Chapter 152: The Rhythm of the Premier League

"Haha, the Chinese was tackled the first time he received the ball, will he not dare to catch the ball next?"

"The Premier League is not the same as Ligue 1, it won't let him score whatever he wants."

The English commentary sings and harmonizes, continuously provoking the atmosphere.

The Stoke City fans were so excited that they kept chanting for their captain.

"Well done, Ryan."

"Let the Chinese have a good look at the intensity of the Premier League."

"Kill that big parallel merchant."

Off the pitch, the game continues.

Shawcross's tackle helped Stoke City gain possession of the ball and they took the initiative to try their hand at attacking.

It was a simple and direct long pass that was rushed and hung twice, and finally the Austrian tall Arnautovic barely completed the goal and sent the football out of the bottom line with one kick.

Typical English football play, many teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League like to do this.

In the lower leagues of England, this style of play is even more mainstream.

Although this style of play has long been criticized for being too rough, it is better to be simple and direct.

Combined with the larger physical confrontation scale of the Premier League, it can also turn the top six teams upside down from time to time.

Once Manchester City got the ball back, they played the exact opposite of their opponents.

Short pass penetration, go ground attack.

With two technical midfielders at the same time, Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva, this is one of the reasons why Pep Guardiola chose to come to Manchester City.

At least in terms of player configuration, City's technicality is adequate.

Manchester City quickly pushed the ball up front and began to put pressure on Stoke City continuously.

However, in recent years, the Premier League teams have basically been technical-based play, and Stoke City is not surprised and not afraid at all.

City kept the ball under pressure for more than 20 minutes and struggled to find a good opportunity.

Zhang Chaoqiang was also continuously targeted during this time.

The main reason is that his name as Mr. 100 million yuan is too big, and he was treated like a bird in the head.

After being brought down by another offense, the referee on duty, Mike Dean, still only blew for a normal foul.

David Silva on the side stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Chaoqiang up, patted him on the back and comforted: "Don't be discouraged, just wait for you to get used to it a little more." ”

The Premier League's physical confrontation is larger, but it is not only muscular men who can play.

The key is to see if you can adapt.

David Silva is a positive example, he is not a strong man, he is even a little thin.

But he was able to adapt to the rhythm of the game, so he got mixed up at Manchester City.

Once Manchester United's Di Maria was a counterexample, he has not been able to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, so he has to leave after playing for a year, and he does not hesitate to turn his face with Manchester United.

Zhang Chaoqiang's body is not thin, it is a standard figure, and the current strength attribute is also 82 points.

He is confident in adapting to the pace of the Premier League.

But others don't know that.

Some people may be waiting to see him laugh, while others are genuinely worried about him.

If he really can't adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, Zhang Chaoqiang will really become a super parallel import.

"I'm fine, David, remember to pass me more." Zhang Chaoqiang was confident and responded to his teammates with a smile.

Zhang was fouled on the flank of midfield and David Silva whipped in a free-kick that quickly made its way to Kevin De Bruyne.

Stoke City have been very aggressive in pressing as they have been confident in their succession of successful defences.

Manchester City players are ready to pick up Ding Ding, and Zhang Chaoqiang also retreats slightly.

But as soon as he retreated two steps, Zhang Chaoqiang suddenly turned around and started, accelerating directly towards the Stoke City penalty area.

At this time, Tintin just dodged Joe Allen in front of him, and immediately sent a straight plug forward.

When Zhang Chaoqiang's speed was at its maximum, Ding Ding's pass just arrived, and the advance was just right.

After a week of continuous training, everyone has cultivated some tacit understanding.

Zhang Chaoqiang received the ball very comfortably, and continued to charge at high speed without slowing down.

Congolese midfielder Imbra tried to intercept in front of the penalty area, but was passed by Zhang Chaoqiang's fast and smooth bicycle twice, and rushed straight into the penalty area.

Stoke City captain Shawcross rushed to make up for the defense, Zhang Chaoqiang led the football all the way to the left front, but when he reached Shawcross, he changed direction with the ball with the outside instep and suddenly turned to the right.

The sudden change of direction in the high-speed dribble caught the Stoke City captain off guard, but he still tried to force himself to keep up.

So the soles of his feet were mixed with garlic, and his center of gravity was unstable and fell to the ground.

After connecting the two, Zhang Chaoqiang has already faced the goal.

He quickly adjusted his pace, decisively swung his leg sideways, and volleyed hard with his right foot.

Bang!

The ball raced into the bottom left corner of the net and Stoke City goalkeeper Shay Givens couldn't make a save.

Although the "Goooooooooalβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”" England commentary has been in the atmosphere, the goal on the pitch happened, and they instantly cut into roaring mode.

"The ball is in!! Goal from Zhang!! ”

"Manchester City's Mr. Billion, he scored with a one-handed volley past two in a row, it was a very beautiful goal!!"

"In the 25th minute of his debut, Zhang scored his first Premier League goal and the first goal of his Manchester City career!!"

"In this attack, Zhang made good use of his speed, he galloped all the way with the football, almost like a wild horse, penetrating the Stoke City defense in an instant."

At the same time, the domestic commentators were also cheering excitedly.

"Zhang Chaoqiang!! Attaboy!! ”

"A very sharp breakthrough, two people directly scored a single goal, this is Zhang Chaoqiang's ability, even in the Premier League, he can still shine all over the field."

"This goal is the fifth goal for a Chinese player in the Premier League, after Sun Jihai scored three goals and Zheng Zhi scored one."

"Now, after nine years, another Chinese player has finally scored in the Premier League."

"And I believe that it won't be long before Zhang Chaoqiang can refresh all those records."

β€»β€»β€»

On the field, Zhang Chaoqiang did not rush to the sidelines to celebrate immediately after scoring a goal, but turned around and ran back to the accident site.

He was about to extend a "helping hand" to the shaking Shawcross Rose, but he didn't expect this guy to get up quite quickly.

In just a second or two, the other party has already gotten up on his own.

"Are you alright? Watch out next time. "You can't run in vain," Zhang Chaoqiang patted the other party's ass and comforted.

"Is Zhang talking trash to Ryan? Haha, this is an interesting picture, before Ryan shoveled down Zhang, the two of them seem to have had a verbal exchange. The England commentator liked this kind of footage very much, and was excited to interpret it.

Shh

There was no doubt that Stoke City booed all over the stadium at home.

With some delay, Zhang Chaoqiang's first Premier League goal did not celebrate much.

The game restarted, and Manchester City still took the initiative on the field.

After all, there is a big gap in strength between the two sides, and Manchester City is the stronger side no matter what tactics are used.

Zhang opened the scoring for the team, causing Stoke City's defensive focus to shift even more towards him.

But it was a hoist that was pressed to float and soon the rest of City had their chances.

In the 38th minute, David Silva went straight into the penalty area, Sterling received the ball and started, but was tripped by Dutch defender Peters.

Mike Dean was not blind and immediately blew for the penalty.

'Manchester City won a penalty and now the question is, who should take the penalty?'

'Sergio Aguero was City's first penalty taker but he just missed two penalties in the Champions League.

"Zhang's penalty ability is not bad, he used to be the team's first penalty taker in Lyon, but when he first arrived, others may not be convinced."

'If it's really hard to decide, Pep Guardiola could consider letting Raheem Sterling take the ......'

The England commentator began to ridicule again.

On the issue of penalty rights in the team, Guardiola has not yet made a decision.

However, after the penalty kick, he reacted quickly and quickly shouted to the field: "Zhang, you go." ”

This decision is expected.

After all, Sergio Aguero had just kicked off two penalties, and the substitution was a reasonable one.

So Zhang Chaoqiang stood at the penalty spot, waited for Mike Dean to blow the whistle, and directly ran to hit the goal.

The ball flew straight into the top right corner of the goal, and Stoke City goalkeeper Givens successfully bet on the right direction and made a hard save, but it was still reduced to a goal background.

"Good shot!! Zhang Chaoqiang hit the penalty without any problems!! ”

"In his first game in the Premier League, Zhang Chaoqiang scored a brace with an outstanding performance."

"You must know that the previous five Chinese players have played 191 games in the Premier League, and their cumulative number of goals is only four."

"Now it only takes half a game, and Zhang Chaoqiang has completed half of their goals."

"This is Zhang Chaoqiang, a real super genius!!"
