On the next day, the front page title of The Times: "The Best Perfect First Show".

"In this highly-watched game, Zhang Yang used three goals and one assist data sheet to tell us why he is worth 75 million pounds. For players who first arrived at a team or a league, even if we had known the strength of a star of Zhang Yang's level, such a debut can still be described as perfect. We can no longer ask Zhang Yang to do better. Look at Martin O'Neal's loss after the game, you will know how outstanding Zhang Yang did in this game."

Later in this report, there was an article written by Times reporter James Wade in his column. He told the conversation between the two when he interviewed Zhang Yang, and said: From here, I think I have more accurately learned the character of this talented star. As he said, he only plays for the fans of his team and brings them happiness. As for the fans of his opponents, he really doesn't care. This is why he is always so easy to become one of the people he dislikes the opponent's team. However, we cannot deny his strength and influence. Even the fans who dislike him the most must admit that this is a great guy. Moreover, they have always longed for their team to have Zhang Yang, because becoming a fan of Zhang Yang must be a happy event.

James Wade's special comment was later reprinted and quoted by many media outlets. In the following days, this reporter became the reporter with the deepest relationship between the entire Fleet Street and Zhang Yang. This is not to say how good his relationship with Zhang Yang is, but because James Wade seems to be obsessed with analyzing Zhang Yang. He not only analyzes Zhang Yang's performance from a technical perspective and analyzes Zhang Yang's status, but also is particularly keen on analyzing Zhang Yang's character and behavior. James Wade does not firmly support Zhang Yang or simply criticize Zhang Yang. His fun seems to be only analyzing.

, analyze Zhang Yang. Moreover, his analysis is very popular among fans. Whether those who like Zhang Yang or those who hate Zhang Yang, they can find reasons to like Zhang Yang more or hate Zhang Yang more. This also made James Wade soon become a famous reporter in the circle, from a low-profile reporter to a famous reporter, and later published a book. In fact, James Wade was just one of the media people who were deeply influenced by Zhang Yang. After coming to the Premier League, he benefited a lot from the entire Fleet Street. Of course, this is a story later.

At this time, Manchester City, which had a good start in the new season, returned to Manchester.

In the first round of the 2008/2009 season, only Manchester United won the Premier League semi-finals. They were tied 1-1 by Newcastle at home.

Arsenal won 1-0 at home with a small victory over the newly promoted team West Bromwich. This is also the opening match of the new Premier League season kicked off at the Emirates Stadium. This stadium made Arsenal's finances, which was already cautious, almost stretched, but the game that happened in this stadium is always the focus. This game is no exception. The Gunners maintained their usual style, and Wenger unexpectedly sent a double-high combination of Bentner and Adebayo. Obviously, the French are more willing to put Adebayo, who has strong impact, strong individual combat and harassment capabilities, as the free attacker. However, Bentner's performance in this game was not outstanding, and the Gunners' two new players in the middle of the field,

Brazilian De Nielsen and right-back Ebue - interestingly, the latter has been defined as a midfielder in Arsenal's official website - performed well. In less than 4 minutes of the first half, the Gunners' typical triangular-style low pass push on the left created the goal; the French international Nasri scored a low shot, and the passer was midfield recruit De Nielsen. Since then, Ebue has shown a midfield harassment ability that is no less than Marclayle's, and the game is very fast, but unfortunately, the Gunners have not expanded the score since then, but almost allowed their opponent, West Bromwich to equalize the score. This reveals that the Gunners' defense problems have not been fully improved.

Liverpool beat Sunderland 1-0 away. Liverpool's game was sleepy, Robbie Keane did not see the value of tens of millions of pounds, while Benitez's team's ugliness continued on the court. If it weren't for Torres' flash, Liverpool would have to get a draw. And the undead black cat Sunderland would have scored one point at home! To be honest, they deserved a point. Mourinho said before the start of the season that Liverpool was optimistic that Liverpool would become a powerful winner of the Premier League champion this season. Fortunately, Liverpool staggered and did not slap Mourinho in the face.

However, Arsenal and Liverpool won very hard. The most outstanding Chelsea, they launched a strong impact on the Premier League crown in the 2008/2009 season with a refreshing victory at their home Stamford Bridge Stadium. Chelsea defeated Portsmouth four-0 at home. The terrifying Chelsea coached in Scolari and introduced Deco. After the introduction of Deco, the slant passes and the rush was gone. The ground transmission and midfield control that cheered fans and the media, as well as the interlude between the two sides, made Portsmouth, who was already much inferior, unable to resist. After the first half, the Pompeii army lost three times in the city gate, which had already announced the end of the game. Deco's world wave at the last moment was just a signal. Chelsea warned everyone with a big victory.

However, in addition to the traditional semi-finals of the Premier League, Manchester City's four-to-two away victory over Aston Villa also shocked many people.

After the game, the Guardian commented on the first round of the game with the title "Seventy-five million pounds of Mr. Director of the New Premier League" and said, "Mr. United's defeat in one game revealed that this Manchester United team did not know what people thought it was invincible. Cristiano Ronaldo was not in good shape. In Manchester's other half, Zhang Yang led Manchester City to a gorgeous game. Before the season, when Manchester City executives expressed their lofty ideals, everyone scoffed at it. However, looking at Zhang Yang's performance in the first round of the game, we have to remind the top four of the Premier League. Perhaps Manchester City is far from qualified to compete for the championship, but as a disruptor, he is still competent."

The Mirror commented: "There are many attentions, the Premier League is back. In the summer transfer market, Berbatov transfers to Manchester United with £30.5 million, Modric transfers to Manchester City with £25 million, and of course Deco transfers to Chelsea, Robbie Keane transfers to Liverpool. In addition to Arsenal still tightening its money, the transfer market is in full swing. Of course, the most worth mentioning is that Zhang Yang came to Manchester City from AC Milan. Because of these, we have too many reasons for your new season: Can Scolari's Chelsea recover the lost ground? Can Manchester United leave Cristiano Ronaldo at the last moment? If Cristiano Ronaldo is Cristiano Ronaldo?

If you leave too much, who will carry the banner? Can Liverpool really take off once? What variables will Manchester City, which invested more than 100 million pounds, bring to the Premier League? Will Arsenal's fourth place in the league be squeezed out by teams such as Tottenham and Newcastle? At least, from the situation in the first round, the power of the gold dollar is extremely powerful. Manchester City, which is really spending money crazy, conquered Villa Park Stadium under the leadership of Zhang Yang. Scolari's Chelsea led another big victory. This is the first round of the league and the most worth mentioning of the two teams. They have one thing in common, that is, they are all rich, willing to spend money, or they were once willing to spend money."

The strong strength Zhang Yang showed in the first game had a strong impact on the English football world, causing the Zhang Yang fever in the Premier League to continue to heat up. After returning from Birmingham away, Manchester City's training base became more crowded when he was training because Zhang Yang came to Manchester City. During the training the next day, thousands of fans came to watch, including a large number of Chinese fans. Many fans came from all over England, and some fans came from Germany or France. Because it was not easy to come, some fans even lingered for a day and refused to leave, just to see more Zhang Yang's training, cheer for him and encourage him.

Zhang Yang also took great care of his compatriots, and whether it was autograph or photo-taking requirements, they were painfully satisfied. The climate in the UK is changing in summer. It was raining and sunny. Zhang Yang saw that some fans did not bring rain gear and paid out of their own pocket to buy a batch of raincoats with the Manchester City Club emblem printed on it from the Manchester City Club store to give them to these compatriots. This touched everyone. These raincoats were also treasured by them. Many years later, they still felt a sense of emotion and pride.

The day after the game, Zhang Yang's performance in the Premier League also became the focus of reports from major domestic media, and there were also very heated discussions online.

In domestic reports, it is hard to describe it with no stingy praise. It can be said that the media has used all the words to praise the players that can be thought of to describe Zhang Yang. Although this is just an ordinary Premier League game, Zhang Yang did not have such a performance on the first day. When he played for AC Milan last season, his performance was even better than this, whether it was eliminating Barcelona or eliminating Arsenal.

However, there was no way. After a summer, the European football world finally rekindled the war. The fans were waiting to watch Zhang Yang's game and cheering for him, but they could not wait.

Not only cheering for Zhang Yang, because of Zhang Yang, many domestic fans have become Manchester City fans now. With Zhang Yang's perfect performance in Manchester City's Premier League debut at Manchester City, the Manchester City fever in China continues to heat up.

A week later, Manchester City will usher in the second round of the Premier League in the 2008/2009 season at its own home court, with the opponent being the "Harm Gang" West Ham United.

In major cities such as Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou, travel agencies have even begun to promote Manchester tourism routes, with the focus being to watch the Yang game at the Manchester Municipal Stadium.
