Chapter 358 Manchester City wins seven titles!

"CCTV, dear viewers, this is the live broadcast of the 2014 Club World Cup final between Manchester City and San Lorenzo."

"The team wearing sky blue jerseys is Manchester City, the Champions League champion last year, and the team wearing red and blue striped jerseys is San Lorenzo, the Copa Libertadores champion."

"Haha, at first glance, the jerseys of both teams look like Manchester City is playing against Barcelona!"

"Yes, that's right. San Lorenzo's jersey does look a bit like Barcelona's jersey. Coincidentally, this team happens to be from Argentina, Messi's hometown."

On CCTV, the two hosts quickly introduced the starting lineups of the two teams and then started chatting.

“Before this game, Manchester City had already won six championship trophies including the Community Shield, FA Cup, Premier League, Champions League and European Super Cup.

If they can win this Club World Cup, they will become the second team after Barcelona to achieve six championships. "

"Coincidentally, the man who led Barcelona to accomplish this feat was none other than the man sitting in the Manchester City coaching bench right now - Guardiola!"

When talking about Guardiola, the two commentators' tone was full of respect.

This young marshal is not very old, but the honors he has achieved have attracted worldwide attention.

Moreover, the passing and controlling football he pioneered can be said to have led an era and became the object of learning and imitation for many teams.

If he can replicate his success at Barcelona in Manchester City, then he may be able to use this achievement to reach the top of the world and become the best head coach in football.

Guardiola sat calmly in the coaching seat, watching the game on the field seriously. He did not underestimate the opponent just because the opponent was weaker than himself.

In this kind of one-game-deciding match, it is easy for things to go wrong.

As long as the opponents arrange their tactics properly and have a little luck, they may be able to defeat them unexpectedly.

Therefore, Manchester City played very patiently in this game.

They were not in a hurry to attack, but first built a fence and stabilized their position. After they had clearly tested the enemy's strength, they launched a fatal blow.

So, in the first 10 minutes after the start of the game, the situation on the field looked very calm.

But after 10 minutes, Manchester City's attack became fierce.

In the 12th minute, Manchester City's continuous back passes caused a flaw in San Lorenzo's defense.

This flaw was immediately caught by Manchester City players, and Lin Quan immediately ran towards the opponent's defensive gap.

De Bruyne immediately passed the ball to him, and the two of them cooperated very well, giving the opposing players almost no time to react.

After receiving the ball, Lin Quan dribbled twice in a row, dribbled past the opponent's No. 20, and then broke into the penalty area and completed the first shot.

Unfortunately, the ball was too angled and went around the goalkeeper before hitting the post and flying out of the bottom line, causing the Manchester City fans who were at the scene to sigh and hold their heads in their hands.

The players of San Lorenzo were all shocked. Manchester City's slow pace in the first ten minutes gave them an illusion that the European champions were nothing special.

But when the opponent suddenly sped up and started playing extremely fast passing and cutting, they had a hard time keeping up.

"Everyone, cheer up, pay attention, and don't be distracted!"

On the sidelines, San Lorenzo's head coach was very dissatisfied with the team's defense.

If their luck had been worse, they would have fallen behind by now.

Compared with the head coach of San Lorenzo, Guardiola's mentality is much calmer.

What? You can’t stand this?

We have just started to speed up, the highlight is yet to come.

The formation Guardiola deployed today was a strikerless formation, and the core of the attack was obviously Lin Quan.

After leaving Barcelona, ​​Guardiola could hardly suppress his excitement to once again coach a player who had a single-point blaster similar to or even more terrifying than peak Messi.

Guardiola knows how to use Messi well!

From the 10th minute, Lin Quan became more and more active in the frontcourt.

Under his coordination, Manchester City's attack became one wave higher than the other, almost suffocating the opponents.

In the 15th minute, Lin Quan turned and shot from the penalty area line, hitting the crossbar, making the San Lorenzo players break out in a cold sweat.

This guy is too active to be restrained.

Seeing that conventional means didn't work, they immediately began to increase the number of fouls, trying to use fouls to restrict Lin Quan.

The referee of this game is Walter Lopez from Guatemala, who has a strict refereeing standard.

After the opponent fouled Lin Quan for the first time, he immediately gave a verbal warning to the opponent, asking the players of San Lorenzo to pay attention to the scale of their actions.

When his opponent knocked Lin Quan down for the second time, he took out his cards without hesitation.

San Lorenzo's No. 20 midfielder Ortigoza received the first yellow card of the game in the 17th minute.

Ortigoza had a heavy defensive task. After receiving the card, he was very worried and didn't dare to kick when defending.

After catching this situation, Manchester City players took advantage of this weakness and attacked the opponent to death.

Ortigoza was immediately in trouble. The opponent's repeated attacks made him flustered and he kept making mistakes.

His teammates had to come over to help defend, which caused the entire defense line to become loose.

Then, the flaw appeared!

In the 22nd minute, Lin Quan passed Ortigoza who was afraid to tackle and dribbled into the penalty area.

After attracting the attention of the opposing defender and goalkeeper, he knocked the ball across the goal, and De Bruyne followed up with a push shot, sending the ball into the empty goal.

The score was changed to 1:0, and Manchester City temporarily took the lead.

De Bruyne scored this goal very easily. The opponent's entire defense line was disrupted by Lin Quan's breakthrough. He just needed to rush forward and kick the ball.

Even if an 80-year-old grandmother were to do this, she would still be able to score a goal.

After scoring the goal, De Bruyne pointed at Lin Quan, motioning him to come over and celebrate with him.

Lin Quan ran over with a smile, hugged De Bruyne and said to him: "Is my pass okay?"

De Bruyne said seriously:

"It's okay. If it can be passed to my right foot, it will be even better!"

De Bruyne's dominant foot is his right foot, but who cares when he passes the ball!

Under so many people's pressure and double-teaming, it's good enough to pass the ball. Why are you so picky? So when Lin Quan heard De Bruyne's words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes:

"Come on, come on, can you try passing me a ball like this?"

Hearing Lin Quan's words, De Bruyne nodded: "Let's give it a try!"

…

"pretty!"

“What a beautiful pass!”

"Lin Quan's vision and passing ability are incredible, as he was able to pass the ball even when surrounded by three players!"

In the CCTV studio, the two commentators couldn't help but cheer loudly after seeing this goal.

This goal was mainly attributed to Lin Quan. After he passed the ball, the opponent's defense had completely collapsed.

De Bruyne's shot was effortless, and anyone else could have scored as well.

"Some people are always worried that Lin Quan will become like Messi in the future. As he ages and suffers from injuries, his explosiveness and speed will decline, and he will no longer be able to make such sharp breakthroughs and will lose his threat.

But in this game, Lin Quan used his excellent passing to tell everyone that even if he lost his breakthrough ability, he could definitely have his own place in the team with this superb passing ability! "

"In fact, after Suarez came to Barcelona, ​​Messi also began to transform.

His number of breakthroughs decreased and his number of passes increased. In Barcelona, ​​Messi's goal proportion decreased, but Suarez and Neymar's goal numbers set new records.

This did not reduce Barcelona's combat effectiveness, but further enhanced their overall strength.

This year's Champions League will probably be more intense than last year.

Real Madrid with the BBC combination, Barcelona with the MSN combination, plus the defending champion Manchester City which is still strong.

These three teams are considered by the outside world to be the favorites to win this year's Champions League! "

…

After conceding the ball, San Lorenzo further strengthened its defense against Lin Quan while launching an attack.

They obviously realized that if they couldn't limit Lin Quan's performance, they would have no chance of winning this game.

However, although Guardiola valued Lin Quan, he did not put all the offensive tasks on Lin Quan alone! When Lin Quan was targeted, other Manchester City players stood up one after another.

In the 42nd minute, Navas scored another goal after receiving a wonderful pass from De Bruyne, extending the score to 2:0. This goal allowed Manchester City to touch the trophy with one hand, and they are getting closer and closer to their first Club World Cup trophy and their first six-crown achievement! In the second half, the opponent made a decisive substitution, replacing Ortigoza who received a yellow card.

But the player who came on was not a defensive player, but an offensive player.

This means that the opponent's midfield defensive ability has not only not improved, but has been weakened.

With fewer players in the midfield, San Lorenzo had the numerical advantage in the frontcourt but was unable to get possession of the ball.

Their midfield was firmly suppressed by Manchester City and they completely lost the game.

After gaining control of the midfield, Manchester City began to play Guardiola's signature passing and controlling football.

From the spot on, Manchester City's possession rate soared rapidly.

The ball was almost always at their feet, and the opponents couldn't even touch it.

Even if the opponent occasionally succeeds in counterattacking, they will immediately be pressed by multiple Manchester City players and quickly take the ball back.

At this time, all Manchester City players, except the goalkeeper, had crossed the half court.

They kept passing the ball and attacking outside the opponent's penalty area, and the opponent's players could only run around and be passively moved around.

For a while, Manchester City launched attacks continuously, one round after another, like a tide.

The players of San Lorenzo were under great mental stress and were experiencing tremendous consumption and torture both physically and mentally.

This kind of kicking made them feel extremely depressed.

But they had no choice because the opponent's ball control ability was too strong and they couldn't get the ball at all.

Even if they manage to grab the ball, they can't pass it because the opponent won't give them time to handle the ball.

On the sidelines, the head coach of San Lorenzo felt a chill all over his body and began to tremble slightly.

Too strong! It's really too strong!

Such opponents are simply not on the same level as those they encountered in the league and the Copa Libertadores.

Before this, they had never encountered such a terrifying opponent.

Is this Guardiola's passing and controlling football? Although he had heard of the name of passing and controlling football a long time ago, this was the first time he felt the pressure brought by the opponent's tactics at close range on the court.

He couldn't help but look at the bald man next to him with some fear. What kind of genius could come up with such a subversive and creative tactic?

On the field, the situation is getting out of control.

The players of San Lorenzo were under great mental stress and their physical energy was consumed.

Although only 60 minutes had passed, their players could be seen gasping for breath, and some even began to cramp.

The huge consumption of physical energy and mental tension caused them to lose their form when fighting for the ball, and the number of fouls and cards they received increased rapidly.

In the 61st minute, Navas was fouled by the opponent when he broke through with the ball, and San Lorenzo's No. 11 player received a yellow card.

In the 65th minute, Lin Quan was brought down by the opponent's winger while dribbling the ball on the left, and San Lorenzo's No. 7 also received a yellow card.

Compared with their opponents, Manchester City, who hold the initiative, consumes less physical energy.

Therefore, after the opponents' physical strength declined, they could no longer withstand Manchester City's attack.

In the 72nd minute, Lin Quan turned around and shot from the penalty area line, which once again penetrated the opponent's goal and changed the score to 3:0. This ball completely killed the suspense of the game. San Lorenzo was originally weaker than Manchester City, and they were still so far behind. With the score and situation not in their favor, they could not see any hope of a reversal.

After the game lost its suspense, Guardiola began to make substitutions, trying to preserve the players' energy as much as possible so that they could catch up with points in better condition after returning to the Premier League.

Before being substituted, De Bruyne made a nanny-level pass to Lin Quan in the 77th minute of the game.

During the mobile battle, he calculated the lead time and Lin Quan's stride frequency and length, and accurately sent the ball to Lin Quan's right foot.

This pass made Guardiola stand up from the bench with his eyes wide open.

Lin Quan was also very surprised. He was just joking with De Bruyne, but he didn't expect that the other party actually did it!

Faced with such a comfortable pass from De Bruyne, Lin Quan did not waste the opponent's assist. Without any adjustment, he swung his leg on the spot and sent the ball into the blind corner of the goal.

4:0!

Lin Quan scored the fourth goal of the game and also completed his brace in the final.

After Lin Quan scored the goal, Guardiola couldn't wait to use two substitutions and replaced him and De Bruyne together.

When the two players left the field, the fans stood up and applauded them.

In this game, fans not only remembered Lin Quan but also De Bruyne.

Especially his amazing pass at the last moment shocked the entire stadium.

After leaving Chelsea, De Bruyne has made rapid progress. At this time, he may not be as famous as those world-class midfielders.

But in terms of strength, he is no worse than them!

Not long after the two players were substituted, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

With four wonderful goals in the final, Manchester City defeated their opponents and not only defended the glory of the European Championship, but also won the first Club World Cup trophy in team history.

This is their seventh championship trophy, and Manchester City was crowned the first seven-time champion in the history of the Premier League and even in football!
