Chapter 123 The Key Battle

"After scoring the goal, Zhang Yang roared wildly to celebrate, and the camera on the sidelines recorded the indulgent cry of the Manchester City No. 10 star. Chinese strikers have scored so much this season. Why are they so excited? Because this goal marks him becoming a member of the Premier League "Legendary Star", which is his 34th goal for Manchester City in the Super League. It should be noted that this is in Andy. Cole and Alan. After Shearer, the third star to achieve such an achievement... This goal also set off an offensive frenzy in Manchester City. Blackburn was at Manchester Municipal Stadium, and their resistance was almost useless! Blue Moon moves forward to the Champions League next season with a big victory!" - The Times

This is the post-match report of The Times. In this high-profile game, Manchester City finally won with a score of four to one, Zhang Yang set the team's first record, and then Robinho, Zabaleta and Modric all scored goals. Zhang Yang was still looking for goals until the end of the game. He wanted to create his own goal record!

However, until the end of the game, Zhang Yang did not score a goal again, which was also the biggest regret of the game. Of course, you can't be too greedy. Zhang Yang equalized the goal record, and Manchester City won a big victory, which is indeed a perfect result!

After the game, Zhang Yang, who tied the single-season goal record of the Premier League, became the headline of many media reports.

Team News praised: "A well-deserved top shooter, an absolute genius!"

"Milan Sport" praised: Zhang Yang was born to hit the record! It's a record! This is the era of publicity!

After this round of the league, in the 2008/2009 Premier League table, Manchester United continued to be at the top of the table with 77 points. Liverpool followed by two points, Chelsea scored 70 points, ranking third, Manchester City's points reached 69 points, ranking fourth, and Arsenal continued to score four points. Ranked fifth.

The media also began to praise Manchester City and Zhang Yang. At the beginning of the season, when Manchester City club president Alfa Im shouted that he wanted to qualify for the Champions League, he was ridiculed and ridiculed. Now, the season has entered the final sprint stage, and Manchester City suddenly ranked fourth, which made many people fall.

However, sometimes, it really can't be praised. The media here is just singing praises for Manchester City, saying that they have not lost in the face of the traditional BIG4 of the league. Immediately, a week later, in the 36th round of the league, Manchester City lost 6-1 away in the Manchester derby!

After this defeat, Manchester City seems to have gone further from the Champions League next season, because Arsenal also lost in this round!

In this case, with two rounds left in the league, Manchester City is still four points ahead of the fifth place Arsenal. This point advantage is still relatively large.

This means that if Manchester City can beat Tottenham Hotspur away in the next round of the league, then even if Arsenal wins, Manchester City will lock in the Champions League one round in advance!

So, although they lost the Manchester derby and lost to their rival Manchester United, the good mood of Manchester City fans has not been affected at all.

Fans made an appeal on their forum, calling on everyone to go to the away game with Tottenham Hotspur in the next round of the league away game, go to London, cheer for the team, and witness the moment when Manchester City will qualify for the Champions League for the first time!

This will be Manchester City returning to the Champions League after decades!

On Manchester City's side, while on Arsenal's side, Arsenal fans shouted the slogan to defend Arsenal! Since Arsenal's game was the earliest in the penultimate round, they must win the game before they can continue to keep the hope of competing for the fourth place in the league!

Arsenal's opponent in this game is Manchester United!

This game is crucial for both Manchester United and Arsenal, because at present, Manchester United is only two points ahead of the second place Liverpool in the table. Therefore, the best result of Manchester United in this game is to win Arsenal, so that it is possible to hold the championship trophy to themselves. In the arms!

On May 16, 2009, the 37th round of the 2008/2009 Champions League, Manchester United played at home and Arsenal. After 90 minutes of the game, the score of this focus battle was fixed at zero!

Manchester United has reached the Champions League final, so although they also want to win this game, they will be more or less distracted and think about the Champions League final with Barcelona. Although Arsenal tried their best to defeat the main force, they still couldn't break through Manchester United's goal. Throughout the game, Arsenal got five yellow cards, which is rare for Arsenal, which has always been regarded as the representative of offensive football and smooth football.

When Zhang Yang and his teammates took a bus from the hotel to Tottenham Hotspur's White Hart Lane Stadium, they also learned the results of the zero-to-zero match between Arsenal and Manchester United.

The Manchester City team doctor took his old antique. This is a semiconductor radio, which is the heirloom of this person. What is on the radio is the match between Manchester United and Arsenal. The whole Manchester City team has been paying attention to the results of the match between Manchester United and Arsenal on the way to the game field.

"Zero to zero! The game is over! Arsenal and Manchester United played zero to zero! Wenger's team lost the last chance of redemption! Now, the choice has been completely handed over to Manchester City! Manchester City only needs to score a draw against Tottenham Hotspur! They can qualify for the Champions League one round ahead of schedule!"

"Champions League! We are going to the Champions League!" Zhang Yang shouted loudly. A face of excitement! He is now in high spirits. He can't make any mistakes in this game, and he is not allowed to make any mistakes.

"Champions League!"

"Yes, we are going to the Champions League! I really want to see the expressions of those who look down on us!"

"WOOOOOOOOOOOW!"

The atmosphere in the whole bus became very warm, and everyone was excited! In this game, they only need a draw to make history and complete the great goal of this season ahead of schedule, the goal that stunned many skeptics!

When the bus of Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur arrived at the White Hart Lane Stadium at the same time, the fans around the square were excited. Of course, Tottenham Hotspur can almost announce the end of this season in advance. They are relegated and have no possibility of entering the European arena. The whole team is very relaxed, and the fans are naturally relaxed. The most excited are Manchester City fans. The fans sing Manchester City's team song loudly. They spontaneously stand on both sides of the road and use The high-five way beats, no one commands, but it is neat and imposing. This is dedicated to the team of their heroes, and this is dedicated to the young men who are heroes in their hearts!

The police around the White Hart Lane Stadium and the square outside the stadium saw the arrival of the two teams of buses at the same time, and the fans of the two teams also gathered together, immediately facing the enemy, vigilantly scanning every corner of the place. Although the fans of Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City do not belong to those teams that are rich in 'football hooligans', considering that if a few drunken fans provoke each other, there may also be a bad conflict scene. Therefore, it has been found that they still dare not be careless. They must open their eyes and do everything. The flames that can cause riots are directly extinguished.

Fortunately, everyone was very rational and nothing unpleasant happened. After the game, the media also analyzed the background of the "peaceful coexistence" between the fans of the two teams. First of all, there is no old hatred between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, and there is no difference between the two teams. Another and most important point is that Tottenham Hotspur fans hope that their team can win, but Tottenham Hotspur lost to Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur fans. It's not unacceptable to accept this result, because if Manchester City wins, it also means that Manchester City will qualify for the Champions League next season one round ahead of schedule. Seeing that Manchester City beat their sworn enemy Arsenal to qualify for the Champions League, Tottenham Hotspur fans will feel a little more happy!

It was not until the players of the two teams got off the bus and entered their locker rooms that the fans gathered in the square entered one after another, and those who did not have tickets go to the nearby bar to pay for the game. The policemen breathed a sigh of relief.

Cut it all!

"Everything is normal, and the fans have dispersed!"

Cut it all!

"Keep on the alert!"

Cut it all!

"Received!"

After an elderly police officer reported the situation to the walkie-talkie and his boss, he leisurely took out his mobile phone from his pocket and began to play games. A young policeman beside him was still facing a big enemy. Seeing this, the elderly policeman put his mobile phone back in the police car and patted the young policeman on the shoulder, "George, relax. Everything is calm today.

"Why are you so sure?"

"Manchester City people come to watch the ball, not fight. Our people are just here to enjoy a game today. Nothing will happen."

"Your people?"

"I'm a Tottenham Hotspur fan, don't you know?"

The young policeman shook his head. He is not a native Englishman. He grew up in the United States and later returned to England. Therefore, he doesn't know much about football. After experiencing the security tension and popularity of American football and ice hockey, he has always been a little trembling.

"Relaxing, man."

At this time, the crowd gradually became scarce, and the singing in the stadium gradually became loud. The young policeman heard the singing of the fans in the stadium, and he looked at the high wall. It seems that it may really be calm today.

In this game, Manchester City showed the momentum to win the game without any temptation in the midfield. Manchester City's first attack hit the door of Tottenham Hotspur.

In this game, Manchester City coach Mark. Hughes sent the eleven people who were in the best condition and the strongest he could send.

In the position of the goalkeeper, Mark. The Hughes faction is Gwen.

The combination of Dunn and Compani is in the central defender position.

The left and right defenders are Wayne. Bridge and Richards.

De Jong and Modric serve as double midfields. Left forward Wright. Phillips, right forward Ireland. Today, Ireland started, replacing Elano, who was suspended due to cumulative yellow cards.

The two starting forwards are Zhang Yang and Ronaldo. Ronaldo's recent excellent state has also made head coach Mark. Hughes changed his view that Ronaldo was unbearable. Of course, Ronaldo can start in today's game, which is also thanks to Robinio's suspension. Robinio is also suspended due to accumulated yellow cards, so there is only a substitute striker on the bench of Manchester City.

"...Ronaldo! Beautiful shot! Cudicini made a wonderful save, and the old Italian goalkeeper made a world-class save.

Ronaldo and Zhang Yang's wall-to-wall cooperation, finally, the knockout completed by Ronaldo opened the prelude to Manchester City's offensive frenzy. In the cheer of Manchester City fans, waves hit Tottenham Hotspur's goal.

"...Manchester City played very actively on the road, and the speed at which they entered the game was amazing!"

This is natural. For this game, or so to speak, in order to reach the Champions League, Manchester City has been working hard for a season. Now, this game can lock in the goal of this season, achieve that great goal, and set a big exclamation point for this great season. All players can not fight. Life, can you not be excited?!

Ronaldo's shot did not score a goal. However, the goal is still coming soon.

In the ninth minute of the first half, Manchester City's continuous offensive finally knocked on the door of Tottenham Hotspur.

Wright. Phillips dribbled the ball. He attracted two Tottenham Hotspur defenders in front of him, and then passed the ball under his feet to the inserted Modric. Croatia made a direct shot. Tottenham Hotspur's defenders did not dare to neglect and rushed to intercept. Modric has scored several long-range shots this season. In the face of such a popular star, Tottenham Hotspur players can't help but be afraid.

When the opponent jumps up and blocks Modric's shot with his back. Modric suddenly passed a straight ball!

Zhang Yang received a pass from Modric at the front of the penalty area. After leaning on Woodgate to defend him, he turned around and hooked the ball into the penalty area. In this way, the Tottenham Hotspur players around him did not dare to rush out. They are afraid of being blown to take a penalty. Although Zhang Yang does not have the habit of fake falls, who can make it clear about the contact in the penalty area?

Woodgate is very experienced. When he was about to shoot, he gently pushed him behind his back, hoping that Zhang Yang, who was about to shoot, would lose his balance. But I didn't expect that Zhang Yang took the opportunity to turn the footwork of the shot into a pick:

Pick a pass!

The football flew to the other end!

Then people saw Modric's chest, which had been inserted in place, padd the football, and the football just padd to Ronaldo, who gently swung his right leg against the falling football.

A very clever flirting!

The football passed the hands of Tottenham goalkeeper Kudichni and flew into the net!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!"

"YES-TI'S-GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!"

Ronaldo's goal! Wonderful goal!"

"1: 0! Less than ten minutes after the start of the game, Manchester City took the lead! This is really an exciting start! Look at Zhang Yang's excitement..." The commentator shouted. In his sight, Zhang Yang began to run excitedly. He hugged Ronaldo, who began to celebrate the goal, and shouted in Ronaldo's ear!

More Manchester City players have also gathered around!

Zhang Yang is really excited. In this important game, he certainly knows what it means to be able to break the deadlock as soon as possible and take the lead first. Manchester City is very excited about this game. They only need a draw to qualify for the Champions League one round earlier, but this also means that the whole team of Manchester City is under great pressure!

Manchester City is a young team. The pressure is great and heavy. If Manchester City can't score as soon as possible, the longer it takes, Manchester City will become very impatient. In that case, there may be a bad situation.

Therefore, in this game, it is crucial for Manchester City to score early and establish a lead as soon as possible!

Manchester City's players celebrated the goal crazily. Zhang Yang shouted loudly. Ronaldo also shouted excitedly. When he transferred in winter, Zhang Yang persuaded him to come to Manchester City and said that he could help him heal his injury. Ronaldo was skeptical about it. He just came to the front line out of trust in his friends. There is little hope for Manchester! Now, the season is coming to an end. He not only recovers from injury, but also finds the scoring state. Most importantly, he can really feel that he is in good health!

Like now, you can play football healthily and enjoy the happiness brought by football wholeheartedly. I haven't seen you for a long time!

Ronaldo hugged Zhang Yang, who was still yelling. He shouted in the ear of his teammate, the good brother who was ten years younger than him, "Zhang, thank you, I'm so excited!"

Zhang Yang also opened his mouth and smiled. He hugged Ronaldo and pointed to the Manchester City fans on the visiting team stands in White Hart Lane. "Ronnie, next season, we will still bring them goals and joy on the Champions League!"

When he said this, he looked happy and confident!

PS: Ask for red tickets.
