I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 153 Beyond the top of the Premier League!

The news that Manchester City won the championship that night had spread all over the world, and the major sports media in Europe also took this big news as the headlines of the next day.

After sweeping Bayern in the Champions League, they beat Liverpool to win the championship. Manchester City, which has attracted much attention after the New Year, has become a well-deserved European focus in the days of late February and early March.

Form makes heroes, the reputation of Manchester City club resounded throughout Europe during this period, and the commercial value of the entire club ushered in a new round of take-off.

Under such circumstances, Manchester City's top management worked with Guardiola to make a new plan for the next stage of the club's development.

In the case of ensuring that the league is safe, Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano further emphasized the importance of the Champions League to Manchester City.

This year is the day when Manchester City launched a further impact on the Champions League. Mansour and Soriano set their goals in the semi-finals. Guardiola, who has just breathed a sigh of relief, is going to a new goal.

With the end of the League Cup final between Manchester City and Liverpool, the eyes of the media and fans have returned to the Premier League.

On March [-]rd, Manchester City, who had just returned to the team for a day of training, faced the challenge of Aston Villa at home.

Ahead of the game, Manchester City captain Kompany showed the City fans their newly-acquired Carling Cup trophy at home.

It caused a tsunami-like carnival from all the fans. Aston Villa players looked at the crazy Etihad Stadium and felt that something was wrong with them. Their momentum was three times weaker before the game started. Points, mess up their position.

Guardiola has rotated all the main players, and even Joe Hart, who has always been unshakable, has been replaced by Caballero. Zhao Jinge and Aguero also sit on the bench to rest.

Originally, Zhao Jinge was still discussing with Guardiola whether he could be allowed to play in this game. Gua Shuai planned to ask Zhao Jinge to go up to collect statistics in the second half.
Unexpectedly, in the first half, Manchester City, led by David Silva, Mane, Sterling and other players, easily poured Villa three goals!
Such a scene made Guardiola feel embarrassed in an instant, and Zhao Jinge himself was a little bit stuck, so he had to sit on the sidelines for the whole game.

In the second half, under the guidance of Guardiola's sophistication, Manchester City did not continue to put pressure on Villa. In the end, Manchester City defeated Aston Villa 20-[-] at home, extending their unbeaten record in the Premier League this season to No.[-] eight rounds .

Now the entire Premier League is paying attention to this record of Manchester City, and the gaming company even opened a handicap for this record. Premier League fans are welcome to actively bet on how long Manchester City's unbeaten record will last?
Thirty rounds, 33, 35, or 38 unbeaten in the season, blocking Manchester City's unbeaten record has become the biggest attraction in the second half of the Premier League this season.
The suspense of the championship has long been over, and now people are looking forward to which round of the league Manchester City will fall!

In addition to paying attention to Manchester City, at the moment when the end of this season has entered the sprint stage, the Premier League's fourth-place competition has become the second most popular topic.

What is surprising is that the biggest highlight of the Premier League's four-legged competition this season is no longer Arsenal.

Since February, in the Premier League, Arsenal first drew with Southampton, which is currently ranked sixth in the league, and then defeated Bournemouth and Leicester City, their biggest rival for second. It was smooth sailing.

But everything changed after the time came to the second half of February. Spring came and Arsenal returned to their familiar rhythm.
They lost the chain once in the rest of the February schedule.

First, he was unlucky to draw with Hull City in the relegation zone in the FA Cup, which led to an extra game for him.
This is absolutely unacceptable for Arsenal, who have a thin bench and are fighting on three fronts.

In this game, Wenger was a little careless. In the case of fully preparing for the Champions League knockout round, Wenger used a substitute lineup to face Hull City.

Originally, I wanted to replace the three main offensive players in the second half and take away the opponent with a wave of onslaught, but Hull City also has a temper!

Tiger City just gritted their teeth and relied on intensive defense to survive to the end, an upset draw with Arsenal!
Relying on their tenacious defense, they directly took Arsenal out of the water. As expected of the relegation team at the end of the season, everyone is a water ghost!
There are no underdogs in the Premier League, and Arsenal suffered a big loss with an inadvertent move.

Immediately afterwards, Arsenal, who played all the main players in the Champions League knockout round, drew Paris Saint-Germain [-]-[-] at home.

Conceded a crucial away goal, the Gunners are going to die again when they are a guest at the Parc des Princes in March!
The UEFA Champions League has just ended, and they returned to the Premier League. They were hit by the Red Devils in the No.20 seven rounds of the Premier League as a guest at the Dream Theater, losing [-]-[-] to Manchester United.

The Rashford had two goals and one assist, and directly stunned Arsenal. In his first match against the Gunners, he staged his best performance in his first season at Manchester United.

Then there was the last round of the Premier League against Swansea. Arsenal were blessed and misfortunes never come singly. They were lore by Swansea at the last moment of the second half and ushered in their own two-game losing streak in the league.

In this period of competition, it can be said to drive high and low, and directly plunged into the sewer.

Although the Gunners' performance during this period seemed to be quite struggling, relying on their outstanding performance in the first half of February, Arsenal barely maintained their second position in the league.

They currently have a total of 53 points, a full 23 points behind Manchester City.

After talking about the ill-fated Arsenal, let's take a look at the three brothers ranked third, fourth, and fifth in the Premier League. They are all teams that will fall out or rush into the Champions League with a slight fluctuation.

The first is Fox City, which ranks third. After selling Kanter and Mahrez, the strength of Fox City has dropped a lot!

Since February, the single-line combat schedule has been easy. They only played five games and achieved two wins, one draw and two losses in the Premier League. Their performance is very average.

First, I beat Liverpool once. I have to say that this year's Liverpool can be described as bullying. Then Fox City suffered two consecutive defeats at the hands of Manchester City and Arsenal, directly defeating Leicester City. Completely lost.

In the next two games, Norwich, which faced the relegation zone of the league, won a small goal, and then tied West Brom, which was a little higher than the relegation zone, two to two.

The strong team can't play, and the weak team is unstable. Fox City, which was taken out of two cores by Manchester City, has long lost its glory at the beginning of the season. It currently ranks third in the league with 51 points.

What is surprising is that the No.4 position was snatched by Tottenham!
In the five rounds of the Premier League since February, Tottenham have won all the remaining four games except for Manchester City. After the lineup is fully adjusted, Bai Lily finally bloomed on the White Hart Lane. !
After a wave of chasing points, they currently have 49 points and become the goalkeeper in the Champions League.

No.5 is Manchester United, which has not stabilized recently after the coaching change. In the recent schedule, they can draw with Chelsea, defeat Arsenal, and kill their opponents in the Europa League round of [-], Midtjylland, etc. Relatively strong team.

It can also lose to relegation teams like Sunderland and West Brom.

Under Ryan Giggs, United are now one point behind Tottenham and firmly in fifth place with 48 points, with Southampton behind them on 45 points.

Liverpool and Chelsea are eighth in the league and tenth in the league. There is not much hope for them.

The performance of the two giants this season is not satisfactory.

If Liverpool is still showing signs of revitalization, Klopp is still working hard to clean up the mess of the Red Army.

Then Mourinho's second out of the palace of the blue team is completely rotten, playing a good hand to pieces!
In general, the intensity of the Premier League's fourth-place competition this season is quite fierce. Leicester City, Tottenham, and Manchester United are only one or two points away from each other.
There is only a three-point gap between fifth place Manchester United and third place Leicester City, and sixth place Southampton is only four points away from the Champions League.

In this situation where there are still ten Premier League games that have not been played, the competition for No.4 in the Premier League can be said to be extremely fierce. After each game, the situation for the fourth place will change drastically.

After two days of rest, on the afternoon of March [-]th, the Manchester City team went to Liverpool again. This is the third time Manchester City has gone to Liverpool this season.

However, the first two times were to play the Toffees. This is the first time they have visited Anfield this season.

Unlike the previous two matches this season, before this match, when Manchester City's bus was heading to Anfield, it was booed frantically by Liverpool fans.

As the home of the famous Devils in the Premier League, every team that goes to Anfield to play will face tremendous pressure, but this time Manchester City feels like they have been targeted. They directly suffered the treatment that Manchester United came here.

After losing the title a week ago, it is clear that Liverpool fans will not treat Manchester City in the same way they would face an ordinary team.

In the eyes of current Red Army fans, Manchester City and Manchester United are as annoying, and there is no good thing in Manchester!

For Zhao Jinge, as a football player, Anfield is definitely a football resort not to be missed.

At present, Zhao Jinge's Premier League goals have tied Alan Shearer's 34 goals and tied for the top scorer list in the history of the Premier League in a single season.

This made Zhao Jinge couldn't help thinking, if he could break the Premier League's single-season scoring record at Anfield, the famous home of the devil in Europe, it would definitely be something worth celebrating!
Of course I want to think about it, but Zhao Jinge didn't intend to speak out about this idea. When interviewed by reporters before the game, when a reporter asked him if he could break the record in this game, Zhao Jinge just smiled and said nothing.

Just kidding, just defeated them to win the championship, and now they are going to break a historic record at their home court. If the Liverpool players know about this, they can't just kick me as a ball!

You must know that Liverpool, which does not seem to be very strong this season, can always break out amazing fighting power at home. Liverpool, which has a poor record so far, has only lost three games at Anfield this season.

The Liverpool players tried their best to defend Anfield from being captured!

Facing such a tough team of Liverpool, who will gain mental bonuses at home, Zhao Jinge was full and took the initiative to provoke them.

At 07:30 on the evening of the match day, Manchester City's match against Liverpool at Anfield officially started.

Zhao Jinge started the game, and Manchester City sent the strongest starting lineup, wanting to win the opponent in one fell swoop just like the League Cup final.

But what gave Manchester City a headache was that from the very beginning of the game, Liverpool's rhythm made the Manchester City team very uncomfortable.

The Liverpool players pulled the tempo too fast, they didn't even care about their mistakes, and relied on running desperately to hit Manchester City's midfield.

Coupled with the huge momentum of Anfield Stadium, Liverpool even suppressed Manchester City for a long time.

Liverpool's players also spared no effort to attack and press in the cheers of the home fans. In the game against Liverpool, Manchester City's midfield organization suffered a containment for the first time.

Henderson led several other midfielders to constantly engage in physical confrontation with De Bruyne and Gundogan, making it impossible for the Manchester City midfielder to control the ball calmly.

This forced Manchester City's frontcourt players to drop back to help the midfielders get the ball and transfer it, and help defend for a while.

For Zhao Jinge, what impresses him the most about today's Liverpool team is the energy. Their lineup is facing various problems, but their players are doing their best to fight for every possession of the ball.

At the end of the kick, basically there was only a competition of willpower left. Zhao Jinge took the ball many times before halftime, and was directly brought down by Mirner, Henderson, and Emre Can.

Occasionally in the hinterland of the penalty area, Lucas and Lovren also used 100% concentration to pinch him, making it difficult for him to find a chance to score.

However, in the second half of the second half, the physically exhausted Liverpool players could no longer maintain the same level of concentration as the previous seven and 10 minutes.

After Manchester City took the opportunity to readjust and come back, they launched a last-minute onslaught!

The second half soon passed halfway. The fans at the scene thought that Liverpool could hold a tie to the end, but they did not expect that Manchester City really showed their fangs in the final stage of the game. Several consecutive attacks pulled Liverpool's defense line It's staggering.

Liverpool is now facing the situation that Manchester City encountered at the beginning of the game. At the end of the game, their players could no longer keep up with the rhythm of Manchester City. After the role swap, the Manchester City players who held back for most of the time let Liverpool know what cruelty is!
"Mignolet, wonderful save! This is already the third world-class save made by Mignolet in a short period of time.

Oh, and Lovren was kissing Mignolet's glove, and it seemed that Liverpool's players knew that without his brilliant performance, Liverpool would have collapsed in the final stage of the game.

Mignolet was delaying the time as much as possible, trying to let his teammates breathe a sigh of relief, the referee came up!He is shown a yellow card to Mignolet.

The pressure on Liverpool is too great, Mignolet can only get this yellow card for the team!
Liverpool took the goal kick, the football flew into the Manchester City half, Firmino lost the header, Gundogan got the ball!
Look at Manchester City's attack, Gundogan passed the ball diagonally to De Bruyne.

The Belgian presses forward quickly with the ball! "

After crossing the center line, De Bruyne continued to take the ball all the way to Liverpool's defensive third area. After reaching Liverpool's defensive third area,
De Bruyne stopped the ball steadily, observed the situation in front of the goal, and then kicked a ecstasy long pass at a position of about 45 degrees on the right side of the defensive third area!

This long pass completely eliminated De Bruyne's demeanor. The football was like a precision-guided missile, drawing an exaggerated arc and flying to a position close to the left side of Liverpool's penalty area.

Zhao Jinge lightly unloaded De Bruyne's long pass on the left side of the penalty area, and then quickly entered the penalty area.

Klein and Lucas rushed out to intercept from left to right, while Lovren quickly followed Aguero who outflanked the goal behind the goal, but Zhao Jinge didn't look up at all, and was determined to pass through the barrier alone.

The three met near the small penalty area. Klein and Lucas carefully kept a distance from Zhao Jinge. Unexpectedly, Zhao Jinge suddenly accelerated. Through the middle.

Mignolet made a decisive attack, just pounced on the football.

At this time, half of the empty goal had appeared in front of Zhao Jinge, and he lightly lobbed the ball into the empty goal in the direction of Mignolet's pounce.

"De Bruyne is really daring to pass! He kicked not far from the midfield! Zhao Jinge stopped beautifully! The football seemed to be on his feet! He didn't pass the ball, and he took the ball directly into it. !"

"GOAL!!!!!! Zhao Jinge! He opened the scoring for Manchester City again!"

"Another personal heroic goal. Three players in the penalty area failed to stop Zhao Jinge. No. 30 five goals of the season!"

"Once upon a time, Alan Shearer's 34 goals in a single season was considered one of the most difficult records in the Premier League, but Zhao Jinge broke this record in only [-] games!

It took him only half a season to become the Bundesliga Golden Boot last season, and this season he has shown even more terrifying abilities!

Breaking the Premier League historical record of 34 goals, he has already done it. His biggest goal this season should be to advance this record to a more distant position and score more than 40 goals! "

Zhao Jinge ran to the sidelines, first he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and made a super-long sliding knee, and then made a gesture of listening to the earth-shattering boos at Anfield!
In this football resort full of historical significance, breaking the most precious scoring record in the Premier League, this moment of refreshment made Zhao Jinge fall into a spiritual climax!
