Chapter 174 Exchange jerseys with Guardiola(2/2)
After all, when he first came to the Premier League, the British media labeled him as 'not good at physical confrontation'.
Maybe the opposing players think so too?
During the handshake session before the game, Richardson, the opponent's left back, held Lin Quan's hand without letting go and spoke harshly to Lin Quan:
"Boy, be careful with your legs after you go on stage!"
Lin Quan increased his strength with his hands and squeezed the other person's face until his face turned the color of pig liver:
"I also give you this sentence, be careful of your own legs!"
He has always believed in the strategy of tooth for tooth and eye for eye.
If anyone is rude to him, he will retaliate rudely.
"Haha, that's not a bad tone. This is the Premier League, and the games played here are only for real men... Hiss, it hurts, it hurts, let go, you lunatic!"
Seeing that the other person was still moaning in his mouth, Lin Quan increased the strength of his hands, pinching the other person's face until the facial features were twisted together.
"Try it!"
Lin Quan glanced at Richardson and walked towards the next opponent.
Fulham's defensive midfielder Sidwell saw his teammate's hand being pinched and turned pale, and he swallowed a gulp of saliva.
Can I not shake hands?
But Lin Quan's hand was already stretched out.
Sidwell could only muster the courage to extend his hand.
After touching Lin Quan's hand, he quickly took it back as if he was electrocuted.
He was afraid that he would end up like Richardson if caught by the opponent's hand.
Lin Quan was stunned for a moment by the other party's reaction. After he figured out the reason, a smile appeared on his face.
Being able to leave such an impression in the other person's mind is not bad news for him.
…
At 19:30 in the afternoon, the game officially started.
Fulham seized the opportunity to attack Manchester City from the beginning, without any caution or caution when facing a strong team.
It seems like they are planning to compete with Manchester City!
Yes, it's just a friendly match, not a real match.
They have to be worthy of the fans who spend money to buy tickets.
If Fulham cowers in their own half, the fans will probably curse them to death!
Manchester City's current weakness is the defense, but their strength on the front line is not weak at all.
Fulham is looking for death and wants to fight with them, so Manchester City naturally wants it.
As a result, Manchester City also sounded the horn of attack and launched a fierce attack on Fulham's penalty area.
This is Lin Quan's first time playing against a Premier League team, although it is just a warm-up match.
But both teams are serious Premier League teams, and even the referees are Premier League referees.
Therefore, the intensity of this game is not much different from that of the Premier League.
Only after actually playing it did I realize that the pace of Premier League games is indeed very fast.
But this kind of speed is different from the quick counterattacks of strong teams. Teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League like to play high balls.
When the football is at the feet of Fulham players, they don't like to push forward from the ground. Instead, they like to raise the ball high to find their own forwards and let the forwards compete for the top.
When he gets it, he passes it to his teammates and directly crosses the midfield to attack Manchester City's penalty area.
If you don't get a fight, retreat quickly to prevent the opponent from counterattacking.
Isn't this the old-fashioned long pass tactic?
Why do people still use this tactic in this day and age?
Lin Quan was surprised. The offensive efficiency of this tactic was very low.
Manchester City has many players in the backcourt, and it is not easy for the opponent's forwards to get the ball.
Even if you fight for it, you may not be able to successfully ferry it to your teammates.
And once they lose the ball, Manchester City's quick counterattack will be waiting for them.
Sure enough, in the 13th minute of the first half, after catching the opponent's mistake, Manchester City stole the ball in the backcourt and quickly passed the ball to the wing.
The ball quickly came to Lin Quan's feet.
Lin Quan had long observed that Fulham's defense was relatively empty. After receiving the ball, without saying a word, he ran wildly with the ball and headed towards Fulham's penalty area.
Fulham's left-back Richardson rushed towards Lin Quan aggressively, without even looking at the football, and ran directly towards his man.
The Fulham fans at the scene had their eyes widened, with expressions of anticipation on their faces.
They are already ready to watch their defenders ravage the No. 10 player!
It is said that in order to invite this little Spanish man, Manchester City not only spent a huge sum of money on signing fees, but also spent the first annual salary in football. It can be said that no expense was spared.
When they think that the opponent's No. 10 player is about to be easily defeated by one of their own defenders who is very ordinary in the Premier League, Fulham fans can't help but want to ridicule the Manchester City people for having too much money!
Is money useful?
Aren't we still going to be bullied by Fulham?
In addition to the Fulham fans, there was also a mysterious spectator in the audience.
Arsenal's head coach Wenger also came to the scene and wanted to inspect Manchester City, or to inspect Lin Quan's adaptation to the Premier League.
Fulham, like Arsenal, is a team based in London, so it is not troublesome for the professor to come to the farm to watch a game.
He has always been very optimistic about Lin Quan and really wants to introduce Lin Quan.
Although it failed in the end, it did not affect the professor's love for Lin Quan at all.
However, Wenger also knows very well how fierce the competition in the Premier League is.
He himself is not sure whether Lin Quan can adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League?
At this time, seeing Fulham's defender charging towards Lin Quan viciously, Wenger's heart involuntarily lifted.
Lin Quan is a genius, so don't get hurt!
Bang!
There was a fierce collision.
Richardson and Lin Quan bumped into each other!
However, surprisingly, it was not Lin Quan who was hit, but Richardson himself.
The latter seemed to have hit a wall and bounced off the spot, sitting on the ground with a look of disbelief on his face:
How is this possible?
How come this kid wasn't knocked down?
Lin Quan glanced at Richardson on the ground with disdain:
Ramos can't knock me down, so who are you?
After Richardson's defensive failure, Lin Quan's situation was already smooth.
Fulham's defenders didn't seem to expect that their teammates' interception would fail. They only started to move at this time, which was obviously too late.
Before the opponent's center back could cover up the defense, Lin Quan dribbled the ball past Richardson into the penalty area. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he scored the ball with a light shot.
The score was rewritten to 1:0.
I saw Lin Quan knock down his own defender and score the ball into his own goal.
The Fulham fans at the scene were silent:
Why is this script so different from what I imagined?
Chapter completed!
