Chapter 174 Exchanging jerseys with Guardiola

"This boy!"

After seeing Aguero score, Guardiola slapped his bare forehead in annoyance!

He knew that Lin Quan and his teammates did not cooperate well, so he only had to send people to restrict Lin Quan and Silva.

Lin Quan himself also knows that he and his teammates do not cooperate well, and Silva will most likely be restricted.

Therefore, the strategy he discussed with Silva was to use Silva as a cover to attract Guardiola's attention, and then have Silva cover his teammates to complete the attack.

As a result, in addition to Lin Quan and Silva, a third person unexpected by Guardiola appeared.

Guardiola missed this point!

"I was tricked by this kid!"

After understanding this, Guardiola shook his head mockingly.

If he was teased like this by others, he might be a little angry, but when he thinks that the other person is his son, Guardiola can't get angry anymore.

Not only am I not angry, but I also have a sense of accomplishment:

You brat grows up very fast, even your father is being teased by you!

As expected of my son!

However, Guardiola was not prepared to let Lin Quan lead the team to reverse the situation. He made substitution adjustments, replacing Franck Ribery with Badstuber, adding a midfielder to further strengthen the defense.

Manchester City's third point.

Moreover, substitution at this time can also serve the purpose of delaying time, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After Badstuber came on, Bayern's backcourt became very tough.

Not to mention Manchester City's offense threatening the penalty area, it is difficult to penetrate their midfield.

Finally, the battle ended in ninety minutes.

Bayern defeated Manchester City 3:2 at home and won the Audi Cup.

There was a very interesting scene after the game. Lin Quan walked to the sidelines, hugged Guardiola, and asked him to exchange jerseys.

Guardiola was stunned for a moment and pointed to his suit:

"You brat, are you attracted to this suit of mine?"

It is common for players to exchange jerseys between players, but it is very rare for players and coaches to exchange jerseys.

What is more famous is that in 2018, after Manchester City played against Bristol City in the second round of the League Cup, the opponent's defender Aden Flint asked Guardiola to exchange jerseys in a half-joking manner.

At that time, Guardiola rejected the opponent's request, but after the game, he sent him an identical set of clothes, which was considered to have fulfilled the opponent's wish.

It's still several years since that incident, but Lin Quan got there first.

The on-site cameras captured this interesting scene, which aroused laughter from the audience.

The team won, and Bayern fans were in a relaxed mood.

The audience on the side of the coaching bench began to cheer:

"Mr. Guardiola, give him the jersey!"

"Man City's No. 10 jersey is not available on the market yet. You will definitely make a profit!"

Lin Quan's No. 10 jersey is still being produced at the factory and has not been put on the market on a large scale.

Even if you want to buy it, you can't buy it at this time.

What's more, this is the jersey he wore, and it is a limited edition within a limited edition.

However, the suit Guardiola is wearing costs tens of thousands of yuan, so it is not cheap.

"Looking at my size, can I wear your clothes?"

Lin Quan compared their heights and said to Guardiola.

Guardiola laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, I'll give it to you instead. Just think of it as a souvenir of our first match!"

The first match between father and son on the field is indeed memorable if you think about it carefully.

So, Lin Quan took off his jersey and gave it to Guardiola, who then changed his suit to Lin Quan.

The two had a very strange jersey exchange.

…

After finishing the Audi Cup competition, Manchester City did not stay too long in Germany.

They flew back to the UK overnight.

In response to the team's problems in the Audi Cup competition, Pellegrini began to adjust the team's technical and tactical play.

He knew that Yaya Toure liked to attack forward, so he arranged certain offensive tasks for him.

But he made a request to Yaya Toure, asking him to ensure that the team's defense is safe before he can advance forward to attack. Otherwise, he will not be allowed to advance easily.

In view of the lack of tacit cooperation among Manchester City's frontcourt players, he tried to arrange as many training matches as possible within the team, allowing Lin Quan, Silva and Aguero to play in fixed combinations.

Tacit understanding can be cultivated. After playing together for a long time and becoming familiar with each other's playing habits, the tacit understanding will improve.

After a week of intense training, Pellegrini contacted several teams to play friendly matches, intending to test the team's status.

They first looked for Fulham, who is in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, and then looked for Arsenal, who is relatively strong.

Pellegrini plans to train with Fulham first to find his form, and then use the momentum from defeating the Cottagers to face the Premier League giant Arsenal.

As long as they can win against Arsenal, the team will be able to accumulate a certain amount of confidence and their morale will be improved.

In this way, they can adjust their condition to the best before the Premier League starts.

Of the two teams, Fulham is happy to serve as a training partner for Manchester City, but they require that the game be played at their home court.

In this case, they can use Manchester City's reputation to sell some game tickets and earn some extra money.

Manchester City is not short of money, and they don't care about ticket revenue or anything like that.

The other party's request is not important to them, it is enough that the other party is willing to play a friendly match with them.

Arsenal agreed, but the time was set later, on August 15th.

They have just finished their Asian tour and are currently recovering.

Although Wenger doesn't like commercial activities very much, in order to make money to support the team, Arsenal still carried out some commercial activities this summer.

And Asia, with its stupid people and a lot of money, is a good place for Arsenal to make money.

If it weren't for the fact that the journey was so far away, the professor would have loved to run there every day.

However, for the top clubs, this kind of business activities will have more or less impact on their pre-match preparations.

Therefore, when conducting business activities, they will also weigh the pros and cons.

Some money can be made, and some money can't be made.

Professor Wenger also knew this very well, so Arsenal's Asia trip only lasted for half a month before ending the trip and returning to the UK.

In this case, their preparations before the game will not be greatly affected.

However, after playing a few games against those bad chess players in Asia, he was worried that the team's status would decline.

So after returning to the UK, I started looking for suitable opponents to find my form, and tried to adjust the team's form before the start of the Premier League.

Manchester City, which is strong on paper but lacks the rich heritage and whose actual combat effectiveness may be compromised, has become their best training opponent.

As a result, the two teams hit it off immediately, and Arsenal will visit Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on August 15.

On August 10, Manchester City's away game against Fulham started first.

The game attracted about 20,000 spectators.

The Farmer's stadium is relatively small, and even with some additional seats, the capacity is less than 30,000.

A friendly match can attract 20,000 spectators, which is a very high attendance rate.

Many of the fans who went to watch the game came for Lin Quan.

People are very interested in this person who claims to be comparable to Melo, and want to see with their own eyes whether he is really as strong as the rumors say.

Not only the fans are interested, but also Fulham players are also paying attention to Lin Quan.

While standing in the players' tunnel, Lin Quan noticed that the opponent's players' eyes had been focused on him, and they were whispering to each other from time to time, as if they were talking about himself.

"Be careful, they are planning to use foul tactics on you!"

David Silva was relatively close, and after paying careful attention, he heard some fragments of the other party's whisper, so he reminded Lin Quan with a serious expression.

"Well, I know!"

Lin Quan nodded. It's not surprising that Fulham players have such thoughts.
