Chapter 177 Sudden Change, Unexpected Injury!
"This kid has integrated into the team faster than we thought!"
In the stands, Moyes frowned and said to the assistant next to him.
He came to the site today mainly to inspect two people.
One is Chilean engineer Pellegrini's tactical play and on-the-spot scheduling capabilities.
The other one is to examine Lin Quan's game status.
He has information on other Manchester City players, but these two are a little unfamiliar to him.
Neither of them has coached or played in the Premier League before, so it is unclear whether the two can adapt to the Premier League's game rhythm and division style.
Now it seems that Pellegrini's tactics are quite satisfactory.
The 442 formation he arranged is basically known to all coaches in the Premier League.
Moreover, the game was played for a relatively short time, and Pellegrini's performance in on-the-spot command and substitutions has not yet been seen, so it is impossible to further measure his ability.
But Lin Quan is different. Just through his performance on the court in the first half so far, Moyes no longer doubts whether he can integrate into the Premier League.
No wonder the outside world calls him the third person besides Melo. He does have this ability.
Thinking of this, Moyes told his assistant:
"When I get back, I'll find the video of his matches in the Bundesliga and the Spanish national team. I want to study him carefully!"
Although football is a team game, the role of a superstar on the field cannot be ignored.
Superstars often only need a flash of inspiration to rewrite the score on the field with their own personal strength.
Just like Messi, no one could have imagined that Busquets could penetrate Real Madrid's entire defense with a simple pass.
This kind of performance belongs to the sudden flash of inspiration of the super giants.
Even if Messi were to play again in the same position, he might not be able to create such a miracle.
But as long as they are on the court, they can create miracles like this, and you have to guard against them.
The assistant was very surprised. Moyes thinks very highly of Manchester City!
The other party is just a group of nouveau riche. Do you think so highly of them?
"Today is different from the past. The Manchester City now is different from the Manchester City before!"
Moyes saw his assistant's carelessness and said in a more serious tone:
"Don't underestimate them. I don't want to taste the bitter fruit of failure because I underestimate my opponents. We have just come to Manchester United. We need to be careful in every game and not make any mistakes, especially in a derby game like Manchester City. His The importance cannot be overstated ten thousand times!”
Thinking of their current situation at Manchester United, the assistant immediately cheered up and nodded heavily:
"Don't worry David, I will take care of things!"
…
After scoring, Lin Quan ran to the sidelines, put his hands to his ears, and asked for applause from the Manchester City fans in the stands.
Manchester City fans will not be stingy with their applause and cheers even if he does not take the initiative to ask for applause.
So after seeing his actions, the fans applauded and cheered wildly, and the volume of the entire stadium suddenly increased a lot.
"Lin, good job, just kill them like this!"
"Lin, come in one more!"
"Lin, let's get a hat trick!"
Hearing the fans' shouts, Lin Quan smiled and waved to them and gave them the OK sign.
This response made the fans even more excited.
Some fans who were close to him wanted to fall off the stands and rush into the stadium to celebrate with Lin Quan.
But only halfway through, he was pushed back by the on-site security guards who looked like enemies.
Manchester City seemed to anticipate that this game would be very popular, so they hired thousands of security personnel in advance to maintain order.
Now it seems that the money was not wasted!
…
Manchester City fans cheered for Lin Quan's goal.
But the Newcastle fans opposite were not happy.
The fans of the Magpies looked at the No. 10 player wearing a blue jersey on the court, and the envy in their eyes could not be suppressed.
Back then, under Kevin Keegan, they also had such a super shooter, who was the holder of the Premier League's historical goal record and single-season goal record, and the Premier League's top scorer - Alan Shearer.
However, Alan Shearer has long since retired, and Newcastle has lost its previous glory.
A few seasons ago, they even experienced the historical low of being relegated to the Championship.
The team's re-emergence seems to be far away, but Manchester City, who were struggling to avoid relegation in the middle and lower reaches of the league with them, has quietly risen at this time.
This makes the fans of the Magpies envious and jealous, wondering when such good luck will befall them.
"We can't let that kid score goals unscrupulously!"
"Yes, stop him!"
The Newcastle players were very depressed and even angry. They conceded the goal in just six minutes. The guy who scored the goal also promised the fans at the scene that he would score a hat-trick for them.
It’s really unbearable!
Although our Newcastle team is not as strong as your Manchester City counterparts, this does not mean that we are easy to bully!
Even if we can't win this game, we still have to prevent the opponent's No. 10 from continuing to score.
Under the strong hostility of the opponent, Lin Quan immediately felt the difference after the game restarted.
Newcastle's defense has become much tighter, and they often use foul tactics to prevent themselves from advancing forward.
After realizing the opponent's defensive strategy, Lin Quan immediately made targeted adjustments.
He began to reduce the number of catches, increase the frequency of passing, pass the ball to his teammates as much as possible, and use the help of his teammates to get rid of defensive players.
This move quickly achieved results. After Newcastle strengthened its defense against Lin Quan, the intensity of marking other Manchester City players naturally became weaker.
In the 21st minute of the game, David Silva stepped in and assisted Lin Quan three times in a row before entering the penalty area.
At this time, the football was at Lin Quan's feet, and he stood at the front of the penalty area and prepared to shoot.
Newcastle players believed that he was a greater threat than David Silva, so they placed his defensive priority at the highest level.
Center back Taylor and defensive midfielder Gufran chose to rush towards Lin Quan. The two of them went one behind the other, intending to double-team Lin Quan, hoping to stifle the opponent's attack at the front of the penalty area.
After seeing the opponent's choice, Lin Quan quickly made adjustments. Before the opponent could press him, he passed the ball to Silva through the gap.
Newcastle's defensive formation has been led astray by him, and he has attracted enough attention. As long as Silva can get rid of the defensive players around him, he will have the opportunity to challenge the goalkeeper.
"Stop him!"
Seeing that Lin Quan could pass the ball out in such a small space, Newcastle's defenders were all very frightened.
It's too close to the goal. As long as the opponent's players receive the ball in the penalty area, they may score directly.
The game time has just passed 20 minutes now. If they concede another goal at this time, they will have absolutely no chance of scoring in this game!
Therefore, we must definitely stop the opponent's attack!
Mbiwa felt the weight on his shoulders. He saw Silva entering the penalty area like a cunning loach and quickly judged the distance between himself and the ball.
The ball was a one-two and he was not sure to get the ball before David Silva.
So Mbiwa made an instant decision. Without any hesitation, he fell to the ground and shoveled, showing his spikes towards Silva.
Mbiwa's calculation was very loud. If you catch the ball, you may be kicked by me. If you don't catch the ball, you will miss an excellent opportunity to attack.
He intends to use this tackle to intimidate the opponent and make them afraid to catch the ball.
Manchester City is currently leading the score, and the opponent has a star with a high salary and unlimited potential.
From a common sense perspective, David Silva should not be so desperate.
So in the game between the two, the moment he showed off his spikes, he was already invincible!
However, what Mbiwa didn't expect was that Silva didn't see his tackle at all.
All he could think about was not to waste Lin Quan's assist, and failed to discover Mbiwa's dangerous move immediately.
And by the time he realized the danger and wanted to jump away, it was already too late!
Beep!
The sharp whistle sounded and the Etihad Stadium was in an uproar.
Countless Manchester City fans craned their necks, not caring at all about the referee's decision on the ball.
They just want to confirm if David Silva is injured.
Although David Schill is not Manchester City's top star, he has brought an FA Cup and a league championship trophy to Manchester City in the three seasons since he joined Manchester City. In the 2011-2012 season, he was named Manchester City's best player of the season. Best player.
It can be said that before Lin Quan joined the team, the favorite player of Manchester City players was David Silva.
But now, the team's meritorious veteran was kicked hard by the opponent and knocked down in the penalty area.
This makes countless Manchester City fans worry about him!
"David stand up!"
"David, don't get hurt!"
"woo woo woo woo!"
Some fans anxiously shouted to David Silva who was lying on the lawn, hoping that he would stand up after hearing his voice.
But seeing that he still didn't stand up, some of the more fragile fans couldn't bear it any longer and started sobbing.
Seeing David Silva being tackled by the opponent and not getting up from the ground immediately, Manchester City head coach Pellegrini stood up from the coaching bench.
He quickly walked to the sidelines and tried to figure out Silva's situation.
Silva is an important member of the team and his role in the frontcourt is huge.
The new season has just begun, so don’t get injured at this time!
In the box at the Etihad Stadium, the big boss Mansour, who flew from the Middle East to Manchester to watch this game, saw David Silva lying in the opponent's penalty area. He stood up suddenly without mentioning it. uttered a national curse with the F word.
How dare the opponent, how dare they commit such a blatant foul?
Today they can foul David Silva, and tomorrow they can treat the superstar he spent hundreds of millions of pounds to bring back in the same way!
Mansour couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the horrific scene of Lin Quan being kicked off his leg by the opponent.
No, I can't let this happen and people just sit back and watch, I have to do something to protect Manchester City's players!
At this moment, Mansour had already decided to appeal to the Football Association and ask them to introduce policies to protect stars.
If such a protective policy is not introduced, the Premier League's appeal to top stars will only become weaker and weaker.
Superstars like Ronaldo and Messi are unwilling to stay in the Premier League because of such unscrupulous fouls by Premier League defenders.
Which superstar dares to risk his career to play in the Premier League!
It is precisely because both Ronaldo and Messi went to La Liga that they have been suppressed by La Liga in recent years and lost their throne as the world's number one league.
If this situation does not change, we do not rule out the possibility that the Premier League will continue to decline and be overtaken by the Bundesliga or even Serie A.
He believed that as long as he stated his interests clearly, the FA would respond!
…
On the field, Manchester City players rushed to Newcastle's penalty area and anxiously surrounded Silva.
Manchester City's team doctor also rushed up with a medical kit and began to check his injury.
Lin Quan was very angry. He was the Manchester City player closest to the incident and witnessed the entire process of Mbiwa's crime.
Furious, he went straight to trouble Mbiwa, pushed him hard and asked him why he did this.
Mbiwa was not someone to be trifled with. When he saw Lin Quan taking action, he waved his fist and wanted to teach Lin Quan a lesson.
However, the Newcastle players saw that the situation was not good and were worried that he would be sent off directly, so they quickly hugged him from behind.
In fact, Mbiwa was a little surprised, and he didn't expect the other party to be so stubborn.
He just wanted to scare the other party into giving up this opportunity, but he didn't expect that the other party would hit him directly.
It's just a game, is there any need to work so hard?
The referee would not give him a chance to explain. He nailed the sandals in the penalty area and did not tackle the ball. In his opinion, this was a very bad foul.
Even though the Premier League's law enforcement standards are very loose, they cannot tolerate such fouls.
So, he gave Mbiwa a yellow card.
This penalty confused Mbiwa and the Manchester City fans at the scene.
Everyone, including Mbiwa himself, thought it would be a red card, but the referee didn't expect it to be a red card. It seemed like he was about to impose the death penalty, but instead he just gave a yellow card with loud thunder and slight rain?
The whole Etihad Stadium was flooded with boos, and the fans used practical actions to express their dissatisfaction with the referee to the referee.
The referee was unmoved. After recording the yellow card, he signaled the Manchester City players to prepare for a penalty kick.
Manchester City's team doctor rushed to the field with a serious face, but after checking David Silva's injury, his expression became even more serious.
The team doctor waved to the sidelines and signaled the team to make substitutions. At the same time, he called for a stretcher and carried the injured David Silva off.
"Lin, I'm sorry, I failed to seize the opportunity you just created!"
After getting on the stretcher, David Silva was still blaming himself for wasting Lin Quan's pass.
This sentence made Lin Quan's nose feel sour, and he felt extremely guilty.
He shook David Silva's hand and said to him:
"David, take good care of yourself, I will avenge you!"
"Well, I'm waiting for your good news!"
After saying that, he was taken away on a stretcher.
After Silva was taken away on a stretcher, Lin Quan looked back at Newcastle left back Mbiwa.
At this moment, the anger in his heart reached the extreme.
The desire for revenge is extremely strong!
Newcastle, just wash your necks and wait for death!
