Chapter 078 Whose Responsibility
"This is a flamboyant team! This Chinese young man successfully stole the hearts of all Manchester City fans in just four months! In the game against Manchester United, he is a real warrior! Until the last moment, he still didn't give up! He won the match with Cristiano Ronaldo, and Manchester City also defeated Manchester United! After 15 rounds of the league, the points of this Manchester brother team have never been so close! At the end of this season, we don't know where Manchester City can rank, but at this moment, in Manchester, at least half of the city's population is shouting long live for a Chinese young man! He is the prince on the side of the city!" - Manchester Guardian
"Although the results of the European Golden Globe Awards have not yet been announced, and although Cristiano Ronaldo is still the most likely star to win, this time, Zhang Yang won! He led his team to beat Manchester United away! While taking revenge, the Chinese striker also raised his number of goals in the league to 18 goals! This is an amazing data. Who is in second place? It's Chelsea's Anelka. What is the number of goals scored by the former Manchester City striker? Ten! Although only half of the Premier League in the 2008/2009 season has been in place, we have to say that the least suspenseful thing this season has long been the competition for the Premier League Golden Boot. Unless Zhang Yang has a long injury, the Chinese striker will book the award!" - The Times 》
"We beat Arsenal 6-1 at home and Manchester United 4-0 away! This is the answer that Manchester City has handed in in the past two weeks! After four rounds of defeat, under the leadership of Zhang Yang, the energy of the blue moon is enough to overturn the roof of the whole league!" - Daily Mirror
"Director Zhang Yang directed a great victory. Manchester City won Manchester United 4-3 away! Now, in the standings, Mark. Hughes' team's score reached 27 points, ahead of them are 31 points Liverpool and Chelsea, Manchester United points 28 points, they have one point more than Manchester City, and Arsenal not only temporarily came out of the bis6 defeat to Manchester City after a crucial victory, he Our points have also reached 26 points, only one point behind Manchester City and ranking fifth. However, it is worth mentioning that Liverpool has one less game, and their match with West Ham United will not be held until tomorrow!" - English Premier League official website!
After the game, Zhang Yang and Manchester City have become the focus of countless media praise, especially Zhang Yang, which has won overwhelming praise. The media put together Manchester City's 6-1 victory over Arsenal at home and the away 4-0 win over Manchester United, saying that the past two weeks have been enough to record the history of Manchester City. .
On the official website of the English Premier League, it also gave great praise to Zhang Yang's performance, praising Manchester City's current points ranking in the league.
And Arsenal was praised at the same time as Manchester City. This team was slaughtered 6 to 2 by Manchester City in the last game. In this round, it visited Stamford Bridge Stadium. Under the condition that everyone was not optimistic, Arsenal won Chelsea 3-1 away!
The three goals in this game are all from Arsenal players. An attack from Chelsea on the right side in the first half caused Arsenal central defender Julu to tackle the ball. However, in the second half, Arsenal's Van Persie scored twice in three minutes to overtake the score. However, the biggest controversy after the game was the goal that Arsenal equalized the score. Van Persie's first goal was an obvious offside ball!
However, Van Persie's second goal is indisputable. The problem is mainly about the first ball!
After this round of matches, the days of media reporters are so comfortable. They don't need to think about how to write reports. There are too many highlights waiting for them to hype about the score match between Manchester United and Manchester City, as well as the London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal.
The direct dialogue between Zhang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo, Zhang Yang's revenge success, is the main point of the Manchester derby.
And the biggest attraction or focus of the London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal is the controversial goal scored by Van Persie to equalize the score!
" offside? No offside? After Chelsea's 1-2 home defeat to Arsenal, all the focus was on whether Van Persie's goal for the Gunners was in an offside position, while the slow motion showed that the Dutch were obviously in an offside position when receiving. Although Wenger and Van Persie themselves cleverly avoided this problem, Blues coach Scolari couldn't control his anger at all.
Indeed, such a cowardly loss at Stamford Bridge is unacceptable to the Brazilians. After losing this game, although Chelsea is now tied with Liverpool at the top of the table, the match between Liverpool and West Ham United has not yet started. Once Liverpool wins, Chelsea will be squeezed into second place! Moreover, losing to Arsenal also ended the Blues' proud unbeaten record of 86 consecutive home games. In addition, most importantly, Chelsea stopped moving forward, and Arsenal took the opportunity to narrow the point gap with Chelsea! ... Scolari was furious. After the game, he sneered at the referee of the game..." - The Guardian
"When did you hear me say that the referee was not? Never! After coming to Chelsea, we have experienced 15 league games, 4 Champions League games, League Cup and so on. I have never said anything to the referee, but now it's different. I'm not asking the referee for anything. I just want them to watch TV tomorrow, let the referee and assistant referee know that they are wrong, and say 'I'm sorry. Scolari broke out at the post-match press conference. He was really angry, because the significance of this game was indeed extraordinary. Chelsea could have opened the gap with Arsenal, and once Arsenal lost bis 6 to Manchester City, if they lost the London derby again, then Wenger's team could Being able to withstand a big trough is undoubtedly what Scolari and Chelsea are willing to see! Unfortunately, the result was counterproductive.
"People make mistakes, but the assistant referee destroyed my team. When players make mistakes, they make mistakes. Isn't the referee making mistakes? But I still hope that the referee did not deliberately target my team. The falling Scolari did not mean to stop venting. "After losing the ball due to misjudgment, it was difficult for us to play, because the players had difficulty concentrating. It was the assistant referee who destroyed my team. We lost because of a goal that should not be a goal, a goal that changed the result. If we win, Arsenal will be 10 points behind us, and they will lose hope of competing for this season's Premier League championship, but it's different now.
A day later, the result of the match between Liverpool and West Ham United was fixed in a draw. Liverpool scored a point, and they also surpassed Chelsea and were able to enjoy the feeling of leader alone.
Now. In the 2008/2009 Premier League, Liverpool ranked first with 32 points, Chelsea ranked second with 31 points, and the third place was Manchester United with 28 points. The fourth place is Manchester United's brother, Manchester City, whose score is 27 points. In the back, Arsenal followed with 27 points, and Aston Villa's 25-point league points ranked sixth in the league. As for the Black Maher City in the league, their dark horse has been much darker at this time, and now they have 23 points, ranking seventh in the league.
The Premier League is more lively than ever.
Liverpool has changed the decline of the previous seasons and is in the leading position. Can Chelsea 'return of the king' under the leadership of Scolari? Can Manchester United successfully defend its title? Can Manchester City continue this shocking upward trend? Can Arsenal maintain the glory of BIG4?
In the endless chatter after the game, the 16th round of the Premier League came quietly.
On December 6, the 2008/2009 Premier League season came quietly.
Manchester City played away against Fulham. This time, in the face of this average opponent, I don't know if it is a continuous fierce battle with Arsenal and Manchester United, which consumes the strength of Manchester City and makes them overdraw their energy.
In the final round of the game, Manchester City was tied by Fulham. Elano made a fantastic start for Manchester City, but in the ten minutes of the second half, Zhang Yang had to be replaced by Sturridge because he was shoveled by his opponent. Under such circumstances, Manchester City head coach Mark. The conservative personality in Hughes' bones is reflected again. He once again offered a conservative strategy, just to be able to keep the lead of a ball!
Unfortunately, Fulham equalized the score in the 73rd minute of the game.
In the end, Manchester City and Fulham drew one-on-one.
After the game, Zhang Yang looked extremely ugly. He refused all media interviews and went straight back to the locker room. The next day, in the Sun, there was a sudden revelation. In the player's locker room after the game, Zhang Yang and Mark. Hughes had a fierce quarrel! Although the content of the quarrel is unknown, it is certain that the two had a quarrel. From the post-match press conference, Mark Hughes's expression was quite bad, and Zhang Yang, as the most active star in the game, won the best player in the game, still missed the post-match press conference.
However, whether it is Zhang Yang or Mark. Hughes firmly denied the incident reported by The Sun!
The official website of Manchester City Club even warned the Sun, warning the media not to spread rumors and affect the current excellent state of Manchester City. And considering the previous bad relationship between The Sun and Zhang Yang, the Sun's move can be killed.
In other games in this round of the league, Hull City 2-1 Middlesbrough; Liverpool away 3-1 Blackburn; Arsenal home 1-0 Wigan Athletic; Chelsea away 3-0 Bolton; Manchester United 1-0 Sunderland; Aston Villa away 3-1 2-2 Everton!
Among the top seven teams in the league, all the other teams have won except Manchester City, which was forced to draw by their opponents!
Now, in the league table, Liverpool leads with 35 points, Chelsea follows with 34 points, Manchester United ranks third with 31 points, while Arsenal and Manchester City both rank 29 points, Manchester City ranks fourth with the advantage of goal difference, Aston Villa and Hull City rank sixth and number one respectively. Seven!
After this round, the media once again raised a new question about Manchester City.
That is, when this team is not stable enough to play well, it can now win Arsenal and Manchester United, but Manchester City will have frequent 'hibernation' and will lose points in some average strength teams.
The Times said in its column, "Manchester City lacks coherence, which is the biggest problem to be faced by the team. At this time, we can't even blame Zhang Yang. As a newcomer, as the team's new flag, he has done well enough, since Zhang Yang has done enough. Well, it seems that other players should not be held accountable, so who should be responsible..."
At the bottom of this comment, with a very interesting photo, Zhang Yang went straight to the locker room after being replaced due to injury in the match with Fulham, and Mark. Hughes looked anxiously at the field. The flag of Manchester City and their coach walked with their backs to each other...
