Fed Goals Until He Was Sick! Four Goals in One Half, and Agüero Wept in Tang Long's Arms!

Diletta, who was in the stands, was on holiday for Christmas.

But seeing Agüero recover from his injury and return to the pitch, with a full 40 minutes left, the entire Etihad Stadium erupted in cheers for him!

She couldn't help but sigh to herself, wondering when Tang Long would ever achieve the same status as Agüero at Manchester City. Perhaps that's the treatment a club's number one star receives.

Her journalistic instincts compelled her to remove the hat that had been covering her completely.

Then he picked up his phone, quickly snapped photos of the ecstatic expressions of the fans around him, and sent them to his assistant at Sky Sport.

"Agüero back! Keep up the good news on social media!"

At the same time.

Raymond, the scout sitting on the other side of the stands, also stopped taking notes and stared intently at Agüero.

He observed Agüero's positioning after he came on, and paid special attention to the distance between him and Tang Long.

Then, open a separate page in your notebook and write down the title "[Agüero]".

[Is the return a bit too early? A player's performance upon recovery from injury will determine the longevity of their career; it remains to be seen!]

Agüero, who was running hard on the field, was unaware that he, along with Tang Long and Ranocchia, had been included in Guardiola's list of key players.

Guardiola will take over Manchester City next season, and in his possession-based system, a striker with ball-carrying ability is crucial.

This striker doesn't need to be tall or strong, but he must be fast, have agile footwork, a good understanding of possession-based football, and high football intelligence.

Agüero was unaware that scouts from next season's head coach were observing him on the pitch, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

Having been away from the field for over a month, Agüero, now back from injury, is like a wolf that has been starving for days, eagerly searching for food to fill its stomach.

This food is the goal!

Tang Long's partnership with Agüero was completely different from his previous partnership with Icardi at Inter Milan.

Icardi is the kind of pure English striker who finishes off easy chances.

Agüero has a wider range of movement, capable of playing both in the center and on the wing. He is better suited for passing and cutting combinations, rather than simply waiting to score in the penalty area like Icardi.

Therefore, when playing with Agüero, Tang Long's burden was lighter, and he was more at ease when it came to passing and controlling the ball.

Everyone knows Agüero's power, so when Agüero kept making runs, the Bournemouth manager on the sidelines was extremely nervous.

He kept yelling at the players, "Mark that Argentina closely!"

He wasn't expecting to get any points at Manchester City's home ground during the Christmas holidays; he was just hoping to avoid a crushing defeat and losing face. Nobody wants to witness their team getting thrashed during the New Year holidays!

However, a gentleman does not grant favors, Agüero quickly delivered a crushing blow to the opposing coach!

In the 55th minute of the second half, just five minutes after Agüero on, Manchester City launched a fierce attack into the attacking third.

Tang Long glanced at Agüero and noticed that he had been standing still in the penalty area. But after seeing Agüero's eyes, he understood that the wolf's opportunity to hunt had not yet arrived, so he chose to pass and move with Sterling on the left wing.

The two players weaved and circled down the left flank, making three consecutive passes.

On the surface, these passes were somewhat sluggish because they were all conducted in a small area, failing to break through the opponent's defense and instead causing the opponent's defensive midfielders, full-backs, and other players to surround them.

"The attack has been a bit sluggish; we should focus more on connecting with the midfield."

Raymond, a scout in the stands, casually scribbled something in his notebook.

However, only half of this sentence was written --

Facing four players closing in, Tang Long was about to coordinate with Sterling to lure one of the players behind Sterling.

In the brief moment that the player was moving, Tang Long suddenly cut inside!

"Look at me!"

With a shout, Agüero took a step back and suddenly sprang into the penalty area like a flying grasshopper!

Tang Long knew that this was a signal from Agüero seeking to cooperate with him.

Continue with the feint!

Tang Long glanced at the goal, feigned a shot, causing the center-back in front of him to lose his balance, and then flicked the ball to his side.

The ball was chipped up, Agüero couldn't stop it easily, so he didn't bother stopping it. Agüero flicked his head and executed a one-two pass in mid-air!

Tang Long was secretly amazed by Agüero's technique, but his feet never stopped moving. After rushing into the penalty area, the goalkeeper was already drawn over. With a light touch of his left foot, Agüero, in the open space in the center of the penalty area, moved like lightning and unleashed a powerful shot!

The moment he saw the soccer ball hit the center of the net, his blood began to boil and explode!

"Agüero! Agüero just 5 minutes after coming on!"

"A perfect comeback! They took the lead right from the start; there couldn't be a more perfect performance!"

Three consecutive non-stop passes!

"Tang Long and Agüero executed a superb combination!"

"In that last open goal Agüero could have easily pushed it in with the instep, but you could tell he deliberately used a powerful shot!"

The fans in the stands went wild!

This Christmas holiday, they not only witnessed the return of the greatest striker in the team's history, but also saw him score a goal. Last season's Premier League Golden Boot is back, and the all -Blue Moon goal-scoring machine of Manchester City has returned to the Etihad!

All of this happened right before my eyes!

An excited Agüero immediately waved for Tang Long to run over, and the two of them stood shoulder to shoulder, pumping their fists at the cheering fans in the stands!

Everyone gathered around to celebrate the goal.

Meanwhile, Raymond in the stands was also completely dumbfounded!

He quickly crossed out the passage he had just written, so forcefully that he even tore the paper.

Even Raymond, with his extensive scouting experience, didn't anticipate Tang Long's next move during this attack.

He even felt a little naive and ridiculous.

It seems that Tang Long's deliberate passing to Sterling on the left wing wasn't to avoid breaking through the opponent's defense, but rather to intentionally draw away defenders and create an imbalance in the number of players in that area.

That perfectly timed cut inside was the most crucial element of this attack!

Raymond also gave Agüero extremely high praise, drawing three five-pointed stars after his name.

As a striker, Agüero possesses a more agile footballing mind. In this attack, he displayed a football intelligence as high as Muller's, but he is faster Muller Müller.

Pellegrini and assistant coach Rayne applauded and celebrated off the field;

Meanwhile, Bournemouth's manager was starting to get a little anxious!

He never expected that Agüero would immediately connect with Tang Long after entering the game.

"Don't just focus on defending Agüero, mark Tang tightly too, that's what I told you before the match!"

The Bournemouth players on the field looked somewhat dejected.

Boss, even with four of us surrounding him, he still managed to find a way to break through. There are four of us! How are we supposed to deal with him?

You can't have four people go up and pin him to the ground and beat him up...

Once Agüero regains his form and forms a synergy with Tang Long, a crushing defeat for Bournemouth will be inevitable, becoming the backdrop for Manchester City fans' Christmas celebrations!

That goal was just an appetizer.

In the 61st minute, a signature through ball once again amazed the fans!

Ranocchia's previous pass was somewhat different; Tang Long this time was more skillful.

He seemed to anticipate the acceleration of the football on the snow and deliberately made a weak through pass.

After the soccer ball bounces off the ground and lands two centimeters later, its speed accelerates!

This time, Agüero's speed advantage came into play. He was momentarily stunned, but then immediately made a diagonal run and sprinted 10 meters to shake off the other defender who was marking him.

Facing the goalkeeper, he unleashed another powerful shot, this time a low one, aimed at the goalkeeper's legs!

3-1, Agüero scores twice in 6 minutes!

The Etihad Stadium is once again buzzing with New Year's excitement!

Even in the bright daylight, fireworks were set off outside the stadium, their banging sounds echoing across the azure sky.

The names of Tang Long and Agüero echoed throughout the stadium like surround sound, a testament to the fans' cheers for their heroes!

Should we guard against Tang Long or Agüero?

Bournemouth's players are gripped by deep self-doubt.

There's no need to doubt that neither of you can defend against it!

If Agüero's first two goals were the result of fast-paced attacks, then the third goal was a contribution from the entire Manchester City team.

After adapting to the snowy field, Ranocchia's passing in the backfield gradually improved, and his ball distribution also showed great composure.

He gradually moved up to the defensive midfield position, directing Toure, Delph, and Kolarov and Sagna on the flanks to pass the ball back and forth.

Bang bang bang!

They made as many as fifteen passes in the backfield.

Raymond, watching from the stands, was thoroughly engrossed. The passing game looked so familiar; it was the same tactic Guardiola used at Bayern Munich.

With his 16th kick, Delph delivered the ball smoothly to Tang Long, who had returned to receive it.

The previous passes were all solid short passes, Bournemouth's players thought Tang Long would continue to pass, but the reason why the game-changers are called game-changers is that they are very good at taking advantage of changes in rhythm.

Bang!

He suddenly accelerated and delivered a straight pass!

The ball bypassed the full-back, and Sterling circled behind him, arriving in a flash.

Tang Long didn't stop after passing the ball, but rushed forward at high speed.

When Sterling saw Tang Long charging towards him, he quickly unleashed a powerful left-footed shot towards the near post.

"Keep an eye on the front!"

Under the goalkeeper's direction, Bournemouth's center-back rushed out, only to be completely outmaneuvered by Tang Long.

He completely fooled them by letting the ball slip through his fingers!

"Pretty!"

Agüero is Agüero. Unlike other Premier League strikers, when he receives the ball, a dozen or so possibilities will flash through his mind in the next second.

Most strikers wouldn't anticipate Tang Long letting the ball slip by, but Agüero did consider that possibility.

He was well-prepared, and facing the incoming ball, although he used his left foot to push the shot, he hit the ball very accurately, and the ball flew into the net again, 4-1!

Agüero scored a hat trick!

At this moment Agüero could no longer suppress his emotions.

He covered his face and wept, his eyes red and swollen. Then he pointed to the sky with both hands in a gesture of respect and murmured to himself.

Compared to his previous two passionate celebrations, Agüero didn't roar much this time.

"We're back! Everything's back!"

"Tang, did you see that?" Agüero turned to Tang Long and said, "Thank you for letting me come back!"

"Brother, you've always been here. You've never left us." Tang Long punched Agüero in the chest.

Bournemouth's manager on the sidelines was getting anxious!

Manchester City, you're something else! Winning is fine, but you had to go and beat us to a pulp! It's Christmas, can't you let me have a peaceful holiday?

In desperation, he substituted two defenders in succession, changing the formation to a six-defender formation.

Pellegrini stood there dumbfounded.

A 6-defender formation?

In his 20-year coaching career, he has never seen a team play against him.

In fact, having six defenders lined up in the backfield is already at its limit; it's extremely crowded. Are they completely abandoning the midfield and preparing to retreat to the goal?

This tactic was indeed effective, as Manchester City failed to score again after that, but the game went on for more than 85 minutes.

Bournemouth players, who had been under constant attack, were at their physical limit and their concentration was waning.

Agüero has been given another great opportunity!

Tang Long intentionally wanted to provide assists for Agüero, so this through ball was a deliberate attempt to test whether the Bournemouth players could maintain their focus throughout the game. This time, Tang Long's gamble paid off!

A clearly intentional attack behind the defense. Normally, a quick-reacting player might be able to intercept it, but they were simply too tired. A moment of distraction and the ball rolled right past them.

Agüero has once again proven to the world what a top Premier League striker's one-on-one skills should be like.

Facing the onrushing goalkeeper, he leisurely slowed his pace, then flicked his toe.

The football drew a beautiful arc in the air, almost grazing the bottom edge of the crossbar, and with a clang, crossed the goal line!

5 to 1!

This time, Agüero rushed to Tang Long, his eyes red, and hugged him, bursting into tears!

"Waaaaah, Tang, I love you more than my girlfriend!"

Agüero held Tang Long tightly, a single belief surging within him:

What's so great about Bony? He scored four goals while I was injured. Now that I'm back, I can score four in the first half too!
