Long live the King of Balls

Chapter 150 Zhang Yang VS Messi 2

In another VIP box, the high-level officials of the Manchester City Club are gathered together. Manchester City's ability to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League has made these bigwigs of Manchester City Club overjoyed. To be honest, even if Manchester City Club president Alfaim or general manager Cook doesn't know much about the ball, he knows that it is impossible to win the Champions League as soon as he comes up, and it's good to be able to reach the quarterfinals. Now, Manchester City's opponent is Barcelona, the defending champion. Speaking of which, even if Manchester City loses to Barcelona, it is not an unacceptable thing.

Of course, if Manchester City can eliminate Barcelona, they will naturally be overjoyed.

The real boss of the Abu Dhabi consortium, Chief Mansour, has said that if Manchester City can eliminate Barcelona, he will give all players an additional reward ranging from 300,000 euros to 1 million euros.

At this time, in the court, the players from both sides have lined up to walk out of the corridor and appeared in front of the public, and there was a burst of cheers at the scene. As the captain of Manchester City, Zhang Yang walked in the front. He waved to the stands and immediately cheered like a tsunami.

Alfaim looked at this scene and smiled, "Even if I didn't win the championship this year, I believe it's not far from us."

Hearing Alphaim say this, Cook nodded, "He is indeed a great player who can bring the championship. Mr. Chairman will bring Zhang Yang to Manchester City, which is the biggest guarantee that the team can have its current results.

When Cook was talking about Alphaim's pride, he immediately laughed.

On March 30, 2010, the first round of Manchester City vs Barcelona in the 2009/2010 Champions League quarter-finals.

Manchester, the municipal stadium, the starlight is very good. It's a good weather for the game.

Zhong Dajun typed these words in his notebook. After thinking about it, I tapped: Zhang Yang and Messi, the confrontation between the two best young people in football today, the confrontation between the World Footballer of the Year and the European Golden Globe Award, the topic of which of the two is better has long been hyped. This game...

Zhang Yang is standing on the court, and the game is about to begin.

Standing opposite him is Messi.

The lens changed on the bodies of the two people. This is to tell everyone that these two are the focus today. The confrontation between them is also the biggest attraction of today's game.

Of course, another point is the performance of these two front-line partners. Zhang Yang's partner is Ronaldo, and Messi's partner is Boyang. Guardiola would rather give Boyang a chance than give Ibrahimovic a chance to start, which also makes the outside world's speculation about the contradiction between Ibrahimovic and Guardiola fully intensified, from which has been confirmed to a certain extent.

Regarding the contradiction between Ibrahimovic and Guardiola, the analysis of La Gazzetta dello Sport is that Ibrahimovic accuses Guardiola of favoring Messi too much and not being tolerant of foreign players. In a tactical sense, Ibrahimovic was bought to be a high striker, but there was a conflict with Messi's position in the game, which limited Messi's performance, so Ibrahimovna was sacrificed. Ibrahimovna was also a top star. In addition, he was arrogant, and it was inevitable that the general would be at discord.

What the Marca newspaper said is more straightforward and straightforward: Ibrahimovic wants to be in the middle of the front court in Barcelona, with him as the core. But Guardiola thought that everyone could play with Messi as the core and asked him to go to the sidelines, but he disagreed, so he quarreled...

In such a race where Mars hit the earth, Ibrahimovic, an arrogant master, can only watch on the bench. I think he must feel uncomfortable. The camera caught the gloomy expression on the face of the Swedish tower on the bench. Obviously, he was very unhappy.

You know, at the beginning of Serie A, Zhang Yang and Ibrahimovic once fought for the Serie A gold boots. Who would have thought that two years have passed, but Ibrahimovic could only watch Zhang Yang and Messi compete for the throne of 'the first in the world', which is really unpleasant and depressing. .

Of course, for Zhang Yang and Messi competing for 'the first in the world', Cristiano Ronaldo probably has something to say.

From the first second after the kick-off, Manchester City and Barcelona have fallen into the fiercest competition.

Barcelona planned to organize an attack after kick-off. Unexpectedly, Keita's ball to Ibrahimovic was broken by Manchester City's midfielder De Jong, and then immediately counterattacked, handed the football to Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang took two steps, made a wall-to-to-wall cooperation with Ronaldo, and then carried the ball to the left side of the penalty area and buckled it up. After the defensive Alves, he suddenly passed the ball and inserted Ireland to complete the first shot of the game. Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes performed well and saved it. Manchester City got the first corner.

"Beautiful. Manchester City had a good opportunity to attack at the beginning. Their attack was more like a warning to the proud defending champion Barcelona. Remind them that this is the territory of Manchester City!" The Manchester narrator shouted.

Not only did Messi show his confidence in winning Manchester City in an interview, but other players in Barcelona have also expressed their ambition and confidence to win their opponents, which also made Manchester City very unhappy. Manchester City's results are quite good now. It is the leader in the league, which also makes Manchester City fans who have always been very losers inflated their self-confidence. Although some media describe Manchester City as an upstart team, Manchester City fans feel good about themselves. At this time, this statement of the veteran giant Barcelona undoubtedly made Manchester City fans quite unhappy.

Seeing such a wonderful performance at the beginning of the home team, the fans of Manchester City cheered loudly.

Manchester City has shown amazing momentum from the beginning of this game. In the confrontation with a master who controls the game like Barcelona, it must be preemptive, take the initiative, and never follow the pace of Barcelona! In that case, Manchester City will definitely die.

Manchester City entered the form quickly. They were very aggressive at the beginning, and Zhang Yang naturally got more shooting opportunities.

However, Guardiola obviously had arrangements for how to defend Zhang Yang. He did not arrange the old Pujol to defend Zhang Yang, but arranged Pike to keep an eye on Zhang Yang.

"Pick - this foot shovel is clean and neat! Pike returned to Barcelona, which made Pujol have a successor. The commentator in Barcelona shouted happily.

This is Zhang Yang's attempt to accelerate through Pike just now, but Pike was not fooled. A beautiful grab, while Zhang Yang's footsteps staggered. People rushed out by inertia, but the ball remained at Pike's feet. He almost fell down himself. Zhang Yang supported the ground with his left hand and did not fall into the mud. Then he immediately fell to the ground with a sliding shovel to the feet of Pike.

After Pike took the ball, he planned to take two steps, but he didn't expect Zhang Yang to tackle so decisively. He felt the danger behind him. He subconsciously jumped up and dodged the tackle in confusion. The ball was naturally shoveled out of the sideline by Zhang Yang! He also slipped under his feet and fell down a dog to gnaw the mud.

Before Pike got up, Pujol rushed over like an angry lion and roared at Zhang Yang, who was still lying on the ground. Zhang Yang also got up and responded rudely.

German referee Stark quickly whistled and verbally warned the two people who were too angry.

The boos on the stands of the municipal stadium were shocking. The boos were obviously not for publicity, but for Barcelona captain Pujol.

This game is a match between Zhang Yang and Messi, but in the opinion of some media, it is also a match between Zhang Yang and Pujol, a captain who is nearly 23 years old, a veteran captain and a football player. This is just like the current status of Manchester City and Barcelona. Manchester City is a rapidly rising team, while Barcelona is an old strong team.

After the game began, Manchester City's offensive was very fierce, but the first goal was the visiting team.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Barcelona took the lead.

The Catalan team played an exquisite cooperation. Harvey passed a beautiful ball. After Iniesta got the ball, one person attracted the defensive attention of two Manchester City players and passed a fatal straight ball. After Messi got the ball, he first broke through Gareth with the ball. Barry's defense, and then broke into the penalty area to face Joe, who attacked in a hurry. Hart, with a low shot, the football rolled into the lower left corner of the goal against the turf!

Barcelona ero Manchester City!

"Barcelona is in the lead! One to zero! They scored! Messi! Messi!! Messi! Oh, oh, oh, this is really a blow to Manchester City. This is obviously the most unacceptable situation for Zhang Yang. On his territory, Messi scored a goal!"

The camera was changing the close-up of Messi, who enthusiastically celebrated the goal, and the TV camera immediately gave it to Zhang Yang. When he saw Messi's goal, the face of the captain of Manchester City, who was one goal behind the team, was not as embarrassing as the commentator thought. Zhang Yang just took a look at the Barcelona man who was celebrating, and then rushed. Joe, the team's goalkeeper. Hart shouted, Joe. Hart pulled the ball out of the goal and threw it to him. He held the ball in his arm and slowly walked to the middle circle...

"Barsa! Barcelona!! Barcelona!! Oh, oh, oh - Messi! Messi!! Messi!!!" In the large and small bars of Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, in the distant Iberian Peninsula, Barcelona fans excitedly shouted their team names, cheered for the team's goals, and cheered for Messi.

"Barcelona scored! They took the lead, Barcelona took the lead, and Messi scored! This can be said to be the best situation that Barcelonans can expect!" The TV commentator looked at the Barcelona player who was still celebrating the goal and said.

"Go to hell with the upstart Manchester City! Country bumpkin, watch it! This is the rich family!!" The visiting team fans in the stands shouted. They began to provoke Manchester City fans.

Manchester City fans are naturally unwilling to show weakness. Barcelona miscellaneous. Seed! You are happy too early! Our captain will fuck. Damn you!"

About a minute later, the Barcelona players finally celebrated the goal, and they returned to their respective positions on the field one after another, ready to start the game again.

Zhang Yang, who has been putting the football in the middle circle for a long time, is shouting loudly to his teammates, "Don't worry about it. We still have a lot of time!" Let them see how powerful we are!"

Yes, the game has only lasted 23 minutes, and there is plenty of time. Whether it is for the leading Barcelona or the lagging Manchester City, the game is just the beginning.
