"Ooh-yo!! Rabona!!"

"Beautiful!!"

The two commentators simultaneously raised their voices by eight octaves. In conjunction with this brilliant shot, they instantly energized the fans watching the game. In the late hours of the night in Dragon Country, countless fans shivered with excitement.

Sommer, who was fully focused, never imagined that the ball would take such a route.

Watching the ball enter the net, he helplessly lowered his head and put his hands on his hips.

In the away stands, Borussia Mönchengladbach's fans sat powerlessly in their seats, holding the back of their heads with both hands.

This was the solution to limiting Zhao Gang that the Borussia Mönchengladbach coach had spoken of. This was what Sommer had confidently declared: that apart from penalties, Zhao Gang would definitely not score again.

The media had hyped it up, believing that Borussia Mönchengladbach, who had defeated Bayern Munich away from home, would definitely cause trouble for a tired Manchester City, and even had a high probability of defeating them.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Only after playing did they realize that it wasn't just that Manchester City had scored two goals. Borussia Mönchengladbach had been playing to Manchester City's rhythm for the entire first half. The midfield was completely suppressed, and the ball simply couldn't cross the halfway line, leaving them with no choice but to kick long balls from the backfield.

The fast break that they relied on to survive simply couldn't be executed.

They watched Zhao Gang turn around, open his arms, and welcome his teammates, welcoming the adoration of the fans.

A strong sense of powerlessness rose in their hearts.

Even a tired Manchester City, even a Manchester City with a slow attacking rhythm, was still impossible for them to contend with.

This guy had a burst of energy at the start, scoring a goal, and then became slow and listless, as if he was really about to collapse.

But then, in a flash of inspiration, he routed Borussia Mönchengladbach's defense.

"Zhao Gang had a very beautiful rabona in a previous match, but that time, he faced very little defensive pressure and could calmly take the shot. This time, it was truly a flash of lightning. Any slower and it would have been disrupted! Borussia Mönchengladbach's defense had already done its best, closing the door, interfering, and disrupting.

Zhao Gang was able to squeeze through the cracks and, incredibly, hit an angle that Sommer simply didn't anticipate. His shooting skills and his ability to seize opportunities..."

"That wasn't even an opportunity. From an ordinary person's point of view, his best chance at the time was to simply push the ball out with his left foot. It was such a small range, and it was very likely to be intercepted, but that really was the limit of how an ordinary player could handle the ball! But a star is a star, a core is a core!"

"If he were really an ordinary player, he wouldn't have had the chance to squeeze into the penalty area between two people, right?"

"That's right, that's definitely the case, haha..."

Commentators from various countries kept replaying this ball-handling method that had astonished them. In such a sandwich, he could still be so calm and elegant.

"This guy... I think sometimes he chooses to shoot from distance not because he's good at it, but because he doesn't want to bother entering the penalty area.

He's squeezed into the penalty area from the cracks outside the box more than once. If I remember correctly, in the last league match, he also rushed in between the closing defenders and provided a key assist!

This kind of breakthrough ability, ball control, the balance of both feet... a monster..."

Even when blocked and off-balance, he could still pass the ball out, or even shoot directly.

"Keep going, keep going!!"

"Zhao!! Add another one, add two more!!"

Two more goals and Zhao Gang would tie the single-season Champions League goal record, 17 goals.

If he could complete his pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo in the group stage, it would be an exciting and happy record for Manchester City fans, and a terrifying one for all other Champions League teams.

"Two more!!"

"Two more!!!"

Manchester City fans shouted themselves hoarse.

Guardiola stared at Zhao Gang, his eyes full of light, as if he saw the true future of Manchester City's rise.

Manchester City was habitually dropping the ball in the Champions League, but now they have created the best start to the Champions League group stage.

Within two years, with Zhao Gang as the core, spending money, spending money non-stop, buying people, buying people with all their might, they could definitely build another cosmic team.

"Manchester City is already leading by two goals. If they win this game, they will lock in the top spot in the group, basically confirming their qualification along with Real Madrid. If that's the case...

There's basically no way Zhao can score two goals in the second half to complete the feat of 17 Champions League goals in the group stage. The last game against Celtic should be the best opportunity, but I estimate Zhao won't have the chance to play." Henry felt it was a bit of a pity. Zhao Gang's performance in the Champions League was completely different from the league. He had transformed into a true goal-scoring machine, breaking all kinds of records along the way.

But if things continue to develop like this, Guardiola probably won't let the main players play in the next round against Celtic. Guardiola never cares about the players' various records. What he wants is results, honor, championships, and the physical condition of the players.

Now, he regards Zhao Gang as a treasure, and will even rotate him in the league, let alone a Champions League group stage match that is no longer important?

"What's going on?" Henry's eyes lit up. After the replay of the goal, the scene switched back to the field, and the two teams were fighting!!

The two teams' players pushed each other, pointing at each other and saying harsh words.

Boos rang out from the stands, and some fans, not wanting to miss the excitement, shouted loudly, "Kill Borussia Mönchengladbach."

"Kill him! Aguero, go!"

"Otamendi, you're the toughest, go!!"

"Everyone, charge!!"

Borussia Mönchengladbach's players were obviously in the wrong state. They had come full of confidence, brought out the tactics they used to play against Bayern, but were being led by the nose, conceding two goals in the first half, and weren't much stronger than in the first leg.

They had anger in their hearts, and they had to vent it.

Manchester City's players were not pushovers either. Argentine players, whatever else, fighting was a compulsory course. This was a small scene.

Zabaleta, Otamendi, and Aguero rushed up in a flash.

Fernandinho was also a South American player. South American football has always been like this, with fights and disputes often occurring. He also charged over.

The remaining Manchester City players were desperately trying to pull them apart. De Bruyne was still being practical, picking the biggest one, Fernandinho, and using all his strength.

Zhao Gang saw that the assistant referee had arrived, and quickly went over, running behind Aguero, who was charging the most fiercely. He used his hands to lift Aguero up and turn him halfway around, putting him behind him.

Aguero was in the middle of a fierce argument when he suddenly felt himself flying.

Huh? Huh? Aguero turned his head in confusion.

"The referee is here, the referee is here."

The referee stood between the two teams' players and pulled out yellow cards, punishing both sides equally.

This was Manchester City's home ground, and the fans were booing wildly, even cursing the Borussia Mönchengladbach players.

Aguero was still a little confused, somewhat disbelieving that Zhao Gang had turned him halfway around and put him behind him like he was holding a child.

"This..." He Shiren looked at the replay and almost laughed out loud when he saw Aguero's confused expression. Others pulled people apart by dragging, tugging, and blocking, but Zhao Gang directly picked up the fierce Aguero and put him behind him. It was indeed a bit funny.

When the referee stood between the two teams' players, the farce was over.

Aguero was at the front, and Manchester City's teammates had been blocked by the referee. If Zhao Gang hadn't pulled him back, he might have suffered a big loss.

Aguero and Zhao Gang covered their mouths and exchanged a few words. Although the camera showed it, it was impossible to know what they said.

"Am I fierce?"

"You have to be."

"If you hadn't stopped me, I would have punched them all!"

"A bunch of trash."

"Who are we?"

"Argentine boxing king."

"Never lost a fight, invincible!"

"That's right."

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

This little episode didn't have much of an impact on Manchester City's players, but it did have some impact on Borussia Mönchengladbach. They had lost two goals, and their mentality had changed a bit. They were also being cursed by the fans, and were under a lot of pressure.

Five minutes into the second half, Borussia Mönchengladbach's players fouled Zhao Gang again.

Zhao Gang got up and sprinted, scaring Borussia Mönchengladbach's players. They thought he was going to start a fight, but Gündoğan quickly set the ball down and quickly passed the ball to Sterling.

Borussia Mönchengladbach's players reacted and quickly surrounded Sterling.

Sterling tried to break through on the edge of the penalty area, but failed, and had to pass the ball back to Zabaleta.

Zabaleta passed the ball without stopping to Zhao Gang in the middle.

Zhao Gang accelerated. This time, Borussia Mönchengladbach's players closed the door much faster. Facing two defenders, and with other players ready to assist at any time, it was impossible for him to break through head-on.

In the process of shifting his center of gravity, Zhao Gang still attracted the players on the right, and then he made a ground pass. De Bruyne, who had already started, got the ball, accelerated to get rid of his marker, and found a chance to cross.

De Bruyne rarely crosses from the byline. This is determined by Manchester City's characteristics. They don't have an advantage in the middle.

But that doesn't mean he can't do it.

De Bruyne, who had opened up space, swept the ball into the middle.

Aguero had no chance to grab the point under the interference of the two center-backs. Sommer watched the ball fly past him. He quickly turned around to face the side.

It was a half-high ball, and the ball speed was quite fast. No one in the middle intercepted it.

And Sterling at the far post arrived in time.

Bang!!

Facing the flying football, Sterling bent over and headed it.

The ball had speed, and the distance was quite close. Even Sommer didn't have time to react. He just subconsciously raised his leg to expand the defensive area.

The football slammed into the goal, and Sommer sat directly on the ground, his eyes empty.

3:0!

Borussia Mönchengladbach was completely finished at the Etihad.

Their Champions League journey was also basically over.

Borussia Mönchengladbach's defenders put their hands on their hips, full of helplessness.

Manchester City's rhythm changed too quickly.

Dozing off, and then suddenly waking up, full of energy.

As the offensive metronome, Zhao Gang controlled the offensive rhythm on the field. Most of the time, he distributed the ball, and he could always find the most suitable opportunity.

A breakthrough could reveal a loophole.

De Bruyne and Aguero's movements disrupted the defensive players, and Sterling almost headed into an empty goal.

"Manchester City suddenly accelerated their attack, from Gündoğan's quick free kick to the two full-backs quickly inserting to attract the defense, Sterling's breakthrough and pass back after receiving the ball, Borussia Mönchengladbach's formation was pulled a bit scattered, Zhao Gang's breakthrough and movement in the middle, Borussia Mönchengladbach's defense was a bit unable to hold on. They restricted Aguero, but De Bruyne was completely open. De Bruyne's cross after receiving the ball, the players in Borussia Mönchengladbach's penalty area were completely messed up, all rushing towards Aguero and Zhao Gang, who had moved into the penalty area. Sterling at the far post was completely unmarked. If he couldn't score this goal, he might lose Guardiola's trust!"

"The Borussia Mönchengladbach that had just defeated Bayern seemed to be completely lost at the Etihad. Their defense was torn apart by Manchester City. And the players' condition also seemed to be a bit wrong. They lacked the aggressiveness they had at the start.

This game is probably without suspense. Perhaps more people care about whether Zhao Gang can score another goal, or even two!

But it's difficult. Guardiola probably won't give Zhao Gang another chance to score..."

He Shiren's words were verified. Just after the game reached sixty minutes, Zhao Gang and Aguero were substituted.

Only Sterling and De Bruyne, who were in very good physical condition, were left.

Although many viewers wanted to see Zhao Gang continue to score, this time when Zhao Gang was substituted, the fans did not boo Guardiola.

They stood up and applauded Zhao Gang and Aguero.

In the following game, Manchester City's attack slowed down again, and Borussia Mönchengladbach had more attacking opportunities.

Compared to Zhao Gang, Delph's control ability was obviously much worse. Borussia Mönchengladbach's attack became colorful, but it was too late.

They finally scored a consolation goal in the 86th minute of the match.

"In this way, Manchester City has locked in the top spot in the group, and after Real Madrid defeated Celtic, they have also locked in the second spot in the group. The last round of matches will have no impact on the group stage qualification. Guardiola and Manchester City can temporarily focus all their attention on the league!

The next league match will be the focus of the Premier League, and may be the most difficult match Manchester City will encounter this season!

They will visit the King Power Stadium to challenge this season's biggest dark horse in the Premier League, Leicester City!

After that, Manchester City will face a challenge from Chelsea. There will also be a League Cup match in the middle of the week. After playing against Chelsea, they will have to go to Scotland to complete the last round of the Champions League group stage, and then continue to fight in the Premier League without stopping. This will be another very tricky and dense schedule, with consecutive midweek matches. If Manchester City has any problems during this period, they may be overtaken by Leicester City!

We'll wait and see!"

Guardiola was indeed already thinking about the next league match. That match was more important than the one against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Leicester City is a team with a balanced attack and defense, and with everyone united, they have been merciless against Chelsea and Manchester United, cleanly solving the two giants.

It seems that only Leicester City can stop Manchester City's progress in the current Premier League.

This is completely a civilian team. In the season before last, they were still a Championship team. Last season, they were ranked fourteenth in the Premier League, and were even mired in the relegation zone for a period of time. As a result, this season, they have won consecutive victories and are incredibly closely following Manchester City.
