Chapter 242: A textbook goal by a world champion!

Before the game started, the retired former Manchester United star Beckham and his wife Victoria came to the scene to watch this focus battle of the Premier League.

As a member of the Class of 92, even though Beckham had a conflict with Ferguson and left Manchester United, he still has deep feelings for Manchester United.

Although he, like many Red Devils fans, doesn't like Moyes very much.

But he still looks forward to seeing the Red Devils defend their glory at home.

However, the result of the game disappointed him.

How did the Red Devil become like this? "That Lin is so strong!"

Victoria didn't seem to notice the disappointed expression on her husband's face. She couldn't help but exclaim when she saw Lin Quan's heroic performance on the field.

Ever since she learned that Lily Collins' boyfriend was Lin Quan, Victoria has been very interested in Lin Quan and wanted to find out how powerful he is.

Beckham nodded: "Lin is very good, and can even be said to be the best young player of his generation."

"Really, is it that amazing?"

Victoria's eyes lit up. She didn't know much about football, but she believed in her husband's vision.

Before Victoria finished speaking, Lin Quan scored his second goal of the game.

Beckham spread his hands at her, as if to say, 'See, I told you he's awesome! '

“Can he still score goals?”

Victoria suddenly asked a question out of curiosity.

This question really stumped Beckham.

"That shouldn't be possible, right? This is Old Trafford. Few Manchester City players can perform hat tricks here. I don't think Manchester United players will give him such a chance!"

Only real players like them know what the Manchester derby means.

Being able to perform a hat trick in this kind of city derby will greatly undermine the morale of the opponents and make them unable to raise their heads. At the same time, it will also gain the fanatical support of the team's fans and become the hero of the team.

Hearing her husband's weak answer, Victoria smiled slyly and said:

"How about we make a bet? I think he can still score a goal!"

Beckham raised his eyebrows. Although he did not directly agree to make a bet with his wife, he did not refuse, which basically meant he agreed.

An hour later, Beckham was a little dazed when he saw the bright red number 3:0 on the scoreboard and Lin Quan raising his collar at Old Trafford, imitating the domineering celebration of Manchester United king Cantona.

He seemed to have returned to the 14th round of the 1994-1995 Premier League, when Manchester United played against Manchester City at home.

In that game, Manchester United slaughtered Manchester City 5:0 at home. Cantona scored the first goal and Kanchelskis scored a hat trick. After being fouled by the opponent's defender for the whole game, Cantona still stood tall and proud like a king, and received warm cheers and applause from more than 60,000 Red Devils fans.

Time flies, and it’s been almost 20 years in the blink of an eye.

The once popular Manchester City derby is back again, but this time, the king seems to no longer belong to Manchester United, but to Manchester City.

The fans at Old Trafford fell into collective silence when they saw Lin Quan perform a hat trick.

However, when they saw Lin Quan celebrating like the King of Manchester United at Old Trafford, they were all angry!

How dare he!

This is Old Trafford, how dare he celebrate in this way here?

In an instant, huge boos mixed with some insults came from every corner of the stadium and rushed towards Lin Quan on the court.

Lin Quan turned around expressionlessly, looking around with his collar turned up. The boos from the audience sounded like the wails of his opponents to him. Instead of finding them harsh, he found them very pleasant.

Come on, wail louder, let me feel your anger and pain! However, his teammates didn't understand the situation, and they rushed up one by one, threw him to the ground, and celebrated wildly.

Looking at the Manchester City players celebrating wildly at their home stadium, the Manchester United players were all distraught.

Even when they saw Lin Quan's provocative celebration, they did not feel angry.

The real Red Devils players have almost died out long ago. These players on the field are like zombies, just wearing a layer of Red Devils' skin, but they don't have the passion of the Red Devils in their bones.

On the sidelines, Manchester United head coach Moyes seemed to feel a chill. He shrank back into his seat, wrapped in his coat, and looked at the team that was collapsing on the field with lifeless eyes.

What happened to Manchester United? Like many fans, Moyes also wanted to figure this out! In the stands, Manchester United's meritorious coach Ferguson looked at the Manchester United players on the field, then looked at Moyes on the sidelines, and even he couldn't help but sigh.

If before this game he still had concerns about the club's plan to replace Moyes, then after this game, Ferguson could finally be sure that Moyes was not the kind of coach Manchester United needed.

His coaching style and his personal temperament are totally incompatible with Manchester United.

Manchester United can be without the top stars, but they must not lose their passion, never give up, and never admit defeat! Without passion, passion, and indomitable spirit, what is left for Manchester United? Thinking of this, Ferguson sighed. This game is not over yet, but for Manchester United, this entire season has ended ahead of schedule!

…

Manchester United, defeated by Lin Quan's hat-trick, was in a daze for the rest of the game, while Manchester City, who were playing like crazy, had no intention of showing mercy.

In the 82nd minute, David Silva once again broke through Manchester United's goal, making the score 4:0!

At this time, Manchester United fans in the stands had already started to leave early.

They couldn't stand the result of their team losing by a large margin to their arch-rivals at home, and would rather leave the field early than continue to sit here and suffer.

This may be a wise choice as Manchester City's attack has not stopped.

In the 89th minute, Lin Quan broke through and passed the ball to De Bruyne who was following up with his heel, assisting the latter to score another goal.

The score became 5:0!

This was almost a replica of the game 19 years ago, the only difference was that the names of the two teams were reversed and Manchester United became the one being slaughtered.

In injury time, Manchester City almost scored again.

Lin Quan's free kick hit the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line, making Manchester United fans breathe a sigh of relief.

If this goal is scored, Lin Quan will become the first player in the history of Manchester City derby to score four goals.

In the end, at the end of the game, Manchester City slaughtered Manchester United 5:0 away from home thanks to goals from Lin Quan and De Bruyne.

After getting this victory, they not only consolidated their top position, but also used two big wins to strongly declare that they have officially come out of the trough.

Manchester City is still the top favorite to win the league! In another match at the same time, Chelsea defeated Fulham 3:1 away. Chelsea's Schurrle also completed a hat trick to help the team get three points. The gap with Manchester City remains at 8 points.

However, there are only 10 rounds left in the league, and it is difficult for Chelsea to make up the eight-point gap.

However, Mourinho still insisted. When facing the interview with reporters, he said:

"You never know the final result until the last moment. This is the charm of football!"

But compared with his previous confident attitude, the madman's confidence seemed to be shaken.

While Manchester City and Chelsea were competing for the Premier League title, in a corner where no one noticed, Wenger's Arsenal had begun to collapse and had quietly slipped to fourth place in the league without anyone noticing.

In the last four games, Arsenal only won one game, lost two and drew one.

They were first slaughtered 5:1 by Liverpool at Anfield, and then tied by Manchester United at home. They finally defeated Sunderland 4:1 at home to slightly recover from the decline, but in this round they failed again on the road and lost 0:1 to Stoke City, which had just been swept by Manchester City.

It's only March and Arsenal have already dropped to fourth place and have to start a battle to maintain their top four position.

Wenger's team is still a familiar formula, a familiar taste! ...

After the league ends, FIFA's match day arrives. After the World Cup qualifiers, the national team does not have many game tasks left.

Lin Quan has not been called up to the national team for about four or five months.

He thought this time would be the same as before, but unexpectedly Bosque called him.

The Spanish national team will have an important friendly match in a few days to test the team's condition and strength before the World Cup begins.

This time, Bosque did not show leniency to the players, but instead recruited almost all the main players.

This is not good news for the national team players who play for major clubs and have to play in leagues, cup competitions and the Champions League.

However, in order to be able to participate in the World Cup, no one will refuse the call of the national team, no matter how hard or tiring it is.

Lin Quan arrived at the Las Rozas base in the afternoon of March 3. Compared with those national team players playing for La Liga, the players playing in other leagues reported much later.

When they arrived at the training base to report, many people had already arrived and started training.

It was completely different from the first time he came to the Las Rozas base. This time, as soon as Lin Quan arrived outside the base, a large number of fans surrounded him and several teammates who arrived with him.

"Lin, you have too many fans!"

David Silva, Navas and others also enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by fans, but what broke their hearts was that all those present were Lin Quan's fans. Occasionally, they could see a few fans holding up signs with their names on them, but they were all squeezed out by the fanatical Lin Quan fans.

"A lot?"

Lin Quan couldn't help but think of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, wondering how he compares to these two. Lin Quan has always been friendly to his fans.

Feeling the enthusiasm of the fans, he smiled and waved to them.

Unexpectedly, this action seemed to ignite a powder keg, completely igniting the atmosphere on the scene.

"Ahhh, Lin smiled at me. He really has me in his heart!"

"Go away, vixen! Lin is clearly waving at me!"

"Lin, I love you, I want to give birth to a baby for you!"

The female fans at the scene rushed towards Lin Quan frantically, scaring Lin Quan and several of his teammates into fleeing.

If he falls into their encirclement, the consequences will be disastrous! "Lin, your fans are too scary. I won't dare to come with you next time!"

David Silva was still terrified. It was the first time he felt how terrifying women were! Garcia, Navas and others nodded, but Negredo was still a little unsatisfied: "Why does Lin have so many female fans, but our fans are all a bunch of rough men?"

The people who asked this question fell silent for a while. Yes, why?

…

Bosque was relieved to see that everyone had arrived safely.

There are only three months left until the World Cup. At this time, the players, especially the main players, must not get injured.

If they get injured, they will most likely miss this year's World Cup.

This World Cup is very important for Spain. Bosque hopes to win the World Cup championship with the strongest lineup.

As the defending champions, as long as they can win the World Cup again in this time, they will become the first team to successfully defend the title in the World Cup in nearly fifty years.

And Spain, which created such a miracle, will undoubtedly create their own dynasty.

Faced with this historic opportunity, no one can remain indifferent.

Bosque is naturally ambitious and he hopes to carve his name in Spanish history.

However, it will be very difficult to win the championship this year.

"You all know the World Cup draw, right?"

Before the start of the next day's training, Bosque gathered everyone together and asked them with a serious expression.

Hearing Bosque's words, everyone nodded.

The World Cup draw ceremony took place on December 7 last year.

Spain had bad luck as they were placed in Group B, which included last year's runner-up the Netherlands, South American powerhouse Chile and Australia from Asia.

Among these three opponents, except for Australia which is a easy target to score points, the other two teams are not easy to play against, especially the Netherlands.

Because there are so many strong teams in Europe, strong teams like Britain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and others have been placed in the fourth tier.

On the contrary, the teams in the third tier are weak teams such as Australia, Iran, Japan and South Korea.

This means that when the groups are drawn, if one is not careful, the number one seed may face a top team from Europe.

If the second seed is a little stronger, a death group will easily occur.

Unfortunately, Spain is the unlucky one and they were drawn into Group B, one of the two death groups in this World Cup.

Another unlucky guy is their warm-up match opponent - Italy.

The previous World Cup champion Italy was drawn into Group D, which also includes strong teams such as Uruguay, Britain and Costa Rica.

It is even more difficult for them to qualify than Spain! Considering that the American team is playing at home, the two strong teams from Europe may not even make it through the group stage.

So, before the World Cup started, the two teams, which were full of a sense of crisis, arranged a friendly match to test their respective conditions.

Even if they lose, as long as they can expose their team's weaknesses in advance, they think it's worth it!

Against this background, the warm-up match on March 6 received great attention in both Spain and Italy.

The Italians see this match as a battle of revenge.

They haven't won against Spain in six years.

In two consecutive European Cups in 2008 and 2012, Italy faced Spain. They played three games against Spain and only scored one goal. They were beaten 4:0 in the final and watched their opponents win two European Cup titles.

In last year's Confederations Cup, they faced Spain in the semi-finals and were defeated 3:1 by the opponent. They watched the opponent win another championship trophy and achieved a Grand Slam at the national team level.

Italy's consecutive defeats against Spain gradually made them develop a kind of Westphobia.

Not only is it difficult for the Italian team to beat Spain now, it has even become extremely difficult to score against the opponent.

If they can win this warm-up match, they will be able to break their embarrassing history of not winning against Spain.

As for Spain, it has been a long time since the team gathered so many main players to play a good game.

Italy is also a formidable opponent, and they hope to use the opponent as a stepping stone to boost morale.

Therefore, both teams sent out all their main players without reservation! At 19:30 on the evening of March 6, Spain's home game against Italy was held at the Calderon Stadium in Madrid.

Italy played very proactively today. Balotelli, who had a cool hairstyle, was very active after the opening.

In the 4th minute, Torino winger Cerci broke into the penalty area from the right and chose to lob the ball into the goal from a small angle.

The kick was very threatening. The ball bypassed Casillas's fingers, hit the inside of the far post and bounced into the penalty area.

Balotelli pushed aside the defender and tried to make a follow-up shot, but was blocked by Ramos in advance.

After being disrupted, Balotelli was very unhappy and had an argument with Ramos.

Both of them had bad tempers and started to butt heads, refusing to give in to the other.

Fortunately, the referee stopped them in time and did not allow the situation to escalate further.

This guy Balotelli is world-class from the brain down.

The only thing is that my brain doesn’t work very well!

After he had an argument with Ramos, he was like a stubborn person, insisting on pestering Ramos, as if he wanted to prove himself by eating the other person alive.

However, Ramos was not made of paper, so how could he give him such an opportunity? With his experience and the help of his teammates, he resolved Balotelli's threats again and again, making Balotelli unable to succeed.

On the contrary, after Balotelli's fulcrum thinking went wrong, Italy's attack began to lose its threat. After completing the first three moves, the situation on the field quickly fell into Spain's control!

Starting from the 10th minute, Spanish players completed continuous passes on the field. In just three minutes, they completed a total of 67 passes.

During this period, the Italian players didn't even touch the football.

The football passed from Spain's backcourt to the midfield, then to the frontcourt, and finally was almost passed by Lin Quan into the goal guarded by Buffon.

The world champion Spanish team scored a textbook goal in a jaw-dropping way! (End of this chapter)
