Chapter 122 Mr. Thirty-four Balls
In the end, the final score of this game is 2 to 1!
Manchester City beat Arsenal 2-1 away, Zhang Yang offered two assists, and Kampani and Ronaldo scored. It was Arshavin who scored for Arsenal. In the pass after Walkot's breakthrough, Adebayor's header hit the post, and Arshavin made a make-up shot.
The Manchester City Evening News cheered for Ronaldo again after the game. And the media also began to report on Ronaldo's 'second spring' in Manchester City.
At this time, the happiest person is Cook, the general manager of Manchester City Club. Ronaldo, who signed in the free transfer at the beginning, was more out of the consideration of market development with the influence of Ronaldo. Unexpectedly, Ronaldo could make such a contribution to the team.
In this game, Ronaldo received a pass from Zhang Yang, followed by riding a bicycle and shaking Sarnia and then scored a goal video, which was also repeatedly broadcast by major sports TV stations in prime time.
Ronaldo's No. 99 jersey in Manchester City has been sold out in recent days.
After this round of the league, Manchester City still ranks fourth. For Blue Moon, winning this round is an extremely important victory for them this season. Now, they are ahead of the fifth place Arsenal by four points! On the road to qualifying for the Champions League, Arsenal is an obvious pole ahead.
And the competition for the Premier League title this season has also entered a white-hot stage.
Manchester United and Liverpool still have the same score, and Manchester City ranked first with the goal difference.
In the words of The Times, the Premier League in recent seasons has never been as fierce as this season. The competition for the championship is so fierce, and the competition for the Champions League is so fierce.
Why is the competition for Champions League qualification so fierce? Because Manchester City narrowed to two points just a week later, they were ahead of Arsenal.
In the 32nd round of the league, Manchester City was tied by Fulham zero at home!
This is also the first time that Manchester City has not won the opponent's goal in the game after scoring in ten consecutive league rounds.
In this game, the Manchester Municipal Stadium is full. Manchester City fans want to see Zhang Yang's goal and see if he can get closer to the goal record in the Premier League. Unfortunately, Zhang Yang's performance in this game is relatively average. This can even be said to be the worst game since Zhang Yang came to Manchester City.
The English media also expressed a more unanimous view after the game, that is, after nearly a season of hard work, Zhang Yang began to show fatigue. This is bad news for Manchester City, which is now in the sprint stage.
"Zhang Yang has fallen into a goal shortage. Manchester City has not scored. Arsenal has caught up with only two points left. Manchester City's dream of Champions League qualification is in danger of being shattered..." - Mirror
It's just that there were no goals in two games, and two assists were given in one of the games, but the performance in a game with Fulham was relatively bad. However, the English media has begun to hype about the goal shortage.
When The Times asked Zhang Yang about the 'goal shortage', Zhang Yang seemed disdainful of this question: if there is no goal in two games, is the goal shortage? I'm very happy, which means that everyone knows that I'm good. As long as I don't score, it's a big deal. Don't worry, scoring goals will never be a problem for me.
Looking at this, it's very arrogant.
After this, the Mirror also began to talk about the flamboyant 'arrogance'. And firmly believe that Zhang Yang has fallen into a goal shortage and is in trouble. This man is just stubborn.
However, as soon as they shouted out their sarcasm and criticism of Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang scored a goal.
On April 19, in the 33rd round of the league, Manchester City played against West Bromwich Albion at home, and Manchester City won the game 3-3 at home! Zhang Yang scored twice in the game, Robinho and Modric also scored goals, and West Bromwich Albion also scored an own goal.
Zhang Yang's opening twice also made the media who were still hyping that he was in a goal shortage shut up.
In this case, he has scored 33 goals in the Premier League this season, away from Andy. Cole and Alan. Shearer's record of scoring 34 goals in a single season in the Premier League is only one goal away!
This also makes the media and fans very excited.
Those media that had been criticizing Zhang Yang's poor performance in the game with Fulham immediately changed their faces and praised Zhang Yang.
Manchester City fans are even more excited. They are all waiting for Zhang Yang to tie and even break the Premier League single-season goal record.
The Manchester City Evening News even regretted that because Manchester City's next game is away to Everton, Manchester City fans can't witness Zhang Yang equalize the goal record at home, which is a great pity.
However, a week later, Manchester City defeated Everton 2-1 away, but Zhang Yang did not score. At the end of the game, the score was still one to one. Zhang Yang took the ball into the penalty area. In the case that he could also shoot, Zhang Yang chose a more secure way. He passed the football and followed up. Elano easily hit the football into the empty goal.
No one expected that Zhang Yang would choose to pass the ball, because everyone was thinking that Zhang Yang must especially want to score and equalize the record, but Zhang Yang passed the ball, so that Everton's goalkeeper and defender did not pay attention to Elano at all.
After the game, the media also asked Zhang Yang about this matter. He answered, "At this time, the most important thing is that the team can win. As for the record-breaking thing, I'm not in a hurry. There are still four rounds in the league."
Although Zhang Yang's words also revealed pride and arrogance, many media still gave high praise to Zhang Yang this time.
"Zhang Yang is becoming more and more like a qualified leader. He is very mature now. He is leading Manchester City on the right path." - BBC!
After this round of the league, Manchester United still ranked first in the 2008/2009 Premier League table. Their score is 74 points, while Liverpool's score is 72 points, ranking second, Chelsea third with 67 points, Manchester City fourth with 66 points, Arsenal and The difference between Manchester City and Manchester City has once again been narrowed to four points, and their score is 62 points.
Here, I have to mention the team that was once the darkest horse in the Premier League this season - Aston Villa. Now, Aston Villa's points are 55 points, ranking sixth, and there is almost no hope of competing for the fourth place in the league. When the media talked about Aston Villa, they also sighed. This team, which once ranked third in the league, was defeated by Manchester City eight to three. After that long game, Aston Villa lost many rounds, and their rankings declined all the way, from the third place in the league to the current United. The sixth place in the competition.
The Sun also joked that what Aston Villa fans hate most now is Zhang Yang. In the long game with Aston Villa, Zhang Yang scored seven goals in a single game, which is a classic of Zhang Yang's career. Isn't it a nightmare in the hearts of Aston Villa fans?
On May 2, 2009, in the 35th round of the 2008/2009 Premier League, Manchester City welcomed Blackburn at home.
This game has also become the focus of media and fans.
The reason why it attracts attention is not because Blackburn is strong enough to make this game a strong dialogue, but because in this game, Zhang Yang only needs to score another goal to equal Andy. Cole and Alan. Shearer holds the Premier League record of 34 goals in a single season!
The Manchester Municipal Stadium is full!
Manchester City fans all want to witness the moment when Zhang Yang equalizes the record!
In the eyes of Manchester City fans, this glory belongs to publicity and belongs to them! Zhang Yang is the flag of Manchester City! Now, all over the world, when it comes to publicity, people think of Manchester City. When it comes to Manchester City, they must think that this is a publicity team!
It's just that even Manchester City fans didn't expect that the goal would come so fast and wonderful!
The game lasts until the sixth minute.
This is Nelson's pass to Tugay. Tugay dribbled the ball, and De Jong took a vicious tackle. Tugay was also shocked by the Dutch's vicious appearance and jumped up quickly, but the football was left by Derong.
De Jong put his left hand on the ground and quickly got up. He passed the football to Wright. Phillips. Wright. Phillips rushed more than ten meters with the ball when he came up, which immediately alerted the Blackburn player and came up to intercept him, Wright. After Phillips saw that his sprint attracted Blake's local defensive attention, he immediately shifted the football foot to the foot of Elano, who had been inserted at high speed.
Manchester City's offensive pass after this break is fast and decisive, and the overall running position and reception are very orderly and timely, especially the propulsion speed, which is quite fast.
Before the game, Zhang Yang promised the whole team that if he could score a goal in this game and the whole team won the game, he would invite the whole team to a big meal!
Invite the whole team to have a big meal as a reward, which is just a promotion. Now the whole team of Manchester City should be said to be united. The whole team is like a tightened clockwork, sprinting!
"Just like a calculation, Manchester City passed the football from the backcourt to the front with a few kicks, and the counterattack speed is quite fast... It seems that they are well prepared for today's game."
Elano advanced with the ball at high speed. He strode the ball and suddenly split the football when Peterson came up to intercept.
"Sun Jihai is here! He received a pass.
This game is Sun Jihai's first start this season. Most of the time this season, Sun Jihai plays as a substitute. Of course, this is also in line with the positioning of a veteran. Sun Jihai is very satisfied to be able to stay in Manchester City and experience a fantastic season with the team he has played for for many years.
Richards was injured in training, so Sun Jihai was able to start in today's game.
"Pay attention to his passing!" Blackburn goalkeeper Robinson roared loudly. Seeing Sun Jihai's sudden assist, he was immediately alert. Manchester City's counterattack was very sharp. Even Sun Jihai was overwhelmed at the beginning. Manchester City's desire to attack today is very strong.
At this moment, Robinho and Zhang Yang have rushed to the penalty area and are ready to grab the goal.
Robinson didn't dare to be careless and reminded everyone to be vigilant.
Sun Jihai stopped, pulled the football back, carried Andrews with his body, and then passed the football to Wright, who came to pick it up. Phillips, who did not stop the ball, passed the ball immediately.
Wright. Phillips did not pass it to Zhang Yang and Robinho, who were enveloping in the middle. Instead, he passed the football to Modric, who ran to pick it up.
"Be careful of their two-to-one cooperation!" Aston Villa midfielder Villanova shouted when he was making up for the defense. He thought it was Wright. Phillips wants to cooperate with Modric and work on the sidelines. After all, Wright. Phillips's inner shot after driking the ball on the side, which was an English player's specialty, and Blackburn couldn't help but pay no attention.
Blackburn players immediately rushed to the containment and didn't let Wright. Phillips and Modric played out the side attack.
Blackburn's left-back Vanoke did not react slowly, and he immediately followed Modric.
At the same time, Samba, who returned to the defense, also went up to keep an eye on Sun Jihai.
"Manchester City's counterattack was curbed, Blackburn's defense was very timely, Manchester City's attack soon reached an impasse, and Blackburn's defense, which had already returned, was very stable." Blackburn's commentator said, "Well done! This time, they completed the defensive task well.
However, the football is still at Modric's feet, and Manchester City is still controlling the ball, so it can't be said that Manchester City's attack is over.
Elano came to answer, and he reached out for the ball.
"Watch him!" Nelson shouted in the penalty area. He saw Elano's action, and Andrews immediately went up and stuck to Elano.
At this time, Manchester City captain Richard. Dunn didn't know when the assist came up. He ran over. Modric immediately saw him in the seam and immediately passed the football to Dunn, who came to pick him up.
Dunn's foot was about to shoot from a long distance. Vanook was shocked. He quickly put aside Modric and came to block Dunn's shot. Dun was a defender. Although his shot was not very good, there were many people in the penalty area now. In case he hit someone with a change line, it would be dangerous. Moreover, you don't rule out the possibility of a super world wave in case Deng En's character breaks out.
Dunn is naturally very clear about his shooting method. He did not intend to shoot by himself. When he saw Vanoc was fooled, he immediately buckled back the football and returned the football to Modric. Now, Vanoc was mobilized by him. Modric's side, no Someone is defending.
Modric did not stop the ball. He passed the football to Wright. Phillips. The latter also didn't stop the ball. He passed the ball, but Wright. The destination of Phillips' pass is not in the penalty area, but outside the penalty area!
"Zhang-Yang!!"
"WWOWOWOWOOOOOOOW-ZHANG!"
The commentator shouted.
It should have been in Blackburn's restricted area, but now it appears outside Blackburn's restricted area. It is about 30 meters away from the goal.
"Zhang - when did he appear there - by his side -"
The commentator said the most critical point of the problem, Zhang Yang, who appeared outside the penalty area, and now there is no one around Zhang Yang to defend!
Zhang Yang received Wright. After Phillips' ball. Forward.
Blackburn's defenders were shocked. They knew that this was the rhythm of long-range shooting. They put the football in front of them, adjusted their steps, and then a long-range shot!
Vilannueva is the closest to Zhang Yang. He shouted at his teammates, asking them to make up for the empty space after he left, and quickly greeted him alone.
Vyrannueva naturally knew how powerful Zhang Yang was. He didn't dare to be careless. Virannueva was quite fierce. He immediately shoveled - directly shoveling fiercely with Zhang Yang's legs.
At this time, Zhang Yang had just adjusted his step point and was about to swung his foot to shoot from a long distance. He saw the flying shovel of Vilannuwa coming!
If it is an ordinary striker, he may be in a hurry at this time. At least he will not continue to insist on completing the shooting action. However, Zhang Yang is different. At this time, he chose to believe in his own feeling. He feels that his step is well adjusted, and the shooting is very good!
This ball may play!
Therefore, Zhang Yang did not avoid the flying shovel of Vilanuva, but directly swung his right foot and shot at the football!
We have to admire the structure of the human body and its potential!
Although Zhang Yang did not avoid the flying shovel of Verannueva, it is precisely because he did not dodge the flying shovel of Verannuva, which also makes him nervous, and in the face of tension and danger, people can burst out great potential, which is the natural reaction of human body function!
So, Zhang Yang's shot is more powerful than ever before!
The ball speed is also faster than ever!
A muffled sound.
A crisp bang!
The loud noise!
From the foot of the football to the football playing on the inside of the column and pops into the net, the whole court burst into crazy cheers, even more than a second!
Blackburn's goalkeeper Robinson even saw a white light flashing, and then he heard a 'bang' sound, and the football hit the inside of the post into the net!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!" The commentator shouted at the top of his voice, "This is a super long-range shot from Zhang Yang! One to zero! Zhang Yang scored a goal--
"The 34th! This is Zhang's 34th goal in the Super League this season! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - HE equaled Andy. Cole and Alan. Shearer's goal record! This is a historic goal!"
"One foot can tear the air! This is Zhang Yang's thirty-fourth goal!"
"This is a historic moment! The third Mr. Thirty-four Balls in the Premier League was born!"
The narrators are shouting loudly.
