Chapter 058 The Return of Zhang Yang!

The only good news for Manchester City is that Liverpool also lost in this round of the league, and the Reds lost away to Tottenham Hotspur.

Of course, maybe the English media will not say what the Red Army's defeat has to do with Manchester City at this time. Obviously, in their opinion, it seems difficult for Manchester City to return to the first group again.

After two consecutive defeats, the atmosphere of Manchester City's training base was a little depressing, and it was difficult for the most lively players to be happy at this time.

However, for the team, the most important thing is that Zhang Yang is back. There is nothing wrong with his injury. In the league with Tottenham Hotspur this weekend, even if Zhang Yang can't start, there must be no problem playing as a substitute.

There is no mistake in saying that Zhang Yang is the backbone of this team now.

In the head coach Mark. Hughes announced to the whole team that after Zhang Yang was determined to play in the game with Tottenham Hotspur, the atmosphere of the whole team suddenly became much better. The news was like sunshine, dispelling the haze in everyone's hearts.

On Friday, with one and a half days before the match with Tottenham Hotspur, the Manchester City team watched two games between Manchester City and Tottenham last season to discuss the team's gains and losses.

However, to be honest, watching the video of last season's game is of little significance for both Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.

This is because the current Manchester City team has changed a lot compared with last season, with many players. Of course, most importantly, the joining of Zhang Yang and other stars has improved Manchester City's strength, especially in terms of attack power. This Manchester City team can definitely rank in the top four in the league.

With Zhang Yang, Lobinho, Elano, Modrich and Wright. Manchester City, where Phillips's offensive line is not less luxurious than that of the rich.

Of course, it is not only Manchester City that has changed a lot. Their opponent in the next game, Tottenham Hotspur, has also changed quite a lot compared with last season's Tottenham Hotspur.

Compared with last season, Tottenham Hotspur has left 11 players such as Berbatov, Robby Keane and Malblak. Here are six players!

Of course, even after such a large-scale transformation of the lineup, Tottenham Hotspur alone is still quite strong. In addition to the active and former national scripts Telly, Lennon, Jenners, Rydley King, Woodgate, Dawson and Darren Bent, there are also international players such as Pavlyuchenko, Dos Santos, Bell, Zocola, Joel Luca and Hutton, even ranking the strength of Tottenham Hotspur in the top six in the Premier League. No exaggeration.

However, the lineup of a team has changed so much that it has a great impact on this team. This impact has two development directions. One is like Manchester City before two consecutive defeats. This change is beneficial. Under the leadership of Zhang Yang, Manchester City has achieved the best league opening in the club's history; and One of the effects is negative, that is, the team has to bear the pain of this huge change at the beginning. Tottenham Hotspur is exactly like this. The team is now going through a period of pains, with eleven players and six new players. The team's playing style is still being adjusted and adapted. Tottenham Hotspur is hired with a high salary. Ramos, the Spanish leader, said at the beginning of the season, "The team's lineup has been replaced on a large scale, and I need time to sort out a new main lineup."

Obviously, at that time, the champion instructor realized that Tottenham Hotspur's high salary was not so easy to get.

In fact, that's the start of Tottenham Hotspur League is quite bad. At present, there are 11 rounds of the league. This traditional Premier League team has a record of two wins, three draws and six losses in the league, with only nine points!

They are now ranked last in the league, and they are veritable deputy monitor!

In the summer, Ramos's team introduced many big-name players, and Tottenham Hotspur is also regarded as the most powerful club to challenge the "four giants" of the Premier League. But what no one expected was that before winning the eighth round, Tottenham Hotspur, who finished seven rounds, was only at the bottom with 2 draws and 5 losses. Even the Premier League promoted Mahul City could successfully take three points from White Deer Lane, and Tottenham Hotspur has fallen into an embarrassing situation. Not to mention hitting a place in the UEFA Champions League this season, if they continue to slide at this speed, Premier League fans may only see this veteran team in next year's Championship.

Before the last round of the league, Tottenham Hotspur even won only one league, and the media was already conducting a 'countdown to the end of class' for Tottenham Hots Spanish coach Ramos. However, Ramos was lucky. In the eleventh round of the league, they were actually at home. Biyi won the league leader Liverpool, which simply saved Ramos' life.

After the end of the game, the senior management of Tottenham Hotspur quickly stood up to refute the rumors. They said that they had never thought of changing the coach. Ramos's position was very stable, and they believed that Tottenham Hotspur was starting to walk on the right path.

Although Tottenham's senior management has been supporting Ramos so far, the answers on the table are really unsatisfactory, facing Tottenham Hotspur's worst league start since 1912. A while ago, it was rumored that Tottenham wanted to poach Manchester City coach Hughes. From this point of view, although there is a public opinion in Fleet Street, they think that Manchester City's current performance is due to Zhang Yang's wonderful performance, which cannot prove Mark. Hughes's coaching level is so good, but there are still people who are optimistic about the Welsh coach.

Not to mention whether Tottenham Hotspur will dig the corner of Manchester City, but it is not easy for them to change the coach, because Ramos's release is now a problem in White Hart Lane. The Spanish's contract with an annual salary of 5 million pounds will not expire for two and a half years. The forced dismissal of Ramos will undoubtedly cause great losses to Tottenham Hotspur. After all, they can't compare with Manchester City financially.

The media is also adding fuel to the flames. They even say that if Ramos' Tottenham Hotspur loses to Mark in this league. Hughes's words of Manchester City, let's not talk about Mark. Will Hughes agree to leave Manchester City to coach Tottenham Hotspur? First of all, let's talk about Tottenham Hotspur, the Spaniards should really get out of White Hart Lane. They even said bluntly that the owner of Tottenham Hotspur had issued an ultimatum to Ramos.

However, there are also people who have different opinions. In the face of Tottenham's problem of changing the coach, Gary, one of Tottenham's famous. Reinkel denounced the irrationality of replacing Martin Joel in the middle of last season. Tottenham has paid tuition fees last season, and the same mistake should not be made on Ramos again this season. The current Sky TV gold commentator, who scored 67 goals in 105 appearances for Tottenham Hotspur, said: "Look at Joel's performance in Hamburg now. Tottenham should not fire him at all. We now want to see how Tottenham treats Ramos. Obviously, if a club is to succeed, they must trust their coach. If Tottenham thinks Ramos is the right and right person, they will give him time.

Reinker also believes that Tottenham's current main problem is the sequelae after selling Roby Keane, Berbatov and divh in the summer: "After selling the whole front line, Tottenham's current attack has encountered problems. You can hope that Pavlyuchenko will adapt to the Premier League as soon as possible, but it seems obviously unrealistic now. Divuse is now pulling out the siege for Portsmouth. Berbatov is another situation. He himself wants to leave. Now he is doing well at Manchester United, and with Keane's departure, these are a blow to Tottenham Hotspur.

After watching the video of the game between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur last season, in the afternoon, the whole team of Manchester City mainly engaged in restorative activities, which made the players of Manchester City a little depressed. What was the team's defense general and the captain of the team, Richard. Dunn was actually injured during the restorative exercise. The team doctor quickly checked Dunn. Although the veteran is not a big problem, he is also very likely to miss the game with Tottenham Hotspur.

Before the end of the afternoon training, the first team and the youth team had a 45-minute match. The final score was 4 to 1, and the first team won.

After the game, the first team did not immediately return to the locker room, but stayed on the training ground.

The little players of the youth team easily got the opportunity to communicate with the idols. They looked very happy one by one. They gathered around their favorite stars to chat with their idols. Some little guys also asked for autographs and photos like star fans, and the training ground also began to be lively.

Looking at the players' mood seems to be much better, Manchester City head coach Mark. Hughes also smiled.

In the game against Tottenham Hotspur, Tottenham Hotspur can't afford to lose, and Manchester City can't afford to lose.

In this game, Manchester City must win, even if it is the bottom line, it can't lose again.

November 8, 2008, Manchester, sunny.

Manchester Municipal Stadium.

The 12th round of the 2008/2009 Premier League.

Manchester City's home game against Tottenham Hotspur.

At this time, the game has been going on for 73 minutes, and the score on the court is still 1 to 2. According to international practice, the home team is in the front and the visiting team is behind.

Manchester City fell behind 2-2 at home, and Elano's long shot opened the record for Manchester City. However, before the end of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur guard Darrenbent helped Tottenham Hotspur equalize the score.

Before the last few games, in the first 7 rounds of the league, Tottenham Hotspur scored only 4 goals, including Darren. Bent accounted for half, which shows the team's lack of attack power. You know, last season, Darren. Bent sat on the bench most of the time and couldn't compete for the start. But now, there is no Berbatov and Robby. Keane and Divford, and Pavlyuchenko has not yet integrated into the team. Tottenham Hotspur can only rely on Darren. Bent came to score a goal.

And David, the team's other attacker. Bentley had no intention to stay at White Hart Lane, and he even took the initiative to recommend himself to Liverpool.

In fact, on July 31 this year, Bentley officially joined Tottenham Hotspur from Blackburn, with a transfer fee of 15 million pounds. Now, Bentley is not happy in White Hart Lane. Due to Tottenham's surprisingly poor performance, Bentley has fallen from the throne of 'Beckham's successor' and became Capello's son. In the recent World Cup qualifiers in England, no Bentley's name has been found.

In fact, Bentley had already publicly attacked coach Ramos, believing that his command was unfavorable, which dragged down the club's results and ruined his chance to be selected for the national team. Bentley even felt an insult to himself for Tottenham's current ranking first from the bottom of the league. He even said bluntly to the media that his football life should not be like this. The implication is that Tottenham Hotspur dragged him down...

However, in this game with Manchester City, Ramos seems to have the heart to repay his grievances with virtue, and still gives Bentley a chance to start.

And this person's performance is also the best performance since the beginning of the league this season. Shortly after the start of the second half of the game, he took advantage of a set-piece to directly score the ball.

Two to one!

Tottenham Hotspur fell behind from 0 to 1 to 2 to 1 at Manchester Municipal Stadium, and they achieved a reversal!

"It's really interesting. Tottenham Hotspur only won one game in the first ten rounds of the league. They ranked at the bottom. However, in the last round of the league, they won the leader Liverpool 2-1 at home. Today, they actually scored two goals in a row against Manchester City, falling behind 1-0, reversing the game. !" Commentator Eddie. Gray said in surprise, "Is Ramos' spring finally here?"

"I've already said that Tottenham Hotspur should not be in such a hurry to change coach. Ramos has just taken up his post. This team has changed a lot in the past summer. The team is equivalent to starting again. It is not surprising that the results are not very good at the beginning. As long as Ramos is given time, he can lead the team out of the quagmire. As a famous coach who led Sevilla to the UEFA Cup, Ramos is still very capable. Reinker once again emphasized his support for Ramos, and the score on the court at this time seemed to be a proof of his words.

After 73 minutes of the game, Manchester City is still 1 to 2 behind, and there is no sign of equalizing the team's performance. Their attack seems to be very powerful, but there are not many attacks that really threaten Tottenham Hotspur's goal.

To describe Manchester City's current attack in one sentence, that is: the thunder is loud and the rain is small.

At this time, Mark. Hughes finally couldn't sit still. Originally, he didn't plan to let Zhang Yang play so early. After all, Zhang Yang had just recovered from his injury. What he meant was that the game lasted for more than 80 minutes, so that Zhang Yang would play to find a feeling.

However, the current situation, Mark. Hughes knew that it must be sent to Zhang Yang, otherwise, Manchester City may really lose this game.

"Manchester City has been replaced, Bojinov has been replaced, and Zhang Yang is going to play."

Seeing that Zhang Yang was ready to play, there were huge cheers in the stands of the municipal stadium. Many Manchester City fans stood up and applauded Zhang Yang.

Although only four games have not been played, for Manchester City fans, it seems that Zhang Yang has been away for a long time. Moreover, the current situation of Manchester City is much worse than when Zhang Yang was on the court. The fans miss Zhang Yang so much when he is on the court and see Zhang Yang return. Can you be unhappy when it comes to the game?

In fact, Zhang Yang did not disappoint the fans who like him.

His first touch after playing posed a threat to Tottenham Hotspur's goal. He caught the ball in the midfield and pushed the ball along the middle. After attracting Tottenham Hotspur's defensive attention, he suddenly split, Wright. Phillips made a cross from the bottom, and Zhang Yang had already hit the front of the goal at this time. He headed the ball, and the back point was Moltridge volley in the air, and the football was slightly higher.

Although there was no goal in this attack, Manchester City fans still burst into great cheers.

"After Zhang Yang came on the court, Manchester City's attack immediately picked up, and his effect was immediate. With publicity, Manchester City's attack seems to have woken up from sleepwalking and is alive. Reinkel said.

"It's not just that." Eddie. Gray said, "Manchester City players have confidence in Zhang Yang. They believe in Zhang Yang's strength. With Zhang Yang on the court, Manchester City players seem to have the backbone."

After seeing Zhang Yang playing, Manchester City's attack suddenly became a threat. Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ramos frowned. Although his team has not played against Zhang Yang, Ramos will naturally not be unknowing the 57 million pound Mr. Ramos, who is one of the best in football today. As a top scorer, Ramos naturally knows how powerful he is.

Ramos immediately adjusted, which was taken from the threat of publicity. The head coach of Tottenham Hotspur let his team shrink the formation for only one purpose. The current score, Tottenham Hotspur can accept it. There is no need to score more goals. As long as you keep this score, don't lose the ball again, for Tottenham Hotspur. This is victory.

However, it is so difficult to prevent Zhang Yang!

The game lasts for 81 minutes.

Zhang Yang carried the ball near the penalty area in the midfield, and now it is Ledley who is defending him. Gold.

Zhang Yang's upper body quickly shook, making the illusion that he wanted to pass the ball to Elano. Even Elano himself was deceived. He, who was going to go straight to the bottom line to help Zhang Yang pull open the defense, quickly braked. Turn around and come back. Prepare to catch the ball.

Elano's action deceived the staring Lidley. Gold. Rydley. Jin immediately adjusted his center of gravity and was ready to rush to Elano at any time to complete the steal.

This is the time when Zhang Yang is waiting!

At this moment, he quickly stepped on the ball behind him. As soon as he pulled the ball, he also twisted his waist, followed by a sudden acceleration from Ledley. Jin's side has been erased at high speed!

"Beautiful!" Eddie. Gray cheered loudly. This is very straightforward. In addition, Elano's cooperation is also appropriate. Of course, the commentator did not know that Elano was not actively cooperating, but completely passive, because Elano also thought that he was going to pass the ball to him!

passed by Ledley. After Jin, Zhang Yang made a horizontal inward cut and reached the front of the penalty area.

"Look at him! Don't give him a chance to shoot from a long distance!!" Gomez, the goalkeeper of Tottenham Hotspur, shouted for his teammates to watch Zhang Yang. At the same time, Gomez glanced at Robinho and others in the penalty area and shouted, "Don't miss anyone!"

Gomez knows that Zhang Yang can not only score by himself, but also his passing is amazing. It's simply impossible to guard against it!

Zhang Yang looked at the direction of the goal. He raised his thigh and made a long-range shot. Eddie. Gray had already opened his mouth and shouted, "Gang Yang shot--" At the same time, I am also looking forward to Zhang Yang's goal, and Zhang Yang's long-range shooting skills are also famous.

The media has analyzed that Zhang Yang, this Chinese shooter has a strong ability to grab points, fast speed, and good breakthrough ability. In addition, as a shooter, he also has a strong ability to hold the ball behind his back in the penalty area, and is not afraid of confrontation, and has a long shot!

Such a shooter is simply the nightmare of the goalkeeper and defender.

Tottenham Hotspur's central defender Woodgate immediately rushed up desperately to block Zhang Yang's shot, but Zhang Yang rubbed the football forward with the soles of his foot, and Woodgate immediately lost his center of gravity.

There was a burst of exclamation in the stands of Manchester Municipal Stadium, followed by cheers!

Shake Woodgate beautifully. It also pushed the atmosphere that became hot after he played at the Manchester Municipal Stadium to a new height. Tide. There was a huge cheer from the stands, and everyone was waiting for a wonderful ball to appear.

"This person is so beautiful!"

"Woodgate is like a fixed pile in training, easily shaken over!"

"It seems that Zhang Yang is in good condition. He missed four games and did not make his feet feel cool! I really believe that he can score a goal now!"

"It is unknown whether the goal is not scored, but after Zhang Yang came on the court, both he and Manchester City's offensive have risen. Tottenham Hotspur has been very passive during this period!"

When the commentators were full of praise for Zhang Yang's wonderfulness, Zhang Yang did not stop his progress.

Zhang Yang, who shook Woodgate, suddenly started. Accelerate and take the ball into the penalty area!

Tottenham Hotspur's defense was suddenly in a mess.

Those two people are so beautiful that Zhang Yang alone messed up Tottenham Hotspur's defense. The wonderful performance of the most expensive star in world football is a surprise for Manchester City fans and a disaster for Tottenham Hotspur!

"Dall the hell - stop him..." Gomez, the goalkeeper of Tottenham Hotspur, saw that the team's main central defender and former Real Madrid star Woodgate was so easily shaken over. He was shocked. He shouted for the player to make up the defense, but before he finished his voice, he raised his foot and shot at the goal!

Quickly swing the calf and pumped the middle and lower part of the football!

The ball also immediately left the ground and flew to the upper right corner of Tottenham Hotspur's goal.

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Gomez flew to the ball. He was still in the air. The ball had passed his cheek. He turned his head and saw that the football was still "flying" and moving forward. Finally, he stopped moving forward, because the net blocked the way of the football!

Football hits the net high!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!"

"ZHANG-GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!"

"The ball is in!"

"Two to two! Zhang Yang scored a goal! A very beautiful goal! He took the ball from the midfield and scored after two shots in a row! Whether it's Lydeley. King or Woodgate can't stop him, and their goalkeeper Gomez can't stop such a goal!"

"This is--" Reinkel also applauded Zhang Yang's wonderful goal. "This is the Chinese striker's twelfth goal in the Premier League this season! He is still leading the scorer list! After missing four games, Zhang Yang was still the leader, and his pursuers did not seize this opportunity! This season's golden boots, this Chinese young man will be the most powerful competitor!"

"What_a_great_goooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!"

This is Zhang Yang's goal a month later. This is the goal after he returned to the court!

I haven't played for more than a month. I can only watch my teammates play and the team's unfavorable situation, but I can only work in the stands and in front of the TV. It's too uncomfortable and anxious!

Zhang Yang is eager to compete!

Longing for a goal!

I'm eager to help the team with goals!

The feeling of scoring a goal!

Long time no see!

Seeing the ball score, Zhang Yang roared. He continued to rush into the net. He kicked the ball already in the net and kicked hard again! Vent the emotions in your heart!

Then he ran on the court with his arms open and rushed to the stands, with his back to the stands and his hands pointing to the name behind the jersey - at the same time, the live broadcaster at Manchester was shouting excitedly, "Two to two! Manchester City equalized the score - the goal is - "

"ZHANG!!" This time, all the Manchester City fans stood up and shouted together.

Zhang Yang is eager to hear his fans shout his name.

His fans are also enjoying the joy of his goal, and they shout out the name of the hero.

In more than a month, the Manchester City team began to decline after the high-profile performance at the beginning of the season. Manchester City fans are also suffering. They don't know whether this is the team's pain or whether the team is back to the same!

But it's all right now.

Seeing Zhang Yang come back and Zhang Yang's goal, all the worries and negative emotions disappeared!

All the joy and expectations for the future, just because of the return of publicity!
