Chapter 29 April 29th

The twenty-ninth round of the English Premier League.

Manchester City is at home against Leicester City.

It is also the last game before the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona.

The atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium was a little different on this day.

The stands were still packed with people, flags flying.

But unlike the usual blue ocean, among those flying blue flags, there were bright red banners waving.

In England in the past, some Dragon Country people would show red flags to support, but this kind of red flag, in the English stadium, only Norwich's Carrow Road stadium, had local fans waving it.

It was the first time that such a strange scene appeared at Manchester City's Etihad.

And in that blue ocean, there were even fans wearing Zhao Gang's national team jersey.

When Zhao Gang walked out of the player tunnel, even though he had already seen some fans waving bright flags outside the stadium, he couldn't help but be moved when he looked at the familiar banners waving in the stands again.

When the dj's powerful introduction sounded, Zhao Gang couldn't help but raise his hands.

Instantly, the entire Etihad Stadium erupted in thunderous applause like a tide.

The cheering seemed to overturn the entire stadium.

Aguero grinned, clapping desperately.

Guardiola, who has always advocated that football has nothing to do with politics and sports has nothing to do with the country, stood on the sidelines, nodding and clapping.

As the purest footballer, he will always be firm in his position.

During the Barcelona period, he insisted on his choice and would never take sides because of some things in the Catalonia region.

In the great changes that took place a few years later, he still sticks to his original intention.

Zhao Gang stood there, feeling the enthusiasm and support of these fans.

The hurdle in his heart was finally over.

In this world, there are those who love and those who hate.

Make those who love you happier and more joyful, and make those who hate you miserable, wishing they could eat your flesh and drink your blood.

This is the most enjoyable thing.

Under the flying flags, there was a huge banner carefully prepared by the fans for Zhao Gang, with not only English but also characters that Zhao Gang was more familiar with.

"We will always support you!"

"Number 18, Legend, Salute!"

Zhao Gang waved to all the fans, he didn't know what to say.

Ao Li raised her hands high in the stands, jumping non-stop, and shouting loudly with those brave and upright fans.

Tears had already fallen.

"This...is touching...this is destined to be a wonderful, magical, and touching night..." Teacher Zhan stared at the screen and insisted on saying a line.

His voice couldn't help trembling, and he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

"Manchester City fans are really good at it!!"

"Hey...comparing people is really frustrating!"

"It's touching, Manchester City fans used to sing Sun Jihai's song, now these fans are even more enthusiastic..."

"Blue ocean, a bright red! This kind of support is really admirable!"

……

When the two teams were ready, Leicester City's players did not have high expectations for this game.

In this kind of scene, it is estimated that Manchester City's players will kick desperately, and losing two goals is considered a blessing.

And the momentum of these fans is too great, which makes Leicester City's players feel a little uncomfortable.

When the referee Madeley blew the whistle to start the game, it was the moment when Manchester City launched a decisive battle.

In this game, Guardiola did not send out all the main players, and the next key Champions League battle with Barcelona is the top priority.

But even if it is not all the main players, Sane and Kyle Walker, the two main players who cannot participate in the Champions League, are still on the field.

Coupled with Zhao Gang, Sterling, Aguero, and Kompany, it is almost as good as the main lineup, or even stronger.

Iheanacho, who came off the bench, had a very strong desire to perform, and in the eighth minute of the game, he received a pass from Aguero, who retreated, and directly pierced Leicester City's goal.

Manchester City took a 1-0 lead at home!

Leicester City, which has no desires, cannot win the championship, and cannot fall out of the top four, has been greatly reduced in combat effectiveness in this game due to the lack of Kanté and Mahrez.

It is no longer the miracle team that was able to play back and forth with Manchester City in the first round.

In this goal, Zhao Gang's continuous dribbling in the middle attracted three players to double-team, and Aguero, who had retreated to the midfield, received the ball and did not break through all the way, but suddenly passed the ball to Iheanacho.

This unconventional pass did catch Leicester City's players a little off guard.

They all thought he was going to break through, but they didn't expect him to pass the ball!

Iheanacho excitedly slid and kneeled out of the field. He had too little playing time this season.

After Aguero was injured, Jesus seamlessly connected, and Iheanacho was basically a substitute for the substitute.

He finally got the start in this game, and he scored a goal in the start, how could he not be excited?

Leicester City's players began to stabilize their defense, but under the shouts and deterrence of tens of thousands of Manchester City fans, they frequently made mistakes in Manchester City's pressing.

Manchester City's players were all high-spirited and did not intend to hold back after winning the championship in advance, especially Sane and Kyle Walker, who had nowhere to use their strength. They could not play in the Champions League, so they could only perform crazily in the league.

In the eleventh minute of the game, Kyle Walker had already rushed to the left side of Leicester City's penalty area. After cooperating with Sane, he rushed into the penalty area alone!

A full-back, doesn't cross, he bravely rushed in!

Then a powerful shot hit the goalpost, and Sterling, who arrived in time, directly shoveled the shot into the goal!

Leicester City's collapse came faster than expected.

In the eighteenth minute of the game, Zhao Gang took the ball outside the penalty area and then suddenly shot from a distance, directly piercing Leicester City's goal!

This kind of highly concealed and powerful outside instep shot, once it suppresses the ball and hits the target, is very difficult for the goalkeeper to save.

When Zhao Gang scored, the fans in the stands shouted his name with all their strength.

The entire stand was caught in it.

No one can compare to Zhao Gang's current status in the hearts of these Manchester City fans.

"Zhao Gang's shot! Eighteen minutes, Manchester City are already leading 3-0! Leicester City collapsed too quickly...

Oh? We received another message... This is a picture from Carrow Road Stadium... Norwich's home... Oh my god!"

"Eighteenth minute of the game!!! Carrow Road Stadium! This is a tradition belonging to Norwich fans... Which year's tradition? It is a tradition that started this year!

If fans who follow Norwich games should know that in their home game, when the game reaches the eighteenth minute, the fans on the scene will stand up and applaud to commemorate and respect Norwich's number 18 player!

This time, their ceremony is more direct, grand, and crazy!"
