Chapter 137 Lock the first group (first explosion)
On November 21, 2009, Manchester City was visiting Liverpool's Anfield Stadium.
Although Liverpool is only ranked seventh in the league this season, which is much inferior to last season's results, Liverpool is a veteran giant after all, and the player configuration is also top-notch. This game is also considered a battle of dragons and tigers.
Especially in the scorer list, Zhang Yang had nine goals, ranking second, while Torres led the scorer list with ten goals. In this game, the two will definitely work hard to find goals, especially Zhang Yang, who is definitely unwilling to be the last one. As for Torres, he finally could suppress Zhang Yang in terms of the number of goals, so naturally he would not be willing to let Zhang Yang catch up.
The final score of this game was 2:2. Manchester City tied Liverpool at Anfield Stadium and continued their unbeaten record. Since losing to Manchester United in the sixth round of the league, Manchester City has now been unbeaten in the league and the Champions League in ten games.
This game once made Reds fans think they could beat Manchester City at Anfield because they still led Manchester City 2-0 at 70 minutes into the game.
However, the role of the star was fully played in this game.
Perhaps it was because Zhang Yang was a little tired after the frequent business activities in the past two weeks. He performed mediocrely in more than 70 minutes.
However, it is obvious that the score of zero to two stimulated Zhang Yang, and he exploded at a critical moment.
In the 79th minute, after Zhang Yang received a pass from Tevez, he first picked up the ball and passed Carragher with great beauty, then faced Scotter's interception, flashed out of the room, and shot with a beautiful arc, breaking through Liverpool's goal, rewriting the score to one-to-two.
Then, three minutes later, Zhang Yang dribbled the ball and fell into the double-team of three Liverpool players in the frontcourt. He calmly and beautifully split the football. Liverpool players were attracted by Zhang Yang. There was a complete gap here. Modric passed the ball directly and Ireland scored.
Manchester City tied the score when they were behind zero to two, and held Liverpool's unwilling counterattack in the last moment.
However, in this game, Torres scored a penalty kick and Zhang Yang also scored a goal. After this game, Torres scored 11 goals and continued to lead the scorer list. Zhang Yang followed closely behind with 10 goals, and behind them was Drogba who scored 9 goals.
"This season is really a season for scorers. After the 13th round of the league, Torres scored 11 goals, Zhang Yang's goal count was 10 goals, and Drogba had 9 goals. In several seasons in the Premier League, there has never been such a fierce competition in the scorer list as this season..." The English media was also very excited about this phenomenon.
What does the league rely on to attract fans' attention? It depends on the intensity of the game, and also on the stars! Zhang Yang, Torres, Drogba, these three are the most famous scorers in football today. The three of them are chasing each other on the scorer list, and sparks are all enough to arouse fans' bigger viewing**.
Three days later, the 2009/2010 Champions League group stage game.
Manchester City faces Alkmaar away.
Outside the international airport of Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, there are crowds of people. Although Manchester City is not a European giant, it is still ridiculed by some giant teams as a "nova team", but Manchester City is indeed worthy of the word "Starlight Shining". Looking at their personnel configuration, let's not talk about first-class stars such as Wright Phillips and Ireland and Richards. Zhang Yang, Ronaldo, Robinho, Tevez, these four attackers can definitely be said to be super-level. Even some super giants will probably envy Manchester City's attack line combination's luxury.
In the airport lobby, Zhang Yang saw the huge wooden clogs erected outside the airport at a glance, "What is this?" he asked.
"Clogs." Ronaldo replied that the Brazilians had played in the Netherlands and knew them well.
"Clogs?" Zhang Yang asked in confusion.
"There are three treasures in the Netherlands. You won't know about this, right?" Ronaldo said.
Zhang Yang shook his head, he really didn't know, "Which three treasures?"
"Clogs." Ronaldo pointed to the huge clogs, "This is for publicity, they are rich in clogs here."
"What about two treasures?"
"I know, it's cheese." Robinho said.
"I know this too." Zhang Yang said. He remembered it. It was cheese. When he was in China, he saw a piece of cheese that cost hundreds of dollars in sales in the supermarket. He was fussy and was despised by the salesperson and said, "Look clearly, this is made in the Netherlands." Only then did he realize that Dutch cheese is famous.
"Where is another treasure?" Zhang Yang asked.
Robinho and Ronaldo laughed, and Ronaldo patted Robinho on the shoulder as if he was a big brother, "Robi, tell him."
Robinho winked, "You really don't know?"
Zhang Yang rolled his eyes. I want to know, why are you pretending not to know?
"The other treasure is-" Robinho laughed, "Yes-breasts."
"Is it... it's a breast. room?" Zhang Yang was obviously shocked by the answer, "Is breast augmentation very popular here?" No, it seems that Kanziguo likes to do that thing more. The Dutch blonde MMs don't need breast augmentation at all. He looked at the blonde beauties walking by not far away. The smallest one should probably be a C cup.
"Ah hahahaha." Ronaldo and Robinho burst into laughter. This immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Is it funny? Where did I say it wrong?" Zhang Yang was a little annoyed by the laughter.
"Hahaha, Zhang, stop pretending to be pure. You won't even have heard of the red light district in the Netherlands." Ronaldo said loudly. He said on purpose, and while he was also aiming at Zhang Yang's lower abdomen.
When everyone else understood what was going on, they all laughed.
"Ah. So Zhang is so pure..." Some guys said deliberately.
Zhang Yang glared at everyone in anger, "Pure and innocent, I am still a virgin."
Tsk~ Everyone responded to him with a straight middle finger. Although Zhang Yang had not many scandals, he had a beautiful French female anchor’s rumored girlfriend. Everyone knows that Zhang Yang was actually dating Emma Watson. According to the rumors spread by Robinho, Zhang Yang and Hermione must have rolled over the sheets, not to mention that Zhang Yang had a tryst with the French female anchor. It was no secret that the newspaper reported it many times, but this guy dared to say that he was a pure little virgin.
Not only Amsterdam has a world-famous red light district, but also a famous pornographic center in Alkmaar, which is the red light district where the ‘sex service workers’ work. It is legal in the Netherlands. If you want to sell your own prostitutes, you can sell them publicly as long as you pay money to the authorities to get a license.
After leaving the airport in Amsterdam, the whole Manchester City team took a bus to Alkmaar. As soon as they arrived at this place, Zhang Yang saw the "Red Light District" here, because the street where the bus passed was the location of the Red Light District. Even on the walls on both sides of the road, there were signs openly hanging on the walls on both sides of the road, saying: "ACHTERDAM", Alkmaar.
After settling down at the hotel, Zhang Yang came to the pornographic center for investigation at the instigation of Ronaldo and Robinho.
The entire Sex and Love Street is 150 meters long, with glass windows, red curtains and red lights at the door, which is the business boudoir of prostitutes. There are about 100 on both sides. It is said that these prostitutes are from poor Eastern European countries.
However, it is daytime, those gorgeous blonde beauties dressed up have not yet gone to work, and Zhang Yang has not seen the true face of the so-called window beauties. Of course, he doesn't like this kind of "low-end product". Instead, Ronaldo and Robinho have been talking about coming and recalling it again. This is not the first time these two have been here.
He secretly looked in through the gaps in the pink curtains and found that it was simple to arrange, with only a large bed and a washbasin. This working environment was 'hard'.
At this time, it was only around 10 o'clock in the morning, and there was no prostitute or a girl at work. A beautiful woman came towards me, walking alone in the red light area, and Ronaldo immediately said, "This is the prostitute who comes to work."
"Why are you so sure?" Zhang Yang asked in confusion.
Ronaldo scratched his head and said with some uncertainty, "I think it looks familiar..."
Zhang Yang looked at Ronaldo deeply, then gave a thumbs up, "Do you want to say hello?"
"It's better not to mention it tonight." Ronaldo laughed.
"I have no interest in this, and I won't stop you guys from messing around." Zhang Yang thought about it and reminded Ronaldo, "However, you can't come out to play before the game. After winning the game, you can play whatever you want."
Ronaldo looked at Zhang Yang and didn't say much. No matter what, Zhang Yang is the team captain, such a reminder is necessary. Moreover, to be honest, Ronaldo and Zhang Yang were teammates when they were in AC Milan, and they also knew Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang now gives Ronaldo the feeling that this kid has indeed grown a lot and is more and more like a captain.
Alkmaar is a medium-sized Dutch city, a very beautiful and leisurely town. The place is not very big, and one hour is enough to make a circle. It is this small town that caused a storm in the Dutch League last season. The small town team led by Van Gaal won the championship of the Dutch Football League in 2008/2009 in one fell swoop. This is a record-breaking thing for the Dutch League. The championship of the Dutch League has always been monopolized by the three giants Feyenoord, Eindhoven and Ajax. Alkmaar won the championship. This is the only team outside the top three in the past few decades that have won the championship trophy of the Dutch League.
On November 24, 2009, Manchester City and Alkmaar won the game. Manchester City team was not easy to win. They were still behind zero to one during the break. Not long after the second half, Robinho, who performed mediocrely, was replaced by Tevez. Not long after the Argentine came on the court, he received an assist from Modric and scored a goal. Then, Zhang Yang also took advantage of the free kick to score a very beautiful direct free kick.
Manchester City beat Alkmaar 2-1 away.
