Chapter 202 Reversal and red card!(1/2)
Author: Xue Niao
When Lin Quan completed the steal, Manchester City's frontcourt players immediately launched an attack forward.
Aguero ran diagonally in front of Lin Quan to the right, pulling CSKA Moscow's defensive formation and taking away a defender at the same time.
Navas ran in a deep direction, dragging down the opponent's full-back so that he could not step forward to press Lin Quan.
Javi Garcia acts as a protection point behind Lin Quan. If the forward attack cannot be beaten, he can at least pass it back to the midfielder to let him control the rhythm to avoid being counterattacked by the opponent.
After a month or two of adjustments, Manchester City's frontcourt offensive tactics have become very rich and reasonable.
But even so, Lin Quan still has a defensive player beside him.
Although in the first twenty minutes, Lin was completely unremarkable and did not show the super strength of a top star.
But the CSKA Moscow players still didn't dare to be careless, because the coach specifically told him before the game not to give this guy any chance.
However, they only sent one person to defend Lin Quan, which was a bit too disrespectful!
Without any fancy moves, Lin Quan easily passed the opponent with a fried meatball that was almost at its peak.
Seeing that his teammate was being passed, CSKA Moscow center back Ignashevich had to step forward to intercept Lin Quan. The opponent had already reached the line of the penalty area. If he did not attack, he would give the opponent a chance to shoot from a long distance.
However, as soon as he grabbed the ball, the space behind him was immediately revealed.
Lin Quan decisively passed the ball across to Aguero, and he shook off Ignashevic's entanglement and headed into the penalty area.
Aguero understood the situation and sent a through ball, passing the ball behind the opponent's defender.
The two cooperated very well, and Aguero's pass just caught up with Lin Quan's movement.
Lin Quan received a pass from his teammate when no one was guarding him, took a shot and scored the ball easily.
The score became 1:1, and Manchester City quickly tied the score.
"GOAL!!! In the 24th minute of the first half, Lin Quan helped Manchester City equalize the score!"
"This goal is purely Lin Quan's personal strength. In the duel with Honda Keisuke, Lin Quan relied on his strong physical confrontation ability to steal the ball. After Manchester City stole the ball in the frontcourt, they counterattacked on the spot. The football passed twice
After the pass, it flew into CSKA Moscow's net. Manchester City's attack was smooth and concise!"
"Haha, Keisuke Honda probably didn't expect that Lin Quan's physical resistance is so strong!"
"Yes, Lin Quan is much shorter than him, and he doesn't look like a strong player on the outside, but Keisuke Honda seems to have forgotten that Lin Quan is a super shooter who has proven himself in the Premier League.
If his physical confrontation ability was very poor, how could he score so many goals under the defense of those wolf-like defenders in the Premier League?"
"So, the Japanese really chose the wrong opponent this time!"
The two commentators' criticism was mild, but the fans were not merciful at all.
"You idiot Japanese, you really think you can compete with Lin Huang, and you don't even think about what level of player you are!"
"Lin Huang can eat up Premier League defenders alive. If this guy is released to the Premier League, he will probably be kicked out by defenders in less than three games!"
"This idiot, I feel sick every time I see him dyeing his hair yellow!"
"Haha, this is the same skin as Colonel's military uniform, why not just call him Colonel!"
Fans don't like Honda Keisuke. In addition to his Japanese identity, it is also related to his love of marketing and hyping himself.
Moreover, the way young players do one thing in front of others and another behind their backs is also very criticized.
Compared with the criticism from Chinese fans, in Japan, every Japanese fan who watched this game couldn't help but exclaimed!
"Si Guoyi, Lin Sang is so awesome!"
"Is this what the world's top players are like?"
"It turns out that the physical resistance of yellow people can be so strong. It seems that it's not that yellow people can't do it, but that we can't!"
"When will our country have a strong man like Lin Sang?"
The Japanese have a very serious mentality of being strong. For those who are stronger than them, they can lick you to the point of doubting your life!
Counting previous matches against Shinji Kagawa in the Premier League, Atsuhito Uchida in the Bundesliga, and this game against Japanese players such as Keisuke Honda, Lin Quan won all of them, and it was an overwhelming victory.
So the Japanese were completely convinced. While the Koreans were still researching that Lin Quan had Korean ancestry, they had already begun to worship Lin Quan and even planned to establish Lin Quan's Japanese fans support association...
…
After Manchester City equalized the score, the situation on the field changed a lot.
Manchester City, who are in improved condition, have basically adapted to the rhythm of the game in this cold weather.
As a result, they began to gradually exert their strength and launched round after round of attacks on CSKA Moscow's goal.
In the 35th minute of the first half, Lin Quan broke through from the wing and cut inside to shoot.
The ball was saved by the goalkeeper, and Aguero, who followed up, appeared in front of the goal like a ghost and pushed the ball into the goal.
Manchester City reversed the game 2:1.
Manchester City's offensive was not over, in the 45th minute, the last minute of the first half.
Manchester City got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt, and Lin Quan's free kick hit the dead center. The goalkeeper was powerless and could only watch the football fly into the goal.
The score was rewritten to 3:1!
Seeing that the opponent had completely gained momentum, they scored three goals in a row in just over 20 minutes.
The hearts of the Moscow fans at the scene were already half cold, and the loud singing was gone.
The voices that had been mocking the Manchester City players before disappeared, and even when the Manchester City players celebrated wantonly at their home court, they forgot to boo each other.
CSKA Moscow fans have been completely stunned!
In the second half, the side changed sides and the game resumed. Manchester City still continued the offense of the first half.
However, under the opponent's strict defense, Manchester City did not expand the score.
In the 65th minute, just as Pellegrini was about to make a substitution.
It started to rain lightly.
The rain was not heavy at first, but soon it gradually turned from light rain to moderate rain.
Although it is not winter yet, the temperature in Moscow at night is already close to zero degrees Celsius.
Raining at this temperature is more uncomfortable than snowing.
And what’s even worse is that it was windy at the scene!
The rain fell on them and wet their jerseys. When the cold wind blew, the Manchester City players shivered with cold.
What they feared most before the game happened!
Within five minutes, the Manchester City players on the field could not stand the cold.
Especially goalkeeper Hart, who kept jumping up and down in front of the goal to keep his body warm.
Don't wait until your body freezes and you can't make a save when someone else shoots, then you're finished!
If it is before the game, you can apply to postpone the game in this case.
But now, the time has come to half past nine in the evening.
The suspension of the game at this time is likely to be delayed until late at night or even tomorrow.
Instead of doing that, it is better to bite the bullet and finish the last few dozen minutes. In that case, the consumption of the team will be smaller.
"Continue to substitute?"
The assistant coach looked at Pellegrini and asked.
"Well, let Negredo go out and warm up and get ready to play!"
Pellegrini originally planned to replace three players at once, but now he does not dare to do so.
He was not sure whether the opponent would take advantage of the rain to launch a counterattack against Manchester City, so he did not dare to replace too many players at once.
If they were equalized by the opponent, Manchester City would be at a huge loss.
The rainfall in Moscow in October is not low, so their players encounter this situation more often.
Seeing Manchester City's players shivering from the cold, CSKA Moscow's morale immediately returned!
"Haha, my opponent was frozen into a fool!"
"This is a good time for us to launch a counterattack!"
"Come forward and defeat them. We are going to reverse the situation and get three points!"
The morale of the players was greatly boosted, and everyone became eager to try.
Manchester City's players have not completely lost their form at this time and can still withstand the opponent's attack.
It's just that the field became a lot slippery after it rained, and the heat was lost too quickly and the body was frozen. They didn't dare to make big moves, and their defensive ability dropped a lot.
In this case, in order to prevent the opponent's attack, they had to adopt defensive tactics.
In the 67th minute, Yaya Toure knocked down CSKA Moscow midfielder Zuber and received a yellow card.
Five minutes later, Zabaleta pulled down the opponent's forward outside the penalty area and also received a yellow card.
To be continued...
