Chapter 272: S-shaped free kick reappears, 18 goals in a single Champions League season!

"Manchester City steals the ball, Fernandinho's long pass!"

"Lin, he got the ball!"

"Oops, Lin was pulled down. It was a foul by Xabi Alonso. The referee showed the latter a yellow card."

In the commentary booth of CCTV, when they saw Lin Quan being pulled down by Real Madrid players, He Wei and Xu Yang could not help but sigh.

"If Lin Quan had gotten the ball, it would have been another goal, but Real Madrid obviously didn't give him the chance."

"Yes, Xabi Alonso was not the last defensive player, but he still used a tactical foul directly, which shows the decisiveness of Real Madrid!"

If Xabi Alonso was the last defender when he committed the foul, it would not be a yellow card but a red card.

Xabi Alonso reached out and pulled Lin Quan up, and apologized to him sincerely: "Sorry, Lin!"

Lin Quan nodded and said nothing.

Everyone serves their own team. Xabi Alonso has shown the qualities of a professional player and there is nothing to blame him for.

Moreover, compared with the foul of kicking, pulling someone will cause much less harm to the player, at least it will not easily hurt anyone.

Of course, precisely because the opponent attacked directly, Lin Quan had no way to avoid it this time and had no way to dodge the opponent's foul.

Obviously, Real Madrid had taken precautions against Manchester City's counterattack. Not only did central defender Pepe move back to defend, but even Xabi Alonso stayed near the midline, ready to provide support at any time.

Lin Quan held the football and placed it at the place where Xabi Alonso committed the foul.

This place is about 42 meters away from the goal, which is a very long distance.

At this distance, most free kicks are useless, but that one might work! "Lin, why don't you let me take the kick? I have a hard foot and great strength!"

Yaya Toure saw the distance and took the initiative to step forward and speak to Lin Quan.

There was not much time left until the end of regular time, and this free kick was crucial for Manchester City. If they failed, they would most likely be eliminated by Real Madrid.

"No need, go to the penalty area and compete for the header!"

Lin Quan shook his head and rejected Yaya Toure's kindness.

He was not sure whether his kick would be successful. If not, he could let Yaya Toure and other tall players compete for the header in the penalty area, and maybe there would be a chance.

Yaya Toure nodded, and rushed towards Real Madrid's penalty area with Kompany and other central defenders, ready to compete for a header.

In this attack, Manchester City mobilized almost all its troops. Except for the goalkeeper, all other players crossed the half-court, and most of them rushed into Real Madrid's penalty area.

Real Madrid was on high alert and they deployed a large number of players to guard Manchester City's high points one-on-one.

The free kick was too far away, so they judged that Lin Quan was unlikely to shoot directly, and would most likely go into the penalty area and head the ball into the goal.

The game is about to end, and Real Madrid does not want to let a simple set-piece tactic of the opponent ruin all their efforts.

Ronaldo and Bale stood about ten meters away from Lin Quan, covering their crotches with their hands, looking at Lin Quan not far away with serious faces.

Sometimes, even Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't help but admire this guy.

Obviously the team was behind in the score and was about to be eliminated, but there didn't seem to be any nervousness or frustration on this guy's face. Instead, he looked calm and relaxed.

I don’t know why, but when he saw the other party’s calm attitude, Ronaldo suddenly felt a little unsure.

He looked back at the players from both teams crowded in the Real Madrid penalty area, and couldn't help but have an absurd thought in his mind:

This guy, is he going to just knock on the door?

C Luo shook his head and got rid of this absurd idea.

At this distance, unless one is a top free kick master like Juninho, ordinary people have no chance of threatening the goal.

Lin Quan positioned the football, stepped behind the ball, then stepped back, and stopped after taking six or seven steps.

Boos rang out again at the Bernabeu Stadium. Real Madrid fans were as nervous as Manchester City fans at this moment.

If this goal is scored, both teams will be back to the same starting line, with the same total score and the same number of away goals.

If they fail to score another goal in injury time, they will be dragged into overtime.

If the two sides still cannot determine the winner after overtime, the game will enter the most brutal penalty shootout.

This is the Bernabeu, Real Madrid's home ground. Once the game is dragged into injury time, Manchester City's goal will count as two. If they concede one more goal, they will have to chase two goals.

Such a result would be too unfavorable for Real Madrid, so this ball must be defended at all costs!

Real Madrid fans couldn't help but pray in their hearts, praying that the ball would not go in.

Manchester City fans were also praying, but they were praying that the ball would go in.

At this moment, whether it was Real Madrid fans, Manchester City fans, or neutral fans, their eyes were all focused on Lin Quan.

His kick will determine the fate of the two teams.

Lin Quan took a deep breath, looked at the goal, and started his run.

One step, two steps, three steps...

The distance of several meters was reached in an instant. Lin Quan leaned back, concentrated his strength on his right leg, and swung the football hard.

Bang! With a loud bang, the football jumped high into the air like a cannonball.

Both Ronaldo and Bale jumped hard, but neither of them could touch the ball.

The football flew over the human wall, into the penalty area, and headed straight for the goal.

The ball had a very obvious arc. Casillas judged that the football would go to the right side of the goal, so he subconsciously moved a few steps to the right.

However, when he completed the move, the football suddenly turned.

this……

Casillas opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

Juninho's S-shaped free kick?! Lyon is Real Madrid's nemesis, and Casillas has played against Juninho in the Champions League many times.

So after seeing this ball, Casillas immediately recognized that this was Juninho's famous skill.

He reacted extremely quickly, twisting his body forcefully while moving and lunging in the opposite direction of the movement.

This is the limit of what Casillas can do!

However, the ball fell into the net two or three meters away from him.

Casillas didn't have any chance to touch the ball!

There was deathly silence at the Bernabeu Stadium as Real Madrid fans looked at the ball falling into the net in disbelief.

The ball actually went in!

They couldn't help rubbing their eyes, as if this result was just an illusion.

However, no matter how they rubbed their eyes, they could not change the result. The football was indeed lying in Real Madrid's goal.

The first to react were the Manchester City players. When they saw the referee signal that the goal was valid, they rushed towards Lin Quan like crazy!

"Lin, you did a great job!"

"Haha, is this considered a lore victory over Real Madrid?"

"Great, we tied the score!"

The players were talking to each other, each of them was so excited that they could hardly control themselves.

They all thought they were going to be eliminated, but they didn't expect that Lin Quan's free kick saved them from the abyss.

On the Internet, in the commentary booths, the fans and commentators were even more excited than the Manchester City players! "Oh my god, Lin Huang's S-shaped free kick!"

"Too strong, scoring twice at the Bernabeu!"

"Is this Lin Huang's number of Champions League goals this season?"

"This is his 18th goal in a single season. There has never been anyone like him before and there will never be anyone like him again!"

"C Ronaldo finally scored a goal with a penalty kick, but now he is two goals behind!"

"C Ronaldo fainted in the toilet!"

…

On the field, Ronaldo stood in the distance with his hands on his hips, looking at Lin Quan who was surrounded by Manchester City players.

He subconsciously glanced at the scoreboard. It was 3:2, and Real Madrid was still leading by one goal.

But after Lin Quan scored this goal, the total score and away goals of both sides were tied.

All of Real Madrid's advantages disappeared in an instant.

And the ball that he had tried so hard to catch up with seemed a little ridiculous.

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

Is this guy really unbeatable?

At this moment, Ronaldo forgot about Messi and put Lin Quan's threat first.

Benzema was also shocked by Lin Quan's goal, but the difference was that he only had admiration in his heart! As expected of the person he learned from, Lin Quan was still so strong!

After the celebration, captain Kompany stood up and gave a reminder.

"We can't be careless, the game isn't over yet, we still need to defend in the last few minutes and can't let Real Madrid kill us."

They are well aware of Real Madrid's offensive capabilities. Once they relax and give the opponent a chance, they are very likely to be punished by Real Madrid.

Therefore, they need to grit their teeth and persevere for the rest of the time! After Manchester City finished celebrating, the regular time was over and the referee gave 5 minutes of injury time.

This made Manchester City fans very dissatisfied, and they believed that the extra time given by the referee was too long.

Now it's Real Madrid's turn to launch a full-scale counterattack. They certainly don't want to be dragged into dangerous overtime or even a penalty shootout by Manchester City.

Therefore, during these five minutes, they will definitely attack with all their strength.

For Manchester City, the final period will be very difficult.

This is indeed the case. Real Madrid launched a violent attack on Manchester City after the kick-off.

C Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale, Di Maria and others took turns to charge towards Manchester City's goal.

The Manchester City players were suppressed in a very small area in front of their own penalty area and could not get out at all.

This resulted in the ball quickly falling into the hands of Real Madrid players even if they cleared it, leading to a new round of attack.

The fans of Real Madrid had completely forgotten their identities as "successful people" at this time. Just like those people at the bottom of society whom they looked down upon, they shouted and yelled without caring about their image, cheering for the team at the top of their lungs, making the players of Real Madrid launch continuous attacks as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Real Madrid went completely crazy in the final period, and Manchester City's defense was like a shaky, dilapidated house that seemed like it would collapse with just a slight push.

However, it was this dilapidated house that stood tenaciously and blocked Real Madrid's attacks time and time again.

In the fourth minute of injury time, Di Maria fell again in the penalty area.

Real Madrid players immediately surrounded the referee, wanting to ask for a penalty.

However, this time, the referee withstood the pressure and did not award a penalty.

"Get up, you actor!"

When Demichelis saw that Di Maria was actually trying to get a penalty, he became furious and ran over to argue with him.

Di Maria's eyes rolled and he thought of something.

He stood up, glanced at the referee's position, and pushed Demichelis: "You committed a foul and you still have the nerve to blame me, it was a penalty!"

"Shut up actor, I didn't even touch you!"

Demichelis was already angry, and when the other party attacked first, he subconsciously pushed the other party.

However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he touched Di Maria, Di Maria immediately fell into Manchester City's penalty area with his face covered, rolling and screaming.

The referee saw that the two seemed to have had an argument and was walking in this direction, and then saw Demichelis "roughly" pushing Di Maria to the ground.

So without thinking, he immediately gave Demichelis a yellow card.

Demichelis already had a yellow card, and after receiving this yellow card, two yellow cards turned into a red card, and he was sent off! This result was beyond the expectations of Manchester City. The nearby Manchester City players immediately surrounded him and complained to the referee, telling the referee that Di Maria was the first to hit Demichelis, and this should not be a yellow card.

After hearing the Manchester City player's complaint, the referee communicated with the linesman using a headset. After confirming that what the Manchester City player said was true, he also showed Di Maria a yellow card.

Di Maria clasped his hands together, looking like a good boy who had admitted his mistake obediently, but from the smile that appeared on the corner of his mouth, it could be seen that he was actually quite proud of himself.

Di Maria came on in the second half and had no yellow card, so it didn't matter that he got one.

Using a yellow card to get one of the opponent's main defenders off the field is definitely worth it!

"Di Maria is a little too treacherous!"

"It's a pity that he didn't go to Barcelona!"

"Hehe, La Masia Film and Television Academy?"

"Demichelis was a little bit uncalm, and actually fell for it!"

"He must have been brooding over the penalty kick and is probably holding his breath!"

"Manchester City are in trouble now, they are about to go into overtime and they are one man short."

On the Internet, fans were discussing this red card.

The referee gave both teams a 50-yard penalty, which seemed fair, but the result was that Manchester City had one player sent off. In fact, this penalty was extremely favorable to Real Madrid.

In order to keep the defense intact, Pellegrini had to replace an offensive player.

He brought on a defender, replacing Aguero.

Obviously, this substitution will greatly weaken Manchester City's offensive ability, making it more difficult for them to threaten Real Madrid's goal.

But Manchester City had no choice but to do so.

The injury time ended quickly and the score did not change.

The overtime break was only five minutes and the players could not go to the locker room, so the players from both sides quickly came to the sidelines, sat on the grass and listened to the tactical arrangements of their respective head coaches.

There is no need to explain Real Madrid's tactics, just attack!

In addition to arranging the attack, Ancelotti also specially prepared some measures to guard against Manchester City's counterattack.

"The only threat to Manchester City right now is Lin Quan. Keep a close eye on him and kick that damn football into the opponent's goal. Victory in this game will be ours!"

After quickly explaining the tactical arrangements and celebrating, Ancelotti clenched his fists and spoke to the players.

The other side only has ten players left, and this is Real Madrid's home court. If they still can't defeat their opponent and are dragged into a penalty shootout, then they should all buy a piece of tofu and die! On the Manchester City side, Pellegrini said:

“Real Madrid must have thought we would defend, but we only needed one goal to reach the final!

Lin, after the overtime starts, I need you to be in the forward position. You don't have to worry about the defense. Your task is to seize any opportunity and kick the ball into the opponent's damn goal!"

Lin Quan nodded heavily. As long as his teammates could pass the ball to him, he would risk his life to score the goal!

"Everyone else defend with all your might. As long as the defense is successful, no matter what method you use, give the ball to Lin and let him attack!"
