Chi Meiya
Chapter 117 Perfect First Half
Aguero lost his balance, awkwardly passing the ball out.
"Aiya, Manchester City! It's happening again, just passing and not shooting!" Director Zhang, watching the situation, wanted to scold them but also found it funny.
All Manchester City players have passing ability, which is one of Guardiola's criteria for selecting players, but the result is that no one shoots.
Some are blocked and have no chance, but some just don't want to shoot, who knows what they're thinking.
"Let's watch this kick! Zhao Gang!!!" When Jian Lu saw Aguero pass the ball out, with no obstruction in front of Zhao Gang, and defenders rushing over, the opportunity had appeared!
When Jian Lu saw this, he had a feeling that Zhao Gang would definitely not pass the ball again!
Although he likes to make his teammates better and prefers to assist them, he will never let go of an opportunity when it presents itself!
Sterling in the penalty area saw Zhao Gang get the ball and curled up, jumping out of the way.
Bang!
The football grazed Sterling's back and flew to the upper right corner!
"He's got it!!" Jian Lu's voice instantly rose, "In the 29th minute of the game, Zhao Gang received a pass back from Aguero, and from the left side of the penalty area, unleashed a powerful shot, completing his first Premier League goal!
This is another youngest record!
His debut can be described as perfect!
Two assists and a goal in half an hour! Simply a god-like performance!"
"Yeah!!!"
Manchester City fans, fighting away from home, instantly stood up and cheered loudly.
Guardiola watched the group of players celebrating around Zhao Gang; Aguero was the shortest, but jumped the highest!
This time, Guardiola crossed his arms, barely celebrating.
What the heck are they playing?
A group of people doing short passes and penetration in the penalty area, showing off fancy moves?
This is another huge role of Zhao Gang; he likes to share the ball, but at critical moments, he will never be soft, and if he can solve it himself, he will never continue to do useless passing.
Guardiola had investigated very clearly before; Zhao Gang's passing and shooting choices are very precise.
Sure enough, he wouldn't be afraid to shoot just because his teammates are all big names, always thinking about finding teammates to please them.
With this kind of mental strength, no wonder those insults and accusations don't bother him.
"Eighteen years and 333 days! Zhao Gang completed his first Premier League goal!
Of course, it's impossible for him to break Wayne Rooney's youngest Premier League goal record set during his time at Everton.
But this is already the youngest Premier League goal record for Dragon Country, and even the entire Asia!"
"His appearances, his assists, his goals, even his fouls, may break a series of youngest Premier League records for Asian players! Every step he takes is creating history!"
Jian Lu's voice rose, passionately commentating.
He never dared to dream that there would be such a player who would make him proudly say that this is a Dragon Country player, this is the pride of Dragon Country.
"Awesome!"
"Too amazing…"
"He's created three goals in thirty minutes! In the Premier League!"
Watching Zhao Gang celebrate with his teammates, the Dragon Country audience felt the same way, as if they were on the scene.
Now, there is only one player from Dragon Country who can play as a starter in the top European leagues!
And he lived up to expectations, carrying the expectations of the whole village, and telling the world that Dragon Country players can do it too!
"The last player to play as a starter in the Premier League was Sun Jihai, also at Manchester City! It seems like a cycle, Zhao Gang took over the mantle of his predecessors and continued to set sail with the dreams of Dragon Country's football players!
He has said countless times in interviews that he likes Messi and likes C Ronaldo, but his idol is Sun Jihai! Now, I believe Sun Jihai must also be paying attention to this junior! He will definitely be happy for Zhao Gang!
I believe that when the Dragon Country Sun sees the new rising sun, he will only feel happiness and excitement in his heart!"
And Sun Jihai, who has not yet retired, is indeed paying attention.
The figure running on the field is full of his memories, listening to Jian Lu's commentary, Sun Jihai covered his face and couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.
Dragon Country's football is now extremely lacking in talent. He thought their generation would be a beginning, leading Dragon Country's football to the top of Asia.
Unexpectedly, that was already the peak.
Now at the end of his career, he really wants to kill the enemy but is unable to return to heaven.
He really hopes that he still has enough physical strength to continue to fight, to prove the name of Dragon Country's football, and to bring joy and cheers to Dragon Country's fans.
"Go, Zhao Gang!" Sun Jihai looked at the screen, gritted his teeth and vowed in his heart, as long as you are willing to play for Dragon Country's football, I will do everything I can to protect you, and no one can let you be affected by off-field factors.
The game on the field continued, and in thirty minutes, Sunderland was already 0:3 behind, which severely hit their initial tactics.
And the fans in the stands were obviously even more unable to tolerate this situation, booing their home team like crazy.
Some people even started throwing garbage onto the field.
This made Sunderland's forwards unable to continue shrinking back to defend.
Even if they just score one goal!
When Manchester City finally made a passing mistake, Sunderland's defender kicked the ball out, and the forward standing near the midfield received the ball and charged all the way.
But there were no teammates to meet him!
All the teammates were still defending in their own half!
How could he possibly deal with Manchester City's three defenders alone?
"This is a very good counter-attack opportunity, but there's no one in Sunderland's forward line!" Jian Lu watched Sunderland's forwards fall into heavy encirclement and also admired their fighting spirit.
When Sunderland's receiving players arrived, Manchester City's defense also arrived.
This attack could not even enter Manchester City's dangerous area.
Otamendi cooperated with Gundogan, and the two directly locked the opponent down. Fernandinho, who had rushed out from the side, showed his advantage, stretched out his leg, and forcibly poked the ball from under the opponent's feet!
"Fernandinho! Silva!" Manchester City instantly began a counter-attack.
"Sterling!"
Zhao Gang's previous performance made Sunderland's right side suffer unspeakably. Now, under heavy guard, it is difficult for Zhao Gang to receive the ball, so David Silva passed the ball from the center to the right.
After Sterling got the ball, he twisted his big butt and almost flew.
Sunderland's left side was in emergency!
"Sunderland's two sides are almost being broken through. They need to strictly guard against Zhao Gang receiving the ball, and there will be gaps on the left. It is difficult for a defender to keep up with Sterling!"
Sterling's speed is much faster than Zhao Gang's, and he is a top player in the Premier League. He passed the defender with an acceleration.
Just as he was about to continue forward, a midfielder who came to defend knocked Sterling to the ground with his shoulder.
Beep!!
"Free kick! Sterling won a free kick on the right with a position that is not particularly good. The angle of this ball is too small, it is impossible to shoot directly, you can only look for cooperation!"
Sterling couldn't possibly take a free kick. He had already ran to the edge of the penalty area to prepare to meet the ball.
Otamendi and Stones all ran to the penalty area.
Aguero is not tall, but as a center forward, he must stay inside, whether it's to contain or to pick up leaks.
Anyway, he must stay in the penalty area.
"This position should be taken by De Bruyne." Director Zhang looked at the situation on the field.
"But De Bruyne is not here!" Jian Lu heard what Director Zhang meant.
"Hehehe…"
Sure enough, Zhao Gang and Silva were both standing in front of the ball.
The two lowered their heads and exchanged a few words, nodding almost at the same time.
"If Zhao Gang ultimately takes this ball, then he has truly gained the full trust of his teammates and coach."
The players in the penalty area kept pushing and running.
David Silva took a run-up and rushed into the penalty area with a whoosh!
Sunderland's players were bluffed and hurriedly continued to quickly position themselves, and chased out a person from the penalty area to mark Silva.
Zhao Gang aimed at the opportunity and vigorously kicked with his right foot.
"Outside instep, very fast, back point!!"
The ball had a huge arc and was extremely fast!
Silva not only feinted, causing some defensive loopholes in the wall, but also used his run to make the defender mark the front point.
Then Zhao Gang kicked the ball to the back point.
Otamendi and Stones tilted their heads and jumped up.
The defender also jumped at the same time.
The ball directly passed over them.
Everyone looked at the position of the ball.
The goalkeeper quickly fell, even if there was no one, he would subconsciously make a save.
But there was someone!
Manchester City has a happy boy, who is a bit crotch when it comes to scoring goals, but his positioning is always world-class!
And he is very fast.
He was just at the edge of the penalty area, and when Zhao Gang kicked the ball, he had already rushed up.
Regardless of whether there is a chance or not, Sterling will always run tirelessly.
And God will always favor those who are prepared.
The ball arrived and the man arrived!
Before the football landed, Sterling raised a foot.
Bang!
It directly hit the crossbar and bounced to the ground. The goalkeeper was flustered and wanted to grab it, but Sterling stretched his head, thump!
"The ball is in again!!! Sterling!!"
"The happy boy almost kicked it away again this time! But the result is good! In the forty-first minute of the game, Zhao Gang kicked a very high-quality free kick that passed over the wall and reached the back point. Sterling headed in the ball! 0:4! Manchester City, playing away, turned Sunderland into a sieve in the first half!"
Sterling shook his head, hugged his chest, swish, and slid out of the baseline!
"Assist hat-trick! Scored one goal! Zhao Gang handed in the most perfect answer sheet!
I believe that now, no one will say that he is the biggest flop in the Premier League, right?
Please remember, Manchester City's number eighteen player!
Zhao Gang said the reason why he chose number eighteen was because he joined Norwich at the age of eighteen, which was his new beginning!
That's right, that was just the beginning, the legend continues!!"
The audience in the live broadcast room was stunned and went crazy.
"What the fuck?"
"Is this the Premier League? It's the level of the Championship!"
"A goal and three assists in the first half!! He's a god, brothers!!!"
"Too strong, too strong!!!"
"Quick, quick, everyone go to Wang Laoba's homepage to leave a message. This old boy didn't even want his face before, and brought a group of brain-dead fans to say that Zhao Gang's legs would be broken when he came on the field!"
"For traffic, he doesn't even want his dignity! He has no sense of shame! And those brain-dead fans! Said that Zhao Gang bought himself with his own money, and he has bankrupted himself in order to become famous!!"
