Updated: 2012-08-18
"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... Gong... Gong Zheng... Goal Machine Gong Zheng scored a goal for Manchester United, Manchester United led Chelsea at the last moment..." The commentator of Sky Sports shouted loudly. At this time, he had become a fan of Manchester United. Gong Zheng's goal was so wonderful, it was so time...
At the moment of scoring the goal, Gong Zheng yelled to the sky. What else is more refreshing and comfortable than scoring a goal? Gong Zheng was very excited. He waved his fist frantically, then ran to the sidelines quickly, ran towards the corner flag, and glided on the stands where Manchester United fans were, where the red was boiling...
"The ball is drawn...the ball is drawn...gong Zheng...the goal is Gong Zheng, which is his third goal in this game, hat, hat trick...gong Zheng's header shot helped him complete the hat trick, almost defeating Chelsea with his own strength, and they topped the Premier League...gong Zheng, goal machine...the ultimate kill...the ultimate kill again..." The commentator of Sky Sports was crazy, extremely crazy.
Stamford Bridge Stadium suddenly fell silent, and all Chelsea fans were watching all this in a daze, looking at the Manchester United team members celebrating wildly, their hearts were bitter, as if they had lost the whole world...
The Chelsea players seemed to have lost all their strength at this moment, and fell on the stadium one by one, gasping for breath. Some players were so tired that they were sleeping on the stadium and they tried their best.
"Baopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopaopao..." The hot applause from Chelsea fans sounded in the Stamford Bridge Stadium. These applause was given to these Chelsea players who fought for Chelsea until the last moment. Although they lost the game, in the minds of Chelsea fans, he is the winner, and they deserve respect and admiration.
"It's over, everything is over. In the end, Chelsea lost 2-3 at home and the top match against Manchester United. We want to congratulate Manchester United, but we also want to give applause to the Chelsea players who are not afraid of difficulties and fight at the last moment. They are good, and they are worthy of our learning and admiration. Today's live broadcast ends here. See you next week!" The commentator of Sky Sports said with great emotion.
At the end of the game, Chelsea lost to Manchester United 2-3 at home. They watched the opponent top the league list and Chelsea players were very unwilling to accept it, but they lost because they lost. They didn't say anything. Although they were not convinced in this game, the result was the result. Chelsea players could only accept it.
After this game, Gong Zheng became the focus of the media again. This was the first time that Gong Zheng scored a hat-trick in the Premier League and defeated Chelsea. Such a state had to make the media flock to Gong Zheng crazy. However, Gong Zheng did not intend to accept an interview. Even Gong Zheng did not attend the post-match press conference, which made the media a little unhappy, but what if it was unhappy?
After this game, the Premier League will be suspended for another two weeks, and it is the international match day. Although the European qualifiers for the South African World Cup have ended at this time, the German national team still has a match task, with two warm-up matches.
Both games were away games, and the opponents in both games were American teams, one was the US national team and the other was the Mexico national team. This time Gong Zheng was selected by Lov to join the national team, so Gong Zheng saw that there were many new faces in the German national team. It can be seen that Lov is now preparing for the South African World Cup and inspecting new players.
Among these people, Gong Zheng is considered an old man of the national team, although he is still very young. Both games were away games. The German national team went to the Americas and first faced the US national team. In this game, Gong Zheng started and scored two goals and gave an assist. In the end, the German national team defeated the US team four-to-two and won the warm-up match.
The German national team did not stay for too long. They played a game and left in a hurry. After leaving the United States, the German national team won Mexico again and held a warm-up match with the Mexican national team. In this game, Gong Zheng did not start and sat on the bench for 70 minutes on the sidelines. Gong Zheng helped the German national team score a winning goal. The German national team defeated Mexico 2-1, ending the international match day.
After the game with the Mexican national team, Gong Zheng returned to the club to participate in the next league. During this period, Scarlett Johnson, whom Gong Zheng met at the Beckham family gathering in the United States, appeared in Manchester. Scarlett Johnson came to find Gong Zheng to have a happy night.
When Gong Zheng saw Scarlett Johnson, he realized that Scarlett Johnson was busy with divorce. The divorce lawsuit is now stalemate, and she is in a bad mood, so she came to the UK to find her friend Kayla Lightley and relax and come to find Gong Zheng casually.
As winter comes, the rain seems to be less, but it is very cold. It’s been November. Back to Manchester United, the intensive Premier League schedule is unfolding again.
In the 13th round of the Premier League, Manchester United faced Everton at home. Gong Zheng started. Gong Zheng scored a goal in this game. His partner Wayne Rooney scored twice. Manchester United defeated Everton three-to-zero at home and scored three points.
After this round of matches, Manchester United will face another one-week double match. They ushered in the fifth game of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the middle of the week. Manchester United faces Besiktas at home. In this game, Gong Zheng did not enter the roster because Manchester United has already won the top spot in the group, and now they will focus more energy on the league. In the end, Manchester United lost to Besiktas at home.
After the fifth game of the UEFA Champions League group, Manchester United played against Portsmouth away. In this game, Gong Zheng scored another goal, Wayne Rooney scored one goal, Nani scored two games, Manchester United defeated Portsmouth four-one away.
Next is the 15th round of the league. Manchester United challenged West Ham United away. In this game, Manchester United still played all the main players. In this game, Gong Zheng scored a goal, Giggs scored a goal, Scholes scored twice, and Scholes finally entered the 100-ball club. In the end, Manchester United defeated West Ham United four-zero away and continued to make great progress in the league.
Next is another double match. Manchester United participated in the last round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the middle of the week. Manchester United challenged Gong Zheng's old club Hoffenheim away. Since Manchester United now focuses all its focus in the league, most of Manchester United's main balls did not go to Hoffenheim in this away game, including Gong Zheng. In this way, the match between Gong Zheng and his old club Hoffenheim will be pushed back again, which makes fans less expectation.
Although Manchester United was half-main in this game, Manchester United still defeated Hoffenheim 2-1 away. In this way, the group stage of the UEFA Champions League ended, and the teams that qualified were Manchester United and Hoffenheim. Hoffenheim entered the quarterfinals under the leadership of Rijkaldo.
After this game, Manchester United returned to the league home court to challenge Aston Villa. In this game, Manchester United played all the main players, but Manchester United did not defeat Aston Villa at home. Manchester United lost to Aston Villa with one goal at home, ending their league winning streak.
In this way, the difference between Manchester United and Chelsea was only one point. Although Manchester United still led Chelsea by one point, this point was not very safe. Therefore, Manchester United's pressure is getting bigger and bigger. They even gave up the last European group stage game to grab points in the league, but they still did not widen the difference. Instead, Chelsea narrowed the difference. This was Manchester United's mistake.
At this time, one big thing happened, that is, the draw ceremony for the knockout match of the 2009-2010 Champions League was completed. On the evening of December 17, England time, the draw ceremony for the 2009-2010 Champions League One Eighth Final was held in UEFA headquarters Nyon, Switzerland, and sixteen European giants fought each other.
After the group stage, the teams ranked first in each group are: Bordeaux, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Fiorentina, Barcelona, Sevilla, and Arsenal. The second teams ranked second in the group stage include Bayern Munich, Hoffenheim, AC Milan, Porto, Lyon, Inter Milan, Stuttgart, and Olympiacos.
The teams that entered the top 16 in this UEFA Champions League are relatively average. Three teams in the Premier League have entered the top 16, three teams in the Bundesliga have entered the top 16, three teams in the La Liga have entered the top 16, three teams in the top 16, three teams in the top 16 in Italy have entered the top 16, two teams in the top 16 in the Ligue 1 have entered the top 16, one team in Portugal has entered the top 16, and one team in Greece has entered the top 16.
The principle of this draw is the same as before, that is, the team in the first place in the group stage will face the second in another group, while the team in the same group and the Football Association will start the avoidance principle. In addition, the team in the second group will be the first to join the eighth-finals of the two rounds.
The Champions League quarterfinals will be held on February 17/18 and 24/25, England time, and the second leg matches will be held on March 10/11 and 17/18, and the winning team will become the final quarterfinals. The draw ceremony for the quarterfinals and semi-finals will also be held in Nyon, Switzerland, on March 20, 2010. The final final will be held on May 23, 2010 at the home of Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium.
The knockout match situation is as follows: Stuttgart (Germany) vs Barcelona (Spain), Olympiacos (Greece) vs Bordeaux (France), Inter Milan (Italy) vs Chelsea (England), Bayern Munich (Germany) vs Fiorentina (Italy), Hoffenheim (Germany) vs Sevilla (Spain), Lyon (France) vs Real Madrid (Spain), Porto (Portugal) vs Arsenal (England) and AC Milan (Italy) vs Manchester United (England).
This time Manchester United draws the Italian Serie A giant AC Milan, which is very worthy of attention, because former Manchester United star David Beckham is now in AC Milan. It is said that when David Beckham transferred to the Manchester United team, he said that he would not join the British team and would not be hostile to Manchester United. However, now the dramatic scene has finally been born, and the game between Manchester United and AC Milan will definitely be paid attention to by more people.
Since the Champions League knockout round will only start in February 2010, Manchester United players are now quickly investing their energy in the league and trying to get more points during this period, so that they can devote themselves to the Champions League knockout round when the Champions League knockout round starts.
How long is this round of 16 matches? Manchester United and AC Milan are considered one matches, Inter Milan and Chelsea are considered one matches, Bayern Munich and Fiorentina are considered one matches. In other words, these teams have a slightly worse luck.
On the second day of the draw ceremony of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester United faced Wolves at home. Gong Zheng continued to start in this game. Gong Zheng scored twice in this game, helping the team lead Wolves 2-0 in the first half. Wayne Rooney added icing on the cake in the second half. Manchester United defeated Wolves three-to-zero at home and continued to lead Chelsea with a one-point advantage.
Next is the 18th round of the league, which is also the last round before Christmas. Manchester United challenged Fulham away. Perhaps because Christmas is approaching, Manchester United stars are not focused in this game. In the end, Manchester United lost the game away from home by 0-3.
Chapter completed!
