Chapter 280 A fatal blow at the Stadium of Light, Manchester City 10 Atletico Madrid!

Pellegrini took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to call Zabaleta over and gave him some instructions.

Zabaleta nodded repeatedly, and then Simeone found that Manchester City's offensive tactics began to change.

After their two defensive midfielders grab the ball, if there is no particularly good opportunity to pass the ball, they will not choose to pass the ball directly to the frontcourt players, but will give the ball to the two full-backs and let them handle the ball.

This choice gave Manchester City better offensive opportunities. It was difficult for Atletico Madrid's players to press the two full-backs in the first place, leaving them with more space to handle the ball.

After getting the ball, whether Manchester City's full-back dribbles forward to assist, or passes the ball to the front court through a one-two with the defensive midfielder, it is safer than the defensive midfielder passing the ball directly.

Affected by this, after Pellegrini made such adjustments, Manchester City's offensive threat began to increase.

In the 52nd minute, Fernandinho intercepted the ball and passed it to Zabaleta. Zabaleta ran a few steps with the ball and passed the ball to Fernandinho before the opponent's players pressed.

Fernandinho passed the ball to Lin Quan again, who attracted the opponent's pressure and passed the ball to Aguero.

The football made a Z-shape on the right side of Manchester City and finally landed at the feet of the striker.

These passes were made very quickly. Even though Atletico Madrid's players had increased their speed to the extreme, they still couldn't keep up with the speed of the ball.

At this time, after Aguero received the ball, Atletico Madrid defender Godin was the only one left by his side.

On his right, Lin Quan was running towards Atletico's penalty area after completing the pass, and David Silva on the left was doing the same thing.

Atletico's defenders were also retreating quickly. The two sides were in a life-and-death race! "Danger, Manchester City's attack from the wing was very fast, and Atletico's defense was under great threat!"

In the commentary booth, commentators from various countries subconsciously raised their voices.

Manchester City's attack seemed unremarkable when it was first launched, but once it reached the frontcourt, it immediately showed a strong threat.

There was a three-on-three situation in the frontcourt. Because of the high-pressure defense, most of Atletico's players were unable to rush back to defend in the first time.

Although Manchester City does not have an advantage in numbers, the individual strength of their three players is very outstanding.

The smaller the number of people, the weaker the tactics, and the more important personal strength becomes.

So, seeing Manchester City's attack, Simeone's heart was pounding, and he had a bad feeling! Atletico Madrid defender Godin bumped into Aguero in a hidden way while defending, trying to push him away and snatch the ball from his feet.

He was the last defensive player, so he didn't dare to use obvious fouls to disrupt Manchester City's attack. If he really did that, he would at least get a yellow card, or even a red card and be sent off.

Aguero stumbled and passed the ball to Lin Quan before losing control of the ball.

As soon as Lin Quan received the ball, he felt someone rushing towards him from the side and behind.

Without looking back, he could guess that this must be Atletico Madrid's full-back Philip.

Lin Quan did not give the opponent a chance to collide with him. He quickly dribbled the ball inside and headed towards Atletico's penalty area.

Philippe had to follow and move towards the middle. When Godin saw Aguero pass the ball, he immediately gave up on him and handed him to another defender Miranda. He rushed towards Lin Quan, intending to double-team him together with Philippe.

In a three-on-three situation, the defending side is certainly very passive, but it is not completely helpless.

After all, there is only one football. As long as the player with the ball can be disturbed and forced to make a choice, the defending team can free up their hands and double-team the person he is passing the ball to.

Especially in this situation where the player has the ball in the middle, once he passes the ball, the options for the wide players who receive the ball are much fewer.

Either shoot directly or pass the ball to the middle. Of course, passing it from one wing to another is also possible, but this kind of pass consumes longer time and the defense has enough time to get into position.

Moreover, Atletico Madrid's players are retreating on all fronts. If the three Manchester City front players cannot complete the attack quickly, the threat of their quick attack will decrease by one point for every second of delay.

In a few seconds, it will turn into a positional battle. With Atletico Madrid's defensive ability, if it really reaches the stage of a positional battle, then they will have nothing to worry about.

So, after forcing Aguero to pass the ball, the situation developed in a direction favorable to Atletico.

As long as Godin and Philip can stop Lin Quan, even if they can't steal the ball from him immediately, as long as they can delay him a little and buy time for their teammates, they can basically resolve this round of counterattack by Manchester City.

The pressure was on Lin. If he was blocked, Manchester City's attack would fail. Atletico, who were on guard, would not give them such an opportunity again.

The game might end up in the same stalemate as before! But if he could break through and succeed in this attack, the situation of the game would probably change completely.

At this moment, almost everyone in Guangming Stadium looked at Lin Quan.

Everyone is waiting for him to make a choice!

In the stands near the stadium, the Guardiola family stared with wide eyes at Lin Quan's every move.

Although he was not playing on the field, Guardiola still felt a sense of empathy.

When he thought of the huge difficulties and pressures that Lin Quan would face, he couldn't help but worry for Lin Quan.

In the box, Mendes, Ronaldo and Mourinho also stopped talking and looked towards the court.

There was a hint of anticipation in Mendes' eyes. He had heard of Lin Quan's great name a long time ago and was full of curiosity and desire for this young man who had suddenly emerged in the football world in recent years.

It’s a pity that I didn’t recruit him last year, otherwise, I would have two of the three most successful players in football today!

Seeing Lin Quan running on the field, Ronaldo remembered the World Cup qualifiers two years ago when he watched the match between Spain and France in the hotel lobby.

That was the first time he noticed Lin Quan.

In just two years, this guy has grown from an unknown and unknown guy to this level.

Even Ronaldo himself felt the huge pressure! If he could lead the team to win this game, he might have a chance to win this year's Ballon d'Or, right? Mourinho didn't have so many thoughts. He just simply observed Lin Quan's every move with an appreciative attitude.

Last year, in order to sign Lin Quan, Mourinho collected many of his video tapes and conducted extensive research on his playing style.

Therefore, among the three people present, Mourinho may be the one who knows Lin Quan best.

However, after a year of baptism in the Premier League and the Champions League, he felt that Lin Quan's playing style had changed significantly.

During his time at Werder Bremen, he was a pure attacker with great offensive power on the field and loved to dribble past opponents and shoot on the wing.

But after arriving at Manchester City, thanks to Manchester City's strong offensive firepower, Lin Quan appeared less frequently on the wing, and the number of his dribbles and shots also decreased a lot.

He spent most of his time as a shadow striker and attacking midfielder, taking on a lot of organizational work.

And now, he appeared on the wing again, as if returning to the early days, which made Mourinho very sure that Lin Quan would definitely choose to pass these two defenders this time! Sure enough, seeing Godin approaching, Lin Quan quickly judged the opponent's intention.

Want to double-team me?

It’s a good idea, but it’s too slow!

As he moved with the ball, he quickly assessed the distance between himself and the two defenders. Philip was about one meter away from him and Godin was two meters in front of him.

This space is very small for the average player and may just be a chance to touch the ball.

But for Lin Quan, this space is already considered ample.

He pushed the ball sideways to the left, as if he was going to move towards the center.

Godin and Philip both subconsciously made adjustments, but after seeing the opponent's movements, Lin Quan passed the ball to the left and made a breakthrough from the left.

Godin turned around quickly and reached out to pull Lin Quan, not giving him the chance to pass him.

However, Lin Quan's move was still a fake move, and Godin was obviously fooled! Seeing his teammate being fooled, Philip secretly said that it was not good. He did not dare to wait any longer, and immediately pushed Lin Quan hard from behind, trying to stop the attack with a tactical foul before he entered the penalty area.

Although he may get a yellow card for this action, compared with conceding the goal, a yellow card is already a very good result.

However, Lin Quan seemed to have anticipated Philip's actions.

When he started to push the opponent, Lin Quan had already passed the ball.

And just as he completed the pass, Lin Quan felt a huge push from his back.

He was not pushed down, but instead used the force to stagger forward.

It all happened in a flash. Aguero just passed the ball, and in less than two seconds, the ball came back.

However, after Aguero received the ball, another Atletico defender Miranda had already rushed up.

He still had no space to shoot, but Aguero and Lin Quan had already formed a tacit understanding.

After receiving the ball, he did not choose to shoot, but instead made a straight pass and completed a wall pass with Lin Quan.

After stumbling for a few steps, Lin Quan finally regained his balance and just as he entered the penalty area, he received a pass from Aguero. The timing was neither fast nor slow, just right! Courtois finally determined who would be responsible for the final kick, so he no longer hesitated and immediately rushed out of the goal, opened his arms, and pounced on Lin Quan.

There is no doubt that this was a one-on-one attack.

So Courtois cannot rely on any teammates, he must rely on his own strength to stop the opponent's shots.

But can I do it?

He had studied Lin Quan's success rate in one-on-one attacks before the game, and the conclusion he came to made him despair!

Lin Quan's success rate in single attacks is over 90%, and he may not make a mistake once in ten times! Therefore, once he falls into a passive 1v1 situation, it actually proves that Atletico's defense has failed!

Although Courtois tried his best, he actually didn't have much confidence.

However, the Atletico Madrid fans at the scene, including the Atletico Madrid coaching staff on the sidelines, all placed their hopes on him at this moment.

They hope that Courtois can perform a miracle and help the team guard the goal again like in the past to resolve this crisis!

However, the excitement did not appear!

Lin Quan saw Courtois coming out and passed the ball to him easily.

Courtois hurriedly stretched out his legs to intercept the ball, but he was a step too slow and could only watch in despair as the ball slipped past his side.

After passing Courtois, Lin Quan took a look at the football.

After confirming that the ball would definitely roll into Atletico's goal, he didn't waste time to make up for it, but opened his arms and ran along the bottom line of the field! Boom! The sound waves of the Lumina Stadium exploded like a depth charge, and the entire stadium fell into madness.

Countless Manchester City fans cried with joy and hugged each other excitedly! We are ahead! Finally kicked the ball into that damn goal! On the sidelines, Manchester City's coaching staff rushed out one by one after seeing the single-handed attack and helping the team score the first goal.

They ran excitedly on the sidelines, hugged each other, and waved their fists in celebration.

Pellegrini slipped and almost fell when he was running outside, but the old man didn't care at all. He excitedly rushed towards his colleagues and assistants, hugged them and celebrated.

In the stands near the stadium, Guardiola felt a pang in his heart when he saw Lin Quan being fouled by the opponent's defender and staggering almost falling.

Like many fans, he thought Lin Quan would lose his balance and fall in the penalty area, thus missing the opportunity.

However, Lin Quan did not fall down, but stood up tenaciously, passed the opponent's goalkeeper at the critical moment, and sent the ball into the goal! These things are easy to say, but it is too difficult to do!

The opponent's defender must have used a lot of force in that push just now, and it was very difficult for Lin Quan to maintain his balance.

The opponent's goalkeeper seized the opportunity and attacked in time, leaving Lin Quan very little time to react and adjust.

In such a short time, even if the average player can receive the ball, he will not have time to adjust. Either his hasty shot will be blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper, or he will not even have a chance to shoot because the goalkeeper who has attacked in advance will block the shot.

But none of this happened! Lin Quan adjusted his balance and shot in an instant.

Moreover, that last one was too easy.

Courtois certainly didn't expect the opponent to shoot in such a way! Thinking of this, Guardiola smiled, and the unhappiness of being shut out by Atletico Madrid in the previous two games also dissipated a lot.

Hey, I can't break the door, but my son can!

He is helping me to get revenge!

In the box, after seeing this goal, Mendes and the other two couldn't help but secretly say "well done" in their hearts.

C Ronaldo couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If it was him, he wouldn't have been able to handle the ball better than him. He might even be unable to score.

Mourinho took the lead in applauding. This kid did not disappoint him and even did better than he had imagined!

I'm afraid Atletico Madrid will have a difficult time in this game!

Mendes also started to applaud, and his eyes became more enthusiastic when he looked at Lin Quan.

Lin Quan is only 18 years old, and Ronaldo is already 29 years old. If he can recruit Lin Quan, he will have the best player in football for the next ten years! (End of this chapter)
