Chapter 151 The Battle for Asia's Strongest
After the Champions League match against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Zhao Gang once again won the Man of the Match award.
Apart from the Premier League game against West Ham United, where Zhao Gang and Agüero, who scored a hat-trick, both received the highest ratings, Zhao Gang was the best player in the team and the entire match in the remaining league games and one Champions League game!
Such a performance not only made the Manchester City fans adore this new signing, but also made the compatriots in England cheer.
Zhao Gang's jerseys had long been sold out.
Some people even offered high prices for Zhao Gang's match-worn jerseys and signed jerseys.
Some of the match-worn jerseys were taken away by Manchester City officials, and some were collected by Zhao Gang and given away to Ollie, Dong Lu, and his family.
As for signed jerseys, Zhao Gang had never signed his own jersey since arriving at Manchester City.
However, in the series that Ta An Sports collaborated with Zhao Gang on, there were signed sneakers for sale, which had long been sold out.
In England, Manchester and Norfolk, Ta An Sports even had dedicated stores, and sales were very hot.
This kind of scene is rare for domestic brands.
As for other places, Zhao Gang's popularity was not very high, and his influence was still somewhat different compared to stars like Messi and Ronaldo.
However, the local compatriots were very enthusiastic and set off a whirlwind.
Dong Lu, who had been in contact with Zhao Gang, contacted Zhao Gang several times and was almost crying.
He hoped that Zhao Gang could issue a statement, or even a lawyer's letter warning.
Because there was a guy named Wang Dao who was now selling Zhao Gang's match-worn jerseys and signed jerseys everywhere!
He was fooling the fans.
He went to Wang Dao to reason with him, but was blocked, and couldn't even speak in the live broadcast room.
"This guy sells other people's jerseys with a mix of real and fake, but sells all fakes of yours!" Dong Lu cursed. The match-worn jersey in his hand was genuine and unsigned, while Wang Dao's match-worn jersey was fake, and the signature was even more fake.
But it was selling very well.
He had no shame.
Zhao Gang knew about this Wang Dao, but now Manchester City's schedule was too tight, and he didn't want to be distracted.
In addition to the Champions League and the Premier League, there would be the League Cup in a while.
Three days after the Mönchengladbach game, they would travel to London to challenge Tottenham.
In the first few rounds of the game, Manchester City would face three of the Premier League's Big Six teams.
With one last game left, their tense nerves could relax a little.
Before the game against Tottenham, Zhao Gang asked Guardiola for a day off and went to London in advance, waiting to reunite with the team when they arrived in London.
For a player who had been working hard in training and performing perfectly on the field, Guardiola had no reason not to grant him leave.
But there had to be a reason for the leave.
What for?
Zhao Gang scratched his head, he certainly couldn't say he was going to fuck Ollie.
"Ollie, Ollie, we haven't seen each other for a while, and her work is quite busy."
"Stroll around, have a meal." Zhao Gang added, seeing Guardiola's knowing look, trying to conceal his true intentions.
"Ah! Stroll around, have a meal, young people are romantic, not doing anything else?"
"That...that..."
"Haha..." Guardiola grabbed Zhao Gang's shoulder and rubbed it hard. "The game against Tottenham is very important. You are young and have good stamina, but you have to be moderate. Everyone says you are a highly talented player, only your coaches know your hard work and self-discipline. I don't need to interfere too much in your life, just don't be too indulgent, go."
Zhao Gang happily packed his things and ran to London in advance.
There was no time to stroll around, but they had a meal, and he drank milk.
Young people are just so good, they have strong bodies and excellent recovery abilities.
Zhao Gang also brought Ollie two tickets, which was his privilege.
Ollie would continue to sit in the away fans section and cheer for him.
Zhao Gang originally wanted to restrain himself, but he couldn't resist Ollie's lovely appearance.
Gentle and considerate, wild and sexy.
As a result, on the morning of the game, Zhao Gang couldn't hold back and came twice.
Ollie not only had a jersey, but also a nurse's uniform and a police uniform.
Zhao Gang was stunned.
Dragging his somewhat tired body, Zhao Gang reunited with the team.
Ollie was not tired at all, but full of enthusiasm.
Men are naturally stronger than women, but some battles are really hard to win.
...
Tottenham Hotspur, this team's arch-rival is not Manchester City, but Arsenal, who are also in North London, but they are equally energetic when facing Manchester City, showing 120% of their fighting desire.
Because Manchester City is now very popular and has the best attacking firepower in Europe.
If they could bring them down, it would be a super boost for Tottenham.
Another point is that Arsenal was beaten badly by Manchester City, so if they could beat Manchester City, they would gain enough face in front of their arch-rivals!
Tottenham did not have a Champions League match, and the Europa League was only played by full substitutes, so they could be said to be fully invested in this strong match.
Under Pochettino's training, Tottenham's attacking firepower was extremely fierce, only slightly inferior to Manchester City.
Pochettino's pursuit of Zhao Gang was actually the most eager among all the Premier League coaches.
He had praised Zhao Gang's performance several times in public, but unfortunately Tottenham could only give Zhao Gang an absolute starting position. Whether it was the transfer fee or the salary, it certainly couldn't be too outrageous.
This was Tottenham's team-building policy, the owner Levy had money, but he didn't give the team money.
Before the game, there were still a considerable number of media outlets predicting that Manchester City would retreat unscathed and defeat Tottenham to win all three points.
The reason was simple, Manchester City showed a very strong championship appearance this season, and Arsenal and Manchester United were almost vulnerable in front of them.
Tottenham was not much stronger than these two strong teams, so it would be difficult to get points from Manchester City.
But there were also many media outlets that were not optimistic about Manchester City.
Manchester City's schedule was intensive, the Champions League, the league, and even most of the main players in the team participated in the national team's games, and they played as the main players.
Although they won the game against Borussia Mönchengladbach, it was also an away game.
This time it was another away game, and the players were probably suffering from the fatigue of the journey.
Physical fitness was a big problem, and there might also be a problem of lack of concentration mentally.
In addition, the team's core Zhao Gang was photographed by reporters running to London the day before to meet his girlfriend, staying at Ollie's house, and not showing up until noon the next day.
What did he go to do?
Everyone knew.
So Zhao Gang was likely to perform abnormally.
Another point was that Tottenham's home ground was very tough, not only this season, but also in previous seasons.
Facing the Premier League's Big Six, they were a bit crotch on the road, but they could often defeat their opponents at home.
They were not at a disadvantage in their matches against Manchester City.
Especially in the past two seasons, Tottenham's lineup has become more and more stable, and their home ground has a very strong combat effectiveness.
The reason why they failed to compete for the top four was not because they lost too many points against strong teams, but because they often went astray against mid-range teams.
Although Manchester City's recent attack has been very powerful, a careful analysis shows that Zhao Gang participated in most of the goals.
If Tottenham could limit Zhao Gang's performance, they could likely defeat the unstoppable Manchester City at home.
And Zhao Gang happened to be discovered entering a gentle land at this time.
It seemed that Manchester City was likely to crash in this game.
The English media analyzed the situation of the two teams.
And the Dragon Kingdom media and the Korean media were most concerned about other things.
Asian Derby.
The real Asian Derby.
After the central media gave Zhao Gang the title of the strongest in Asia, Zhao Gang was going to challenge the previous Asian brother, Son Heung-min, at White Hart Lane.
The central media believed that Zhao Gang was the strongest in Asia, but most people in Korea did not think so, of course, a small number of people admitted that Zhao Gang was the strongest in Asia.
Those Koreans who admitted that Zhao Gang was the strongest in Asia also recognized another thing.
Zhao Gang was a descendant of Koreans.
