Long live the King of Balls

Chapter 149 Zhang Yang VS Messi 1

Seeing Zhang Yang's goal, he scored his 100th goal on behalf of Manchester City.

A large well-prepared banner unfolds in the central stands of the Manchester Municipal Stadium, which is also the stands of the hardcore fan area:

The 100th goal, thank you for each goal, thank you for the joy you brought us, we love you, our captain!

This huge banner immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"That's great! It's incredible! A hundred goals! This is Zhang Yang's 100th goal for Manchester City! This is the number of goals he scored in 78 games! The average number of goals per game is 1.28. God, what a terrible goal efficiency! Such scoring efficiency simply makes other shooters of his generation desperate! Congratulations to Zhang Yang! Congratulations to him! At the same time, we also congratulate Manchester City and Manchester City fans, because they have such a great shooter! A captain who can lead them forward! They will be the happiest fans!"

In the final game, Manchester City was tied by Tottenham Hotspur at home.

After the game, people's focus is naturally the flamboyant 'hundred balls'.

The Times: This is the era of publicity. He scored his 100th goal in Manchester City! The 23-year-old shooter wrote himself into the history of Manchester City.

The Guardian: One hundred balls! Zhang Yang became the youngest legendary shooter in Manchester City's history!

Not only the English media, but also the Italian media, the Spanish media, the German media and other mainstream European media have expressed concern about this. Although the significance of this number is limited to Manchester City, now, as long as it is a 'data record' related to publicity, it will undoubtedly be the focus.

Although they were tied by Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City is still at the top of the league table, with 69 points, followed by Chelsea with 67 points. Manchester City's sworn enemy Manchester United has a score of 66 points, still retaining the hope of winning the league championship.

On March 19, the draw for the quarter-finals of the 2009/2010 UEFA Champions League was held at the UEFA headquarters in Niang, Switzerland.

The draw is presided over by UEFA Secretary-General Infantino. The 2009/2010 Champions League final will be held at the Bernabeu Stadium at Real Madrid. Therefore, Boutragueno, the representative of the final host and the sports manager of Real Madrid, will be the guest. This year's Champions League quarter-final team comes from six leagues, which is the most scattered top eight since the 1998-99 season. The Premier League and Ligue 1 occupy two seats each. The Premier League is Manchester United and Manchester City, and the Ligue 1 is Lyon and Bordeaux. The other four seats belong to La Liga and Barcelona, Inter Milan in Serie A, Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and CSKA Moscow in the Russian Premier League.

The draw in the quarter-finals is random, there is no seeded team, and the same league team will not avoid it. The first pair drawn was Lyon and Bordeaux, the top two in Ligue 1. Subsequently, the other six teams were also in place.

The final quarter-final match is as follows:

Lyon vs Bordeaux;

Bayern vs Manchester United;

Manchester City vs Barcelona;

Inter Milan vs CSKA Moscow;

Among these match-matches, the most eye-catching one is Manchester City and Barcelona, as well as Bayern Munich and Manchester United. In the eyes of many people, the Premier League team obviously won the next draw, and the fate is worrying. These two duels can be called the duel of Mars hitting the earth.

Especially when Real Madrid club manager Butragno drew Manchester City and Barcelona together, the scene was first an uproar, followed by applause and whistles.

"This is really a good pair of rivals." Adams, a guest of Sky TV and former Arsenal captain, said with a smile.

There is no hatred between Manchester City and Barcelona, but Zhang Yang and Messi have. In the competition for the European Golden Globe Award, Messi defeated Zhang Yang by a narrow margin, and in the World Footballer of the competition, Zhang Yang defeated Messi. The competition between the two is insoluble. Moreover, the Catalan media has always adhered to the 'conspiracy theory'. They believe that the selection of the World Footballer of the Year is tricky, and Messi can't lose to Zhang Yang.

"It's all right now. Whether you support Zhang Yang or Messi, don't continue to quarrel. Which of them is more powerful? At the end of the two rounds, everything will be revealed naturally." Eddie. Gray also said that although the overall strength of Manchester City is inferior to that of the defending champion Barcelona, in a sense, this is indeed the most direct confrontation, and it is also the best and most direct way for the two to compete.

The first leg of the quarterly match between Manchester City and Barcelona's Champions League is scheduled for March 30, when Manchester City will play at Manchester City Stadium in the first leg.

After this round, his number of goals in the league this season rose to 35 goals, which is only one goal short of the league record of 36 goals he set last season. In this round of the league, Chelsea was unexpectedly tied by their opponents. In this case, in the table, Manchester City is 72 points, Manchester United is 69 points, and Chelsea is 68 points. Chelsea's ranking was surpassed by Manchester United.

On March 27, in the thirty-second round of the Premier League, Manchester City returned to the home court. They beat Wigan Athletic 4-0 at the municipal stadium. Zhang Yang set the first record for Manchester City. They started smoothly and were already ahead of Wigan Athletic 3-0 at the end of the half game.

After the game, the title of the Manchester City Evening News is: Thirty-six Balls! Equalize the record!

Zhang Yang scored his thirty-sixth goal in the Premier League this season. In this way, he tied his record of 36 goals in the Premier League in a single season!

"Zhang Yang equalized his own record of 36 goals set last season! Now, there are still six rounds left in the league, and Zhang Yang still has six opportunities to score goals and set a new goal record. The increase in each of his goal data is the birth of a new record!" - Manchester City Evening News

For Zhang Yang and Manchester City, the joy after this game is not only limited to Zhang Yang's equaling his single-season goal record in the Premier League, but also Ronaldo also showed a good competitive state in the game. Ronnie's pass and shot attracted praise from the media.

After this round of the league, everyone's eyes were on the Champions League match three days later, Manchester City's home game and Barcelona!

The duel between Zhang Yang and Messi!

For a long time, Messi has chosen to avoid the reporter's question of who is better, which is better than him and Zhang Yang, which is in line with the consistent modest character of Argentine fleas.

However, this time, the media did not remain silent.

The day before the game, Messi, who had arrived in Manchester, opened his heart to everyone in an interview. Messi confidently said that he came here to win. "No one wants to lose, Barcelona's defending champion, so we bear more attention and have a bigger mission to come here. Our goal is to defeat the opponent and then reach the finals to keep the championship trophy. Who is better, Zhang Yang or me? No one will think that I can't do it. Of course, I think I'm better than him.

Messi's performance is so confident, which makes the Catalan media quite excited. They think that such Messi is worthy of the name of 'Mr. Golden Globe'. World Sports even uses the phrase "This is the domineering of the king of the ball" to describe Messi's words.

Messi opened his mouth, and his attitude was so confident and tough. Immediately, everyone focused on the publicity.

Immediately, a reporter relayed what Messi said to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang didn't take Messi's words seriously during the interview, "Everyone can fight with their mouths. What is it?" He spread out his hand to the reporters, "biting dogs never bark. After the game, everything will be clear."

His words immediately caused an uproar. The Barcelona people criticized Zhang Yang for being rude, compared Messi to a dog, and asked Zhang Yang to apologize.

Zhang Yang's response to this is, "I didn't say that. This is just a metaphor. Do you understand the metaphor?! Well, I'll put it this way. I'm willing to be a vicious dog and take a big bite in Barcelona's throat. Now, are you satisfied?"

His words are simply adding fuel to the fire.

"This is the most demeaning world footballer I've ever seen."

"Compared with Messi, he doesn't even deserve to carry Messi's shoes!"

The media in Barcelona hated Zhang Yang and criticized him.

It is said that even Messi, who has always had a good temper, is angry. "I have never wanted to get angry like now."

Zhang Yang immediately responded tit-for-tat, "If you are angry, be careful not to suffice it." Zhang Yang was also very unhappy. This time, Messi took the initiative to provoke the battle. He just replied. Now it's good, but the originator seems to be a chaste martyr who has been bullied.

In such a war of words, the heat of this focus game continued to heat up, and soon came to the game day.

"The focus of the first round of the 2009/2010 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester City's home game and Barcelona, as the team of the new World Footballer of the Year and the European Golden Globe Award winners, the confrontation between Zhang Yang and Messi is the biggest attraction of this game. This game is ready for It attracts the attention of fans all over the world.

"Manchester City's home stadium is full, and a large number of fans can't come to the scene to feel the atmosphere of the quarter-finals, because the stadium can only accommodate a maximum of 47,726 people. For safety reasons, the two sides used a total of 40,000 fans to watch the game in this game... In Manchester City A stand was left between the fans and Barcelona fans as a buffer zone. The war of words before the game made the smell of gunpowder smoke in this game very strong..."

The TV in the VIP box is playing the live commentary. The commentator will introduce some information about this stadium to you.

Emma. Watson invited several of his friends in the Harry Potter crew to watch the game.

Her appearance immediately attracted the attention of the live director.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, let's look there, Emma. Watson and her friends appeared in the box, a beautiful female magician. Did you watch the ball as a hostess? The commentator said with a smile, Zhang Yang is the captain of Manchester City, Emma. Watson is now Zhang Yang's public girlfriend, saying that she is the 'hostess', which seems to be the past.
