Chapter 027 Hot Premier League

On August 20, Manchester Municipal Stadium, the weather turned cloudy to overcast.

On this day, the stadium welcomed a group of special guests.

This is a tourist group of more than 70 people from faraway China and are now visiting the honor room of the Manchester City team.

Miss Elysee, the tour guide, is introducing the long history and glory of Manchester City to these tourists. "Manchester City has won two top league titles in England, in 1937 and 1968."

"It's been too long." There was a sigh from the crowd.

"Yes, it's been too long." Elysee looked around and found that no one noticed this side. She whispered, "In fact, if you want to visit the honor room of the football club, you should go to the other side of Manchester. Compared with that side, this place is too shabby."

Her travel agency is a local travel agency. This time, she received a task to accompany this group of tourists from China to visit Manchester, visit the football club, and watch the game.

At first, Alice thought that these were Manchester United fans, because it was too normal. Manchester United had a huge influence in Asia. Every year, too many Asian tourists come to Manchester for sightseeing and games.

However, she was so surprised when she learned that the target of these people's trip was Manchester City. Alice is a Manchester United fan. She really can't think of anything worth visiting from that shabby neighbor. It's just shabby. Although Manchester City is very rich now, all Manchester United fans, including Alice, still look down on Manchester City from the bone, not to mention these trophies in Manchester United's honor room. That's enough to make Manchester City ashamed.

"We are here to see Manchester City." A middle-aged tourist said unhappily, "Miss, please continue." This is a fan from Harbin. He is a little angry that the female tour guide always seems to want to 'pull' them to the side of Manchester United.

Alice shrugged her shoulders. Since these people insist, she can only continue her work. Although she is a Manchester United fan, both as a tour guide and a fan, she knows the honor of Manchester City very well. This is because as a Manchester United fan, she has learned about the history of Manchester City, which is a compulsory course. When they face Manchester City fans, they will pretend to say the honor of Manchester City casually, and then... Then they can look at the embarrassing face of Manchester City fans. Manchester City fans will not talk about the glory of Manchester United even if they are beaten to death. That will last for several minutes.

"This is the trophy of the English FA Cup. Manchester City has won the FA Cup four times, but that was a long time ago." Alice paused for a moment, "1904, 1934, 1956, 1969. That's right."

At this time, the middle-aged fan smiled and turned his head to his donkey friend around him and said, "Although Manchester City doesn't have many honors, it is also a century-old store. Now I'm more and more looking forward to Zhang Yang's performance in Manchester City."

"That's right." In the crowd, someone responded, "It's nothing to play football in the giants. Zhang Yang is the biggest contributor to AC Milan's championship last season. Now, come to Manchester City and lead Manchester City into a rich family, which is the best. Forced."

"That's right, but in addition to publicity, there are really no players who dare to do this. If they don't do it well, they will ruin their career."

"Of course, who is Zhang Yang!" A very young fan said proudly.

Alice's Chinese is excellent. She can fully understand what these Chinese tourists are saying. Hearing these words, the proud female tour guide is thoughtful. These people came for Zhang Yang, which did not surprise Alice too much. However, she was a little surprised to see the proud expression of Zhang Yang from the bottom of her heart in the tone of these Chinese fans.

"Are you all flamboyant fans?" Alice asked.

"Yes."

"No."

I heard that some said no, but Alice was surprised, "No? How can that be..."

A man with a thick gold chain around his neck said, "I'm not a fan. I just came to see Zhang Yang play football. Zhang Yang is my fellow villager. I'll cheer for him."

Alice's impression of the speaker is very ordinary. In her eyes, she has long been classified as the kind of upstart in China, and this person's behavior is also like an upstart, shouting to invite other tourists to dinner or something, rushing to pay. In Alice's eyes, this is stupid. No matter how rich she is, There's no need to be like this. The upstarts are like this, she said to herself.

However, when Alice heard this man's words at this time, when she looked at him again, there was a trace of respect in her eyes.

"If Zhang knew that you came to watch his game, he would be very happy." Alice said with a smile.

"Thank you." The middle-aged fan said that he saw the female tour guide much better.

"Miss Alice." The man in the gold chain said, "Is Zhang Yang very powerful?"

"Uh-" This question suffocated the beautiful female tour guide, "Well, it's awesome. He's a very powerful star." She didn't notice that the person who asked the question smiled cunningly. He didn't mean any harm, but just enjoyed the pride and pride, which was the pride and pride brought to them by publicity.

On August 21, 2008, in the second round of the 2008/2009 Premier League, Manchester City played against West Ham United at home.

Although West Ham United is only a mid- and lower-tier team in the Premier League. And their opponent Manchester City is not very famous, but it should not be an exaggeration to say that this game is one of the most eye-catching games in this round of the Premier League.

This is Zhang Yang's debut at home in Manchester City. Since the announcement of the Premier League schedule for the new season, all Manchester City fans have been waiting for this game. Tickets for this game have long been sold out. Manchester City fan leaders have long announced on behalf of Manchester City fans that the whole stadium will be impossible in this game. Seeing even an empty seat, all the fans were ready to cheer for Zhang Yang.

In the first round of the new season, after Manchester City beat Aston Villa -4, the game became even more popular. In the past week, what Manchester City fans are most looking forward to is that time will pass faster and look forward to the game day as soon as possible.

Sky TV also chose to broadcast the game live to all of England, believing that even if it is not a Manchester City fan or a West Ham United fan. There are also many people who are interested in this game. They all want to see if Zhang Yang will continue to be in a hot state, and they all want to see what the Chinese striker's home show at Manchester City will be like.

"In this game, Zhang Yang will be extremely excited." Reinkel said, "I have studied this player. The more important and meaningful the game is, the more energetic he is. In this game, as long as Kubishli's team does not lose to Manchester City here. Even if they have completed the task. Reinkel sat at the commentary table and began to work. Tell the audience the analysis of the game through the microphone.

"I don't think Zhang Yang will allow himself to make any mistakes in his debut on this court." Eddie. Gray added: "He will not allow the situation you said to happen. West Ham United has no chance, because Zhang Yang will be particularly energetic in the game. Yes, he is like a bulldog. The bigger the challenge, the more energetic he is." There is a saying, Eddie. Gray didn't say, that is, can West Ham United really be called a flamboyant test? No!

"Battledog?" Reinkel smiled, "Your metaphor is really good. He is really ambitious, haha."

When the whole stadium was warm-up for Manchester City players, they entered the first **. They played three footballs in the stands of the stadium. Thanks to the support of the fans, the whole stadium burst into warm applause.

In the corner of the Manchester Municipal Stadium, there is a square, where all fans wear Zhang Yang's No. 10 jersey, which shows that they are Zhang Yang's hardcore fans.

Just the second game on behalf of Manchester City, Zhang Yang has countless hardcore fans.

When the players from both sides officially appeared and the live broadcast read Zhang Yang's name, the municipal stadium ushered in the second **. All the fans stood up and cheered Zhang Yang's name. Such courtesy is generally the team's meritorious officials who can only enjoy it when they are replaced at the end of the game. Manchester City. Fans treated Zhang Yang with great courtesy before the start of the game. This is to thank him for his wonderful performance in the last game. In the last game, Manchester City was an away game, and many fans did not have the opportunity to see Zhang Yang's wonderful performance in person. This is not too late.

At this time, the starting lineup of both sides of today's game was also played on the big screen of the court.

West Ham's lineup (4-4-2): 1-Green/21-Behrami, 27-Davenport, 15-Epson, 2-Neil/20-Fabert, 8-Parker, 16-Noble, 11-Etherington/9-Ashton, 12-Carleton-Cole.

Manchester City's starting lineup (4-4-2)): 1-Joe. Hart/2-Ricchutz, 22-Dun, 33-Kampani, 5-Sabaleta/6-Maclay, 8-Wright. Phillips, 7-Mudridge, 11-Elano/28-Sturidge, 10-Tang Yang.

Although Manchester City's formation today is four, four, two, but Wright. Phillips' position can act as a winger in advance at any time. It is not so much a four-four-two formation as a change in the four-three-three formation.

Mark. Hughes chose Daniel, who was only 19 years old, on the front line. Sturridge. It looks like, Mark. Hughes is still a little hesitant about the choice of Zhang Yang's partner, and he is still trying a new combination. Reinkel said.

"Whether it's young Sturich, Vasser or Bodynov, now it's not for Zhang Yang to adapt to them, but to adapt to Zhang Yang and take the initiative to adapt to the characteristics of Zhang Yang. Whoever can do the best first can occupy the position of starting striker first." Eddie. What Gray said was more thorough.
