Green Journey

The next morning, as soon as De Bruyne drove the car out of the gate of the hospital, he saw Chu Zheng crouching on the curb outside the gate with his satchel on his back.

"come on!" De Bruyne stepped on the brakes, slowly stopped beside Chu Zheng, lowered the window of the big G, with a look of helplessness on his face, "Chu, I really don't understand that you don't like driving. Why buy a car!"

Chu Zheng shrugged, opened the passenger door to get into the car, and said cheerfully, "It's not that I don't like driving, I just want to save some energy!"

"Do you think I'm an idiot?" De Bruyne asked, rolling his eyes.

Hearing this, Chu Zheng looked at De Bruyne carefully, with a bad smile, and asked without answering, "Kevin, do you know what I like most about you?"

"Huh?" De Bruyne turned on the steering wheel, then looked at Chu Zheng suspiciously.

Chu Zheng suppressed a smile and said, "What I like most about you is that you have always had a clear understanding of yourself!"

"What?" De Bruyne hesitated.On the football field, his mind turns quickly, but off the field it seems that he is not so fast.

"Fake!!!"

After a while, De Bruyne realized that Chu Zheng was turning a corner and scolding him. He was so angry that he picked up a box of tissues in the armrest box on the right and threw it at any time.

Chu Zheng turned sideways and blocked it with both hands, unable to stop laughing.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the Manchester City training base.

"Hey! Chu, Kevin, good morning!"

"Good morning, Andy!"

"Chu, Kevin, Congratulations!"

"C...

"what……"

Looking at Andy, who was wearing thick glasses and hurried away with a stack of documents, Chu Zheng and De Bruyne looked at each other in blank dismay. Why should Andy congratulate them?

"Did we not lose yesterday?" De Bruyne looked dazed.

Chu Zheng gave De Bruyne an idiot look.

The two stopped in place and thought for a while, completely confused about why Andy congratulated them just now.

"Hey Chu, Kevin, Congratulations!" Well, another one.

Seeing Arteta congratulate them again, Chu Zheng and De Bruyne did not let Arteta run away this time.

After some inquiries, I realized that it was the PFA, which is the English Professional Players Union, which announced this season's best team and best player candidate list this morning.

And Chu Zheng and De Bruyne, the No. [-] and No. [-] in the Premier League assist list, were also selected as candidates for the PFA Team of the Year and Player of the Year respectively.

In addition, because Chu Zheng is just under 23 years old, he was also selected as a candidate for the PFA Best Young Player this year.

After chatting with Arteta for a short while, the two continued to walk to the locker room.

"Kevin, why do I feel like they have decided that I will be the winner in the end." Chu Zheng turned to look at De Bruyne beside him.

"Chu, sometimes I really want to hit you!" Hearing what Chu Zheng said, De Bruyne gritted his teeth.

"Haha!" Chu Zheng, who pretended to be a wave, ran away.

Looking at Chu Zheng's back, De Bruyne shook his head and smiled.

In fact, the PFA's list of candidates for the best player of the season in De Bruyne's view is completely without any suspense, and no one can shake Chu Zheng.

34 Premier League goals, ranking first in the Premier League scorer list.

With 31 Premier League assists, he is still the first in the Premier League assists list.

With this data, who can kill Chu Zheng in this year's Premier League awards selection?De Bruyne really can't think of anyone who can threaten his friend.

Although the selection of PFA is voted by all Premier League players, it is a relatively closed process.

Within the group of players, there must be some tangible or intangible tacit rules.

Perhaps under this rule, individual voting choices will deviate from the original intention, but De Bruyne believes that most players will not ignore Chu Zheng's terrifying goal and assist data.

And PFA will not allow such an extremely unfair selection result, otherwise it would be a huge scandal.

A player who is very likely to score a hundred goals in a single season will not be the best in one season, which will make the entire English football world a joke around the world.

Therefore, De Bruyne believes that the probability of Chu Zheng winning is infinitely close to [-]%.

At the same time, the outside world has become lively with the 6-man list of the best players of the year announced by the England Professional Players Union. (Chu Zheng, Kanter, Hazard, Ibrahimovic, Harry Kane, Lukaku)
Although many people, like De Bruyne, believe that the PFA player of the season is likely to be Chu Zheng, but some diehard fans believe that the players they support also have great hopes of winning.

So the two sides argued on the Internet about the data of their supporting players, and everyone said that there was reason.

After all, the English Professional Union announced that the 6 players on this list are all leaders of this season. It is really impossible to say that a certain player must have no hope.

Otherwise, there would be no need to publish the list of candidates.

……

On the afternoon of April 4, the 23th round of the Premier League started.

However, on the first match day of this round, Liverpool once again staged a drama of robbing the rich and helping the poor.

This round of Liverpool is playing at home against Crystal Palace, which has come a long way and is still fighting for relegation.

After the opening, Liverpool, who are at home, took the initiative, and Wijnaldum and Coutinho's long-range shots from the outside were blocked by Crystal Palace players.

It wasn't until the 24th minute of the game that Coutinho sent a cloud piercing arrow 25 meters outside the penalty area and scored directly.

After taking the lead, Liverpool had a chance to kill the suspense of the game, but both Emre Can and Wijnaldum's shots missed.

So in the 43rd minute of the game, Cabaye of Crystal Palace broke into the right side of the Liverpool penalty area and made a cross. Benteke volleyed from the edge of the penalty area to equalize the score.

Liverpool continued to exert pressure in the second half, but neither Coutinho's piercing arrow outside the penalty area nor Lucas' goal rush failed to score for Liverpool.

Frequent wasting opportunities, Liverpool will soon be unlucky.

In the 74th minute of the game, Crystal Palace took a corner kick. Firmino and Matip cleared and kicked all empty, allowing Benteke to rush into the net from close range.

Then Liverpool besieged the Crystal Palace in an all-round way, but it was difficult to break the iron barrel formation of the Crystal Palace.

In the end, the old Liverpool player Benteke successfully killed the old owner.

This made Liverpool fans so angry that they jumped in the stands, and they really came here for whatever they were afraid of.

The next day, April 4, what Liverpool fans feared happened. Behind them, Arsenal and Manchester United defeated their opponents and scored three points.

In this round, Arsenal played against Sunderland, who was last in the standings, and finally won with a score of 2-0.

This is also Wenger's third victory after adopting a three-central defense formation.

This wave of three consecutive victories has made the voice of the anti-Wen faction inside Arsenal a little bit, and even the media praised Wenger with "Arsenal's change is like a broken bamboo".

Some gun fans even said on the Internet that if Wenger had stolen from Conte earlier, maybe they are still in the ranks of the championship.

As for Manchester United, they also defeated Burnley 2-0 in an away game.

As a result, Liverpool, which was originally ranked fourth in the standings, fell out of the top four and came to the fifth position. Arsenal returned to fourth in the league.

After this defeat, Liverpool has no point advantage at all, and has been led by Arsenal by 1 point, losing the initiative to compete for the fourth.

If it weren't for enough goal difference, they would have been squeezed to sixth place by Manchester United, which now has 64 points with them.

On April 4, it will be the turn of Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham.

The first game is Chelsea against Southampton.

As a result, Chelsea lived up to the expectations of the fans. Following their 4-2 victory over Tottenham to advance to the FA Cup final, they continued to easily beat Southampton 4-2.

Tottenham's side is brutal.

Tottenham, who was a guest at the King Power Stadium in this round, slaughtered Leicester City with a score of 6-1, and also achieved a hearty victory.

This is also the first time since April 1989 that Tottenham have won an away game by 4 goals.
It was also the biggest loss for the defending champions in the Premier League since Manchester United lost 2011-1 to Manchester City in 6.

As Tottenham and Chelsea have won this round of opponents one after another, the pressure has also come to Manchester City.

At 19:30 in London time, there are still 15 minutes before the match between Manchester City and West Bromwich Albion kicks off.

After the live broadcast signal was connected, Zhan Jun made an opening introduction and asked with a smile: "Zhang Zhi, recently there has been a lot of debate at home and abroad about the PFA's announcement of the list of players of the year. Who do you personally think has the greatest hope of winning the prize? ?”

Zhang Lu cast a glance at Zhan Jun, answered the irrelevant question, and said, "In fact, as long as we analyze these six players a little, everyone can probably guess the result."

"Oh! How to say?" Zhan Jun said
"First of all, Chelsea's Kanter and Hazard, one is the Premier League steals leader, and the other is the Premier League Premier League leader."

"I can say that without Kanter, Conte's 343 system would not be able to achieve the current effect. It is precisely because of Kanter's escort that the weak link in Conte's 343 formation has become an advantage, so There's no question about Kante's selection."

"As for Hazard, his 14 goals, 8 assists and 82 successful dribbles this season also prove that he deserves the title of best player."

"And Everton's Lukaku, I personally think his performance this season is world-class."

"In the absence of the help of top teammates, he alone accounted for more than half of Everton's team goals. In addition to 23 Premier League goals, he also had 8 assists, so Lukaku's selection is also a matter of course. of."

"As for Manchester United's Ibrahimovic, at the beginning of the season, everyone doubted whether the 35-year-old Ibrahimovic could cope with the fierce confrontation rhythm of the Premier League."

"After most of the season now, Ibrahimovic has scored 17 goals in the Premier League and 28 goals in all competitions. He is the most stable striker in Manchester City."

"Without Ibrahimovic, Manchester United's ranking may be lower than the current No. 6. He can be said to be dragging Manchester United forward."

"So such an Ibrahimovic is also fully worthy of being the Premier League player of the year."

"As for Tottenham's Harry Kane, there is actually nothing to say. He is the second highest scorer in the Premier League with a conversion rate of 36%, which means that he can score a goal with three shots. This is a top scorer. He has scored 28 goals for Tottenham, second only to Chu Zheng."

After saying that, Zhang Lu paused for a moment, and then said: "The last one is Chu Zheng, so I don't need to say more about his statistics!"

"34 Premier League goals and 31 Premier League assists. Please note that Chu Zheng is a midfielder. In addition to this goal and assist data, he is also the player who created the most opportunities, the highest pass success rate, and the most times in the Premier League this season. ... the vast majority of Manchester City's goals."

"Now, do you know where the gap between Chu Zheng and the other five people is? With such god-level data, I personally can't think of a reason why he was not selected!"

"I personally think that after this season, if Manchester City can win the Champions League, then even if Chu Zheng is lacking in the national team, even if Chu Zheng can't break through the record of [-] goals in a single season in the next game, with Now with this data, he can also compete with Ronaldo and Messi for the Ballon d'Or."

"Haha!" Zhan Jun grinned from ear to ear, "After being analyzed by Zhang Zhi, my heart is suddenly enlightened!"

"..."

At 02:45 BJ time, the match between Manchester City and West Bromwich Albion officially started.

West Brom currently has one game less and ranks 45th in the standings with 8 points.

Although there are still 4 rounds left in the Premier League, they have basically no worries about relegation.

Therefore, the fighting will of West Brom players who are guests at Ittihad is not as strong as other teams fighting for relegation.

As for Manchester City, since Tottenham and Chelsea both won, if Manchester City wants to keep the league's first place, they must go all out.

So West Brom was miserable!
Although Guardiola has rotated some players in this game, Chu Zheng and De Bruyne are still on the court.

After the opening, Manchester City pressed across the board and launched a siege of West Brom's penalty area from the second minute of the opening.

But the goal has not come for a long time, which makes many Manchester City fans raise their hearts.

Once they are tied by West Brom, or lost, the current good championship situation may take a turn for the worse.

In the 27th minute of the game, the first goal came.

At the front of the penalty area, Chu Zheng was cruising on the left side of the top of the arc. When he saw De Bruyne running from the middle, he quickly retreated and gave up his position to De Bruyne.

At this moment, Yaya Toure, who was at the front of the 30-meter rib area, suddenly pushed the ball towards Chu Zheng.

At this time, due to Chu Zheng's sudden retreat, West Brom's central defender Dawson behind him followed him, leaving a gap in the ribs of West Brom's defense.

When De Bruyne saw it, he accelerated and rushed.

The moment he started to drill the gap, Chu Zheng, who was behind him, suddenly used his right foot to step back the ball that rolled in front of him and pull it out.

So the ball was passed to De Bruyne by Chu Zheng in this way.

De Bruyne accelerated a pass and went straight to the bottom.

When he came to the sideline of the small penalty area on the left, De Bruyne, who was being chased by the three, made a calm and low pass. The ball hit the goalkeeper's calf and bounced to the back of the goal.

So Sterling, who outflanked at the front of the back post, raised his right foot lightly, and even smashed the ball in without exerting any force.

And this goal also officially announced the defeat of West Brom.

Just 2 minutes later, West Brom's bus at the front of the penalty area was once again torn apart by Manchester City's flexible movement.

It was still Chu Zheng.

After he advanced from the right side of the top of the arc, he used the inside of his right foot to gently pick the ball to the left side of the top of the arc before the two West Brom players facing each other.

After De Bruyne followed up, he shot vigorously without stopping the ball, and the ball went in from the right side of the goal again.

2-0!

With this assist, Chu Zheng also advanced his season record of 97 goals to the [-]th!
It's a pity that Guardiola didn't give Chu Zheng a chance in the second half, and was directly replaced by Fernando at halftime, otherwise this record may be broken again.

In the end, Manchester City easily defeated West Brom 3-0, did not let Tottenham and Chelsea fans expect things to happen, and kept the top position in the Premier League.

I don’t have time to modify it, so I’ll post it first, and then I’ll slowly catch bugs
