Chapter 255 Another Goal and Two Assists

"Zhao, this young man from the Dragon Country, might be a well-behaved kid on the field because of the Dragon Country's education philosophy.

I've noticed that in his games, any flamboyant or seemingly provocative actions are always a response, a counterattack.

I even think he's a bit soft. If Origi hadn't provoked him first today, it would have been delightful if he could have done that celebration towards Anfield after scoring!" The Manchester City commentator slammed the table, feeling utterly satisfied.

Origi, that little guy, got carried away. If Wijnaldum hadn't stopped him, he looked like he was going to run right up to Zhao Gang to celebrate.

Now Zhao Gang is a red-hot supernova in the Premier League. Origi, who's just arrived, is full of ambition and competitiveness. If he could show off in front of Zhao Gang, it would definitely boost his exposure and popularity.

Too bad, his attempt to show off failed.

It's understandable that the Anfield fans support Origi and try to mess with Zhao Gang and Manchester City's mentality.

If Zhao Gang had done something like that at the Etihad, the Etihad fans wouldn't find it inappropriate either; they'd definitely join in the booing.

But if you're going to be happy and wild together, you have to be prepared to be humiliated.

And now the Anfield fans have arrived at that moment; they're furious.

At Anfield, in their own home stadium, they're the only ones who bully others; how can they let others ride roughshod over them?

Zhao Gang not only provoked them with his celebration, but he also gave them a thumbs up amidst their boos and jeers, which was like rubbing salt in their wounds.

That rascal Agüero even jumped on Zhao Gang's back and waved at them.

He was as happy as a triumphant general, treating these Anfield fans as his admirers and followers.

Seeing this scene, besides the Manchester City fans feeling relieved, the happiest ones were the Manchester United fans.

In the last round, Liverpool severely humiliated the Manchester United fans at Old Trafford, leaving many of them in tears.

At this moment, the broadcast camera showed some fans, filled with impotent rage, and others covering their faces, crying their eyes out. The Manchester United fans were overjoyed.

Zhao Gang, he came from our Manchester United youth academy!

He has half Manchester United DNA!

Kicked out of the Manchester United youth academy?

Nonsense, that's just the media talking nonsense, creating traffic!

Kicked Manchester United 6:2?

That was just a family squabble; it doesn't count.

Didn't you see that Manchester City didn't even try after that?

Today, it was a real battle, kicking you until you were angry, anxious, and helpless.

All you can do is cry shamelessly.

You had the nerve to laugh at us last round; aren't you laughing this round?

"This league match… is truly full of twists and turns, fraught with danger. Both teams experienced taking the lead and being tied. Liverpool even miraculously scored two goals in the final moments, and even had a chance to turn the tables!

Unfortunately, it was just a bit short!

As a result, Manchester City seized the opportunity, and Zhao's goal sent Liverpool, Anfield, and Klopp straight to hell!

Zhao is both the miracle light that blooms with hope and the demon child that destroys hope!

Liverpool worked hard the entire match! All the players gave their all, only to have all their efforts cruelly taken away in the final moments!

Coutinho, Mané, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Origi, they all stood up when the team needed them!

They completed their tasks well, but unfortunately, they met Manchester City, they met Zhao.

Liverpool can only watch Manchester City ascend to the top of the Premier League.

It's hard to imagine which team can stop Manchester City in the league.

Many people are bearish on Manchester City, but that's not an objective fact; it's just their subjective speculation!

I think there may not be much suspense in the Premier League."

The few Manchester City fans waved their scarves and celebrated wildly, chanting the names of Zhao Gang and Agüero.

After the restart, many Anfield fans glared at Zhao Gang with fierce faces, their hearts aching and their teeth hurting with anger.

Origi lost his brilliance on the field.

His dream of being a hero was shattered.

He ruined it himself at the last moment.

The Liverpool players were in low spirits.

Mané and Coutinho wanted to forcibly reverse their fate, but their attacks were in vain.

The referee watched the time and blew the whistle to end the match.

Manchester City won a 5:4 thriller against Liverpool away from home.

After drawing with Chelsea, they've won four straight games!

The Dragon Country fans were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

This match was truly magnificent.

There were leads, comebacks, game-winners, conflicts, and provocations.

It almost integrated all the elements of football.

The Red Army Liverpool, lives up to its name.

Unfortunately, they were still one step short.

"Awesome, awesome, look at Zhao Gang's performance, he's already taking off! Number one in the Premier League!"

"His performance has always been amazing. What's most touching is the conflict in the first half. Look at Agüero and his teammates' performance, they directly shielded Zhao Gang behind them! De Bruyne could even push people down like a sumo wrestler!

This atmosphere shows that Zhao Gang's strength and personality have been recognized by all of Manchester City's teammates!

Strength and personality are indispensable!

He has truly conquered his Manchester City teammates with his strength!"

"Too damn awesome, it's the middle of the night, and I'm so excited that I can't sleep. When Zhao Gang ran at the end, I felt like my soul was flying!"

"Phenomenal, absolutely! This season's Premier League title is solid. We can also fight for the League Cup and FA Cup. To win the Champions League, we need a little luck. There's a great chance of winning the treble!"

"I heard that Guardiola has already set his sights on several players. This winter window is different from before. He may make a big splash. There's a good chance of winning the Champions League!"

"Just make fewer mistakes. This defense is worrying when it encounters strong impact. It would be best to strengthen it!"

"Teacher Zhan was exhausted from shouting at the end. He must have been extremely excited. If it wasn't a game-winning goal against Liverpool, he would have been even happier."

"Teacher Zhan is truly experiencing pain and happiness. Watching Zhao Gang rush into the penalty area, he stood up. At that moment, he probably wanted to see Zhao Gang score the game-winning goal, but also hoped that Zhao Gang wouldn't be so cruel and score the game-winning goal against Liverpool."

The Dragon Country fans were so excited because of one Zhao Gang, and the Manchester City fans were naturally even more crazy.

This game was wonderful and full of danger.

Outside the Etihad Stadium, a large number of fans gathered.

Countless fans sang team songs and cheered.

They knew that this red-blue battle would be fierce, but they didn't expect it to be so fierce.

The black lightning tore through the sky over Anfield, causing Anfield to wail.

After this fierce battle, the whole team had a day off to rest the next day.

Zhao Gang got up very early because he didn't do any strenuous exercise last night and rested well.

He habitually flipped through the newspaper, looking for news in the sports section.

"Is Manchester City truly unstoppable? The silence and rage of Anfield!"

The entire section was an analysis of the Manchester City and Liverpool lineups, tactics, and post-match review.

Zhao Gang glanced at it, quite insightful.

"Because of Guardiola, Manchester City's level has indeed improved a lot. They are already at the top of the Premier League in terms of ball control.

But this Manchester City team is not that universe team. They seem a little overwhelmed when facing high pressing.

The defense of this Manchester City team finds it difficult to truly understand Guardiola's football philosophy. Liverpool seized this opportunity and took the lead against Manchester City due to their physical advantage and inferior ball possession.

Manchester City was able to win this game, but none of the goals were the result of Guardiola's passing and control philosophy. They were all completed by counterattacks.

And all it took to accomplish this was two people, Zhao and Agüero. At most, you need a De Bruyne.

The rest of Manchester City's players only had a little presence when they were fighting. Their defenders even ran behind Zhao when retreating.

If Guardiola wants to continue to realize his ideals at Manchester City, these people may not be very useful.

Guardiola has such powerful and even all-around forward players, allowing him to have more tactical options in a limited lineup. It's no exaggeration to say that Manchester City's current record is due to one Zhao. Putting Zhao in any other team with a little competitiveness, Chelsea, Leicester City, Liverpool, or even Manchester United, Arsenal, or Tottenham, they would also be Premier League leaders now.

Manchester City is not as strong as it seems."

"Ding-ling!!"

Zhao Gang was engrossed in reading when a playful voice came from behind him.

He turned around, and Ollie was wearing pajamas, barefoot, stroking her hair, her beautiful eyes shining like stars.

Zhao Gang stood up from his chair, preparing for a morning hug. Ollie walked over, and her pajamas miraculously slipped off.

What walked over was already a stunning work of art.

Zhao Gang sat back down with a thud. Ollie could always come up with some tricks.

He didn't even see her use her hands, but she could create such a good show.

Was there a mechanism in these pajamas?

Red and gold adorned the snow-white sculpture, and more importantly, there was a sway that made one's heart tremble.

Which man could resist this early in the morning?

Seeing Zhao Gang's eyes widen, Ollie swayed over and slapped her left cheek against her right cheek.

"You didn't complete yesterday's task, so I'm going to punish you!"

Ollie leaned over, stood up straight, and pressed her full right cheek against Zhao Gang's left cheek.

"Wh-what task?"

"We said that however many goals you score on the field, you have to score the same number when you get back. You didn't complete it yesterday."

"Then look, how should I count those assists?" Zhao Gang blinked. Ollie, your face is swollen, you need to cool down.

"Assists, well, assists have to go into other doors…"

Zhao Gang breathed a sigh of relief, his mood difficult to calm.

He wondered how scoring an own goal would be counted.



After sending out one goal and two assists, Zhao Gang was a little useless.

He couldn't send out the last assist.

While Zhao Gang was lying there in a daze, he received some good news, both big and small, from Perrin.

The scouting team sent by Manchester City had submitted all the reports and details of their trip to the Dragon Country.

The boss behind the scenes had approved the investment in Zhao Gang's football school in Lianhai.

In the eyes of Manchester City's senior management, this Manchester City team has a good chance of winning multiple championships this season.

Manchester City's technical director and chairman clearly recognized Zhao Gang's importance to this Manchester City team. They not only needed Zhao Gang to stay, but also wanted Zhao Gang to have a sense of belonging and closeness to Manchester City.

And not just a simple employment relationship.

With Real Madrid and Chelsea pursuing him frantically, Manchester City's senior management knew that simply using money to keep Zhao Gang was not a long-term solution. They had to increase the bond between the two parties.

Technical Director Beligi even considered having Manchester City's parent company, the City Group, acquire the Lianhai Club in the Dragon Super League because Lianhai was Zhao Gang's hometown.

While this plan was being discussed, Manchester City's scouts discovered that Zhao Gang was building his own football school in the Dragon Country. Beligi felt that this would be an excellent opportunity.

Wouldn't this be less expensive, less effort, and more effective than buying a team?

Therefore, Manchester City's senior management immediately sent a scouting team to go through the motions.

Now things have finally come to fruition.

The consortium behind Manchester City is almost unconditionally supporting Zhao Gang's football school.

This small amount of money is nothing to them.

After discussing it with Perrin, Zhao Gang decided to accept the City Group's investment. Of course, Perrin needed to handle the contract.

Zhao Gang knew almost nothing about the process.

It seems that the football school is developing smoothly. He just doesn't know if he can find any good seedlings.

Zhao Gang lay there, unable to resist thinking, if he could use system points to exchange for some Dragon Country players with good talent, or even clues to some excellent young players.

Then arrange for someone to grab them and train them in the football school, that would be perfect.
