Seeing Zhang Yang scored his 100th goal for Manchester City.

A huge banner that was prepared was unfolding in the central stand of Manchester Municipal Stadium, which is also the stand of the hardcore fan zone:

The 100th goal, thank you for every goal you scored, thank you for the joy you brought to us, we love you, our captain!

This huge banner immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Great! It's incredible! One hundred goals! This is the 100th goal scored by Zhang Yang for Manchester City! This is the number of goals scored in 78 games! The average number of goals scored per game is 1.28. God, what a terrifying goal efficiency! Such goal efficiency simply makes other shooters of his contemporary era desperate! Congratulations to Zhang Yang! Congratulations to him! We also congratulate Manchester City on the same level, congratulations to Manchester City fans, because they have such a powerful shooter! A captain who can lead them forward continuously! They will be the happiest fans!"

In the end, Manchester City was tied 1-1 by Tottenham Hotspur at home.

After the game, people's focus was naturally on the singular "hundred balls".

The Times: This is an era of pride. He scored his 100th goal at Manchester City! The 23-year-old scorer wrote himself into Manchester City's history.

"Guardian": One hundred goals! Zhang Yang has become the youngest legendary shooter in Manchester City's history!

Not only the English media, Italian media, Spanish media, German media and other mainstream European media have expressed their attention. Although the importance of this number is limited to Manchester City, now, as long as it is related to Zhangyang, it will undoubtedly be the focus.

Although he was tied by Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City is still ranked first in the league standings, with their points being 69 points, and Chelsea following closely behind with 67 points. Manchester City's city rival Manchester United has 66 points, and still retains the hope of winning the league championship.

On March 19, the draw results of the 2009/2010 European Champions League quarter-finals match were held at the UEFA headquarters in Nion, Switzerland.

The draw is hosted by UEFA Secretary-General Infantino. The 2009/2010 Champions League final will be held at the Bernabeu Stadium, Real Madrid's home court. Therefore, as the representative of the final host, Real Madrid's sports manager Butragno is the guest. The quarter-finals of this Champions League come from 6 leagues, the most scattered place in the top 8 since the 1998-99 season. The Premier League and Ligue 1 each occupy two seats, Manchester United and Manchester City, and Lyon and Bordeaux in the Ligue 1; the other 4 seats belong to La Liga, Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan in Serie A, Bayern Munich in Bundesliga and CSKA in Russia.

The draw in the quarter-finals was random, with no seed teams, and the teams in the same league did not avoid it. The earliest pair to draw were Ligue 1 two Ligue 1 champions Lyon and Bordeaux. Then, the other six teams were each given their place.

The final quarterfinal matchup is as follows:

Lyon vs Bordeaux;

Bayern vs Manchester United;

Manchester City vs Barcelona;

Inter Milan vs. CSKA Moscow;

Among these matches, the most eye-catching ones are naturally the match between Manchester City and Barcelona, ​​as well as Bayern Munich and Manchester United. In the eyes of many people, the Premier League team obviously drew the draw and their fate is worrying. Both of these matches can be called a duel between Mars and Earth.

Especially when Real Madrid manager Butragno drew Manchester City and Barcelona together, there was an uproar at the scene, followed by a burst of applause and whistle.

"This is really a good pair of opponents." Adams, a guest of Sky TV and former Arsenal captain, said with a smile.

There is no hatred between Manchester City and Barcelona, ​​but Zhang Yang and Messi have it. In the competition for the European Golden Ball Awards, Messi defeated Zhang Yang with a slight advantage, and in the competition for the World Footballer, Zhang Yang defeated Messi again. The competition between the two is difficult to distinguish. Moreover, the Catalan media has always adhered to the "conspiracy theory". They believe that there are tricks in the selection of World Footballer, and Messi cannot lose to Zhang Yang.

"Now, no matter who supports Zhang Yang or Messi, don't continue to make noise. Which of them is better? When the two rounds of the game ends, everything will naturally be revealed." Eddie Gray also said that although Manchester City's overall strength is inferior to defending champion Barcelona, ​​in a sense, this is indeed the most direct duel, and the best and most direct way for these two to compete.

The first leg of the Champions League quarter-game match between Manchester City and Barcelona was scheduled on March 30, with Manchester City sitting at home in the first leg.

Before this game, Manchester City had two league games to play.

On March 21, in the 31st round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Fulham 3-1 away, and Zhang Yang passed and shot in the game. After this round of the game, his number of goals in the league this season rose to 35 goals, which is only one goal away from his own league goal record of 36 goals set last season. In this round of the league, Chelsea was unexpectedly tied by his opponent. In this way, in the standings, Manchester City had 72 points, Manchester United had 69 points, and Chelsea had 68 points. Chelsea's ranking was surpassed by Manchester United.

On March 27, in the 32nd round of the Premier League, Manchester City returned to their home court. They beat Vigan Athletics four-one at the municipal stadium, and Zhang Yang scored the first record for Manchester City. They started very well and led Vigan Athletics three-zero at the end of the half.

After the game, the title of "Manchester City Evening News" was: Thirty-six goals! Try the record!

Zhang Yang scored his 36th goal in the Premier League this season. In this way, he tied the Premier League single-season goal record of 36 goals he maintained!

"Zhang Yang tied the thirty-six goals he set last season! Now, there are six rounds left in the league, and Zhang Yang still has six games to score and create a new goal record. The increase in every goal data of his goal is the birth of a new record!" - Manchester City Evening News

For Zhang Yang and Manchester City, the joy after this game was not limited to Zhang Yang tying the Premier League single-season goal record he maintained, but also Ronaldo also showed a good competitive state in the game. Ronnie passed and shot, which attracted praise from the media.

After this round of league, everyone's attention was on the Champions League match three days later, Manchester City's home match against Barcelona!

The showdown between Zhang Yang and Messi!

Messi has always chosen to avoid when facing reporters' questions about who he or Zhang Yang is better, which is in line with the usual modest character of Argentina fleas.

However, this time, the media did not continue to remain silent.

On the day before the game, Messi, who had arrived in Manchester, opened his heart to everyone when he was interviewed. Messi said confidently that he came here to win. "No one is willing to lose, Barcelona's defending champion, so we carry more attention and have a greater mission. When we come here, our goal is to defeat our opponents, then enter the finals, and strive to retain the championship trophy. Who is better than Zhang Yang or me? No one will think that he is not good, and of course I think I am better than him."

Messi's performance was so confident that the Catalan media was quite excited. They believed that Messi was worthy of the title of "Mr. Golden Ball". World Sports even used the phrase "This is the domineering spirit of the king of football" to describe Messi's words.

Messi spoke, and his attitude was so confident and tough that everyone immediately focused on Zhang Yang.

A reporter immediately relayed what Messi said to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang did not take Messi's words to heart when he was interviewed, "Everyone can talk to the verbal battle, what's the point of showing off his mouth?" He spread his hands to the reporters, "Dogs that can bite people never bark. After the game, everything will naturally be clear."

His words immediately caused an uproar. The Barcelona criticized Zhang Yang for being rude, compared Messi to being a dog, and asked Zhang Yang to apologize.

Zhang Yang's response to this was, "I didn't say that, this is just a metaphor. Does the metaphor understand? Well, I'm OK to say that, I'm willing to be a vicious dog and bite a big bite on Barcelona's throat. Now, you're satisfied."

His words were simply adding fuel to the fire.

"This is the most ungraceful world footballer I've ever met."

"Compared with Messi, he doesn't even deserve to carry shoes to Messi!"

The Barcelona media hated Zhang Yang so much that they criticized him.

It is said that even Messi, who has always had a good temper, was angry, "I have never wanted to get angry as much as I do now."

Zhang Yang immediately responded in a tit-for-tat way, "If you get angry, be careful to be suffocated." Zhang Yang was also very unhappy. This time, Messi took the initiative to provoke the battle, and he just replied, "It's better now, the initiator seems to be a chaste and fierce woman who was bullied."

In such a battle of words, the popularity of this focus game continued to heat up, and it was soon the match day.

"The focus of the first leg of the 2009/2010 European Champions League quarterfinals, Manchester City's home match with Barcelona. As the team where the new World Footballer and the European Golden Ball winners are respectively, the showdown between Zhang Yang and Messi is the biggest highlight of this game, and this game has attracted much attention from fans around the world."

"Manchester City's home stadium is full, and there are also a large number of fans who cannot come to experience the atmosphere of this quarter-finals, because the stadium can only accommodate up to 47,726 people. For safety reasons, in this game, the two sides used a total of 40,000 fans to watch the game... A stand was vacated between Manchester City fans and Barcelona fans to serve as a buffer zone. The pre-match battle made the smoke of this game very strong..."

The TV in the VIP box is playing live commentary. The commentator will introduce some information about this stadium to you.

Emma Watson invited several of her friends on the Harry Potter crew to watch the game.

Her appearance immediately attracted the attention of the live director.

"Oh oh oh, let's look there, Emma Watson and her friends appeared in the box, beautiful female magician, are you watching the ball as the hostess?" the commentator said with a smile. Zhang Yang is the captain of Manchester City. Emma Watson is Zhang Yang's public girlfriend, saying that he is the "hostess", and it seems that he is also a thing of the past.

PS: If you have something at home, the pig's head feels like his brain is about to explode, and his spirit is about to break. The update is not strong enough, and he has no face to see anyone.
