"Wow, Dugarry, have you ever seen such a goal? This is the first time I have seen it in so many years. What kind of goal do you think this is? What level?" Bart asked in the studio.

Dugarry: "Not only have you never seen it, but I haven't seen it either. Indeed, we have seen many miraculous goals that started from the midfield and then beat several people, including Ronaldo who even beat the goalkeeper.

But I have never seen a genius who ran nearly 80 meters from his own penalty area, passed 5 people in a row, and passed the ball to himself three seconds later when passing people.

You have to ask me what level this is. I dare not say that the level of this ball is the best in the world, but it will be worshiped repeatedly by many fans, players, and coaches in the next few years."

"Then do you think there are other players in football today who can score such a goal?"

"It's difficult. There are several difficulties here. The first is running 80 meters. Many players can run this distance, but Zhang Kuang only took 10 seconds. Can you imagine?

Do you know what it means to run 80 meters with the ball in 10 seconds? At a speed of 28 kilometers per hour, the key is that he is still running with the ball and passing 5 people.

This is too difficult for ordinary people to do. I believe that almost no other person can replicate the miracle of Zhang Kuang.

Yes, this is only the first difficulty, and it has already stumped almost all the wide players. There is also the second difficulty.

That's when he passed the pass and passed the ball to himself three seconds later. Oh my god, I have never seen such a strange thing in the history of football.

Pass the ball to yourself three seconds later during the pass, Bart, do you know how difficult it is? Anyone who has been in contact with football will know how difficult it is."

"Yes, after Dugarry's analysis, audience friends, we have just witnessed a goal that does not belong to this world. I saw Auxerre's head coach Fernandez praying. I believe that everyone can understand his behavior, because it can only be described as a miracle."

"There is also the third difficulty, Bart, the most important ability that a top football superstar should have is to carry the team's counterattack in adversity.

It's been nearly forty minutes since the first half, and the Auxerre I saw was not the Auxerre before. This was a Auxerre that had its soul taken out. Originally, I thought it would swallow a bitter pill today.

But Chinese Zhang used two world-class goals to carry the team back in the face of adversity. Bart, this is the temperament that World Cup needs most, and it is also the temperament that UEFA Champions League and the league need most in the championship.

Therefore, I believe Europe what all wealthy teams need most right now is to sign Zhang Kuang. He not only has the ability to compete for the championship, he also has the temperament to compete for the championship."

"..."

3 to 2.

The Grenoble team played the best half of the season - the midfield stranglehold tactics were perfectly executed, Auxerre's offensive engine Pedretti was completely locked up, and the entire defense line barely gave their opponents any decent opportunities in the first 40 minutes. Three to zero was what they deserved.

But that China man scored two goals in a row, turning the score into three to two.

Both goals were world-class.

This is a goal that can only be scored by players of the Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Ronaldinho level.

The game continued, and the ecstatic Fernandez once again made a new instruction: Zhang Kuang became a free man in the game. He can appear in any position. The other players fully cooperate with him and defend well at the same time. They cannot concede any more goals. If anyone concedes the goal again, he will be transferred to the reserve team and do not want to play again this season.

Auxerre players heard the coach's instruction and realized the coach's anger. They all cheered up, as if their energy had returned.

In the 41st minute, Grenoble kicked off the ball from the center circle and tried to regain control of the rhythm.

They tried to stabilize the situation through the midfield kick, but Auxerre's pressing intensity increased significantly - not tactically, but mentally. It was a momentum that was ignited by one person, and no one was willing to hold back anymore.

Pedretti steals the ball in the midfield and distributes the ball to Oliech on the wing.

Oliech advanced with the ball, and Grenoble's two defensive players immediately attacked. This time, Oliech did not hesitate. Before the two people could encircle each other, he sent the ball through the ball behind Grenoble's defense line.

Zhang Kuang started from the right sideline like a bullet being ejected.

His explosive first step made it impossible for the defender marking him to keep up, and when he accelerated with his second step, he was already one position ahead.

The ball bounced in front of him, and he gently used the outside of his right foot to control the ball to his side.

Grenoble's central defender Postian Cesar rushed forward, with his center of gravity very low and ready for a frontal interception.

Zhang Kuang does not slow down.

He drew a circle on the ball with his right foot - Stepovers.

In CCTV-5's studio, Xu Yang exclaimed, "Wow, I didn't expect Zhang Kuang to have such gorgeous foot skills. It's really pleasing to the eye."

"Yeah, what I don't understand is why Zhang Kuang has been hiding it and refusing to use it before."

"Maybe it's because he has always been a forward and doesn't need to use such skills to break through."

"Yes..."

Cesar's body center of gravity shifted slightly to the left by an inch.

Zhang Kuang's second bicycle kick was faster. He passed the ball from the outside of Cesar with his right foot, and then overtook from the outside.

Overtaking at another corner.

Cesar reached out to pull Zhang Kuang's jersey, but only caught a handful of air. He turned around and wanted to chase back, but Zhang Kuang had already thrown him away by two positions.

"Zhang Kuang is here again!" Liu Jianhong's voice has become hoarse, "Another breakthrough from the side! Another overtaking in a corner! Grenoble's defense is like paper in front of him!"

Zhang Kuang dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Grenoble's other central defender David·Jemmali came to defend from the front. The goalkeeper also abandoned the goal and blocked the near corner.

Zhang Kuang raised his right foot and made a fake shot.

Jemmali's center of gravity was deceived, and he raised his foot to block it - but Zhang Kuang's foot was retracted before touching the ball, and then he moved the ball sideways with his left foot to avoid the shooting angle.

Get up.

"Bang--!"

The ball was extremely fast and headed straight for the far corner of the goal.

Grenoble's goalkeeper flew to save the ball, reaching his right hand to the limit - his fingertips touched the ball.

The ball changed direction slightly, hit the outside of the goalpost, and bounced off the baseline.

"When--!"

That crisp sound made Auxerre fans' hearts tremble.

"Goal post! Zhang Kuang's shot hit the goal post again, twice in the first half!" Liu Jianhong's voice was full of regret, "It was almost a hat trick! Just a few centimeters away!"

Zhang Kuang looked at the goalpost that was still shaking slightly with his hands on his hips, shook his head, turned around and walked towards the center line.

It's not regret, it's helplessness.

He has done everything he can.

The rest depends on luck.

The ball hit the goal post twice in the first half. What kind of bullshit luck is this? Could it be that he couldn't reverse this game today?

No, it's impossible, he is a man with a system!

In the 44th minute, Auxerre got a corner kick opportunity. Birsa drove the ball to the center of the penalty area. Grichting fought for the top. The ball was punched out by Grenoble goalkeeper, and the clearance was not far away.

Pedretti got the ball outside the penalty area and did not shoot. Instead, he passed the ball to Oliech on the right. Oliech did not pass the ball after getting the ball, but passed the ball back to Pedretti - he was stalling for time and waiting for a better opportunity.

At the 45th minute, the fourth official raised the stoppage time card - two minutes.

First half stoppage time.

Auxerre patiently dropped the ball in the frontcourt, Pedretti took the ball near the center circle, and Zhang Kuang cruised near the right sideline.

Forty-six minutes.

Pedretti made a diagonal long pass and sent the ball near the right sideline. Zhang Kuang took the ball with his back, and Grenoble's two defensive players pressed for it from behind and from the side at the same time.

He did not choose to pass, but used the outside instep of his right foot to rub the ball - the ball drew an arc from the air, bypassed the defensive player's head, and landed at the front of the small penalty area.

It wasn't a shot, it was a pass. He was afraid that a curse would happen and hit the door frame again.

Jelen started in the small penalty area and stretched out his right foot before the defensive player.

He didn't stop the ball, but pushed it directly with the arch of his foot.

The ball rolled past the goalkeeper and into the lower right corner of the goal.

3:3.
