Chi Meiya
Chapter 343 They are strong because of me!
The applause was thunderous, lasting for a full half-minute.
Amidst the terrifying applause, fans in every stand passed huge portraits over their heads from left to right, hand to hand.
The sound of cheers made the blood of everyone in the stadium surge.
"The fans at Carrow Road... they really treat Zhao Gang like a hero. In just one short season, he brought them their most glorious moment in a century... In the current Premier League, and even the entire top five leagues, I'm afraid only Zhao Gang has two home stadiums. This is a tremendous honor."
While Zhao Gang at the Etihad Stadium was unaware of what was happening at Carrow Road, he continued to participate in the game with his teammates after celebrating with the fans.
Leicester City's players didn't press as hard as they did in the first leg, because it was late in the season, and they couldn't stop Manchester City from winning the title anyway. They didn't have many goals left. If they injured the opponent or themselves in the process of pressing, it would be a greater loss than gain.
After Manchester City controlled the situation on the field, the subsequent game didn't have much fierce attacking.
They had a more important game in three days.
So at the end of the first half, Zhao Gang and Kompany were substituted.
Throughout the second half, the two sides exchanged a few attacks, and Leicester City tried to attack a few times.
However, Bravo was in good form and resolved the two threatening attacks.
On the Manchester City side, Iheanacho wanted to show himself, running all over the field and taking three shots, but he didn't score again in the end.
The two sides lacked the tension of the first leg. When the game ended, Guardiola and Ranieri hugged each other, without mentioning the game.
Ranieri gave Guardiola a blessing, hoping that he could defeat Barcelona in the Champions League and prove the strength of the Premier League team.
Not just good at internal conflicts but useless in external battles, a laughingstock for foreign teams.
At this time, the fans of the entire Etihad Stadium were still chanting Zhao Gang's name, even though he had already received the cheers of the entire stadium when he was substituted at the end of the first half.
This was the love and support of Manchester City fans for Zhao Gang.
From the Championship to the Premier League, from a flop in other people's mouths to becoming a core player of the Premier League champion, he only took one season.
This was Zhao Gang's unparalleled ability and charm.
"Countless Norwich fans are fantasizing, fantasizing that one day Zhao Gang might return to Carrow Road and lead them to continue creating miracles and glory. And Zhao Gang once said in an interview that one day in the future, he will definitely return to Carrow Road, not to retire, but he will definitely leave his peak years to Carrow Road... as long as Carrow Road doesn't object to his return..."
Now, Zhao Gang will continue to create a legend with Manchester City!
Now Zhao Gang already has the League Cup and the league title with Manchester City, and the FA Cup is about to advance to the final! The Champions League semi-final will kick off in the middle of the week!
Let's wait and see!"
The Dragon Country fans were excited when they saw the grand occasion at the Etihad Stadium and the broadcast footage from Carrow Road.
"The courtesy Zhao Gang received in England is really unprecedented. To me, it's a kind of glory."
"I feel particularly awesome now, hahaha... like being there in person..."
"Manchester City will definitely eliminate Barcelona and enter the Champions League final! I hope to face Real Madrid. Real Madrid lost to Manchester City in two rounds in the Champions League, and this time they will definitely go all out!"
"Looking forward to Zhao Gang and Messi, and then fighting with C Ronaldo!!"
"Continuously defeat the world's two strongest players!!"
Thirty-five consecutive unbeaten games, this is the longest unbeaten record since Arsenal's unbeaten season to win the title.
But Arsenal's dominance in the Premier League at that time was much worse, they drew too many games, while Manchester City only had two draws.
Even if Manchester City has achieved this terrifying achievement, the atmosphere inside Manchester City is still not very good.
Because they are about to face a terrible opponent, the La Liga team Barcelona.
The level of competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid is not much different.
Manchester City eliminated Real Madrid with a draw and a win in two rounds in the group stage, that does not mean that Manchester City can beat Barcelona like before.
Manchester City can win Real Madrid, largely because Real Madrid was not familiar with Manchester City at the time, and played a little carelessly, with insufficient defensive personnel preparation.
Ramos, Casemiro, Varane and others simply did not strictly guard Zhao Gang.
They simply disdained double-teaming, which allowed Zhao Gang to find so many opportunities.
Now, in the knockout stage, and the semi-finals, no team will allow Zhao Gang to get whatever he wants like in the group stage.
The defense will inevitably improve more than one level.
Moreover, Barcelona's offense is almost unsolvable, and it is difficult to truly limit them and prevent them from scoring.
Even Atletico Madrid's tenacious and resilient defense cannot limit them, let alone Manchester City's defense?
The absence of Kyle Walker will inevitably have no small loopholes.
After training, Guardiola gathered all the players, including Kyle Walker and Sane, although they are not eligible to participate in the Champions League, they are also two inseparable generals of Manchester City.
Guardiola rarely breathed out and said, "Last season, we faced Barcelona in two rounds and didn't score a goal, and we were scored four goals. Our offense and defense were like children in front of Barcelona.
If Barcelona hadn't secured their advantage with a 3-0 win in the first leg, we wouldn't have only lost one goal in the second leg.
I used to be the coach of Barcelona. There, I completed all the honors that a club coach can get.
Many people say that this team is marked with my brand, and the passing and controlling style makes the whole of Europe desperate.
But it has little to do with me. Any team with such excellent players can do this.
But... the premise is that someone can gather those excellent players together to produce a violent chemical reaction.
I believe that in this world, there can be more than ten or twenty coaches who can lead Barcelona to the top of football, but only me, only me can gather that group of excellent players together to form a dream team!
Only me can bring out the potential of those players!
I am doing something that all coaches ignore, finding the best players, making them better, and then forming an invincible division to win all the championships!
In the eyes of outsiders, I just won the championship with a group of excellent players, but only professionals know what is going on.
Now, I am here, once again gathering the most powerful and best players in the world, and leading them together to defeat the former world's strongest!"
