Chapter 181: Failed to sneak into Old Trafford, Lin Quan was exposed!

After scoring the penalty, Lin Quan did not choose to celebrate, but quickly rushed into the net, picked up the ball and ran back.

There is not much time left in the game. If you want to win, you must race against time.

Manchester City players were originally celebrating Lin Quan's equaliser, as they were lucky not to lose away from home.

After seeing Lin Quan's actions at this time, they all came to their senses.

The game isn't over yet, they still have hope of winning!

When they thought of this, they couldn't help feeling a little ashamed of themselves.

I was actually happy about the equalizer, and even felt satisfied with just one point away from home. Manchester City's goal is to win the Premier League championship!

This kind of idea of ​​being content with a small fortune is not good! On the sidelines, Pellegrini applauded Lin Quan's actions.

If you ask him who he is most satisfied with in this team, Lin Quan is always the first answer! After the team's lead was wiped out, the players and fans of Cardiff City felt a huge gap in their hearts.

It was clear that if they just held on for a few more minutes, they would have achieved their first home win in the Premier League.

However, in the last few minutes, the opponent equalized the game with a free kick, which made them feel unwilling, disappointed, and a little bit scared.

They could clearly feel that after the opponent scored this goal, their momentum had completely risen.

Although there was not much time left in the game, Manchester City had once won the league title from Manchester United by scoring a last-second goal in the last game of the league. Facing such a team that had created miracles before, the players of Cardiff City were actually a little scared.

Therefore, they couldn't help but worry in their hearts, fearing that the same thing might happen to them.

As the saying goes, what you fear will come to you! After the restart, Manchester City's morale was high, and all the players rushed into the opponent's half and launched a frenzy attack around Cardiff City's penalty area.

In such a crazy siege, Manchester City created many opportunities but missed them.

In the 87th minute, Yaya Toure's long shot went over the goal.

In the 89th minute, Negredo's shot was too straight and was confiscated by the goalkeeper.

In the 91st minute, Lin Quan's shot from a small angle hit the post.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there was less and less time left for Manchester City.

The referee has started looking at the time, ready to blow the whistle to end the game at any time.

In the third minute of injury time, Cardiff City players committed another foul in front of the penalty area, giving Manchester City a free kick.

This may be Manchester City's last attack in this game. The injury time given by the referee has expired. After this ball is kicked out, he is likely to blow the whistle to end the game! Therefore, this free kick is of great significance to Manchester City.

It can be said that how many points Manchester City can get in this game depends entirely on the performance of the player who takes the penalty kick!

Therefore, this will create tremendous psychological pressure for the players who take free kicks.

This time, Yaya Toure did not compete with Lin Quan, but took the initiative to give up the opportunity to take the penalty.

Obviously, he was not sure he could make the free throw and was worried that he would become the sinner of the team if he missed the free throw, so he backed off.

Lin Quan didn't think too much about it. Regardless of whether he took the penalty kick or not, as long as the team failed to win the game, he would definitely be the one criticized the most by the outside world.

Who says he is the most famous and has the highest salary in Manchester City!

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

Moreover, he doesn't like to leave his destiny in the hands of others.

He will feel more confident if he plays this ball himself.

Just like before, after Lin Quan positioned the ball, he stepped back more than ten steps.

He took a look in the direction of the goal and started to run faster.

At this moment, Lin Quan became the focus of everyone's attention.

Time seemed to be slowed down, and the eyes of 30,000 Cardiff City fans, including their boss and all the players on the field, were now fixed on Lin Quan.

The distance of ten meters passed in a flash, and Lin Quan rushed to the ball.

Just like before, he raised his right leg high, gathered all his strength, and kicked the football hard.

Bang! A sound like an explosion exploded on the football field!

The ball whizzed past the wall of people like a rocket and rushed towards Cardiff City's net.

This time, the goalkeeper is finally no longer a spectator!

He jumped high, stretched his body to the limit, and tried hard to expand his body's defensive area in an attempt to block the ball.

However, the speed of the football was beyond his imagination. He only heard the sound of wind breaking through the air, and something seemed to pass by in front of his eyes.

Then there was a "swish" sound, and when I looked back, the football had already flown into my own net!

The goalkeeper fell to the ground in despair, keeping his head back looking at the moon, staring at the football rolling in the net.

He was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

How could he defend against a ball with such a fast speed? "gooooooooooooal!!!"

In the commentary booth, Martin Taylor and Andy Gray were completely crazy!

"Incredible goal, Manchester City's No. 10 kicked a high-quality free kick!"

"According to the computer calculations at the scene, the speed of the ball was as high as 150 kilometers per hour. Oh my God, this is the fastest goal in the Premier League this season!"

"A perfect free kick, an incredible reversal. The Manchester City core scored twice from free kicks and led the team to reverse the game. His performance was worthy of his price!"

"That's right, Lin Quan's performance in this game was undoubtedly phenomenal. When the team was in a slump, he stood up and helped the team turn the game around and win.

Maybe this Manchester City team is not worth our expectations, but Lin Quan is always worthy of the trust of Manchester City fans! ”

“Haha, this ball is so exciting, but for the fans of Cardiff City who are playing at home, maybe they will have a depressing weekend.”

"Just a few minutes ago, no one could have imagined that Manchester City could actually reverse and win in this way. At that time, the goddess of victory seemed to be waving to Cardiff City, but just a few minutes later, everything became different!"

Just as the commentator said, after Lin Quan scored this goal, all the Cardiff City fans at the scene turned into wooden sculptures.

Looking at the Manchester City players who were celebrating wildly on the field, they all seemed to be stunned on the spot, staring at the field in a daze, as if they could not accept such a result at all.

Many fans who were more emotionally fragile even burst into tears.

Compared with their disappointment, frustration and sadness.

Manchester City fans are simply overjoyed!

Ten minutes ago, they all thought that the team might suffer its first defeat of the season.

Unexpectedly, in the last few minutes of the game, Lin Quan put on such a wonderful performance, almost single-handedly defeating the opponent and leading the team to a reversal victory, turning their sorrow into joy and instantly surrounded by happiness!

Not to mention the fans, even Manchester City's players and coaching staff were extremely surprised by this reversal.

After Lin Quan scored the free throw, the players on the field were stunned for a moment, and then rushed towards Lin Quan like crazy.

Even Yaya Toure, who had previously had a problem with Lin Quan, had to applaud Lin Quan's outstanding performance at this time.

Under such heavy pressure, he was able to take a free kick of such a high standard. The opponent's psychological quality is much better than mine!

On the sidelines, players on the bench and even some members of the coaching staff ran into the field, chasing after Lin Quan who scored the goal and celebrating wildly.

The players who were originally dissatisfied and suspicious of Lin Quan, the core of the team who had just arrived in the summer, now completely dispelled their doubts.

To see whether a person can shoulder important responsibilities and serve as the core and leader of the team, we cannot just look at his performance in good times.

Instead, we should look at his performance in adversity! Lin Quan's performance in this game made Manchester City realize that even in adversity, he can stand up and even lead the team to a reversal and victory.

This kind of temperament has won him the recognition of the players.

So for Manchester City, this goal is not just about three league points, but also a key battle that makes the whole team united! …

After the game, Pellegrini chose to bring Lin Quan to attend the press conference.

At the press conference, he praised Lin Quan's performance.

"There is no doubt that Lin is a phenomenal player. He can always score incredible goals on the court. It is a blessing for every coach to be able to coach such an outstanding player, because with him, the team's offense becomes much easier!"

Pellegrini's words were recognized by the head coach of Cardiff City next door. In this game, he made a lot of arrangements and preparations on how to defend Lin Quan.

Although he almost succeeded in restricting the opponent in the positional warfare, he did not expect that the opponent had the option of free kick in its arsenal. He suddenly scored directly from two free kicks, which made all his tactical preparations come to naught.

In response to the praise from the coach and reporters, Lin Quan humbly stated that the victory was the credit of all members and he was just doing what he was supposed to do.

After hearing what Lin Quan said, the reporters did not think he was hypocritical, but instead felt that he was very clear-headed.

There are many strong teams and giants in the Premier League, and Manchester City is not a giant. If they become complacent after winning two games against mid- and lower-level teams, then in the strong confrontations, those strong teams will soon teach them a lesson.

Speaking of strong confrontations, there is a highlight in this round of the Premier League - Manchester United vs. Chelsea at home.

So some reporters asked Pellegrini and Lin Quan questions about this issue and asked for their opinions.

Pellegrini said that both teams are strong teams with comparable strength, and it is normal for anyone to win or lose.

However, due to Ferguson's retirement, Manchester United is still in the running-in period.

Chelsea's team was brought up by Mourinho, so he is more optimistic about Chelsea.

When the reporter asked Lin Quan this question, Lin Quan smiled and said:

"Although Manchester United has changed coaches, they still have the foundation of a top club, and they are playing at home, so..."

“So you think Manchester United is your favorite?”

The reporter couldn't help but ask.

"No, I think they might tie!"

Hearing Lin Quan's answer, the reporters couldn't help but burst into laughter.

If Manchester United and Chelsea really draw, it will obviously be beneficial to other teams aspiring to compete for the Premier League title.

Manchester City happens to be one of them.

Therefore, this result is probably what Manchester City wants most!

"Your former teammate at Werder Bremen, De Bruyne, is now in Chelsea's squad. I heard that he is still a good friend of yours. Don't you support your friend to win?"

The reporter tried to sow discord.

Lin Quan was not fooled:

"I personally still support Kevin very much, and I hope he can have a good game at Old Trafford. I will go to watch the game live, and if I have the chance, I will chat with him!"

Manchester United is Manchester City's arch-rival, so it is impossible for Lin Quan to go to Old Trafford to watch the game to support Manchester United.

So there is only one possibility, he went to cheer for Chelsea, or to cheer for De Bruyne.

Everyone else went to the scene to support De Bruyne, so the reporter's attempt to sow discord naturally failed.

After the game, in addition to praising Lin Quan's amazing performance in the game, the media also reported his words at the press conference.

When De Bruyne heard that he was coming to watch the game to support him, he couldn't help but call him to ask about the truth of the matter.

"Of course it's true. I've already said it, how could I go back on my word?"

Lin Quan gave De Bruyne a positive reply, but he concealed one thing: in addition to himself, Manchester City's coaching staff will also be there to watch the game.

In the fifth round of the league, Manchester City will face Manchester United in the derby.

Before that, they must examine the opponent's game status, especially when facing strong teams, and what tactics they will adopt.

De Bruyne was very satisfied with Lin Quan's answer:

"Then it's a deal, see you at Old Trafford!"

"Okay, see you at Old Trafford!"

The two haven't seen each other for three months since the German Cup final.

De Bruyne originally thought that Lin Quan would stay in the Bundesliga, but he didn't expect him to come to the Premier League.

In this way, the difficulty of the two meeting is greatly reduced, and they can even communicate directly on the field.

However, De Bruyne felt a little scared when he thought of the scene in which Lin Quan broke through him during the team training.

I really don't want to meet this guy on the court! He's so damn hard to defend!

…

On August 26, Lin Quan arrived at Old Trafford as scheduled.

As the second largest stadium in England, Old Trafford is very large, with a total of 76,000 seats.

Every time there is a Premier League or Champions League game, Manchester City fans come from all over the world to gather together to watch the team's game.

Unlike Manchester City, Manchester United's commercial development is very successful and their fan base is spread all over the world.

So in every game, in addition to fans from the UK, there are also a large number of fans coming from other countries to watch the game.

This is rare in Manchester City!

Although Manchester City's players also come from all over the world, except for a few who have a certain appeal and influence, other players basically have no ability to attract fans to travel across the ocean to watch the game at the Etihad Stadium.

As a sworn enemy in the same city, Lin Quan did not want to expose his identity and attract the wrath of the Red Devils fans.

So he chose to cover himself up tightly and even put on a pair of sunglasses and a baseball cap as a disguise.

But after arriving at the stadium, he found that there were quite a few people dressed like this.

"Boss?"

"Negredo?"

"Is it really you?"

"Why are you here too?"

"I came to watch the game, not just me, but Fernandinho, Navas and others came too!

Following the direction Negredo's finger was pointing, Lin Quan saw a guy dressed the same as himself and acting just as sneaky.

More than half of my teammates are here!

What made him even more speechless was that many of these guys chose to wear windbreakers and sunglasses like him.

Good man, do you really have to be so uniform! No, I can't stay with these guys. One person dressed like this is not eye-catching, but a group of people, that's too eye-catching.

He sent Negredo away and didn't dare to talk to him any more.

Taking advantage that the game has not started yet and there are not many fans entering the stadium, he quickly took off his windbreaker.

After thinking for a moment, he took off his hat again.

Except for the fact that he couldn't take off his sunglasses, most of his disguise had been gone.

In this way, he became an ordinary fan with an Asian face, and was different from his teammates!

After doing all this, Lin Quan breathed a sigh of relief. He won’t recognize me now, right?

As a result, he had just found his seat and sat down when he saw himself appear on the big screen at the scene.

Lin Quan's mouth twitched slightly, and he waved stiffly at the camera, wondering: How did he get exposed? (End of this chapter)
