Chapter 027 Hot Premier League (Part 2)
On August 20, Manchester Municipal Stadium, the weather is cloudy and turns cloudy.
On this day, the stadium welcomed a group of special guests.
This is a tourist team of about 70 people, from far away China and is visiting the Manchester City team's honor room at this moment.
Miss Elysee is introducing the long history and glory of Manchester City to these tourists. "Manchester City has won two top league titles in England, in 1937 and 1968, respectively."
"It's been too long." A sigh came from the crowd.
"Yes, it's been too long." Elysee looked around and found that no one noticed this place, and whispered, "In fact, if you want to visit the honor room of the football club, you should go to the other side of Manchester. Compared with that, this place is too shabby."
Her travel agency is a local travel agency. This time she received a task to accompany this group of tourists from China to visit Manchester, visit football clubs, and watch games.
At first, Alice thought these were Manchester United fans, because this was normal. Manchester United has a huge influence throughout Asia. Too many Asian tourists come to Manchester to travel and watch the game every year.
However, when she learned that these people were targeting Manchester City on this trip, she was so surprised. Alice was a Manchester United fan. She really couldn't imagine that the shabby neighbor had something worth visiting. What's wrong with it, it was shabby. Although Manchester City is very rich now, all Manchester United fans, including Alice, still looked down on Manchester City from the bottom of their bones. Not to mention anything else, these trophys in Manchester United's honor room are enough to make Manchester City shy of meeting people.
"We're just here to see Manchester City." A middle-aged tourist said unhappily, "Miss, please continue." This fan from Harbin was a little angry that the female tour guide always seemed to want to 'pull them' to Manchester United's side.
Alice shrugged. Since these people insisted, she could only continue her work. Although she is a Manchester United fan, both as a tour guide and a fan know very well about Manchester City's honor. This is because, as a Manchester United fan, she has learned about Manchester City's history. This is a compulsory course. When facing Manchester City fans, they will show off their honors casually, and then... and then you can see the embarrassing faces of Manchester City fans. Manchester City fans will not talk about Manchester United's glory even if they kill them. That will last for several minutes.
"This is the FA Cup trophy in England. Manchester City has won the FA Cup four times, but that's a long time ago." Alice paused, "1904, 1934, 1956, 1969. That's right."
At this time, the middle-aged fan smiled and turned his head to the hikers around him and said, "Although Manchester City does not have much honor, it is also a century-old store. Now I am more and more looking forward to Zhang Yang's performance in Manchester City."
"That's right." Someone in the crowd responded, "Playing football in a wealthy family is nothing. Zhang Yang was the biggest contributor to AC Milan's championship last season. Now, coming to Manchester City and leading Manchester City into a wealthy family is the most powerful."
"This is true, but apart from Zhang Yang, there are really no players who dare to do this. If they don't do it properly, they will ruin their career."
"Of course, who is Zhang Yang!" a very young fan said proudly.
Alice's Chinese is excellent. She can fully understand what these Chinese tourists are saying. When she heard these words, the somewhat proud female tour guide was thinking. These people were all for Zhang Yang, which did not surprise Alice too much. However, she was a little surprised to see the proud expression for Zhang Yang in the tone of these Chinese fans.
"You are all Zhang Yang fans?" Alice asked.
"yes."
"no."
I heard some people say no, Alice was surprised, "No? How could that happen..."
A big and thick man with a thick gold chain around his neck said, "I'm not a fan, I'm just here to see Zhang Yang play football. Zhang Yang is my fellow villager. I'll cheer him on."
Alice has a very ordinary impression of the person who is talking. In her eyes, she has long regarded this nouveau riche as a nouveau riche who is a Chinese nouveau riche, clamoring to invite other tourists to dinner and rushing to pay. This is stupid in Alice's eyes. No matter how rich she is, she doesn't need to do this. Nouveau riche is like this, she said to herself.
However, when Alice looked at the man again, she had a hint of respect in her eyes when she heard this man's words.
"If Zhang knew you were here to see him for a match, he would be very happy." Alice said with a smile.
"Thank you." said the middle-aged fan. He also liked the female tour guide.
"Miss Alice," said the man wearing a gold chain, "Is Zhang Yang very good?"
"Uh--" This question suffocated the beautiful female tour guide, "Well, it's amazing, he's a very powerful star." But she didn't notice that the person who asked this question smiled a little cunningly. He had no malice, but just enjoyed this pride and pride, which was the pride and pride that Zhang Yang brought to them.
On August 21, 2008, in the second round of the 2008/2009 Premier League season, Manchester City played against West Ham United at home.
Although West Ham United is only a mid- and lower-level team in the Premier League.
Their opponent Manchester City is not very famous, but it should be no exaggeration to say that this game is one of the most popular matches in the Premier League this round.
This is Zhang Yang's home game debut at Manchester City. Since the new season's Premier League schedule was announced, all Manchester City fans have been waiting for this game, and the tickets for this game have long been sold out. The leader of Manchester City fans has long announced on behalf of Manchester City fans that in this game, it will be impossible for the entire stadium to see even an empty seat, and all the fans are ready to cheer for Zhang Yang.
In the first round of the new season, after Manchester City beat Aston Villa four-two away, this game has become even more popular. In the past week, what Manchester City fans most look forward to is that time passes faster and look forward to the coming soon.
Sky TV also selected this game to broadcast live to all England. I believe that even if it is not a Manchester City fan or West Ham United fan.
There are also many people who are interested in this game. They all want to see if Zhang Yang will continue to be hot, and they all want to see what this Chinese scorer will look like when his debut at Manchester City at home.
"In this game, Zhang Yang will be extremely excited." Leinker said, "I have studied this player. The more important and more meaningful the game, the more exciting he is. In this game, as long as Kubishley's team does not lose to Manchester City here, they will be considered to have completed the task." Leinker sat in the commentary seat and started working.
Tell the audience the analysis of this game through the microphone.
"I don't think Zhang Yang would allow him to make any mistakes in his debut at this stadium." Eddie Gray added next to him: "He won't allow the situation you said to happen. West Ham United has no chance because Zhang Yang will be particularly excited in the game. Yes, he is like a bulldog. The bigger the challenge, the more exciting it is." There is a saying Eddie Gray didn't say, that is, can West Ham United really be called Zhang Yang's test? Not counting!
"Bulfighting dog?" Leinker smiled, "Your metaphor is really vivid. He is really fighting spirit, haha."
The entire stadium was warming up when Manchester City players entered the first **, Zhang Yang played three footballs in the stands of the stadium. Thanks to the fans for their support, the entire stadium burst into warm applause.
In a corner of Manchester Municipal Stadium, there is a square array where all the fans wear Chang Yang's No. 10 jerseys, which shows that they are Zhang Yang's die-hard fans.
Just in the second game representing Manchester City, Zhang Yang has countless die-hard fans.
When the players of both sides officially appeared and Zhang Yang's name was read out on the radio on the spot, the Municipal Stadium ushered in the second **. All fans stood up and cheered Zhang Yang's name. Such courtesy is usually something that the team's heroes can only enjoy when they are replaced when the game is about to end. Manchester City fans treated Zhang Yang very well before the game started. This is thanks to him for his wonderful performance in the last game. In the last game, Manchester City was away game, and many fans failed to see Zhang Yang's wonderful performance in person. This is not too late to thank him.
At this time, the starting lineup of both sides of today's game was also played on the big screen of the stadium.
West Ham's lineup (4-4-2): 1-Green/21-Berhramy, 27-Davenport, 15-Upson, 2-Neal/20-Farbert, 8-Parker, 16-Noble, 11-Etherington/9-Ashton, 12-Carlton Cole.
Manchester City's starting lineup (4-4-2)): 1-Joe Hart/2-Richards, 22-Dunn, 33-Kompani, 5-Sabaretta/6-Marklele, 8-Wright Phillips, 7-Modric, 11-Elano/28-Sturidge, 10-Zhang Yang.
Although Manchester City's formation today is 442, Wright Phillips' position can act as a winger in advance at any time. It is more like a change in the 433 formation than a 442 formation.
"Mark Hughes chose Daniel Sturridge, who was only 19 years old on the front line. It seems that Mark Hughes is still hesitant about choosing a flamboyant partner, and he is still trying a new combination." Leinker said.
"Whether it's young Sturric, Vassel or Botzinov, now it's not about Zhangyang to adapt to them, but about them to adapt to Zhangyang and take the initiative to adapt to Zhangyang's characteristics. Whoever can do the best first will be able to occupy the starting striker's position first." Eddie Gray said more thoroughly.
