdainful.

If you can’t score a penalty, it’s useless to learn from Ronaldo!

At this time, in an apartment somewhere in London, a guy who looked like Tintin, the protagonist of the Adventures of Tintin, saw Lin Quan's free throw posture and jumped up from the Shaf:

"Elevator ball!"

In a mansion in Madrid, Real Madrid's star player Cristiano Ronaldo saw Lin Quan's free throw posture and twitched his chin in thought: Is this kid imitating me? The more he watched this posture and this action, the more he thought about it.

However, he still lacks a firm look in his eyes, but this is the hardest thing to learn, and most people can't learn it at all!

Thinking of this, Ronaldo was a little proud! Lin Quan ignored the boos from the fans. After he retreated to a sufficient distance, he took a deep breath and started to run.

He is very clear about the principle of the elevator ball, as he was the one who taught De Bruyne how to play the elevator ball.

The reason why he doesn't use it is because this kind of heavy artillery fire can easily cause him to get injured.

But now, after he exchanged for the injury immunity talent, he doesn't have to worry about that.

So he can also use powerful shots like the elevator ball!

Lin Quan ran faster and faster. After the run-up, he kicked the football hard! With a bang, the football was squeezed out of shape, whistling in the air, and flew over the wall of people like lightning and flew towards the net.

“Too high!”

Seeing the trajectory of the football flying in the air, Yaya Toure snorted coldly and was very dissatisfied.

As expected, he missed the penalty again. This guy wasted three chances!

"Haha, this ball is not threatening!"

The Cardiff fans at the scene thought the same as Yaya Toure. After seeing the trajectory of the ball, they all felt safe.

However, just when they thought they were safe, the football in mid-air suddenly fell rapidly as if it was cast under some kind of magic, brushing the lower edge of the crossbar and falling into the net.

The goalkeeper didn't even try to save the ball, and stared in amazement as the ball flew into his own net! The 30,000 fans of Cardiff City were in a dead silence, and the entire stadium was completely silent.

"This ball actually went in?"

Chen Zhiyuan, who was playing the drum, dropped the drumstick in his hand in shock and stared at the football rolling in his own net in amazement, his face full of disbelief.

"Haha, it's really an elevator ball, and it's a pretty beautiful kick!"

In a London apartment, a player who looks like a cartoon character couldn't help but pump his fist after seeing the ball fly into the net, as if he had kicked it himself.

However, when he thought about his current situation in the team, his mood gradually dropped again.

In a mansion in Madrid, we saw Lin Quan not only "imitate" successfully, but also score such a wonderful free kick.

C Luo widened his eyes and looked a little surprised.

The quality of Lin Quan's free kick was somewhat beyond his expectations. If it were him, there was no guarantee that he could kick such a high-quality free kick.

It seems that I have underestimated his elevator ball skills!

Feeling the pressure, Ronaldo could no longer sit still and planned to go to the field to practice more with the football in his arms! (End of this chapter)
