"Congratulations to Manchester City! Congratulations to Zhang Yang and his teammates, and to Manchester City fans, they are the 2009/2010 English League Cup champions!!" When Zhang Yang held the championship trophy high, such a voice came out from the broadcast of Millennium Stadium.

Zhang Yang handed the championship trophy to the old captain Richard Dunn. The latter held the trophy high and won the huge cheers from the fans.

Then, the trophy was passed to more people, and everyone wanted to kiss the trophy and lift it up high.

Sun Jihai took over the championship trophy from Modric's hand, and he shouted loudly, "We are the champions!" He shouted three times in a row, lifting the trophy three times. Apart from shouting this sentence, he couldn't say anything at this moment.

Sun Jihai felt that he had no regrets about winning a League Cup trophy before retirement.

The next day, the front page headline of the Manchester City Evening News, which was just published and released, was a huge photo. Zhang Yang was surrounded by countless reporters, holding the trophy in one hand and pointing the trophy in the other hand. He was talking.

The young Manchester City captain issued a declaration: This is our first trophy! There will be many trophys behind it!! Let's wait and see!

Manchester City won the 2009/2010 English League Cup championship, which was the second time Manchester City won the championship trophy in thirty-three years. The city of Manchester has fallen into madness. This madness lasted for three days in the city, and the town hall square in the city center was overcrowded.

Especially when Manchester City returned to Manchester from Wales, the whole city was empty. The crowds of people celebrating the welcome extended from Manchester Airport to Municipal Plaza. The streets where the bus passed were all Manchester City fans. In Manchester, the vast majority of the city is still Manchester City fans, so in the past few days, the color of the whole city belongs to Manchester City's blue!

Of course, the big celebrations of Manchester City fans also made Manchester United fans very unhappy. Some Manchester United fans sarcastically said: I only won one League Cup trophy, and just rode the floats. I was a little proud of it. I was worthy of being a country bumpkin who had never seen the trophy.

Regarding the sarcasm of Manchester United fans, Manchester City fans will talk directly about the next sentence: We are the leaders now!

That's right, Manchester City is the leader in the Premier League standings, while Manchester United is only third, with the Red Devils falling by up to seven points behind the Blue Moon! This is indeed the most powerful weapon for Manchester City fans to counterattack Manchester United fans!

This League Cup trophy is the first championship trophy that Zhang Yang won after coming to Manchester City. Therefore, in the two or three days after winning the championship, Zhang Yang's busiest thing was to answer the phone and receive many calls, all of which were congratulations and thanks. Some were called by former teammates of Marseille, former teammates of AC Milan, some were called by his own good buddies in China, some were called by reporters who wanted to be familiar with, and some were called by some famous football celebrities... Maradona even called to congratulate Zhang Yang. This was a surprise for Zhang Yang. He also wished Maradona's Argentina team to have excellent performance in the South African World Cup.

One week after winning the League Cup, Manchester City lost to Chelsea one-two in the FA Cup quarter-finals and was eliminated from the FA Cup.

Some media criticized that Manchester City had over-celebrated after winning the League Cup, and that the players had not yet emerged from the joy of winning the League Cup, and losing to Chelsea was expected.

But, in fact?!

The joy of winning the League Cup was soon thrown behind Zhang Yang and his teammates. After all, no one could point to a League Cup champion alive.

During the FA Cup match against Chelsea, Manchester City was very upright and played very hard. However, in this game, Chelsea's performance was indeed better than Manchester City.

Lampard scored the first record for Chelsea and Zhang Yang equalized the score for Manchester City. However, in the injury time, Drogba's goal helped Chelsea win Manchester City and eliminate Manchester City.

Although he was eliminated by Chelsea in the FA Cup, Manchester City players were not too frustrated because everything has two sides. Eliminating the FA Cup is not a "good thing" for Manchester City.

Before being eliminated in the FA Cup, Manchester City played in the three fronts of the FA Cup, league and Champions League. Even though Manchester City's bench depth is pretty good, this is quite difficult for Manchester City.

The media analyzed that with Manchester City's current foundation and personnel configuration, if they really want to advance in the third line, then the most likely situation that is waiting for Manchester City will be a very bad situation.

Now that he has been eliminated in the FA Cup, Manchester City only needs to compete in the league and the Champions League. Although fighting on both sides is still a heavy task for this young team, no matter what, it is considered a "burden reduction".

2010.3.10, in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, Manchester City defeated Porto three-to-zero at home!

In two rounds of matches, Manchester City eliminated Porto with a total score of 5-2 and advanced to the quarterfinals with his head held high.

Zhang Yang scored twice in the game and was the biggest contributor to Manchester City's victory. He also scored 10 goals in the Champions League this season!

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the entire Manchester Municipal Stadium could not wait to make a huge cheer!

Two seasons ago, this team was still a mid- and lower-level team in the Premier League. At the end of last season, they ranked fourth in the league and qualified for the Champions League!

Now, they are the Premier League leaders, the League Cup champions, and they have also reached the quarterfinals in the Champions League!

This is simply a dream-like beauty for Manchester City fans!

After the game, the biggest focus is in addition to Manchester City reaching the Champions League quarterfinals, there is one more thing!

That is, Zhang Yang scored the number of goals for Manchester City!

If you don’t count the warm-up matches, only the official matches, Premier League, English League Cup, FA Cup, Champions League and Champions League qualifiers are counted. If you calculate this way, after two goals in the match with Porto, Zhang Yang has scored 99 goals for Manchester City!

This is a pretty terrifying stat!

You know, this is just Zhang Yang's second season at Manchester City!

Moreover, Manchester City did not have European matches last season.

Before the second season ended, Zhang Yang scored 99 goals for Manchester City!

As a cooperative media for Manchester City club, the Manchester City Evening News was the first to count the number of goals Zhang Yang scored on behalf of Manchester City!

When Zhang Yang's goal count reached 90 goals, the media planned the "100-ball commemoration" for Zhang Yang to represent Manchester City!

Now, Zhang Yang has scored 99 goals for Manchester City! The 100 goals mark is close!

Now, all Manchester City fans and Zhang Yang’s fans are looking forward to the arrival of the 100th goal scored by Zhang Yang for Manchester City!

This is a commemorative moment!

Some forwards have exhausted their lives and have no way to score 100 official goals for the team they play for, but it only takes two seasons for Zhang Yang to complete all of this.

After the match with Porto, the media's hype about Zhang Yang's "Hundred Ball Celebration" became increasingly fierce. The media and fans were discussing in which game Zhang Yang would complete his 100-ball memorial for Manchester City!

People are discussing which team will become the unlucky person of Zhang Yang's "Hundred Ball Festival" by then. Of course, it cannot be said to be unlucky person. On the other hand, it is not impossible to say that it is an "honor".

Only one goal is enough to reach 100 goals. After the game against Porto, in the subsequent games, any team from Manchester City's opponents may become the target of Zhang Yang's legend.

The media listed Manchester City's schedule in the subsequent matches.

On March 13, 2010, in the 30th round of the Premier League, Manchester City vs. Sunderland away;

On March 16, 2010, the 29th round of the Premier League was added, Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur;

On March 21, 2010, in the 31st round of the Premier League, Manchester City vs. Fulham away;

According to Zhang Yang's goal-scoring status, almost all media believe that if Zhang Yang did not score a goal in three games, it could be understood as the "doomsday of the world".

Therefore, Sunderland, Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham, these three teams may all become the offerings of the "Hundred Ball Festival"!

Moreover, in the eyes of many media, Manchester City's first opponent, Sunderland, is the team most likely to be scored by Zhang Yang. This is not that Sunderland is weak, but that Zhang Yang is in a very good state now. To be precise, it is that he has always been in a very hot state. It is hard to imagine that Sunderland can stop Zhang Yang from scoring.

Almost everyone believes that Zhang Yang will score a goal in the game against Sunderland and complete a hundred goals he represents for Manchester City!

But what everyone can't imagine is that good things will get worse.

On March 13, 2010, Manchester City scored 0 to 0 Sunderland away! Zhang Yang did not score, and Manchester City did not score either!

In this game, although Sunderland was at home, their tactics were very clear, just to get a point. So Sunderland adopted a strategy of shrinking and defending. You can't say that they actually resisted Manchester City's bombardment and did not concede the ball. They successfully tied Manchester City.

The camera can capture that when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, his expression was a little lonely. Obviously, the Manchester City captain also wanted to complete his 100th goal for Manchester City in this game. Unfortunately, although he worked very hard in the game, he missed the goal.

"Sunderland seemed to be determined not to let his team become Zhang Yang's 'Hundred Ball Festival' and was famous for its name. Therefore, in this game, they seemed to have only one purpose, that is, not let Zhang Yang score a goal! And other players of Manchester City also seemed to deliberately help their captains, and they would pass the ball to Zhang Yang whenever they had the chance. The result was that Zhang Yang did not score, and Manchester City did not score either. They got a 0-0 draw! You should know that they did not score in the last game, which was to go back to the 11th round of the league away game with Birmingham.

There was no goal in the game against Sunderland, and Zhang Yang's "100-ball performance" was forced to postpone.

In this case, a supplementary match three days later, a supplementary match in the 29th round of the Premier League, and a home match between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, became the focus of people's attention!

In this game, Manchester City played at home, and the Times even joked that Manchester City fans might have to thank Sunderland, who blocked Manchester City, which gave Manchester City fans the opportunity to witness their captain's '100-ball performance' at home.

On March 16, 2010, the 29th round of the Premier League was added, Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur.

The game has been in 79 minutes, and the score on the field is still zero to one!

Manchester City fell behind zero to one at home!

Defoe's goal at the beginning of the second half broke the deadlock for Tottenham Hotspur and held the lead until nearly eighty minutes.

"Now, what Manchester City should consider is not to help Zhang Yang score the goal, but to score the goal quickly and at least equalize the score. If they lose this game, they will only lead Chelsea by one point!"

Just as the commentator said this, Sun Jihai blocked Pavlyuchenko's pass with his body, and Modric grabbed Bentley and passed the ball to Tevez.

Tevesla turned around and began to take the ball into the ball. Seeing ACTO coming to defend himself, Teves passed the ball to Elano who came to meet him. The latter did not stop the ball, but passed the ball with a diagonal line. Then people saw Zhang Yang appear on the football line.

Tottenham Hotspur's full-back Baier fell to the ground and slipped the ball, trying to destroy the football. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang saw through Baier's intentions. With a beautiful toe, Zhang Yang jumped up and avoided Baier's tackle. Then, Zhang Yang landed and continued to catch up with the football.

Seeing Zhang Yang getting rid of this beautifully, cheers rang out from the stands of the municipal stadium.

After Zhang Yang passed Byer, he began to dribble the ball and quickly entered.

Tottenham Hotspur’s defense has raised a dangerous alarm!

Facing Tottenham Hotspur center back Dawson who came up to intercept, Zhang Yang pulled the ball forward with his right foot. When Dawson stretched out his foot to intercept the ball, Zhang Yang quickly dunked the ball back, followed a change of direction and accelerated from the other side!

Just after breaking through Dawson, Zhang Yang looked at Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Gomez who was hesitating whether he was going to attack!

Zhang Yang's chest was filled with blood, and the goalkeeper was not threatening him!

His eyes passed through the goalkeeper, saw the net and the goal!

Swing your right foot!

"This is..." Zhang Yang growled, then volleyed violently, "...the first hundredth one!!"

This is a burst shot with great force and extremely fast ball speed. What's even more rare is that the shooting angle is also extremely tricky!

Even two Gomezs couldn't stop this goal!

The football flew into the goal goal at the intersection of the goal post and the crossbar! This is a blind spot in the absolute sense!!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!”

"Goal!Goal!!Goal!!!" When Zhang Yang pulled out this shot and flew the ball high, Sky TV commentator Eddie Gray shouted three times, and the commentator raised his arms and stood up excitedly: "The 100th goal! Let's remember this day and this game! Remember this goal! This is Zhang Yang's 100th goal scored in the official game on behalf of Manchester City! This is just his second season at Manchester City! This is a crazy number! It is hard to imagine how many goals he can score for Manchester City! At this moment, Manchester City fans, cheer for your heroes! Cheer for him! Congratulations, Zhang Yang!"

Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Gomez beat the ground with both hands. He doesn't want to be the goalkeeper of the "Hundred Ball Festival", but he is the poor goalkeeper in the background.

After scoring the goal, Zhang Yang was so excited that he couldn't help himself!

excited Manchester City rushed to the stands, then waved his arms and kept inciting the emotions of the fans. His actions made the atmosphere that was about to explode the stadium even more intense and crazier.

But as soon as he waved twice, his body was pushed to the ground by his teammates coming from behind and pressed to the bottom.

Everyone screamed, and they shouted, "Beautiful job, Zhang!"

"Congratulations, captain!"

"You are the best, Zhang!"

At this moment, the cheers of the entire Manchester Municipal Stadium were overwhelming, and the entire stadium was the hottest place of this active volcanic city that was erupting slurry!

They were shouting:

"Long live! Zhang Yang!!"

"Long live! One hundred balls!"
Chapter completed!
