Chapter 163 Premier League Galaxy Battleship
"Alexander, don't lose heart, just let them have a ball."

"The game has just begun and we still have plenty of time."

Tottenham players cheered and celebrated on the sidelines, while Manchester City players took advantage of this time to step forward to comfort Kolarov.

Zhang Chaoqiang also stepped forward to rub the back of the opponent's head, offering simple comfort.

Someone scored an own goal in two consecutive games, and Manchester City is indeed a bit unlucky.

On the other side, Tottenham's morale was high. Obviously, that own goal gave them great confidence.

So after the celebration, Tottenham performed even more fiercely on the court.

But Manchester City's chance came first.

In the 27th minute, Manchester City organized an attack after regaining the ball and smoothly advanced to the frontcourt.

Fernandinho and Aguero passed the ball quickly to Zhang Chaoqiang in front of the penalty area. Zhang Chaoqiang took the ball and turned around, accelerated two steps forward, and then stopped suddenly, avoiding Lamela and Wan through rhythm changes. Yama, shifted the ball to the open right with one kick.

Sterling dribbled forward with the ball and swept across the goal at the right time.

"pretty!!"

"nice shot!!"

Numerous commentators cheered.

Manchester City's attack was fast and smooth, and successfully penetrated the Tottenham defense.

David Silva pushed forward and pushed the ball just two meters away from the goal.

As long as the ball is pushed steadily, it will definitely be scored.

But the moment David Silva stepped forward, Alderweireld also reacted very quickly to keep up with the interference.

So under the interference of the Belgian defender, David Silva kicked the ball and let the football fly directly out of the baseline.

"Oh, what a pity."

"This is the most successful attack Manchester City has played since the opening, and in the end it was still close to the goal."

After Manchester City missed the opportunity, Tottenham's morale became even higher.

So for the rest of the first half, Tottenham played more actively.

Manchester City still possessed more than half of the ball, but they were obviously suppressed on the scene.

So Manchester City's second conceded goal came naturally.

In the 39th minute, Fernando was intercepted by Lamela in the midfield, and Tottenham launched a counterattack on the spot.

Ali and Eriksson collided with the wall in the frontcourt, and after collaborating, they pretended to hit the goal, but they dunked lightly and sent the ball to Sun Xingmin, who was in the penalty area.

Sun Xingmin took the ball and rushed towards the Manchester City goal. After successfully attracting the attention of Otamendi and Kolarov, he knocked the ball across.

Dele Alli followed up with a low shot and the ball flew into City's goal for the second time.

"The goal is scored! 2:0!! Tottenham lead Manchester City 2:0 at home!!"

"It's a surprise score. Everyone knows that Tottenham have the ability to compete with Manchester City and even have a chance to beat Manchester City at home."

"However, the lead by two goals before the end of the first half is still somewhat unexpected!"

Tottenham scored another goal, which made the South Korean commentator very happy.

"Nice goal!"

"Our Xingmin sent an assist, Ali scored a goal, and Tottenham took a two-goal lead!"

"In this much-watched Premier League Asian derby, Tottenham completely dominated the game. Manchester City, considered invincible in the Premier League, is not that strong. They are about to be shot down by Tottenham!"

"And in terms of the individual performance of the players, our Xingmin is also better than the Chinese!"

At this moment, the Koreans have infinitely elevated the representativeness of this game.

South Korea's football level is considered top-notch in Asia, but in the entire world, they can only be regarded as weak football countries.

So whenever a player is famous in the five major leagues in the mainstream world of football, it represents their entire country.

In fact, Zhang Chaoqiang is the same.

Since his achievements in Ligue [-], he has inevitably become a role model for China in the football world.

Therefore, this Asian derby is largely given the meaning of a war between China and South Korea.

Now that Tottenham are leading by two goals, Sun Xingmin's performance is also very good. Of course, the Koreans are extremely excited, and they only have to open champagne to celebrate at halftime.

If Sun Xingmin can score another goal, it will be more perfect.

Tottenham were not satisfied after leading by two goals, and continued to perform bravely in the last few minutes of the first half.

Pressing wildly and attacking quickly, they launched another wave of attacks.

However, under the command of Guardiola, the Manchester City team stabilized their defense and did not give them another chance.

However, in the 42nd minute of the game, Manchester City regained the ball and advanced quickly. Zhang Chaoqiang shot a cold arrow from outside the penalty area and bombarded the goal with heavy artillery.

In this way, Manchester City had to return to the locker room with a score behind 0:2.

"As far as the performance of the entire first half is concerned, Tottenham played at home was better. They suppressed Manchester City almost throughout the first half, so a 2:0 lead is a very fair score."

"But Manchester City is not without a chance, because they are the Premier League's galaxy battleship and have a lot of stars in the team."

"Even if they are suppressed tactically, they still have a chance to score goals through the individual abilities of the stars. For example, David Silva and Super Zhang almost broke the Tottenham goal in the first half..."

During the intermission, commentators from various countries were summarizing the performance of the two teams in the first half.

The Premier League Galaxy Battleship is the new nickname given to Manchester City by the English media recently.

Introduced Zhang Chaoqiang at a sky-high summer transfer price, invited Pep Guardiola to coach, plus well-known stars such as Aguero, Sterling, De Bruyne, David Silva, etc. winning streak.

So Manchester City was dubbed the Premier League Galaxy Battleship by the English media who like to brag.

※※※

"Tottenham played very well in the first half, but they couldn't run like sprinters for 10 minutes. In the second half, we continued to play according to the original rhythm..."

At halftime, Guardiola tried his best to boost the confidence of the team while making key adjustments.

Fernando went off and was replaced by Gundogan.

It was an admission of tactical failure in the first half.

De Bruyne was injured when he played against the Celtics in the last game. Guardiola arranged for Gundogan to come off the bench, but the German did not help Manchester City stabilize the rhythm. Instead, they played against the opponent in an inexplicable mess.

So this time against Tottenham, Guardiola thought of a good idea and let the Brazilian Fernando start.

However, according to the performance of the first half, Fernando disappeared throughout the whole process, and the Manchester City midfielder couldn't control the ball at all, and was robbed in a hurry.

So there is no way, let's change to Jing Duoan and try again.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Gundogan immediately showed an active performance.

In the 48th minute, Gundogan made a breakthrough in front of the penalty area and made a foul by Sissoko.

"It's a free-kick from the front of the penalty area and it's a good position to hit the goal directly."

Zhang Chaoqiang stepped forward and patted Gundogan on the shoulder to show encouragement.

It is also persuasion.

It's fine for this kid to make a free kick, but he still wants to take the penalty himself.

Being patted on the shoulder by Zhang Chaoqiang, Jing Duoan didn't insist, nodded and stepped aside.

"Zhang Chaoqiang stood at the penalty spot. He is not only Manchester City's first penalty shooter, but also a free kick shooter."

At this time, the tone of the South Korean commentator was a bit uncomfortable.

Sun Xingmin is a key player in the Tottenham team, but it is not his turn to take penalty kicks and free kicks.

When Zhang Chaoqiang set up the football, Tottenham also lined up the wall.

Sun Xingmin was also in the human wall.

The referee Marina blew his whistle to signal, Zhang Chaoqiang took a deep breath, ran up and kicked hard with the instep of his right foot.

Bang! ! !
Under the watchful eyes of all the fans, the football took off rapidly, just passing over the head of Sun Xingmin in the crowd, and went straight to the upper left corner of the goal.

Lloris's reaction was not as fast as Zhang's ultra-strong long-range shot in the first half. When he flew forward, the football flew into the net from the upper left corner and pulled out a net.

"Goooooooooooooal——————"

"Super Zhang!! Manchester City's Mr. Billion!! He broke the Tottenham goal!!"

"This is a direct free kick, Super Zhang's free kick is precisely guided, straight into the goal!!"

"The second half of the game has just started, and Manchester City managed to get a goal back."

"There is still a lot of suspense in this game, and the outcome of the two sides is still undecided."

Zhang Chaoqiang scored a free kick and immediately rushed to the sidelines, waving his fists excitedly.

I played uncomfortably throughout the first half, and now I finally got a goal back, so I can vent a bit.

On the edge of the court, Guardiola also waved his fist excitedly.

Gundogan, who came off the bench, made a free kick, proving that his substitution adjustments were effective.

The key goal brought Manchester City back to the game, and they still have to play.

It is best to be able to reverse the score, and even if it cannot be reversed, an equalizer is also very good.

Tottenham are No. 2 in the standings, and a draw is enough for Manchester City to maintain their lead.
