Chapter 106: Fake Falls and Penalties

After a moment, Guardiola stood up and looked at the pitch with a nervous expression.

In the same mood as him, there is also the head coach of the Spanish national team, Bosque, who came to watch the game.

It is less than two months before the opening of the World Cup, Lin Quan is the absolute core of Spain, if he is injured, how will Spain play?

In the dugout at Manchester City, Manuel Pellegrini was in the same mood.

Lin Quan is also the core of Manchester City, if he goes off the field due to injury, then Manchester City's offensive system in the front court will collapse directly, and they will have no possibility of reversing this game.

"It's so hard!"

In the coach's seat of Real Madrid, seeing Lin Quan who was tackled and the football that rolled into the Real Madrid goal, Ancelotti sighed.

A player as desperate as Lin Quan on the field, he hasn't seen it for a long time!

The Real Madrid fans who booed Lin Quan all the way also shut up at this time.

Although they are opponents, they are also moved by the opponent's fighting spirit, and they have no choice but to continue to boo.

"Alas, this guy is handsome, capable, and has good ball quality, and he is still working so hard, it's a pity not to come to our Real Madrid!"

"Yes, if it was Lin who transferred to Real Madrid last year, let alone this year's Champions League, we all have the ability to rush to the Champions League in the next ten years!"

In the Manchester City penalty area, after diving, he howled miserably for a long time, seeing that no one paid attention to him, Di Maria stood up casually, and then saw the scene where his captain shoveled down Lin Quan.

Although almost the entire stadium was separated, seeing that impactful scene still made Di Maria's heart tighten.

If you were to be shoveled down, you would feel like your leg was going to be broken!

On the field, Manchester City's players rushed to Lin Quan one after another, concerned about his injury.

Manchester City's team doctor quickly came on the field to check Lin Quan's injury.

Lin Quan's teeth were clenched, and his forehead was sweating profusely.

Casillas kicked him to the bone, and he felt like he was going to pass out in pain.

Fortunately, the talent of injury immunity prevented him from being injured, leaving only a sharp pain, otherwise the consequences would not be so simple!

Manchester City's team doctor thought that Lin Quan was seriously injured, but after some examination, they were all relieved.

Lin Quan's injuries were much milder than they imagined.

Thinking that Lin Quan had also had this situation in other competitions before, they could only explain it with his talent, and couldn't find any other reason.

Just like some people are born glass people, and some people are rarely injured, this kind of thing is related to physical fitness!

Although they made such a judgment, they still didn't dare to be careless, and planned to carry Lin Quan down on a stretcher, and carry out swelling and analgesic treatment and further observation on the sidelines.

On the sidelines, Pellegrini called in Negredo, ready to put him on the field to replace Lin Quan.

However, at this moment, he saw Lin Quan limping to his feet and refused the team doctor's suggestion to let him rest on the sidelines.

He gestured to Manuel Pellegrini to show that he could continue to play.

Pellegrini was stunned for a moment, glanced at the numbers on the scoreboard, nodded to Lin Quan, and gestured, if he couldn't hold on, he would apply for a substitution as soon as possible.

Manchester City fans who came to the away stadium saw Lin Quan standing up and chose to continue fighting.

They collectively stood up and gave Lin Quan a warm applause.

"Lin, you don't have to fight so hard, it doesn't matter if you lose......"

"Yes, Lin, taking care of your body is the most important thing!"

"Woo, I'm so moved, how can I have such a dedicated player in Manchester City?"

"This is not a matter of dedication and dedication, Lin Quan continues to play like this, and he will definitely become the spiritual totem of Manchester City!"

Seeing Lin Quan limping towards the middle circle and preparing to kick off, Real Madrid's fans also burst into sporadic applause.

Although Lin Quan's goal made them smell danger, the opponent's tenacious fighting spirit and fighting spirit still made them feel very admired.

"Lin, is your injury really okay?"

Passing by Real Madrid's half, Xavi Alonso asked with concern.

Although the two are rivals in this game, they are teammates in the national team.

Xavi Alonso is worried that Lin Quan's insistence on the injury will worsen his injury, which will affect his participation in the World Cup.

"It's okay, it's hard, it's just a little painful, just slow it down!"

Xavi Alonso took a look, and there were really no obvious signs of injury from the outside, but I hope it's okay as he said!

Lin Quan's goal made the score 2:1, and the aggregate score was also equalized to 4:4.

The score still has some advantages for Real Madrid, as they have one more away goal than Manchester City.

If this score is maintained until the end, it will still be Real Madrid who will advance.

However, this is the Bernabeu, how can Real Madrid curl up for three points?

There is no such reason!

So, after the restart, Real Madrid launched another onslaught towards Manchester City.

Although Di Maria loves to fake falls, his ability is still very good.

With Modric frozen, Real Madrid relied on the assists of two full-backs to force two wings.

At this time, Di Maria will frequently pull the side and the players on the wing to cooperate with each other, not only to provide them with fire support, but also to open up the defenders in the middle, creating conditions for teammates to insert back to attack.

In the 81st minute of the game, Di Maria burst through and forced a shot into the penalty area that was confiscated by Joe Hart.

Two minutes later, in almost the same position, the Argentine came again, but this time he opted to pass the ball to his team-mate.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema are both reaching for the ball, and comparatively speaking, Benzema is in a better position.

But Di Maria chose to pass the ball to Ronaldo, who called Ronaldo the boss of the team?

Ronaldo was in a bit of a hurry, and a burst shot sent the ball to the stands, making Di Maria roll his eyes.

If I had known this, it would have been better to pass it on to Benzema!

Benzema put down his hand for the ball and shook his head helplessly.

If you don't take the initiative to fight for the status of the team, you will never get ahead, unless you can get rid of all these big guys.

But he is only two years younger than Ronaldo, and even two years older than Bale, relying on his daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law, I am afraid it will not work.

Forget it, at our level, let's be an honest green leaf, if you want to be the boss, it is estimated that you can only go to that kind of midstream team.

It's better to go to the midstream team than to stay in Real Madrid, after all, it is easier to get more results in Real Madrid, and as long as there are no major changes in the team's squad in the next few years, it can impact the Champions League many times!

Seeing Di Maria so active, Yaya Toure began to increase her guard against him.

However, the Argentine slipped like a loach and was only brought in the second half, so his fitness was better than Yaya Toure.

So he doesn't get entangled with Yaya Toure, he always kicks the ball out or catches it on the run and then quickly hands it over again.

This style of play, which is constantly running and constantly changing positions, makes Yaya Toure's defense very difficult.

If it had been the first half, he would have locked down Di Maria, but it was more than 80 minutes, and it was almost the end of the game.

Yaya Toure, who has run all the time, is really a little unable to run!

Di Maria was keenly aware of this, and in the 87th minute, he pretended to run back, and after the deceived Yaya Toure followed, he suddenly accelerated, shook off Yaya Toure and turned back.

At the same time, the ball from a teammate was passed.

Yaya Toure was a step slower and couldn't keep up with Di Maria, and was driven into the box by his opponent.

Demichelis rushed over to intercept Di Maria, but was cut through the crotch.

Di Maria stabbed the ball a little wide, the football was slightly out of his control, and just when he felt that he had smashed the game, he felt someone pull him behind his back, so he immediately screamed and fell to the ground.

Beep!

The whistle blew and the referee pointed to the penalty spot.

Demichelis felt very wronged, and when he turned around, he shook his hand and touched Di Maria, and the other party fell as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.

This is a fake fall!

The referee couldn't see it clearly, and Di Maria screamed badly, so he ignored Demichelis's appeal and insisted on his decision.

Ronaldo didn't care so much, he came to the penalty spot with the football in his arms and prepared to take the penalty.

He was Real Madrid's first penalty taker, and although the goal was made by Di Maria, Di Maria was not qualified to take the penalty.

Di Maria was pulled up by his teammates and retreated to the outside of the box, giving Ronaldo a somewhat indignant look.

It was a penalty I made, so why can't I take it?

I haven't scored in this game yet!

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't care so much, he didn't score a goal, and he urgently needed a penalty to open the meat.

Besides, Lin Quan and I are competing for the Champions League Golden Boot, what's the matter with you kid?

How many goals have you scored?

Ronaldo was already missing Lin Quan's goal, but Lin Quan scored again in this game, and the gap between the two widened to 2 goals.

Seeing that there are only a few games left in the Champions League, if the gap cannot be narrowed as much as possible, it may be difficult to catch up with Lin Quan in the final.

Since ancient times, the final has not been nameless, under the temptation of the championship trophy, the final will be played more conservatively, the score will not be too exaggerated, like the Istanbul miracle a final of 6 goals in the game, in the history of the Champions League can be said to be rare in decades.

If Cristiano Ronaldo scores this goal, he will be able to close the gap between the two to one goal.

In this way, in the final, if he can score another goal, he will be able to catch up with Lin Quan.

As for surpassing Lin Quan, it seems to be difficult at present, and the hope is very slim!

Joe Hart was bouncing around in front of goal, trying to interfere with Ronaldo and put psychological pressure on the opposition.

But Ronaldo also has a big heart and he has a high success rate in taking penalties.

So, in the game between the two, the simple Joe Hart was deceived not to be wanted, he saw Ronaldo's step point and judged that the opponent was going to play the upper left corner, but after the save, he found that the opponent played the middle.

If he didn't save the ball, he would have been able to block it by standing still and doing nothing.

It can only be said that Ronaldo is a master of art and bold!

After Ronaldo's goal, he ran to the sidelines, leaped high and made his trademark celebration.

In the last game at the Etihad Stadium, he was booed by a crowd of Manchester City fans.

But this time, at the Bernabeu, he received enthusiastic applause and cheers from more than 80,000 spectators.

Well, that's how it feels!

This feeling of being watched by everyone, the focus of the audience, and everyone cheering for me!

Cristiano Ronaldo enjoyed the feeling!

Real Madrid's players rushed to Ronaldo and hugged him excitedly.

Cristiano Ronaldo's goal made it 3-1, and with only a few minutes left on the game time, Real Madrid could be said to have stepped into the final with one foot.

City's players were a bit frustrated, and conceding a goal at this point in time was a heavy blow to morale.

Everyone's physical decline is very serious, and at this time they rely on one breath to hold on, but Real Madrid's goal is like a needle stuck in a balloon, which makes them breathe.

"It doesn't matter, just one goal!"

Lin Quan fished out the football from the goal, walked over, comforted his teammates and said:

'Even if they don't score, we need to score at least one goal, and now that they've scored, we only need one goal!'

Hearing Lin Quan's words, the eyes of the Manchester City players lit up.

That's right!

If they score one more goal, they will level Real Madrid on away goals.

Then you can play overtime!

Before Real Madrid scored that goal, if City scored another goal, they could qualify for the final on goal difference.

After Real Madrid scored this goal, if Manchester City scored again, it could only tie the gap between the two teams, and the two sides would have to play extra time or even a penalty shootout!

Thinking of this, the Manchester City players suddenly regained their morale and rekindled their fighting spirit one by one!

Real Madrid has nothing to fear, fight with them!

The game restarted, and the Real Madrid players were still immersed in joy, but they suddenly found that the Manchester City players on the opposite side had red eyes one by one, like enraged bulls, rushing towards them!

Although Pellegrini's substitution adjustment has been criticized by Guardiola, the replacement of Kroos has left Manchester City without the core of the playmaker in the midfield position, and without the person who threatens the ball.

De Bruyne is a good passer, but he is too high up the pitch and can easily be restricted.

This is also the reason why Manchester City's attack lacked threat in the second half, and it could only rely on Lin Quan to create chances with his personal strength.

However, the addition of Fernandinho has hardened Manchester City's midfield.

Once he had settled into the rhythm of the game, he and Yaya Toure had set up two iron gates in defence, allowing Real Madrid to lock up almost all of their attacks from the middle.

In the 89th minute of the game, seeing that Angel Wings was too sticky to the ball, Fernandinho decisively stepped up and snatched the ball back from Di Maria's feet with the cooperation of his teammates.

Nearby Real Madrid players immediately pressed him to regain possession and stop City's counter-attack.

Fernandinho only had time to glance at the direction where Lin Quan was, and then kicked the ball forward with all his might!

Rush, Lin!

This goal is very similar to the long pass rushing tactics that Manchester City played Barcelona before, which is to kick the ball to the front to find their own striker with a big foot in the backfield.

Real Madrid obviously watched that game, so they were all surprised to see Manchester City play this tactic.

If this allows Lin Quan to receive the ball, then the back line is in danger!

He must not be given a chance to catch the ball!

This is the consensus of almost all players in the backfield of Real Madrid at this moment!
