50, debut is the peak

"Wall breaks the ball and sends a long pass to the frontcourt."

'Arsenal counter-attacked, Walcoat broke down the side with the ball.'

"Walcoat crosses!"

"Lacazette scores! Nice quick counter-attack, Arsenal 2-0 up! ”

Martin Taylor's tone was unusually agitated, as it was the first time this season that City had conceded two goals in a row without scoring in the first half.

Manchester City, who have been smooth sailing this season, are unbeaten in all competitions, and have won eight consecutive league games, which is a great momentum to hit the league winning streak.

Before the game, Arsenal, who were not favored, lost more than many wins and won many games with Premier League powerhouses over the years, especially the dismal away record, no one could have guessed that the Gunners could be the main opponent at the Etihad Stadium, leading by two goals in the first half, without conceding a goal, and it is likely to end Manchester City's unbeaten body this season.

"Debut is the pinnacle." Taylor expressed his opinion on Tan Xibi in this scene word by word.

Some people are born great, some become great, and some people never return greatness.

The peak of debut refers to the fact that after entering the first team, he quickly occupies the main position, and is widely praised and concerned.

Aside from the legends of antiquity and antiquity, 17-year-old Brazilian ace Pele is the youngest World Cup winner, Diego Maradona, John Cruyff, Eusebio, Franz Beckenbauer...... Which one doesn't shine at a young age?

Since the 90s of the last century, there has been no shortage of stars who have debuted at their peak.

Ronaldo, who won the World Footballer of the Year at 20, has just entered the first team and is the main force, playing for the four giants such as La Liga and Milan, and the alien is already full of honor before the age of 28.

The ageless goalkeeper Gian Luigi Buffon, in the position of the goalkeeper who needs the most seniority in Serie A, made his debut in Serie A at the age of 17, and scored a clean sheet on his debut against the powerful defending champion AC Milan. Along the way, he still maintained his peak form, and the teenager Buffon's peak period simply continued throughout his professional football career.

Michael Owen played in the Premier League at the age of 17 and won the Premier League Golden Boot at the age of 18, becoming the youngest Golden Boot winner in Premier League history. At the age of 22, he won the European Ballon d'Or, although the cause of the injury was not as brave as before, but the England golden boy was already a winner in life.

England also had another golden boy, with Wayne Rooney becoming the youngest Premier League player and goalscorer at one point at the age of 16. After transferring to Manchester United, he was directly the main force, 13 years of Red Devils career, Lu Xiaopang created a number of records, Manchester United team history top scorer, Premier League history for a single team to score the most goals, Premier League away scorer king, Manchester United team history European goal king, derby goal king, club honor slam, etc.

By the way, he is still the top scorer of the Three Lions and the record holder for national team appearances.

Perhaps it is the training methods of this era that are becoming more and more scientific, and the diet is becoming more and more healthy, resulting in children becoming more and more precocious, and in recent years, more and more young talents have not only gained a firm foothold in the first team with outstanding talent, beyond the strength of the elderly, but also set a sky-high record for transfer giants, and can still play the main force.

The debut of the new era is the pinnacle, and its representatives include Gian Luigi Donnarumma, who is known as Buffon's successor and the guardian of the Blue Coats for the next two decades; Euro 2016 shines, becoming one of the youngest European champions, winning the European Golden Boy Award that year and moving to Bundesliga hegemons Bayern Munich for Renato Sanchez; In the second half of last season, he made a splash in the Champions League and the league, and this season's loan loan to Ligue 1 hegemon Paris Saint-Germain is still making trouble in the league and the Champions League, and is a candidate for the European Ballon d'Or, and the talented French striker Kylian Mbappe, who won this year's European Golden Boy Award; Ousmane Dembele, who excelled at Borussia Dortmund last season and moved to Barcelona for a whopping €105 million this summer, and younger Borussia Dortmund winger Christian Pulisic are rumoured to be worth no less than Dembele at Barcelona......

Such a concentrated talent blowout phenomenon is difficult to explain with science, although it is said that there are still very few talents under the age of 20 who come out of the giants, but in other strong teams and small national leagues, more and more young talents play in the first team, and the more precocious they will appear, there will be more peerless talents who debut at the peak.

It's just that the peak came out too early, and there are many people who are unknown and injured Zhongyong in the later stage, injuries and psychology will be their biggest enemies in the future, and whether they can maintain this peak for longer will test their final position in football.

Achieving a peerless superstar, it is not overnight, these post-95 geniuses, who can replace the aging Mero, may be known in a few years, more than ten years later, but it is certain that the last laugh is the real debut, that is, the peak.

"Thierry, Mr. Wenger has a great eye for picking up a treasure from Portugal." Jamie Redknapp envied.

Gary Neville has a hard mouth: "One game can't say anything, you can play so well in the second half, blow it again." ”

Kate Abdo doesn't speak, just silently watches the game and listens to the guests arguing, she is smart and knows her place and responsibility.

Thierry Henry smiled and didn't speak, just looked at Alain Pardu with a straight face.

He hadn't forgotten the bet he had with Pardew before the game.

The continuous attack caused the physical strength of Manchester City's players to decline quickly, and in order to avoid being conceded by Arsenal on the counter-attack again, the third goal was conceded and the game ended early, Josep Guardiola had to withdraw his troops back to the city to reorganize.

Arsenal's side is not much better, the defense is always a passive side, the physical consumption is not much better than Manchester City, there is not much time left in the first half, plus another two-goal lead, so it also died down, and the opponent tacitly entered the garbage time of the tug-of-war, waiting for the end of the first half, and then regrouping in the second half, and finally the decisive battle.

Some spectators in the stands left their seats, probably hungry, to eat some fast food, drink some drinks, or go to convenience. Most of the home team fans either hid their faces or were sad, and they obviously couldn't believe the cruel reality of the blue moon falling behind by two goals.

At the end of the first half, the 0-2 score on the electronic screen made the home team fans feel very dazzling, compared with the silence of Manchester City fans, the Arsenal fan camp in the stands was full of singing and laughing, Emma Jessica wore a jersey printed with Tan Xibi's number, and the surrounding gun fans jumped and shook their scarves and shouted, after all, at this moment, they are the winners.

Arsenal CEO Ivan Gazidis, who stayed in London, also grinned because the sales of jerseys printed with Tan Xibi's number continued to rise, and most of the orders came from China, which has a population of 1.4 billion.

If nothing else, this season, Tan Xibi's jersey sales will be the first for the club, no, the first in the Premier League, no, probably the first in the whole of Europe.

Don't forget, there are two or three billion football fans in China.
