"This kid!"

After seeing Aguero score, Guardiola slapped his bare head in annoyance!

He knew that Lin Quan and his teammates did not cooperate tacitly, so he only had to send someone to restrict Lin Quan and Silva.

Lin Quan himself also knows that he and his teammates do not cooperate tacitly, and Silva will most likely be restricted.

Therefore, the strategy he discussed with Silva was to use Silva as a cover to attract Guardiola's attention, and then Silva would cover his teammates to complete the attack.

As a result, in addition to Lin Quan and Silva, there is a third person that Guardiola did not expect.

Pep Guardiola misses out on that!

"Placed by this kid!"

After thinking about this, Guardiola shook his head self-deprecatingly.

If he was teased like this by someone else, he might be a little angry, but when he thought that the other party was his son, Guardiola couldn't get angry.

Not only is it not angry, but there is also a sense of accomplishment:

The stinky boy grew up very fast, and even your old man was teased by you!

Worthy of my son!

However, Pep Guardiola was not prepared to let Lin Quan lead the team to a reversal, he made a substitution adjustment, replacing Ribery, replacing Bad Stuber, adding a midfielder, further strengthening the defense at the same time, and seeing the third point of Manchester City.

Moreover, the substitution at this time can also serve the purpose of delaying time, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

After Bad Stuber came on the pitch, Bayern's backfield became very hard.

Manchester City's attack is not to mention threatening the penalty area, and it will be difficult to penetrate their midfield.

In the end, the battle was over in 90 minutes.

Bayern defeated Manchester City 3-2 at home to win the Audi Cup.

There was a very interesting scene after the game, Lin Quan walked to the sidelines, hugged Guardiola, and asked him to exchange jerseys.

Guardiola was stunned for a moment and pointed to the suit on his body:

"Stinky boy, do you have a crush on my suit?"

It is common for players to exchange jerseys between players, but it is very rare for players to exchange jerseys between players and coaches.

More famously, in 2018, after Manchester City's Carabao Cup second leg against Bristol City, opposing defender Aden Flint half-jokingly swapped shirts with Pep Guardiola.

At that time, Guardiola refused the other party's request, but after the game, he still sent the other party an identical set of clothes, which was considered to meet the other party's wishes.

Now that there are still several years before that incident, Lin Quan is the first to go.

The camera at the scene captured this funny scene, which drew laughter from the audience.

The team won the game, and the Bayern fans were in a more relaxed mood.

The crowd close to the side of the dugout began to heckle:

"Mr. Guardiola, give him the 'jersey'!"

"Manchester City's No. 10 jersey is not available on the market, so you can't lose money!"

Lin Quan's No. 10 jersey is still in the factory production and has not been listed on a large scale.

Even if you want to buy it, you can't buy it at this time.

What's more, this is still the jersey he wore, and it was a limited edition of a limited edition.

However, the suit on Guardiola costs tens of thousands of yuan, and it is not cheap.

"Look at my size, can I wear your clothes?"

Lin Quan compared the height of the two and said to Guardiola.

Pep Guardiola laughed: "Okay, okay, just exchange it for you, just take it as a souvenir for our first encounter!" ”

The father and son's first meeting on the field is indeed memorable when you think about it.

So, Lin Quan took off his jersey and handed it to Guardiola, who changed the suit on his body to Lin Quan.

The two had a very bizarre jersey swap.

……

After the Audi Cup, City did not spend much time in Germany.

They flew back to the UK overnight.

In response to the team's problems in the Audi Cup, Pellegrini began to adjust the team's technical and tactical play.

He knew that Yaya Toure liked to attack forward, so he assigned him a certain offensive mission.

However, he made a request to Yaya Toure that he must ensure that the team's defense is worry-free before he can step forward, otherwise he will not be allowed to step forward easily.

In response to the problem that several players in Manchester City's frontcourt did not cooperate well enough, he tried to arrange more training matches in the team, so that Lin Quan, Silva and Aguero and others played in a fixed combination.

Tacit understanding can be cultivated, and after playing together for a long time and becoming familiar with each other's playing habits, the tacit understanding will be raised.

After a week of intense training, Manuel Pellegrini contacted several teams for a friendly match to check the team's form.

They first looked for Fulham in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, and then found Arsenal, which is relatively strong.

Manuel Pellegrini intends to train on Fulham before using his momentum to beat the Farmers to face Premier League giants Arsenal.

As long as they can win Arsenal, the team will be able to accumulate a certain amount of confidence and morale.

That way, they will be able to adjust to their best before the Premier League starts.

Of the two teams, Fulham are happy to play as a sparring partner for Manchester City, but they have asked to play on their home turf.

In this way, they can use Manchester City's fame to sell a little tickets and make some extra money.

Manchester City is not short of money, and ticket revenue is not worth anything.

It doesn't matter to them what the other side wants, it's enough that the other side is willing to play a friendly match with them.

Arsenal agreed, but the date was set later on August 15.

They have just finished their trip to Asia and are currently recovering in form.

Although Arsene Wenger is not very fond of commercial activities, Arsenal have carried out some commercial activities this summer in order to earn money to support the team.

And Asia, where people are stupid and have a lot of money, is a good place for Arsenal to make money.

If it weren't for the fact that the road was too far away, the professor would have been eager to run there every day.

However, for the top giants, this kind of business activity will have some impact on their pre-match preparation.

So, when it comes to conducting business activities, they also weigh the pros and cons.

Some money can be earned, some money can't.

Professor Arsene Wenger was well aware of this, so Arsenal's trip to Asia lasted only half a month before returning to the UK.

In this way, their pre-race preparations will not be affected too much.

However, after a few games against those stinky chess baskets in Asia, he worries that his team's form will slip.

So when I came back to the UK, I started looking for the right opponents to find the right form and try to get the team back in form before the Premier League started.

Manchester City, which is strong on paper, but lacks the heritage of a wealthy family, and the actual combat effectiveness may be discounted, has become their best training opponent.

As a result, the two teams hit it off, and Arsenal will travel to the Etihad Stadium on 15 August to challenge Manchester City.

On 10 August, Manchester City kicked off against Fulham first.

The match attracted about 20,000 spectators.

The farmer's home field is relatively small, and even with some additional seats, the capacity is less than 30,000 people.

A friendly match can have 20,000 spectators, which is still very high.

Among the fans who went to the scene to watch the game, many of them came for Lin Quan.

People are very interested in this man who claims to be comparable to Mero, and want to see for themselves if he is really as strong as rumored to be.

Not only the fans are interested, but even the Fulham players are also interested in Lin Quan.

When standing in the players' tunnel, Lin Quan noticed that the eyes of the opposing players had been focused on him, and he also exchanged words from time to time, as if he was talking about himself.

"Be careful, they're talking about foul play against you!"

David Silva's position was relatively close, and under deliberate attention, he heard some fragments of the other party's whispers, so he reminded Lin Quan with a serious expression.

"yes, I see!"

Lin Quan nodded, it is not surprising that the Fulham players have such thoughts.

After all, when he first came to the Premier League, the British media labeled him as 'not good at physical confrontation'.

Maybe the opposing players think so, right?

In the handshake before the game, the opponent's left fullback Richardson held Lin Quan's hand and did not let go, and said cruel words to Lin Quan:

"Boy, watch out for your legs when you play!"

Lin Quan increased his strength in his hand, and the face of the other party who pinched it turned the color of pig liver:

"I'll give you this sentence too, be careful of your own legs!"

He has always believed in a-for-tat, an eye-for-an eye.

If anyone is unkind to himself, then he will also come back with unceremonious revenge.

"Hehe, the tone is not small, this is the Premier League, and here is a game that can only be played by real men...... Hiss, pain, let go, you madman! ”

Seeing that the other party's mouth was still chattering, Lin Quan increased the strength of his hand, and twisted the facial features on the other party's pinched face together.

"Try it!"

Lin Quan glanced at Richardson and walked to the next opponent.

Fulham's midfielder Sidwell swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he saw his team-mate's white hand being pinched.

Is it okay not to shake hands?

But Lin Quan's hand had already reached over.

Sidwell could only muster up the courage to stretch out his hand.

After taking a hit with Lin Quan's hand, he quickly retracted it like an electric shock.

for fear of being caught by the other party's hand and ending up in the same fate as Richardson.

The other party's reaction made Lin Quan stunned for a moment, and after thinking about the reason, a smile appeared on his face.

Being able to make such an impression in the other person's mind is not bad news for him.

……

At 19:30 in the afternoon, the game officially began.

Fulham seized the opportunity to attack Manchester City from the start, without the slightest caution or caution against a strong team.

It looks like they're planning to play Manchester City!

Also, it's just a friendly match, not a main game.

They have to be worthy of the fans who paid for the tickets.

If Fulham huddle in their own half, the fans will curse them to death!

Manchester City's current weakness is in the backline, and the strength of the forward line is not weak at all.

Fulham wanted to fight them to the death, and Manchester City naturally couldn't ask for it.

As a result, Manchester City also sounded the horn of attack and launched a fierce attack towards the Fulham penalty area.

This is Lin Quan's first time playing against a Premier League team, although it was only a warm-up game.

But both teams are serious Premier League teams, and even the referee is the head referee of the Premier League.

So the intensity of this game is not much different from the main match of the Premier League.

After actually playing, I know that the pace of the Premier League is indeed fast.

But unlike the kind of fast counter-attacking teams on the ground, teams in the lower middle of the Premier League like to play high.

When football is at the feet of Fulham players, they don't like to push forward from the ground, but prefer to get a high ball to find their own striker and let the striker fight for the top.

When he got into the fight, he ferried to his teammates and went directly past the midfield to attack Manchester City's penalty area.

If you don't fight, you quickly retreat to prevent being counterattacked by the opponent.

Isn't this the old-fashioned tactic of long-passing?

Why is it that people still use such tactics in this day and age?

Lin Quan was surprised, the offensive efficiency of this tactic was very low.

There are a lot of players at the back of Manchester City, and it is not easy for the opposing strikers to fight for the football spot.

Even if you win, you may not be able to successfully ferry to your teammates.

And once they concede, what awaits them will be a quick counter-attack from Manchester City.

Sure enough, in the 13th minute of the first half, after seizing a mistake by the opponent, Manchester City quickly passed the ball to the side after the ball was broken at the back.

The ball soon came to Lin Quan's feet.

Lin Quan had long observed that Fulham's defense was relatively empty, and after receiving the ball, he didn't say a word, ran wildly with the ball, and killed Fulham's penalty area.

Fulham's left-back Richardson rushed towards Lin Quan with a fierce momentum, without even looking at the football, and directly collided with his man.

The Fulham fans at the scene had wide eyes and expectant expressions on their faces.

They are ready to appreciate their defenders ravaging the number 10!

It is said that in order to invite this little man from Spain, Manchester City not only spent a huge amount of money on the signing fee, but also took out the first year salary in football, which can be said to be at a cost.

Thinking that the opponent's number 10 player was about to be easily defeated by one of their own defenders who is very ordinary in the Premier League, Fulham fans couldn't help but want to mock Manchester City for being stupid and too much money!

Does money be useful?

Aren't you still going to be bullied by us in Fulham?

In addition to the Fulham fans, there was also a mysterious spectator in the audience.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger also came to the scene to inspect Manchester City, or Lin Quan's adaptation in the Premier League.

Fulham, like Arsenal, are London-based teams, so it's not a hassle for the professor to come to the farmer's side to watch the ball once.

He has always been very optimistic about Lin Quan and wants to introduce Lin Quan very much.

Although it failed in the end, this did not affect the professor's love for Lin Quan in the slightest.

However, Arsene Wenger is also well aware of how fierce the confrontation in the Premier League game is.

He himself is not sure, can Lin Quan adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League?

At this time, seeing Fulham's defenders rushing towards Lin Quan viciously, Wenger's heart involuntarily lifted.

Lin Quan is a genius, but don't get hurt!

Bang!

A violent collision was heard.

Richardson and Lin Quan bumped into each other!

However, unexpectedly, it was not Lin Quan who was hit, but Richardson himself.

The latter bounced off the spot as if he had hit a wall, and sat on the ground with a face full of disbelief:

How is this possible?

How did this kid not get knocked down?

Lin Quan glanced at Richardson on the ground disdainfully:

Ramos can't knock me down, which onion are you?

After Richardson's defensive failure, Lin Quan was already flat in front of him.

Fulham's defenders didn't seem to expect their team-mate's interception to fail, and only then did they start moving, apparently too late.

Before the opponent's central defender came over, Lin Quan dribbled the ball from Richardson into the penalty area, and in the face of the attacking goalkeeper, a light pick shot scored the ball.

The score was rewritten to 1:0.

saw Lin Quan knock down his own defender and hit the ball into his own goal.

The Fulham fans at the scene were silent:

This script, how is it different from what I imagined!
