"Goal!" Ronaldo shouted!

"They actually made it?" Owen looked completely bewildered.

"My God, Tang is amazing!" Diletta's eyes were filled with boundless admiration.

In the 75th minute of the second half, Manchester City finally took the lead, and it was a truly spectacular goal.

On the surface, it appears to be the result of Tang Long's solo dribble, but in the process, his serpentine footwork was inseparable from the running and pulling of his Manchester City teammates.

In particular, Agüero's support for Tang Long was especially crucial in this attack!

Without his initial pass from the flank, followed by his charge into the penalty area after hearing the shouts and drawing De Gea's attention, Tang Long wouldn't have been able to Low-trajectory Curve Shot from an impossible angle.

On this pitch, besides Tang Long, there is another player who is very good at using Low-trajectory Curve Shot, and that is Manchester United's midfield maestro De Bruyne.

However, De Bruyne also realized with shame that while his low passes could rival Tang Long's, their shooting was far inferior.

He couldn't help but feel jealous. "It's infuriating! How can this China guy be so versatile? It seems like he knows every way to shoot!"

After scoring the goal, Tang Long immediately rushed to Agüero and apologized, "Sorry, I didn't pass the ball to you."

Agüero didn't say anything, but hugged Tang Long tightly, punched him in the back, and said, "We're brothers, why are you saying this? Let's cheer each other on and beat Manchester United together!"

Before Tang Long arrived at Manchester City, if there had been a player on the wing who clearly called for a pass to Agüero but ended up shooting instead, Agüero would have been furious.

But things are completely different now!

Although Agüero also struggled internally, and experienced jealousy and resentment;

But now, Tang Long has completely won over Agüero with his goals and superb skills, making the Argentina national team's star striker willingly play second fiddle to Tang Long.

At 28 years old, Agüero's skills have stabilized with age, and his mentality has become increasingly mature.

He felt that everyone fighting alongside him on the field was a brother. It would be great if he scored, but it wouldn't matter if he didn't. As long as the team could win and ultimately take the championship, he would have an indelible part in it.

However, Agüero's last words, "Let's beat Manchester United together," greatly ignited Tang Long's sense of conquest.

He couldn't wait to destroy Old Trafford with more spectacular goals!

So when Tang Long passed by the dejected Icardi, looking at his former teammate who was utterly dejected and soaked to the bone, he uttered a harsh remark. "Mauro, who's the best striker in the Premier League? Open your dog eyes and see clearly, you're not worthy to be compared to me!"

If Ranocchia's defense destroyed Icardi's confidence in scoring in this match;

Tang Long's subsequent words only fueled Icardi's despair about the future.

He even felt that his wife Wanda was right about one thing. "As long as Don is in the Premier League, you'll never win the Premier League title!"

Icardi was in a state of utter confusion. "No, no, no, that's not how it is. There's still time left in the game, we haven't lost yet, why should I be so discouraged?"

He turned to De Bruyne and shouted, "Kevin, keep passing to me! If you pass it in the right place, I'm sure I can equalize!"

He repeated the same words several times to Darmian, Ashley Young, Rooney, and others around him.

But Icardi was disappointed to find that his teammates were looking at him with distrust.

In particular, De Bruyne mumbled something unintelligible, waved at Icardi, and turned to leave.

"You have to believe in me, brothers, I can definitely turn this around!" Icardi's voice almost disappeared into the deafening noise of Old Trafford, as if it had been blown away by the wind.

Manchester United's most expensive transfer finally didn't live to see that moment.

Because just minutes later, Pellegrini made a substitution, replacing Icardi with Bony.

Pellegrini made this substitution because he realized that Icardi had been effectively contained and could no longer contribute much to the team.

At this point, they brought on Bony, hoping to use his impact and lateral movement to see if he could change the situation.

In addition, Pellegrini also made the decision to bring on Ibrahimovic and remove a midfielder, which seems to indicate that he is going all out.

After Ibrahimovic came onto the field, he deliberately went to Tang Long's side and taunted him with a trash talk.

Tang Long immediately retaliated, but he didn't linger on Ibrahimovic. He saw a hint of guilt in Tang Long 'Ibrahimovic eyes, a guilt Tang Long hadn't seen during their previous Community Shield clash.

With just one glance, it was clear who the ultimate winner was!

As they passed by Bony, the two of them spontaneously reached out their hands and lightly touched.

Tang Long and Bony still have a deep friendship, but now that they are on the field, one is wearing a blue jersey and the other is wearing a red jersey, each playing for their own team, it's not really appropriate for them to reminisce.

Leading 2-1, another comeback victory, and this time at the formidable Old Trafford stadium away from home. Should Manchester City stop here and regroup a bit?

No!

Mancini, the legendary manager who coached Manchester City for three and a half years, once said, "When playing against Manchester United, you have to beat them to the bone!"

"You're asking about that 6-1 FA Cup? Well, I'll be frank then. The opponent was Manchester United, and they can score repeatedly. There was a time when they were 0-3 down but won 5-3. We were 3-0 up then, and then Fletcher scored. You can never predict how a game will go, so you can't be soft."

"In Italy, when you score three or four goals, you slow down, you stop, but it's different in the Premier League, so don't think that way."

"Firstly, in the Premier League, you might win the title by having a better goal difference; secondly, your opponent is Manchester United, so if you have the chance, score as many goals as possible. Stopping at this point would be disrespectful. You should strive to score more goals to show respect for your opponent, which shows that you take them seriously."

As a highly successful manager for Blue Moon, Mancini led them to their first-ever Premier League title.

Although many players underwent a major overhaul after Mancini's departure, his statement, "When playing against Manchester United, you must fight them to the death," has been adopted as the club's guiding principle.

Therefore, there's no need to accept it!
