Mendes looked at Zhao Gang celebrating with his teammates, recalling Zhao Gang's performance just now, and felt a little regret.

How could he not have discovered such a talented player?

Now it is impossible to snatch Zhao Gang over.

Perin is quite likeable, and has no enemies in the football circle.

There is even less likely to be a rift with Zhao Gang.

"You have really found a very, very powerful player with limitless potential. I'm just here to talk to you about him in a personal capacity.

If you need any help, just ask. My influence in the media is still quite good." Mendes was uncharacteristically humble. He was the best at using the media among all agents.

Almost all of his players have benefited from the media traffic. Compared to other agents, this is his forte.

Subtly, he lets the public know what he wants them to know.

Perin knew what Mendes was referring to. Some Italian media, under Gramana's instigation, had already started spreading some unfavorable gossip about Zhao Gang.

The reason Karin came to England was partly for the Golden Boy Award interview, and partly to verify those rumors, such as someone photographing Zhao Gang appearing in a special orientation bar...

Gramana was quite annoyed by Zhao Gang's rejection and used some energy to give Zhao Gang a hard time.

But Perin didn't care too much. He believed that with Zhao Gang's character, he wouldn't do anything out of line.

On the field, the Celtic players were in the wrong state.

Now they are not thinking about how to score goals, not even a decent attack.

They just want to defend and not lose too badly.

So for the next ten minutes, they didn't give Zhao Gang any chances.

It's not easy for any team to score against a team that doesn't want to attack, only thinks about midfield tackles, and kicks the ball long after the defenders get it, without preparing to organize an attack.

Bang!

Bang!

Silva's sudden long shot from the outside hit the opponent's defender, and was immediately cleared with a single kick to the edge of the penalty area. The Celtic players kicked it without thinking, not giving the Man City players a chance to counter-attack, nor looking for teammates, just kicking it into Man City's half first.

If their own striker happened to grab the ball and launch a counter-attack, that would be a pleasant surprise.

Bravo was already standing near the center line. He stepped on the ball, observing his teammates' positions. The Celtic players were not prepared to press.

"Celtic, only twenty-six minutes in, are they already ready to give up? All the players have returned to their own half. Zhao Gang's previous breakthrough left a considerable shadow on them, and now their positioning is extremely dense."

Man City is basically impossible to launch a counter-attack, and can only enter a very difficult positional battle.

And after Zhao Gang and De Bruyne tried several breakthroughs and crosses, their routes were blocked by dense legs.

It is difficult for Man City players in the penalty area to form shooting opportunities.

Although there were several very threatening shots, the score was not changed in the entire first half.

The two teams entered the locker room.

The Man City players were quite relaxed. Two consecutive wins in the Champions League were within sight.

The Celtic players were a little heavy. They were beaten 4-0 by Real Madrid in the first game, and now they are going to be massacred at Man City's home!

They can lose, but not like this.

Although they were mentally prepared, it was still difficult to face this tragic reality.

Man City's attack has not stopped, and the second half will be even more difficult.

Man City may relax in the league when the victory is already determined.

But they still maintain an extremely eager hunger in the Champions League, especially when their opponent is a Scottish team, they will not show any mercy.

...

In the Man City locker room, Guardiola was quite satisfied with the performance of all the players.

"A very perfect first half, all of you performed very well. I saw the desire to win in your eyes!

Especially you, Zhao!" Guardiola rarely praises individual players during halftime.

He worried that this would affect the players' state in the second half.

But he felt that Zhao Gang's state was not quite right, maybe because Zhao Gang had been sitting on the bench in the previous game against Crystal Palace, and was a little unhappy.

This guy didn't care about his physical strength when he came on the field, and frantically counter-attacked, broke through, and shot.

Guardiola wanted the players to be full of energy, but didn't want his players to vent their emotions.

"Your performance has been very, very wonderful.

I need you to always show your desire for victory, but you must remember to reasonably distribute your physical energy.

Facing Celtic is completely different from facing Real Madrid and Barcelona!

We will go very, very far, and I need you to have the opportunity and ability to kill the game at any moment!"

Zhao Gang nodded, okay, understood.

I'm listening to you.

The second half begins with Celtic kicking off.

In the cheers of the fans at the Etihad Stadium, Celtic had just kicked off when Fernandinho successfully intercepted the ball again.

After receiving the ball, De Bruyne sprinted a few steps, flashed into position, and found that Zhao Gang had appeared in the middle again.

David Silva's position was still behind, while Aguero was in front, caught in an encirclement.

De Bruyne passed the ball, which appeared extremely accurately on Zhao Gang's path.

The Celtic players quickly organized their defense, retreating while paying attention to Zhao Gang's passing route.

Zhao Gang, who had already entered the danger zone, raised his leg, and the ball was directly scooped up and flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

Celtic made a mistake of not concentrating on defense again at the beginning of the second half. No one interfered with Zhao Gang, allowing him to kick the ball calmly!

They took it for granted that Zhao Gang would look for his teammates, but Zhao Gang directly took another long shot from nearly thirty meters away from the goal!

The Celtic players turned their heads and stood there blankly, and the goalkeeper had already fallen heavily to the ground.

Guardiola covered his head, dumbfounded.

The fans at the scene were still cheering for their players!

The sudden kick made them momentarily confused.

Then there was fierce applause and cheers.

What did they come for?

It was to be able to send their cheers to Man City's new attacking core at home after forty days!

Zhao Gang's performance was impeccable!

Worthy of the most sincere and enthusiastic shouts from all of them!

"Celtic, what are they doing? Zhao Gang scored a long shot at the beginning of the second half. He has an extremely long range. Why, why didn't anyone go up to mark him!

Giving him such a calm chance to kick from that distance!

Celtic's defense really has a big problem!

This is the second time!"

Celtic's coach stood on the sidelines with a deep face.

What are these players doing?

Why is there such a low-level defensive error?

Let him calmly shoot from that distance?

"Hat trick, Man City's youngest hat trick record in history!

Perfect long shot!

Perfect Zhao!

Perfect Man City!

It's really hard to describe Zhao's performance in words. He should be Man City's most perfect signing!

Seventy million pounds, which is simply a bargain price for Zhao's performance!

God, this age, this performance..." Man City's commentator really didn't know how to praise Zhao Gang.

After scoring a goal, Zhao Gang on the field was no longer as low-key as before.

He likes to hear the fans' shouts, and he is more willing to celebrate goals and share the joy of victory with the fans!

Zhao Gang pointed to the jersey number behind him. This celebration action appeared a long time ago, but it was only after the game against Manchester United that it became more well-known and became his signature celebration action.

Neville, the commentator, saw this action, and the original praise for Zhao Gang suddenly collapsed.

This action is a rather embarrassing memory for him.

After Zhao Gang scored against Manchester United, this action not only became Zhao Gang's celebration action, but in the last round of Manchester United's away challenge to Norwich, after Xiluo scored, Norwich's frontcourt attacker and a large number of fans at the scene actually stood up and pointed to the jersey number behind them...

This is not just a celebration, but also a kind of ridicule of Manchester United.

It is conceivable that for a considerable period of time in the future, someone will imitate Zhao Gang's celebration action after scoring against Manchester United.

Number eighteen.

Zhao Gang.

Manchester United's nightmare.

Will eventually become a legend in the Premier League and a legend in world football!

When the fans saw this celebration action, the entire stadium was like an earthquake.

Mountain shouts and tsunami-like shouts rushed out from all corners.

Full of blood and emotions vented out.

Five league games, two Champions League games.

This boy from Dragon Country has completely conquered the Etihad Stadium.

"Zhao Gang, it's Zhao Gang again!" He, the poet, just looked at De Bruyne's passing route and Zhao Gang's running posture, and his heart tightened!

I feel that this time, Zhao Gang is going to shoot, he is going to score!

What you think is what you get!

"Zhao Gang has shown this kind of super long-range shooting more than once. His strength and his footwork are really world-class!

This kick is again countless records! The records of Dragon Country players are no longer meaningful to him!

This is the first hat trick of Asian players!

In the Champions League, Asian players are always supporting roles, and European and South American players dominate the Champions League!

Now, the appearance of Zhao Gang lets the whole world know that Asian players can also do it!

Yes, now Zhao Gang, after two rounds of the group stage, no, it's not over yet, he is already far ahead in the Champions League scorer list!

C Ronaldo two goals, Messi one goal!

In this season's Champions League, Zhao Gang is constantly creating records that belong to Dragon Country and Asia, and may also create records that belong to the entire football world!"

"God!" He, the poet, was so excited.

A professional commentator is so excited, what is the psychological state of those fans who stay up late to watch the game, and even many people don't understand the rules of football at all, but simply support Zhao Gang?

The hat trick is finally here!

Facing Borussia Monchengladbach, it was a little short, just a little bit.

Facing Celtic, this record finally appeared!

And it came so fast, there are still more than forty minutes, it seems that there will be more crazy and more exaggerated records born!

Will it be the youngest Champions League player with four goals?

This time point is full of expectations!

"Damn it, score another one, and it will be perfect!"

"De Bruyne, Silva, Aguero, hurry up, hurry! Don't shoot at the empty goal, pass it to Zhao Gang!"

"Celtic, don't defend, it's all like this, the defenders pass it back to Zhao Gang! Hurry, hurry!"
