Ho~~

As an uplifting shout echoed from the stadium's speakers, fans in the stands on all sides rose almost simultaneously, stretching their arms overhead.

Boom~ Boom~

The unified stomping threatened to collapse the stands.

Each thud struck the chest like a drum, raising goosebumps.

Zhao Gang stood on the edge of the field, his expression solemn, gazing out at the sea of blue devotion.

After that stirring roar, the scene took a sudden turn.

All the fans slapped their foreheads with their right hands.

Pa~ Pa~

A bizarre smacking sound echoed throughout the Etihad Stadium.

The previously magnificent scene became somewhat comical.

"That's it!!!" Aguero, watching the live broadcast at home, leaped off the sofa.

Zhao Gang, standing there deeply moved, shook his head with a helpless smile.

Ho~

Whoosh!

The fans in the stands erupted in a tremendous roar, jumping and cheering wildly.

A celebration after completing a solemn ritual.

"Zhao!!"

"Zhao!!"

"Super Zhao!"

The sound came from all directions, engulfing the entire stadium.

Zhao Gang raised both hands above his head, clapping lightly, then waved to the audience.

The fans facing him, receiving his greeting, immediately jumped, cheered, and smacked their heads.

Zhao Gang shook his head, his smile particularly helpless.

At this moment, it wasn't just Zhao Gang scoring and Manchester City taking the lead.

It was a festival for the fans.

The gesture had originally been used by Aguero to mock Zhao Gang's poor heading skills, which he claimed were inferior to his own at the age of six.

Now, it had become a unique celebration for Manchester City fans.

When Zhao Gang scored with a header, they spontaneously performed the celebration they once did under Aguero's leadership, following the stadium announcer's cue.

At this moment, Manchester City fans were happy, connected to Zhao Gang through their unified celebration.

It was unique to them, a one-of-a-kind joy and pride belonging to Manchester City fans.

"This celebration is truly unique… we can also see Zhao Gang's smile, initially quite shy and helpless, but now… he's beaming. It seems he's accepted this strange behavior from the fans.

He really rarely shows this kind of smile."

"Yes, I don't think I've ever seen it before. When he scored during the World Cup qualifiers, he was very excited and thrilled, as if a huge burden had been lifted, but there's never been a smile like this. This is the true joy of football!

Manchester City fans have really learned Guardiola's essence; they know how to liven things up!"

Seeing the goal, excited Dragon Country fans watched the densely packed Etihad Stadium fans spontaneously perform the goal celebration they had prepared for Zhao Gang.

They were filled with emotion.

"This atmosphere is really incomparable!"

"Football is their life and faith, of course, it's incomparable. Just be envious."

"We definitely want to do that too, but I work 12 hours a day, where do I have the energy to go to the stadium to watch the game? Watching the live broadcast is good enough…"

"Zhao Gang has really become the darling of Manchester City fans."

"He's their totem! How can you have tens of thousands of people doing this together! Even a darling can't achieve that."

…

"Let's take another look at this goal!" The TV broadcast replayed the goal, and Teacher Zhan was also deeply moved by the scene just now.

Even though England has a very strong football culture, these kinds of scenes, a celebration specifically prepared for a single player, are still rare.

Zhao Gang has become a true role model in the hearts of Manchester City fans.

"A true Mount Tai pressuring down from above!

He and Ali jumped almost simultaneously, and they're about the same height, but when Zhao Gang headed the ball, he was already a head taller than Ali.

He completely used his jumping height and speed to win the ball!

Before, many people were worried that it was a fool's errand for Zhao Gang to try and win headers, after all, his previous heading performance was… unspeakable.

Now, it seems that all the worries were unnecessary.

Groundless fears.

Zhao Gang's heading ability has improved very quickly.

He can definitely completely take on the center forward position. He tried playing as a lone striker in Guardiola's lineup before, but he mostly used his running, support, and nose for goal.

Now, he can also attack the ball like a target man!

He has extremely outstanding physical qualities and strength, hopefully this header… wasn't a fluke…"

"Congratulations to Manchester City for scoring the first goal at home. Tottenham should think about how to attack. Their midfield and forward players are a bit disjointed in this game!"

"This header is earth-shattering! Zhao Gang seems to be the least skilled at heading, right?"

"It was a weakness; he's only scored one before. I remember he couldn't even get his head on the ball before; it was like his head wasn't even attached to his body."

"He physically overpowered that interception monster! If Alderweireld hadn't fouled him in advance, he probably would have scored on a one-on-one. Tottenham avoided the first day, but not the fifteenth!

How did Dragon Country produce such a monstrous player? Tottenham lost to him last game, and now, they're going to be finished again!"

"Dragon Country football is lucky to have Zhao Gang, but it's also unfortunate, we only have one Zhao Gang!

Awesome, awesome!!"

The Dragon Country fans shouted awesome, while the Tottenham fans exploded.

"I said this kid is fierce, we had to defend him, how did we let Ali defend him? What level of coach is Pochettino? He's not as good as me!"

"Sigh, I was worried, looking at the way he was breaking through, I felt like we were done for. He got a yellow card and stopped him, but I didn't expect him to be able to head the ball."

"This guy used to be terrible at heading…"

"With this kind of physique, isn't it easy to develop heading skills? It's a shame this guy was delayed in Dragon Country. If he had been in England since he was a kid, he would be a monster now!"

"This guy is turning all the Premier League teams into dogs; no one in the entire Premier League can beat him, only Leicester City's defense limited him a bit.

Pochettino still dared to say he could win, saying that Manchester City's lineup wasn't very well integrated, and there was a good chance.

Look at this guy, does he need to integrate? Pass the ball, head it, and that's it."

Those Manchester City fans were enjoying the show.

"Pochettino, he's still hyping up Ali, saying he's the best in the world, and Ali himself believes it, hehehe…

His strength isn't good, his dribbling isn't as good, and he can't win headers, this teacher and student are so shameless…"

"What else can Pochettino say? He definitely knows Ali can't beat Zhao, but he can't say Zhao is invincible either. He'll change his tune when he leaves Tottenham."

"Ali has definitely gotten cocky. He's improved a lot this season. I heard Real Madrid is already interested in him. It's normal to be arrogant. At this age, with this kind of attention, and still remaining humble and low-key, Zhao might be the only one in the entire Premier League.

Manchester City is really lucky to have signed him!"

At the same time, there were also a significant number of Norwich fans.

The last time Zhao Gang won the Ballon d'Or, they ran from Norwich County to Manchester City's training base to celebrate, and ended up fighting with Manchester City fans and getting arrested together. This shows how obsessed these fans are with Zhao Gang.

In the end, Zhao Gang found out and made a special trip to the police station to bail them out.

These fans have more affection for Zhao Gang than most Manchester City fans.

They have always regarded Zhao Gang as a Norwich legend. Norwich, for Zhao Gang, should be like his hometown.

They won't allow anyone to slander or insult Zhao Gang, whether online or in real life.

You can insult Manchester City, but not Zhao Gang.

Many famous players have been cyberbullied by fans because of this.

The ringleaders are basically these Norwich fans.

They have inherited the tradition of English hooligan fans.

These fans almost always watch Manchester City's games on TV.

They have one big dream: that Zhao Gang can return to Norwich before he retires, to where the legend began.

That would be such a dreamy and wonderful ending.

It would be the starting point, and the end point.
