"Winning with difficulty, the decline of the world champion is fully revealed!" 》

"Although defeated, the uncrowned king has a bright future!" 》

……

On the plane back to Manchester, Lin Quan saw media coverage of the warm-up match between Spain and the Netherlands.

Just seeing these titles, Lin Quan was already a little speechless in his heart.

Winning together is not as good as losing?

However, although the headlines in the media are exaggerated, the content is not entirely without merit.

They believe that Spain's current squad is indeed strong, and even if the departure of veteran players such as Xavi, Alonso and Villa has not weakened Spain's fighting power.

But they are not too optimistic about the Spanish team in a few years' time, especially the 2018 World Cup in Russia, which will be held in three years' time.

The replacement of the old and the new is a fate that no team can escape, and Spain is no exception.

So no matter how strong their combat effectiveness is now, it doesn't mean that they can always be strong.

If these young players behind cannot effectively replace the old players, then the countdown to the decline of Spain can already begin.

There are many strong teams in Europe, and there are also many strong teams with a large number of young talents, such as the Netherlands and France, which are among the best.

If the quality of Spain's young players is not as good as these national teams, even if they have thighs like Lin Quan in the team, they can't bring four pits with one god!

Cristiano Ronaldo and future Erling Haaland have proven this time and again in their respective national teams, football is really a team game.

Lin Quan remembered that the performance of the Spanish national team in the World Cup a few years later was really not good, and even in the 2022 Qatar World Cup, it couldn't even qualify from the group.

However, he can't help the national team with the lack of talent, after all, he can't conjure up a group of Mbappe and Haaland out of thin air for Bosque to use.

Therefore, it is up to Bosque to find a way to solve these problems.

……

On April 4, the 31st round of the Premier League kicked off.

Manchester City and Chelsea have won against their respective opponents, and the score gap between the two teams has not changed.

The most surprising match in this round was the match between Arsenal and Liverpool.

In this strong conversation, Arsenal won 4-1 against Liverpool at their home stadium.

Arsene Wenger's side finally got tough, and they won a big win in a long time in a very beautiful matchup.

Not only that, but after winning this game, Arsenal moved up one place in the standings, overtaking Manchester United with a one-point lead to third place in the league.

Considering that their direct rivals for the top four, Liverpool are now only on 54 points, a full nine points behind them.

For Arsenal, who are fighting for a fourth, this victory basically declares that they have landed safely, and the fourth has been successful!

"It is worthy of the four crazy demons, every time there is a critical moment to protect the four, Arsenal can always burst out with unimaginable combat effectiveness!"

"Poor Liverpool, this season the league and the Champions League are miserable, captain Gerrard is leaving, alas, I really don't know when the Red Army will rise!"

Reds fans are worried that the team is showing no signs of improving.

After selling Suarez, Liverpool's attack has gone in big trouble this season, and Rodgers' magic is gone.

They have become the most easily kneaded existence among traditional wealthy families.

This season, Liverpool have lost nine games so far.

On average, you have to lose one game in three games, and this kind of record can't be compared with other giants at all.

With Brendan Rodgers likely to leave next season and Steven Gerrard leaving, where can Liverpool find such a loyal captain and who can they find to take over the reins of the team?

Despair!

In another country across the sea, Dortmund fans also feel extremely desperate.

In this round of the league at home against Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, Dortmund lost again.

The Hornets, who were able to beat Bayern to win the league title in previous seasons, have completely collapsed this season's record.

With this defeat, Dortmund are one step away from the relegation zone.

So far this season, no one thought that Dortmund would be hard to find a win and fall to the point of relegation.

The magic of the legendary coach Jurgen Klopp seems to have run out.

Borussia Dortmund are even more problematic in the squad, with rumours rife that key players such as Hummels, Gundogan and Reus will leave at the end of the season.

After the exodus of the likes of Gotze and Lewandowski, such rumors have caused huge concern for Hornets fans.

They are really afraid that these rumors will come true!

The team has fallen to such a field, if stars such as Reus choose to leave the team again, where will Dortmund go next season?

Could it be that this former king is going to be relegated to the Bundesliga to sink?

However, at this critical moment, Reus stood up, publicly stated that he would stay with the team, and quickly arranged for his agent to negotiate a contract extension with the club.

Reuss's agent, Walker, wants him to think twice about leaving Borussia Dortmund's leaky ship and playing for a better team.

However, Reuss has made up his mind, and Volker's persuasion has been fruitless, so he can only renew his contract with Dortmund on behalf of Reus.

Reuss's contract extension has injected a shot in the arm for Dortmund fans to find a glimmer of light in the darkness.

However, just when the Hornets fans were excited, their head coach Jurgen Klopp approached the president of the club and handed in his resignation letter to the club.

"Jurgen, are you leaving Dortmund?"

Dortmund's chairman, Reinhard, was surprised to see Klopp's letter of resignation.

Although Dortmund's record this season is not good, Klopp's credit must not be erased.

Since he took over Dortmund in 2008, he has created a champion division with a distinct tactical style based on Dortmund's squad.

Under his leadership, the Young Janissaries won two Bundesliga titles, one German Cup, two German Super Cups, and a Champions League final in 2013.

During this time, Dortmund can compete with the Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich, and even overpower the opponent.

It was one of the most exciting and memorable moments for countless Dortmund fans.

And most of these accolades are due to the head of Klopp as a coach.

Now, he is actually resigning.

"Yes, Mr. President, I have been physically and mentally exhausted by the poor results and the team's sluggish form this season, and I think I need to take a break and it is not suitable for Dortmund to continue coaching Dortmund for the time being."

Klopp said frankly.

His honesty made Reinhard a little silent for a while, and he couldn't say the words he had thought of to save him.

"Well, we'll seriously consider your resignation, let me ask you more, if you're leaving, will you stay in the Bundesliga?"

Borussia Dortmund was brought out by Jurgen Klopp, and no one in the entire Bundesliga knows the team better than him.

If Klopp stays in the Bundesliga, it will definitely not be a good thing for Dortmund.

As if hearing the other party's concern, Klopp smiled and said:

"I'm going to change the environment, recharge and accept some of the more avant-garde and advanced tactical concepts in football."

Reinhard breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that he would not stay in the Bundesliga.

"So, is your next stop in La Liga?"

In recent seasons, La Liga's teams have not only been strong, but also often innovative at the tactical level, and at one point led the way in football.

However, to Reinhard's surprise, Klopp's next stop was not La Liga.

"It's not La Liga, I'm going to go to the Premier League!"

Speaking of the Premier League, Klopp's dim eyes burst into bursts of light.

Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho, two of the most popular coaches in football are in the Premier League, so how can he be absent from this event?

……

On April 12, the 32nd round of the Premier League began.

Manchester City will travel to Old Trafford for a Manchester derby against local rivals Manchester United.

In a game of this nature, both teams have always gone all out, and there is no possibility of releasing water.

However, Manchester United don't need to be distracted by European competitions, they can concentrate on the league.

Manchester City, on the other hand, have a Champions League match against Juventus in front of Torino on April 15, which will inevitably affect their line-up.

Pep Guardiola will be hoping to end the suspense of the game as soon as possible with a fierce attack in the first half, so that he can replace his main players and give them more rest to prepare for the Champions League in three days' time.

However, the scheming Van Gaal seems to have seen through Guardiola's intentions.

He actually lined up with a back five in the Manchester derby at Old Trafford, setting up a bucket formation and vowing to defend to the end.

Compared to the chaos at the beginning of the season, after most of the season's adjustments, Van Gaal's control of Manchester United has improved a lot.

United's defence was much more solid than it had been at the start of the season, and throughout the first half, City struggled to find the back of the net.

In the second half, it was easy to play again, and I thought that Manchester United would defend as much as in the first half.

If that's the case, then City may be looking for a draw to reduce their physical exertion.

Although the draw would stretch the gap between them and Chelsea to three points, City have the advantage on goal difference.

If Chelsea lose the next game, they will be able to overtake them on goal difference.

However, Van Gaal's choice once again surprised City.

After the start of the second half, Manchester United frequently launched attacks on Manchester City, not only not conservative, but extremely aggressive.

This made Guardiola on the sidelines feel a little stunned, he didn't expect Manchester United to rush out to fight Manchester City!

The teams that play against Manchester City usually die miserably.

Since the other party is looking for death, Manchester City will naturally not show mercy.

So, Guardiola waved his hand, and Manchester City immediately opened up the fight and attacked the opponent.

Inside the stadium at Old Trafford, the first half of the game was almost drowsy.

However, when they saw that the two sides had a sudden change in the style of play in the second half and started to attack, they all became excited, and the cheers and cheers gradually became louder.

Under the fiery derby atmosphere on the scene, the attacking tempo of both sides was fast, and both sides were red-eyed.

In the 51st minute of the second half, Lin Quan took the lead in completing the goal after receiving a pass from his teammates, rewriting the score to 1:0.

It was his fourth goal at Old Trafford, where Lin scored a hat-trick and left behind a world-famous painting of a vertical collar touring the pitch on his last visit.

Lin Quan's goal reminded Manchester United fans of the painful memories of last year!

This time, however, United were not so quick to surrender.

In the 59th minute, Ashley Young scored to help Manchester United equalise.

The two sides returned to the same starting line, but both teams were unhappy with the result and the attack continued.

In the 67th minute, Manchester City took the lead again, and Sergio Aguero received Kroos's through ball and scored, and the score became 2:1.

This time, however, United equalised more quickly.

Just a minute later, Manchester United scored 2-2 thanks to Fellaini's long-range shot from Manchester City!

The continuous goals on the field in a short period of time made the fans who came to the scene cover their chests, and the excitement was a little unbearable.

The mood of the fans of the two teams is like a roller coaster, flying to the top for a while, and falling to the bottom for the other......

However, the attack of both teams is not over!

In the 73rd minute, Chris Smalling scored another goal to give United the lead for the first time.

In the 79th minute, Mata's goal changed the score to 4:2!

The Old Trafford stadium was completely boiling, and the Red Devils fans hugged each other excitedly.

There are still more than ten minutes left in the game, and they are leading by two goals, basically sealing the win!

They finally beat the damned Manchester City and can finally get their revenge on last year's arrow!

It wasn't just the average Red Devils fan who was thrilled, but even former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, who came to watch the game, stood up excitedly and slapped hard to applaud Mata and the Manchester United fans who were doing their best in the game.

However, sometimes rejoicing too early doesn't seem like a good thing!

Manchester City were not crushed, they wanted to play this game and didn't want to consume too much.

But the game has been played to this extent, and if you don't want to consume, you have already consumed.

That being the case, the result of losing is absolutely unacceptable!

Pep Guardiola is also very bold, he began to make substitutions, replacing Kroos, replacing the young N'Golo Kante, and strengthening the midfield interception!

The substitution worked wonders in the game that followed, as the under-regarded black youngster came on and joined his team-mates to forge an insurmountable wall of sighs in midfield.

He made tackles again and again to bring Manchester United's attack to an abrupt halt.

On the other hand, thanks to the continuous steals at the back to get the ball, Manchester City's attacks have increased a lot.

This gives their strikers a steady stream of shells!

In the 85th minute, N'Golo Kante intercepted and passed to De Bruyne, who sent the ball to Aguero's feet with precision from a 45-degree diagonal cross.

The latter fired a powerful shot to make it 4-3, leaving City just one goal behind.

In the 89th minute, it was Kante again, and after he completed the steal again, he took the ball up and passed the ball to Lin Quan.

Lin Quan received the ball and shook it past the defender, burst into the penalty area to one-on-one with the goalkeeper, and scored the ball, and Manchester City equalized before the end of the game!

Although it was Sergio Aguero and Lin Quan who scored goals, both attacks had a lot to do with Kante.

Manchester United fans at Old Trafford had 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by:

What kind of evil is this?

How can you grab it so much!
