Martin: "Hey, what's going on inside the venue? It seems that Zabaleta heard something during the dispute that convinced him, but if he was very shocked, it should have come from Zhang Kuang..."
Neville: "I believe there will be... uh, okay, the lip translation behind will give the result..."
Martin: "Haha...Zabaleta questioned that Zhang Kuang deliberately fell to the ground to take a free kick. The referee said that he saw clearly that it was a foul by Zabaleta, Zabaleta protested to the referee and said, "But he was not so fragile before and would not fall down at a touch." The most shocking words came next, which were said by Zhang Kuang, leaving both Zabaleta and the referee speechless.
Zhang Kuang said, 'In the past, I fought with eight girls last night, so why don't you feel a little weak today? Why don't you try fighting with eight girls and see if you feel weak?' Pfft, haha... I laughed to death..."
Neville: "Haha... this, this, this, Zhang Kuang, so cute..."
After the audience heard this, many fans in the Manchester bar screamed loudly. This reason is really fucking interesting.
Fan A: "Haha, Chinese Zhang is so lovable, yes, what's wrong with eight girls in one night playing football today? Isn't it okay?"
Fan B: "I'm so damn envious of this China guy, one against eight, which man can do this?"
Fan C: "I can do that."
Fan Ding: "Don't brag. It's not like we haven't gone whoring together before. It would be nice to have three minutes..."
"Haha..." All the fans in the bar roared with laughter.
Comment area of MyScore live broadcast platform:
"Farke, Farke, Farke, Zhang, Zhang, Zhang, what he said is so outrageous. He actually said that it was normal for him to feel a little weak yesterday when playing football today?"
"Haha, Zhang, you are my role model. If it doesn't work, I will challenge the Eight Girls."
"Come on, it's good if you can do it eight times, and you're the eighth girl."
"Shete, who do you look down on? You Bichi."
"Fake, who are you calling Bichi? Are you going to fight?"
"Come on..."
"Hey, what Zhang Kuang said was so hurtful. Obviously, Zabaleta was hurt, and some of our fans were also hurt."
"Yeah, stop arguing. If you can, let's compete live. Who is the eighth child and who is the eighth female?"
"Yes, yes, yes, netizens will testify."
"..."
Zhang Kuang stands in front of the ball, 28 meters away from the goal, to the left.
He looked at Hart's position. Hart stood half a step closer to the near goal post.
After a while, the referee finally coordinated the position of the wall, then stepped back. As the referee's whistle sounded, Zhang Kuang prepared to take a free throw.
"Bang!"
Zhang Kuang fired a curve ball, bypassed the wall and went straight to the far corner...
Hart saw the direction of the ball this time. He would not let the ball go into the net, so he flew up with one hand and tried to lift the ball over the crossbar...
However, when his finger touched the ball, it was like touching a piece of iron. He could not change the direction of the ball at all.
"Ugh!"
The ball went into the net.
1:0
Martin: "Hart! Beautiful save... GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL, the ball went in, Zhang Kuang, the free kick hit the goal, the goal was scored."
Neville: "Haha, Zabaleta was deceived, Zhang Kuang was not false, otherwise it would be impossible for Joe Hart to pounce on the ball and still not be able to save it.
It shows that the power of the ball is too great, and Joe Hart can't hold the ball with one hand. How could such a powerful shot be missed? Obviously, Zhang Kuang lied to Zabaleta when he said that he missed the eighth female last night..."
He Wei: "Ah, it's in, it's in, it's in, it's in, the ball is in, Zhang Kuang, a direct free kick. This is his first goal in an official game of the new season. It is a direct free kick.
It's so beautiful. This free kick was so powerful that Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart obviously touched the ball but still couldn't change the outcome of the goal. Obviously, this was a powerful shot."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, let me tell you, how could Zhang Kuang be tripped so easily? He did it just for this free kick. He did it on purpose."
After Zhang Kuang scored, he ran directly to the corner flag area and did one of his signature celebrations. The teammates behind him ran over to celebrate together.
Shinji Kagawa was stunned. A truly top player turned out to be so arrogant and unreasonable. He was so handsome. It's a pity that he is not a woman, otherwise...
The Manchester United fans in the South Stand sang "Song of Zhang Kuang". The North Stand was quiet for a few seconds, and then a burst of drums sounded, cheering for the Manchester City team.
After Mancini saw Zhang Kuang score, he shook his head helplessly. He didn't seem to be very angry or confused. The reason was that he had already expected Zhang Kuang to score and couldn't stop it.
Ferguson touched his nose excitedly, and then chewed the gum in his mouth quickly.
On the bench, Manchester United's teammates cheered. Van Persie looked at him with bright eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
For the next ten minutes or so, the two sides went back and forth, but no one posed a threat to the other for a while. The two teams played equally well, and it was intense, but not exciting.
In the 19th minute, Manchester City's counterattack almost came to fruition. Tevez passed the ball in the middle. Nasri cut in from the right and shot low with his left foot. De Gea fell to the ground and confiscated it.
In the 28th minute, Manchester City took a corner kick, Lescott headed the goal, De Gea saved it, and Džeko missed the right goal post.
Martin: "Džeko's follow-up shot - oh, it missed! Manchester City's best chance, Džeko missed the ball at the line of the small penalty area."
Neville: "Martin, you really hope Manchester City scores a goal?"
Martin: "It's fun to watch both sides go back and forth. Only Manchester United scored a goal and led all the way. So what else is there to see?"
In the 34th minute, Zhang Kuang made a rainbow pass near the sideline. After picking up the ball, Zabaleta wanted to destroy it, but he couldn't reach the ball.
But... the clever Zabaleta pretended to fall, and then hugged Zhang Kuang's legs to prevent Zhang Kuang from walking away.
Zhang Kuang had no choice but to show his hands to the referee, and the referee's whistle sounded.
Manchester United fans at the scene let out huge boos.
Zhang Kuang spread his hands and shrugged, while Rooney smiled and shook his head.
Neville: "Zhang Kuang is a very beautiful rainbow, but it's a pity that he is too close to Zabaleta. Zabaleta's move to hug the thigh is also a helpless move."
Martin: "Haha, it's really interesting."
In the 41st minute, Shinji Kagawa picked up the ball in the middle, glanced up, and passed behind the Manchester City defense line.
Hernández successfully countered offside, faced Hart with a single shot, and shot into the far corner.
Hart fell to the ground and threw himself, and the ball rolled from his armpit into the net.
Manchester United 2-0.
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL, Hernández! Two to zero! Shinji Kagawa's through ball, Hernández's movement, Hart pounced on it but didn't stop it!
Yes, Shinji Kagawa has really integrated in. At least he has a tacit understanding with his teammates. Is he another Asia player who is going to succeed in Manchester United?"
Neville: "The timing of Kagawa's through ball was perfect, and Hernández's start was also perfect. Manchester City's defense was flat at that moment, Lescott and Kompany both took a step forward, and Hernández passed behind them. This is the value of Kagawa, he can deliver this kind of ball in the midfield."
He Wei: "Go in! Hernández! Two to zero! Shinji Kagawa's assist. This is Japan midfielder's first official game assist for Manchester United. Director Zhang, Kagawa's vision for this ball is really good."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, Kagawa made a through ball. When he took the ball, his body was turned sideways, and his right foot made a small arc, which just went around Lescott's foot. Hernández caught the ball comfortably.
This kind of ball is rare in Premier League. Premier League's midfielder is more accustomed to vigorous passing. Kagawa's exquisite through ball is what Manchester United's midfielder lacked last season.
Player Japan's footwork is really good. If he can overcome the difficulty of physical confrontation, he will be the third Asia player to succeed in Manchester United."
When Shinji Kagawa saw Hernández hugging him, and Zhang Kuang and Rooney celebrating with him, he also breathed a sigh of relief. He had an assist in his first game, which can be regarded as showing his value.
Ferguson on the sidelines was even more pleased, indicating that he had made the right choice.
As a head coach with the power to select players, what he fears most is being accused of buying the wrong players. If he buys the right players, he will be praised by the public and people will say that Sir Alex has a very sharp vision and knows how to select players.
In the 45th minute, Yaya Toure pulled down Carrick in midfield and received a yellow card.
After the kick-off, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
At halftime, Manchester United scored two to zero.
Intermission, Sky Sports Studio.
Martin: "Gary, at halftime, Manchester City is behind 0:2. What do you think is the reason why Manchester City is behind? In the first half of this game, the two sides did not have the same big scoring battle as before."
Neville: "Indeed, today's first half did not look as intense as a local derby. This may be because the players on both sides have just spent the offseason, and their condition and blood have not yet been mobilized.
Manchester City's problem is in the midfield. Neither De Jong nor Milner can control Kagawa, and Yaya Toure can't cover it alone. Mancini must adjust in the second half."
Martin: "Gary, how do you think Mancini will be adjusted?"
Neville: "David·Silva should play, Manchester City needs someone to hold the ball in the midfield and control the rhythm. If Silva plays, Yaya Toure can push forward a little, Džeko and Tevez wait for the ball in front.
But in this way, Manchester City's midfield defense will be weaker, Zhang Kuang's counterattack space will be larger, and Mancini will face a dilemma."
"..."
The second half begins.
Manchester City replaced two people: Balotelli replaced Milner, David·Silva replaced Nasri.
Martin: "Manchester City has made substitutions, and two substitutions in a row. They are going to strengthen their offense, but in this case, defense will become a problem."
Neville: "Yes, but if you don't change, you will fall behind. Having said that, it is a dilemma. This is Community Shield, so you can make mistakes. If you are in the league or UEFA Champions League, you definitely cannot do this."
The game continued. After two offensive players were replaced, Manchester City's offense became much sharper, frequently attacking Manchester United's half.
In the 53rd minute, Džeko shot low from outside the penalty area, De Gea made the save and Tevez scored with a supplementary shot.
Manchester United 2-1.
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL, Tevez! Džeko's low shot, De Gea missed the save, Tevez made a follow-up shot! Manchester City recovered one! Two to one!"
Neville: "De Gea shouldn't let go. Džeko's shot isn't very powerful, so he should hold on. But Tevez's sense of smell is so good, he's been waiting for this opportunity."
Martin: "I don't think we can blame De Gea. It's just the offseason, and everyone's condition needs to slowly improve. Besides, Rooney was able to control the eighth girl last night, but De Gea can't? So what does it matter if he was weak today?"
Neville:"Haha..."
In the 58th minute, De Jong kicked Shinji Kagawa's ankle in midfield and received a yellow card.
Kagawa lay on the ground for half a minute, then stood up and continued kicking.
In the 61st minute, Manchester City attacked outside Manchester United's penalty area, but there was an accident in their cooperation. Yaya Toure's pass Balotelli did not run away, resulting in the ball being obtained by Evra.
Balotelli waved to Yaya Toure to indicate that it was his fault, but it was impossible for him to take it back.
After Evra got the ball, he passed it forward. Zhang Kuang immediately started to shake off Zabaleta, and then led the ball and quickly ran towards Manchester City's half.
Unfortunately, Manchester City in front of him quickly formed an interception net. Zhang Kuang passed the ball to Shinji Kagawa in the middle without saying a word.
Shinji Kagawa was originally going to pass the ball to Hernández, but Hernández was guarded by Lescott in front of him, so Kagawa directly passed the ball to Zhang Kuang who was running into the penalty area.
However, Kagawa's passing force was a little weak, and Zhang Kuang ran past it. Just when Kagawa was about to regret his mistake in passing, Zhang Kuang directly knocked his right heel backwards, making a scorpion tail swing, and the ball entered the net from Hart's armpit.
Manchester United 3-1.
Martin (almost shouted): "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL, Zhang Kuang! Scorpion tail wagging! I haven't seen his scorpion tail wagging for a long time.
Evra passed the ball, Zhang Kuang took the ball and passed it to Shinji Kagawa, Shinji Kagawa then passed it to When Zhang Kuang was weak, who knew Zhang Kuang knocked with his heel and the ball went in from Hart's armpit! Three to one! This is art! This is art on the football field!"
Neville: "This kind of ball is really beautiful. It feels like Zhang Kuang is very familiar with scoring such a difficult goal, as if he is very familiar with scoring this kind of goal. It doesn't look like he has a sudden inspiration, but like he did it deliberately." But from the expressions and movements of Shinji Kagawa, it doesn't look like they deliberately cooperated like this, so this is an accidental phenomenon, but Zhang Kuang can still do it so smoothly. This ability... is really amazing."
He Wei: "It's in, it's in, it's in, it's in, the ball is in, the scorpion's tail is swaying! Zhang Kuang! This ball, this ball, is really as wonderful and unexpected as a fairy from heaven. Joe Hart everyone is confused, he may not have expected it, it's so wonderful. Director Zhang, how do you describe this ball?"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, this ball is indescribable. I can only say that Zhang Kuang's physical coordination, reaction, and shooting abilities are already at the peak of his body. Not many players in the world can achieve such abilities."
After Zhang Kuang's staggering goal, Shinji Kagawa's eyes were full of stars. Now he admires Zhang Kuang beyond measure. He only saw him on TV before, but he didn't expect...
It's a pity that such a player is not a Japan player. I have to say that China's father has a vast land, rich resources, and a large population. He has all kinds of talents, which is really enviable.
In the 63rd minute, Rafael knocked down Tevez from the wing and received a yellow card.
In the 67th minute, Manchester City made substitutions: Clichy replaced Kolarov (Kolarov had a thigh strain).
In the 72nd minute, Balotelli fouled Evra and the referee blew the whistle. Balotelli protested and was sent off after two yellows turned into one red.
Balotelli walked towards the players tunnel and sat down at the entrance.
Martin: "Balotelli was sent off. Obviously he was very angry, but he didn't go back to the locker room. He sat at the entrance of the tunnel. This... Gary, can you guess why Balotelli didn't go back to the locker room?"
Neville: "This is Balotelli. You never know what he will do next. Maybe he is waiting like a child for the classmate who is arguing with him to get out of school. He wants to block him at the school gate and then take revenge?"
Martin: "Ah? Haha... Don't tell me, it's really possible. I just don't know who he wants to take revenge on? Is it the referee or Evra?"
Neville: "I don't know about this. Who can guess what Balotelli is thinking in his mind?"
"..."
In the 78th minute, Džeko shot from the top of the penalty area into the far corner, and De Gea flew to save it.
In the 82nd minute, Kompany made a long pass from the backcourt, and Tevez scored against offside.
Manchester United 3-2.
Martin: "GOOOOOOOAL, Tevez kills the old master! Kompany's long pass, Tevez counters offside, single-handedly, De Gea attacks, Tevez shoots! Three to two! Manchester City catches up with only one difference!"
Neville: "I didn't expect them to catch up. The players from both teams are getting better. It feels like a derby. It's a pity that the game lasted more than 80 minutes."
In the 85th minute, Ferdinand tripped Džeko in the penalty area and the referee awarded a penalty kick.
Then Manchester United's players quit and a penalty kick was awarded at this time? Are you crazy?
Players from both sides were making noise around the referee.
Martin: "Perhaps no one thought that the most exciting part of this game was towards the end? The plot was full of twists and turns, it was a bit exciting."
Neville: "Ha, I didn't expect that either. It felt normal in the first half, and it felt normal in the first 70 minutes, but after Balotelli was sent off, the game became different..."
Martin: "Is it possible, what can be said after Balotelli was sent off? You see he is sitting in the tunnel and will not leave. Does this have anything to do with the situation on the field? Is it some kind of witchcraft?"
Neville: "I don't dare to say nonsense. Could it be that Balotelli learned some witchcraft this offseason?"
After a while, the noise on the field was finally stopped, and the penalty kick was still valid.
Then after the players from both sides took their positions, Tevez stood in front of the ball, and he would take the penalty kick.
"Beep!"
After the referee blew the whistle, Tevez took a run and then volleyed... De Gea judged the wrong direction and the ball went in.
The score became 3-3.
After the goal, the Manchester City players went crazy. They didn't expect that the final game ended in a 3:3 draw. This was so unexpected.
Mancini laughed even more, this was so unexpected.
As for Manchester United, everyone was dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, the score changed from 3:1 to 3:3 in just a few minutes. Lightning set?
