Zhang Kuang's answer is not modesty, it is a fact, because at present, whether Manchester United fans or his Zhang Kuang personal fans, the minimum bottom line requirement for him is to average more than two goals per game, so he meets everyone's minimum requirements, which is just qualified.
Alas, Zhang Kuang is also depressed, but he can't blame the fans for being too demanding. He can only blame himself for raising his data too high, and then letting everyone's requirements for him become a minimum of two goals per game.
Fortunately, he is a cultivator with Burden System. If you put it on any normal ordinary star, think about how much pressure they have? How can ordinary stars guarantee to average at least two goals per game?

At the post-match press conference, when Ferguson walked into the press conference room, the smile on his face had not yet completely disappeared. He sat down, chewed gum, and glanced at the crowd of reporters in the audience.
Reporter: "Jazz, congratulations. You won the game 3-2. It was a wonderful derby. How do you evaluate this game? What do you think of conceding two goals?"
Ferguson chewed gum twice. "Wonderful? I think it's okay. We should have scored four. Zhang Kuang scored three goals today, but he could have scored four. Joe Hart performed very well today. He at least saved one of Zhang Kuang's must-goals.
I don't think it's a big deal to concede two goals. Manchester United's recent games have been intensive, and the players' status has been a bit up and down. This is one reason. Secondly, there are more important games later. There is no need to spend too much energy in a league that has already won the championship. Injury will affect the two important finals.
Therefore, we just need to win, there is no need to pursue perfection. Today's result has achieved our goal, and I am very satisfied."
Reporter: "Zhang Kuang has scored a total of 90 goals in the league. There are two games left. Will Manchester United help him complete the league record of 100 goals?"
Ferguson's eyes lit up. "We will try our best to do this, but there is no guarantee that we can complete it. After all, there are only two games left in the league, and averaging five goals per game is a super problem. However, it doesn't matter even if this season is not completed. The team will fight again next season to help Zhang Kuang achieve this goal."
Reporter: "Jazz, you mean you will continue to coach Manchester United next season, and Zhang Kuang will not transfer?"
Ferguson smiled, "As long as there is no big accident, it should be like this."
Reporter: "But there have been rumors that you have designated a successor as the head coach. Doesn't that mean you are retiring?"
Ferguson: "As you said, those are just rumors."

When Mancini walked into the press hall, the expression on his face had returned to calm. He sat down, crossed his fingers, and lowered his eyes.
Reporter: "Robert, what does the score of 2-3 mean? Are you satisfied with the result? How do you evaluate this game?"
Mancini was silent for two seconds. "The score of 2:3 means that we lost. Of course, the score also tells us that the gap between us and Manchester United is already very small.
We are not able to beat Manchester United this season, but I believe it will be different next season. Manchester United cannot always be strong. Sir Ferguson coached Manchester United for 26 years, but in fact he only won 13 league championships, and Manchester United lost the championship half of the time.
Therefore, we believe that no matter how strong Manchester United is, it will not be able to continue to win continuously. As long as Manchester City insists on investing and adhering to good methods, we will always have the opportunity to replace Manchester United and become the new king of Premier League.
Ferguson is retiring, and Zhang Kuang cannot stay at Manchester United forever, so what will happen to Manchester United after losing Ferguson and Zhang Kuang? No one knows.
Of course, I hope that Sir Ferguson and Zhang Kuang will still be in Manchester United next season. I like to unseat the strongest Manchester United."
Reporter: "Will Manchester City support you in coaching until Ferguson retires and Zhang Kuang leaves Manchester United?"
'Pfft' I don't know which reporter laughed, and then everyone burst into laughter.
Mancini was so angry that he slapped the table hard. "The release meeting is over."

Manchester Derby is indeed exciting, but its attention only lasted for two or three days. After the game was over, the popularity gradually disappeared. After all, there are more games for fans to pay attention to.
For example, relegation battles, promotion battles, other leagues, etc., there are countless football matches that require fans' attention every day.
Even so, every bit of news in football will be discussed and remembered by many fans.
No, within two days, fans who followed Premier League, Manchester United and Zhang Kuang immediately became lively again.
Because on May 5th, Wembley Stadium.
Manchester United will face off against Liverpool to compete for the championship of Football Association Cup.
This is the 12th time in the history of the England Football Association Cup finals that "North West Derby" appears.
In the previous 11 times, Manchester United had the upper hand with 6 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. But in the last two finals of Football Association Cup, Liverpool won both.
Zhang Kuang said in an interview before the game, "I like playing with Liverpool, because after joining Manchester United, we have been winning, and I believe we will win again this time."
This sentence appeared on the front page of "Liverpool Echo" the next day, with the title. "Zhang Kuang: Liverpool, we will win again."
Liverpool fans are angry on social media.
Some people say Zhang Kuang is "arrogant", some say he "doesn't respect his opponents", and still others say he "will suffer retribution sooner or later".
But Manchester United fans are very happy. They reposted Zhang Kuang's interview like crazy on social media with the text. "This is our No. 33. This is Eastern God of War."
On May 4, at the pre-match press conference, Dalglish was wearing a dark gray suit with a serious expression. He sat in front of the microphone and glanced at the reporters in the audience.
Reporter: "Kenny, Football Association Cup final, North West Derby. How did you prepare for this game? How did you watch Zhang Kuang's pre-game provocation?"
Dalglish was silent for two seconds. "This is the Football Association Cup final, this is North West Derby. This is England the most important football match. It does not require any additional mobilization. My players know what to do and do not need to deliberately prepare."
As for Zhang Kuang, I won't comment. You said he was trying to get angry at Liverpool before the game, or he was provoking Liverpool's players and then lost control on the court.
Liverpool will not be affected by him. Liverpool has its own rhythm and its own way. We have our own plan for the championship."
Reporter: "How do you plan to prevent Zhang Kuang?"
Dalglish's expression changed subtly. "Zhang Kuang is indeed difficult to guard against, but Suárez is equally difficult to guard against. Therefore, we will try to make as few mistakes as possible and create as many offensive opportunities as possible."
On the other side, Ferguson's answer was brief. He sat in front of the microphone, chewed gum, and glanced at the reporters in the audience. "Tomorrow's final is one of the fruits that Manchester United should reap after working hard all season.
We will do our best, and we will not allow any mistakes, and we will not let the fruit that is almost in our mouth be lost. Therefore, I gave a fatal order to all the players. We must win the championship tomorrow. If anyone makes a mistake, there will be corresponding punishment next season."
A reporter asked, "What is the specific punishment?"
Ferguson chewed the gum twice. "This must be kept secret."
Reporter: "Jazz, Suárez has performed very well this season against Liverpool and has a strong impact. How does Manchester United defend him? Have you formulated a special strategy?"
Ferguson: "Of course there are special strategies. Suárez is a player at the level next to Zhang Kuang, Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo. He is quite threatening. We have studied his characteristics and will try our best to limit his performance."

After the head coaches of both teams were released before the game, they each prepared carefully for the game.
That night, the members of both teams were strictly restricted in their diet, work and rest time, in order to be in the best condition to play the game the next day.
May 5, 2012.
Location: Wembley Stadium, London
Audience: 89,000 people (full house)
Event: 2011-12 season England Football Association Cup finals
Referee: Howard·Webb (Yes, it's him again. He just finished judging Manchester Derby and came to enforce Football Association Cup again.)
Historical significance: This is the 12th time in the history of Football Association Cup finals that "North West Derby" has appeared. In the previous 11 times, Manchester United had the upper hand with 6 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses.
But in the last two Football Association Cup finals, Liverpool won both. The last time Manchester United defeated Liverpool in the Football Association Cup finals was in 1999, when Manchester United won 2-0.
In the Sky Sports studio, Martin·Tyler adjusted his tie. "Hello everyone, welcome to the Wembley. Football Association Cup finals, Manchester United versus Liverpool. I am Martin·Tyler, and next to me is Gary·Neville."
Neville leaned on the back of the chair. "Hello everyone, I am Gary·Neville."
Martin: "Gary, this game is the final of North West Derby. Football Association Cup. What do you think is the biggest highlight?"
Neville thought for a while, "Of course who can win the championship, and also to see how many goals both sides can score, and also to see how Suárez can perform against Manchester United."
Martin:"Then what can you predict the score will be?"
Neville thought for a while, "I won't predict anymore, I'm not good at this. But I think this game may be very open. Manchester United's offense is too strong, and Liverpool's offense is not bad either. It may be a goal battle."
Neville: "You said the same thing Manchester Derby in the last game, and you said the same thing again in this game. Fans who don't know better will think that I will show the video of the previous game, or copy and paste the wrong speech."
Neville: "Haha, yes, what I said seems to be a bit repetitive, but there is no way, Martin, you have to know that I am just a football player with low education, not a big journalist who graduated from professional broadcasting and hosting. I have rich expressions and can express myself differently every time."
Martin: "Okay, let's take a look at the starting lineup..."
In the studio of CCTV, there is a stack of information in front of He Wei, next to Zhang Lu. The background is a panoramic picture of Wembley Stadium, and the red seat is particularly eye-catching under the light.
He Wei: "Good evening, audience friends. Welcome to the 2011-12 season England Football Association Cup finals, Manchester United vs. Liverpool. My name is He Wei, and the person commentating with me today is Director Zhang Lu."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, hello, viewers."
He Wei: "Director Zhang, Football Association Cup finals, North West Derby. What do you think is worth paying attention to in this game?"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, the biggest focus is of course Zhang Kuang. His state is directly related to the outcome of the game, but he is stable enough, so it mainly depends on whether he can perform super well or have a wonderful performance.
The defense line of Liverpool and the central defender combination of Škrtel and Agger have enough experience, but their speed is slow. Once Zhang Kuang rushes forward, they can't keep up at all."
He Wei: "What about Liverpool's offense? Suárez is in good shape recently."
Zhang Lu: "Suárez is indeed very strong, almost among the top players in the world. His speed, breakthrough, and shooting are all at the top level.
But the question is whether Liverpool's midfielder can give Suárez enough support. Gerrard and Henderson, one is responsible for organization and the other is responsible for defense.
If Henderson is restrained by Zhang Kuang, it will be difficult for Gerrard to take care of organization and defense at the same time."
He Wei: "So you mean, Manchester United has greater advantages?"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, the advantage is definitely on Manchester United's side. But Football Association Cup's final is a decisive game. If Liverpool kicks crazy, anything can happen. However, with Zhang Kuang here, Manchester United's chance of winning is at least 70%."
He Wei: "Seventy percent? So high?"
Zhang Lu: "Look, Liverpool's defense line, Škrtel and Agger have enough experience, but their speed is slow. Once Zhang Kuang charges up, they can't keep up. Unless Dalglish arranges a defensive midfielder to guard Zhang Kuang, Zhang Kuang will score at least two goals today."
He Wei: "Then we'll wait and see. Okay, the players from both sides are ready to enter the stadium. Let's take a look at the scene. Then we will introduce the starting situation of both sides..."
At this time, the TV screen not only showed the entry process of the two teams, but also the starting information of both teams released by the TV station.
Lineups for both sides:

After the introduction, the process was also completed, the players each stood at their positions, and the referee Howard·Webb lowered his head to check his watch.
Martin said in the studio, "Howard·Webb, he has been stealing the spotlight recently and has officiated many important games in a row."
Neville: "Yes. But Webb is an experienced referee, he knows how to control the game. Moreover, this is the Football Association Cup final, Wembley, 89,000 people. He can't let the game get out of control."
At this moment, Howard·Webb blew the whistle in his mouth!
"Beep--!"
The game officially begins.
He Wei: "Okay, Webb blew the whistle for the whole game. Audience friends, the final of the 2011-12 England Football League Football Association Cup has officially started. The two sides of the game are..."
The hosts introduced passionately, and the game on the field also started enthusiastically. The players started running at high speed like a clock that had been started.
The two sides didn't make any adjustments or attempts, they just tried to attack after getting the ball.
In the 4th minute, Liverpool took the lead in creating a threat. Gerrard passed through the middle, Suárez turned around and volleyed from the top of the penalty area, and De Gea fell to the ground and confiscated the ball.
Suárez punched the air regretfully, and then extended his thumb towards Gerrard.
Martin: "Suárez's shot is very threatening, but De Gea is very focused. Liverpool entered the state at the beginning, and their passing and control rhythm is very fast."
Neville: "Liverpool played very proactively today. Dalglish obviously didn't want to be conservative while Wembley. But the problem is that after they press forward, there will be more space left for Zhang Kuang behind them."
Martin:"They want to steal the show..."
In the 11th minute, Liverpool and Downing, who were attacking just now, were grabbed by Carrick. Carrick passed the ball to the guest midfielder nearby. Phil·Jones, Phil·Jones directly passed the ball, Hernández got the ball and moved forward.
He glanced at Zhang Kuang but did not follow, but Rooney was already running. Facing the blocked shooting route, Hernández had to pass to the right to Rooney. Rooney did not stop the ball and directly volleyed the goal.
Manchester United 1-0 Liverpool.
The ball was scored, but the audience saw Manchester United's left wing, and Zhang Kuang was entangled with Speason. What happened?
Martin's voice roared, "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Rooney! Hernández assisted, Rooney followed up with a volley and scored! 1-0!
Manchester United is leading! This is Manchester United! This is Rooney! He opened the scoring for Manchester United on the stage of North West Derby!"
Neville: "It seems that Zhang Kuang had some conflict with Liverpool's midfielder Spearing on the left... Then Liverpool's energy and defense were neglected."
Martin: "Ha, yes, wait and watch the replay to see what happened, but Liverpool lost the ball. This is their loss."
At this time, a replay was played on the TV screen. It turned out that after Carrick intercepted the ball, Zhang Kuang started to start, and Spearing suddenly directly attacked Zhang Kuang came into a bear hug, and Zhang Kuang couldn't break free for a while, because Spearing hugged him too tightly, and he was still hanging on Zhang Kuang's body like a koala...
Martin: "Wow, what kind of defense is this? Could it be the legendary red card defense? This kind of bear hug will cost you a card. This defensive action is very irrational."
Neville: "Oh, Webb passed by. Spearing was very excited and told something to Webb. Is it possible that there is something hidden?"
Martin: "Let's watch the replay again... Oh, it turns out that before Zhang Kuang started, there might have been some quarrel between the two, and then Spearing was so excited that he wanted to hold Zhang Kuang, Zhang Kuang's wave hit... Hey, the replay showed that it didn't hit, why did Speason cover his face and then hug Zhang Kuang tightly?"
