Chapter 208: Popularity soars, number of fans exceeds 5 million (transitional chapter)

In the end, thanks to Lin Quan's amazing overhead shot in stoppage time, the two teams tied at 2:2.

Manchester City retreated from Chelsea's home ground.

Although their winning streak was interrupted, they still maintained their undefeated streak.

Manchester City fans are very satisfied with such a result when the team's lineup is uneven.

At the post-match press conference, Pellegrini spent a minute praising Lin Quan's performance, praising him as the best player he has ever coached, bar none!

"As a head coach, I am very happy to have a player like Lin Quan in my team. He is the kind of player who can bring you endless surprises, just like Barcelona's Messi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo. I

I think Lin is obviously a player of this level!"

The annual Golden Globe Award is about to be drawn, and Pellegrini is building momentum for him in advance.

Although Lin Quan's historical record and honors are much lower than those of several popular players, the momentum that should be created must still be created, and the topics that should be hyped must also be hyped.

Netizens started talking about Pellegrini's words.

"There's nothing wrong with what the engineer said. Emperor Lin is indeed like an unrivaled pair of prides now!"

"Low-key and low-key, we can't bring trouble to Huang Lin. He has to win at least a Champions League trophy and a Golden Globe before he can be compared with the two peerless heroes. Before that, Lin Huang is still far behind in terms of honors!"

"Haha, I think Lin Huang can take shortcuts, such as winning a Hercules Cup in next year's World Cup. In this case, wouldn't he directly surpass Melo?"

"This is possible. The gold content of the Hercules Cup is higher than that of the Big Ear Cup, but it is very difficult to win the Hercules Cup!"

"There are many strong teams in next year's World Cup, not to mention the host Brazil, the South American powerhouse Argentina, and the traditional European powerhouses France, England, the Netherlands, Italy and Germany, etc., all of which are not easy to mess with.

It’s very difficult to fight your way through so many strong teams!”

"I missed one upstairs. The strength of the European Red Devils Belgium cannot be underestimated, and Croatia, where Modric and Mandzukic are playing, is also very strong. There are indeed many strong teams in Europe!"

"Indeed, many teams in Europe have been relegated to the second or even third tier. Maybe there will be a super death group in the group stage. If you are unlucky and get drawn into the death group, you will be in the death group.

Spain’s slow-growing nature may mean that it will be eliminated in the group stage!”

"Isn't this possible? Spain is also the defending champion after all, and it is still ranked number one in the world by FIFA. It is impossible that it will not be able to qualify in the group stage, right?"

"Theoretically, there is a possibility of not being able to qualify, but the probability is low."

After the game, the video of Lin Quan hanging upside down on the golden hook spread rapidly on the Internet.

He also successfully topped the trending list on Twitter with this divine shot.

Affected by this, Lin Quan's fame and influence have once again risen to a higher level.

The number of followers on Twitter also soared rapidly, exceeding 5 million, surpassing a large group of current stars.

…

Some people were proud and others were disappointed. After Pellegrini's interview ended, Chelsea's head coach had not yet arrived.

This caused reporters to whisper below:

"Isn't Mourinho a deserter and afraid to come?"

"Haha, it's possible!"

"He bragged before the game that he would win Manchester City at home, but he was tied by Manchester City with an incomplete lineup. Now everyone is waiting to see his joke. I don't think he has the courage to show up!"

Wherever Mourinho is there, there is no shortage of news, and his crazy personality can easily cause conflicts with reporters.

And every conflict can be widely reported by the media as material.

After waiting for a while, Mourinho arrived late, and his face was ashen, as if he had just had an argument with someone.

"I bet Mourinho lost his temper in the dressing room!"

"Haha, maybe we had a friendly exchange with Abu?"

Reporters speculated one after another.

These guys did not deliberately lower their voices, so Mourinho heard their discussion below clearly.

He snorted coldly, sat down behind the interview table, and then said:

"I know what you want to ask, but my team ended the opponent's eight-game winning streak. I think this is an acceptable result!"

He anticipated the reporters' questions and wanted to be the first to speak to silence the reporters.

Yet how could Fleet Street reporters let him off so easily?

"But Manchester City is missing a lot of its main players and is just a remnant team at best. If Manchester City can't even win like this, then when you visit the Etihad Stadium in the 24th round of the league, will Chelsea still have a chance of winning?

?”

Mourinho glanced at the reporter who asked the question and found that the other person was a reporter from The Times, so he gave the other person a little face and did not directly complain:

"My team is the best team, we can beat any opponent!"

A reporter from The Independent asked:

"After this battle, Manchester City is still 7 points ahead of Chelsea, and Arsenal is also 3 points ahead of you. Is Chelsea's goal this season still to win the championship?"

Mourinho said dismissively:

"Of course, the goal of me and the team is always to win the championship. The league has just begun. There are 29 rounds left, which is enough for my team to chase points!"

The Guardian reporter was not satisfied with Mourinho’s answer and retorted with data:

"But in these nine rounds, Chelsea lost one and drew three. The team's forward problem is still unsolved. Among the traditional giants of the Premier League, Chelsea's current number of goals is only higher than that of the turbulent Manchester United, falling behind.

Compared with the other three teams, it is far behind Manchester City!"

Mourinho sneered: "Arsene Wenger's Arsenal is very strong at the beginning of every season, giving people a feeling that they are about to win the championship, but you have not seen what Arsenal is like in the second half of the schedule!"

"I admit that Manchester City's current record is good, but they lack experience and will make mistakes quickly when fighting on multiple fronts, but my team will not!"

The reporters present could not help but roll their eyes. Why is this person so thick-skinned?

Who lost to Basel in the first away game of the Champions League?

Manchester City now maintains a complete victory in the Champions League, and the situation of qualifying for the group is bright.

Chelsea still have to compete with Werder Bremen for first place in the group. It’s not certain whether they can win the first place in the group or even qualify!

That's it, it's nice to say that your team won't make mistakes.

I think you, Mourinho, are a tough talker!

Seeing Mourinho boasting like this, the Sun reporter said:

"Coach Mourinho, before the game you said you would definitely defeat Manchester City at home, but you failed. How do you evaluate the Haikou you boasted about before the game?"

This is a direct slap in the face!

Mourinho can still be a little more polite to reporters from The Times and other mainstream newspapers, but to a tabloid like The Sun.

Then he won't be polite at all!

"I can stand on the Stamford Bridge field and command the team, but you will only hide in a dark corner and say bad words to hurt people.

The reason why Chelsea asked me to be their head coach is because I am better than you and better than everyone here, otherwise, why didn't they hire you?"

After saying that, he walked away and ended the press conference directly.

…

As the focus of this round of Premier League matches, after the game, the entire fleet street news media were reporting on this game.

Lin Quan's goal was undoubtedly selected as the best goal in this round of the Premier League.

In the history of Manchester City, the only goal that can rival Lin Quan's goal is Aguero's buzzer-beater before the midfield whistle sounded when facing Queens Park Rangers in the last round of the 2011-2012 season!

Of course, in terms of brilliance, Lin Quan’s goal was clearly a winner.

But it depends on the level of thrills and excitement and its importance to the team.

Then Aguero's shot is obviously more important, after all, that shot brought a championship trophy.

After the game, Aguero, who was out due to illness, praised Lin Quan's performance on social media.

"It's incredible. Lin has done what every forward wants to do but can't do. I think after I return to the team, I have to learn the technique of overhead shooting from him!"

A forward from Real Madrid who did not want to be named secretly gave Aguero a thumbs up. Lin Quan's shooting skills are really useful after learning them. Whoever uses them will know!

After seeing Aguero's tweet, Lin Quan also tweeted:

"Isn't it easy to shoot an overhead kick? You just need to jump up, lift your feet, and then aim at the football and kick it hard!"

Aguero: "???It's really that simple. I don't study well, don't lie to me!"

Royce: "This guy is lying. When he shoots with his right foot, it lifts higher than his height. If you want to complete a shot like his, you must first be able to jump so high!"

Is it okay to jump high?

A certain winger from Real Madrid was eager to give it a try after hearing this and wanted to try it on the field.
