Chapter 12 The youngest Ballon d'Or in history, the favorite for the Ball King!
"The youngest Golden Globe in history is born! 》
"The 2014 Golden Globe Awards were announced, and Lin Quan was elected with 68.7% of the votes! 》
"The peerless Shuangjiao can be renamed the peerless Sanjiao!" 》
After Lin Quan won the Golden Globe Award, major media did not hesitate to report on his award-winning news.
This Golden Globe Award is extremely high in gold and very little controversial.
Among the three selected, Lin Quan's vote rate is close to 70%, the second-ranked Ronaldo has less than 20% of the votes, and Messi is only more than 10%.
This is perhaps the least controversial Golden Globe Awards in the past 20 years.
Moreover, this is the first time that a young player under the age of 20 has won the award since the establishment of the Ballon d'Or.
Lin Quan, who is still more than 19 years old and has only turned 19 years away, has greatly broken the record of the youngest person set by Da Luo before.
In 1997, when Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or for the first time, he was only 21 years old.
And Lin Quan raised this record by a full 2 years!
This record has no one before it, and I am afraid there will be no one to come.
It's hard for an 18-year-old to get a consistent chance to play in the first team, let alone win the Champions League and the World Cup as the heart of the team!
Before Lin Quan completed this feat, no one in the entire football world had thought about these at all, because in everyone's inherent cognition, this kind of thing could not happen at all!
However, the impossible happened.
As a result, people naturally think of the original football king - Pele!
He also became famous at a young age, participated in the World Cup at a very young age, and led the team to win the championship.
Lin Quan's script now is almost exactly the same as Bailey's back then.
Therefore, many people believe that Lin Quan is likely to become a new generation of football kings like Pele back then!
"This subclass of me, I think Lin will become the king of the ball sooner or later!"
After such rumors reached the ears of the football king, Pele himself stood up and expressed his optimism, saying that he was very optimistic about Lin Quan.
believes that Lin Quan is as good as him, and sooner or later he will be crowned as the new generation of football kings.
However, Maradona, another champion, was not happy.
"Yes, I am also optimistic that Lin Quan can become a new generation of football kings, but I don't agree with Pele's words, Lin Quan's style is obviously closer to me!"
Although there are some conflicts between the two football kings on local issues, both of them agree that Lin Quan will become the football king sooner or later.
This has made the majority of fans full of interest!
"The two champions of the ball stand on the platform, and I ask who else?"
"Hehe, Lin Huang is not yet 19 years old, and he already has so many honors and achievements, and it is not too surprising that the two football kings are optimistic about him being crowned king!"
"I don't think so, Bailey is a crow's mouth, he said so, Emperor Lin was probably lost by milk!"
"I can't say the same, Pele predicted that Spain would win the World Cup, and this prediction was correct!"
"Even if you don't believe Pele's prediction, then Maradora's prediction should be believed, right?"
"Indeed, in addition to the level of leading the team, the polo king is still very good at seeing people!"
"It's too early to say that, right? Lin Quan is not yet 19 years old, which is too young.
Once a young player has a huge injury, it is easy to cause his form to plummet, in case he is just a flash in the pan, then this football king will definitely not be able to be! ”
"Bah, why don't you say something good? Lin Huang has rough skin and thick flesh, and he is very durable, how can he be injured so easily? ”
"Although Lin Huang's current injuries are relatively few, but injuries are indeed a huge hidden danger, as long as Lin Huang can maintain his current state and is not affected by injuries, it is only a matter of time for him to be the king of the ball!"
……
After winning the Golden Globe Award, Lin Quan became more low-key.
He didn't get involved in the outside controversy from start to finish, but went back to the team, trained hard and kept himself in better shape.
As more and more key players return from injury, Guardiola has more and more players at his disposal.
However, he did not give up the idea of using the winter break to bring in reinforcements and strengthen the team.
On January 17, Manchester City sat at home to take on Arsenal Arsenal.
Since Manchester City received funding from the Abu Dhabi consortium, they have won more than they lost against Arsenal.
In the first half of the season, Manchester City came back from behind to win over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
So in the face of the Gunners' challenge, Manchester City are not nervous.
Compared to the game against Arsenal, the next game away to Chelsea is more worthy of their attention and vigilance.
Chelsea have always been difficult to play at home, having gone unbeaten in 86 consecutive home games.
It's a big headache for any team at Stamford Bridge.
When Manchester City visited Stamford Bridge last year, they were once cornered by Chelsea.
Had it not been for Lin Quan's stunning late kick to equalise, they would have been the devil of Chelsea's sword.
Therefore, this game against Arsenal was used by Guardiola as a preview of the game against Chelsea.
He put some of his whole work and scientific research in this competition.
This move angered the Arsenal players!
What do you mean?
Do you use us as experiments and look down on people?
The tiger is not powerful, you are a sick cat when we are!
Arsenal, who are soaring on the road to the fourth place, is quite terrifying!
It took only 34 minutes in the first half, and with Cazorla's pass and shot, Arsenal actually led the defending champions 2:0.
This result was beyond everyone's expectations, and the Manchester City fans watching the game at home held their heads in disbelief, and some wondered if their eyes were wrong, and the score was reversed, right?
A small number of Gunners fans who came to watch the game on the road were also a little incredulous about the result.
What's the situation?
I, Nana, is this going to be a hero?
Actually leading defending champions Manchester City by 2 goals away from home?
Is this true?
The other party is a team that has just won the seven crowns, and there is the best winner of the Golden Ball Award in the team, and the team that will be the future champion!
On the sidelines, when Giroud received an assist from Cazorla to score the second goal, Professor Wenger clenched his fists with excitement and trembled.
This season, after other teams have invested heavily in strengthening the team, Arsenal have faced even more difficulties.
They have a terrible record in the head-to-head matchup, with Arsenal having struggled to win against Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea this season, picking up just one point against Liverpool.
Facing the poor results of strong teams, Arsenal fell out of the top four in the table and are now struggling to achieve their goal of retaining the top four.
The win would not only give them three valuable points, but also end Arsenal's embarrassing record of not beating the defending champions on the road since 2002.
After the joy, Wenger forced himself to calm down.
It's not time to celebrate with champagne, the first half is not over yet, and they face defending champions Manchester City!
Manchester City are a very strong team and they also have players like Lin Quan who can change the tide of the game on their own.
The slightest mistake could wipe out the lead they now have.
……
In the dugout at Manchester City, Pep Guardiola was a little unable to sit still.
In this game, he made some changes to the team's lineup and formation, which led to a decrease in the team's interception ability in central midfield.
At the back, the absence of Yaya Toure and Kroos' recent return from injury and not yet at his best have affected the quality of the midfield.
Arsenal played really well in this game, and their passing and cutting coordination was not only gorgeous, but also very tacit, and there was a feeling of being unguardable.
In particular, the attack launched through the two flanks exposed the weakness of Manchester City's rib defence.
However, the most important thing should be that the midfield failed to win, Cazorla was too active in this game and did too many things in the danger zone.
Thinking of this, Pep Guardiola made a bold adjustment, moving City's back line forward, putting captain Kompany in the back and acting as a scavenger for the defenders.
At the same time, he also made some adjustments in midfield, allowing the two wingers to adduct, increasing the number of midfielders, opening up the wide passage at the front of the half, but setting up two interception lines on the inside.
Arsene Wenger, who was next door, couldn't help frowning after seeing Guardiola's adjustment.
Why did Pep Guardiola make such an adjustment?
With the two wingers adducted, it became easier for Arsenal to attack from the wings, and it was by attacking from the wings that Arsenal opened up the game in this game.
Isn't Guardiola's doing so tantamount to actively exposing Manchester City's soft belly to Arsenal's butcher's knife?
What kind of ghost tactics is this from the other party, I don't understand!
Since you can't understand it, let's observe the situation for the time being and see if you can talk about it!
Arsene Wenger's hesitant on-the-spot command has been repeated, and at this time, he will either defend solidly or seize on the weaknesses exposed by the opponent to fight to the death.
This kind of situation in which the other side makes adjustments, but the other side does not move, is the worst option.
Because he ignores that his team is a group of young people whose mentality is the most vulnerable.
Arsenal is invincible in the world, but Arsenal under the headwind has almost no ability to turn the tables, let alone away!
Pep Guardiola's tweaks soon paid off, and in the 43rd minute of the first half, City smashed the ball from Cazorla's feet in a crowd of people in midfield.
After the break was successful, Fernandinho quickly handed the ball to De Bruyne, who then passed to Lin Quan.
Because Manchester City's two wingers were adducted, they were very close to Lin Quan at this time, and when Lin Quan dribbled the ball to Arsenal in the half, they could respond and cooperate with Lin Quan.
This made Arsenal's players hesitate a little, and did not choose to pack and force Lin Quan in the first place.
Lin Quan's dribbling ability is too strong, and if he passes the ball out if the pressing fails, Arsenal's defense will immediately have holes.
But the question is, if they don't send many people to rob Lin Quan, how can they stop Lin Quan's advance?
The answer is, there is no way to stop it!
Ramsey and Koscielny rushed towards Lin Quan and were passed one after another, and Lin Quan broke into the box with the ball.
The attention of Mertesacker, Monreal, Bellerin and others was all attracted by Lin Quan, and almost all rushed towards Lin Quan.
However, Lin Quan did not choose to shoot himself, but knocked the ball to the other side of the penalty area, and Navas, who was inserted after the assist, completed the goal.
City pulled a goal back quickly to make it 1-2.
After the goal, Navas and Lin Quan rushed into the goal together, and the two reached for the ball almost at the same time.
"Let's go, while there is still time in the first half, let's score another goal!"
Seeing Navas's movements, Lin Quan gave the ball to him, patted the other party's shoulder, and said to him.
"Well, that's exactly what I mean!"
Compared with Manchester City, whose morale was boosted, the Arsenal players looked a little restless after conceding the goal.
There was nothing worth mentioning in City's attack, which was to take advantage of the transition between attack and defence to launch a counter-attack.
But the Arsenal players, who felt the opponent's attack throughout the whole process, couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in their hearts.
City's attack was too fast and concise, and they only made three passes in the whole attack, all of them forward, and then scored.
As long as Arsenal can limit one of the exit points, there is a good chance that the goal will not be conceded.
On the sidelines, Professor Wenger's brow furrowed into a Sichuan character.
He clenched his fists to his lips and couldn't help but think about how to deal with City's counterattack.
In this attack just now, these two passes from De Bruyne and Lin Quan were the most crucial.
Lin Quan, in particular, is not only responsible for delivering the final lethal pass, but also with the task of advancing quickly with the ball and helping his teammates attract the attention of the opponent.
From near the centre circle to their own penalty area, the Arsenal players forced the opponent to take almost 30 meters away.
It was an unacceptable mistake and as long as someone fouled him or stopped him, City's attack would not have been successful.
It's just that how difficult is it to restrict Lin Quan?
Don't Real Madrid and Barcelona know how much of a threat Lin Quan is?
They knew, but they couldn't stand Lin Quan either.
So Wenger just glanced at Lin Quan and quickly got rid of this unrealistic idea.
He looked at De Bruyne.
This kid's passing threat is getting bigger and bigger, and the attack just now was also his first key pass.
If he could be contained, City's attacking threat might not be so great.
Thinking of this, Wenger immediately made adjustments and strengthened the defence against De Bruyne.
The change quickly paid off, with De Bruyne taking the ball and passing the ball noticeably less.
However, the situation does not seem to have changed in any way.
It's even worse!
After De Bruyne was seen dead, another person stepped forward, and that person was none other than Kroos, who had not performed well before!
In first-half stoppage time, Manchester City once again seized on Arsenal's attacking error and launched a counter-attack on the spot.
Kroos received Lin Quan's return pass on the edge of the box and fired a long-range shot through the Arsenal goal for the second time.
Manchester City scored twice in the space of a few minutes and made the Arsenal players doubt their lives.
For Arsenal's players, City's goal is as simple as eating and drinking.
The lead they had worked so hard to build was wiped out in a matter of minutes.
This makes them wonder if we can really beat the mighty Manchester City.
When Arsenal's players start to doubt themselves, it means they may be collapsing.
In the second half, Manchester City continued to make persistent efforts, threatening Arsenal's goal again and again with sharp attacks, but Arsenal's counter-attack completely lost the spirit at the beginning of the first half.
Without the combination of spirituality and creativity, it is impossible to penetrate Manchester City's defence.
At the end of 90 minutes, the score on the scoreboard was fixed at 5:2!
Arsenal were led by two goals, but Manchester City scored five goals in a row, regrettably conceding three points that should have been securely won.
After the game, some fans took photos of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger falling while riding the subway in Manchester.
In the photo, the silver-haired Wenger is holding a suitcase in his hand and falls to the ground.
Two subway security guards are lifting him up from the ground.
After this set of photos was announced, it immediately aroused heated discussions on the whole network.
"I feel sorry for the professor, it looks like he fell very hard!"
"Alas, I guess I was in a bad mood after losing, and the ground was too slippery, so I fell!"
"Gun fans are in tears, they can lose like this, it's really uncomfortable!"
"The professor is also old, in a few years, the black hair has completely turned into white hair!"
"He has paid too much for Arsenal, sacrificed too much, if he were to be coached by another team, he would never have so many troubles!"
"The professor is in this state, and I feel that I can't last for a few years, such a gunman is really desperate, and I can't see any hope!"
