Chapter 134 Singing forward (1)
The game between Manchester City and Juventus did not end because of the end of this game. Before Buffon's head, the two had verbal communication. In the eyes of many people, what the two said must be the direct reason for Buffon's subsequent rampage.
Zhang Yang was once the 'god' of AC Milan, but "Milan Sports" did not defend him: "It is obvious that this is the quarrels and grudges between the two people before the game. Poor Buffon actually fell into the trap of the young Zhang Yang."
In the report of "Milan Sports", this time, the battle between the captains of the two teams, the veteran Buffon, lost to the young captain of Manchester City. Their evidence is that after being "turned over" by Buffon, Zhang Yang was able to hold back his anger and temper, which was very difficult for Zhang Yang.
"He is becoming more and more mature. When Zhang Yang put on the captain's armband of Manchester City, everyone was waiting to see Manchester City's jokes. But now I'll take a look. Manchester City has an increasingly qualified captain. This Chinese guy is obviously ready to become the leader of this team..."
On September 19, 2009, the 6th round of the Premier League, a focus game, Manchester City's away game against Manchester United, which is also the focus game in this round of the Premier League.
It should be said that when two Manchester teams met last season, the media generally had one-sided optimism about Manchester United. This time, the media and fans still have certain support for Manchester City.
Especially Manchester City just massacred Juventus four to zero away in the Champions League, which made Manchester City look strong and had an unstoppable momentum.
However, the final score of this Manchester derby was Manchester United four to three Manchester City! Ferguson's team won the Manchester derby at home.
Zhang Yang made a pass and shot in the game, but still failed to help Manchester City escape from Old Trafford.
Manchester City, Zhang Yang scored a goal, Tevez scored a goal, and Errano also scored a goal. On the other side of Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, Berbatov, Scholes blossomed at four points.
The turning point of the game occurred in the 81st minute. Tevez scored the third goal of Manchester City and helped Manchester City to score the score three to three. The Argentine was so excited. He took off his clothes to celebrate and was shown a yellow card. This was Tevez's second yellow card in this game. The Argentine was sent off with a red card.
Manchester City, with ten people facing Manchester United's crazy attack, lost at the last moment. Scholes' long shot broke through Jiwen's ten fingers, and the 'Ginger Head' completely detonated the Old Trafford Stadium.
After this defeat, the media did not exaggerate too much about Manchester City's failure. This is mainly because, after last season, the media has already gained a clear understanding of Manchester City. They have begun to slowly regard this team as a new force in the Premier League, a force that is enough to shake traditional BIG4. It is not possible to draw a conclusion about Manchester City too early just because of the result of a game.
Of course, this is also a lesson to learn from one's mistakes. They used to ridicule Manchester City last season, but they were slapped in the face soon. Now, they naturally won't be so "blind" anymore.
At this moment, Italian National One played a video, which was a video of Zhang Yang and Buffon clashing during the match between Manchester City and Juventus. The TV station invited lip-language experts to interpret the original conversation between the two.
After Zhang Yang scored the third goal of Manchester City, he ran back.
When passing by Buffon, Buffon, who was in a bad mood, spat hard on the ground.
At this time, Zhang Yang stopped and 'lip interpretation', "What's wrong? Are you angry?"
Buffon was not polite, "In my eyes, you are nothing? Boy, you must learn to respect your opponent."
Zhang Yang snorted, "Are you worthy of my respect? I'm sorry that I can't catch the ball from the goal line this time."
It was this sentence that made Buffon angry. He rushed up and knocked Zhang Yang to the ground.
The title of "Milan Sports" is: This is the truth of the incident.
Even the Italian media responded differently to this conversation.
The Turin Sports Daily angrily accused Zhang Yang of provoking Buffon, believing that this was Zhang Yang's conspiracy and deliberately angered Buffon, causing Buffon to be sent off. They believed that all this was planned by Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang was a despicable guy.
The Roman Sports newspaper is relatively neutral. They believe that Zhang Yang and Buffon are both very "hard" in their words, but what Zhang Yang said is even more exciting to Buffon, making Captain Juventus unable to control his emotions first.
At this time, AC Milan fans were in a relatively complicated mood. From this conversation, they could see that one of the reasons why Zhang Yang sarcastically mocked Buffon was that Buffon hit the ball that crossed the goal line in the game against AC Milan, and the goal was ignored by the referee. In fact, in this game, Buffon's behavior also caused a lot of discussion. The side supporting Buffon believed that Buffon was a Juventus player, so it was naturally impossible to stand up at this time and say that the ball crossed the goal line, so Buffon should not be criticized; while the side opposing believed that Buffon's behavior did not match his usual image and should be criticized. This is not an honest person.
Of course, many media still chose a more tolerant attitude and did not blame Buffon too much.
However, it is obvious that as one of the original "victims", Zhang Yang has never forgotten this incident. Coupled with the various conflicts he had with Juventus and the quarrels with many Juventus players, including the quarrels with Buffon, which has always made his relationship with Buffon very bad.
This time, Zhang Yang is the captain of Manchester City, and Buffon is the captain of Juventus. The two became opponents again, so naturally new and old hatreds surged together. Zhang Yang did not miss any opportunity to attack Buffon, and Buffon had long been angry at Zhang Yang's words before the game, "When I was in AC Milan, the best memory was to see Buffon pick up the ball from the net." This sentence was angry, and was stimulated by Zhang Yang and the team was behind three goals. It would be strange if it didn't explode.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Buffon was thinking about "one life for another life". He played Zhang Yang. He was sent off by a red card. Zhang Yang would definitely fight back. He would also be sent off by a red card. The idea of "death with Zhang Yang" was also a red card. Unfortunately, Zhang Yang remained rational at the critical moment. Not only did he not be deceived, he humiliated Buffon.
As for the English media, when talking about this, they praised Zhang Yang more. What they talked about most was that after Zhang Yang was "turned over" by Buffon, they had already swung their fists to fight back. This young captain, who has always shown himself as a "hot temper", was able to maintain his rationality and give up his impulsive behavior.
"Zhang Yang is Manchester City's well-deserved captain and leader!" Manchester City's official website also said excitedly.
How to say, the most realistic meaning of this matter is that the hatred between Zhang Yang and Juventus has further increased, and his relationship with Buffon has further deteriorated. There was no story or hatred between Manchester City and Juventus, and it also made enemies because of this game. There was another football grudge in the football territory of mainland Europe.
The English media's decision to not pull the wrong side after Manchester City lost 3-4 to Manchester United away, because in the seventh round of the league a week later, Manchester City won a big victory at home. They defeated West Ham United four-one at home, Zhang Yang scored for Manchester City's first record, Ronaldo scored twice, and Ireland, who came on as a substitute, also scored a goal. West Ham United only scored a goal to save face in the last stage of the game.
Three days later, Manchester City ushered in the second game of the Champions League group stage at Manchester Municipal Stadium, which is also the second game of Manchester City's home court to usher in the highest level of European competition after decades.
On September 29, 2009, Manchester Municipal Stadium was full on this day. Manchester City's opponent Alkmaar was average in strength and this game was not a heavyweight confrontation, but this still could not stop the enthusiasm of Manchester City fans.
"The entire municipal stadium is full of fans, and Manchester City fans have been looking forward to such a game for too long." Commentator Leinker looked at the Manchester Municipal stadium full of Manchester, and was also filled with emotion. "I hope Manchester City players can dedicate a victory to their fans."
Another commentator, Eddie Gray, was obviously not satisfied with Reinkell's statement, saying, "Zhang Yang should lead his team to score early and let the stadium usher in a sea of cheers."
Leinker glanced at his old partner, "Are you so confident in Zhang and his team?"
"Of course." Eddie Gray smiled.
In this game, although Manchester Municipal Stadium was full, more fans did not buy tickets. They could only stay at home or bar to watch the game. At this time, when they heard Eddie Gray say this, many fans cheered, and they followed Eddie Gray loudly: Of course!!!
As Eddie Gray said, Zhang Yang did not disappoint Manchester City fans.
At the 26th minute of the game, Manchester City fans had reason to cheer, and they received their first goal in the game.
This was Manchester City's offense that advanced to the frontcourt. Wright Phillips pretended to cut inward, but suddenly passed the football to Zhang Yang. Seeing Zhang Yang take the ball, Alkmaer's players immediately seemed to be facing a big enemy. Zhang Yang attracted the attention of at least four Alkmaer players alone. At this time, he suddenly passed a transfer ball with a strong penetration. After receiving the ball, Richards broke through and passed it straight through the ball, and Modric also successfully counterattacked. Facing the goalkeeper who was in a hurry, he easily shot the near corner to score.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! This is a goal that Manchester City fans have been waiting for for a long time! They finally saw their players scoring in the Champions League again at their home court." Leinker shouted loudly.
Huge cheers broke out throughout Manchester Municipal Stadium, like a tsunami.
This tsunami broke out three times in this game.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Zhang Yang! Zhang Yang scored! This is his third goal in the Champions League this season! He expanded the score for Manchester City! This is a goal that stabilizes the morale of the army!"
The reason why the Commentary Eye said this is because before Zhang Yang's goal, Alkmaar performed very tenaciously and threatened Manchester City's goal several times.
At this time, Zhang Yang's goal caused the Dutch team to suffer a blow and also stabilized the morale of Manchester City.
After scoring the goal, Zhang Yang also made an action to kiss the captain's armband on his arm to the fans in the stands. This celebration immediately detonated the whole audience.
At the end of the first half, the score was temporarily frozen at 2 to 0.
The second half of the game was just a few minutes away. At 51 minutes, Bridge's header for Manchester City locked the score at 3-0, and this goal completely hit Alkmaar's hope for a comeback in this game.
In the end, in this game, Manchester City defeated Alkemar three-to-zero at home, achieving two consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage.
In another game in this group, Juventus defeated Standard Liege 1-0 away.
In this way, after two rounds of the group stage, Manchester City won all two games, scoring seven goals, not losing one goal, and ranks first in the group. This group was previously predicted by people to be between Juventus and Manchester City, and Juventus will easily beat Manchester City and win the first place in the group stage. Now it seems that it will be a very difficult task for the Zebras to steal the first place in the group from Manchester City.
Chapter completed!
