Chapter 72: Lin Quan officially joins the Mero controversy, and the third pole of football is born!
Because it was a friendly match, both teams played more relaxed.
The players' defense is basically eye defense, giving everyone the opportunity to show each other and show off their skills in front of the fans.
In the 3rd minute, on the side of the Maradona team, the god of war Batistuta showed a long shot.
Although he has been retired for many years, the long-range shooting skills of the god of war look like they are not old, and the quality of the ball is very high, and it goes straight to the bottom edge of the goal crossbar.
Buffon was well prepared and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand to defuse the crisis.
Although the goal was not scored, the fans at the scene still gave him applause.
After all, it is indeed not easy to maintain such a state after so many years after the God of War retired.
It was Ronaldo's turn to counterattack, and after Lin Quan dribbled past Zanetti on the wing, he sent a cross and handed the ball to the feet of the alien Ronaldo.
Ronaldo's body shape is a bit out of shape, and his form has also dropped a lot.
He stepped on the ball when he received it and almost fell.
Fortunately, Nesta and Cannavaro held him up in time, otherwise, with his current weight, there is a real possibility of injury in such a fall.
Ronaldo thanked the two of them, and then made an apologetic gesture to Lin Quan.
He was in a hurry for this ball and wanted to stop it, but he didn't expect that his state was far worse than before, and he almost took a ball cart.
Ronaldo just ran out of the vacancy, but seeing Lin Quan pass the ball to Ronaldo made him feel a little depressed.
It's like you're playing a turn-based game, you attack one turn, I attack one turn.
In the 13th minute of the first half, Maradona scored first.
Messi broke through on the left and passed to Ronaldo, who sent a through kick that broke through Ronaldo's defence and assisted Messi to complete the goal.
After Messi's goal, Ronaldo celebrated with Messi on his back again, just as Messi did when he first joined the Barcelona first team.
Seeing this scene, many Barcelona fans couldn't hold back their tears.
Messi's goal completely aroused Ronaldo's desire to win, and he couldn't bear to be left behind, especially by his old rival Messi.
Feeling Ronaldo's desire to score, Lin Quan also passed a few more kicks to his feet when he was instigating the attack.
Ronaldo's ability to grasp the score is really good, and Lin Quan gave him the third straight stopper, which assisted him to complete the goal.
Cristiano Ronaldo looked very excited after scoring the goal and ran to the corner area to perform his trademark SIU celebration.
Unfortunately, this is Camp Nou, and most of the fans who come here to watch the game are Barcelona fans, and these fans not only did not give Ronaldo a round of applause, but also booed him.
This made Ronaldo's mood a little depressed.
Fortunately, Lin Quan ran over to high-five him to celebrate, alleviating his embarrassment.
After the two teams scored separately, the pace of the game began to increase and the number of goals began to increase.
In the 22nd minute, Zidane scored another goal with a free kick to help Ronaldo's team achieve a reversal.
Maradona immediately changed their colours, Xavi sent a precise through ball after getting rid of Gattuso's interception in midfield, and Messi broke through the interception of Stam and Carlos with the ball, and smashed the ball with his heel to Ronaldo.
Xiao Luo easily pushed the goal, and the two teams played to a 2:2 draw.
Subsequently, Lin Quan also completed a breakthrough on the side, and after passing Mateus and Zanetti in a row, he just handed the ball to Ronaldo and was elegantly destroyed by Nesta.
Nesta's tackle was very clean, and Ronaldo was a little out of temper.
However, although Nesta completed the destruction, Maradona's defense obviously couldn't prevent Lin Quan.
In the 35th minute, Pirlo saw an opportunity at the back and sent a long ball from a long distance to find Lin Quan, who was moving on the wing.
Lin Quan immediately cut inside after receiving the ball, facing the defensive line formed by Nesta and Cannavaro, he used the super high frequency and rhythm change of his feet, as if he had blocked the older Cannavaro, and then grabbed the ball sideways before Nesta put the tackle and avoided his tackle.
After passing the opponent's two defenders, Lin Quan entered the penalty area and got the opportunity to go head-to-head with Neuer.
Neuer had been waiting for this moment for a long time, only to see him kill out violently and pounce towards Lin Quan.
It's a pity that Lin Quan was a little puzzled and actually passed the ball back to Ronaldo.
The alien easily smashed the ball into the empty net and scored his first goal of the game.
After scoring the goal, the alien celebrated the goal with the signature finger wagging gesture.
For the alien, who is almost 40 years old, it seems that scoring goals is not difficult either.
Cannavaro pulled Nesta up from the ground, and the two looked at each other, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Lin Quan's passing just now was a bit unreasonable, the two did not make a mistake in their defensive position, but they just couldn't prevent each other.
"If I were ten years younger, I might be able to guard against this guy, but now I definitely can't!"
The 40-year-old Cannavaro glanced at his slightly bulging belly and said with some regret.
Nesta nodded, for defenders like them, playing against top scorers is the best way to improve their defensive capabilities.
It's a pity that Lin Quan on the opposite side is like the rising sun, thriving, and they are like an old sunset, and the peak is not there.
There is no way to face such a fierce opponent in the best condition, which makes both of them generally feel a little regretful in their hearts.
Wouldn't it be nice to be ten years younger?
……
At the end of the first half, Maradona temporarily trailed Ronaldo 2:3.
In the second half, the two sides began to make a large number of substitutions.
Although the intensity of the first half was not very high, there were a large number of retired players in the teams on both sides, including veterans who were over 50 years old like Matthaus.
It's too much of a burden on their bodies to have them play the whole game, and it's not good in case they get hurt.
With the departure of the veterans, most of the players on both sides have become active professional players.
This made the pace of the game a lot faster, and the content of the game became more exciting.
In the 48th minute, Messi, Neymar, Iniesta and others collided with the wall in succession, and assisted Neymar to score a goal after entering the penalty area.
Maradona stubbornly equalised.
In the 53rd minute, Neymar broke through on the side and assisted Messi to score another goal.
Maradona reversed the score and temporarily led Ronaldo's team 4:3.
Seeing Messi score another goal, Ronaldo couldn't sit still.
He began to reach out frequently to ask for the ball, but the opponent's defense against him was very tight, and Lin Quan couldn't find too good passing opportunities.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure wearing the number 22 jersey striding forward.
Lin Quanfu came to his heart, sent a ball over the top, and handed the ball in front of Kaka.
The ball was passed very well, giving a certain amount of advance and Kaka could receive his pass without slowing down.
The Son of God is back at the San Siro Stadium at this moment, back to the peak of six years ago!
Kaka ran faster and faster, leaving the defenders far behind.
In the face of the attacking Neuer, Kaka did not continue to dribble forward, but shot directly with his feet.
The ball flew past Neuer's outstretched leg and into the net grazing the lawn.
After scoring this goal, Kaka pointed to the sky with both hands, and in the thunderous applause of the scene, it was as if he had returned to the night in Istanbul, and if he could have run a little faster that day, maybe everything would have been different, right?
Kaka didn't forget Lin Quan, who gave him an assist, he took the initiative to run to Lin Quan's side and hugged Lin Quan warmly.
"Thank you, Lin, for your ball pass!"
"You're a good runner, Kaka!"
"Hehe, if you don't mind, you can call me Ricardo."
Kaka was also substituted soon after the goal, with Alex Ferguson bringing on Kevin De Bruyne.
"Well done, lad!"
Ferguson gave Kaka a hug as he came off.
Although he has never coached Kaka, he has always admired this hard-working, disciplined and elegant young man.
"Thank you, sir!"
Kaka smiled shyly, in 2009, Kaka had an affair with Manchester United.
With Cristiano Ronaldo decided, United are trying to bring Kaka to Old Trafford.
But the transfer ended up stillborn, and Kaka went to Real Madrid with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Today, the lord can be regarded as fulfilling a dream he once had, and coached Kaka once, although Kaka at this time is no longer at his peak.
In addition to fulfilling the dream of coaching Kaka, for Ferguson, the biggest gain today is actually coaching Lin Quan.
Watching Lin Quan play as a spectator or even an opponent in the stands is completely different from watching him play as a head coach on the sidelines.
When Ferguson brought into the role of Manchester United and regarded Lin Quan as an opponent on the field, he hated Lin Quan so much.
But when the other party is under his hands, Ferguson just wants to say: what a fragrance!
It turns out that the team he coached has a player like Lin Quan who is so cool?
He can play almost all positions in the frontcourt, he can shoot and pass, he can be called all-round.
With him on the field, the offense becomes very simple, just pass the ball to him!
Ferguson is cool, but Maradona on the opposite side is not happy.
Dry!
It turns out that the opponent's team has a player similar to Messi who is so difficult to deal with?
How do you feel that our Messi is not as good as the other Messi?
It must be that I didn't use it the right way!
After the fiasco in the World Cup that year, Maradona also has points for his coaching ability.
Although he is really good at football, when he is in charge of the team, he is not very strong, otherwise he would not have been swept out of the game by the German team.
So Maradona began to observe carefully, wanting to learn a little experience from the old-timer Ferguson and see how the other party used Lin Quan.
It's just that after observing for a while, he found that he couldn't understand something.
I feel that Ferguson didn't arrange any special tactics for Lin Quan?
Ferguson saw that Lin Quan played very smartly on the field, and he would choose to play the game with the most comfortable and helpful way for the team, which made him speak highly of Lin Quan, so he didn't plan to intervene artificially.
If Ferguson doesn't make a move, Maradona will naturally not learn much.
In fact, it is not only the head coaches of the two teams who have discovered Lin Quan, who is becoming more and more active on the field, but Messi has also noticed this.
This is the first time that Messi has played directly with Lin Quan in the game, although he has watched Lin Quan's games on weekdays, and has found his own shortcomings and shortcomings by observing the opponent's games, so as to grow and improve in learning.
However, the feeling of watching the video of the game and playing against the opponent in person is completely different.
After he really got on the field, he realized how difficult the other party was.
Whichever way Lin Quan launched the attack, the side roads along that way were basically scrapped.
Messi is not a person who easily admits defeat, and he was aroused by Lin Quan's outstanding performance.
His teammates soon discovered that Messi's little universe seemed to have exploded.
"It's just been a good time since I returned from injury, it's just a friendly match, is it so serious?"
Seeing Messi's all-out attitude, club teammate Busquez couldn't help but complain to Xavi.
If he is injured because of this game, then Barcelona really want to cry without tears.
"For Messi, maybe it's an opportunity to rekindle his fighting spirit and help him get back to the peak of 2012."
Xavi has watched Messi grow up little by little, and he feels that after Messi won almost all the honors, Messi's forward momentum has weakened a lot.
Despite the impact of injuries, Messi's performance last season and 2012 can be described as a cliff-like decline.
It's hard to say why there isn't a lack of slackness in mentality, after all, the chasers behind him, even another person who is called the peerless duo, can hardly pose a threat to him.
But the appearance of Lin Quan gave Messi a sense of crisis.
This is the first active player to reach the same level of skill as him!
The opponent's ball quotient is not lost to Messi, the mentality is even better, and the physical fitness is obviously better than Messi.
Messi has been injured a lot, but the opponent seems to have steel and iron bones, and under the strangulation of the Premier League's group of defenders, he can't get hurt.
The impact of this strong quality is that Lin Quan's performance is very stable, his state has basically not declined, and he is even getting stronger at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
However, Messi seems to be stuck, the peak period stayed in 2012, and the improvement last year and this year are relatively limited, and the data has dropped a lot because of injuries.
If this continues, Messi feels that he will soon be surpassed by the other party.
And with the other party's stable state, once it is surpassed by the other party, it may be difficult to overtake it back.
Therefore, Messi must regain his peak form from now on in order to defend his current position.
After Messi got serious, there was a very interesting scene on the field:
Lin Quan blew up the left side of the Maradona team or the Barcelona team.
And Messi was on the other side, and the Ronaldo team was also defeated.
When the Barcelona fans who came to watch the game cheered for Messi, they were very surprised by the performance of Lin Quan in the opposing lineup.
Although they had long known that Lin Quan's strength was very strong, they didn't expect it to be so strong.
The opponent's performance does not seem to be inferior to Messi at all, and even because of his better physical fitness, he has more advantages in physical confrontation with defenders, and his performance is even better than Messi.
This made Barcelona fans feel mixed in their hearts:
This originally belonged to our Barcelona players!
Damn Enrique, damn Russell!
If these two guys hadn't driven Lin Quan and Pep Guardiola away, then our Barcelona would probably still be sitting firmly on the throne of the Cosmos team, right?
If we had Lin in our team last season, how could we be slaughtered 7-0 by Bayern?
Seeing that Messi and Lin Quan were fighting against each other, Ronaldo was also a little unwilling to be lonely.
In the 76th minute, he carried the defender on his shoulder, like De Bruyne, who was about to pass to Lin Quan.
De Bruyne was not familiar with him, so he ignored his request directly, turned around and passed the ball to Lin Quan.
When Lin Quan received the ball, he saw that the player who was marking Ronaldo was attracted to him, so he made a gesture to go down, but knocked the ball back to Ronaldo in the process of dribbling the ball.
This pass was very sudden, Lin Quan didn't look at Ronaldo's position, and in the process of moving forward with the ball, he used the inside arch to complete the pass.
can complete this kind of pass, I am afraid that there are only two people in this world, him and Messi.
Ronaldo didn't expect Lin Quan to complete such a pass, why did he carry it with him, and the ball came to his feet?
Didn't you see him stop or turn around halfway?
Can you complete such a pass without a pause, is this still human?
Ronaldo was shocked, but his movements were not slow at all.
He dodged Pique's top tackle and shook off some angles before volleying hard.
When this goal was hit, he didn't watch the goalkeeper's position, but after finishing the shot, Ronaldo felt it.
Sure enough, Neuer's defensive focus was completely on Lin's body, and he never expected that it was Ronaldo who hit the goal in the end.
And Cristiano Ronaldo's clean shot also left him with not enough time to prepare for the save, and the hasty save failed to save the team.
Ronaldo scored another goal and Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace.
Although he was booed once, Ronaldo still insisted on completing the SIU celebration.
Seeing him run to the sidelines to celebrate like this, De Bruyne couldn't help but pout.
The goal just now was all thanks to Lin's pass, not to mention Ronaldo in that position, I can do it too!
Ignoring the boos of the fans at the scene, Ronaldo took the initiative to run to Lin Quan, hugged him and asked:
"Lin, how did you pass that ball just now?"
"I don't know, I feel like I'm in that position, and it's passed like that!"
Lin Quan actually had a flash of inspiration, and really asked him to copy it again, but it really didn't work if he didn't do it.
"Okay!"
said so, but Ronaldo made up his mind in his heart, and when he went back, he would sort out this videotape, so that Modric could watch it and study hard!
If Modric can learn this trick, it will be easier for him to eat at Real Madrid in the future.
Ronaldo, who scored two goals, was replaced by Ferguson in advance, although Ronaldo felt that he was still unsatisfied, he still wanted to continue to cooperate with Lin Quan.
But there are still people on the bench who haven't played, waiting to show their faces on the field!
So he had to go down and rest!
Alvaro Morata was replaced by Alex Ferguson, and so far, Ronaldo's side has all the players on the side.
In the 88th minute, Lin Quan's breakthrough caused a foul on the opponent, and Ronaldo's team won a free kick in front.
Lin Quan did not choose to take the ball himself, but gave up the opportunity to his teammates.
The players on Ronaldo's side all looked at Juninho Jr.
He is a recognized free-kick master in football, and he is the strongest one, there is no one.
Since there is a chance for a free kick, everyone naturally chooses to leave it to him to deal with.
Juninho Jr. didn't shirk either, he stood in front of the football and estimated the distance to the goal.
Then choose to use your signature S-shaped free kick to hit the goal!
Juninho Jr. is a master of free-kicks, his kick is of great quality, the initial velocity of the ball is extremely fast, and the trajectory in the air is still erratic, at first it is obviously to the left, but when it reaches the goal, it suddenly flies to the right.
This kind of left and right trajectory seriously interferes with the goalkeeper's judgment.
Neuer couldn't do anything about the goal, he tried his best to save it, but the ball was so weird that it flew into the net in the end.
There was thunderous applause from the audience, and the fans collectively stood up to give Juninho Jr. a round of applause and cheers.
He is the only one in the whole football world who can kick a free kick to such a miraculous level!
At his feet, the free kick felt like it was about to turn into a penalty!
In the end, the game was over, and Ronaldo's team won against Maradona with a score of 6:4.
Neuer was a bit frustrated, and he was conceded six goals in this game, almost breaking his own career record for conceding goals.
The good news is not nothing, the opponent he cares about the most, Lin Quan, did not score in this game.
Neuer didn't know if he had failed or succeeded this time.
Although Lin Quan did not score, he gave four assists in this game, and almost every goal was directly related to him.
After the game, Messi found Lin Quan and wanted to exchange jerseys with him.
Lin Quan did not refuse, and happily agreed to Messi's request.
The reporters at the scene recorded this historic scene with their cameras, which was the first time the two met on the field.
But after this match, the number of encounters between the two will gradually increase.
At this moment, Lin Quan seemed to have truly joined the competition of the peerless duo and became one of them!
After exchanging jerseys, all the players involved in the game, including the coaches of the two teams, took a group photo in the center of the stadium, and then went back to their respective homes to find their mothers!
