Chapter 242 A textbook goal from the world champion!

Before the game started, retired former Manchester United superstar Beckham came to the scene with his wife Victoria to watch this highlight of the Premier League.

As a member of the Class of 92, even though he had a conflict with Ferguson and left Manchester United, Beckham still has deep feelings for Manchester United.

Although he, like many Red Devils fans, doesn't like Moyes very much.

But he still looks forward to seeing the Red Devils defend their glory at home.

However, the result of the game disappointed him.

How did the Red Devils become like this?

"That Lin is so strong!"

Victoria didn't seem to see the disappointed expression on her husband's face. Seeing Lin Quan's brave performance on the field, she couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Ever since she learned that Lily Collins' boyfriend was Lin Quan, Victoria had been interested in Lin Quan and wanted to know how powerful he was.

Beckham nodded: "Lin is outstanding. He can even be said to be the strongest among the young players of his generation."

"Really, is it so powerful?"

Victoria's eyes shone. She didn't know much about football, but she believed in her husband's vision.

Before Victoria finished speaking, Lin Quan scored his second goal of the game.

Beckham spread his hands to her and said: 'Look, I just said he is very powerful! ' look.

"Can he still score goals?"

Victoria suddenly asked a question out of curiosity.

This question really stumped Beckham.

"It shouldn't work, right? This is Old Trafford. Very few Manchester City players have scored a hat-trick here. I don't think Manchester United players will give him such a chance!"

Only real players like them know what the Manchester derby means.

Being able to score a hat trick in this kind of city derby will greatly demoralize the opponents and make them unable to hold their heads high. At the same time, they can also gain the enthusiastic support of their own fans and become the heroes of the team.

Hearing her husband's lack of confidence in his answer, Victoria smiled slyly and said:

"How about we make a bet, I think he can still score goals!"

Beckham raised his eyebrows. Although he did not directly agree to the bet with his wife, he did not refuse, which was basically acquiescence.

An hour later, when he saw the bright red number of 3:0 on the scoreboard, and when Lin Quan turned up his collar at Old Trafford and imitated the domineering celebration of Manchester United King Cantona, Beckham felt a little... Trance.

He seemed to have returned to the 14th round of the 1994-1995 Premier League season when Manchester United played Manchester City at home.

In that game, Manchester United slaughtered Manchester City 5-0 at home. Cantona opened the scoring and Kanchelski scored a hat-trick. After being violated by the opponent's defender for a whole game, Cantona still stood with his head held high. , domineering like a king, received warm cheers and applause from more than 60,000 Red Devils fans in attendance.

Time flies, and it's almost 20 years in the blink of an eye.

The popular Manchester City derby back then is back, but this time, the King seems to no longer belong to Manchester United, but to Manchester City.

The fans at Old Trafford fell into collective silence the moment they saw Lin Quan score a hat-trick.

However, when they saw Lin Quan celebrating like the King of Manchester United at Old Trafford, they were all angry!

How dare he!

This is Old Trafford, how dare he celebrate in this way here?

In an instant, huge boos mixed with some curses poured out from all corners of the stadium and pounced on Lin Quan on the court.

Lin Chunquan turned around expressionlessly, looking around with his collar raised. The boos at the scene seemed to his ears like the wailing of his opponents. After hearing this, he not only did not find it harsh, but also found it very pleasant.

Come on, wail a little louder, let me feel your anger and pain!

It was just that his teammates were a little confused, so they all rushed up to him, threw him to the ground, and celebrated crazily.

Looking at the Manchester City players celebrating wildly at their home court, every Manchester United player was in despair.

Even when they saw Lin Quan's provocative celebration, they couldn't arouse any anger in their hearts.

The real Red Devils players have almost withered away a long time ago. These players on the field are like walking zombies, just wearing a layer of Red Devils skin, without the blood of the Red Devils in their bones.

On the sidelines, Manchester United's head coach Moyes seemed to feel a chill. He shrank back in his seat, wrapped in his coat, and looked at the collapsed team on the court with dull eyes.

What happened to Manchester United?

Like the majority of fans, Moyes also wants to understand this issue!

In the stands, Manchester United's meritorious coach Ferguson looked at the Manchester United players on the field, and then at Moyes on the sidelines. Even he couldn't help but sigh.

If before this game, he still had concerns about the club's plan to replace Moyes, then after this game, Ferguson was finally sure that Moyes was not the kind of coach Manchester United needed.

His coaching style and his personal temperament are completely incompatible with Manchester United.

Manchester United may not have the top stars, but they must not lose their passion, never give up, and never admit defeat!

Without the blood, passion and indomitable spirit, what is left of Manchester United?

Thinking of this, Ferguson sighed. This game is not over yet, but for Manchester United, this entire season has ended early!

Manchester United, defeated by Lin Quan's hat-trick, was in a state of confusion for the rest of the game, while Manchester City, who had gone crazy, had no intention of showing mercy.

In the 82nd minute, David Silva once again broke through Manchester United's goal and turned the score into 4:0!

At this time, the Manchester United fans in the stands had already begun to leave early.

They couldn't stand the result of the team losing to their archrival by a big score at home, and would rather leave the game early than sit here and suffer.

This may be a wise choice as City's attack continues.

In the 89th minute, Lin Quan broke through and knocked the ball with his heel to De Bruyne who was following up, assisting the latter to score another victory.

The score became 5:0!

This is almost a replica of the game 19 years ago. The difference is that the names of the two sides are reversed, and the one who was massacred became Manchester United.

In injury time, Manchester City almost scored again.

Lin Quan's free kick hit the crossbar and flew out of the baseline, letting the Manchester United fans breathe a long sigh of relief.

If this goal is scored, Lin Quan will become the first player in the history of Manchester City Derby to score four goals.

Finally, at the end of the game, Manchester City relied on the goals of Lin Quan, De Bruyne and others to slaughter Manchester United 5:0 in the away game.

After winning this victory, they not only consolidated their top position, but also used two big wins to strongly declare that they had officially come out of the trough.

Manchester City is still the top favorite in the league!

In another game played at the same time, Chelsea defeated Fulham 3:1 away. Chelsea's Schürrle also completed a hat trick, helping the team get three points. The gap with Manchester City remained at 8 point.

However, there are only 10 rounds left in the league, and the eight-point gap is already difficult for Chelsea to recover.

However, Mourinho was still tough-talking. When interviewed by reporters, he said:

"You never know the final result until the last moment. This is the charm of football!"

It's just that compared to the previous confident attitude, the madman's confidence seems to have loosened a little.

While Manchester City and Chelsea were competing for the Premier League title, in a corner where no one noticed, Arsene Wenger's Arsenal had begun to collapse and had quietly slipped to fourth place in the league without even realizing it.

In the last four rounds, Arsenal has only won one, lost two and drawn one.

They were first slaughtered by Liverpool 5:1 at Anfield, and then they were tied with Manchester United at home. They finally defeated Sunderland 4:1 at home and slightly recovered some of the decline. They lost to Stoke City, who had just been swept by Manchester City, with a score of 0:1.

It's only March, and Arsenal has already dropped to fourth place, and is about to start a battle to secure the top spot.

Wenger's team is indeed still a familiar formula and a familiar taste!

After the league is over, FIFA's match day comes. After the World Cup qualifiers are over, the national team actually doesn't have many game tasks.

Lin Quan has not received a call from the national team for almost four or five months.

He thought that this time it would be the same as before, but unexpectedly Bosque summoned him.

The Spanish national team has a relatively important friendly match to play in a few days in order to test the team's status and strength before the start of the World Cup.

This time, Bosque did not show mercy to the players, but recruited almost all the main players.

This is not good news for the international players who play for major giants and have leagues, cups and the Champions League to play.

However, in order to participate in the World Cup, no matter how hard and tiring it is, no one will refuse the call of the national team.

Lin Quan arrived at the Las Rosas base on the afternoon of March 3. Compared with the international players who played in La Liga, these players who played in other leagues came to report much later.

When they arrived at the training base to report, many people had already arrived and started training.

It was completely different from the first time he came to the Las Rosas base. This time, as soon as Lin Quan arrived outside the base, a large number of fans had already surrounded him and several teammates who had arrived together.

"Lin, you have too many fans!"

David Silva, Navas and others also enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by fans, but what worried them was that all the people present were Lin Quan's fans, and occasionally they could see a few holding signs with their names in support. of fans, but they were all pushed outside by the fanatical Lin Quan fans.

"Is it much?"

Lin Quan couldn't help but think of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. How would he compare with these two people?

Lin Quan has always been friendly to his fans.

Feeling the fans' enthusiasm, he smiled and waved at them.

Unexpectedly, this move seemed to ignite a powder keg, completely detonating the atmosphere at the scene.

"Ah ah ah, Lin smiled at me, he really has me in his heart!"

"Vixen, get out of the way, Lin is clearly waving at me!"

"Lin, I love you and I want to give you a monkey!"

The female fans at the scene crowded towards Lin Quan crazily, scaring Lin Quan and several teammates to flee.

If we fall into the trap of them, the consequences will be disastrous!

"Lin, your fans are so scary. I won't dare to come with you next time!"

David Silva had lingering fears. For the first time, he felt that women were so terrifying!

Garcia, Navas and others nodded, but Negredo was a little unfinished:

"By the way, why do Lin have so many female fans, but our fans are just a bunch of rough guys?"

This question caused a few people to be silent for a while, yes, why?

Bosque felt relieved when he saw that several people had arrived successfully.

The World Cup is only three months away. Players, especially the main players, must not get injured at this time.

Once they get injured, they will most likely not be able to make it to this year's World Cup.

This World Cup is very important for Spain, and Del Bosque hopes to use the strongest lineup to win the World Cup.

As the defending champions, as long as they can win the World Cup again, they will become the first team to defend the World Cup in the past 50 years.

And Spain, which has created such a miracle, will undoubtedly create their own dynasty.

No one can remain indifferent to this historic opportunity.

Del Bosque is naturally ambitious. He hopes to engrav his name in Spanish history.

However, it will be very difficult to win this year's championship.

"You all know the World Cup draw, right?"

Before the next day's training began, Bosque called everyone together and asked them with a serious expression.

After hearing Bosque's words, everyone nodded.

The draw ceremony for the World Cup ended on December 7 last year.

Spain is very unlucky. They are placed in Group B. In the same group there are three opponents: the Netherlands, the last runner-up, South American powerhouse Chile, and Australia from Asia.

Among these three opponents, except for Australia, which is a scorer, the remaining two teams are not easy to play, especially the Netherlands.

Because there are so many strong teams in Europe, strong teams such as the United Kingdom, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Portugal have all been relegated to the fourth tier.

On the contrary, the teams in the third tier are weak teams such as Australia, Iran, Japan, and South Korea.

This means that if you are not careful during the grouping, the number one seed may encounter a top team from Europe.

If the second seed is stronger, the death group will easily appear.

Unfortunately, Spain was the unlucky one, and they were drawn into Group B, one of the two deadliest groups in this World Cup.

Another unlucky guy is their warm-up match opponent - Italy.

Italy, the last World Cup champion, was drawn into Group D, along with strong teams such as Uruguay, England and Costa Rica.

It is even more difficult for them to qualify than Spain!

Considering that the American teams are playing at home, the two strong teams from Europe may not even be able to break through the group stage.

So, before the World Cup started, two teams with a sense of crisis arranged a friendly match to test their respective status.

Even if they lose, as long as their team's shortcomings can be exposed in advance, they will think it's worth it!

Against this background, the warm-up match on March 6 received great attention in both Spain and Italy.

The Italians viewed this game as a battle of revenge.

They had not won against Spain in six years.

In the two consecutive European Cups in 2008 and 2012, Italy encountered Spain. They played three games with Spain and only scored 1 goal. They were defeated 4:0 in the final and watched their opponents win two European Cups. champion.

In last year's Confederations Cup, they met Spain in the semi-finals and were defeated by the opponent 3:1. They watched the opponent win another championship trophy and achieved a Grand Slam at the national team level.

When facing Spain, Italy's consecutive defeats gradually caused them to develop a kind of Hispanophobia.

Not only is it difficult for Italian teams to beat Spain, it is even extremely difficult to score the opponent's goal.

If they can win this warm-up match, they can break their embarrassing winless history against Spain.

As for Spain, the team has not gathered so many main players to play a good game for a long time.

Italy is also a worthy opponent, and they also hope to use each other as a stepping stone to boost their morale.

Therefore, the two teams sent all their main players to the battle without reservation!

At 19:30 on the evening of March 6, Spain's home game against Italy was held at the Calderon Stadium in Madrid.

Italy played very proactively today, with Balotelli wearing a stylish hairstyle, and he was very active after the start.

In the 4th minute, winger Cerci from Turin broke into the penalty area from the right and chose to lob the goal from a small angle.

This kick was very threatening. The ball bypassed Casillas' fingers, hit the inside of the far post and bounced into the penalty area.

Balotelli squeezed away the defender and tried to shoot, but Ramos destroyed it in advance.

After being destroyed, Balotelli was very unhappy and had a quarrel with Ramos.

Both of them had bad tempers and went straight to the bull without giving in to each other.

Fortunately, the referee stopped them in time and did not intensify the situation further.

Balotelli is a world-class guy from the brain down.

It's just that my brain is not working very well!

After the quarrel between him and Ramos, he seemed to be obsessed with Ramos and seemed to want to prove himself by eating him alive.

However, Ramos is not a fool, so how could he be given such an opportunity?

With his experience and the help of his teammates, he defused Balotelli's threats again and again, so that Balotelli never succeeded.

On the contrary, after Balotelli's fulcrum thought went wrong, Italy's offense began to lose its threat. After completing the three opening moves, the situation on the field quickly fell into Spain's control!

Starting from the 10th minute, Spanish players completed continuous passes on the court. In just three minutes, they completed a total of 67 passes.

During this period, Italian players did not even get a kick from the football.

The football was passed from Spain's backcourt, to the midfield, and then to the frontcourt. Finally, almost by passing the ball, Lin Quan sent it into the goal guarded by Buffon.

The world champion Spanish team scored a textbook goal in a jaw-dropping way!
