Chapter 512 Playing tricks on Courtois, Manchester City 2:1 Real Madrid!

Modric was extremely alert and tried desperately to stop Lin Quan. He was even ready to use a tactical foul to disrupt Manchester City's attack.

However, Lin Quan started too fast. The four actions of flicking the ball, spiking the ball, changing direction and breaking through were all done in one go and in an instant. Only Modric's eyes could keep up with Lin Quan's rhythm, but his body could not keep up at all.

Therefore, to outsiders, Modric was like a wooden stake, standing still without any movement, and was easily passed by Lin Quan! He didn't even have time to commit a foul!

Modric was dribbled past and Real Madrid's defense was immediately exposed to Manchester City's attack.

Ramos' scalp tingled: Still coming?

When he was in the national team, every time Ramos and other defenders saw Lin Quan standing in the frontcourt, they felt confident.

But when it came to the club's game and Lin Quan stood on the opposite side, he was filled with anxiety.

This kid is really difficult to deal with, Ramos is not sure he can stop him.

But he has no choice but to go forward. If he continues to dribble the ball forward, the threat to the goal will be too great.

So Ramos had to rush forward despite his difficulties.

He knew that it would be difficult for him to stop Lin Quan, so he didn't dare to rush too hard for fear of being easily passed by the other party.

What he has to do now is to delay Lin Quan as much as possible and buy time for his teammates.

Ramos' partner Pepe tacitly blocked the position on the side, both to provide support for Ramos and to block Lin Quan's passing line to his teammates, preventing him from cooperating with Aguero.

Lin Quan saw Ramos sticking to him but did not rush to grab the ball. He immediately understood that the other party wanted to delay time.

Of course Lin Quan couldn't let him have his way. He quickly changed his strategy and took the initiative to dribble the ball towards Aguero.

However, this move made Real Madrid defender Pepe ecstatic:

Boy, you took the initiative to deliver this to me! Seeing Lin Quan rushing towards Pepe with the ball, the fans at the scene were puzzled: Why did it feel like Lin Quan had walked into a trap?

Originally, they only had to face Ramos in defense, and there was still a possibility of a breakthrough.

Now, Lin Quan took the initiative to find Pepe, and the two central defenders of Real Madrid almost completely cut off his forward breakthrough route. It seems that Manchester City's offensive will end in vain.

At this time, Aguero was already in an offside position and Lin Quan could not pass the ball to him.

Moreover, he might not be able to pass the ball successfully when being double-teamed by two central defenders of Real Madrid.

"Lin has always been calm and smart in handling the ball. Why is it that this time..."

In the commentary booth, Wenger sighed and was very puzzled by Lin Quan's choice.

Although Real Madrid's defenders did a great job in this defense, even without a great opportunity, Lin Quan was still able to complete a shot with his strength.

But he made such an 'unwise' choice that he didn't even have a chance to try his luck.

Moreover, Manchester City is on the attack now, and their defensive formation is no longer tight. Once Real Madrid successfully completes the interception and quickly launches a counterattack, Manchester City will be in danger.

There are too many successful cases of taking advantage of the opponent's offensive mistakes to launch counterattacks on the court. For top teams, seizing such opportunities is almost a compulsory course for them.

Martin Taylor and Andy Gray were also confused by Lin Quan's choice. From a God's perspective, Lin Quan actually had many choices.

Even if the counterattack fails this time, we can control the rhythm and pass the ball back to teammates to reorganize the attack.

This is what Manchester City is best at. Since the score is tied now, they don't have that much offensive pressure and can play more calmly.

"It seems that the pressure of the finals was too great, causing a top star like Lin Quan to make mistakes!"

Everyone nodded, as if this was the only reasonable explanation.

Every player will make mistakes.

However, Lin Quan has created so many miracles before that in many people's hearts, he is almost like a god. In addition, he rarely makes mistakes in the game, so many fans find it unbelievable.

However, when they thought about the fact that Lin Quan started to make mistakes, some Manchester City fans couldn't help but start to worry.

Manchester City has played too few games against the odds this year and has won too easily in all competitions.

This makes people wonder whether they can withstand such pressure.

Just when everyone thought that Manchester City's attack was about to end and Real Madrid was about to launch a counterattack.

Lin Quan began to slow down, as if trying to stop the ball.

Seeing Lin Quan's actions, Ramos felt relieved.

Finally stopped it, it was not easy!

Pepe, who was standing aside, was ecstatic in his heart and his eyes lit up: What a good opportunity!

Before, Lin Quan was quite far away from him, so he had no chance to stretch his foot and steal the ball.

Now Lin Quan and the ball under his feet are right in front of him and are within his stealing range.

Pepe didn't think twice and pulled Lin Quan's jersey with his hands while stretching out his foot to grab the ball under his feet.

However, at the moment he stretched out his foot, Lin Quan took the ball with his right foot, then picked up the ball with his toes and flew it through the gap between the two people.

After completing this move, Lin Quan quickly accelerated and slipped through the gap between the two. (Refer to the 2006 Barcelona vs. Real Madrid match, when Messi passed Carlos and Cannavaro) Pepe’s foot had just been extended, and he had no time to adjust his body’s center of gravity. He was still in a stiff state and could hardly react. He watched helplessly as Lin Quan rushed past him! Not good!

Ramos was also shocked. He never expected Lin Quan to do such a thing.

I thought that after forcing Lin Quan to stop, this crisis would be resolved.

Unexpectedly, after Lin Quan slowed down, he successfully broke through their interception.

Without thinking, he immediately turned around and chased after him, while also reaching out to pull Lin Quan's jersey.

At this time, you must break the rules and never drag your feet.

However, when he was about to pull Lin Quan down, he suddenly realized that both he and Lin Quan had entered the penalty area. If he committed a foul at this time, it would be a yellow card package.

It might even be a red card! So, Ramos, who was about to commit a foul, hesitated.

Just as he hesitated, Lin Quan broke free from his reins like a wild horse and rushed out.

Courtois is numb!

What are the two defenders doing? Haven't they successfully stopped the opponent?

Why did they let someone rush over? How can I save this fucking one-on-one shot? The guy on the other side is Lin!

Before Lin Quan started shooting, Courtois had already surrendered in his heart.

Lin Quan saw the opponent's goalkeeper rushing out, so he swung his leg to make a shooting motion, and at the same time took a special glance at the lower right corner of the goal.

Want to hit the right side?

Courtois keenly caught Lin Quan's action and without thinking, he rushed to the right.

However, after he jumped out, he quickly realized that he had been fooled, because Lin Quan did not kick to the right at all, and did not even shoot. The ball was still under his feet. What he did just now was just a feint!

The fans at the scene were in an uproar! Should they praise Linquan for his realistic fake move and for making the goalkeeper understand clearly? Or should they blame Courtois for being too stupid, not even seeing the opponent's shooting action and being fooled!

This kind of mistake is probably hard to happen even for an amateur goalkeeper, right? The opponent's goalkeeper made a wrong judgment. There was an empty goal in front of Lin Quan, so he gently pushed the ball and easily sent the ball into Real Madrid's goal again.

The score on the field became 2:1, and Manchester City took the lead again.

Moreover, compared with the previous goal, this goal was a huge blow to Real Madrid's morale, especially to the goalkeeper.

Courtois got up from the ground and felt his whole face burning, as if he had been slapped countless times.

He felt that his teammates and even the opposing players were looking at him strangely.

“Well done!”

De Bruyne looked even happier than when he scored the goal. Although Courtois is his teammate in the national team, the relationship between De Bruyne and Courtois has become strained because of his ex-girlfriend.

Although with the help of Lin Quan, De Bruyne's girlfriend did not cheat on him, Courtois did hook up with his girlfriend when he was in love with his ex-girlfriend.

I treat you as a good brother, but you messed with my woman behind my back. Are you still a human being? So when he saw Lin Quan teasing Courtois in this way and making him embarrassed in public, De Bruyne felt very relieved.

On the sidelines, Guardiola was already preparing to sit back in the coaching seat in disappointment when Lin Quan was forced to stop.

As soon as he turned around, there was a huge noise coming from the stadium. He turned around suddenly and saw that the Real Madrid goalkeeper had misjudged the direction and Lin Quan easily sent the ball into the empty goal.

"Oh God, how did he do that!"

Guardiola hugged his big bald head in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

What on earth did I miss?

What happened just now? At this moment, his heart was filled with annoyance and regret.

Next time, as long as Lin Quan has the ball, I will definitely not even blink and will not miss any exciting moments!

In the Real Madrid coaching bench, the assistant coaches and substitutes, who had not yet applauded Ramos and Pepe for their excellent defense, were stunned when they saw the situation on the field take a sharp turn for the worse.

How could this happen? Is this fake? Can this be played? Zidane's expression was a little dull, his mouth twitched slightly, and his fists were clenched involuntarily.

"Damn, Emperor Lin is awesome!"

“This will all pass!”

"What are Ramos and Pepe doing? They can even miss someone?"

"Haha, Pepe finally got defeated!"

"Looking at his appearance, it seemed that he was planning to stretch out his foot to grab the ball, but Lin Huang passed him by like he was a wooden man!"

"Monk Pepe, you have come to this day!"

Pepe is notorious in the football world for his rough and brutal actions.

Countless basketball stars have been violated or even injured by him, which has caused many of the stars' fans to dislike him and give him countless nicknames behind his back.

Therefore, Lin Quan's action of teaching Pepe a lesson at this time made many fans feel relieved and vented their anger! "Sorry, it's my fault!"

Pepe also knew that he had made a mistake, so he took the initiative to take responsibility.

Ramos patted him on the shoulder and said nothing.

It's okay to make mistakes at ordinary times, but in an occasion like the finals, you must never make mistakes easily, especially when facing a star of Lin Quan's level, a mistake may very likely be fatal.

However, he did not dare to criticize Pepe directly. It was not because he was afraid of what Pepe would do to him. Ramos had never been afraid of anyone when it came to fighting.

It's just that Pepe has a bad temper and a bad mentality. If he gets scolded and becomes unbalanced, and then he loses his composure and gets a red card, then it will be the end of him.

This kind of thing has happened before. A few years ago, in the national derby with Barcelona, ​​Pepe played well, but he got a red card because of his uncalm behavior, which led to Real Madrid being sent off and losing to Barcelona again.

Although Real Madrid often lost to Barcelona in those years, they even lost at Camp Nou with a very exaggerated score of 0:5.

But they had a good chance of winning that game, but because of Pepe's lack of calmness, Real Madrid ultimately failed.

With such a precedent, Ramos could only keep his anger and dissatisfaction in his heart.

Let's talk about everything after the game is over. At this time, you can only take responsibility yourself and not add fuel to the fire.

If we have to assign blame for Manchester City's goal, apart from Pepe, midfielder Modric is also to blame.

If he had not underestimated Lin Quan's defensive ability and accidentally lost the ball in a dangerous area, it would still be Real Madrid's offensive turn and Manchester City would not have had such an opportunity at all.

So when the game resumed, Modric, who had learned from his mistakes, no longer dared to underestimate or despise Lin Quan.

This guy has much more awareness and experience than he appears.

You must never think of him as a harmless defensive rookie!

After Modric got serious, Lin Quan no longer got the upper hand from him.

Moreover, Lin Quan's defensive ability is indeed not very strong, and it is difficult to completely restrict Modric.

But he was not fighting alone, he had teammates to assist him, which limited Modric's performance to a certain extent.

Modric is crucial to Real Madrid. When he is restricted, there are big problems with the connection between Real Madrid's midfield.

Isco's problem of being better at attacking than defending began to be exposed. He gradually became the weakest link of Real Madrid on the field and was frequently targeted by Manchester City.

At the end of the first half, with the morale boost brought by Lin Quan's goal, Manchester City launched round after round of attacks, making Real Madrid feel unprecedented pressure!

Fortunately, there was not much time left in the first half, and soon the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

This made Isco and all the Real Madrid players feel relieved.

If they continue playing like this, they feel they will lose the ball again!
