Chapter 156 Fans

Zhao Gang, who had created too many records, had already been on hot searches many times during the Championship. Although the Europa League was not favored by top teams, it did not attract a large number of fans.

However, in Dragon Country, for Dragon Country fans, Zhao Gang's participation was definitely a hot topic.

Now that he was in the Premier League, the attention and discussion naturally rose, reaching a new level.

For Zhao Gang, the vast majority of Dragon Country fans gave countless praises.

"The real number one in Dragon Country, the number one in Asia!!"

"Yes, Ying Country and Bang Country have produced many talents, with hundreds of players playing in Europe, which is enviable, but there is no one who can really compare with Zhao Gang!"

"Genius! The best frontcourt player in the world at this age!"

"The Golden Boy Award is his!"

Under countless praises, there were, of course, some different voices.

"It's only been four games in the Premier League, let's see after the excitement is over."

"The league is so long, it is impossible to maintain this efficiency all the time."

"You are holding him up to the sky now, and when his performance declines in the future, you will be the ones who scold him."

"Peak produces false supporters, and twilight will witness true believers!"

"Twilight your mother! People have been saying this since the Championship, saying he's a waste when he transfers to the Premier League, and when he performs well, they say he'll be finished in the future. Are you guys just too unhappy with your lives?"

"Yes, my life is happy, and I wouldn't be here looking for a sense of existence."

…

…

These views were just worries about Zhao Gang's future development, and were concerned about Zhao Gang.

And a small part was different, extremely sharp for the sake of traffic.

"Foreigner! He's going to join England!"

"Yes, the media reported that Southgate and Zhao Gang have agreed that he will join the England national team for 20 million pounds a year!"

"Sure enough, he's playing football for money, he doesn't even want his ancestors. Pui!"

"That's why he didn't join the Dragon Country national team. If he joined, he wouldn't be able to play for England in a short time!"

"This ungrateful thing even hired water armies to say that the Football Association didn't invite him."

"He really thinks of himself as a somebody, forgetting why he's so popular, forgetting the people who support him, alas!"

When these arguments came out, there was always a very firm voice.

"Roll!"

"Roll!"

"Roll!!!"

"Let's have a rational discussion..."

"You roll!!"

"It's normal to do it for money, who isn't doing it for money, I can accept it and understand it!"

"You roll too!!!!"

This netizen named "Bagpipes from Afar" went crazy in various comment sections.

Powerful and without a single dirty word, like a god of war, spraying the haters until they scurried away with their heads in their hands.

…

Among all the praises, Sun Jihai's post was probably the most touching for Zhao Gang, who regarded him as an idol.

"On Zhao Gang's birthday night, at Old Trafford, he showed himself to the world. Let our compatriots believe that we can also play football well!

Those children with dreams will take him as their idol and firm up their path.

Maybe in ten years, he will stand with his fans and jointly support the football of Dragon Country!

We wish Dragon Country well, wish Dragon Country football well, wish Zhao Gang well!"

Sun Jihai was Zhao Gang's predecessor, and also the person who had the greatest influence on Zhao Gang in the field of football.

The main member of Dragon Country's only World Cup, that World Cup, from excitement and joy to loss and pain.

The beginning was the peak.

Rapid regression, even decline.

Made the fans feel heartache and disappointment.

Black whistles, bribery, corruption, and even terrible gambling.

Erased those young people with dreams.

Dragon Country football has lost its light and hope.

There will be no more players like Sun Jihai and Zheng Zhi who strive hard, and even less idols and role models will appear.

Now, Zhao Gang is like a strong light, illuminating the darkness, making all the fans excited, excited, and happy.

It can be said that all the hopes of Dragon Country football are pinned on Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang's appearance is worth being happy about, worth celebrating, but also a bit sad.

…

Far away in England, Zhao Gang looked at the post Sun Jihai sent out, and looked at the fans' replies below, he was even happier than when he won the Europa League championship.

He liked these, liked the love of his compatriots, liked the praise of these people, it could be said that he was tireless.

Whether it was Falque, or Peran, Josep, or Zhao Gang's teammates, their evaluation of him was the same, mature to a terrifying degree.

Calm as an ancient well.

But when Zhao Gang saw the praise of his idol, and saw the praise and encouragement of those unfamiliar people with the same blood, he felt a little elated.

Win!

Keep winning!

Champion!

Keep winning championships!

English League Cup, FA Cup, Premier League, Champions League…

He would be happy, and it would be even more meaningful for those who supported him and liked him.

Then he had to become stronger.

He looked at his attribute panel.

Heading increased by 25, reaching 30.

Recent training obviously still had an effect.

And tackling and interceptions had also increased by five points.

There were a total of 50 system points, with 35 available.

Defensively, there was no need to improve for the time being.

He directly maxed out speed and stamina, both reaching 90. To improve further, it would require training and matches, or omnipotent system points.

Among the ratings that had reached 90 points but had not reached the maximum level, stamina should be the easiest to improve.

Zhao Gang was full of expectations for the next Champions League match against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

This was his first Champions League match. The Champions League's appeal to him was only slightly less than the World Cup, and should be about the same as the Asian Cup.

Before the match with Borussia Mönchengladbach, all players needed to check their physical condition.

The recent schedule had been relatively tight, having played in the national team, the Manchester derby, and now they had to play in the Champions League.

Guardiola needed to have a comprehensive understanding of the players' physical, energy, and mental state.

Once he found something wrong, he would quickly make adjustments and change the starting players.

Eileen, who had been waiting for Zhao Gang, smiled and watched Zhao Gang take off his shirt.

Whether it was needed for the examination, or she was using her position for personal gain, a pair of small hands boldly touched Zhao Gang's muscles, and her eyes were shining.

"Your condition… is very good, and your energy reserves are sufficient, and there are no signs of muscle fatigue. You can definitely continue to start and play the whole game.

Of course… you must pay attention to moderation. Although you are very young and strong, it is best to keep it within five times a week, so that your body has enough time to adjust, and try not to exceed twice a day. Understand??"

"Uh…"

"Ollie is very beautiful and has a good figure, which is enviable, but I am a doctor, and you have to listen to the doctor's words."

"You know about this." Zhao Gang touched his face. This woman could say anything, and she was too bold.

"Of course I know, Ollie posts updates almost every day, wishing she could tell everyone. Anyone who pays attention to football knows your relationship."/

"Ah… ah!" Zhao Gang scratched his head. He was different from the English. He would always involuntarily hide his private emotional problems. It wasn't that he was irresponsible, and it wasn't that he was thinking about whether he could steal a piece of the action, he just didn't want to be exposed in public.

Ollie had asked him if he needed to keep it a secret.

Zhao Gang's first reaction was that he didn't want others to know.

But when he saw Ollie's expectant eyes, he didn't know how to refuse.

So, it was made public directly.

"I admire your directness. Many players at your age are unwilling to have a stable relationship. Even if they have a real girlfriend, they don't want to make it public, because… because they are tied down, and many girls who come for fame will stay away.

Zhao, you not only have very good skills and sportsmanship, you are also a man with a perfect figure and character." Eileen said with emotion, praising Zhao Gang generously.

Zhao Gang's face was a little hot, and he didn't know what to say.

"If you have friends, friends who are willing to develop in the English league, be sure to talk to me first.

A person like you must also know very good people!"

"Okay, okay, definitely, definitely!"

After Zhao Gang's examination, Guardiola asked Ventura about the condition of all the players.

Facing the German team in the Champions League, Guardiola did not want to take the initiative to change the starting lineup.

The German league is dominated by one team, and the competitiveness of the other teams in the Champions League is not as good, but their home field has always been difficult to conquer.

The English teams' away record in Germany is not bright.

And the most important thing for Manchester City now is the Champions League, whether it is the fans or the players, the coach or the management.

They all hope to make a breakthrough in the Champions League.

Guardiola hoped to get off to a good start.

After getting Ventura's affirmative reply, Guardiola was relieved.

Four consecutive Premier League victories, with 20 goals scored, topped the Premier League and also led the top five European leagues.

This was unmatched by Barca, Real Madrid and Bayern.

If they lost this Champions League match, they would definitely face overwhelming doubts and even abuse.

The hat of Manchester City being good at domestic battles but not good at foreign battles would really be firmly placed on their heads.

Borussia Mönchengladbach was not a big club, at most it could be called a strong team.

However, this team had an attribute, they were giant killers.

In the long league, they may have strange points lost, and inexplicable mistakes.

But no matter how they were ranked, no matter if they were in decline before, or rising in recent years, they had never dropped the chain when facing the top teams in the league!

No strong team could take advantage of them at their home field, including Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

Borussia Mönchengladbach's state this season was still okay, and they were not at all timid when facing Manchester City, the Premier League nouveau riche who were in fiery form at the beginning of the season.

They were even looking forward to it.

On the Champions League stage, Manchester City was nothing compared to Bayern.

They had beaten Bayern, so what was Manchester City?

The English media were not unanimously optimistic about Manchester City, and the German media believed that Borussia Mönchengladbach was very likely to play the role of a spoiler.

Borussia Mönchengladbach was very likely to bring big trouble to Manchester City at their home field, and even make Manchester City return empty-handed!

"The physical condition of Manchester City players is worrying. Not only have they played against Manchester United and Arsenal, but many players have participated in the World Cup qualifiers, and this time they have come from afar. As long as Borussia Mönchengladbach can defend stubbornly, they are very likely to drag down Manchester City."

"The core of Manchester City's attack is Zhao, who has just landed in the Premier League. Mourinho once said that the Premier League defenders have not yet found a way to limit him, so Manchester City can achieve such excellent results in the Premier League.

Therefore, Manchester City is not as strong as it looks.

Once Zhao's style is understood and restricted, he is likely to lose his current glory!

Borussia Mönchengladbach has never been afraid of such stars. They will use the whole to restrict Zhao, and they will tell the English defenders how they should play football!"

On the evening of September 14, Manchester City players arrived at Borussia Park.

Borussia Mönchengladbach's home ground.

The market value of the German Bundesliga could not be compared with the Premier League, but the German football market was not worse than the English, and even the atmosphere at home was more fiery than the Premier League.

The most crazy home field in Europe was from Westfalen, Germany, which showed the enthusiasm and passion of German fans.

The entire Borussia Park was filled with black and white home jerseys. Zhao Gang stood in the player tunnel, listening to the loud singing in the stadium.

He didn't understand the German language, and he also felt that the German language was the most unpleasant in the world. This was not discrimination, just a simple sensory feeling.

Although he didn't understand it, the passion and pride in it were common.

At this time, it was about 2:30 in the morning in Dragon Country.

And it was not the weekend, many fans needed to rest, and they had to work hard for their lives the next day.

But Zhao Gang's first Champions League match still attracted a lot of fans' attention.

Many fans directly took leave, and did not go to work the next day.

There were also those who went home and went to sleep, set an alarm clock, and got up on time to watch, just as if they got up early!

"Brothers! With Manchester City's momentum, it should be no problem to kick a third in the Bundesliga, right?"

"Borussia Mönchengladbach, this neuroknife, you don't know, the king of gamblers, you think he's okay, he'll pull you down to watch, you think he's finished, he'll immediately harden up. It's really hard to say."

"The German home field is very difficult. Especially in the Champions League."

"Who cares! I'm here to see Zhao Gang, me, a Manchester United fan!"
