Tevez There is no celebration.

He rushed into the goal, picked up the ball and ran towards the center circle!

Argentina The forward moved very quickly. He trotted all the way with the ball in his arms, placed the ball heavily on the top of the center circle, and then retreated to his own half.

His expression was serious and he didn't want to waste time.

Džeko clenched his fists and roared in the penalty area of Manchester United, and everyone on the bench of Manchester City jumped up.

Mancini shook his fist, but his expression remained serious. He knew that one ball was not enough.

Ferguson chewed gum faster.

He stood up and walked to the sidelines, shouted a few words to the court, and his gesture was "hold on".

Anderson saw it and nodded.

In the 66th minute, Scholes received a yellow card.

Richards was dribbling the ball from the right, and Scholes pushed him from behind. Ginger Head's hand pushed on Richards's back. Richards stumbled, and the ball was destroyed and went out of the sideline.

Marriner's whistle sounded, yellow card.

Scholes has no excuse.

He turned and walked away expressionlessly, without even looking at Marriner, knowing that this card was worth it.

Delayed Manchester City's side attack.

In the 69th minute, Manchester United made a substitution.

Berbatov down, Hernández up.

Mexico jumped up from the bench. He didn't even wait for the fourth official to raise his sign and rushed to the sidelines.

He patted Berbatov on the shoulder. "Leave it to me."

Then he rushed onto the field.

The expression on his face was as exciting as a young man playing for the first time, and his eyes were bright.

Manchester United fans greeted him with applause and cheers. His speed and hard work are the weapons Manchester United needs most at this moment.

The reason for Ferguson is to increase the fulcrum of the penalty area and enrich the offensive level.

Hernández's movement is more flexible and faster. His appearance will bring completely different pressure to Manchester City's defense.

In the 74th minute, Rooney got the ball in the midfield. He saw Hernández's movement and made a pass. Mexico came in from behind Lescott, stopped the ball, changed direction, and passed...

He first dodges Lescott with a kick of his left foot, and then swipes past Zabaleta with his right foot, passing two people and then entering the left side of the penalty area.

From the 20-yard position, he shot hard with his left foot.

The ball flew towards the far corner of the goal. The force and angle were very good, and it was about to go into the goal.

Kompany flew to block the ball from the side. His body came across like a moving wall, blocking the flight path of the ball.

The ball hit Kompany's leg and bounced off the baseline, making a muffled sound.

Hernández put his head in his hands, looked up to the sky and sighed.

He stood in the penalty area for two seconds, then stomped on the turf.

In the 75th minute, Anderson took a corner kick, and Zhang Kuang kept running. When the ball came out, he rushed towards the direction of the ball.

However, Yaya Toure and Kompany jumped up at the same time and crashed into Zhang Kuang.

This resulted in Zhang Kuang, although he hit the ball and completed the attack, but his aim was a little off and missed the upright and flew out of the baseline.

There was a sigh in the audience, and people were very sorry that the goal was not scored.

He Wei: "Ah, what a pity. The goal missed the baseline by just three centimeters after grazing the uprights."

Xu Yang: "It's already very good. Zhang Kuang was able to complete the attack in the air against the double impact of Yaya Toure and Kompany. It's already amazing that he could have such accuracy. The only regret is that he didn't score."

In the 81st minute, Scholes got the ball near the center circle.

His vision covered the entire court, and he saw Rooney starting up on the right.

Ginger Head kicked the ball to the side, and the ball accurately rolled onto Rooney's running route.

Rooney caught the ball on the right sideline, and Richards came up from the front.

Rooney did not force a breakthrough. He buckled his left foot, swung half a step away, and then looked up at the penalty area...

Zhang Kuang is inserting forward.

Rooney made a cross.

The ball drew a high arc and flew towards the center of the penalty area with strong backspin.

The arc is very steep, like a rainbow crossing the Old Trafford night sky.

Zhang Kuang is running.

His movement was very strange. He first took a step back, and then Barry took half a step back.

In this half-step gap, Zhang Kuang suddenly turned around and pierced the center of the penalty area like an arrow.

Hernández took away Lescott and Kompany, and the route Zhang Kuang inserted happened to be the gap between Kompany and Lescott. At that moment, cracks appeared in Manchester City's defense line.

The ball arrived, but Zhang Kuang ran a little past...

Zhang Kuang turned his back to the goal in the penalty area, leaned back, raised his right foot high, and made an overhead hook.

His body was completely stretched in the air, and the strength of his waist and abdomen extended his time in the air to the limit.

The ball fell from a height and landed exactly where his right foot could reach. There was a muffled "bang" sound and the ball hit the center of his instep.

The ball flew towards the upper left corner of the goal like a shell, without any rotation, just a straight high-speed flight path, with a whistling sound that ripped through the air.

Joe·Hart flew out.

His body stretched to its limit in the air, and his left hand stretched out in the direction of the ball. His fingertips were tense, but he couldn't touch anything.

The power of the ball was too great, the speed was too fast, and the angle was too awkward. It whizzed past his fingertips.

The ball hit the net hard and made a "swish" sound.

3:1.

Martin·Tyler's voice was hoarse. "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Zhang Kuang! An overhead goal! This will be one of the greatest goals in the history of Old Trafford!

Rooney made a high-altitude pass, and Zhang Kuang scored directly with an overhead kick in the penalty area with his back to the goal! This ball has no room for saving! Joe Hart didn't even touch the ball! This goal is quite beautiful!"

Rob·Hawthorn gasped and answered, "Zhang Kuang's movement is so smart. He first took a step back to lure Barry away, and then suddenly turned around and inserted into the penalty area.

Hernández contained Lescott. After Berbatov came off the field, Kompany lost the marking target. Everything created space for Zhang Kuang's forward penetration.

But the most important thing is his last kick. Skill, strength and courage are all indispensable. People will still remember this goal ten years from now."

He Wei took a deep breath at CCTV-5, with uncontrollable excitement in his voice. "The ball is scored! Zhang Kuang! An overhead kick! This is a goal destined to be recorded in team history!"

He traveled three thousand miles with his body, and his sword once served as a millionaire. In this game, he scored two goals and made an assist. He carried Manchester United alone to withstand the crazy counterattack of Manchester City, and finally ended all suspense with a world wave."

Xu Yang answered from the side, "Zhang Kuang This barb is too stretched. You can see that his waist and abdomen are exerting force, and the whole body is fully extended in the air without any unnecessary movement.

This kind of shooting requires extremely strong body control. Even if many people can make an overhead kick, it will be difficult for them to keep the ball from flying into the stands.

Zhang Kuang The ball was played cleanly without any sloppiness. This is the combination of talent and training."

Old Trafford The sound got louder and louder. The 100 lucky spectators hugged each other and cried excitedly. Everyone's face turned red. Some of them didn't even know they were hugging the wrong girlfriend.

I was so excited that I kissed her right on the spot. Regardless of whether she was my wife or girlfriend, I kissed her first and then talked about it...

Old Trafford Seventy-five thousand people jumped up from their seats at the same time.

Some people were roaring, some were hugging strangers, and some were waving scarves crazily.

The entire stadium was like a boiling pot, with all the sounds erupting at the same moment, cheers, roars, screams, and songs. All the sounds were mixed together, making the turf tremble and the steel plates of the stands buzzing.

The TIFO of "Your uncle is still your uncle" surged under the light, and Manchester United fans collectively shouted, "Your uncle is still your uncle!"

The sound was as neat as if it had been rehearsed, over and over again.

Zhang Kuang performed a long and passionate slide, leaving three groove marks on the ground. He spread his hands with a half-smiling expression on his face, as if to say, "Did you see it?"

Rooney was the first one to rush over and knock him to the ground, then Hernández jumped up, then Scholes, Fletcher, Vidić... Manchester United players were stacked up one by one.

Giggs rushed out from the bench and ran into the field to join the celebration.

Van der Sar ran over from the goal. He did not join the stack of Arhats, but ran to the substitute area and high-fived the old goalkeeper coach in celebration. A rare exaggerated smile appeared on his face. The two clapped their hands together and the sound was crisp.

Manchester City The away team fans were silent throughout the whole process.

In that blue area, some people sat slumped in their seats with their heads in their hands, some got up early and walked to the exit, and some stood motionless, as if they were nailed there.

The fans of Manchester City and the players of Manchester United couldn't figure out why Zhang Kuang, who had been guarding the whole game, let Zhang Kuang complete the shot? He still made such a wonderful shot!

Mancini is also full of unwillingness, but...

In the 84th minute, Manchester United made a substitution.

Scholes is down, Carrick is up, solid midfield defense, and maintain the lead.

When Scholes came off the stage, the audience stood up and applauded, and the applause lasted for a long time.

Ginger Head patted Carrick on the shoulder expressionlessly, walked back to the bench, and only showed a smile after sitting down.

In the 85th minute, Manchester City made the final counterattack.

Džeko, who had just come on the field, caught the ball in the penalty area and turned around, widening the angle and volleying!

Smalling made a sliding tackle from the side, and his body turned sideways to block the flight path of the ball.

The ball hit his leg and bounced off the baseline, making a dull sound.

Smalling stood up from the ground and patted the grass clippings on his chest, his expression as calm as if nothing had happened.

In the 88th minute, Carrick received a yellow card.

Silva took the ball in the midfield and was about to launch a quick counterattack. Carrick pulled his jersey from behind. The veteran's hand grabbed the corner of Silva's clothes and pulled him to a stop, slowing down Manchester City's offensive rhythm.

Marriner's whistle sounded, yellow card.

Carrick nodded, turned around and walked away without any excuse.

In the 90th minute, Manchester City's last chance.

Tevez caught the ball at the top of the penalty area. He didn't have time to adjust and took a long shot!

The ball flew towards the upper right corner of the goal with strong spin.

Van der Sar flew out, his forty-year-old body fully stretched in the air, and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one palm.

Old Trafford burst into applause - for Van der Sar's save and for Manchester City's final effort.

"Beep--beep--beep--"

The final whistle blows.

The score was fixed at 3:1.

Zhang Kuang stood at the top of the center circle with his hands on his hips, then took a few deep breaths and adjusted his breath.

His jersey was soaked with sweat and stuck to his body.

Rooney came over from the side and patted him on the back and said something.

Zhang Kuang straightened up and looked at the Old Trafford stand. The red sea was surging, the songs were echoing, and the TIFO "Your uncle is still your uncle" was still hanging there.

He grinned.

The whole team gathered around him and hugged him in the middle, Giggs patted his back. "Well done."

Vidić, as the captain, came over, hugged him, and said something in his ear.

Zhang Kuang nodded.

Joe·Hart squatted alone in front of the goal line for a long time.

He buried his face in his gloves, his shoulders rising and falling slightly.

Zhang Kuang glanced at it, a little confused, you are not crying, are you? Did you cry after being beaten? Isn't it? Isn't it just losing a league game?

Lescott walked over and pulled him up. The two stood in front of the goal for a while, and then walked to the players' tunnel together.

Hart wiped his face when he walked through the player tunnel.

Zhang Kuang and his teammates walked around the stadium to thank the home fans. All the 100 fans were extremely excited.

Zhang Kuang nodded to them and thanked them.

Afterwards, Zhang Kuang accepted an interview with reporters after winning the best of the match.

Reporter: "Zhang, congratulations on scoring two goals and one assist in your first game back, especially the wonderful overhead kick at the end. How do you view this game and the outside world's criticism of Manchester United's dependence on you?"

Zhang Kuang: "This is a difficult game. Manchester City is a team that competes for the championship. They are very strong and have world-class players.

Fortunately, we won the game, and the final victory belonged to Manchester United. I was also honored to score two goals and one assist in the game. The luckiest thing was that I scored a wonderful overhead goal.

To be honest, that goal surprised me, but I thought it was reasonable. I thought about it later, and it seemed that nothing I did was as good as my subconscious reaction at the time.

As for the outside world's criticism of Manchester United, I don't think anything of it. I have said it before on social platforms. Everything the King does is noticed by people, and even a small mistake will be magnified.

For Manchester United, we have to get used to this. China There is a saying that "If you want to wear a crown, you must first accept its weight." It means that if you want to be an emperor, a person with a very high position of power like a king, then you must first learn to withstand the pressure of an emperor or king.

If you can't bear such pressure, then you are not a qualified emperor. You should give up the throne as soon as possible and let a talented person be the emperor.

Manchester United is not the kind of team that cannot bear the weight of the crown, because Manchester United has always been the king, so we are very gentle with the criticism from public opinion and don't think it is a big deal."

Reporter: "Wow, Zhang, you should be the spokesperson of Manchester United. OK, thank you for accepting the interview, and I wish you a happy life."

In Sky Sports's studio, Andy Gray and Jack Redknapp looked at each other and pursed their lips.

Andy: "Okay, fans and friends, have you seen this? The reporter in front of us interviewed the prince of Manchester United, and his answer was so domineering."

Jack: "Hey, if you want to wear a crown, you must first accept its weight. This is a good saying, yes, it is really good. This is the ability and magnanimity that the king of a country should have.

Zhang Kuang said that Manchester United is the king of Premier League, so it is appropriate and calm to face the pressure from all parties. His explanation in just a few sentences showed us the momentum of a king. I think there is no team in Premier League that has such momentum."

Andy:"Western players cannot say such things..."

Post-match press conference.

When Ferguson walked into the press hall, he had a smile on his face that could not be hidden.

He sat down, crossed his hands on the table, and his first sentence was. "Zhang Kuang This overhead kick is the most wonderful goal in the history of Old Trafford. In my 35 years of coaching Derby, I have never seen such a perfect winning goal."

Rooney's assists are also top-notch, but everyone will only remember Zhang Kuang's world wave. Manchester City played well enough and deserved a draw, but football matches need decisive moments, and we seized the only opportunity.

This victory allows us to continue our winning streak at home, and the initiative to compete for the championship is firmly in our hands."

When Mancini walked into the press room, his expression was calm, but there was helplessness in his voice. "Zhang Kuang's goal was so perfect, you can only applaud this genius performance.

Zhang Kuang is really difficult to guard. We have formulated a defensive plan so carefully, but he can still score 2 goals and 1 assist. I don't know which other team in the world can guard him.

In the first 30 minutes, we suppressed Manchester United. If not for Zhang Kuang's heroic performance, we should not have lost the game.

The team tried their best, but in the end they were defeated by individual talent. There is little hope of winning the championship this season. Tevez and Silva played perfectly, but they just lacked the luck of the final blow."

After the game, Zhang Kuang, under the guidance of a staff member from the brokerage company, went to meet the one hundred fans who were lucky enough to win the lottery.

It's just... why do some people have bruises on their faces? They were fighting among themselves?

"Cough!" The staff member coughed slightly and explained softly in Zhang Kuang's ear.

Zhang Kuang was extremely shocked. A dozen of these 50 couples fell in love with other people's couples, kissed each other on the court, and even went to the toilet to have sex?

Is there such a thing?

Then he had good intentions and did bad things?

This...

Fortunately, the fans did not blame Zhang Kuang. They were very excited when Zhang Kuang arrived. They took photos with Zhang Kuang and asked for Zhang Kuang's autographed photos.

After spending nearly half an hour interacting, Zhang Kuang asked the staff to modify the subsequent lottery rules. Instead of giving two tickets to the winner, one ticket would be given to each winner.

After that, Zhang Kuang's social platform came out with new rules, and all the fans were confused. Fortunately, a winning fan posted a photo and explained the reason, and everyone suddenly understood.

These have also become jokes and news selling points for the media, and many media have reported on them.

"The Sun" front page. "Chinese Zhang kindly gave away tickets, but..."

The front page of "Sky Sports": "Zhang Kuang's shocking barb, the derby victory shattered Manchester City's championship dream".

Comments: Jin Yuan Manchester City still cannot overcome the curse of Manchester United Derby. A genius can decide the entire derby in an instant.

"The Guardian": "Trident combined, Manchester United is still the same Manchester United", evaluated Zhang Kuang's barb as the iconic goal of the Premier League era.

"Manchester Evening News" Red Devils version. "Zhang Kuang has two goals and one assist, Red Devils continues to hold the top spot".

Blue Moon version. "Luck and genius, double strangled Manchester City".

A Manchester Derby completely changed the direction of public opinion.

The jeers and gloating when losing to Wolverhampton Wanderers were gone, replaced by worship of "The Return of the King".

Zhang Kuang's famous saying "Your uncle is still your uncle" has spread all over the world!!!

From Manchester's pub to Madrid's bar, from Milan's fan forum to South America gangster's WhatsApp group, everyone heard this declaration with a strong Chinese domineering tone.

Even the gangsters of South America fell in love with this sentence and often used it to ridicule the failed newcomers who wanted to challenge the old overlords.

Manchester United is back on that unstoppable track.
