Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 358 Manchester City's seven-time champion!
"China Central Television, audience friends, here is the 2014 Club World Cup final match between Manchester City and San Lorenzo that is being broadcast live for you."

"Wearing the sky blue jersey is the last Champions League champion Manchester City, and wearing the red and blue striped jersey is the Copa Libertadores champion San Lorenzo."

"Hehe, the jerseys of both sides, at first glance, it seems that Manchester City is playing Barcelona!"

"Yes, that's right, San Lorenzo's jersey does look a bit like Barcelona's jersey. Coincidentally, this team happens to be from Messi's hometown Argentina."

In CCTV, after the two hosts quickly introduced the starting rosters of the two teams, they began to chat.

"Before this game, Manchester City had won six championship trophies including the Community Shield, FA Cup, Premier League, Champions League and UEFA Super Cup.

If they can win the Club World Cup, they will become the second team to achieve six championships since Barcelona. "

"Coincidentally, the person who led Barcelona to complete this feat at the time was none other than the man who is now sitting in the coaching bench of Manchester City-Guardiola!"

When talking about Guardiola, the tone of the two commentators was full of respect.

The young marshal is young, but the honors he has achieved have attracted worldwide attention.

Moreover, the pass-and-control football he created can be said to have led an era and has become an object for many teams to learn and imitate.

If he can replicate the success he had in Barcelona in Manchester City, then he may be able to rely on this feat to aspire to the top of the world and become the best head coach in football.

Guardiola sat on the coach's bench very calmly, watching the game on the field seriously, and did not feel any emotion of underestimating the opponent because the strength of the opponent was weaker than himself.

This kind of game that determines the outcome is prone to capsize in the gutter.

As long as the opponent's tactics are arranged properly and a little luck is added, it is possible to beat them to an upset.

Therefore, Manchester City played very patiently in this game.

They are not in a hurry to attack, but set up fences first, stabilize their positions, and wait until they have tested the enemy's reality before launching a fatal blow.

Therefore, the first 10 minutes after the opening, the situation on the field looked very calm.

But after 10 minutes, Manchester City's offense began to become fierce.

In the 12th minute, Manchester City's continuous downfalls gave San Lorenzo's defense a slight flaw.

This flaw was immediately caught by the Manchester City players, and Lin Quan immediately ran towards the opponent's defensive position.

De Bruyne then handed the ball to his feet. The cooperation between the two was very tacit, and there was almost no time for the opposing player to react.

After receiving the ball, Lin Quan smashed the ball twice in a row. After dunking the opponent's No. 20, he broke into the penalty area and completed the first kick.

It's a pity that the ball was too angled. After bypassing the goalkeeper, it touched the post and flew out of the baseline. The Manchester City fans who came to the scene couldn't help but hug their heads and sigh.

The players in San Lorenzo were taken aback. Manchester City's unhurried pace in the first 10 minutes gave them the illusion that the European champions were nothing more than that.

But when the opponent suddenly speeded up and played an extremely fast pass and cut cooperation, they couldn't keep up.

"Cheer me up, improve my focus, and don't get distracted!"

On the sidelines, the head coach of San Lorenzo was very dissatisfied with the team's defense.

If they had been less lucky just now, they would have fallen behind by this time.

Compared with the head coach of San Lorenzo, Guardiola's mentality is much calmer.

What, is this unbearable?

We've only just started to pick up speed, and the next thing is the big game.

Guardiola's formation today is a no-front formation, and the core of the offense is obviously Lin Quan.

After leaving Barcelona, ​​Guardiola's excitement was uncontrollable to be able to coach a single-point blaster who was similar to or even more terrifying than the peak Messi.

How to use Messi well, Guardiola is so good!

From the 10th minute, Lin Quan's performance in the frontcourt became more and more active.

And under his tandem, Manchester City's offense has been wave after wave, and the opponents are almost out of breath.

In the 15th minute, Lin Quan turned around and volleyed from the penalty area and hit the crossbar, which shocked the San Lorenzo players into a cold sweat.

This guy is too active to be restrained.

Seeing that the conventional methods were not working, they immediately began to increase the number of fouls, trying to limit Lin Quan with fouls.

The referee of this game is Walter Lopez from Guatemala, and his whistleblowing standards are relatively strict.

After the opponent fouled Lin Quan for the first time, he immediately gave a verbal warning to the opponent, telling the San Lorenzo players to pay attention to the action scale.

When the opponent knocked Lin Quan down for the second time, he unceremoniously drew his cards.

San Lorenzo's No. 20 midfielder Ortigosa received his first yellow card of the game in the 17th minute.

Ortigosa shoulders a heavy defensive task. After receiving the card, he has a lot of psychological concerns, and he doesn't dare to make a move when defending.

After capturing this situation, Manchester City's players seized this weakness and beat them to death.

Ortigosa immediately suffered a tragedy. The opponent's rounds of attack made him flustered and made mistakes constantly.

His teammates had to come over to help, which caused the entire defense to loosen.

So, a flaw appeared!

In the 22nd minute, Lin Quan dribbled the ball into the penalty area after passing Ortigosa, who was afraid to tackle the ball.

After attracting the attention of the opponent's defender and goalkeeper, he knocked the ball across the goal, and De Bruyne followed up with a push and sent the ball into the empty goal.

The score was rewritten to 1:0, and Manchester City temporarily took the lead.

De Bruyne played the ball very easily, the opponent's entire defense line was disrupted by a breakthrough by Lin Quan, he only needed to rush up and swing his kick.

This kind of thing, even if it is an 80-year-old grandmother, can still score goals.

After scoring the goal, De Bruyne pointed to Lin Quan and motioned him to come and celebrate with him.

Lin Quan ran over with a smile, hugged De Bruyne and said to him:
"Is my pass okay?"

De Bruyne said seriously:

"It's okay, if it can reach my right foot, it will be even better!"

De Bruyne's dominant foot is his right foot, but who can control it when passing the ball!

Under so many people's pressing and double-teaming, it's not bad to be able to pass the ball, and you're so picky!
So when he heard what De Bruyne said, Lin Quan couldn't help but rolled his eyes:

"Come on, come on, try passing me a ball like this?"

Hearing Lin Quan's words, De Bruyne nodded:
"Just try it!"

……

"Pretty!"

"It's a beautiful pass!"

"Surrounded by three players, he can still pass the ball. Lin Quan's vision and passing ability are too strong!"

In the CCTV studio, the two commentators couldn't help shouting after seeing the ball.

The ball is mainly attributed to Lin Quan. After he passed the ball, the opponent's defense has completely collapsed.

It can be said that De Bruyne's goal is not difficult, but other people can also enter.

"There are always people who worry that Lin Quan will be like Messi in the future. With the growth of age and the accumulation of injuries, his explosive power and speed will decline, and he will lose his threat after he cannot continue to complete such sharp breakthroughs.

But in this game, Lin Quan used his excellent passing to tell everyone that even if he lost his breakthrough ability, he would definitely have his place in the team with his superb passing ability! "

"In fact, after Suarez came to Barcelona, ​​​​Messi also began to transform.

His number of breakthroughs has decreased and the number of passes has increased. In the Barcelona team, the proportion of Messi's goals has decreased, but the number of goals scored by Suarez and Neymar has repeatedly hit new highs.

This did not reduce Barcelona's combat effectiveness, but further improved their overall strength.

This year's Champions League will probably be more intense than last year.

Real Madrid with the BBC combination and Barcelona with the MSN combination, plus the defending champion Manchester City who is still strong.

These three teams are considered by the outside world to be the favorites to win the Champions League this year! "

……

After conceding the ball, San Lorenzo further strengthened his defense against Lin Quan while launching an attack.

They have obviously realized that if they can't limit Lin Quan's performance, then they have no chance of winning this game.

However, although Guardiola reused Lin Quan, he did not put all the offensive tasks on Lin Quan alone!
When Lin Quan was targeted, other people in Manchester City stood up one after another.

In the 42nd minute, Navas scored another goal after receiving a wonderful pass from De Bruyne, extending the score to 2:0.
This ball allowed Manchester City to touch the trophy with one hand, and they are getting closer and closer to their first Club World Cup trophy and their first six-time crown achievement!
In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, and the opponent decisively made a substitution, replacing Ortigosa who had received a yellow card.

But it was not a defensive player who was replaced, but an offensive player.

This means that the opponent's midfield defensive ability has not only not improved, but has also been weakened.

With fewer players in the midfield, San Lorenzo had a numerical advantage in the frontcourt, but could not get the ball.

Their midfield was firmly suppressed by Manchester City and completely lost.

After mastering the control of the midfield, Manchester City played the iconic pass and control football in Gua's football.

From the spot on, City's possession rate skyrocketed.

The ball is almost always at their feet, and the opponent can't even touch the ball.

Even if the opponent succeeds in counter-robbing occasionally, they will be immediately pressed by Manchester City's many people, and they will quickly grab the ball back.

At this time, Manchester City's players, except for the goalkeeper, all overwhelmed halftime.

They kept passing and attacking outside the opponent's penalty area, and the opponent's players could only be exhausted and passively transferred.

All of a sudden, Manchester City's attacks continued to launch, round after round, like a tide.

The San Lorenzo players are highly stressed, whether it is physical or mental, they are all experiencing huge consumption and torture.

This way of playing made them feel extremely aggrieved.

But they have nothing to do, the opponent's ability to control the ball is too strong, and they can't grab the ball at all.

Even if they get the ball by luck, they can't pass it out, and the opponent won't give them time to handle the ball.

On the sidelines, the head coach of San Lorenzo looked cold all over his body, and his body began to tremble slightly.

too strong!
It is too strong!

Such an opponent is not at the same level as the opponents they encountered in the league and the Copa Libertadores.

Before this, they had never encountered such a terrifying opponent.

Is this Guardiola's pass-and-control football?
Although he has heard of the big name of passing and controlling football for a long time, this is the first time he feels the oppression brought by the opponent's tactics at close range on the court.

He couldn't help but look at the bald man beside him with some fear. What kind of genius is it that can come up with such a subversive and creative tactic?

On the court, the situation is getting out of control.

The San Lorenzo players exhausted a lot of energy when they were mentally tense.

Although only 60 minutes have passed, their players can be seen gasping heavily, and some players even started to cramp.

The huge consumption of physical energy and mental tension made their movements out of shape when fighting, and the number of fouls and card takings increased rapidly.

In the 61st minute, when Navas broke through with the ball, he was fouled by the opponent, and San Lorenzo's No. 11 player received a yellow card.

In the 65th minute, Lin Quan was brought down by the opponent's winger when he dribbled the ball from the left, and San Lorenzo's No. 7 also received a yellow card.

Compared with their opponents, Manchester City, which controls the initiative, consumes less energy.

Therefore, after the opponent's physical fitness declined, they could no longer withstand Manchester City's attack.

In the 72nd minute, Lin Quan half-turned on the penalty area line and shot coldly, piercing the opponent's goal again and rewriting the score to 3:0.
This ball completely killed the suspense of the game. San Lorenzo's strength was already weaker than Manchester City, and they were still so far behind at this time. With the score and the situation unfavorable to them, they could not see any hope of reversal.

After the game lost its suspense, Guardiola began to make substitutions, trying to preserve the physical fitness of the players as much as possible, so that they can chase points in a better state after returning to the Premier League.

Before being replaced, De Bruyne sent Lin Quan a nanny-level pass in the 77th minute of the game.

In the sports battle, he calculated the advance and Lin Quan's stride frequency, and accurately sent the ball to Lin Quan's right foot.

The pass caused Guardiola to stand up from the bench with a jerk, eyes widening.

Lin Quan was also very surprised. He was just joking with De Bruyne, but he didn't expect the other party to do it!

Facing such a comfortable pass from De Bruyne, Lin Quan didn't waste the opponent's assists. He didn't need to adjust, just swung his legs on the spot, and sent the ball into the dead corner of the goal.

4: 0!

Lin Quan scored the fourth goal of the game and also scored twice in the final.

After Lin Quan scored the goal, Guardiola couldn't wait to use two substitutions in a row, replacing him and De Bruyne together.

When the two left the field, the fans at the scene stood up and applauded them.

In this game, fans not only remembered Lin Quan but also De Bruyne.

Especially his stunning pass at the last moment shocked the entire stadium.

After leaving Chelsea, De Bruyne has improved extremely fast. At this time, he may not be as famous as those world-class midfielders.

But in terms of strength, he is no worse than them!

Not long after the two were replaced, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

With 4 wonderful goals in the final, Manchester City beat their opponents, not only defended the glory of the European champions, but also won the first Club World Cup championship trophy in team history.

This is their seventh championship trophy, and Manchester City has thus been crowned the first seven-time champion in the history of the Premier League and even football!
