Chapter 048 `Manchester Massacre`
The media is eager to get something out of Zhang Yang's mouth, preferably from the head coach Mark. What Hughes complained about.
However, they were disappointed.
Zhang Yang did not express any opinion on this matter, even in the face of the media's encirclement interview, he also laughed at this matter.
Is this still publicity?
Is this still the one who is domineering and must be reported?
The reporters were surprised.
Zhang Yang knows what he should do at this time. Although he is dissatisfied with the head coach's replacement and does not agree with the head coach's conservative tactics, the situation of Manchester City is very good now. Naturally, Zhang Yang will not ignore the overall situation and will not come out to make trouble at this time.
Since he promised Alfaim, the chairman of Manchester City Club, to transfer to Manchester City, Zhang Yang regards Manchester City as his own efforts. He has a dream here. He wants to work hard for his dream here. He does not allow anyone to destroy the good situation, even if he can't do it himself. He restrains his behavior. This young teenager in those years has become mature, or is trying to mature slowly and work like a real team flag. This can't be done casually. He still has a long way to go! Fortunately, he wants to be on the right path and has been working hard.
A week after the match with Chelsea, Manchester City welcomed Portsmouth at home.In this game, the whole Manchester Municipal Stadium was full. The ticket of 83 pounds was speculated to nearly 200 pounds on the Internet, and it was still priceless.
This is just an ordinary Premier League game, and the opponent's strength is not strong, but Manchester City fans are still enthusiastic.
Their team has never been as good as it is now!
Everything came so suddenly that some fans couldn't believe their eyes. All they could do was cheer around the team and witness their every game.
Manchester City fans in the stands put out a huge slogan, "We love you, Zhang!"
A player. The highest treatment you can enjoy from the fans. There is nothing better than this.
The Chinese journalists on the media table also attracted all the attention from such scenes. Everyone sighed with emotion. When domestic football was rotten, when everyone was ashamed to talk about football, on the faraway British Peninsula, on the highest-level stage of European football, this young man was loved by fans from the bottom of his heart. Whether in Marseille or AC Milan, Zhang Yang was the favorite of the fans.
He conquered the fans with his own goals.
It doesn't look like a league, but more like a feast, cheering in the stands. They shouted the name of publicity. Facing such enthusiastic Manchester City fans. Zhang Yang, who was warming up, could not interrupt the warm-up and walked to the most concentrated stands of Manchester City fans. Wave to them. Then he got more cheers and applause.
In the last game, against Chelsea, Manchester City was completely passive.
Now, this situation happens to their opponent today, Portsmouth.
Manchester City put pressure on Portsmouth at the beginning. In the face of this oppression, Portsmouth was extremely passive from the beginning. Even if they got the opportunity to attack, their attack seemed a little messy.
The cooperation between Modrich and Elano in the midfield is becoming more and more tacit. Maudrich and Elano teamed up to organize the attack, Wright. Phillips hit his opponent's defense on the sidelines, and on the front line, there is no need to say more about the threat of Zhang Yang and Robinho.
In the last game, Zhang Yang, who was replaced in advance and was full of anger, vented all his grievances to this game. He is on the unbridled defense of Portsmouth.
At the beginning of the game, Zhang Yang made a breakthrough in a beautiful high-level carry in the front court. After passing Troure, he made a cold shot, forcing Portsmouth goalkeeper James to make a difficult push.
"Compared with Robinho, who is also on the front line and also very fast, Zhang's breakthrough gives people the feeling that he is sharper, more resolute and bolder. He knows that he has a speed advantage and rushes to his opponent without slowing down. He uses the constant change of direction and changes in speed rhythm to get rid of the defender, which is Zhang's specialty. Play." Eddie Gray praised, "What's more rare is that Zhang's foot skills are also excellent. He has made great progress every season in these past few seasons."
"Robinho's feet are good, but sometimes he needs to be simpler." Reinkel said.
Manchester City's crazy attack was effective when the game lasted for 13 minutes.
Zhang Yang received a pass from Saballeta and headed the ball to the goal. To be precise, this was a relatively difficult header. Zhang Yang noticed that Portsmouth goalkeeper James was relatively forward and deliberately headed the ball to the upper left corner of the goal.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!"
"Hanging! Head the ball and shoot! Zhang Yang's header shot!! Look at James's eyes. He has nothing to do with this header. At this moment, he seems to have seen an alien! Manchester City took the lead! Manchester City has always had an advantage in the scene, and taking the lead is a matter of course!"
"This is Zhang Yang's eighth goal in the Premier League this season! He is far ahead of the others in the shooter list.
Portsmouth head coach Redknapp was extremely angry on the sidelines. He thought that the team's central defender Campbell could not successfully stick to Zhang Yang and gave Zhang Yang a chance.
If Redk Knapp is still very angry at this time. Then at the end of the first half, they conceded another goal. At that time, he was already helpless.
The person who scored this goal is Robinho.
Wright. Phillips's sharp breakthrough tore up Portsmouth's defense. This time, Kabul was deceived by his continuous shaking and lost his center of gravity, and he could only look at Wright. Phillips swept past him with the ball.
In front of the door, Portsmouth goalkeeper James is facing a big enemy.
Just in Wright, who James thought was Neche. When Phillips would shoot directly, he passed the ball to the inserted Robinho. What happened next turned Manchester Municipal Stadium into a sea of joy.
GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAL! Robinho scored two goals in a row!"
"Manchester City's signing this summer is quite successful from now."
"2: 0! The score before the end of the first half. Redknapp's face is like dead ashes! He obviously didn't expect that his team would face such a desperate situation at the end of the half-time!"
After two goals behind in the away game, the opponent's morale is like a rainbow, and there is a lot of intention to continue to kill. Can Portsmouth do anything in the second half of the game?
Looking at the way the Portsmouth players walked to the player's corridor in frustration at the end of the first half of the game, everyone knows that the game, for them, could almost be announced to end ahead of schedule.
On the other hand, the morale of Manchester City's players is high, and the players are talking and laughing.
The atmosphere at the Manchester Municipal Stadium is unspeakable.
The morale of the two sides is high and low, and the state is also very different. The overall strength of Manchester City is also stronger than that of Portsmouth, so the second half of the game is a little calm. To be precise, everyone's Manchester City team, as expected, set off a storm on the goal of Portsmouth and hit them full. Looking for teeth.
Portsmouth coach Redk Knapp used two substitutions at one time at halftime. He replaced Diop and Utaka to change the situation, but the situation was even worse.
In the 55th minute, the Irish long pass, which had just replaced Elano, launched an attack. Zhang Yang once again gained the upper hand in the battle with Campbell. He headed the ball to Mordrich, who gave the front of the penalty area. After stopping the ball on his chest, he directly swung his right foot and hit the goal, 3-0.
Manchester City's goal does not mean to end here.
In the 67th minute, Irish straight Sereit. Phillips, Wright. Phillips' front shot was blocked by James. Zhang Yang hit the football into the net with a beautiful heel with his back to the goal!
4 to 0!
"This is Zhang Yang's ninth league goal this season!" Eddie Gray announced the goal data loudly!
At this time, more than a thousand Portsmouth fans from afar in the stands were completely dumb. They looked at their beloved team and were beaten by their opponents. Although they were angry, they could only watch it.
In the 77th minute, Zhang Yang passed the defensive player's right cross, Wright. Phillips chose to knock back and started today, replacing Marklelele, who was suspended with a red card, and the veteran Harman, who was the starting midfielder. He made a beautiful cushion shot and scored the team's fifth goal, 5-0.
At this time, the camera gave a close-up to Portsmouth coach Red Knapp. The handsome man's ugly face looked like a frozen crystal pear.
In the 82nd minute, Zhang Yang received a pass from the right from Sun Jihai, who came on as substitute Richards. He did not stop the ball, but directly put the football to the penalty area, Wright. Phillips volleyed and scored the goal.
6 to 0!
The last goal of the game appeared in the injury time. After receiving a pass from Motrich, a shot hit the body of Portsmouth player Davis and scored the ball!
7 to 0!
This is also the final score of this game.
After the game, the front page of the Manchester Guardian: Manchester City Massacre!
Next to the title is the 7:0 score of the huge red font!
"At the Manchester Municipal Stadium, Zhang Yang led Manchester City to score seven goals in Portsmouth, which is also the most disparity score since the start of the Premier League this season. It was Arsenal that used to brew such a tragedy, but this time it was Manchester City. While defeating Portsmouth 7 to 0, they also continued to lead the table with a score of 13 points with 4 wins and 1 draw! Although it is too early to say that Manchester City has the strength to win the Premier League this season, this team with Arab capital has now been able and is already affecting the pattern of the Premier League... Zhang Yang and his teammates, in the past month or so, people who question them have had to temporarily Shut up. They made Manchester City fans look at them with new eyes.
While praising Manchester City, the other half of the city, which usually receives more praise and glory, is another scene.
In this round of the league, in a strong dialogue, Manchester United was tied by Chelsea, who lacked captain Terry, one-to-one away.
The Times also placed Manchester United on the operating table for dissection:
"In the peak dialogue of 'If you don't succeed, you will become Ren' (Fletcher), the once-leading Manchester United team failed to take three points at Stamford Bridge. After being equalized by the opponent in the first 10 minutes of the game, the Red Devils' record in the regular time of the 7 games of the new season was 1 win, 4 draws and 2 losses, and 5 points in 4 games in the league almost tied the club's worst (4 points) opening record in the Premier League's debut season.
After losing to Liverpool last weekend, they have been away from Stamford Bridge for nearly six and a half years today. Manchester United has indeed reached the point where they have to win, especially the same city's sworn enemy Manchester City to take the lead in the table, which is unbearable for Ferguson or Manchester United. In an interview, they talked about In this game with Chelsea, they all said with one voice that they had to win!
Fletcher, who scored two goals for the team in the first two rounds, said, 'After losing to Liverpool, Sunday is an important game. The important thing is that we can't lose too many games in the Premier League. The team is a difficult task now. The Premier League is a difficult league, and we must get back on track against Chelsea. Manchester, there is only one city symbol, that is Manchester United!'Manchester United's start at Stamford Bridge was as Scolari said: 'Manchester United controlled the 15-minute game, and they played better than us. And then scored a goal.' Indeed, Chelsea had some unlucky luck at the beginning. First, Deco was injured during the warm-up, and then Carvalho was suspected of a ligament injury and left early. Cech's rash attack almost let Rooney put the ball into the empty goal, and the Czech goalkeeper's subsequent throw of the ball allowed Park Ji-sung to score a make-up shot.
In the Tianwangshan showdown at Stamford Bridge, at the end of the half, Manchester United took the lead by one goal, which made the British media click on their laptops one by one, "It's dangerous to have an unbeaten record of 84 home games in the Chelsea League...".
However, the Red Devil who lacked Vidic in the 80th minute let the Blues lift the danger alert. Mikkel's free kick went into the penalty area, and Berbatov and Evans lost their positions. Karu, who had just appeared as a substitute, scored in the left corner of the goal to equalize the score.
The score of 1-1 means that Manchester United is still four points behind Chelsea, Liverpool six points, seven points behind Arsenal, and eight points behind their sworn enemy Manchester City!
Manchester United has no chance to defend its title? As soon as this view was put forward, Manchester United's star Cristiano Ronaldo disagreed!
This superstar, who is as famous as Zhang Yang, refused to admit that now Manchester United has reached the abyss of pain. "There is no problem with the state of our team. Last year, our start was similar to what it is now, but look at the scene at the end of the season!"
”
That's true. The first four rounds of Manchester United last season were exactly the same as the current situation, with 1 win, 2 draws, 1 loss and 5 points. In the end, the Red Devils won the club's 17th top league championship. Of course, the situation varies from season to season. In addition to the need for Manchester United to find a winning feeling in time and catch up with a series of wins in a row, it also depends on whether the "pressure resistance" of Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool this season has improved.
For the draw at Stamford Bridge, Manchester United's official website said it was a valuable point. Because Manchester United's performance on the field is indeed better than last week at Anfield. Although Ferguson's apprentices have not yet reached their best, the players are gradually emerging from injury and suspension.
Is 5 points in 4 rounds against Manchester United really the end of the world? The set of data listed by the British media may be of some reference. In the past 16 Premier League seasons, Manchester United has scored 9 points or more after 4 games in 8 seasons. As a result, the final number of championships is only 4 times, and the success rate of winning the championship is 50%. In the other 8 seasons, the first 4 games scored less than 8 points or less, and the final number of wins is 6 times, and the success rate of winning the championship is 75%. So this time, can Manchester United, which started slowly, stage another reversal to the top in the Premier League?
However, for Manchester United, the most uncomfortable thing for them now is that Manchester United, the sworn enemy in the same city, is at the top of the table.
