In CCTV's sports news on the second day, the match between Manchester City and Chelsea was naturally the focus. CCTV still has no right to broadcast the Premier League game this season. Therefore, for many Chinese fans, especially old fans who do not know how to go online, they have to pay attention to Zhang Yang and can only broadcast the news through sports news. Moreover, because they have not obtained the broadcast rights of the Premier League, CCTV has no right to use Premier League game images to report in the news.

This also further increased fans' complaints about CCTV's "short-sightedness" and stingyness.

For Chinese fans, this season is much better than last season. At least, because Manchester City entered the Champions League, they can see Zhang Yang in the Champions League matches.

On November 9, 2009, the last match day of the Champions League group stage.

Manchester City faces Juventus at home.

This game is also the focus of attention of the media and fans. Of course, the focus is not on the group situation, because Manchester City has locked the first place in the group one round ahead of schedule, and Juventus has also locked the second place in the group.

However, considering the old grudge between Zhang Yang and Juventus, this game is particularly eye-catching, especially when the two sides met in the first round of the group stage, the conflict between Zhang Yang and Buffon led to Buffon being sent off for red cards and being suspended for two rounds of games, which made the hatred between Zhang Yang and Juventus a deeper level.

The final score of this game was 3-2. Juventus performed very tenaciously at Manchester Municipal Stadium. They fell behind twice and equalized the score twice. However, in the end, Manchester City was still the winner. Zhang Yang scored a super long shot that was amazing at the 89th minute of the game! Securing the victory.

In this way, the 2009/2010 Champions League group stage game was over, and Manchester City won all six games in the group stage and reached the top 16 with a record of all victories. They are also the only team among the eight groups to maintain a record of all victories.

This also made Manchester City a focus of attention and attention. At first, people were skeptical about Manchester City. Some media even believed that Manchester City's "nova team" had a mission in the Champions League this season to reflect the feeling of the Champions League. No one expected that such a team would be the most glorious team in the group stage.

At this time, an article by Times reporter Hayes also caused an uproar again.

The title of this article is: Why did I choose Zhang Yang!

"Messi and Zhang Yang, who is qualified to be the winner of the Golden Ball Award? Everyone has their own answer. My answer? Of course, Zhang Yang! Why did I choose Zhang Yang? It has nothing to do with being a Premier League player, and it has nothing to do with being a Zhang Yang fan. What I just want to say is that Zhang Yang is a real superstar. Let's see before he came to Manchester City, Manchester City's performance, and compare it with the current performance of Manchester City. Champions League small

Manchester City is the only team that has won all the game. What an amazing achievement. Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka's Real Madrid did not do it, and Messi's Barcelona did not do it either! Zhang Yang was the team's number one scorer when he was in AC Milan. Of course, there are many great players around him. Now, at Manchester City, he has become the banner of Manchester City. He is the captain of the team. He leads this team forward.

On their path! Creating a dynasty is always more difficult than moving forward in the glory of an ancient dynasty, which is even a hundred times more difficult! We cannot say what kind of legend Zhang Yang can achieve in Manchester City, but at least, now, he is successful. He is the well-deserved NO1 in the hearts of many fans. He dares to come to Manchester City and lead Manchester City to create their own glory... Here, there is an idea, Messi, if Messi leaves Barcelona and Lamacia's system, can he still be as great as he performed last season? There is no answer to this question, because the assumption is not valid. However, I know that Zhang Yang has done it, and his performance at Manchester City is even better than his performance in the giant AC Milan. He is a real phenomenon-level star, so Messi and Zhang Yang, I choose Zhang Yang!"

This article by Times reporter Hayes sets a new debate on which Zhang Yang or Messi is more qualified to win the 2009 Golden Globe Awards. The views that Hayes upheld in this article have later become an important reference point for many people when evaluating Messi and Zhang Yang.

That is, Zhang Yang's "heroism that is brave enough to create a dynasty" is more commendable, or Messi's star who has achieved success in a system is more reliable.

Of course, Hayes's success towards Messi came from Barcelona's system. Leaving Barcelona, ​​Messi's view that Messi is no longer magical has also caused a lot of discussion.

Three days later, on December 12, 2009, in the 16th round of the Premier League, Manchester City was tied by Bolton 3-3 away, and Zhang Yang scored a goal in the game.

On December 16, 2009, Manchester City faced Tottenham Hotspur away in the league. They staged a super reversal when they were behind zero to three. Zhang Yang scored twice in the game and helped the team defeat Tottenham Hotspur four to three!

After this game, the Premier League held 17 rounds, and Manchester City scored 37 points. Their points were the same as Manchester United, but because they were four fewer than Manchester United's goal difference, Manchester City ranked third, while Chelsea still led the standings. Their points were 40 points, and Arsenal ranked fourth with 35 points. Last season, missed the top four in the league, which hurt Arsenal. Professor Wenger also shouted a slogan, 'If Arsenal missed the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, it would be the end of the world', expressing the professor's determination to enter the top four in the league.

Manchester City's outstanding performance in the Premier League this season, especially in the Champions League, shocked the entire European football world. Even those who have always looked down on this "nova team" the most have to admit that this team is already a team that can participate in the Premier League championship competition and even affect the situation of the Champions League.
