Chapter 342: A Slap in the Face of Universe Country, Barcelona Lost Unexpectedly

The hype of being a cosmic power has not been recognized by the outside world. In the eyes of all parties, however, the strengths of Lin Quan and Son Heung-min are not at the same level at all.

If you insist on comparing two players who are not on the same level, this kind of hype is completely shameless.

Japanese media reported that Son Heung-min is just a self-proclaimed Asian star by Koreans, but Lin Quan is truly the world's top star.

The gap between the two is like a firefly and a bright moon.

I really don’t know where Koreans get their faces, so I put the two of them together to compare.

Japan and South Korea are two football powers in East Asia, and both countries have a large number of players playing in European leagues.

Among them, Japanese star Keisuke Honda even wears the No. 10 jersey in AC Milan. Isn’t this much higher than Son Heung-min’s status in Leverkusen?

Therefore, who is most disgusted with this kind of hype by Koreans, it must be the Japanese.

As for domestic fans, there are too few Chinese players studying abroad, and there is a huge gap between their strength and the top level in Asia.

So in this topic, everyone just acts as a spectator and makes fun of the arrogant Koreans.

"Haha, it's not like Son Heung-min has never played against Lin. When he was at Werder Bremen, Lin led the team to double-kill Son Heung-min's Hamburg team!"

"That's right, even the Emperor Lin from two years ago couldn't beat him. How dare Koreans compete with the current Emperor Lin?"

"One thing to say, Son Heung-min is still very capable, and he is still very young. He may be able to make a breakthrough in the future, but if he is as arrogant as the Korean media and fans, then I think his upper limit will not be Too high!"

"I still hope he can play. Asian football needs a top star to promote football and make more children fall in love with football..."

Lin Quan was originally unaware of the Korean media reports, but before the game, Son Heung-min took the initiative to come over and apologize to him.

"Lin, I'm sorry that our national media reports have caused trouble to you, I'm sorry!"

Son Heung-min came to Europe to participate in training a long time ago. He was greatly influenced by Europe, and his behavior was not very similar to that of his compatriots.

Lin Quan was not aware of the media reports, but based on his understanding of the Korean media, he thought it would not be a good thing.

But because the matter was not the right person, he did not express his anger at Son Heung-min.

So after hearing Son Heung-min's apology, Lin Quan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"It's okay, play well in this game and give everyone a wonderful performance!"

After being encouraged by Lin Quan, Sun Xingmin nodded heavily:

"Well, I will learn from you, senior, in this game!"

Also as a winger, Son Heung-min has great admiration for Lin Quan.

He has collected a lot of Lin Quan's game highlights. When he has nothing to do, he likes to study Lin Quan's passing and shooting skills to improve his own strength.

A large part of the reason why he has improved so quickly in the past few seasons has to do with his diligence and studiousness!

After the game started, Leverkusen took advantage of their home court advantage and launched a fierce attack on Manchester City, trying to catch Manchester City off guard with a gun opening.

In Leverkusen's offense, Son Heung-min performed very well. In the 10th minute, his breakthrough on the wing even resulted in a yellow card.

Seeing Son Heung-min's outstanding performance, the Korean fans who came to the scene cheered excitedly.

"Our Xingmin suppressed Lin Quan. Xingmin is indeed the best!"

Now, they are extremely looking forward to Son Heung-min scoring a goal in the game. In this case, he can steadily surpass Lin Quan.

However, although Leverkusen's offense was powerful, it did not pose much of a threat.

Manchester City had already prepared for this. Several lines of defense maintained a reasonable distance. After the start, they played steadily and used tricks to resolve Leverkusen's attacks one by one.

After fifteen minutes, Leverkusen's offensive gradually slowed down, and Manchester City's players began to exert force.

After a fierce fight, the dominance of the midfield changed hands first.

After losing control of the midfield, Manchester City, under Kroos's calm dispatch, frequently used both wings to attack Leverkusen.

In this game, Leverkusen attached great importance to Lin Quan's defense. After all, he is the core of Manchester City. Various statistics and performance on the field have proven that he is the most threatening player in the Manchester City team.

Leverkusen believes that as long as they can guard Lin Quan, they can greatly weaken Manchester City's offensive capabilities.

However, it turned out that they were wrong.

In this game, Lin Quan did not force himself to show off his statistics just because of the hype from the Korean media.

On the contrary, he changed his playing style from a blaster to a playmaker.

With Lin Quan's assist, Jovetic and David Silva scored goals one after another in the first half.

Leverkusen's coach was stunned. He kept guarding Lin Quan, who passed five levels and defeated six generals, and broke into the penalty area to complete the shot.

As a result, the opponent didn't even enter the penalty area, and just relied on passing the ball from the outside to help the team take the lead.

And it’s still two goals ahead!

Such a big gap makes Leverkusen feel very desperate.

It feels like the other party doesn't seem to be exerting much strength, and they are about to die!

Is the strength gap between the two teams really that big?

Although Leverkusen is at an absolute disadvantage, Korean fans turn a blind eye to this.

In their view, although Son Heung-min did not score a goal, didn't Lin Quan on the opposite side also fail to score a goal?

Since there are no goals, it cannot prove that Son Heung-min is inferior to Lin Quan.

Even because Lin Quan changed his playing style, he failed to complete several successful dribbles on the wing throughout the first half. In this statistic, Sun Xingmin succeeded three times.

As a result, Korean fans seized this point and started boasting.

Soon, they couldn't even blow that point away.

In the 65th minute of the second half, Lin Quan used a long shot from outside the penalty area to penetrate Leverkusen's goal for the third time and scored his first goal of the game.

At this moment, the Koreans couldn't blow it anymore.

You can't boast that the winger's dribbling is more important than scoring goals, right?

However, at the end of the game, Lin Quan received the ball from the center, passed four defensive players in a row, reviewed Leverkusen's defense, and successfully scored the ball into the goal. They could not even boast about this. .

Sun Xingmin completed three dribbles in many attempts. Lin Quan only used one chance to pass four people and scored twice.

Unless you are truly blind, you really won't be able to play at this time.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Leverkusen 4:0 in the away game without any blood.

After the game, Sun Xingmin took the initiative to find Lin Quan and asked to exchange jerseys.

Lin Quan happily agreed to his request.

When the Korean fans in the stands saw Lin Quan and Son Heung-min exchanging jerseys, they all changed their faces and began to brag again.

"Our Xingmin has been recognized by the strongest player in the world. Xingmin is really good!"

However, they seemed not to notice that when they praised Son Heung-min, they also praised Lin Quan.

Although the title of the strongest player at that time was probably true, at least in Europe, no one had said that yet, at least they dared not say it so straightforwardly.

When European media describe Lin Quan, they usually add the word "one" at the end.

The game was heavily covered by the Korean media, especially after Lim and Son Heung-min swapped jerseys.

Many Korean fans have transformed themselves into fans of Lin Quan.

"As expected of the strongest man of our generation, Lin Quan is really awesome!"

"Yes, he can not only break through without any solution from the wing, but also organize attacks in the middle and assist teammates to score goals. His style of play is more and more like Maradona's style of playing for the world's leading football player!"

"I wonder when our enthusiasm will reach Lin Quan's level!"

Because Lin Quan showed so much strength, after this game, the Koreans finally recognized the reality.

However, although they no longer hyped the competition between Son Heung-min and Lin Quan, they began to find another way to try to find evidence whether Lin Quan had blood from the Great Han Ming Kingdom.

It is indeed the country of the universe where all things originate!

…

No one paid attention to the reports in the Korean media, and Lin Quan didn't know Korean, so it was naturally impossible for him to go out of his way to pay attention to the news of a small country.

Rather than caring about these, Manchester City players are more concerned about qualifying for the group and the scores and rankings of other groups.

After winning Leverkusen, Manchester City won both games and currently ranks first in the group with 6 points.

The other two teams in the same group, Monaco and Zenit, drew this round, which led to Manchester City's lead extending to 2 points.

Among the four teams in Group C, Manchester City ranks first with 6 points, Monaco ranks second with 4 points, Zenit ranks third with 1 point, and Leverkusen has lost both games and is at the bottom of the group with 0 points. .

Judging from the qualifying situation, Manchester City has the best qualifying situation.

Monaco will challenge Manchester City in their next game and have little hope of winning, but considering their points advantage, their qualifying situation is better than third-placed Zenit.

If Zenit, third in the group, wants to catch up with Monaco in points, it must win its next game against Leverkusen.

As for Leverkusen, if they don't want to be eliminated early, they will have to desperately score three points in the next game.

In other groups, in the focus battle between Atletico Madrid and Juventus in Group A, Atletico Madrid, which had just lost to Olympiacos in the previous round, defeated the Old Lady 1:0 at home and scored precious three points.

Olympiacos unexpectedly lost to Malmo in this round.

This resulted in Group A qualifying with 4 3 points, and the promotion situation was in chaos, with all four teams looking like they had a chance.

In Group B, Real Madrid has won two consecutive games and leads the standings. The qualifying situation is excellent.

Liverpool unexpectedly lost on the road this round, causing their qualifying situation to become a bit grim.

Liverpool will face the challenge of Real Madrid at home in the next game. With the current state and strength of the two teams, the possibility of Liverpool winning at home is very low.

Once they lose, they are likely to fall behind Basel, who have the same points as them.

Therefore, in addition to praying that they can defend their home court, Liverpool also prays that Basel loses.

In Group D, Arsenal, playing at home, achieved a big victory that made the Gunners fans excited to watch it.

They swept the Turkish Super League team Galatasaray 4:1 at home and scored precious three points.

In this game, Arsenal's offense was flowing smoothly. Welbeck scored a hat-trick and Sanchez also scored a goal.

The only fly in the ointment is that their goalkeeper Szczesny received a red card for a foul in the second half, which forced them to use a substitute goalkeeper in their next away game.

In Group E, Bayern defeated CSKA Moscow by 1 goal in an away game. Not only did they score 3 points, they also avoided the embarrassing schedule of visiting Moscow in the winter.

Group F had a big upset in this round.

In Barcelona's match against Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, ​​which was even more favored by the outside world, unfortunately lost to its opponent with a score of 2:3 in the away game.

Lin Quan was a little surprised after learning that Barcelona lost to Paris Saint-Germain.

If he remembers correctly, this season's Champions League champion seems to be Barcelona.

Who wouldn’t tremble after looking at the trident of Enrique’s era?

After watching the game, I found that Suarez had not appeared yet.

The MSN team hasn't shown its power yet, so no wonder they lost.

Messi and Neymar both scored in this game, but still failed to help the team win.

This defeat made the outside world a little pessimistic about Barcelona's Champions League prospects this season.

Considering that Suarez is still suspended, and even if he returns from the ban, if he cannot integrate into the team as soon as possible, Barcelona may not win the first place in the group.

Once they qualify as second in the group, they are very likely to draw strong teams like Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern in the knockout stage.

This is definitely not good news for Barcelona!

Fortunately, the situation is not so pessimistic yet, and Barcelona still has a chance to regain the top spot in the group!

However, with the current state of Paris, it will be difficult to reverse them.

After Paris Saint-Germain won Barcelona, ​​the whole team was extremely excited.

Many of their players even said that this was their best chance to hit the Champions League.

Especially for their team's top star Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the lack of a Champions League championship has always been a pain in his heart.

Before the rise of Lin Quan, Ibrahimovic had always regarded himself as the best player, and the outside world often ranked him below Messi and Ronaldo, thinking that he was the third active player.

However, compared with the peerless duo, Ibrahimovic has a very embarrassing point: he does not have a Champions League championship!

Ibrahimovic has changed many teams, including four or five giants, including Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, ​​and AC Milan. He has been to all of these giants.

But he was very unlucky and missed out on the Champions League every time.

Especially this time from Inter Milan to Barcelona, ​​and then from Barcelona to AC Milan, he missed two Champions League championships.

Now, Ibrahimovic is older. At 33 years old, he has undoubtedly entered the twilight of his career.

Therefore, for him, Paris Saint-Germain is likely to be his last hope for the Champions League title.

After several consecutive seasons of crazy krypton gold, Paris's lineup has improved unprecedentedly.

This season, Paris looks so strong that even the powerful Barcelona was defeated by them.

This seems to be the best time for them to win the championship!

Since Manchester City, who also played gold-dollar football last season, can win the championship, there is no reason why Paris can't invest more.
