Chapter 16 Infiltrating Old Trafford Failed, Lin Quan was exposed!

After scoring this goal, Lin Quan did not choose to celebrate, quickly rushed into the net, scooped up the ball and ran back.

Time is running out, and if you want to win, you have to race against the clock.

City's players were still fighting for Lin Quan's equaliser and they were glad they didn't have to lose on the road.

After seeing Lin Quan's actions at this time, they all came to their senses one by one.

The game isn't over yet, and they still have hope of winning!

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of themselves.

I was actually happy to equalize, and even felt satisfied with a point away from home, Manchester City's goal is to win the Premier League!

This kind of idea of being rich is unacceptable!

On the sidelines, Pellegrini applauded Lin Quan's move.

In this team, if you ask him who he is most satisfied with, Lin Quan is always the first answer!

Cardiff City's players and fans were left with a huge gap in their minds after the team's lead was erased.

It only takes a few more minutes to hold on for the first home win in the Premier League.

As a result, in the last few minutes, they were equalized by the opponent with a free kick, which made them feel unwilling, lost, and a little fearful.

They can clearly feel that after the opponent scored this goal, the whole momentum has been completely up.

Although there is not much time left in the game, Manchester City beat the opponent in the last game of the league that year, staged a shocking comeback, and snatched the league title from Manchester United!

Facing this kind of team that has created miracles in the past, Cardiff City's players are actually a little frightened in their hearts.

So, they couldn't help but worry in their hearts, worried that something would happen to them that they would be killed.

There is a way to be afraid of what comes!

After the restart, City's morale was high and all the players rushed into the opposition half, attacking around the Cardiff City penalty area.

In such a frenzied siege, City created a lot of chances but missed them.

In the 87th minute, Yaya Toure's long-range shot went high over the goal.

In the 89th minute, Negredo's shot was too straight and was confiscated by the goalkeeper.

In the 91st minute, Lin Quan's shot from a small angle hit the post.

As the minutes ticked by, there was less and less time left for Manchester City.

The referee has already started to watch the time and is ready to blow the whistle for the end of the game.

In the third minute of stoppage time, Cardiff City players were again fouled on the edge of the box and awarded City a free-kick.

This may be City's last attack of the game, the referee's stoppage time has arrived, and after this goal, he is likely to blow the whistle for the end of the game!

So, this free-kick is of great significance to Manchester City.

It can be said that how many points Manchester City can score in this game depends on the performance of the player who took the goal!

Therefore, this creates a huge psychological pressure on the players who take the free-kick.

Yaya Toure did not fight with Lin Quan this time, but took the initiative to give up the opportunity to take the penalty.

Obviously, he was not sure that he would score the ball and was afraid that he would become the team's sinner if he missed it, so he backed down.

Lin Quan didn't think about it so much, whether the ball was his own penalty or not, as long as the team failed to win the game, he would definitely be the one who was criticized the most by the outside world.

Who told him to be the most famous and the most paid at Manchester City?

With great power comes great responsibility.

Moreover, he does not like to leave his fate in the hands of others.

If he comes this ball by himself, he will have a little more bottom in his heart.

As before, after Lin Quan placed the position of the ball, he took more than a dozen steps back.

Glancing at the direction of the goal, he began to accelerate.

At this moment, Lin Quan became the focus of attention of the audience.

Time seemed to be slowed down, and the eyes of the 30,000 Cardiff City fans, including their owners and all the players on the field, were firmly attracted to Lin Quan at this moment.

The distance of ten meters was fleeting, and Lin Quan rushed to the ball.

As before, he raised his right leg high, filled with strength, and kicked the ball hard.

Boom!

An explosion exploded on the football field!

Like a rocket, the ball whizzed over the wall and towards Cardiff City's net.

The goalkeeper is finally no longer a spectator this time!

He leaped high and stretched his body to the limit, trying to expand his body's defensive area in an attempt to stop the ball.

However, the speed of the football was beyond his imagination, and all he could hear was the sound of wind breaking through the air, and something seemed to pass in front of him.

Then there was a 'boom', and when I looked back, the football had flown into my own net!

The goalkeeper collapsed on the lawn in despair, looking back at the moon, staring intently at the rolling football in the net.

He was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

With such a ball speed of football, how can he defend himself?

“gooooooooooooal!!!!”

In the commentary seat, Martin Taylor and Andy Gray are completely crazy!

"Unbelievable goal, City's number 10 took a very high quality free-kick!"

"According to the computer calculations on the spot, this team has a ball speed of 150 kilometers per hour, oh my god, this is the fastest goal in the Premier League this season!"

"Perfect free kick, incredible reversal, Manchester City's core led the team to reverse the game with a brace from a free kick, and his performance was worthy of his value!"

"That's right, Lin Quan's performance in this game is undoubtedly phenomenal, and he stepped up to help the team come back and win when the team's overall form is sluggish.

Maybe this Manchester City team is not worth our expectations, but Lin Quan will always be worthy of the trust of Manchester City fans! ”

"Haha, it was a great goal, but for the Cardiff City fans at home, maybe they were going to have a depressing weekend."

"Just a few minutes ago, no one could have imagined that Manchester City would be able to come back and win in such a way, when the goddess of victory seemed to be beckoning to Cardiff City, but after just a few minutes, everything changed!"

As the commentator said, after Lin Quan scored this goal, the Cardiff City fans at the scene were all turned into wooden carvings.

Looking at the Manchester City players celebrating wantonly on the field, they all seemed to be stunned in place, looking at the stadium in a daze, as if they couldn't accept such a result at all.

Many fans who were emotionally fragile even cried.

And compared to their disappointment, frustration, sadness.

Manchester City fans were overjoyed!

Ten minutes ago, they all thought their team was about to suffer their first defeat of the season.

As a result, I didn't expect that in the last few minutes of the game, Lin Quan staged such a wonderful performance, almost single-handedly crushed the opponent, led the team to reverse and win, and turned their sorrow into joy, and was instantly surrounded by happy joy!

Not to mention the fans, even the Manchester City players and even the coaching staff were extremely surprised by this reversal.

After Lin Quan scored this goal, the players on the field were stunned for a moment, and then rushed towards Lin Quan like crazy.

Even Yaya Toure, who had opinions about Lin Quan before, had to applaud Lin Quan's wonderful performance at this time.

Under such heavy pressure, he can still take a free kick of such a level, and the opponent's psychological quality is much better than his own!

On the sidelines, the players on the bench and even some members of the coaching staff ran into the stadium one after another, chasing Lin Quan, who had scored a goal, celebrating wildly.

The players who were originally dissatisfied and suspicious of Lin Quan, the core of the team who only came over in the summer, also completely dispelled the doubts in their hearts at this time.

To see whether a person can carry the beam, whether he can act as the core of the team and the leading brother, you can't just look at his performance in good times.

Rather, it should be judged by his performance in the face of adversity!

Lin Quan's performance in this game made Manchester City realize that even in adversity, he can stand up and even lead the team to a comeback to win.

Such a temperament has won him the recognition of the players.

So for Manchester City, this goal is not just three league points, but also a key battle for the team to work together!

……

After the game, Pellegrini chose to take Lin Quan to the press conference.

At the press conference, he praised Lin Quan's performance.

"There is no doubt that Lin is a phenomenal player, he always scores incredible goals on the field, and it is a blessing for every coach to coach such a great player, because with him the team's attack is much easier!"

Pellegrini's words were echoed by the manager of Cardiff City next door, who did a lot of planning and preparation for how to keep an eye on Lin Quan in this game.

Although he almost succeeded in restricting the opponent in the positional battle, he didn't expect that the opponent still had the option of free kicks in his arsenal, and suddenly gave him two free kicks to score directly, making all his tactical preparations come to naught.

For the praise of the coach and reporters, Lin Quan modestly said that the victory is the credit of all the members, and he just did what he should do.

After hearing Lin Quan's words, the reporters did not think he was hypocritical, but felt that he was very clear-headed.

There are many strong teams and giants in the Premier League, Manchester City is not a giant, if they are fluttering because they have won two games in the middle and lower teams, then in the strong matchup, those strong teams will soon teach them to behave.

Speaking of strong matchups, there is a highlight in this round of the Premier League - Manchester United's home captain Chelsea.

As a result, some reporters asked Pellegrini and Lin Quan about this issue and asked them for their opinions.

Manuel Pellegrini said that both teams are strong teams, and the strength is between the two teams, and it is normal for anyone to lose and win.

However, Manchester United is still in the run-in period due to the retirement of Alex Ferguson.

And Chelsea's team was brought out by Mourinho, so he is more optimistic about Chelsea.

When the reporter asked Lin Quan this question, Lin Quan said with a smile:

"Manchester United has experienced a change of manager, but their big team is still there, and they are playing at home, so ......"

"So you're bullish on Manchester United?"

The reporter couldn't help but ask.

"No, I think they might be tied!"

Hearing Lin Quan's answer, the reporters couldn't help but burst into laughter.

If Manchester United and Chelsea do draw together, it will obviously be in the interest of other teams aspiring to win the Premier League.

It just so happens that Manchester City is one of them.

Therefore, this result is only the result that Manchester City wants the most!

"Your former team-mate at Werder Bremen is Kevin De Bruyne in the Chelsea squad right now, and I've heard he's still a good friend of yours, so don't you support your friend to win?"

Journalists tried to sow discord.

Lin Quan was not fooled:

"Personally, I'm still very supportive of Kevin and I hope he can have a good game at Old Trafford, I'll go live and watch the game and if I have the chance, I'll talk to him!"

Manchester United is Manchester City's sworn rival, and Lin Quan will definitely not go to Old Trafford to watch the game to support Manchester United.

So there's only one possibility, he's going to cheer for Chelsea, or for Kevin De Bruyne.

Everyone else went to support De Bruyne, and the attempts of journalists to sow discord naturally went bankrupt.

After the game, in addition to touting Lin Quan's amazing performance in the game, the media also reported his words at the press conference.

Hearing that he was going to come to watch the game to support him, De Bruyne couldn't help but call him and ask about the truth of the matter.

"Of course it's true, I've said everything, how can I regret it?"

Lin Quan gave De Bruyne a positive reply, but he concealed a little, in addition to his own attendance of the game, the Manchester City coaching staff will also attend the scene.

In the fifth round of the league, Manchester City is about to usher in a city derby with Manchester United.

Before that, they have to look at the form of the opponent's game, especially against the big teams, what tactics they will use.

Hearing Lin Quan's answer, De Bruyne was very satisfied:

"Then it's a deal, and I'll see you at Old Trafford then!"

"Okay, see you at Old Trafford!"

The two have not seen each other for three months since the German Cup final.

Originally, De Bruyne thought that Lin Quan would stay in the Bundesliga, but he didn't expect him to come to the Premier League.

In this way, it is much less difficult for the two to meet, and they can even talk directly on the field.

However, when he thought of the scene of being broken through by Lin Quan in the team's training, De Bruyne was a little stunned.

I really don't want to meet this guy in the arena!

It's so hard to prevent!

……

On August 26, Lin Quan arrived at Old Trafford as promised.

As the second largest stadium in England, Old Trafford is huge, with a total of 76,000 seats.

Every time the Premier League and Champions League are played, Manchester City fans come from all over the world to watch the team play.

Unlike Manchester City, Manchester United's commercial development has been very successful, and their fan base is spread all over the world.

So every game, in addition to the fans in the UK, there are also a large number of fans from other countries who come to watch the game.

This is rarely seen in Manchester City!

Although Manchester City's players also come from all over the world, except for a few people who have a certain appeal and influence, the other players basically do not have the ability to attract fans to travel across the ocean to watch the game at the Etihad Stadium.

As a sworn enemy in the same city, Lin Quan did not want to expose his identity and attract the angry eyes of Red Devils fans.

So he chose to cover himself tightly, and specially put on a pair of sunglasses and a peaked hat as a disguise.

But after coming to the court, he found that there are still many people dressed up like this.

"Boss?"

"Negredo?"

"Is it really you?"

"Why are you here too?"

"I'm here too, not just me, Fernandinho and Keylor Navas!

Following the direction of Negredo's hand, Lin Quan saw a guy who was dressed up like himself and sneaky.

More than half of his teammates came!

And what made him even more speechless was that many of these guys, like him, chose to dress up in a trench coat with sunglasses.

Good guys, don't you want to be so unified!

No, you can't stay with these guys, a person dressed like this isn't eye-catching, but a group of people, that's too eye-catching.

He sent Negredo away, not daring to talk to the other party.

Taking advantage of the fact that the game had not yet started and the number of fans in the stadium was not very large, he quickly took off his trench coat outside.

After thinking for a moment, he took off his hat again.

Except that he can't take off his sunglasses, his disguise has basically gone for the most part.

In this way, he has become a fan of ordinary Asian faces, and he has become different from his teammates!

After doing this, Lin Quan breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't recognize me, right?

As a result, as soon as he found his place and sat down, he saw himself appear on the big screen of the scene.

The corners of Lin Quan's mouth twitched slightly, and he waved his hand at the camera stiffly, a little puzzled in his heart: How did he expose himself?
