Chapter 12: Sudden Change, Unexpected Injury!

"This kid is integrating into the team faster than we thought!"

In the stands, Moyes frowned and said to his assistant.

He came to the scene today, mainly to inspect two people.

One is Chilean engineer Manuel Pellegrini's tactical play and on-the-spot scheduling ability.

The other is to inspect Lin Quan's state of the game.

He has the information of the other Manchester City players, and these two are a little strange to him.

Neither of them has coached or played in the Premier League before, so it is unclear whether the two will be able to adapt to the pace of play and the style of play in the Premier League.

Now it seems that Pellegrini's tactical style of play is in order.

The 442 formation he lined up is basically what the coaches of the Premier League do.

Moreover, the game was still relatively short and Pellegrini had not yet seen his performance in terms of on-the-spot command and substitutions, so it was impossible to further gauge his ability.

But Lin Quan is different, and just by his performances on the pitch so far in the first half, Moyes has no doubt that he will fit into the Premier League.

No wonder the outside world calls him a third person other than Melo, he does have this ability.

Thinking of this, Moyes instructed his assistants beside him:

"When I go back, I will find out the footage of his match between the Bundesliga and the Spanish national team, and I will study him carefully!"

Although football is a team game, the role of a superstar on the pitch cannot be overlooked.

Superstars often only need a flash of inspiration to rewrite the score on the court with their individual strength.

Just like Messi, no one could have imagined that a simple pass from Busquets would allow him to penetrate the entire defense of Real Madrid.

This kind of performance belongs to the flash of inspiration of the supergiants.

Even if Messi is allowed to do it again in the same position, he may not be able to create such a miracle.

But as long as they're on the field, it's possible to do something like that, and you have to guard against it.

The assistant was surprised that Moyes thinks highly of Manchester City!

The other party is just a group of nouveau riche, as for looking up to them so highly?

"It's different now, the current Manchester City is different from the previous Manchester City!"

Moyes saw the carelessness of his assistant, so he said in an accentuated tone:

"Don't underestimate them, I don't want to taste the bitter fruit of defeat because we underestimate the opponent, we have just arrived at Manchester United, we need to be careful in every game, we can't make any mistakes, especially in a city derby like Manchester City, his importance cannot be overstated 10,000 times!"

Thinking of their current situation at Manchester United, the assistant immediately cheered up and nodded heavily:

"Don't worry, David, I'll get things done!"

……

After the goal, Lin Quan ran to the sidelines, put his hand to his ear, and asked the Manchester City fans in the stands for applause.

Manchester City's fans will not skimp on their applause and cheers, even if he does not take the initiative to ask for applause.

So after seeing his movements, the fans applauded and cheered wildly, and the volume of the entire stadium suddenly increased a lot.

"Lin, that's good, just kill them like this!"

"Lin, one more!"

"Lin, let's get a hat-trick!"

Hearing the fans' calls, Lin Quan smiled and waved at them, and gave them an OK gesture.

This response made the fans even more excited.

Some of the fans who got close were eager to roll down from the stands, wanting to rush into the field and celebrate with Lin Quan.

However, he was only halfway over, and was pushed back by the on-site security guards who were like a great enemy.

Manchester City seemed to anticipate that the game would be hot, so they hired thousands of security personnel in advance to maintain order.

Now it seems that this money was not spent in vain!

……

Manchester City fans cheered with Lin Quan's goal.

But the Newcastle fans on the opposite side couldn't be happier.

The fans of the Magpies looked at the number 10 player in the blue jersey on the field, and the envy in their eyes could not be suppressed.

Back then, under Kevin Keegan, they also had such a super goalscorer, who was the Premier League's all-time goal record and single-season goal record holder, the Premier League's top scorer - Alan Shearer.

However, Alan Shearer has long since retired from old age and Newcastle is no longer in its former glory.

A few seasons ago, they even experienced an all-time low of relegation to the Championship.

The team's resurgence looks far away, and Manchester City, who were struggling with them in the middle and bottom of the league for relegation, have quietly risen by this time.

This made the fans of the Magpie Army envious and jealous, not knowing when such good fortune would befall them.

"Can't let that kid score unscrupulously!"

"That's right, stop him!"

The Newcastle players were frustrated and even angry, conceding a goal after just six minutes, and the scorer promised the fans a hat-trick on them.

It's really unbearable!

Although our Newcastle strength is not as good as your Manchester City, it doesn't mean that we are easy to bully!

Even if you can't win this game, you have to prevent the opponent's number ten from continuing to score.

Under the strong hostility of the other party, after the game restarted, Lin Quan immediately felt the difference.

Newcastle defended much tighter and used foul tactics at every turn to stop themselves from attacking.

After realizing the opponent's defensive strategy, Lin Quan immediately made targeted adjustments.

He began to reduce the number of receiving, increase the frequency of passes, pass the ball to his teammates as much as possible, and use the help of his teammates to get rid of defenders.

The move quickly paid off, and Newcastle naturally weakened their marking against the rest of Manchester City's players after strengthening their defence against Lin Quan.

In the 21st minute of the game, David Silva inserted an assist and entered the penalty area after colliding with Lin Quan three times in a row.

At this time, the football was at Lin Quan's feet, and he stood at the front of the big penalty area to prepare to shoot.

Newcastle's players felt he was a bigger threat than David Silva and put his defensive priorities at the top.

Central defender Taylor and defender Guflan coincidentally chose to rush to Lin Quan, and the two of them planned to wrap Lin Quan one after the other, wanting to strangle the opponent's attack at the front of the penalty area.

After seeing the opponent's choice, Lin Quan quickly made adjustments, and he passed the ball to Silva from the gap before the opponent forced over.

Newcastle's defensive formation has been deflected by him and he has attracted enough attention that Silva will only need to get rid of the defenders around him to get the chance to take on the goalkeeper.

"Stop him!"

Seeing that Lin Quan could still pass the ball out in such a small space, the Newcastle defenders were all very frightened.

It's so close to goal that an opposing player can score a direct shot as long as he receives the ball in the box.

It's only been 20 minutes now, and if they concede another goal at this time, they will have absolutely no chance of scoring points in this game!

So, it is absolutely necessary to stop this attack of the other side!

Feeling the weight on his shoulders, Mbiwa saw Silva smash into the box like a cunning loach and quickly gauge the distance between himself and the ball.

It was a one-half goal and he wasn't sure he could get the ball ahead of David Silva.

So Mbiwa made a decision in an instant, and without the slightest hesitation, he fell to the ground and put the shovel down, showing the spikes at Silva.

Mbiwa's calculation is very loud, you can get kicked by me when you catch the ball, and if you don't catch the ball, you will miss a great opportunity to attack.

He intends to use this tackle to intimidate the opponent and make the opponent dare not receive the ball.

Now the score is leading the score, Manchester City, who have a star with a high salary and unlimited potential.

From a common sense point of view, David Silva should not be so desperate.

So in the game between the two, the moment he showed his spikes, he was already invincible!

However, to Mbiwa's surprise, Silva didn't see his tackle at all.

All he wanted was not to waste Lin Quan's assist, and he failed to spot Mbiwa's dangerous move at the first time.

And by the time he realizes the danger and wants to jump away, it's too late!

Beep!

A shrill whistle blew and the Etihad Stadium was in an uproar.

Countless Manchester City fans craned their necks, unconcerned with the referee's decision on the goal.

They just want to make sure David Silva is injured.

Although David Shill is not City's number one star, he has brought an FA Cup, a league trophy and was named Manchester City's Player of the Season in 2011-2012 since joining the club for three seasons.

It can be said that before Lin Quan joined the team, the favorite player of Manchester City's players was David Silva.

But now, the team's meritorious veteran was kicked down in the penalty area by the opponent.

This made countless Manchester City fans worry about him!

"David stand up!"

"David, don't get hurt!"

"Woooooooooooo

Some fans anxiously shouted at David Silva lying on the lawn, hoping that he would hear his voice and get up.

But seeing that he didn't stand up for a long time, some of the more fragile fans couldn't hold back anymore and began to sob.

Seeing that David Silva was tackled by the opponent and did not get up from the ground at the first time, Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini stood up from the dugout.

He walked briskly to the sidelines, trying to figure out Silva's situation.

Silva is an important part of the team and his role up front has been huge.

The new season has just begun, so don't get hurt at this time!

In the box of the Etihad Stadium, Mansour, the big boss who flew to Manchester from the Middle East to watch the game, saw David Silva fall in the opponent's penalty area, he got up and let out a national curse with the word F in his mouth without mentioning it.

How dare the other party, how dare such a blatant foul?

They can foul David Silva today, and tomorrow they can do the same to the superstar he spent hundreds of millions of pounds on to bring back!

Thinking of the terrible picture of Lin Quan being kicked and broken by the other party, Mansour couldn't help but shudder.

No, you can't just let this happen, you have to do something to protect the players in Manchester City!

At this moment, Mansour had already decided to appeal to the FA for a policy to protect the stars.

Without such protective policies, the Premier League's appeal to top stars will only become less and less.

Superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are reluctant to stay in the Premier League because of such unscrupulous fouls by Premier League defenders.

What superstar would dare to risk his career reimbursement to play in the Premier League!

It is precisely because Ronaldo and Messi both went to La Liga that they have been suppressed by La Liga in recent years and lost their position in the world's first league.

If this situation is not changed, it cannot be ruled out that the Premier League will continue to degenerate and be overtaken by the Bundesliga or even Serie A.

He believes that as long as he states his interests, the FA will respond!

……

On the field, Manchester City's players rushed to the Newcastle penalty area and anxiously gathered around Silva.

City's team doctor also rushed up with a medical kit and began to check on his injuries.

Lin Quan was angry, he was the Manchester City player closest to the scene of the incident and witnessed the whole process of Mbiwa's crime.

Angry, he went straight to Mbiwa's trouble, pushed him hard, and asked him why he did this.

Mbiwa is not easy to mess with, seeing that Lin Quan has made a move, he waved his fist to teach Lin Quan a lesson.

However, Newcastle's players saw that the situation was not good, and they were worried that he would be sent off directly, so they quickly hugged him from behind.

In fact, Mbiwa didn't expect it, and he didn't expect the other party to be so iron-headed.

He just wanted to deter the other party and make the other party give up this opportunity, but he didn't expect the other party to collide directly.

It's just a game, do you need to work so hard?

The referee wouldn't give him a chance to explain, and the fact that he had spiked his sandals in the box and didn't tackle the ball was a foul of a very bad nature in his opinion.

Even if the Premier League's enforcement standards are very loose, they cannot tolerate such fouls.

So, he gave Mbiwa a yellow card.

The decision stunned Mbiwa and the City fans at the scene.

Including Mbiwa himself, everyone thought that this would be a red card, but they didn't expect the referee to raise it lightly, and it seemed that he was going to be sentenced to death, but it was just a yellow card with a lot of thunder and rain?

Boos flooded the Etihad Stadium with action, and fans expressed their displeasure with the decision to the referee.

Unmoved, the referee recorded the yellow card and signalled for the City players to prepare for a penalty.

Manchester City's team doctor rushed onto the pitch with a serious face, only to have a more serious expression after checking David Silva's injury.

The team doctor waved to the sidelines, signaled for the team to make a substitution, and called in a stretcher to carry the injured David Silva down.

"Lin, I'm sorry, I didn't take advantage of the opportunity you just created!"

On the stretcher, David Silva was still blaming himself, blaming himself for wasting Lin Quan's pass.

This sentence made Lin Quan's nose sour, and he blamed himself in his heart.

He shook David Silva's hand and said to him:

"David, take good care of your injuries, I will avenge you!"

"Well, I'm waiting for your good news!"

After saying that, he was carried away on a stretcher.

And after Silva was carried away on a stretcher, Lin Quan glanced back at Newcastle's left-back Mbiwa.

At this moment, the anger in his heart climbed to the extreme.

The thirst for revenge is incomparably strong!

Newcastle, wash your necks and die!
