Chapter 52 Home Wild Win, Media Collective Tout, Best Start in Premier League History!
"Stinky boy, I heard that you went to Belgium, did you go to accompany your girlfriend?"
Bosque didn't know where to get the news, so he made a special call to Lin Quan.
He did not call Lin Quan into the national team, considering that Manchester City's recent games have been too intensive, and he wants to take care of this guy and let him rest for a while.
As a result, he did not rest well at home, but ran around.
This made Bosque angry, and he was going to cancel the preferential treatment given to Lin Quan on the next FIFA match day.
"No, no, coach, listen to my explanation......"
"Explain what? Keep up your condition, if you can't get the World Cup next year, I won't clean you up! ”
Doot-to-to, Bosque hung up.
Lin Quan heard the blind voice on the other side of the phone, and was speechless for a while: Girlfriend?
De Bruyne?
Forget it, this kind of thing can't be explained, and the explanation will only get darker and darker.
Let's think about how to convince Pellegrini to buy De Bruyne during the winter break!
Why don't I let it off a bit in the next game and make Pellegrini realise that there are shortcomings in City's front line, and then take the opportunity to sell De Bruyne to him and make him think about it?
That's what he thinks, and that's what he does.
In the 12th round of the Premier League, Manchester City hosted Tottenham Hotspur, who are seventh in the league.
Tottenham's record in recent seasons is not weak, and it has been stable between 4-5 places, which is the strongest team under the championship group.
In the face of such a strong team, if you put a little water on your own, I am afraid that Manchester City's side will play very hard.
Then Pellegrini will naturally realize the seriousness of the problem!
However, what Lin Quan didn't expect was that Manchester City's luck was too good in this game.
Just 13 seconds into the game, Keylor Navas cleared the door for Tottenham with a slicing shot.
You know, he was at least 35 meters away from goal when he scored.
Not to mention that this goal made the whole Tottenham team stunned, Lin Quan was also stunned.
It's a not-so-good feeling!
His feelings were soon fulfilled.
Keylor Navas' fairy ball boosted the morale of the entire Manchester City team, and after the restart, a fierce siege was launched around the Tottenham goal.
In the 7th minute, Tottenham defender Sandro made a mistake and kicked the ball into his own goal when he cleared the ball.
In just seven minutes, Manchester City was already two goals ahead of Tottenham!
There is no suspense about the outcome of this game, the only suspense is how many of them can Manchester City win at home stadium?
Ninety minutes later, the answer was revealed.
Manchester City beat Tottenham 6-0 at home, handing the opponent the biggest single defeat in nearly 15 seasons!
The last time Tottenham lost so badly was back in 1997 when they faced Kevin Keegan's Newcastle side away.
At the end of the game, the stunned Tottenham players seemed to have lost their souls, and they all felt incredulous about the result.
Also unbelievable was Lin Quan, who saw the bright red number on the scoreboard, crossed his hands on his hips, and glanced at the Tottenham players with some anger.
Aren't you guys strong?
How did you get bloodbathed so easily?
If it weren't for their own intention, Manchester City would not have been able to set a new record for Tottenham's biggest defeat in history.
If Tottenham's players knew Lin Quan's thoughts, they would probably scold their mothers in their hearts!
Are your two goals and two assists in the water?
Fool the fools!
In response to the terrifying score played by Manchester City at home in this round of the game, the major media turned on the touting mode after the game and sang praises for them:
Sky Sports: "6-0!
Unbelievable score!
Manchester City ruthlessly destroyed Tottenham at home!
Prior to the Etihad Stadium, Tottenham had been the best defensive team in the Premier League this season, having conceded just six goals in their previous 11 games, but the Blues doubled their goal stats in one game!
It's unbelievable! ”
They used two unbelievable words, again in bold and black capital letters, to express their amazement!
The Guardian: "Manchester City have played 7-0 and 6-0 at home in two consecutive Premier League games, and the attacking power of the blue moon is terrifying!
And so far, Manchester City have won all their home games on all fronts this season, and the Etihad Stadium is definitely the most terrifying home stadium in the Premier League this season, there is no one!! ”
The Times: "After a hard-fought away victory, Manchester City responded with a hearty win and are still one of the best teams in the Premier League at the moment! ”
BBC: "Manchester City set a new Premier League record after beating Tottenham Hotspur at home, breaking the record for the best start to the Premier League set and held by Chelsea in 05/06.
The Madman led Chelsea to a nine-game winning streak in the Premier League eight years ago, winning 10 and drawing one from 11 games.
Their unbeaten run lasted until the twelfth round of the league before being beaten at home by Manchester United.
After this round, Manchester City will hold the record for the best start to the Premier League, with Chelsea relegated to second. ”
In the player rating session after the game, Lin Quan got a 10-point evaluation:
Lin was once again dominant, scoring two goals and providing two assists, and might have completed a hat-trick of goals and assists had it not been for his late desire to attack.
Sergio Aguero (9 points): In this game, Manchester City's striker continued his excellent performance, he scored twice and provided an assist, the Argentine and the team's core Lin Quan are getting more and more tacit, how to resist this killer pair, will be a headache for all teams in the entire Premier League!
Keylor Navas (8): The Spaniard may not have scored the most goals from beyond long range to equalling the record for the fastest goal in the Premier League this season, but he smashed Tottenham's stiff shell with a lightning strike to set the stage for City's big win.
Yaya Toure (8 points): As Lin Quan has been on the team for longer and longer, Yaya Toure and his new teammate have become more compatible.
Since giving Lin Quan an assist away at Chelsea, the combination between the two has gradually increased.
In this game, Yaya Toure, who was in the midfield position, not only provided an assist for his teammates, but also became an insurmountable iron gate in Manchester City's midfield.
Most of Tottenham's counter-attacks came to an abrupt end in front of him.
……
The team's record is good, and they accidentally set a new Premier League record, which caused the major media to be eager to blow them into the sky after the game.
Manchester City fans are naturally overjoyed by these touts, and even want the media to step up their efforts.
However, Lin Quan, the core of the team, is a little regretful.
It was an overly easy win that not only failed to reflect City's problems in midfield, but further overshadowed them.
This made him feel a little tricky about how to talk to Pellegrini and get De Bruyne to be brought in during the winter break.
Forget it, there is still more than a month before the winter break, so let's observe and observe!
Not long after the league ended, the fourth round of the League Cup began.
Manchester City travel to Newcastle this time around, considering they will be at home to their final home game in the Champions League in two days' time.
Manuel Pellegrini left most of his squad in Manchester, with only half of his squad and half of his substitutes.
It is worth mentioning that David Silva, who missed three months of competition due to injury, has already returned to the team to resume training before this round of games.
In order to help the other party recover as soon as possible, Pellegrini also brought him with him this time.
As it turned out, Pellegrini's decision was quite wise.
At St James' Park, home of the Magpies, Newcastle didn't know whether they were stimulated by Manchester City's massacre of Tottenham Hotspur, or inspired by Sunderland's previous home bus and almost drew with Manchester City.
When facing Manchester City at home, they also opted for the tactics of putting the bus in the box!
Facing the opponent's iron bucket formation, Manchester City, which lacked Lin Quan, fought hard for 90 minutes without scoring and was finally dragged into extra time by the opponent.
In extra-time, Manuel Pellegrini brought on David Silva, who immediately made a difference to City's attack.
His playmaking, passing and running seemed to add lubrication to a rusty machine, breathing life into City's attacking system.
As a result, Manchester City, which had been difficult to score before, scored two goals in 30 minutes of extra time and successfully advanced to the top 8 of the League Cup.
At the end of the match, Pellegrini came to two conclusions:
Manchester City's bench is not strong!
Manchester City can't live without Lin Quan!
This made Lin Quan feel a little relieved in his heart, as long as he could recognize the problems in Manchester City's midfield!
On December 2, the penultimate round of the Champions League group stage began.
Manchester City are challenged by their weakest opponent in the group stage, Viktoria Plzen.
Although Manchester City has already qualified for the group two rounds in advance, they dare not be careless about this game because there is still the suspense of competing with Bayern Munich for the first place in the group.
In this game, because the opponent was not strong, Pellegrini took the risk of putting David Silva, who had just returned from injury, into the starting lineup.
Obviously, he wants to help David Silva get back into form as soon as possible and try to integrate into the team's tactical system as soon as possible.
Plzen Victory obviously noticed this as well, so they took advantage of the psychological weakness of the average player who did not dare to do a fierce physical confrontation after a serious injury, and forced David Silva's side on the field.
Plzen has nothing to lose from winning all four games, and now they are just fighting for glory, so whether it is away or at home, they are very open and not conservative at all.
This mentality has made them perform a lot better than the previous time the two teams met.
In the first 30 minutes, City didn't get any good chances.
On the contrary, because David Silva subconsciously avoided the fierce physical confrontation, the opponent found some opportunities from him and completed several threatening counterattacks.
Because David Silva's side has become a weak link in Manchester City's defense, Lin Quan has to come over frequently to help him fill in and cover.
This has affected Manchester City's attacking momentum in the front line.
It's not okay to play like this, and the delay in scoring will affect the mentality of the players and boost the confidence of the opponent.
What's more, this is David Silva's first start since returning from injury, and if he messes up, the psychological impact on him may be huge.
Lin Quanke has not forgotten the care that the other party took care of him when he first came to Manchester City.
So, starting from 30 minutes, Lin Quan increased his personal dribbling time and the number of breakthroughs.
This will not only allow him to catch the opponent's defensive holes faster, but also reduce the dribbling time of his teammates, thus freeing them from the problem of being entangled by opponents.
Plzen Victory obviously didn't know enough about Lin Quan's individual combat ability, and gave him a chance when defending.
In the 33rd minute, Lin Quan completed consecutive passes with the ball, and was tripped by the opponent when he entered the opponent's penalty area, and Manchester City got a penalty opportunity.
As Manchester City's number one penalty taker, coupled with the need to compete with super scorers such as Ronaldo and Messi in the Champions League scorer list, Lin Quan will definitely take such a penalty kick himself.
Today, however, he conceded a penalty to team-mate David Silva.
"Lin, isn't that good? You need this goal to be a goalscorer, I don't need it, there's no need to give me a chance to score! ”
In the face of Lin Quan's kindness, David Silva was very moved in his heart, but he still refused.
It is enough for the opponent to have such a mind, and as for this penalty, he is really embarrassed to kick it.
For his first start after his comeback, David Silva was actually not very satisfied.
If he were to rate himself, he might not even have a passing score of 6 in this performance.
Even, if he hadn't been there to drag the team, Manchester City might have scored the lead.
"It doesn't matter, even if I don't have this penalty, it doesn't affect me from competing with others for the scorer list.
Go ahead, don't refuse, this is my gift to you, I hope you can use this Champions League goal as a sign of your return as a king, and get back to form as soon as possible! ”
Lin Quan said very sincerely, David Silva was very moved after hearing it, and finally nodded and did not refuse again.
The audience watching the live broadcast on the spot, in front of the TV and on the Internet, after seeing the referee award the penalty, Lin Quan did not take the penalty point, but humbled each other with David Silva.
This surprised the fans:
"What is Emperor Lin doing here? Why not take the penalty yourself? ”
"It looks like he's trying to give up his chance to David Silva, right?"
"Really? With such a good chance to score, does Lin Huang actually want to let it out? ”
"It doesn't look like it's fake!"
"He's really, I'm crying to death!"
"Lin Huang's character is really not to say, if I were his teammate, if I met such a peerless teammate, I could sell my life to him!"
"Having said that, Lin Huang only has 5 Champions League goals now, and Manchester City is estimated to not go far in the knockout stage, and it is estimated that it will be a little difficult for him to compete with Messi Ronaldo for the Champions League Golden Boot!"
"That's hard to say, the gap between him and Messi, Ronaldo and others is not big, if he doesn't let this penalty, then it will be 2 goals away from Ronaldo!"
"It's okay not to, in this case, there will be no penalty in Lin Huang's goal, and the province will be caught by others to blacken this!"
"Indeed, a goal without a penalty is not the same as the nature of a penalty!"
