Chapter 362: The youngest Ballon d'Or winner in history, the hot candidate for the

title of the best player!

"The 2014 Golden Globe Awards were announced, and Lin Quan was elected with 68.7% of the votes!"

"The Peerless Twins can be renamed the Peerless Three Beauties!"

After Lin Quan won the Golden Globe Award, major media outlets spared no effort in reporting the news of his winning.

This Golden Globe Award is of extremely high value and has very little controversy.

Among the three selected candidates, Lin Quan received nearly 70% of the votes, Ronaldo, who ranked second, received less than 20% of the votes, and Messi received just over 10%.

This may be the least controversial Golden Globe Award in the past 20 years.

Moreover, this is the first time since the establishment of the Golden Ball Award that a young player under the age of 20 has won the award.

Lin Quan, who is just over a month away from turning 19, has drastically broken the youngest record previously set by Ronaldinho.

In 1997, Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or for the first time when he was only 21 years old.

Lin Quan lowered the record by two years! This record has never been set before and will probably never be set again.

For an 18-year-old player, it is difficult to get a stable chance to play in the first team, let alone win the Champions League and the World Cup as the core of the team! Before Lin Quan accomplished this feat, no one in the entire football world had ever thought about this, because in everyone's inherent cognition, such a thing is simply impossible!

However, this impossible thing actually happened.

Therefore, people naturally think of the first generation of football king - Pele! He also became famous at a young age, participated in the World Cup at a very young age, and led his team to win the championship.

The script Lin Quan is following now is almost exactly the same as Bailey's back then.

Therefore, many people believe that Lin Quan is likely to become the new generation of football king just like Pele did in the past!

"This kid is similar to me. I think Lin will become the best player sooner or later!"

After this rumor reached the ears of the King of Football, Pele himself came out to express his opinion, saying that he was very optimistic about Lin Quan.

He believes that Lin Quan is as good as him and will be crowned the new generation of football king sooner or later.

However, another football king, Maradona, was not happy.

"Yes, I am also optimistic that Lin Quan can become the new generation of football king, but I don't agree with what Pele said. Lin Quan's style is obviously closer to mine!"

Although the two football kings had some conflicts on local issues, they both agreed that Lin Quan would become the football king sooner or later.

This has aroused great interest among the fans!

"Two great soccer players publicly endorsed each other, so I just want to ask who else is there?"

"Haha, Lin Huang is not even 19 years old yet, but he already has so many honors and achievements. It's not too surprising that the two football kings are optimistic about him being crowned king!"

"I don't think so. Bailey has a bad mouth. If he says that, Emperor Lin will probably be killed by milk!"

"That's not right. Pele predicted that Spain would win the World Cup, and that prediction was correct!"

“Even if you don’t believe Pele’s prediction, you should at least believe Maradona’s prediction, right?”

"Indeed, apart from his poor leadership skills, the Polo King has a very good eye for people!"

"Isn't it too early to say this now? Lin Quan is not even 19 years old yet, he is really too young.

Once a young player suffers a serious injury, it is easy for his form to plummet. If he is just a flash in the pan, then he will definitely not be the king of football! ”

"Pah, pah, pah, why don't you say something nice? Emperor Lin has thick skin and is very durable. How could he be seriously injured so easily?"

"Although Lin Huang has relatively few injuries at the moment, injuries are indeed a huge hidden danger. As long as Lin Huang can maintain his current state and is not affected by injuries, it is only a matter of time before he becomes the king of football!"

…

After winning the Golden Globe Award, Lin Quan became even more low-key.

He never participated in the outside world's debate, but returned to the team, trained hard and maintained a better condition.

As more and more main players return from injuries, Guardiola has more and more players at his disposal.

However, he has not given up the idea of ​​using the winter break to recruit new players and strengthen the team.

On January 17, Manchester City will host Arsenal at home.

Ever since Manchester City received investment from the Abu Dhabi consortium, they have won more than they lost against Arsenal.

In the first half of the season, Manchester City reversed the defeat against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

So facing the challenge from the Gunners, Manchester City is not nervous.

Compared with the game against Arsenal, the next away game against Chelsea is more worthy of their attention and vigilance.

Chelsea's home field has always been difficult to play at, and they once created a record of 86 consecutive home games unbeaten.

It is a very troublesome thing for any team visiting Stamford Bridge.

When Manchester City visited Stamford Bridge last year, they were once forced into a desperate situation by Chelsea.

If it weren't for Lin Quan's stunning overhead kick to equalize the score in the last minute, they would have fallen victim to Chelsea.

Therefore, Guardiola regarded this game against Arsenal as a preview of the game against Chelsea.

He put some of his work and scientific research into this competition.

This move angered Arsenal players!

What do you mean? Are you looking down on us by using us as experiments?

If the tiger doesn't show its power, you think we are sick cats!

Arsenal are fighting hard to maintain their top four position, and they can be quite scary when they get aggressive!

In just 34 minutes of the first half, thanks to Cazorla's pass and shot, Arsenal led the defending champion 2:0.

This result was beyond everyone's expectations. Manchester City fans watching the game at home held their heads in disbelief, some wondering if they had seen it wrong. Was the score wrong?

The small number of Gunners fans who came to watch the game away from home also found the result a little unbelievable.

What's going on? Is my Nana going to be powerful?

They were leading the defending champions Manchester City by 2 goals away from home? Is this true? The opponent was a team that had just won seven championships, and had a Ballon d'Or winner and a future football king!

On the sidelines, when Giroud received an assist from Cazorla and headed in the second goal, Professor Wenger clenched his fists excitedly and his whole body was shaking.

This season, after other teams have invested heavily in strengthening their teams, Arsenal faces even greater difficulties.

Their record in strong confrontations is very poor. This season, Arsenal has struggled to win against Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea, and only got 1 point from Liverpool.

Arsenal's poor performance against strong teams has caused them to fall out of the top four in the standings and they are currently struggling towards their goal of maintaining their top four position.

This victory will not only bring them valuable three points, but also allow them to end the embarrassing record of Arsenal never defeating the defending champion away from home since 2002.

After the joy, Wenger forced himself to calm down.

It’s not time to open the champagne and celebrate yet, the first half hasn’t ended yet, and they are facing the defending champion Manchester City! Manchester City is a very strong team, and they also have players like Lin Quan who can change the situation on their own.

If they are not careful, the leading advantage they currently hold may be lost.

…

In Manchester City's coaching booth, Guardiola was getting a little restless.

In this game, he made some adjustments to the team's lineup and formation, resulting in a decrease in the team's interception ability in the midfield and frontcourt.

In the backcourt, the absence of Yaya Toure and the fact that Kroos has just returned from injury and is not yet in his best form have affected the team's midfield strength.

Arsenal played really well in this match. Their passing and cutting coordination was not only gorgeous, but also very tacit. It felt like they were impossible to defend against.

In particular, the attacks launched from both flanks exposed Manchester City's weak flank defense.

However, the most crucial thing was probably the failure to win the midfield. Cazorla was too active in this game and did too many things in dangerous areas.

Thinking of this, Guardiola made a bold adjustment. He moved Manchester City's defense line forward and put captain Kompany behind to act as a sweeper in the defensive defense.

At the same time, he also made some adjustments in the midfield, letting the two wingers move inward, increasing the number of people in the midfield, opening up the side channels at the front of the half, but setting up two interception lines on the inside.

Wenger next door couldn't help but frown after seeing Guardiola's adjustments.

Why did Guardiola make such an adjustment? After the two wingers moved inwards, it became easier for Arsenal to attack from the flanks, and in this game, Arsenal opened up the game by attacking from the flanks.

Isn't Guardiola's doing this equivalent to actively exposing Manchester City's soft belly to Arsenal's butcher knife? What kind of tactics is this opponent? I don't understand! Since I don't understand, let's observe the situation for the time being and see what happens!

Wenger's indecisiveness in on-the-spot command came back again. At this time, he either had to stabilize the defense or seize the opponent's exposed weaknesses and attack them to death.

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

The worst option is to wait until the other side makes adjustments but you remain silent.

Because he ignored the fact that his team is a group of young people whose mentality is most easily affected.

When Arsenal are playing well, they are invincible, but when they are playing against the wind, they have almost no ability to turn the tables, not to mention that they are playing away from home! Guardiola's adjustment quickly paid off. In the 43rd minute of the first half, Manchester City successfully stole the ball from Cazorla's feet after multiple players surrounded him in the midfield.

After successfully stealing the ball, Fernandinho quickly passed the ball to De Bruyne, who then passed it to Lin Quan.

Because Manchester City's two wingers moved inward, they were very close to Lin Quan at this time. When Lin Quan dribbled the ball towards Arsenal's half, they were able to receive and cooperate with Lin Quan.

This made the Arsenal players hesitate a little, and they did not choose to double-team and press Lin Quan at the first moment.

Lin Quan's dribbling ability is too strong. If he passes the ball after failing to press, Arsenal's defense will immediately have loopholes.

But the problem is, if they don’t send more people to press Lin Quan, how can they stop Lin Quan’s advancement?

The answer is, there is no way to stop it!

Ramsey and Koscielny rushed towards Lin Quan but were overtaken one after another, and Lin Quan dribbled into the penalty area.

The attention of Mertesacker, Monreal, Bellerin and others were all attracted by Lin Quan, and they rushed towards Lin Quan almost at the same time.

However, Lin Quan did not choose to shoot himself, but knocked the ball to the other side of the penalty area, assisting Navas who came in and scored.

Manchester City quickly scored a goal and changed the score to 1:2. After the goal, Navas and Lin Quan rushed into the goal together, and both reached out for the ball almost at the same time.

"Let's go, while there's still time in the first half, let's score another goal!"

Seeing Navas's actions, Lin Quan gave the ball to him, patted him on the shoulder and said to him.

"Yes, that's exactly what I meant!"

Compared with Manchester City, whose morale was boosted, the Arsenal players seemed a little anxious after conceding the goal.

There was no tactic worth mentioning in Manchester City's attack this time. They just took advantage of the opportunity of transition from offense to defense to launch a counterattack.

However, the Arsenal players who felt the opponent's attack throughout the whole process couldn't help but feel a little scared in their hearts.

Manchester City's attack was too fast and too concise. They only completed three passes in the entire attack, all of which were forward passes, and then they scored a goal.

As long as Arsenal can limit one of the passing points, there is a high probability that the ball will not be lost.

On the sidelines, Professor Wenger's brows were furrowed into a "川" shape.

He clenched his fist and put it to his mouth, and couldn't help thinking about how to deal with Manchester City's counterattack.

In this attack just now, the two passes by De Bruyne and Lin Quan were the most crucial.

Especially Lin Quan, he not only bears the responsibility of delivering the final fatal pass, but also shoulders the task of dribbling the ball quickly and helping his teammates attract the opponent's attention.

From the center circle to their own penalty area, Arsenal players allowed the opponent to carry the ball for almost 30 meters.

This was an unacceptable mistake. If someone had fouled him or stopped him, Manchester City's attack would not have been successful.

But how difficult is it to limit Lin Quan? Don't Real Madrid and Barcelona know how big a threat Lin Quan poses? They know, but they still can't keep an eye on Lin Quan.

So Wenger just glanced at Lin Quan and quickly dismissed this unrealistic idea.

He turned his gaze to De Bruyne.

This kid's passing threat is getting bigger and bigger. In the previous attack, he also completed the first key pass.

If he could be restricted, Manchester City's offensive threat might not be so great.

Thinking of this, Wenger immediately made adjustments and strengthened the defense against De Bruyne.

This change quickly took effect, with De Bruyne's number of possession and passes significantly reduced.

However, the situation does not seem to have changed at all.

It even got worse! After De Bruyne was watched, another person stood up. That person was none other than Kroos, who had performed poorly before! In the injury time of the first half, Manchester City once again seized on Arsenal's offensive mistakes and launched a counterattack on the spot.

After receiving a pass from Lin Quan at the front of the penalty area, Kroos took a long shot and penetrated Arsenal's goal for the second time.

Manchester City scored two goals in just a few minutes, making Arsenal players begin to question their lives.

In the eyes of Arsenal players, Manchester City's goals are as easy as eating and drinking.

The lead they had worked so hard to build was wiped out in just a few minutes.

This made them start to doubt: Can we really beat the powerful Manchester City? When Arsenal players began to doubt themselves, it meant that they might collapse.

In the second half, Manchester City continued their efforts and threatened Arsenal's goal again and again with fierce attacks, but Arsenal's counterattack completely lost the spirit it had at the beginning of the first half.

Without spiritual and creative passing and cutting, it is impossible to break through Manchester City's defense.

After ninety minutes of battle, the score on the scoreboard was fixed at 5:2!

Arsenal was leading by two goals but Manchester City scored five goals in a row and unfortunately lost the three points that they should have secured.

After the game, some fans took photos of Arsenal head coach Wenger falling while riding the subway in Manchester.

In the photo, Wenger, with silver hair, fell to the ground with a suitcase in his hand.

Two subway security guards were helping him up from the ground.

After this set of photos was released, it immediately caused heated discussions across the Internet.

"I feel so sorry for you, Professor. It looks like you fell pretty hard!"

"Ah, I guess I was in a bad mood after losing the game, and the ground was too slippery, so I fell down!"

"Arsenal fans are in tears. It's really hard to lose like this!"

"The professor has grown old too. In just a few years, his black hair has completely turned white!"

"He has given too much for Arsenal and made too many sacrifices. If he were to coach another team, he would definitely not have so many troubles!"

"The professor won't be able to hold on for many more years in this state. Gunmen like him are really despairing. There is no hope at all!"
