Chapter 113: Surpass Messi, invincible Lin Huang!
Chelsea 2-1 Crystal Palace, Tottenham 0-5 Liverpool, Manchester City 6-7 Arsenal!
In this round, the top five teams scored a total of 20 goals......
This is still when Tottenham are not fighting for nothing.
Suarez, who scored 2 goals and 2 assists, and Lin Yun, who scored 3 shots and made a pass, once again became the focus of the entire Premier League.
One is like opening a hanging, and the other is really opening a hanging.
ββ¦β¦ There were rumours at the beginning of the season that Arsenal were planning to buy Suarez, and if the rumours came true, there might be no suspense about the Premier League title now.
Lin Yun scored his 86th goal of 2013 against Napoli in the last game, and has already surpassed Gad. Muller's annual record of 85 goals has unfortunately been broken by Messi, and the Arsenal striker can only rank second in the list of individual annual goals in the top five leagues.
After the hat-trick in this game, Lin Yun's goal tally has become 89, just two goals away from Messi's record - for him, it may only be a game or a half.
Breaking Messi's record is no longer Lin Yun's main goal at present, and his pursuit should be set higher, such as...... 100 goals of the year!
Arsenal still have the Club World Cup and two league games to play before the end of 2013, which is not an impossible goal for him, but an achievement close at hand.
Many people say that he is stained with the light of the World Youth Championship and the World Preliminaries, the World Youth Championship scored 15 goals, and the World Preliminary Tournament against San Marino is 6 goals in a single game, these 21 goals are the main reason why he can surpass Messi, but you must know that 8 of Messi's goals were scored against opponents like Bolivia, in addition, the Argentines also have goals in the 'secondary competitions' such as the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup.
If Lin Yun can break Messi's goal record and Messi's monopoly on the Ballon d'Or, then football history will undoubtedly enter a new era, an era of peerless pride..."
Because of the annual goal record, this Club World Cup has attracted far more attention than before, and it seems that it really has the meaning of losing world events.
According to the specifications, the Club World Cup is theoretically the world's number one football event, after all, it is a match that brings together the champion teams from several continents on the planet, but for well-known reasons, this event is far inferior to the World Cup and the Champions League.
In the "big treble" that people often discuss, everyone would rather put together the domestic cup competition with the Champions League and league championships instead of the Club World Cup, which shows the gold content of this event.
But no matter what, it's a champion or a world champion, and Arsenal still attaches great importance to it.
After a hard-fought win over Manchester City, Arsene Wenger took his full squad to the Club World Cup and arrived in the African country of Morocco.
According to the rules, the Champions League winner and the Copa Libertadores winner will go straight to the semi-finals, while the other teams will fight to the death to secure the other two semi-final places.
"At 0:00 on December 15, a key match of the quarter-finals of the 2013 Club World Cup was played at the Agadir Stadium in Morocco.
After 90 minutes of intense action, Asian champions Guangzhou Evergrande of China beat African champions Al Ahly of Egypt 2-0 to advance to the semi-finals, where they will face last season's Champions League winners Arsenal.
In the other quarter-final, hosts Casablancaraja defeated CONCACACAF champions Monterrey to face Copa Libertadores champions Atletico Mineiro in the other semi-final, where fans will be able to see former Barcelona superstar Ronaldinho in action......
Most of the players in the Arsenal team expressed regret for not being able to meet Xiao Luo, and only Lin Yun was interested in the upcoming Evergrande team.
In addition to the players, Wenger also has great expectations for this game, because Evergrande's coach is the silver fox Lippi.
The press conference before the game was mainly about the two coaches playing sympathy for each other, without the slightest smell of gunpowder.
'It's not easy to win the Champions League, but Lippi did it many years ago and he's now winning the Asian Champions Cup, which is a great achievement, Guangzhou Evergrande is very competitive under him, it's not an easy game to play, but Arsenal will do their best to win."
In the same year that Lippi led Juventus to the Champions League, Arsene Wenger led Japanese side Nagoya Whales to win the Emperor's Cup and the Japan Super Cup, and was voted the best coach of the year in the J-League before joining Arsenal.
Lippi was clearly aware of his experience and immediately quipped: "I know Arsene Wenger has also coached in Asia, but luckily he only coached there for a year before leaving, otherwise I would have become the second manager to win both the European and Asian titles." β
"Hahaha, it must be a fun experience......"
"Yes, it is indeed a very novel experience......
In the pre-match tunnel of the players, the atmosphere was actually similar.
Evergrande captain Zheng Zhi shook hands with Lin Yun and said with a smile: "Hello, should I call you Claude or Lin Yun?" β
"Speaking Chinese, I understand," Lin Yun said, "I rarely use the name Claude." β
Zheng Zhi nodded, "It's a pity, I had a chance to become a teammate." β
"Hehe," Lin Yun didn't know how to answer, so he could only smile casually, "Come on." β
"Thank you, and so are you."
"Friends and spectators, welcome to the Agadi Stadium in Morocco, where the match between Arsenal and Evergrande will be played at the highest level in Asian football and European football.
In the quarter-finals three days ago, Evergrande won thanks to goals from Ackerson and Conca, while Arsenal also won all three points in the league against Manchester City, so it can be said that both sides are in very hot form..."
Guangzhou Evergrande put on a 4-3-3 attacking formation.
Goalkeepers: 19 Zeng Cheng;
Defenders: 5 Zhang Linpeng, 6 Feng Xiaoting, 28 Jin Yingquan, 32 Sun Xiang;
Midfielders: 37 Zhao Xuri, 10 Zheng Zhi (C), 16 Huang Bowen;
Forwards: 11 Muric, 9 Exxon, 15 Conca.
Arsenal rotated on a small scale, with several players who played the full game against Manchester City sitting on the bench.
Goalkeepers: 21-Fabianski;
Defenders: 25 Jenkinson, 4 Mertesacker, 6 Koscielny, 28 Gibbs;
Midfielders: 8-Arteta, 16-Ramsey, 7-Rosicky, 9-Podolski;
Forwards: 12-Giroud, 11-Lin Yun. β
"The game is on, Arsenal kick off first......"
Not surprisingly, after kick-off, the game was basically played in Evergrande's half.
Arsenal came close to taking the lead in the first wave of attacks.
Ramsey crossed from the flank, Giroud leapt to the top and was cleared by Feng Xiaoting's header, and Lin Yun's volley from the left side of the goal went just over the crossbar.
After being knocked on the mountain, Evergrande's players finally recognized the reality and honestly followed the coach's instructions to play defensive counterattacks.
Lippi was born in Serie A, and there is no doubt about the level of tuning defense, and the Arsenal generals have a feeling that it is difficult to swallow for a while, and they can only patiently look for the gap of the opponent.
I don't know if it's because the game with Manchester City is too expensive, Lin Yun is a little out of shape today, and Arsenal's frontcourt mainly relies on Giroud to create a threat, which makes Evergrande's defenders relax their vigilance a little, and then quickly suffer.
In the 16th minute, Arteta made a precise prediction, cutting off the passing path of Huang Bowen and Muric, and passed the ball to Rosicky with one kick.
Rosicky played a wall-to-wall with Podolski and then quickly picked up a cross to the left side of the goal with the outside of his instep.
Feng Xiaoting only felt a flower in front of him, and Lin Yun, who was still behind him just now, didn't know when he had appeared in front of him.
He subconsciously reached out and pulled once, but only touched Lin Yun's back.
Sun Xiang immediately rushed over to make up for the defense, but before he could clear the siege, Lin Yun had already taken the lead in the volley.
ββ¦β¦ Rosicky made a long pass outside the penalty area, Lin Yun volleyed, and the ball went in! β
"In the 16th minute of the game, Lin Yun opened the scoring for Arsenal, and Evergrande's defense still couldn't stop him from scoring after all."
"Evergrande has tried its best, but there is still a clear gap in the strength of the two sides, this game is still based on learning......"
Lin Yun trotted to the sidelines, stretched out his right index finger, pointed to the sky, and scribbled the celebration.
Several of Evergrande's defenders looked at me and I looked at you, falling into an awkward silence.
The game continued, Arsenal was still in control of the tempo, 20 minutes passed, and Evergrande did not even get a shot on goal.
In the 21st minute, Zheng Zhi fouled Ramsey, and Arsenal won a free kick in front, but unfortunately Arteta hit the goal over the crossbar;
In the 25th minute, Arsenal penetrated in the middle, and Rosicky's powerful volley from inside the arc of the penalty area hit the crossbar and bounced back.
Evergrande struggled to hold up until the 30th minute with the help of the crossbar, and finally got a chance to counterattack, but Conca's shot was also denied by the post.
Mertesacker hurriedly cleared the siege, Lin Yun retreated sharply to receive the football, and immediately began to run long distances after parking.
Feng Xiaoting followed him like a shadow, Lin Yun didn't deceive him in the first change of direction, and he didn't bother to talk about martial arts, he directly ate it with speed and strength, and passed the ball diagonally to Giroud after bringing the ball to the front of the penalty area.
Giroud stomped the ball to his feet, paused before tapping it lightly.
Lin Yun ran without the ball to break through the defense and met the ball in the small penalty area.
The ball flew straight into the corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper did not react.
2-0.
βGOALοΌοΌοΌοΌ 91st goal of the year! Lin finally caught up with Messi's record! It's really horrible!
Messi started his career in 2003 and did not break Muller's 40-year-old record for individual goals in the top five leagues until 2012, a record that Lin Yun caught up with in the first year of his career!
There is only one goal left, and we are going to be witnesses of history! β
Lin Yun spread his arms, ran to the sidelines, and waved his fists lightly.
The crowd gave a standing ovation.
Giroud ran up and shook his arm around his shoulder, "There's only one ball left, why do I feel more excited than you?" β
"Because you're going to be in the best position in the world to see a new record being made."
"Oh, I swear, I won't blink an eye, just watch you tightly, waiting for that moment to come."
"Hopefully, I actually feel like I'm not going well with the wind today......"
"You don't come!" Giroud slapped him angrily, "Three shots and two goals, you tell me you don't have a good foot wind?!! β
"I mean...... feeling"
"The feeling of going to the mud horse! You must be kidding me! β
After falling behind by two goals in half an hour, Evergrande did not dare to demand victory, so it could only continue to defend and counterattack.
On the one hand, he is afraid that he will be beaten into a sieve by Arsenal like Manchester City, and on the other hand, he does not want to become the background board for Lin Yun to break the record.
Lin Yun was indeed not in a good state as he said, and he was a little sluggish in the following time, but in the eyes of others, there was another interpretation.
Some people think that he is merciful, but more people think that he wants to save the record until the final and then break it.
Messi's 91 goals of the year have only brought Barcelona a Copa del Rey title, while Lin Yun's 91 goals have brought Arsenal a Big Ears Cup and a UEFA Super Cup, as well as a World Youth Championship for England.
In fact, Mendes also suggested that if he was really sure, he would better break the record in the final.
More topical.
Of course, if it is to break the record on Evergrande, it is also not a small topic, but he did not score the third goal until the 60th minute of the game, and Wenger directly replaced him.
Cazorla, who came on as a substitute, soon helped Arsenal to the next goal, winning 3-0.
When exchanging jerseys at the end of the game, Zheng Zhi's eyes were still a little grateful, which made Lin Yun inexplicable.
"It's a pity that Evergrande still failed to create a miracle after all, and for the whole 90 minutes, they didn't even have a shot on target, whether it is in the Chinese Super League or the AFC Champions League, Evergrande has never been so suppressed by the opponent.
The other semi-final will be held at 3:30 a.m. BJ time on the 19th, against Atletico Mineiro and Casablanca, the winner will face Arsenal for the final title, and Evergrande will face the losing side to fight for the third place.
The best Asian team has achieved in the Club World Cup before was third place, and if Evergrande can win, it can still equal the Asian team's Club World Cup record......"
Three hours later, the results of the other semi-final were also in, with Atletico Mineiro losing a surprise to Casablanca.
Three days later, Guangzhou Evergrande lost 3-2 to Atletico Mineiro, and the final was played three hours later.
Compared with the 3-0 semi-final win over Guangzhou Evergrande, Arsenal made a number of changes to their starting line-up: Luka Modric, Wilshere, Theo Walcott and Sagna started in place of Rosicky, Ramos, Podolski and Jenkinson respectively.
Casablanca set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. β
Unlike Arsenal, who went straight to the semi-finals, Casablanca went all the way up from the preliminaries, and after eliminating Auckland City, Monterrey and Atletico Mineiro, both their form and confidence reached their peak.
And although the Champions League champion is a dick, judging from the results of the previous Club World Cups, the Champions League champion is not invincible, and there are also many overturns, so Casablanca still has some expectations for this game.
Unfortunately, the game was beaten back to its original shape at the beginning.
Arsenal, who were superior in quality, were firmly in control from the first minute of the game.
In the 5th minute, Wilshere sent a delicate through plug for Lin Yun, and Lin Yun successfully countered offside, but the one-handed ball rarely hit the goalkeeper, and Arsenal only won a corner.
Arteta deliberately drove the ball to the edge of the box, Wilshere headed it wide to the right, Giroud chested the ball and turned to shoot into the corner.
1-0.
In the 9th minute, Walcott received the ball on the left side in front of the small penalty area and did it with his heel, and Sagna followed up with a powerful low shot that was saved by the goalkeeper.
One minute later, Yajur cut into the right side of the box and fired a low shot that was easily met by Fabianski.
In the 17th minute, Wilshere went straight down the left and Modric cut into the box on the left to get past Ben Lamalem, but just when everyone thought he was going to hit the goal, he unexpectedly swept the ball to the other side of the goal.
Lin Yun ran at full speed, but the football still grazed his toes and rolled over.
"Modric didn't get up in the face of the goalkeeper, but chose to assist Lin Yun, but unfortunately Lin Yun was too far away from the goal, so I can only say that there are many good things......"
Lin Yun shook his head and said to the magic flute, "There's no need. β
"I would rather leave my mark on a great record than an inconsequential goal. β
"Be patient, it won't be long......"
It really wasn't long.
In the 36th minute of the game, the long-awaited scene finally arrived.
Lin Yun launched a long-distance run with the ball in the midfield, distributed the ball to the magic flute at the front of the penalty area, and then went directly into the penalty area.
Luka Modric dwelt with the defender for a few seconds and saw the right moment to play a pass with the outside of his foot.
Lin Yun struck out of the group of defenders, his body was in the air, his left foot stretched forward, and his shoe spikes hit the door.
Majin Flying Kick!
"Modric passed the ball with the outside instep, Lin Yunfei kicked the goal, and finally scored!
Let's remember this moment, on December 22, 2013, a new record was born!
With 92 goals in the year, Lin Yun surpassed Messi and set a new annual personal goal record in the five major leagues! β
"From February 2013 to December 2013, in just over 10 months, Lin Yun has grown from an unknown to a world-famous champion player, who has not only led Arsenal to create new history, but also entered the history of world football."
"42 games, 92 goals, three championships, of course, four championships, this is the report card that Lin Yun handed over in the first year of his career.
Lin Yun's parents probably never dreamed that the moment they sent Lin Yun to the Reading Academy, they would bring ...... to world football."
This is Casablanca's home stadium, but the fans all stood up and applauded Lin Yun at this moment, and even the Casablanca players on the field and the Casablanca coaching staff on the sidelines applauded him.
Lin Yun walked to the sidelines, and Rosicky, who was on the bench, walked out and handed him a jersey.
Lin Yun unfolded the jersey and held it high above his head, showing the "92" behind the jersey in front of everyone......
