Capítulo 69: Chapter 271 Dive and Penalty Kick
After a moment, Guardiola stood up and looked towards the court nervously.
Having the same sentiment as him, there was also Spanish national team coach Vicente Del Bosque who came to watch the game.
It is less than two months before the World Cup starts. Lin Quan is the absolute core of Spain. If he is injured, how can Spain still play?
On the Manchester City coaching bench, Pellegrini felt the same way.
Lin Quan is also the core of Manchester City. If he leaves the field due to injury, Manchester City's offensive system in the frontcourt will directly collapse, and they will never be able to reverse this game.
"What a fight!"
On the Real Madrid coaching bench, Ancelotti was filled with emotion when he saw Lin Quan being tackled and the football rolling into the Real Madrid goal.
He hasn't seen a player as hard-working as Lin Quan on the field for a long time!
The Real Madrid fans who had booed Lin Quan all the way also shut up at this time.
Although they were opponents, they were moved by the opponent's fighting spirit and could not continue to boo Lin Quan.
"Oh, this guy is handsome, capable, good at playing football, and yet he works so hard. It would be a pity not to come to our Real Madrid!"
"Yes, if it had been Lin who transferred to Real Madrid last year, let alone this year's Champions League, we would be able to compete in the Champions League in the next ten years!"
In the Manchester City penalty area, after diving for a long time, Di Maria howled miserably for a long time. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Di Maria stood up as if nothing had happened, and then saw the scene where his captain tackled Lin Quan.
Although they were separated by almost an entire stadium, seeing that extremely impactful scene still made Di Maria's heart tighten.
If he had been knocked down, his legs would have been broken!
On the field, Manchester City players rushed towards Lin Quan, concerned about his injury.
Manchester City's team doctor quickly came on stage to check Lin Quan's injury.
Lin Quan clenched his teeth and his forehead was so painful that he was sweating profusely.
The ball hit Casillas on his face, and he felt like he was going to faint from the pain.
Fortunately, his talent of immunity to injuries prevented him from being injured, leaving only severe pain, otherwise the consequences would not have been so simple!
Manchester City's team doctor thought Lin Quan was seriously injured, but after checking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Quan's injuries were much more minor than they thought.
When they thought that Lin Quan had been in this situation in other games before, they could only explain it by his extraordinary talent and couldn't find any other reasons.
Just like some people are born with glass and some rarely get injured, this kind of thing is related to their physical constitution!
Although they made this judgment, they still did not dare to be careless and planned to carry Lin Quan down on a stretcher, and conduct swelling, analgesia and further observation on the sidelines.
On the sidelines, Pellegrini called Negredo and prepared to let him come on to replace Lin Quan.
However, at this moment, he saw Lin Quan limping to his feet and refused the team doctor's suggestion to rest on the sidelines.
He also gestured to Pellegrini to indicate that he could continue to play.
Pellegrini was stunned for a moment, glanced at the numbers on the scoreboard, nodded to Lin Quan, and made a gesture to ask for a substitution as soon as possible if he couldn't hold on any longer.
The Manchester City fans who came to the away game saw Lin Quan stand up and chose to continue fighting.
They gathered together and gave Lin Quan warm applause.
"Lin, there's no need to fight so hard, it doesn't matter if you lose..."
"Yes, Lin, taking care of yourself is the most important thing!"
"Wow, I'm so touched. How can I, Manchester City, have such dedicated and dedicated players?"
"This is no longer a matter of dedication and dedication. If Lin Quan continues to play like this, he will definitely become the spiritual totem of Manchester City!"
Real Madrid fans also burst into sporadic applause when they saw Lin Quan limping towards the center circle to prepare for the kick-off.
Although Lin Quan's goal gave them a sense of danger, their opponents' tenacious fighting spirit and fighting spirit still made them admire them very much.
"Lin, is your injury really okay?"
When passing the Real Madrid half-court, Xabi Alonso asked with concern.
Although the two are opponents in this game, they are teammates in the national team.
Xabi Alonso is worried that Lin's persistence with the injury will worsen his injury, which will affect his participation in the World Cup.
"It's okay, it's a bruise, it just hurts a little, just take it easy and it'll be fine!"
Xabi Alonso took a look and saw that there were really no obvious signs of injury from the outside. I hope he is fine as he said!
Lin Quan's goal made the score 2:1, and the total score was evened to 4:4.
This score still has some advantages for Real Madrid, because they have one more away goal than Manchester City.
If this score is maintained until the end, it will still be Real Madrid who advance.
However, this is the Bernabeu, how can Real Madrid curl up with a three-pointer?
There is no such truth!
So, after the restart, Real Madrid once again launched a fierce attack on Manchester City.
Although Di Maria loves to flop, his ability is still very good.
With Modric frozen, Real Madrid relied on the two full-backs to assist and hit the two wings.
At this time, Di Maria will frequently pull out and cooperate with the players on the wings, which can not only provide them with fire support, but also open up the defensive players in the middle, creating conditions for teammates to attack from behind.
In the 81st minute of the game, Di Maria made a sudden pass, broke into the penalty area and forced a shot which was confiscated by Joe Hart.
Two minutes later, in almost the same position, the Argentine came again, but this time he chose to pass the ball to his teammates.
Ronaldo and Benzema are both reaching for the ball. Relatively speaking, Benzema is in a better position.
But Di Maria chose to pass the ball to Ronaldo. Who said Ronaldo is the boss of the team?
Cristiano Ronaldo played a little anxiously and sent the ball into the stands with a blast, making Di Maria roll her eyes.
If I had known this, I might as well have passed it to Benzema!
Benzema put down his hand for the ball and shook his head helplessly.
If you don't take the initiative to fight for your position in the team, you will never get ahead unless you can get rid of all the big guys.
But he is only two years younger than Cristiano Ronaldo, and even two years older than Bale. This method of relying on a daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law may not work.
Forget it, at our level, let's just be a green leaf. If we want to be the boss, we probably can only go to a mid-range team.
It is better to stay in Real Madrid than to go to a mid-tier team. After all, you can get more in Real Madrid and it is easier to achieve results. As long as there are no major changes in the team's lineup in the next few years, they can compete in the Champions League many times!
Seeing that Di Maria was so active, Yaya Toure began to increase his focus on him.
But the Argentinian was as slippery as a loach and he was only replaced in the second half, so his physical condition was better than Yaya Toure.
So he doesn't struggle with Yaya Toure. Every time he kicks the ball or catches the ball while running and then quickly hands the ball over.
This kind of playing style of constant running and changing positions makes Yaya Toure's defense very difficult.
If this was the first half, he would definitely be able to lock down Di Maria, but this was over 80 minutes and it was almost the end of the game.
Yaya Toure, who ran a whole game, really couldn't run anymore!
Di Maria observed this very keenly. In the 87th minute, he pretended to run back and deceived Yaya Toure to follow him. Then he suddenly accelerated, threw away Yaya Toure and then turned back.
At the same time, the ball from his teammate was also passed.
Yaya Toure was a step too slow, failed to keep up with Di Maria, and was driven into the penalty area by his opponent.
Demichelis rushed over and tried to intercept Di Maria, but Di Maria passed him through the crotch.
Di Maria hit the ball a little too hard, and the ball was slightly out of his control. Just when he felt that he had messed up, he felt someone pulling him from behind, and he immediately screamed and fell to the ground.
Beep!
The whistle sounded and the referee pointed to the penalty spot.
Demichelis felt that he was wronged. When he turned around, he touched Di Maria with his hand. The opponent fell down exaggeratedly as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.
This is a fake fall!
The referee couldn't see clearly, and Di Maria screamed miserably, so he ignored Demichelis's appeal and insisted on his penalty.
Cristiano Ronaldo didn't care so much, he came to the penalty spot with the football in his arms and prepared to take the penalty kick.
He is Real Madrid's first penalty kicker. Although Di Maria made the ball, Di Maria is not qualified to take the penalty.
Di Maria was pulled up by his teammates, retreated outside the penalty area, and looked at Ronaldo with some indignation.
This is a penalty kick caused by me, why can't I take it?
I haven't scored a goal in this game yet!
Cristiano Ronaldo didn't care so much, he didn't score a goal and needed a penalty kick to open the scoring.
Besides, Lin Quan and I are competing for the Champions League Golden Boot. What does it have to do with you, kid?
How many goals have you scored?
Ronaldo was already one goal behind Lin Quan, but Lin Quan scored again in this game, and the gap between the two widened to 2 goals.
Seeing that there are only a few games left in the Champions League, if the gap cannot be narrowed as much as possible, it may be difficult to catch up with Lin Quan in the finals.
Since ancient times, the final has been an unknown game. Under the temptation of the championship trophy, the final will be played more conservatively and the score will not be too exaggerated. A game like the Miracle in Istanbul with 6 goals in the final can be said to be several times in the history of the Champions League. A rare occurrence in ten years.
If Ronaldo scores this goal, the gap between the two can be reduced to 1 goal.
In this case, in the finals, if he can score another goal, he can catch up with Lin Quan.
As for overtaking Lin Quan, it seems to be difficult at present, and the hope is slim!
Joe Hart was jumping up and down in front of the goal, trying to interfere with Ronaldo and put psychological pressure on the opponent.
But Ronaldo also has a big heart, and his success rate in penalty kicks is very high.
Therefore, in the game between the two, the simple Joe Hart was deceived. After seeing Ronaldo's move, he judged that the opponent was going to play in the upper left corner. However, after making the save, he found that the opponent was playing in the middle.
If he didn't save the ball, he could have blocked it just by standing there and doing nothing.
I can only say that Cristiano Ronaldo is a very talented person and very brave!
After Ronaldo scored this goal, he ran to the sidelines, jumped high, and put on his signature celebration.
In the last game at the Etihad Stadium, he was booed by Manchester City fans for celebrating like this.
But this time, at the Bernabeu, he received enthusiastic applause and cheers from more than 80,000 spectators.
Well, that's what it feels like!
This feeling of being watched by thousands of people, the center of attention, and everyone cheering for me!
Ronaldo enjoys this feeling!
Real Madrid players rushed to Ronaldo and hugged him excitedly.
Ronaldo's goal changed the score to 3:1. With only a few minutes left in the game, Real Madrid can be said to have one foot in the final.
Manchester City's players were a little frustrated. Losing the ball at this time was a heavy blow to morale.
Everyone's physical fitness has declined seriously, and they are relying on one breath to hold on at this time, but Real Madrid's goal is like a needle sticking into a balloon, deflating their breath.
"It doesn't matter, just one goal is enough!"
Lin Quan fished the football out of the goal, walked over, comforted his teammates and said:
"Even if they don't score, we still need at least one goal, and now that they score, we still only need one goal!"
Hearing Lin Quan's words, the eyes of the Manchester City players lit up.
yes!
If they score another goal, they will tie Real Madrid on away goals.
Then we can play overtime!
Before Real Madrid scored this goal, if Manchester City scored another goal, they could advance to the finals with their goal difference.
After Real Madrid scored this goal, if Manchester City scored again, they could only equal the gap between the two teams, and the two sides would have to play overtime or even a penalty shootout!
When I thought of this, Manchester City's players immediately regained their morale and rekindled their fighting spirit!
Real Madrid has nothing to be afraid of, fight them!
The game restarted. The Real Madrid players were still immersed in joy, but suddenly they found that the Manchester City players on the opposite side had red eyes and rushed towards them like an enraged bull!
Although Pellegrini's substitution adjustments were criticized a lot by Guardiola, replacing Kroos caused Manchester City to lose the core of the midfielder position and no one to threaten the ball.
Although De Bruyne has good passing ability, his position is too high and he can easily be restricted.
This is also the reason why Manchester City's offense lacked threats in the second half and could only rely on Lin Quan to use his personal strength to create opportunities.
But the addition of Fernandinho has made Manchester City's midfield tougher.
After he adapted to the rhythm of the game, he and Yaya Toure built two iron gates in the defense, which almost blocked Real Madrid's attacks from the center.
In the 89th minute of the game, seeing that the Angel Wings were too sticky to the ball, Fernandinho made a decisive move and with the cooperation of his teammates, he snatched the ball back from Di Maria's feet.
The nearby Real Madrid players immediately pressed him, trying to regain the ball and prevent Manchester City from counterattacking.
Fernandinho only had time to glance in the direction of Lin Quan, and then kicked the ball forward with all his strength!
Go ahead, Lin!
This goal is very similar to the long pass and lob tactics used by Manchester City in their previous game against Barcelona. They kick the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt to find their own striker.
Real Madrid obviously watched that game, so they were shocked to see Manchester City playing this tactic.
If Lin Quan catches the ball, the defense will be in danger!
Never give him a chance to catch the ball!
This is the consensus in the minds of almost all the players in Real Madrid's backcourt at this moment!
