Chapter 1263: Melting Ice and Snow

Glory's goal really surprised many people, not only the fans of Zenit St. Petersburg and the commentators of England, but also the commentators of other countries and regions, and when the football flew into the goal, some people were even frightened into silence.

It wasn't until two or three seconds later that I reacted.

Then came all kinds of howls.

In the words of a certain reporter -- Glory once again lit the commentary seat.

But he didn't just set the commentary bench on fire, the goal and the heat he emanated seemed to have set Petrovsky Stadium on fire, causing the snow and ice to melt and the temperature to rise a lot, and the wind seemed to be lighter......

When the Manchester City players celebrated their goals with Glory and restarted the game, the Manchester City players also improved their performance.

It seems that the venue and the weather have diminished the impact on them.

And Zenit St. Petersburg is naturally not willing to admit defeat like this, this is their home stadium, they plan to take all three points, how can they give up because they are behind by one goal?

When the game resumed, they also launched a fierce attack on Manchester City's goal.

However, the attack of Zenit St. Petersburg did not bring them goals.

You must know that Manchester City are very good at playing defensive counter-attacks......

So just seven minutes after Glory's goal, he scored again.

At that time, Manchester City's attack advanced to the front, because the field was slippery, David Silva did not continue to dribble the ball forward, but just entered the 30-meter area, directly kicked a 45-degree angle diagonal long pass, and hoisted the football into the Zenit St. Petersburg penalty area.

Glory, on the other hand, plugged in at high speed, and around the time he stepped on the line of the penalty area, he leaped high and sprinted towards the ball in the air.

Although the defender of Zenit St. Petersburg, Crisitto, had jumped up and was about to push the football out, but the glory of the full sprint jumped much higher than him, and he sprinted with all his strength, first pushing the ball towards the goal, and then knocking Crisito over, who fell backwards.

He saw the ball fly towards the goal, and goalkeeper Malafeev jumped, but his hand was still a little far from the ball......

Next, before he fell to the ground completely, he saw the ball kick off the net......

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!! Glory! Glory! Rong-!! Powerful header!! The bouncing on Rong's header is really ornamental! ”

"Man City are 2-0 up! Away from home, facing a very difficult situation, I didn't expect Manchester City to take a two-goal lead! You know, on their own home turf, Manchester City and Zenit St. Petersburg ended up being just a draw! ”

※※※

With each goal scored by Glory, the wind over Petrovsky's stadium seemed to be lighter and the temperature was warmer.

After Glory scored two goals, the Manchester City player's watch was close to normal.

Before the end of the first half, Rong Guang dribbled horizontally at the edge of the penalty area of Zenit St. Petersburg, and after passing two players from Zenit St. Petersburg who pounced, he did not choose to shoot, but unexpectedly pushed the football diagonal line out and plugged it straight away!

At that time, all the defenders of Zenit St. Petersburg, including the goalkeeper, were defending Glory with an arc shot with the outside of his right foot and a powerful volley with the instep of his left foot, but no one expected that Glory would choose to pass the ball.

The target of the glorious pass was Ibrahimovic, who was inserted into the box from the ribs, and the Swede received the ball and turned and volleyed directly.

Although Malafyev turned and pounced back as soon as possible, he was too slow in front of Ibrahimovic's powerful volley, which was completely unadjusted......

“GOAL!! Ibrahimovic!! Before the first half of the game was over, Manchester City had a three-goal lead! This is simply unexpected! Manchester City completely dominate this game! But wasn't the advantage supposed to be in the hands of Zenit St. Petersburg? John Mortensen didn't forget to ironize Zenit St. Petersburg, who felt so good about themselves before the game, and now they let City play 3-0...... Even if this game ends with this scoreline, Manchester City can be regarded as a complete victory.

What about the home field advantage?

What about the right time, place, and people?

The Petrovsky Stadium suddenly became dead silent...... Even the howling wind before was almost inaudible.

At this time, someone looked up at the sky and realized that at some point, the stars and the moon in the night sky appeared - the wind blew away the thick clouds that had been hanging over St. Petersburg, and then left with the clouds.

This time it's not an illusion, it's really calm!

Although the wind calmed down, the raging waves on the court did not calm down.

At the start of the second half, City had no intention of stopping there.

Glory, in particular, seemed to have fully adapted to the slippery artificial turf, and walked with the ball on the pitch, so that the defenders of Zenit St. Petersburg could not keep up with the rhythm of Glory.

The slippery artificial turf did not stop Glory's advance, but instead caused many Zenit St. Petersburg players to lose their balance in the face of Glory's various stop-and-go changes......

In the sixty-third minute, Rongguang received the ball outside the penalty area, first made a strong volley posture, deceived Krisito who was blocking in front of him to tackle the ball, but was shaken by Rongguang, and then Rongguang accelerated into the penalty area with the ball, facing the attacking goalkeeper Malafeev, he made a shot feint, and deceived Malafeev to the ground, he buckled the football in the direction of his left foot, and then his left foot followed up and pushed it, and the football was kicked into the goal!

"Hat! Hat! Hat-trick! Wing completed his hat trick in the game! It was also his first hat-trick in the Champions League this season! It was also Rong's sixth goal in the Champions League this season! After only four games in the group stage, six goals have already been scored, and this season's Rong is still aiming for the top scorer in the Champions League! ”

The narrators were very excited.

In such an unfavorable situation, Glory was able to complete a hat trick, and everyone was impressed by the ability that Glory showed.

The same was true for the reporters in the media gallery, who remembered that Rong Guang said in an interview before the game that the weather would not affect the team's performance. Only then did they react that what Rongguang said was not that it would not affect the team's performance, but that it would not affect his performance. And as long as he plays normally, Manchester City wins.

It turns out that Rongguang's confidence in the team comes from this, from himself!

So to speak...... His words really make sense, and it's completely irrefutable.

Facts speak louder than words, and now the facts are in front of everyone.

With only an hour to play, Manchester City are already 4-0 ahead of Zenit St. Petersburg.

Zenit St. Petersburg's home advantage is gone.

In the last game, after Zenit St. Petersburg drew 2:2 away to Manchester City, I thought they could beat Manchester City at home by taking advantage of the bad weather, but I didn't expect to be killed by Manchester City instead......

Look at the expressions of the Zenit St. Petersburg players, it just so happened that the TV broadcast gave a close-up of the faces of these people, and every Zenit St. Petersburg player who was given a close-up had a dull expression, they were completely blinded.

Although the 90-minute game time has not yet arrived, everyone knows that this game is over, and the outcome has long been out of suspense.

※※※

Rafael Benitez started making substitutions after scoring a hat-trick in glory, on the one hand, he wanted to give his main players more rest, and on the other hand, he was worried that continuing to play would increase the possibility of injury to some players, after all, the field conditions are still not good.

In addition, he was worried that Zenit St. Petersburg, who had lost four goals, would become angry and kick harder.

The first substitution he made was a hat-trick in the game.

In the past, he had rarely made an early substitution for Glory in a game, but this time it was a special one.

After Rongguang was replaced, many people regretted it - they also wanted to see if Rongguang would complete the big four in the game, or score more goals.

There's no chance now.

After Rong Guang was replaced, the TV broadcast gave him a close-up, and the camera was always staring at his face, wanting to see if there was any change in the expression on his face.

If the glory table is dissatisfied, then tomorrow there will be other hype points in the media beyond the hat-trick.

Fortresses are the easiest to be crushed from within.

Manchester City's results are so good that it is difficult to hope that the forces from the outside threaten them, only to expect the dynasty to collapse from within.

When the time comes, Glory and Benitez will definitely be the fuse.

But they didn't see anything.

Glory, who found himself substituted, simply handed the captain's armband to Sneijder next to him, and then he turned and ran off the field. Yes, it's running, not slowly, and he uses it to run, which shows that his mentality is still very positive.

This also shows that he has no problem with Benitez's substitution.

He didn't care about being replaced early.

This disappointed the good deeds.

After Rong Guang was replaced, many people felt that the game was meaningless, and everyone's focus was not on the game.

At the same time, Zenit St. Petersburg began to hope that they could take advantage of the absence of glory on the pitch to pull a few goals back, and it would be even better if they could equalize the score - they don't have the luxury of winning now, and they have to thank God for a draw.

So the offensive of Zenit in St. Petersburg was noticeably intensified.

However, this kind of thing fell into Ibrahimovic's eyes, and he felt that it was a provocation and humiliation to himself.

Oh, when Glory is on the pitch, you are honestly like a flock of sheep. Now that the glory is gone, you are going to turn into a wolf?

Why?

Do you think that glory is a greater deterrent to you?

What about me?

Where do you put me in Zlatan by doing this?

You don't have Zlatan Ibrahimovic in your eyes anymore?!

In the 70th minute, a furious Ibrahimovic found the second hole in the goal of Zenit St. Petersburg with a powerful volley from near the penalty spot, which was also City's fifth goal of the game......
