Chapter 152 The Rhythm of the Premier League

"Haha, the Chinese received a flying shovel the first time he caught the ball. Will he not dare to catch the ball anymore?"

"The Premier League is different from Ligue [-]. He won't be allowed to score whatever he wants."

The England commentator sang and sang, continuously teasing the atmosphere.

The fans of Stoke City were very excited and kept cheering for their captain.

"Good job, Ryan."

"Let the Chinese have a good experience of the strength of the Premier League."

"Get rid of that big parallel importer."

On the court, the game continues.

Shawcross' tackle helped Stoke get the ball and they took the initiative to try and attack.

It was a simple and direct long pass and two punches. In the end, the tall Austrian Anautovic barely finished the goal and sent the football out of the baseline with one kick.

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

In England's low-level leagues, this style of play is even more mainstream.

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

Cooperating with the larger scale of physical confrontation in the Premier League, it can also turn the top six teams on their backs from time to time.

After Manchester City got the ball back, their offensive style of play was completely opposite to that of their opponents.

Penetrate with short passes and attack on the ground.

At the same time, it has two technical midfielders, De Bruyne and David Silva, which is one of the reasons why Guardiola chose to come to Manchester City.

At least in terms of player configuration, Manchester City's technical skills are sufficient.

Manchester City quickly pushed the football forward and began to put continuous pressure on Stoke City.

However, in recent years, the strong teams in the Premier League have basically played technical games. Stoke City is not surprised and has no fear.

Manchester City held the ball and put pressure on it for more than 20 minutes, but it was always difficult to find a good opportunity.

Zhang Chaoqiang was also continuously targeted during this period.

The main reason is that his reputation as Mr. Yi Yi is too big, so he was treated like a bird with a gun.

After being violated and brought down again, the on-duty referee Mike Dean still only called a common foul.

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

The physical confrontation in the Premier League is relatively large, but not only muscular men can play.

The key is to see if you can adapt.

David Silva is a positive example. He is not a strong player, and he is even a little thin.

But he can adapt to this rhythm of the game, so he thrives in Manchester City.

Di Maria of Manchester United was a counterexample. He couldn't adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, so he had to leave after playing for a year. For this reason, he did not hesitate to turn against Manchester United.

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

He is very confident about adapting to the rhythm of the Premier League.

But others don't know this.

Some people may be waiting to see his jokes, while others are really worried about him.

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

"I'm fine, David, remember to pass the ball to me more." Zhang Chaoqiang responded confidently to his teammates with a smile.

Zhang Chaoqiang was fouled on the side of the midfield, David Silva took a free kick, and the football was quickly passed to De Bruyne's feet.

Stoke pressed very aggressively, as they were brimming with confidence after a successful run of defensive success.

Manchester City players were ready to respond to Ding Ding, and Zhang Chaoqiang also retreated slightly.

But just two steps back, Zhang Chaoqiang suddenly turned around and started, accelerating directly towards the restricted area of ​​Stoke City.

At this time, Ding Ding just avoided Joe Allen in front of him, and immediately sent a through ball forward.

When Zhang Chaoqiang's speed was maximized, Ding Ding's pass arrived just right, and the amount of 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 losing speed.

Congo midfielder Imbra tried to intercept in front of the penalty area, but was passed by Zhang Chaoqiang with two quick and smooth pedaling, and rushed straight into the penalty area.

Stoke City captain Shawcross rushed to defend. Zhang Chaoqiang took the football all the way to the left front, but when he reached Shawcross, he turned the ball with the outside of his foot and suddenly turned to the right.

The sudden change of direction in this high-speed dribbling caught the Stoke City captain off guard, but he still wanted to forcefully turn around to keep up.

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

After two people in a row, Zhang Chaoqiang was already facing the goal.

He quickly adjusted his pace, decisively swung his legs sideways, and volleyed vigorously with his right foot.

Bang!
The football flew into the bottom left corner of the goal, and Stoke City goalkeeper Shay Given couldn't make a save.

"Goooooooooooal—————————" Although England's commentator has been playing with the atmosphere, but when a goal is scored on the pitch, they instantly switch to screaming mode.

"Goal! Goal from Zhang!!"

"Mr. Billion from Manchester City, he volleyed and scored the goal after passing two people in a row. This is a very beautiful goal!!"

"In the 25th minute of his debut game, Zhang scored his first goal in the Premier League, and it was also the first goal in Manchester City's career!!"

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

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

"Zhang Chaoqiang!! Well done!!"

"A very sharp breakthrough, directly breaking through two people in a row, this is Zhang Chaoqiang's ability, even in the Premier League, he can still shine in the audience."

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

"Now, after nine years, there is finally another Chinese player scoring goals in the Premier League."

"And I believe that Zhang Chaoqiang will be able to refresh all those records in a short time."

※※※

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

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

In just a second or two, the other party had already got up by himself.

"Are you okay? Be careful next time." Zhang Chaoqiang patted the other party's butt to comfort him.

"Is Zhang talking rubbish to Ryan? Haha, this is an interesting scene. Before Ryan toppled Zhang, the two of them seem to have had a language exchange." England's commentator liked this kind of scene very much, and excitedly interpreted .

Hush

There is no doubt that Stoke City was booed at home.

Despite some delays, Zhang Chaoqiang did not celebrate his first Premier League goal.

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. No matter what tactics Manchester City uses, they are always the stronger side.

Zhang Chaoqiang opened the scoring for the team, causing Stoke City's defensive center of gravity to shift further towards him.

But this is pressing the gourd to float the scoop, and soon the rest of Manchester City will get a chance.

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 called a penalty kick.

"Manchester City got a penalty, now the question is, who should take the penalty?"

"Aguero was originally Manchester City's first penalty taker, but he just missed two penalties in the Champions League game."

"Zhang's penalty kick ability is not bad. He used to be the team's first penalty shooter in Lyon, but he just arrived, and others may not be convinced."

"If it is really difficult to make a choice, Guardiola can consider letting Sterling take the penalty..."

The England commentator began to tease again.

Regarding the issue of penalty kicks in the team, Guardiola has not yet decided.

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

Everyone expected this decision.

After all, Aguero just kicked two penalty kicks away, so it is reasonable to substitute someone to take the penalty.

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

The football flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal. Stoke City goalkeeper Shay Wen successfully bet on the right direction and made a hard save, but he still could only be reduced to the background board of the goal.

"Good shot!! Zhang Chaoqiang hit the penalty kick, there is no problem!!"

"In his first Premier League game, Zhang Chaoqiang scored twice with his outstanding performance."

"You must know that the previous five Chinese players participated in 191 games in the Premier League, and their cumulative goals were only 4 goals."

"It only takes half a game now, and Zhang Chaoqiang has already completed half of their goals."

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