Chapter 120 Ronnie! Ronnie! Ronnie (1)
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!”
The camera followed Ronaldo tightly, and everyone could see the expression on the Brazilian's face that became ferocious due to excessive excitement.
"Injury stoppage time!! Manchester City equalized the score! Ronaldo scored! Ronaldo!"
"Ronaldo scored! This is his goal again after ten months!"
"Ronaldo's goal! He scored as soon as he recovered from injury! He equalized the score for Manchester City! This is a great appearance!"
Excitedly, Manchester City players ran together, surrounded Ronaldo, yelled and celebrated the goal!
"Ronnie, you're doing a pretty job!" Zhang Yang hugged Ronaldo, and he laughed loudly.
"Ronnie! That's great! You're the champion shooter!"
Mark Hughes was also very excited at this time. He seemed to have completely forgotten at this time. He did not trust Ronaldo and did not think that this outdated Brazilian star could help his team.
"A star like Ronaldo, no matter when it is, don't doubt him! Don't underestimate him! This super forward who truly has the ability to determine the outcome of the game! Although time has passed and the years have mottled traces on him, he is still the Ronaldo who makes everyone cheer for it!"
"Who can imagine that almost yesterday, someone said that he could consider retiring. He was going to drag his scarred right leg back to China to retire! Today, he would shut up everyone!"
"Zhang Yang sent the football to his old partner among the crowd, and Ronaldo made a contribution! This is a goal with great symbolic significance in Manchester City's history!"
"This is Ronaldo's goal! This is Ronaldo's goal! This is his first goal in the Premier League! This Brazilian conquered La Liga and Serie A. Now that he has come to the Premier League in the twilight years of his career, what other results can he make in this league?! I believe that after seeing this goal, we may have some expectations!"
At this time, the commentator who had been sarcastic about Ronaldo was stunned. His voice was sobbing, as if he was bullied. "...Manchester City scored a goal... The goal was Ronaldo! Ronaldo scored a lucky goal, and they equalized the score..."
Lucky goal?!
NO!
This is: a wonderful goal!
Perhaps no one expected Manchester City to equalize the score at the last moment, or perhaps even more unexpected was that Ronaldo would score the goal, and Zhang Yang passed the ball to Ronaldo. All of this made the goal even more crazy! The commentators of the live game were crazy one by one, knocking on the table and stomping their feet, desperately increasing the volume and speed of speech to show their passion.
Manchester City celebrated crazy, and although it was just a draw, they celebrated the goal as if they had captured Stamford Bridge.
As for Chelsea, their players' expressions seemed very frustrated. They were able to lead Manchester City with one less person. If they could win the game, this would be a great encouragement and stimulation for Chelsea! The players almost thought they would win, but they didn't expect that they would still be scored by Manchester City in the last moment!
Hiddink stood on the sidelines with a somewhat lonely expression. His Chelsea was very strong and almost succeeded. Even at the last moment, it seemed irreproachable for Zhang Yang's defense. However, who would have thought that he would fail and fail... Hiddink never expected that Ronaldo would stand up for Manchester City at this time!
In the end, the final score between Manchester City and Chelsea was four-to-four. Manchester City tied Chelsea away and took a point away from Stamford Bridge Stadium.
"...At this time, a fast-growing fat man stood up..." After the game, The Times described Ronaldo's goal in this way.
After the game, the media paid special attention to the battle between Manchester City and Chelsea. Zhang Yang scored a goal, which increased his Premier League goals this season to 31 goals! This caused a burst of surprise and cheer from the media! This was the first time that a player had scored more than 30 goals in the league with only 29 rounds!
Now, nine rounds of the league have only ended. At this time, no one seems to be doubting Zhang Yang's ability to break Andy Cole and Alan Hiller's 34-goal goal record in a single season.
Of course, Ronaldo returned from injury and helped Manchester City score the fourth goal to equalize the score, which was also the focus of media attention. The media paid considerable attention to Ronaldo's Premier League appearance.
If it weren't for the other game that was also a striking focus, the forward line between Zhang Yang and Ronaldo, between Manchester City, might have been even more eye-catching.
In this other focus game, Liverpool, who was away from Old Trafford, lost one goal first and reversed and defeated Manchester United 4-1. This is the first time that the "Reds" Liverpool has beaten Manchester United in the same season twice in the past seven seasons. This season, the dialogue between the four giants remains unbeaten. The victory in this game was Liverpool's 100th Premier League victory during his tenure as Benitez coached Liverpool, and it is also the 150th defeat in the top league under Ferguson's army. It is also the first time that Benitez has led Liverpool to win at the Dream Theater since he took over the coaching point of the Reds. No one expected that Ferguson's 150th defeat in the top league ended in such a crushing defeat.
The away game defeated Manchester United by four-to-one, which also made Liverpool's popularity unspoken after this round of league, surpassing Manchester City, which tied Chelsea with four-to-four.
Benitez also proudly claimed after the game that 'Liverpool is the best team in Europe'.
If the words of the head coach of the "Red Army" are enlarged to a season or the last two or three seasons, this is a bit exaggerated, but, in this week, the Reds seem to deserve this praise.
In the mid-week Champions League knockout match, Liverpool swept the Champions League 4-0 at home Anfield, winning the most times, with La Liga defending champion Real Madrid. This game shocked the entire European football world at that time!
Now, they won the Premier League 4-1 away game at Old Trafford on the weekend, with the defending champions of the Champions League and the Premier League. Liverpool completed seemingly impossible tasks in just 4 days. The match with Real Madrid and Manchester United is related to the Reds' hope of competing for the championship on both battlefields. As a result, Liverpool swept the two armies in a clean and neat way. For a time, the Reds became the strongest team in Europe.
Liverpool has always been good at playing Champions League games. In the middle of the week, when facing Real Madrid, the Reds defeated the Galaxy Fleet in a refreshing way. The big victory over Real Madrid is undoubtedly Liverpool's best "stimulant" for preparing for Manchester United. They finally defeated Manchester United four-one away. Benitez's team captured the Dream Theater for the first time.
The media are also waving the flag for Liverpool, "Being able to score Real Madrid and Manchester United in 5 days has proved that the "Reds" are the strongest team in Europe recently. We heard Liverpool fans singing "We want to get five" in the stands in Old Trafford, but they know that there is still little hope for the championship. Whether they can laugh to the end depends on whether the team can stop Manchester United. But today's result will definitely surprise Manchester United. No matter what happens at the end of May, they will definitely not forget today!" - Liverpool's mouthpiece, The Post, said excitedly after the game.
After this round of league, Manchester United lost 62 points in the Premier League standings in the 2008/2009 season, and still led the standings with 59 points; Liverpool followed closely with 59 points; Chelsea ranked third with 57 points; Manchester City ranked fourth with 53 points; it is worth mentioning that after being crazily massacred by Manchester City with 8-3 points, Aston Villa, the biggest dark horse in the Premier League this season, seemed to have no spirit. After that defeat, they lost one to two at home in this round of league. The team's points have been caught by Arsenal. Arsenal and Aston Villa, who won the ball in this round, both scored 52 points, and Arsenal ranked fifth with the advantage of goal difference.
A week later, the 30th round of the Premier League.
Manchester City beat Sunderland 1-0 at home, and Ronaldo scored the goal for Manchester City. Zhang Yang sent a straight pass, and Robinho broke into the penalty area with a single shot. After his shot was saved by Sunderland goalkeeper, Modric passed the ball horizontally in time, and Ronaldo easily scored an empty goal.
The title of "Manchester City Evening News" is: Ronnie! Ronnie! Ronnie!
Some mainstream media in Europe have also begun to pay attention to Ronaldo's magical recovery at Manchester City. It is said that after learning that Ronaldo scored two consecutive games at Manchester City, Galliani angrily found the team doctor of Milan laboratory, who "judged Ronaldo cannot continue to play healthy", and was furious. During the winter transfer, Milan did not ask for a transfer fee, and Ronaldo was allowed to transfer freely. Obviously, Galliani is very distressed now.
In this round of the league, the biggest accident happened to Manchester United, who lost to Fulham 0-2 away.
In addition, Chelsea lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the London derby zero-to-one!
Arsenal defeated Newcastle 3-1 away, pushing the Magpie to the abyss of relegation.
The most famous big score match in this round of the league took place between Liverpool and Aston Villa. The Reds defeated Aston Villa five-to-zero at home! Aston Villa, a dark horse with a glorious season, was slaughtered by Liverpool five-to-zero after being swept by Manchester City at 8-to-3! While cheering for Liverpool, the Post also sighed, "...O'Neal's team, after being massacred by Manchester City, seemed to have lost all their fighting spirit and strength... It is not surprising that they were massacred at Anfield Stadium..."
After this round of league, people were surprised to find that Manchester City, which lost two consecutive games, was caught up by Liverpool. Now, in the standings, Manchester United and Liverpool both have 62 points. Manchester United ranked first with the advantage of goal difference. Chelsea still ranked third after losing this round. Their points are 57 points, Manchester City ranked fourth by one point, and Arsenal is one point less than Manchester City, ranking fifth. As for Aston Villa, now ranked sixth with 53 points, not only is they getting farther and farther away from the top four in the league, but their sixth place also shows signs of gradually losing their position. Everton now has 49 points and is starting to be eyeing the sixth place.
After the 30th round of the league, Zhang Yang had a two-week holiday. These two weeks were national team match days, and Zhang Yang was still excluded from the national team. Therefore, when several internationals from Manchester City went to their respective national teams to report, Zhang Yang remained in Manchester.
There are still quite a lot of internationals in Manchester City. Kompany is a Belgian international, Zabaleta is an Argentina international, Dunn is an Irish international, Richards and Wright Phillips are both England internationals, goalkeeper Joe Hart is also England's No. 2 national goalkeeper, and Modric is a Croatian international. This time, this Brazilian national team training camp, thanks to Manchester City's performance this season, Ellano was also selected for the Brazilian national team with Robinho.
Well, and that's right, Sun Jihai was also called back to the Chinese national team this time to prepare for the warm-up match.
Even Manchester City fans were surprised to find that in less than a season, the team had become a big star player in the international team.
Of course, for this team, the most bizarre thing is the team's flag, the offensive core of the team, Zhang Yang, the world's most valuable star, is he not an international player... The Manchester City Evening News even made a gossip on this matter, referring to this matter as the most incredible thing in football history.
In the past two weeks, Zhang Yang didn't go anywhere, so he stayed in Manchester, focusing on training, honing himself in the dungeon, and maintaining his own state.
The league has been held for thirty rounds and has entered the final sprint stage. Although Manchester City is now ranked fourth in the league, it is only one point ahead of Arsenal in the fifth place. In the next round of the league, Manchester City will face Arsenal away. This game is extremely important, and it can even be said to be related to Manchester City's efforts this season! Zhang Yang, as the banner of Manchester City, is now under a lot of pressure.
During the two-week national team game day, something big happened.
In the 2010 South Africa World Cup South America Qualifiers, Argentina coached by Maradona came to Bolivia's plateau home court La Paz. In the eyes of many people, it was not a problem for Argentina to win Bolivia, but Bolivia used the home advantage of the plateau to give Argentina a 6-1 strike, which shocked fans all over the world on April Fool's Day night. This also tied the biggest failed score since the Argentina national team was founded. Previously, Argentina 1-6 in the 1958 World Cup group stage, Czechoslovakia 1-6 in the 1959 Copa America play-off, and Colombia lost 5 goals at home in the 1993 World Cup America Qualifiers.
At the end of this game, Maradona's lost expression became the front page headline of almost all media in Argentina.
What Manchester media is concerned about is that their number one star Zhang Yang comforted the Argentine head coach on his Twitter and expressed support to Maradona. Diego also thanked Zhang Yang for his support as soon as possible.
The match between Manchester City and Arsenal is the latest game in the 31st round of the league. Before this game, there is a focus game, that is, Chelsea faces Newcastle away. Judging from the rankings of the standings, there seems to be no suspense in this game. Chelsea ranks third, while Newcastle is deeply involved in the relegation zone. However, this game is particularly eye-catching.
The most important reason for attracting attention is that this game is the first game of Newcastle legendary star Alan Hiller coaching Newcastle!
When Newcastle was deeply trapped in the relegation zone, Newcastle invited the greatest legendary star in the hearts of fans, Newcastle's hero Alan Shearer to coach the team, hoping that this city hero can save Newcastle from the fire and fire.
After the game started, the director also gave more shots to Newcastle's new coach.
Shearer gave people a bright feeling as soon as he came up. He was wearing a suit and lace, put his hands in his pants pockets, chewing gum in his mouth, and chatting and laughing with his assistant from time to time, which was in sharp contrast to Hiddink's performance. The Dutchman looked at everything on the court with a heavy expression. However, the result of the game was that the latter won, although there was no sign of victory in the first half of the game. However, the result of the game was that, in terms of the coach, Shearer was just a primary school student in front of Hiddink.
Before the game, Hiddink said that Hiller's reputation seemed to be unfair to him, which aroused the extreme anger of the Newcastle people, believing that Hiddink lacked the necessary respect for Newcastle's legendary hero.
However, the development of the game proves one thing. Facing Alan Hiller, the coach of Chelsea coach Hiddink, has reason to be proud. As expected, as Chelsea exerted its strength in the second half, Newcastle's lack of strength immediately appeared, which is the most critical factor. Alan Hiller's "spiritual law" that coaches the team can improve the team's combat effectiveness by 200 percentage points is no longer effective. In the case of being behind, although Hiller's demeanor has remained unabated, he has an action of drinking water. This proves that the new Magpie coach was actually very nervous at that moment. As the Sun said after the game, Hiller's return does not seem to be saving Newcastle at sunset.
Newcastle's defeat is actually very similar to the current situation of the Argentine national team. Maradona's "spiritual victory method" finally failed on the Bolivian plateau.
Maradona is to Argentina, just like Hiller to Newcastle, both of them are Gods of their respective teams. The Tango Legion needs the leadership of spiritual leaders to get out of the predicament; St. James Park also needs the return of the former heroes to escape the danger of relegation. But in terms of the role of head coach, they are all true newcomers.
On the second day after Chelsea won Newcastle 2-0, the most eye-catching game in this round of Premier League, Manchester City's away game against Arsenal is about to kick off.
Chapter completed!
