Chapter 271: Flipping and Penalty

All of a sudden, Guardiola stood up and looked at the court with a nervous expression.

The Spanish national team coach Bosque, who came to watch the game, shared the same feeling.

There are less than two months until the opening of the World Cup. If Lin Quan, as the absolute core of Spain, is injured, how can Spain play? Pellegrini, the coach of Manchester City, has the same feeling.

Lin Quan is also the core of Manchester City. If he leaves the field due to injury, Manchester City’s front offensive system will collapse directly, and they will never have a chance to reverse the game.

“You really work hard!”

In the Real Madrid coaching booth, Ancelotti was deeply moved when he saw Lin Quan being tackled and the football rolling into the Real Madrid goal.

He hasn't seen a player who works as hard as Lin Quan on the court for a long time!

The Real Madrid fans who had booed Lin Quan all the way finally shut up at this moment.

Although they were opponents, they were moved by the opponent's fighting spirit and could no longer boo Lin Quan.

"Ah, this guy is handsome, capable, has good character, and works so hard. It's a pity that he didn't come to our Real Madrid!"

"Yes, if it was Lin who transferred to Real Madrid last year, we would have been able to compete in the Champions League in the next ten years, not to mention this year's!"

In the Manchester City penalty area, Di Maria howled for a long time after diving. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he stood up as if nothing had happened, and then saw the scene where his captain tackled Lin Quan.

Although they were separated by almost an entire stadium, Di Maria's heart still tightened when he saw that extremely impactful scene.

If I were tackled, I would feel like my legs would be broken!

On the field, Manchester City players rushed towards Lin Quan, concerned about his injury.

Manchester City's team doctor quickly came on the field to check Lin Quan's injury.

Lin Quan clenched his teeth and sweat broke out on his forehead due to the pain.

Casillas kicked the ball and hit his face bone. He felt like he was going to faint from the pain.

Fortunately, his talent of immunity to injuries prevented him from getting hurt, leaving him with only severe pain, otherwise the consequences would not be so simple!

Manchester City's team doctors originally thought that Lin Quan was seriously injured, but after checking him, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Quan's injuries were much milder than they had imagined.

Thinking about the fact that Lin Quan had encountered the same situation in other competitions before, they could only explain it as his extraordinary talent and could not find any other reasons.

Just like some people are born with glass skins while some people rarely get hurt, this kind of thing is related to physical constitution!

Although they made such a judgment, they still did not dare to be careless. They planned to carry Lin Quan away on a stretcher and carry out swelling and pain relief treatment and further observation on the sidelines.

On the sidelines, Pellegrini called Negredo and prepared to let him replace Lin Quan.

However, at this moment, he saw Lin Quan limping to his feet and refusing the team doctor's suggestion to rest on the sidelines.

He gestured to Pellegrini, indicating that he could still continue the game.

Pellegrini was stunned for a moment, glanced at the numbers on the scoreboard, nodded to Lin Quan, and gestured that if he couldn't hold on any longer, he should apply for a substitution immediately.

Manchester City fans who came to the away game saw Lin Quan stand up and choose to continue fighting.

They stood up together and gave Lin Quan a warm round of applause.

"Lin, you don't have to fight so hard. It doesn't matter if you lose..."

"Yes, Lin, taking care of your health is the most important thing!"

"Wow, I'm so touched. How can Manchester City have such dedicated players?"

"This is not a question of dedication to the job. If Lin Quan continues to play like this, he will definitely become the spiritual totem of Manchester City!"

Seeing Lin Quan limping towards the center circle to kick off, Real Madrid fans also burst into sporadic applause.

Although Lin Quan's goal made them smell danger, they still admired the opponent's tenacious fighting spirit and fighting spirit.

"Lin, are you really okay with your injuries?"

When passing by Real Madrid's half, Xabi Alonso asked with concern.

Although the two are opponents in this game, they are teammates in the national team.

Xabi Alonso is worried that Lin Quan's insistence on playing despite his injury will worsen his injury, which will affect his participation in the World Cup.

"It's okay, it's just a minor injury. It will be fine after a while!"

Xabi Alonso took a look and saw that there was no obvious sign of injury from the outside. I hope he is fine as he said! Lin Quan's goal made the score 2:1 and the total score was tied at 4:4. This score still has some advantages for Real Madrid because they have one more away goal than Manchester City.

If this score remains until the end of the game, Real Madrid will still advance.

However, this is the Bernabeu, how can Real Madrid curl up three points? There is no such reason! So, after the restart, Real Madrid launched a fierce attack on Manchester City again.

Although Di Maria loves to dive, his ability is still outstanding.

With Modric frozen out, Real Madrid relied on the two full-backs to assist and attack both flanks.

At this time, Di Maria will frequently cooperate with the players on the wing, which can not only provide them with firepower support, but also pull away the defensive players in the middle and create conditions for his teammates to attack from behind.

In the 81st minute of the game, Di Maria broke through and entered the penalty area, but his shot was saved by Joe Hart.

Two minutes later, in almost the same position, the Argentine did it again, but this time he chose to pass the ball to his teammate.

Both Ronaldo and Benzema are reaching for the ball, and relatively speaking, Benzema is in a better position.

But Di Maria chose to pass the ball to Ronaldo, who was the boss of the team? Ronaldo was a little anxious and shot the ball into the stands, making Di Maria roll his eyes.

If I had known this, I might as well pass it to Benzema! Benzema put down his hand that wanted the ball and shook his head helplessly.

If you don't take the initiative to fight for your status in the team, you will never get ahead, unless you can outlast all the big guys.

But he is only two years younger than Ronaldo and even two years older than Bale. It is probably not feasible for him to rely on being a daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law.

Forget it, with my level, I'd better just be a supporting role. If I want to be the boss, I guess I can only go to a mid-level team.

It is better to stay in Real Madrid than to go to a mid-table team. After all, it is easier to get results in Real Madrid. As long as there are no major changes in the team's lineup in the next few years, they can impact the Champions League many times! Seeing Di Maria so active, Yaya Toure began to increase his defense against him.

But the Argentine was as slippery as a loach, and he was only substituted in the second half, so his physical condition was better than that of Yaya Toure.

So he didn't get entangled with Yaya Toure. He always passed the ball with one foot or received the ball while running and then quickly passed it on.

This style of play that involves constant running and changing positions makes Yaya Toure's defense very difficult.

If this was the first half, he would definitely be able to lock down Di Maria, but it was already over 80 minutes and it was almost the end of the game.

After running the entire game, Yaya Toure is really exhausted!

Di Maria observed this very keenly. In the 87th minute, he pretended to run back, tricked Yaya Toure into following him, then suddenly accelerated, shook off Yaya Toure and turned back.

At the same time, the ball was passed to him by his teammate.

Yaya Toure was a step slower and failed to catch up with Di Maria, and was taken advantage of by the opponent and entered the penalty area.

Demichelis rushed over and tried to intercept Di Maria, but was dribbled past by Di Maria.

Di Maria's kick was a little too big, and the ball was a little out of his control. Just when he thought he had messed up, he felt someone pulling him from behind, and he immediately fell to the ground with a scream.

Beep! The whistle blew and the referee pointed to the penalty spot.

Demichelis felt very wronged. He just touched Di Maria with his hand when he turned around, and the opponent fell down exaggeratedly as if he was hit by a sledgehammer.

This is a dive! The referee couldn't see clearly, and Di Maria was screaming miserably, so he ignored Demichelis's appeal and insisted on his own penalty.

Ronaldo didn't care about that. He went to the penalty spot with the football and prepared to take the penalty kick.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

He is the first penalty taker in Real Madrid. Although this ball was created by Di Maria, Di Maria was not qualified to take the penalty.

Di Maria was pulled up by his teammates and retreated outside the penalty area. He looked at Ronaldo with some indignation.

This is a penalty I created, why can't I take it?

I haven't scored a goal in this game!

Ronaldo didn't care about all that. He didn't score any goals and urgently needed a penalty to score.

Besides, what does it have to do with you, Lin Quan and I competing for the Champions League Golden Boot? How many goals have you scored?

Ronaldo was originally one goal behind Lin Quan, and in this game Lin Quan scored again, and the gap between the two widened to 2 goals.

There are only a few games left in the Champions League. If we cannot narrow the gap as much as possible in this game, it will be difficult to catch up with Lin Quan in the final.

Since ancient times, there has been no name in the final. Under the temptation of the championship trophy, the final will be played more conservatively and the score will not be too exaggerated. A game like the Istanbul Miracle where 6 goals were scored in a final can be said to be rare in the history of the Champions League in decades.

If Ronaldo scored this goal, the gap between the two would be narrowed to 1 goal.

In this way, if I can score one more goal in the final, I will be able to catch up with Lin Quan.

As for overtaking Lin Quan, it seems difficult at the moment and the hope is slim! Joe Hart jumped around in front of the goal, trying to interfere with Ronaldo and put psychological pressure on the opponent.

But Ronaldo also has a big heart, and his success rate in penalty kicks is very high.

So, in the game between the two, the naive Joe Hart was deceived. After seeing Ronaldo's steps, he judged that the opponent was going to hit the upper left corner, but after saving the ball, he found that the opponent hit the middle.

If he didn't save the ball, he could have blocked it by just standing there and doing nothing.

I can only say that Ronaldo is very skilled and daring! After scoring this goal, Ronaldo ran to the sidelines, jumped high, and made his signature celebration move.

In the last game at the Etihad Stadium, he was booed by Manchester City fans for celebrating like this.

But this time, at the Bernabeu, he received warm applause and cheers from more than 80,000 spectators.

Yeah, that’s the feeling!

This feeling of being the center of attention, the focus of the audience, and everyone cheering for me!

C Ronaldo enjoys this feeling!

Real Madrid players rushed towards Ronaldo and hugged him excitedly.

Ronaldo's goal changed the score to 3:1. With only a few minutes left in the game, Real Madrid could be said to have one foot into the final.

Manchester City players were a little frustrated. Losing the ball at this time was a heavy blow to morale.

Everyone's physical strength had declined severely, and they were just holding on with one breath at this time. However, Real Madrid's goal was like a needle piercing a balloon, which made them lose their breath.

"It doesn't matter, just one goal will do!"

Lin Quan fished the ball out of the goal, walked over, and said to his teammates, "

"Even if they didn't score, we still needed to score at least one goal, and now that they have scored, we still only need one goal!"

When Manchester City players heard Lin Quan's words, their eyes lit up.

yes!

If they score one more goal, their away goals will be tied with Real Madrid.

Then we can play overtime!

Before Real Madrid scored this goal, if Manchester City had scored one more goal, they would have advanced to the final with the advantage of goal difference.

After Real Madrid scored this goal, if Manchester City scored again, they could only equalize the gap between the two teams, and the two sides would have to play overtime or even a penalty shootout!

Thinking of this, the Manchester City players immediately regained their morale and rekindled their fighting spirit! There is nothing to be afraid of Real Madrid, let's fight them!

The game started again, and the Real Madrid players were still immersed in joy, but suddenly they found that the Manchester City players on the opposite side had red eyes and rushed towards them like angry bulls!

Although Pellegrini's substitution adjustment was criticized by Guardiola, replacing Kroos made Manchester City lose the core of the organization in the defensive midfielder position and there was no one to pass threatening balls.

Although De Bruyne has good passing ability, his position is too forward and he is easily restricted.

This is also the reason why Manchester City's offense lacked threat in the second half and could only rely on Lin Quan's personal strength to create opportunities.

But the addition of Fernandinho has made Manchester City's midfield stronger.

After he adapted to the rhythm of the game, he and Yaya Toure formed two iron gates in defense, almost blocking all attacks launched by Real Madrid from the middle.

In the 89th minute of the game, seeing that Angel Wings was too sticky to the ball, Fernandinho decisively stepped forward and with the cooperation of his teammates, snatched the ball back from Di Maria's feet.

The nearby Real Madrid players immediately pressed him, trying to regain the ball and prevent Manchester City's counterattack.

Fernandinho only had time to glance in the direction of Lin Quan, and then kicked the ball forward with all his strength! Go, Lin!

This ball is very similar to the long pass tactics that Manchester City used against Barcelona before, both of which involved kicking the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt to find their own forward.

Real Madrid obviously watched that game, so they were shocked to see Manchester City use this tactic.

If Lin Quan receives the ball, the defense will be in danger! He must not be given the chance to receive the ball! This is the consensus of almost all the players in the Real Madrid backfield at this moment!
