Chapter 125 The end of the season
In the visiting team stands at the White Hart Lane Stadium, about 3,000 Manchester City fans, when they saw the football passing by a rainbow, hanging into a dead corner, and hitting the net, they all stood up, raised their arms, rushed in front of the commentator, and shouted loudly, "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!"
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL-!!!" Sky TV gold medal commentator Eddie Gray roared violently. In fact, after the game began, he had been looking forward to Zhang Yang's goal. Because this goal is of great significance, at the moment when Zhang Yang scored, the long-awaited mood burst out completely. He continued to shout at the top of his throat, "Thirty-five! Thirty-five! Let's remember this number! Remember today's day! On May 16, 2009, the most powerful scorer in the Premier League ever was born. He scored thirty-five goals throughout the season! He is the most powerful scorer in history! The season has not ended, and he may break his own record at any time!!"
Now even Tottenham Hotspur fans at home are giving Zhang Yang a round of applause. Zhang Yang and Tottenham Hotspur have no old grudges, and he led Manchester City to step on Arsenal under his feet, which also made many Tottenham Hotspur fans think that Zhang Yang is a hero.
At this time, the entire stadium was boiling, and Manchester City fans were cheering and applause for their heroes and their number one star. They were shouting: "Long live! Yingxuan! Long live! Manchester City!!"
Listen to the deafening roar, the entire court was almost about to explode, and the Chinese reporters in the media table were also shouting at the top of their voices. Their faces were red with excitement and they stomped their feet excitedly.
Zhang Yang is Manchester City's pride, and this star even won the respect and applause of opponent fans!
And for these Chinese sports media people, this pride has more meaning, because Zhang Yang is their compatriot!
Zhang Yang originally wanted to run down the stage and celebrate the goal with Manchester City fans, but he was surrounded by teammates after running without two steps.
They slapped Zhang Yang, shouted loudly, and shouted at their number one star teammates in excitement.
Modric shouted loudly at the top of his voice, "Zhang! Thirty-five! Thirty-five!... This is crazy!"
Ronaldo also slapped Zhang Yang's head excitedly, "You are too much! You scored thirty-five goals in a season! How can this make me feel good! Whoever calls me 'Alien' in the future, I will blush!"
There are four games on the same time as Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur. At this time, in the live broadcast of the game, an instant subtitle message appears below:
In the 39th minute of the game, Tottenham Hotspur Hotspur scored 2:2 Manchester City, Zhang Yang scored, this is the 35th goal of the Chinese star in the Super League this season! This is a new goal record!
In this case, everyone knows that Zhang Yang completed his 35th league goal this season.
He is the most powerful striker in the Premier League so far!
Arsenal head coach Wenger did not watch the game with his players. He watched the game in the room with the coaching staff, while watching the game and discussing it.
What to discuss? Arsenal's gains and losses this season, although Wenger seemed extremely confident that Arsenal surpassed Manchester City in an interview, but in fact, Wenger himself also knew in his heart that unless a miracle happened, Arsenal would not be able to surpass Manchester City.
Why do you say that? Manchester City has been working hard for a season in the goal of the top four in the league. How could they allow themselves to make mistakes at the last moment?!
Although Wenger said that Manchester City is a new team with no experience and may collapse at the last moment. This analysis may be suitable for other teams in the "creation stage", but it is not suitable for this Manchester City, because Manchester City has a glamorous reputation!
Although Zhang Yang is only 22 years old, he is a player with rich experience in major competitions. When he was in Marseille, he became the team's offensive banner and number one scorer. He almost made Chelsea hate in the Champions League. In Milan, Zhang Yang's experience in growing into a real world-class star. The Champions League and other competitions is no less than some veterans in Arsenal. With such a Zhang Yang, other Manchester City players may be worried about gains and losses due to lack of experience and gains and losses, but Zhang Yang will not!
So, when Wenger privately discussed the match between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur with his assistants, he said that whether Manchester City can withstand the pressure depends on Zhang Yang's performance.
Sure enough, Zhang Yang scored and made a contribution to Manchester City at a critical moment.
In addition, there is another unexpected factor, that is, Ronaldo! This Brazilian veteran who has been labeled as "can be considered for retirement" by many people suddenly broke out, which was something Wenger could not have imagined.
Of course, the most important thing is Zhang Yang. Although Zhang Yang is young, he is already the backbone of Manchester City.
Wenger now has only one idea, that if time can go back, he would never hesitate in the summer of 2006 when facing the 15 million euro asking price in Marseille! He directly signed Zhang Yang! Even the 20 million euros were unimaginable sky-high prices for Arsenal and Wenger, and the professor would not hesitate!
This is the most powerful scorer in the history of the Premier League!
It’s a pity that time cannot go back, there is no if, and there is no medicine for regret.
Wenger sighed: "Missing him may be the last thing I regret in my life..."
In the end, the final score of this game was 2-2. In the first half, both sides scored four goals together, and neither side scored any goals in the second half.
After more than 80 minutes of the game, Manchester City fans in the stands, Manchester players on the bench, Manchester reporters in the media, and Chinese journalists all stood up. They could not wait to celebrate and cheer.
A two-to-two score, a draw, is enough to ensure that Manchester City will be qualified for the Champions League one round ahead of schedule!
From the tenth place in the league last season to the UEFA Champions League this season, Zhang Yang and his teammates were regarded as heroes by Manchester City fans!
Especially after squeezing BIG4 Arsenal down, he was able to qualify for the Champions League next season. Zhang Yang and Manchester City did a good job!
When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the scene was already in full swing. The Manchester City players on the court, Manchester City players on the bench, Manchester City coaches, staff, and Manchester City fans in the stands were all so excited.
Richards even covered his face and started crying. But he really didn't expect to enter the Champions League with Manchester City!
Manchester City's old captain Richard Dunn had even tears in his eyes. In the end, he could not suppress his excitement. He lifted up his jersey to cover his face, "I burst into tears."
Sun Jihai was also excited with tears in his eyes. He was also a veteran of Manchester City. He never dreamed that he could enter the Champions League with Manchester City and play in the Champions League in a Manchester City jersey! This will also be Sun Jihai's first time on the stage of the Champions League!
The day after the game, the whole of England and Europe were talking about Manchester City and Chang Yang.
The English media praised Manchester City and Zhang Yang together, and praised Manchester City for securing the Champions League qualification for next season. They praised Zhang Yang for setting a single-season goal record for the Premier League with 35 goals.
Other mainstream media in Europe mainly focus their reports on Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang broke two records in his first season in the Premier League. One is the Premier League goal record, and he scored seven goals in one game, which is almost an unprecedented record! The other is that in the Premier League, he has scored 35 goals in a single season, becoming the scorer with the most goals in a single season in the Premier League!
"French Football" exclaimed, "He was born to create! After conquering the Ligue 1 and Serie A, Zhang is on the road to conquering the Premier League..."
"Milan Sports" cheered Zhang Yang, "Before the season, people were worried about Zhang Yang's future at Manchester City, and worried that this talented star would be mediocre with this team. However, the season is about to end, Zhang Yang led Manchester City to the next season's UEFA Champions League! He himself set a new Premier League goal record! This Chinese star made everyone look at him again!"
After the 37th round of the league, Manchester United and Liverpool scored 81 points in the Premier League in the 2008/2009 season, Manchester United ranked first with the advantage of goal difference; Chelsea ranked third in the league with 76 points, Manchester City ranked fourth in the league with 70 points, Arsenal's points were 66 points, and Aston Villa's points were 59 points, so Arsenal also locked in the fifth place in the league. Of course, this is definitely an achievement that Arsenal fans cannot accept and are unwilling to face. As for the once dark "dark horse" Aston Villa, they are 2 points ahead of Everton in seventh place, so they cannot be said to have been qualified for the League Cup for the time being.
After Manchester City's away game with Tottenham Hotspur and before the next round of the league, the city of Manchester was immersed in excitement for a whole week. More than 70% of the people in Manchester City were Manchester City fans.
As Manchester City's number one star and as the team's banner, the team's greatest hero and Zhang Yang naturally became the pride of the city.
In the streets and alleys, fans wearing the flaunting No. 10 jerseys can be seen everywhere!

The entire stadium, even almost the entire city, is so lively that it cannot be described in words.
The craziest scene of this game came when the game was 73 minutes into the game.
“ZHANG——GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!”
When you hear this super long GOAL sound, you will know that this is Zhang Yang’s goal!

This is also Manchester City's third goal today!
This is also Zhang Yang's 36th goal in the league this season!

The 'Red Army' Liverpool has been so close to the Premier League championship for the first time in recent years, but it lost to its rival Manchester United in such a very weak and even frustrating manner, and finally ranked second. The entire Liverpool was full of regret and dissatisfaction.
Chelsea ranked third with 79 points, and they won the FA Cup championship, avoiding the embarrassing situation of being empty-handed.

On the second day after the season, the England Football Journalists Association announced the best team for the 2008/2009 Premier League season.
Formation: 4-2-3-1;
Goalkeeper: Van der Sar (Manchester United) - Perhaps other goalkeepers have more and better saves, but the Dutch ran through this long season with intriguing reliability, which may be his last regular main game as a first-team team. Liverpool goalkeeper Renner also performed well, but who made Manchester United beat Liverpool to win the championship.
Defence line:
Glen Johnson (Portsmouth): He successfully joined the England national team of coach Capello, and has always performed well in the struggling Portsmouth team, with no assists or defense, so he briefly attracted Manchester United's interest, of course, if you believe the reports you have seen.
Kompany (Manchester City): He has contributed excellent performances to the team throughout the season. The club's success is due to the offensive line led by Zhang Yang. However, Kompany also made great contributions to the defense line. It is said that Kompany is now the target of Manchester United and Arsenal, but it is not as easy to poach people from Manchester City as it was thought to start last summer's season.
Vidic (Manchester United): Vidic is a jewel in Manchester United's incredible defense this season. He just lost himself in the game against Liverpool. With his Manchester United defense, he is solid and unscathing, and ultimately helps the Red Devils defend the Premier League champion.
Baines (Everton): Everton full-back stood out in the fierce competition with Evra and Aurelio. He dedicated his wonderful performance to the Toffees throughout the season. On his own wing, he has a good defense and strong offense, and is only David Moyes' new achievement.
Midfielder:
Palacios (Wigan Tottenham Hotspur) - The best way to determine Palacios' influence is that he maintains good form in both Wigan and Tottenham. In the first half of the season, he often fought alone in the midfield and transferred to Tottenham at a high price of £14 million in the winter. He tried his best to prove his worth, helping Tottenham escape from the relegation zone and finally make it to the top half of the standings.
Alonso (Liverpool): Alonso is a key figure in the Reds' record this season. Most notably, his ability to control the game has improved the team's playing style. He was almost sold to Juventus last summer, and now there are reports that Real Madrid is eyeing him. If he is allowed to leave, then Benitez is a fool.
Wright Phillips: He grew up at Manchester City and became a club star. Later, he went to Chelsea and lost in London. After returning to Manchester City, Wright Phillips was rejuvenated again.
Gerrard (Liverpool): In the fierce competition with "enemy" Lampard, he was successfully elected as the PWA (Football Journalists Association) Player of the Year. He contributed many goals and assists to the team, ambushed behind the striker and played the role of the second striker, dedicating his terrifying ability to the Reds throughout the season. His performance was inspiring. He fully interpreted his iconic Gerrard moment, won the team and scored a key goal, but unfortunately, he was unable to win any championship trophy in the end.
forward:
Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United): He scored half of the goals compared to last season, but he ranked second in the Premier League scorer list and was a major player in the domestic league, especially in Europe. To be honest, the Portuguese international didn't make much mistake. The speed, strength and precision were maintained throughout the season, both on the striker and on the wing. The rumors about Real Madrid remain to be seen, but now we can admire his ambition to continue to succeed and be able to make it a reality with ease.
Zhang Yang (Manchester City): He is the Golden Boot of the Premier League, with 36 goals, which is a new record! His goal count is almost the second place in the scorer list. World Footballer and European Golden Ball Player Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice the goal. Chinese stars will undoubtedly appear at the best forward position. Of course, the number of goals is not the only criterion for measuring Zhang Yang's achievements. He is Manchester City's flag. The Blue Moon will go to the Champions League next season. Zhang Yang has made great contributions. Chinese stars are the heroes in the hearts of all Manchester City fans. He is a phenomenon.
