Chapter 125 End of the Season
On the visiting team stands at the White Deer Lane Stadium, more than 3,000 Manchester City fans, who saw the football draw a rainbow, hung into the dead corner and hit the net, all stood up, raised their arms high, grabbed in front of the teller, and shouted, "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!"
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL-!!!" Eddie, the gold medal commentator of Sky TV. Gray roared violently. In fact, after the start of the game, he had been looking forward to Zhang Yang's goal. Because this goal was of great significance, at the moment of Zhang Yang's goal, the long-brewed mood completely burst out. He continued to raise his voice and shouted, "Thirty-five! Thirty-five! Let's remember this number! Remember today! On May 16, 2009, the best scorer in the history of the Premier League was born, scoring 35 goals in the whole season! He is the best shooter ever! The season is not over yet, and he may set a new record at any time!!"
Now even Tottenham Hotspur fans at home are applauding Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang and Tottenham Hotspur have no old grudges, and he led Manchester City to step on Arsenal, which also makes many Tottenham Tottenham fans think that Zhang Yang is a hero.
At this time, the whole stadium is boiling, and Manchester City fans are forgetting to send cheers and applause for their heroes and their number one star. They are shouting, "Hooray! Zhang Yang! Long live! Manchester City!!"
Listen to this deafening roar. The whole stadium is almost about to explode. The Chinese reporters at the media table are also shouting at the top. Their excited faces turned red and they stamped their feet excitedly.
Zhang Yang is the pride of Manchester City, and the star has even won the respect and applause of the opponent's fans!
For these Chinese sports media people, this kind of pride has more meaning, because Zhang Yang is their compatriots!
Zhang Yang wanted to run to the stands to celebrate the goal with Manchester City fans, but as soon as he ran without two steps, he was surrounded by a group of teammates.
They slapped and shouted excitedly at their number one star teammates.
Modric shouted loudly at the top of his voice, "Zhang! Thirty-five! Thirty-five! ...This is crazy!"
Ronaldo also patted his head excitedly, "You've gone too much! Thirty-five goals in a season! How can this make me feel embarrassed! I will blush if anyone calls me 'alien' in the future!"
There are four games with Manchester City VS Tottenham Hotspur at the same time. At this time, in the live screen of the game, an instant subtitle message appears below:
In the 39th minute of the game, Tottenham Hotspur 2:2 Manchester City, Zhang Yang scored, this is the Chinese star's 35th goal in the Super League this season! This is a new goal record!
In this case, everyone knows that Zhang Yang has completed his 35th league goal this season.
He is the best striker in the Premier League so far!
Arsenal head coach Wenger did not watch the ball with his players. He watched the ball in the room with the coaching staff, watching the ball while discussing.
What to discuss? Discussing the gains and losses of Arsenal this season. In an interview, Wenger seems to be extremely confident that Arsenal will surpass Manchester City, but in fact, Wenger himself knows in his heart that unless it is a miracle, it is impossible for Arsenal to surpass Manchester City.
Why do you say that? Manchester City has worked hard for a season for the top four goals in the league. How can they allow themselves to make mistakes at the last moment?!
Although Wenger said that Manchester City is a new army, with little experience, it may collapse at the last minute. This analysis may be suitable for other 'grass creation stage' teams, but it is not suitable for this Manchester City, because Manchester City has publicity!
Although Zhang Yang is only 22 years old, he is an experienced player in the competition. In Marseille, he became the team's offensive flag and number one scorer. He almost made Chelsea hate him in the Champions League. In Milan, Zhang Yang grew into a real world-class star, the experience of the Champions League and other competitions. It's no less than some of Arsenal's veterans. With such a publicity, other Manchester City players may be inexperienced and worried about gains and losses, but Zhang Yang won't!
So, in private, when Wenger and his assistants discussed the match between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, he said that whether Manchester City can withstand the pressure depends on Zhang Yang's performance.
Sure enough, at the critical moment, Zhang Yang shot and passed, and made contributions to Manchester City.
In addition, there is another unexpected factor, that is Ronaldo! The Brazilian veteran, who has been labeled as 'considering retirement' by many people, suddenly broke out, which was also unexpected by Wenger.
Of course, the most important thing is Zhang Yang. Although Zhang Yang is young, he is already the backbone of Manchester City.
Wenger has only one idea now, that is, if time can go back, he will never hesitate at all in the summer of 2006 at the price of 15 million euros in Marseille! Sign Zhang Yang directly! Even 20 million euros, even the unimaginable sky-high price for Arsenal and Wenger, professors will not hesitate!
This is the best scorer in the history of the Premier League and the history of the Champions League!
It's a pity that time can't go back, and there is no if, let alone regret medicine.
Wenger sighed: "Missing him may be the most regretful thing in my life..."
In the end, the final score of this game was 2-0. In the first half of the game, both sides contributed four goals together, and neither side scored in the second half.
After more than 80 minutes of the game, Manchester City fans in the stands, Manchester City players on the bench, Manchester reporters on the media, and Chinese reporters have all stood up, and they can't wait to celebrate and cheer.
The score of 2:2 and a draw is enough to ensure that Manchester City will qualify for the Champions League one round in advance!
From the tenth place in the league last season to entering the Champions League this season, Zhang Yang and his teammates are regarded as heroes by Manchester City fans!
Especially by squeezing out BIG4 Arsenal, I was able to qualify for the Champions League next season. Zhang Yang and Manchester City did well enough!
When the whistle at the end of the game sounded, the scene was already boiling. The Manchester City players on the bench, the Manchester City players on the bench, the coaches and staff of Manchester City, and the Manchester City fans in the stands were all very excited.
Richards even covered his face and cried. He really didn't expect to enter the Champions League with Manchester City!
Richard, the old captain of Manchester City. Dunn's eyes were full of tears. In the end, he couldn't help his excitement. He lifted his jersey and covered his face with 'old tears'.
Sun Jihai was also excited with tears in his eyes. He was also a veteran of Manchester City. He never dreamed that he could enter the Champions League with Manchester City and play in a Manchester City jersey! This will also be the first time that Sun Jihai has set foot on the stage of the Champions League!
The day after the game, the whole of England and Europe were talking about Manchester City and publicity.
The English media praised Manchester City and Zhang Yang, admiring Manchester City for securing the Champions League qualification next season. He is not hesitate to praise Zhang Yang for setting a single-season goal record in the Premier League with 35 goals.
Other mainstream media in Europe mainly focused on Zhang Yang's report. Zhang Yang broke two records in his debut season in the Premier League. One was the Premier League single goal record. He scored seven goals in a game, which is almost an unprecedented record! The other is that in the Premier League, it has scored 35 goals in a single season, becoming the top scorer in the history of the Premier League in a single season!
"French Football" praised, "He was born to create!" After conquering Ligue 1 and Serie A, Zhang is on the road to conquer the Premier League..."
The Milan Sport cheered for Zhang Yang. "Before the season, people were worried about Zhang Yang's future in Manchester City, worried that the talented star would be mediocre with the team. However, at the end of the season, Zhang Yang led Manchester City to the UEFA Champions League next season! He himself has set a new record for scoring in the Premier League! This Chinese football star makes everyone look at him with new eyes again!"
In the 37th round of the league, in the standings of the Premier League in the 2008/2009 season, both Manchester United and Liverpool reached 81 points. Manchester United ranked first with the advantage of goal difference; Chelsea ranked third in the league with 76 points, Manchester City ranked fourth in the league with 70 points, and Asen Na's score is 66 points, and Aston Villa's score is 59 points, so Arsenal also locked in the fifth place in the league. Of course, this must be a score that Arsenal fans can't accept and don't want to face. As for the once dark 'dark horse' Aston Villa, they are 2 points ahead of the seventh Everton, so they can't say that they have qualified for the UEFA Cup for the time being.
After the away game between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, and before the next round of the league, the city of Manchester was immersed in excitement for a whole week. More than 70% of the people in Manchester were fans of Manchester City.

The whole stadium, and even almost the whole city, is lively beyond words.
The craziest scene of this game came when the game was 73 minutes.
"ZHANG-GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAL!"
Hear this super-long GOAL sound, you will know that this is Zhang Yang's goal!
After Zhang Yang received Modric's pass, he made a wall-to-wall cooperation with Robinio and entered the penalty area. In the face of the attacking Bolton goalkeeper, he was a beautiful hanging door!
This is also Manchester City's third goal in today's game!
This is also Zhang Yang's 36th goal in the league this season!

For the first time in the past few years, Liverpool has been so close to the Premier League champion, but it lost to their sworn enemy Manchester United in such a very weak and even aggrieved way.

Chelsea ranked third with 79 points. They won the FA Cup and avoided the embarrassing situation of empty-handed.

The day after the end of the season, England's Football Journalists Association announced the best lineup of the 2008/2009 Premier League.
P formation: 4-2-3-1;
Goalkeeper: Van der Sar (Manchester United) - Maybe other goalkeepers have more and better saves, but the Dutchman has been playing through this long season with remarkable reliability, which may be his last regular game as the main game of the first team. Liverpool goalkeeper Reina also performed well, but who let Manchester United beat Liverpool to win the championship?
back defense:
Glen. Johnson (Fortsmouth): He successfully joined Capello's England national team. He has always performed well in the struggling Portsmouth team, with no assists or defense, so he briefly attracted the interest of Manchester United, of course, if you believe the reports you have seen.
Kampani (Manchester City): It has contributed excellent performance to the team throughout the season. The success of the club has benefited from the offensive line led by Zhang Yang, but the defensive line where Compani sits is also the best. It is said that Compani is now the target of Manchester United and Arsenal, but it is not as easy as he thought at the beginning of last summer's season to recruit people from Manchester City.
Vidic (Manchester United): Vidic is a pearl of Manchester United's incredible defense this season. He just lost himself in the game against Liverpool. With his strong and water-proof Manchester United defense, he finally helped the Red Devils defend the Premier League championship.
Baines (Everton): Everton's full-back stood out in the fierce competition with Evra and Aurelio, and he dedicated his wonderful performance to Toffee throughout the season. On his own side, the defense is strong and the attack is strong, only David. Moyes's new achievements.
Middlefield:
Palacios (Vigan & Tottenham Hotspur) - The best way to determine the influence of Palacios is that he is in good shape in both Wigan and Tottenham. In the first half of the season, Wigan often played alone in the midfield. In the winter, he transferred to Tottenham Hotspur at a high value of £14 million. He proved his worth with his efforts to help Tottenham escape from the relegation zone and finally enter the top half of the standings.
Alonso (Liverpool): Alonso is a key player in the Reds' excellent record this season. Most notably, his ability to control the game has improved the team's playing style. He was almost sold to Juventus last summer, and now there are reports that Real Madrid is staring at him. If you let him leave, then Benitez is a fool.
Wright. Phillips: He grew up in Manchester City and became a club star. Later, he went to Chelsea and got lost in London. After returning to Manchester City, Wright. Phillips is rejuvenated again.
Gerard (Liverpool): In the fierce competition with the "enemy" Lampard, he was successfully elected PWA (Football Journalists Association) Player of the Year. He contributed a lot of goals and assists to the team, ambushed behind the striker to play the role of the second striker, and contributed terrible abilities to the Reds throughout the season. His performance was inspiring. He fully performed his iconic Gerrard moment, winning the team and scoring a key goal, but unfortunately, he could not win any championship trophy in the end.
Forward:
Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United): Compared with last season, he scored half less, but he ranked second in the Premier League scorer list. He is a big player in the domestic league, especially in Europe. Seriously, the Portuguese international has not made too many mistakes. Speed, strength and accuracy have been maintained throughout the season, both in the striker and on the sidelines. The rumors about Real Madrid are yet to be seen, but now we can admire his ambition to continue to succeed and make it a reality easily.
Zhang Yang (Manchester City): He is the Premier League Golden Boot, 36 goals, this is a new record! His goals are almost twice as many as the second in the scorer list, the World Footballer of the Year, and the European Golden Globe Player - Cristiano Ronaldo, and the Chinese star will undoubtedly appear in the position of the best striker. Of course, the number of goals is not the only criterion to measure Zhang Yang's achievements. He is the flag of Manchester City. Blue Moon will go to the Champions League next season. Zhang Yang has made great contributions. The Chinese star is a hero in the hearts of all Manchester City fans. He is a phenomenon.
