Chapter 1253: Football Is Round
When Rong Guang, who was wearing the captain's armband, walked out first, He Ping's voice also came out of the TV: "The players from both sides have played!" Captain Rong is still at the front of the team! ”
Because it is a live commentary, his voice is not as loud and clear as the usual voice in the studio behind Beijing, and there is a sense of ethereal unreality, so that after hearing his voice, everyone can clearly feel that the place where He Ping is is indeed in Manchester City Stadium, and the distance from them TV viewers is not only a TV screen, but also a very distant geographical distance.
This feeling makes them feel like they're there.
The cheers of Manchester City fans at the Manchester City Stadium seem to have become more noticeable than ever.
The City fans in the stands also unfurled a huge banner with nothing on it, a huge golden Arabic numeral "59" on a sky-blue background.
Other than that, there is nothing else.
Of course, there is no need for impassioned words at this time.
This number alone gives an idea of the hopes and messages of Manchester City fans about their team.
Fifty-ninth game unbeaten streak!
That's what Manchester City are after!
※※※
Many people think that this will be a very tight game, because although Wigan Athletic is playing away, they will not be obediently tied up, and they will definitely make a fierce resistance.
The manager of Wigan Athletic said this before the game.
So the first 30 minutes of this game are likely to be a highly entangled stalemate between the two sides, with the game being interrupted frequently as Wigan Athletic's defensive moves can result in a lot of fouls.
If City have been unable to do anything with Wigan Athletic for the rest of the 30 minutes, then the rest of the game may be in Wigan Athletic's favour rather than Manchester City.
This is also reflected in the changes in the odds of expulsion from bookmakers in Europe, Southeast Asia, Macau and other countries, and Manchester City, which is playing at home, does not have much advantage.
But when the game started, everyone realized that the situation was completely different from what they had predicted before.
Just six minutes into the game, Manchester City played a beautiful attacking combination, Gareth Barry passed the ball to Kaka, Kaka turned and passed the football to Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic did not stop the ball but directly turned and passed the ball diagonally forward, Glory cut in from the side at high speed, received Ibrahimovic's pass, and forced a breakthrough through a Wigan Athletic defender with speed, and then hit the front of Wigan Athletic's penalty area.
Then he took a decisive shot, and the ball arced in the air, bypassing the Wigan Athletic goalkeeper's fingertips and flying into the goal!
In the sixth minute, Manchester City took the lead!
Wigan Athletic's muscular tactics that have been prepared for a long time have not come in handy at all!
Football is indeed round, but this phrase is not for Manchester City, but for Wigan Athletic......
"Oh! Oh! Glory! Glory! Rong-!! John Mortenson exclaimed excitedly. Manchester City's steady dìng, no matter what the situation, his play will not be affected! Before the game he said that rotation does not mean underestimating the enemy, and now he has proved that his words are justified! ”
"Beautiful one-time fit! The flow of the Manchester City attacking trident is like a work of art! He Ping was also very happy. In the end, Glory scored a crucial goal! Just six minutes into the game, City were in the lead. This is great news for Manchester City, and they can face Wigan Athletic in a relaxed mood! ”
The entire Manchester City Stadium was like an erupting crater, and the City fans chanted the name of glory.
It was as if they had seen a new record unfold before their eyes.
The TV broadcast cut to the faces of the Wigan Athletic players and gave them some close-ups.
The Wigan Athletic players in the camera looked a little confused and didn't seem to react yet.
They don't understand how they conceded a goal just six minutes into the game!
There's nothing wrong with our tactical arrangement...... But before we could implement our tactics, we were breached in the goal, what is that!
※※※
The glorious goal was like a trumpet, and when the trumpet sounded on the battlefield, the City players would launch a tsunami-like attack, and under such a fierce attack, few teams could resist their advancing iron horses.
In the 23rd minute, Ibrahimovic received a nanny assist from the glory of Ibrahimovic's assist, and all Ibrahimovic had to do in front of goal was to pick up his leg and kick the football, like a golf ball putt, into the close open goal......
“2:0! Ibrahimovic!! Manchester City had a two-goal lead in less than half an hour! It's so powerful! ”
"Poor Wigan Athletic...... I think it's almost impossible for them to turn the tables away from home...... Can we announce in advance that Manchester City have gone on their 59th unbeaten streak in the league? ”
"Glory was in great form today and you can't tell he's just played two international games...... After the goal, he sent the ball to the feet of Ibrahimovic through a clever break down the flank. This kick is so comfortable, not to mention for a striker of Ibrahimovic's level, I think even if I go up, I can easily break the goal, haha! He Ping's love was very good, and he even teased him.
He also realized in his heart that there was no suspense for Manchester City to win this game.
※※※
In the attacking trident, Glory and Ibrahimovic both scored successively, and Kaka was not willing to be lonely.
Towards the end of the first half, in the 44th minute, he received a return from Zlatan Ibrahimovic from outside the box and fired a shot straight from distance, and the goalkeeper was completely helpless to watch the ball fly into their goal for the third time......
3:0!
"Kaka-!! Oh! Oh! It's a trident solo show! John Mortensen laughed. Indeed, when the media discussed Manchester City's starting lineup and many main players were rested, they seemed to ignore one point, that is, regardless of how other players rotated, Manchester City's attacking trident was all on the scene! I think just the three of them will be enough for Manchester City to win this game, after all, Wigan Athletic is not a very strong team, and it is difficult for them to cause any problems for Manchester City......
"That's right, not counting this game, Manchester City have played five official games this season." Alan Hansen said from the side. "In those five games, Manchester City have not scored less than four goals per game. The Community Shield won 5-0 against Stoke City, Swansea City 5-0 in the first round of the league, Bolton Wanderers 4-2 in the second round of the league, Tottenham Hotspur 5-0 in the third round of the league, and Porto 4-0 in the UEFA Super Cup. Twenty-three goals have been scored in five games, which is the most offensive firepower in Europe! With this kind of attacking firepower, Manchester City can indeed rest assured that they can make bold rotations against Wigan Athletic......"
'Well, Manchester City had a three-goal lead before half-time and we can declare the winner of this game in advance. At the same time, we can also announce in advance that Manchester City has set a new record! The longest unbeaten streak in Europe's top five leagues, with a 59-game unbeaten streak! It's amazing! ”
The reason why John Mortensen dared to say such a thing was naturally because Manchester City's trident was on the field.
Even if Wigan Athletic were able to score three goals in the second half, it would only be an equaliser, and a draw would not affect Manchester City's new record.
So it's time to announce the conclusion in advance.
※※※
In fact, Wigan Athletic, after conceding three goals in the first half, are not convinced that they can cause any more problems for City.
This Manchester City team is almost not like it is on Earth.
When Pep Guardiola led Barcelona to win the six crowns, some media praised Barcelona as a "cosmic team", but now it seems that Manchester City, who defeated Barcelona in the Champions League final, is the real cosmic team......
Both sides slowed down in the second half, given that City still have a Champions League game in midweek and away from home, so they don't have to go on a rampage against Wigan Athletic with a three-goal lead.
And Wigan Athletic was also beaten completely out of temper, what killing tactics, what tenacious struggle, forget it......
The second half was much less turbulent than the first half, and it wasn't even exciting, because the minds of both sides were on it.
Not only the players, but also the fans and commentators.
From the 55th minute of the match, the Manchester City fans in the stands turned the stands at the Manchester City Stadium into a stage of a chorus, and their singing resounded in the sky and continued to sing.
And commentators everywhere have focused on Manchester City's new record, which is much more interesting than the game on the field.
Everyone is quite embarrassed when they look back on how Manchester City's 59-game unbeaten streak came about.
Unexpectedly, it was just the gamble of Rong Guang and a media reporter at the beginning, but it turned out to change European football......
AC Milan's legendary record was rewritten because of this, I'm afraid they themselves feel quite wronged......
It's simply a classic case of being shot while lying down for no reason! I580
