Navas quickly lowered his body and spread his arms.

Based on his experience, he judged that Zhao Gang's speed and kinetic energy would likely result in a direct, violent shot.

Zhao Gang, moving quickly, suddenly curled the soccer with his powerful right foot after breaking through for a one-on-one.

The fallen Navas futilely turned his head and watched the soccer draw an arc, flying towards the far corner!

Goal!

Manchester City, at home, at the Etihad Stadium, had a dream start!

Relying on De Bruyne's ghostly pass, they found Zhao Gang in the center with his powerful impact.

1:0!

At this time, it was only a minute or so after the opening!

The fans in the entire stand of the Etihad instantly raised their hands and jumped up at the same time.

The broadcast camera shook violently, like an earthquake!

Real Madrid fans who came to the Etihad held their heads in disbelief.

How could this be?

In the first leg at the Bernabéu, Manchester City was almost pinned down and beaten by Real Madrid from the start.

All Manchester City could do was keep running to disrupt Real Madrid's passing.

How could it be that in the second leg, within the first minute of the opening, a counterattack penetrated Real Madrid's penalty area and scored with one shot?

Was this still the same Manchester City team as before?

This was unacceptable to Real Madrid.

"Is this... is this the way Ramos said to defend Zhao???" The Spanish commentator couldn't believe it when he saw Zhao Gang quickly start behind Ramos. It was understandable that Ramos's speed couldn't keep up, but couldn't he hold his position?

And Varane's reckless and confident sliding tackle gave Zhao Gang a very good opportunity to start.

If he and Ramos had worked together to hold their positions, Zhao Gang would have had no chance to start. No matter how fast he was, he wouldn't have been able to grab the ball.

"Is this really the La Liga team with the fewest goals conceded and the strongest defense? Leaking players, recklessness. Is this really the most reassuring center-back combination?

What's wrong with Real Madrid???"

He Shiren shouted, "Zhao Gang!!! Zhao Gang's speed completely shook off Ramos, one of the best center-backs in the world!!

Ramos really can't defend him!!

Under such a fast running speed, he can still control his power and curl a shot into the far corner! He curled it! This is unbelievable!

Manchester City leads 1:0 at home! Before the game, no one should have thought of this. In just one minute, Real Madrid's defense had a big problem!

Of course, this is related to the super personal abilities of De Bruyne and Zhao Gang.

De Bruyne finally showed his world-class passing skills, giving a precise pass to the center.

And Zhao Gang's start and shot were perfect. The ball speed of the shot was not fast, but Navas was deceived by Zhao Gang's feint in a flash of lightning, and he pounced in the wrong direction!

No goalkeeper would have expected this kind of ball. Zhao Gang would calmly curl a shot into the far corner in this situation!

This is a perfect manifestation of super technology and confidence!

The Etihad stadium has been covered by deafening cheers.

Zhao Gang used this extremely wonderful goal to tell all Manchester City fans that he is always the one who deserves the most trust!

He can give the opponent a fatal blow in any position in the frontcourt!

Aguero... Aguero should really learn some shooting skills from Zhao Gang. He shouldn't always take powerful shots.

One-on-ones are very simple, and curling shots are not difficult!"

"This shot really reminds people of someone. This distance, this calm curling shot, this technical level, is very similar to Messi, right?" The Argentine commentator shook his head. This choice, this one-on-one choice, looks like the ball speed is not fast, and it seems very simple.

But only the players in that position know what kind of ball sense it takes to do it.

At this speed, as long as there is a little flaw, if there is a little problem with the use of force, the ball will be directly curled out.

"I think his body, his speed, and his shooting skills should be more like Suarez." Another commentator had a slightly different opinion.

This kind of running, this kind of speed, this kind of shooting skills, Messi can indeed do it, but Messi is shorter, has a lower center of gravity, and it is easier to make this kind of movement.

Zhao Gang is more than ten centimeters taller than Messi. This center forward's running and shooting is still somewhat different from Messi's.

"Haha... no matter who he looks like, he is not a South American player, nor a European player, but a Dragon Country player from Asia. This is indeed unbelievable.

In my impression, there are very few Asian players who can gain a foothold in Europe's front line. Son was able to become Tottenham's winger because of his complete speed.

And Zhao Gang's speed is really not worse than Son's. The key is his shooting technique, which shouldn't be something an Asian player can possess. This is too incredible!"

"He will really become a legendary player. It is difficult to see Real Madrid's defense so embarrassed. Ramos's age is the best time to combine body and experience. It can be said that he is now at his peak, but... he was completely eaten by Zhao. Unbelievable!"

Many English fans are paying attention to this game.

The strength of Real Madrid and Barcelona is unprecedented, and they have beaten the Premier League teams. Not to mention defeating the La Liga duo, it is really difficult to get a draw.

Manchester City stubbornly took a point at the Bernabéu, and this game made more English fans look forward to it.

A critical hit at the start, a counterattack, and Real Madrid's defense was broken. This was very encouraging for English fans.

"Beautiful, Zhao!!"

"This is the top front line!"

"Real Madrid, die!!!"

"Keep scoring! The La Liga duo is nothing more than that! Manchester City will win!!"

"Damn, Manchester City has Zhao, it's like having its own Messi and Ronaldo... Our Martial is like a pile of sh*t..."

"Not really, Martial's performance in the Europa League is also quite explosive..."

Back in his own area, Zhao Gang waved to the stands, and the voices of the fans in the Etihad stands were louder than before.

"Manchester City fans really love Zhao Gang to the extreme. You can even see some local English fans waving the red flag at the scene. For a Dragon Country player, this is not just a recognition, but a real respect and worship."

Zidane frowned off the field. He hated Zhao Gang so much.

He hated this kind of player appearing in the opponent's lineup.

Is he a midfielder or a forward?

From attacking midfielder to winger, he can also run to the center as a center forward to grab points.

He can even retreat to Silva's position to organize the offense.

Why not let him play as a defensive midfielder? After getting the ball, wouldn't it be better to directly find the center forward with a long pass?

Zidane, one of the best midfielders in soccer history, his control of the rhythm of the midfield is definitely world-class.

In the last game, he saw Zhao Gang's running and passing.

He can definitely grow into a top midfielder. He knows when to attack and when to retreat.

He knows when he should appear where and who he should pass the ball to.

His experience on the field is not like that of a young man at all.

Now, he is completely standing in the center forward position, and he can complete his task perfectly.

Originally, when he was standing in the midfield position, no matter how good the rhythm was, he needed to get the ball to be a threat.

Multiple people can be used to surround him and reduce his threat to the minimum.

But now, he doesn't need the ball at all, he just needs to keep running and pulling.

Can a few people be used to defend a forward who doesn't have the ball?

Wouldn't that be a joke?

If Zhao Gang is on a weak team and cannot get the support of his teammates, he can of course be surrounded at will.

But this is Manchester City, the best team in the Premier League. If everyone goes to surround Zhao Gang, what about Sterling? What about De Bruyne and Silva?

Even how to deal with Gundogan and Fernandinho who are plugged in from the back?

Zidane waved his hand and said, charge!

Attack!

Manchester City's offense is like mercury pouring down the ground, but the defense is not good at all.

Real Madrid's defense may not be able to limit Manchester City's offensive group, but Real Madrid's offense is not something that Manchester City can resist.

Real Madrid is extremely strong this season. Although there is almost no suspense about qualifying, they still have to try their best to win the first place in the group.

In addition, no one wants to lose this kind of strong dialogue.

Real Madrid kicked off in the center circle.

Losing a goal first is a blow to them, but it's nothing.

What kind of scenes haven't these big shots seen?

They were tied after leading by two goals in the last game. They only lost one goal in this game. Why can't they tie and overtake?

Real Madrid's positional offense relies on the scheduling and passing of Modric and Kroos.

When Modric dribbles the ball and finds that there are no good offensive opportunities, he will basically pass it to Kroos.

This time, Zhao Gang did not retreat too deep, because he is now a center forward, and Real Madrid's offense is not too swift and violent.

On Real Madrid's side, the two full-backs have already plugged in, and the midfielders have also followed up.

There is only Casemiro left behind, and two center-backs.

Zhao Gang is extremely familiar with this scene.

Because Manchester City often encounters this situation.

Once Manchester City gets the ball and De Bruyne passes the ball behind, the two full-backs will have difficulty retreating in time. This requires Casemiro's sweeping ability. He must quickly fill the position.

If Casemiro does not fill the position in time, the center-back will have to leave the center, and there will be bigger problems in the center.

Of course, Real Madrid's style of play stems from their great confidence and their confidence in the control ability of the middle and frontcourt.

It is difficult for them to lose the ball and be counterattacked.

Even if they lose the ball, it is difficult for the opponent to quickly pass the ball and play a through ball behind them with their personal ability to interfere with the counterattack.

Of all of Manchester City's middle and frontcourt players, Sterling is the most active.

Because he is full of energy, fast, and a substitute.

He needs to prove himself to Guardiola with his attitude.

Sterling retreated extremely deep and participated in the task of defending Ronaldo.

For a time, Ronaldo was caught in a double-team, and it was difficult for his role to be displayed.

Real Madrid controlled the soccer, but the strongest speed advantage was gone.

They can only chisel in bit by bit, which is good news for Manchester City.

Manchester City's two full-backs are not as fast as Bale and Ronaldo. Now that they are playing a positional battle, and the two sides have the support of their middle and frontcourt teammates, the pressure is much less.

Real Madrid's continuous offensive was resolved.

From the perspective of the field, Manchester City's midfield is a bit thinner without Zhao Gang, but Real Madrid can't score despite having the advantage.

Tens of thousands of people in the Etihad Stadium are shouting desperately to cheer for the team.

In the cheering voices of these fans, Manchester City's defenders are full of strength and in good spirits.

Each and every one of them gritted their teeth. Even if they were shaken out of position, they would still leap up and desperately block the route.

Sterling, who had been actively returning to defense, finally found an opportunity. Benzema's forced shot was blocked by Otamendi's leg.

Sterling, who got the ball, ran wildly, burying his head and sprinting quickly from the backcourt all the way.

Real Madrid players quickly returned to defense.

From the perspective of the field, Real Madrid's openings are very large, but no Manchester City players are running to those openings.

Zhao Gang ran while watching Sterling and keeping his distance.

He did not go to respond, because he is now the most impactful point for Manchester City.

His running instantly attracted Ramos and Varane.

Sterling glanced at Zhao Gang's position.

It is possible to pass it, but long-distance passing is not his specialty.

So he dribbled the ball directly, and with an explosive touch, he brushed past Kroos's defense, rushed through the midfield, and kept moving forward.

"Sterling's impact is very strong! He is still moving forward, shaking off Kroos. Marcelo's retreat has blocked Sterling's route!"

Sterling is very fast, but after being interfered by Kroos, Marcelo has already chased back.

Sterling can keep dribbling along the sideline, but it is difficult to have the opportunity to cut in and break through.

He stopped suddenly and had to pass the ball back to Silva, who was responding.

Silva was interfered with, and with a long pass, De Bruyne got the ball and started.

Drip!!!

Carvajal directly brought down De Bruyne with one tackle!

He couldn't just watch De Bruyne break through and pass the ball to find Zhao Gang.

The previous attack gave him some psychological shadow.

Since he can't hold De Bruyne, he might as well foul directly.

This free kick on the left is a bit far from the goal, close to thirty meters.

Zhao Gang strolled over.

It is difficult to shoot directly from this distance, but a cooperation can be done.

De Bruyne has been standing next to the soccer, and the two exchanged a few words.

"You take it, I'll go fight for it. Otherwise, I'll be wasting my time as a center forward. I've grown so tall," Zhao Gang muttered.

"Ah??" De Bruyne stared with his pure big eyes, unable to hide anything.

It's okay for me to take the kick, but your heading?

Wouldn't you be wasting your time if you went?

Even if you can grab the position and withstand the center-back, your header is only considered okay by yourself in the whole world, right?

"Find where there's an opening. If I have an opening, you have to give it to me."

De Bruyne nodded, half believing, half doubting.

"Hiss... De Bruyne's footwork is okay, it's okay to take a free kick. There's nothing wrong with that.

But what does Zhao Gang mean by running into the penalty area?

Shouldn't he be the second point responder?

He's playing center forward, so he can't run to head the ball, right?"

"His header is now known to everyone who pays attention to him. It can be said... it's... not very good, yes, not very much like a professional player..."

The commentator's words were still conservative. Among professional players, Zhao Gang's heading level is terrible.

If the ball is too fast, he can't head it at all. If the ball is too slow, even if he heads it, it won't have any power.

Real Madrid's players were stunned for a moment.

In the two games, they had made professional deployments for Zhao Gang's free kicks.

Now, he's not taking it?

This is indeed unexpected.

This is acceptable, but Zhao Gang running into the penalty area to head the ball is indeed puzzling to Real Madrid's players.

The team's videographer once compiled Zhao Gang's heading videos.

That guy was so bad that he almost made Real Madrid's players laugh to death.

He can clearly hold his position, but he can still lose the ball.

This is really unbelievable for these Real Madrid big shots.

Seeing Zhao Gang running all the way into the penalty area, standing in position in a decent manner, Guardiola's mouth twitched.

They are playing Real Madrid!!!

Are you kidding me?

Are you going to the penalty area to laugh Real Madrid's center-backs to death when heading the ball, and then make Real Madrid have no one to use?
