Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 347 Downturn
Di Maria, who sleepwalked throughout the first half, finally woke up in the second half.

After the start of the second half, Di Maria suddenly became active, and his breakthroughs on the wing created threats many times.

In the 49th minute, Di Maria was brought down by Demichelis when he broke through from the right.

Di Maria looked very angry. After standing up, he pushed the bull against Demichelis, and he was still chattering, as if he was asking why the other party did this.

The two are teammates in the national team, and their relationship is not bad at ordinary times.

But in the Manchester derby, Demichelis didn't have any intention of letting go, and he stepped down when he should, without mercy.

The referee was also not relentless, he took out a yellow card and sent a topaz card to the Argentine iron guard.

This is the fifth yellow card in this game. The number of yellow cards in this game seems to be beyond the average.

In the 54th minute, it was Di Maria again. He sent a cross after a breakthrough from the wing. Rooney squeezed out of the crowd like a small tank, stretched out his legs and tried to shoot the ball into the goal.

It's a pity that his legs seem to be a little shorter, and the ball almost slipped past his toes.

Seeing that his teammates missed the opportunity he created, Di Maria showed an expression of disappointment on his face.

Rooney himself was very annoyed, he was just a little bit short, if he was as tall as Van Persie, he would have scored this goal.

Van Persie, who is 188 tall, is also very annoyed. If the ball is in Rooney's position, then he can really reach it.

However, his starting speed was not as fast as Rooney, and he missed this opportunity after being a step slower.

There are only 10 opponents, but they have threatened their own goals one after another, which annoyed the Manchester City players.

They also gradually increased their attack on Manchester United!
In the 57th minute, Yaya Toure tried a long shot from outside the penalty area, seeing that the opponent's defense in the penalty area was extremely tight.

This kick was very threatening, but it was a pity that he couldn't hold it down, and it was slightly higher than the crossbar.

In the 66th minute, Manchester City took a corner kick. Manchester United defender Rojo was seriously injured and fell to the ground when he was fighting for the top with Van Dijk, and was forced to leave the field.

When he was carried off the field on a stretcher, Rojo seemed a little delirious, which made many fans of the Red Devils start to worry about him.

On the other side, Van Dijk seemed to be fine. The two collided heavily in the penalty area just now. He just felt a little dizzy, and soon returned to normal.

Sure enough, the physical fitness of people cannot be generalized.

After Rojo went off, Van Gaal was forced to replace teenager McNeil.

At this time, Manchester United's two starting central defenders all retired, which laid a huge hidden danger for their defense.

And this hidden danger was soon detonated!
In the 72nd minute, Van Persie kicked a shot and was firmly saved by Navas.

Immediately, Manchester City launched a quick counterattack.

De Bruyne sent a super long through ball of about 30 meters and sent the ball to Jovetic's feet.

Jovetic was saved by De Gea before the psychological shadow, so he did not shoot the ball immediately after receiving the ball. After seeing De Gea save towards himself, he quickly passed the ball to his teammates.

David Silva fired angrily at the ball, De Gea missed his defense, and the ball flew into the Manchester United goal against his fingertips.

3: 0!

Manchester City scored the third goal of the game!
After this goal was scored, Manchester City basically secured the victory of the game.

It is impossible for ten-man Manchester United to chase three goals in a row with only 20 minutes left in the game.

If they could really achieve this level, they wouldn't be so low in the standings.

Manchester United's players were in mourning, with frustration written all over their faces.

Before the game, they were full of ambitions, thinking that they could avenge their shame at the Etihad Stadium.

However, the cruel reality taught them a lesson, let them know not to have unrealistic daydreams during the day!

Some Manchester United stars did not seem to give up completely. In the 81st minute, Van Persie cut from the right to the front of the penalty area and kicked a low shot with his personal ability.

The ball was very threatening, but Navas concentrated, attacked early to block the angle, and blocked Van Persie's shot.

In the 83rd minute, Rooney suddenly exploded and passed three players on the left.

Although it was a bit bumpy, it came over.

Lu Xiaopang dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Facing the double-teaming of Van Dijk and Demichelis, he chose to cross to his teammates.

But Van Persie didn't know whether he didn't expect Rooney to pass the ball, or he was not prepared enough.

He failed to start it immediately, and watched the football fly in front of him and was cleared by Manchester City's defender.

Seeing that Van Persie did not receive his pass, Rooney was so angry that he wanted to curse!
On the sidelines, Manchester United coach Van Gaal couldn't help shaking his head after seeing the ball.

Manchester United's counterattack angered Manchester City, and they began to make consecutive substitutions.

Navas replaced Milner and Fernandinho replaced Fernando.

This is a signal to step up the attack!
In the 84th minute, Navas broke through from the right and made a pass. Lin Quan took the ball with his back and passed it back to De Bruyne.

After receiving the ball, De Bruyne broke forward and took a kick from the near post.

Carrick, who came off the bench, was very sophisticated. He took the lead and blocked De Bruyne's shot.

One minute later, Navas leaned on Luke Shaw to the edge of the small penalty area and shot vigorously.

With a loud bang, the ball hit the door frame and bounced out.

For a while, Manchester City's offensive was raging, and Manchester United fans couldn't help but panic again.

They have already conceded 3 goals. If they are scored again by the opponent, it will be a tragedy.

When Manchester United faced Manchester City before, they had suffered a four-game losing streak, and suffered two consecutive bloodbaths.

They were really scared, and they didn't want to be beaten into another tragedy.

Under this mentality, Manchester United's players looked forward and backward when attacking, and the offensive threat was greatly reduced.

In the end, the game ended and Manchester City defeated Manchester United 3:0 at home.

While winning another Manchester derby, he also defended his position as the leader.

At the press conference after the game, the reporters chased Van Gaal and asked a lot of questions very bluntly.

He made a bold statement before, saying that he would beat Manchester City away, but he was slapped in the face.

Being liquidated by the reporters at this time is well deserved.

Van Gaal made it his own, and after losing the Manchester derby, his situation became more and more difficult.

It is reported that Manchester United's board of directors has completely lost patience with the Dutchman. They have begun to contact other coaches, and it seems that they intend to change coaches before the winter break.

Along with rumors of a coaching change, there is also Manchester City, which has just won the game.

Not long after Manchester City won the game against Manchester United, news broke that Manchester City's coach Manuel Pellegrini had resigned as Manchester City's head coach due to his own illness.

The Manchester City club is currently in contact with some famous coaches who are idle at home to solve the problem of the team's lack of head coaches.

This news has not been confirmed, and the outside world generally has doubts about this news.

But Lin Quan knew about Pellegrini's condition, so when he heard the news, he believed it was true.

……

Pellegrini's departure has obviously had an impact on Manchester City's morale.

On October 10, in the fourth round of the League Cup, Manchester City, who were playing at home, had a huge upset.

They lost 0:2 at home to Newcastle United and missed the quarterfinals.

This is the first time in half a year that Manchester City lost at home again.

The last time they lost at home was against Chelsea last season.

Worse than the loss was that the team's main winger, David Silva, was injured in just 9 minutes, adding another general to Manchester City's injured camp.

The post-match examination results showed that David Silva's knee was sprained and he might miss 4-6 weeks of the game.

The team has just lost its coach and suffered consecutive injuries. At present, as many as 4 absolute main players have been absent due to injuries.

If you count Nasri who strained his groin in the training match, Manchester City's injury barracks can be described as overcrowded.

Low morale, constant injuries, and a dense schedule have combined to make Manchester City's prospects for this season look bleak.

Those experts and celebrities who praised Manchester City a month ago are now looking down on Manchester City.

"If Manchester City can't get out of the trough as soon as possible, the championship this season may be won by the Blues!"

"Manchester City needs to solve the problems faced by the team as soon as possible, whether it is the injury problem or the problem of the coach candidate, the longer these problems are delayed, the greater the impact on their record!"

"I think Manchester City should consider giving up some cup competitions and focus on the league and the Champions League. If necessary, even the Champions League can be given up. In this way, the impact of players' injuries can be reduced a lot!"

The outside world generally believes that the reason for Manchester City's full camp of injuries is inseparable from their intensive schedule.

There are too many high-intensity games, the players do not get enough rest, and the accumulation of physical fatigue can easily cause injuries.

To solve this kind of problem, it is necessary to reduce the number of games played by the players and allow them to get more rest. You can also hire the most professional medical team at a high price to track the physical condition of the players anytime and anywhere to prevent problems before they happen.

……

Under the background of the outside world being pessimistic, Manchester City ushered in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage.

On November 11, the Ligue 3 powerhouse Monaco made a fierce attack on Manchester.

While your illness is killing you, seeing Manchester City in a sluggish state, Monaco, which has just undergone a coaching change, very much hopes to gnaw a piece of meat on the defending champion.

However, their calculations were wrong!
Although the state of the Manchester City team is indeed in a downturn, there is still a man in their team that cannot be ignored!

"Lin, it was he who stood up at a critical moment and saved the team!"

In the 82nd minute of the game, relying on his super personal strength, Lin Quan forced his way into the penalty area, carried the opponent's defender and sent the ball into Monaco's goal.

This is the only goal in the game, but for Lin Quan, this goal is enough!
"Manchester City won all four games, accumulated 12 points, and qualified two rounds ahead of the group stage!"

"This result is definitely good news for the precarious Manchester City!"

"I hope that under the encouragement of this victory, Manchester City can get out of the trough as soon as possible!"

After winning this victory, Manchester City breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if Manchester City loses in the next two games, as long as Leverkusen cannot win the next two games, Manchester City can still lock in the first place in the group.

Therefore, the next two games can be given up strategically.

They can avoid the trouble of two-line combat and concentrate on dealing with the league!
However, the downturn still seems to be affecting the team.

In the weekend's league, facing the relegation team Queens Park Rangers, Manchester City's away game is still in poor condition.

In the 23rd minute, Lin Quan took the lead to help the team score and established a leading advantage.

However, this advantage was quickly ruined.

In the 37th minute of the first half, Austin's long-range shot helped Queens Park Rangers equalize the score.

In the 78th minute of the game, Demichelis made a mistake while defending. With his physical fitness declining, he deformed his movements and accidentally kicked the ball into his own goal when making a clearance.

The score became 2:1, Manchester City was cornered in an away game.

"Sorry, mine!"

Demichelis apologized repeatedly to his teammates.

When the team fell into such a downturn, he not only failed to help, but also sent the team into the abyss with one kick, which made Demichelis feel very guilty.

"It's okay, we still have time!"

Lin Quan patted Demichelis on the shoulder and said comfortingly.

Mangala's unreliable use and Kompany's injury has not improved for a long time, so there are not many people who can use Manchester City in the position of central defender.

For a veteran of Demichelis' age, he often played the whole game during this period, and his physical exhaustion was very serious.

Although he made such a fatal mistake, without his key clearances on the defense line in this game, Manchester City may concede more goals.

"Ok!"

Demichelis nodded heavily. He might doubt others' words, but he firmly believed in Lin Quan's words.

Manchester City quickly made substitutions, with veteran Lampard coming on to replace Fernando.

In the 78th minute, Lampard's long-range shot slipped past the goal.

In the 81st minute, De Bruyne's shot in the penalty area was blocked by the goalkeeper...

In the last ten minutes of the game, Manchester City launched round after round of fierce attacks on their opponents.

However, Queens Park Rangers, who unexpectedly took the lead, united as one and plunged into the fence, trying to hold on to this hard-won victory.

For them, these 3 points are crucial for them who are aiming to relegation.

Whether he can continue to stay in the Premier League next season may depend on these 3 points!

In the 85th minute, Lin Quan received a pass from De Bruyne. He observed the opponent's defensive position before receiving the ball.

The people in the penalty area are densely packed, and there is no gap at all. It seems that only long-range shots are the only way!
Thinking of this, Lin Quan flicked the ball, as if he was going to try a long shot.

Other Manchester City players have tried this many times before, and the Queen's Park Rangers players didn't take it seriously, they just raised their feet symbolically to block it.

However, the moment the opponent lifted his foot, Lin Quan turned the ball back again, activated it instantly, and wiped past the opponent.

The opponent was caught off guard and didn't even have time to foul, so he could only watch Lin Quan speed up and rush into his penalty area.

When the two defenders saw Lin Quan rushing up, they immediately stepped forward to block the attack, not giving the opponent any room to break through.

After completing the block, they expected Lin Quan to either rush to shoot or pass the ball.

However, to their surprise, Lin Quan neither passed nor shot.

Instead, he dribbled the ball from among them, and forced his way out with his body.

"This is……"

"how can that be?"

The fans at the scene and the opponent's players were dumbfounded.

They have only heard that Lin Quan has superb footwork and excellent skills, but they have never heard that he has such excellent physical fitness that he can break through the blockade of two defenders.

Is that human being?
boom!
There was a loud sound of a kick, and the football was almost deformed by Lin Quan's explosive kick.

The goalkeeper of Queens Park Rangers was about to make a save, but subconsciously withdrew his hand back.

Such a violent shot, if you really use your hands to catch it, you might break your wrist!

The football rushed into the goal net, but the net was propped backwards, but it was still rolling, as if it wanted to break through the obstruction of the net!
The strength of the opponent's shot is evident!
