"Jesus's consistently high-level performance is inextricably linked to Zhao's characteristics.

Zhao is young, but his personality and on-field experience are exceptionally prominent; he's like a seasoned player with over a decade of experience.

Whether at Norwich or Manchester City, Zhao seamlessly integrates with the forward attackers.

He rose to fame at Norwich, where coach Farke discovered his midfield talent, leading to his increasingly deeper positioning.

At Manchester City, he's already at the defensive midfielder position and can even fill in at right-back.

But this doesn't limit his offensive capabilities at all."

"He always adapts to his role and makes his teammates better.

Alright, the players are entering the field!"

As Zhao Gang walked onto the pitch, the cheers of Manchester City fans filled the entire stadium. Zhao Gang raised his hand and applauded in response to the fans' cheers.

A large number of Manchester City fans stood up, applauding him continuously.

This young man has already become the most indispensable player for Manchester City.

Guardiola treats him like a treasure, and Manchester City fans regard him as the master of the Etihad.

In Dragon Country, this match is also a focal point.

Many fans who have a one-day weekend can watch the broadcast of this match.

If it were late Friday or Sunday night, it would really discourage many people.

"Many Manchester City fans really see Zhao Gang as a god! Zhang, do you know of any other fans who have this kind of adoration for Zhao Gang?"

"That would definitely be Norwich. Even now, if you go to Carrow Road, you can see Zhao Gang playing in the Championship and Europa League wearing the Canary jersey.

Europa League champions! A second-tier league team, it's a glory they haven't had in a hundred years, and probably won't have in the next hundred years either.

This season, Norwich, having just been promoted, can even compete in the Champions League, although their record is very poor, but this kind of experience is probably a miracle that will never happen again."

"Yes, for fans who regard football as a religion, the Norwich fans of the past two years are lucky and blessed by God. They've had a wonderful and magical journey that most European clubs have never had. The honors of most Premier League teams can't compare to this Norwich team.

You, Southampton, Everton, these Premier League powerhouses... like Tottenham, right?"

"Hehehe..."

"And all of this can be said to have stemmed from Zhao Gang's sudden emergence.

While Norwich fans reminisce about all of this, the Zhao Gang they miss is already achieving even more insane and brilliant results in the Premier League, at Manchester City.

They've only drawn one game in the Premier League, and they've even defeated Real Madrid in the Champions League, entering the knockout stage as the top of their group. Zhao Gang has also put up a terrifying average of three goals per game, breaking Cristiano Ronaldo's single-season Champions League goal record. It's hard to imagine that these kinds of achievements were created by a Dragon Country player.

When Manchester City played away against Norwich at Carrow Road, the Norwich fans prepared a touching, highest-level welcoming ceremony for Zhao Gang, treating him as a city hero.

When the whole stadium shouted 'hero,' not only Zhao Gang, but also me, as a compatriot, and probably even more Dragon Country fans couldn't help but shed tears.

I believe that in the future, Zhao Gang will definitely become a legend, a hero of Manchester, a nation, and a country!"

"Now, Messi and Ronaldo's competitive states are irreversibly declining. When the era belonging to Messi and Ronaldo ends, I believe the era of Zhao Gang will arrive, and this era, at least from the looks of it now, seems unlikely to have a two-star situation."

"Actually, I really want to see Zhao Gang facing Messi and Ronaldo in their absolute prime. What a great and grand occasion that would be."

On the field, the players from both sides stood in their positions.

The referee, Clattenburg, blew the whistle to start the match.

This highly controversial referee in the Premier League is both famous and blind.

Especially Manchester United fans, who are extremely dissatisfied with his performance, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they hate him to the bone.

Blind and heartless are some Manchester United fans' evaluations of him.

He's also a famous member of the Premier League's "Four Blind Men."

But his refereeing skills are indeed top-notch in Europe, and few referees can match his control of the game's tempo.

Normally, when a referee makes a mistake, fans will just curse a few times, but only these famous referees will cause large-scale discussions.

Many Manchester United fans even think that the reason Manchester United hasn't entered the top four is largely because of this "blind monk."

This match is also being officiated by Clattenburg, and many Manchester United fans even think this is a conspiracy by the Premier League to target Manchester United!

Manchester United has the ball, Manchester City chose the side.

Usually, the team that guesses the coin toss correctly will choose the side first, because there may be sunlight issues during the halves of the game, causing the goalkeeper to make some judgment errors.

So choosing the side first is very advantageous.

But this time, Manchester United actually wanted the ball first.

The reason is a bit metaphysical.

Because when Zhao Gang faces Manchester United, in both matches, he assisted his teammates to score a goal right at the start!

Then they finished the battle in the first half, treating Manchester United like their son.

This gave Manchester United players a lot of psychological suggestion.

If Manchester City has the ball, won't they get hit with a blow to the head again?

So, Rooney simply asked for the ball first.

This really made De Gea breathe a sigh of relief.

He doesn't have to worry about getting scored on right at the start.

Rooney received a pass back and started to organize the attack. Seeing the pressing from Manchester City players, he wasn't anxious, but passed it back to Pogba.

Pogba is full of personality and lacks discipline, a typical representative of black players.

But his strength is indeed outstanding, and he has a very high value at a young age.

His performance on the field, even if he underperforms, is still stronger than most other players.

So Mourinho, although somewhat helpless with him, has to use him.

After Pogba got the ball, he wanted to look for an open teammate, but found that there weren't any good options, so he directly dribbled the ball forward himself.

Now, European football emphasizes team-based play. Players are fixed in their positions. Except for a few special players, most players have basically lost the opportunity to take the ball forward.

It's not that they don't have the ability, but the team's tactics don't allow it.

More people cooperating is always simpler and more threatening than individual combat.

Pogba doesn't care about tactics. I'm awesome, I have a high value.

Zhao Gang can dribble the ball from his own penalty area to the opponent's penalty area, and a coach like Guardiola didn't say anything. Why can't I?

I have to dribble!

When Manchester United players saw Pogba going forward, they could only follow him forward.

Compress Manchester City's space and then look for opportunities.

But Pogba had just crossed the halfway line when he encountered Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang shouldn't be appearing in this position; he should be further back.

But there's a problem here.

That is, no matter where Zhao Gang appears, even in the goalkeeper position, Guardiola wouldn't say anything.

Bravo always feels that if Zhao Gang appeared in the goalkeeper position and Guardiola told him to get his ass out and play defense, Guardiola would even make him take off his clothes and gloves and quickly move up the position.

So no one said anything about Zhao Gang appearing in this position.

Fernandinho, who lost his partner, didn't say anything. How dare anyone else speak up?

As Fernandinho played, his defensive midfield partner disappeared, and he diligently worked as a single defensive midfielder without complaint. Who else would dare to question him?

Seeing Zhao Gang appear, Pogba was stunned for a moment.
