Chapter 175 Iron and Blood Temperament!(2/2)
They booed unceremoniously and sent it to the referees who were officiating the game.
And it was not only the referee who was booed, but also Lin Quan who made the tackle.
When Lin Quan was fouled by one of their players before, they cheered loudly.
Now when Lin Quan retaliated with an eye for an eye and came back in the same way, they couldn't accept it. They all wanted to rush to the court, take out the red card from the referee's pocket and send Lin Quan off!
The double standards of Fulham fans were clearly demonstrated at this moment.
Because the game continues and the ball is still in Manchester City's hands.
The players on Fulham's side were unable to control Richardson who fell to the ground.
The latter howled on the ground for a long time, and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he had to get up from the ground and limped back into the game.
Lin Quan's kick just now was not light. When Richardson fell to the ground, he wondered if his leg had been broken by this kid.
However, he was kicked in the face of the bone, which was a hard injury. The bone was not broken, but the pain was obvious.
Feeling the stinging pain in his legs, Richardson subconsciously kept a distance from Lin Quan.
At this time, he did not dare to take the initiative to trouble Lin Quan. Lin Quan's tackle just now had left a psychological shadow on him.
Richardson finally figured it out. This kid is the type who will retaliate when he is angry. He will be cruel to himself and even more cruel to others, so don't provoke him easily!
If we can’t afford to offend him, why can’t we hide from him?
Facts have proved that he really can't hide!
Just because he didn't go looking for trouble with Lin Quan didn't mean that Lin Quan wouldn't come looking for him.
In the 44th minute, the ball came to Lin Quan's feet again, and he once again attacked Fulham's penalty area from the right.
As a full-back, Richardson had no choice but to rush forward.
Fortunately, this time the ball is at the opponent's feet, so the opponent shouldn't be able to foul him again, right?
Facts have proved that he thought simply.
Lin Quan saw that he was hesitant and wanted to but didn't dare to, so he passed the ball and accelerated directly to overtake him.
Richardson quickly blocked his position and at the same time grabbed Lin Quan's jersey with his hands to prevent him from rushing over.
This was what Lin Quan was waiting for. He took the initiative to move towards the opponent and used Brother Kun's famous stunt, Iron Mountain Leap, knocking Richardson back several steps and sitting on the ground with a plop.
Lin Quan took advantage of the situation and entered the penalty area. After passing Stekelenberg, he succeeded in pushing the shot into the empty goal and rewritten the score to 2:0.
After scoring, Lin Quan did not celebrate with his teammates, but walked up to Richardson:
"Thank you for the welcome, I hope you enjoy my hospitality!"
The players of both teams and the fans at the scene were all stunned at this scene on the field. Are you right? A newcomer who has just joined the Premier League taught a veteran football ruffian who has been in the Premier League for many years?
…
After leading 2:0, Manchester City substituted a large number of substitutes in the second half. Pellegrini began to make various permutations and combinations of the team's defense to test which combination suited him best.
Manchester City's defense has undergone a major change. Logically speaking, this should be Fulham's opportunity.
However, Fulham's offensive method is too simple. It is difficult for them to cooperate on the ground. They can only keep high balls and crosses from the bottom.
After Manchester City's defenders adapted to this single offensive method, it was difficult to pose a threat to them.
In the 79th minute of the second half, Lin Quan assisted Aguero and scored another goal, rewriting the score to 3:0.
In the end, with the goals of Lin Quan and Aguero, Manchester City defeated Fulham with a score of 3:0 and got a good start in the warm-up match of the new season.
Five days later, Manchester City returned to their home court to face the challenge of the Premier League giant Arsenal.
Arsenal is much stronger than Fulham.
Their players are extremely good at passing and cutting on the ground, which is completely different from the last game when Fulham only played high balls.
Facing Arsenal's dazzling ground passing and cutting cooperation, Manchester City's defense was completely unable to adapt to the opponent's offensive rhythm.
Before the first half was over, Arsenal scored two goals in Manchester City's goal.
The goals were scored by young tigers Walcott and Ramsey respectively. Walcott performed well with one pass and one shot.
Little Tiger Walcott was signed by Wenger when he was 17 years old. He is a young player that Wenger is very optimistic about.
And his performance also lived up to Wenger's expectations.
Last season, Little Tiger scored 21 goals in all competitions, averaging 0.5 goals per game, and was Arsenal's top scorer.
This season, in order to retain the little tiger, at Wenger's request, Arsenal gave the latter a large contract with a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds, which is almost 6 million euros a year when converted into an annual salary.
For a young player who is only 23 years old, this annual salary is already very high.
However, in the opposite Manchester City team, there is a guy whose weekly salary is four times his.
Seeing Walcott making trouble in Manchester City's backcourt, Lin Quan naturally couldn't watch the show from the sidelines.
He also contributed a pass and a shot in the first half, scoring a goal himself and assisting Silva to score a goal.
The two teams also ended the first half with a score of 2:2.
Both teams were very dissatisfied with this score.
Pellegrini was dissatisfied that the team's defense was too easily penetrated by the opponent's passing tactics, while Wenger was dissatisfied with his midfielder's inability to control the situation on the field and his defender's inability to guard Lin Quan.
.
As a result, both teams made adjustments during the halftime break.
Arsenal replaced Ozil, who had a soft style of play and was afraid of confrontation, and replaced him with Spanish international Cazorla.
This substitution had a very good effect. After Cazorla came on the court, he quickly provided an assist to his teammates and helped Giroud score in the penalty area.
Arsenal overtook the score and temporarily led Manchester City by one goal with a score of 3:2.
But Cazorla is not the kind of player who is very tough and strong in physical confrontation.
After he came on the field, although his cooperation with his teammates became more tacit, it still did not solve Arsenal's waist weakness problem.
After Lin Quan retreated, Manchester City suppressed Arsenal in the midfield.
The ball gradually fell into Manchester City's control, but after Lin Quan retreated, the frontcourt offense lacked connection, and the offensive power suddenly dropped a lot.
At this time, Manchester City fans intuitively felt Lin Quan's role on the court for the team.
Although Lin Quan joined the team not long ago, he is already an indispensable part of Manchester City!
"This kid can help the team sort out the offense in the frontcourt, and can help the team control the midfield after dropping back. As a winger, he can break through and score goals, and can also send high-quality crosses down to help his teammates.
He scored goals and was as versatile as a monster!"
On the Arsenal coaching bench, assistant coach Patrice was amazed by Lin Quan's performance on the court.
Although Lin Quan plays as a free agent and his position is not fixed, it is too free!
Players running around like this make it difficult for Arsenal to defend.
"Yes, Lin is a talented player!"
Wenger has a higher evaluation of Lin Quan than his assistant. After all, this is the white moonlight that he has missed!
In the 72nd minute of the game, Lin Quan received the ball in the midfielder position. Before the opponent rushed up to press him, he observed the opponent's defensive position.
Aguero saw Lin Quan holding the ball and immediately moved forward, trying to get out of the space.
After eating several of Lin Quan's cakes, Aguero was convinced of Lin Quan's passing ability.
Although the distance between the two was a little farther at this time, he had no doubt that as long as he ran out of space, Lin Quan would be able to deliver the ball to his feet.
The Argentinians made the right bet!
After seeing Aguero's movement, Lin Quan decisively kicked off and sent a long pass of more than 40 meters.
This ball seemed to have eyes, and it accurately found Aguero while he was running.
When Aguero caught the ball, he suddenly found that there was nothing in front of him.
Lin Quan's pass coupled with his movement actually penetrated Arsenal's defense!
Chapter completed!
