Aguero was the first to stand up.

"No, no, no, it's not just Real Madrid people who know Real Madrid is finished; it's fans all over the world who know Real Madrid is finished." Aguero reached out his hand.

Grasping Zhao Gang's fist, Silva, Otamendi, Fernandinho, De Bruyne...

"Blue Moon, victory!"

"Blue Moon, victory!"

"Blue Moon, victory!!!"

Guardiola stood to the side, expressionless.

This kid usually doesn't say much, but at crucial moments, he is the most trustworthy.

How many days has he been here?

Yet he's already gained the love and trust of his teammates on the field and in the locker room.

...

Inside the player tunnel, both teams' players stared straight ahead, with hardly any expression.

Inside the Bernabéu stadium, the high-pitched "hala!"

"Let Manchester City taste our power!"

"Real Madrid will win!!"

"halamadrid!!"

The fans shouted Real Madrid's slogan, "Forward!"

Mixed with the angry roars of other fans.

Zhao Gang liked the atmosphere of the Bernabéu, but his favorite stadium was not the Bernabéu, not the Camp Nou, not Old Trafford, and not the Etihad, but the Westfalenstadion in Germany.

It was a kind of obsession; he never had the chance to go, which was a pity.

The Real Madrid players took the field first, to thunderous applause.

And when the Manchester City players entered, they were met with boos from the entire stadium.

This was not just an attitude of the Real Madrid fans, but also a way to put pressure on the Manchester City players.

Almost every team encounters this situation when playing away; it's rare for Zhao Gang to return to a place like Norwich.

Zhao Gang shook hands with every Real Madrid player: Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale, Benzema.

These players, who were once out of reach, were now competing with him on the same field.

When he stood in front of Benzema, he suddenly thought of the nickname given to him by the Dragon Country fans: "Scapegoat Ma," Scapegoat Number One.

It wasn't yet widely known.

Zhao Gang looked at Benzema's tall figure and thought to himself, "Only this big guy can carry such a big black pot."

Zhao Gang couldn't help but smile.

Benzema was surprised. What did this kid mean?

...

Both teams were ready.

Beep!!!

"It's finally starting!!"

"Manchester City versus Real Madrid!"

"A clash between the top teams in the Premier League and La Liga!!"

"Although Manchester City is first in the Premier League, their lineup is still somewhat inferior to Real Madrid's..."

"Who cares? Classic midfield, BBC, Zhao Gang, take them down!! Let the whole world know your fame!!"

"Zhao Gang, go!"

"Go!!"

The game began!

Real Madrid chose sides, Manchester City had possession.

After receiving the ball, Zhao Gang observed the situation and did not choose to attack, but passed it back.

Facing Real Madrid was different from facing other teams.

The opening was a probing phase.

Stable defense was the most important thing.

Real Madrid's speed and confrontation, strength and counterattack were too strong.

In the first few minutes, neither side had any particularly bright performance.

Obviously, Real Madrid was also not in a hurry to attack. The main reason was that Manchester City's defense was solid, making it difficult for them to launch a counterattack; they couldn't pick up any speed at all.

The commentators, seeing the situation on the field, didn't have much to comment on, so they talked about some off-field things. Many fans liked these things, even more than the game itself. "According to the current momentum, Cristiano Ronaldo is very likely to win the Ballon d'Or this season. The honor of the national team carries significant weight for the Ballon d'Or.

"And Zhao Gang is more likely to win the Golden Boy Award. Some Italian media have even said that if Zhao Gang doesn't win the Golden Boy Award, it will be a disgrace to the award.

"Including Marcello Lippi, who has already taken office and also serves as the national team coach, has also stated very clearly in interviews that there is no suspense about this season's Golden Boy Award.

"Manchester City versus Real Madrid is not just a clash of two strong teams; we can also look at the confrontation between Zhao Gang and Cristiano Ronaldo, which is also full of highlights!"

"There's also one more thing: many foreign media have reported rumors about Zhao Gang and Real Madrid. Florentino has recently had a great interest in Zhao Gang. The Real Madrid president is also at the stadium for this game. If Zhao Gang performs extremely well, it may strengthen Real Madrid's determination to bring Zhao Gang to the Bernabéu."

The Dragon Country fans were filled with excitement as they listened to the commentators' words.

The Golden Boy Award is a very prestigious award in the world, representing the strongest of the younger generation!

Real Madrid, the most successful football club in the world, is preparing to pursue Zhao Gang.

Being eyed by Real Madrid is already a huge recognition. The key is Florentino; the people the Real Madrid president wants to buy are not just about strength, but also a huge embodiment of commercial value.

He sets his sights on world-class superstars!

On the field, Zhao Gang delivered a long-range cannonball pass directly to Aguero.

Aguero, receiving the ball in front of the penalty area, was about to shoot when Ramos blocked it in advance, and the ball was destroyed.

Aguero held his head, somewhat annoyed. Ramos's reaction and experience were indeed a level higher than the central defenders in the Premier League.

After Real Madrid got the ball, they quickly launched a counterattack. Marcelo, a full-back, sprinted all the way with the ball, passing it to Kroos, who organized the attack.

Modrić cleverly ran into position, got the ball, and passed it to Cristiano Ronaldo on the left.

Cristiano Ronaldo, in front of the penalty area, disturbed by Stones, blasted a violent shot directly into the sky.

The offensive quality of both sides was not very high, and they both put a lot of effort into defense.

Casemiro and Carvajal took special care of Zhao Gang.

Within just ten minutes, he had been brought down three times in midfield.

Obviously, Real Madrid was still somewhat worried about Zhao Gang's threat, not letting him easily dribble the ball to organize attacks and break into the heart of the defense.

The referee's standard seemed a bit lenient.

Manchester City is a Premier League team and has never been afraid of physical confrontation.

After figuring out the referee's standard, their movements also became bigger.

Whether it was Modrić or Bale, who was unstoppable when sprinting, they also received a lot of attention.

They were brought down on the sidelines several times.

In the first fifteen minutes, the game was not as smooth as expected.

The number of dangerous attacks on both sides was not too high, and the number of shots was even fewer.

Physical confrontation, both sides constantly exchanged possession in midfield.

Real Madrid fans booed fiercely, putting pressure on the Manchester City players and the referee.

After the opening probing, the Manchester City players insisted on implementing Guardiola's tactics.

Constantly harassing and pressing, cutting off the connection of the classic midfield, running at the expense of their stamina, forcing them into a situation of individual combat.

Making it uncomfortable for Real Madrid players to receive the ball.

"Well, Manchester City's playing style is somewhat different from before. They're playing a bit abnormally, even a bit awkward. There's almost no smooth offense, and the cooperation in the front and midfield is a bit chaotic.

"But with this playing style, Real Madrid is even more uncomfortable.

"Real Madrid can't smoothly find the BBC trio, and it's difficult for the three players in the front to cooperate. Overall, Manchester City is taking the initiative to change, giving up their own characteristics, and getting entangled with Real Madrid, making it more difficult for Real Madrid to play."

Zhao Gang, who was not at all timid, became more and more fierce, more and more aggressive.

When he was in Norwich in the English Championship, he made Manchester United fans kneel down and cry at Old Trafford. Now that he was in Manchester City, would he be afraid of Real Madrid?

Too many players lose confidence when facing teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern, thinking they can't do it.

With a mental imbalance, their movements become distorted, they lose strength, they lose fighting spirit, and they lose even faster.

So, after the opening, when Guardiola's tactics worked and restrained Real Madrid, Zhao Gang was thinking about how to score one!

This won't work if it continues like this. Manchester City's tactics can't continue indefinitely. Real Madrid will definitely adapt to the rhythm, and Manchester City's running will be useless in the second half. At that time, they will only lose even more miserably.

It's better to seize the opportunity now and score a goal if you can!

This time, after Zhao Gang got the ball, he suddenly changed the rhythm, accelerated to the maximum speed, and brushed past Modrić.

Modrić's defense was not his strong point, but he was still slightly surprised. He didn't expect Zhao Gang's rhythm change to be so fast.

Zhao Gang quickly dribbled the ball forward, and the Real Madrid players quickly retreated.

Zhao Gang directly faced Casemiro.

Casemiro and Fernandinho, as the two beastly Brazilian midfielders, have extremely strong defensive abilities.

Tackling, intercepting, blocking, passing, and even high balls are all top-notch.

What he likes to do most is sliding tackles and interceptions, and he is extremely accurate, fast, and experienced.

While dribbling the ball forward, Zhao Gang observed his teammates' positions.

The position of the attacking teammates was not very good, and the Real Madrid players did not double-team him.

They were full of confidence in Casemiro.

Zhao Gang thought for a moment, the probability of a successful breakthrough might not be high, and facing Casemiro's breakthrough, even if successful, would probably waste a lot of time.

So, he directly passed the ball back, finding Silva who was following up.

Then he accelerated forward.

Of course, Silva saw this simple cooperation, and Casemiro, a top defender, also saw it.

He simply ignored Silva, and Silva naturally had teammates to defend him.

Casemiro directly followed Zhao Gang.

As soon as Silva received the ball, he directly threaded a through pass, finding Zhao Gang.

Casemiro was half a step slower and was directly blocked behind Zhao Gang.

Casemiro's eyes widened. He never expected Zhao Gang's confrontation ability to be so strong.

Several times before, Zhao Gang was directly brought down, and there was no such physical confrontation at all. Casemiro bumped into Zhao Gang, trying to squeeze out of position, but found that Zhao Gang hardly moved. Instead, he was pushed back and almost lost his position.

"Oh, this confrontation!" the commentator shouted, "Oh, this speed!!"
