Chapter 167
On October 10, in the third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, the Manchester City team came to Catalonia to prepare for an away game against Barcelona.

Guardiola fought his old club again, and the 3G combination directly collided with MSN, all of which made the match between Manchester City and Barcelona attract much attention.

The afternoon before the Champions League game, Barcelona also organized the award ceremony of the European Golden Boot.

Last season, Suarez won the La Liga Golden Boot with 40 goals and also won the European Golden Boot.

This is the second time Su Ya has won the European Golden Boot since the 13/14 season, becoming the fifth player to win the European Golden Boot at least twice since the 21st century.

The first four were Henry, Diego Forlan, Ronaldo and Messi.

Barcelona deliberately arranged the awards on the day before the Champions League match, probably in order to improve the morale of the team.

Since the start of the new season, Barcelona has lost two games in La Liga.

The key point is that the opponents they lost were not strong, namely the mid-range team Celta Vigo and the newly promoted Alaves.

This makes Barcelona's points not only behind Real Madrid Atletico Madrid, but even Sevilla ranks ahead of Barcelona.

Therefore, Barcelona's start to the season is not ideal.

Therefore, Barcelona really wants to beat Manchester City and get the team back on track.

At 7:45 pm local time in Spain, the strong battle between Manchester City and Barcelona officially arrived.

Although Zhang Chaoqiang has a record of fighting against Barcelona, ​​and successfully defeated the opponent.

But that's on neutral ground.

This is Zhang Chaoqiang's first visit to Camp Nou.

"Currently the strongest team in world football is still recognized as Huangsaren. Although Zhang Chaoqiang scored their goals successively in the European competition last season, he has not scored a goal at Huangsaren's home court..."

Before the start of the game, the domestic commentator assigned Zhang Chaoqiang a new task.

Before leading Lyon to kill Huang Saren, Zhang Chaoqiang scored goals.

However, the goal against Barcelona was at a neutral venue, and the goals against Real Madrid and Bayern were at home to Lyon.

So Zhang Chaoqiang has indeed not scored a goal at Huangsaren's home court.

※※※

"Zhang, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Sammy."

Before the start of the game, Zhang Chaoqiang and Barcelona's starting central defender Umtiti gave a warm hug.

After all, they are old teammates who have worked together in Lyon for three seasons. Now they meet each other on the court, and they are somewhat emotional.

The game officially started, and neither team hesitated too much, and quickly threw themselves into the attack.

There is no doubt that this match between Manchester City and Barcelona will be a confrontation.

In the 6th minute, Barcelona's first attack was resolved, and Manchester City took possession of the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

David Silva took the ball and split the side, Zhang Chaoqiang switched positions and started to catch the ball from the right.

Accelerate the rush, and then stop suddenly to smash the ball.

With a simple and unadorned handling of the ball, Zhang Chaoqiang successfully overwhelmed Alba, who was closely following him, and cut inside into the Barcelona penalty area.

Since his technical awareness has risen to a superstar, Zhang Chaoqiang's court fakes have become more deceptive.

Before the Barcelona players made up the defense, Zhang Chaoqiang quickly kicked up and hit a rubbing shot with his left foot.

The ball easily passed over Umtiti's head and flew straight to the far post of Barcelona.

But Ter Stegen flew forward and slapped the ball out of the baseline with his palm.

"It's a pity. Manchester City made a threat in the first attack. Zhang Chaoqiang directly passed Alba and cut in to hit the goal, but was rejected by Ter Stegen."

"Oh? What's going on? Alba seems to be injured?"

The Barcelona players were thankful that the goal was not conceded, but soon found that Alba, who had just been shaken, was still sitting on the ground, covering his thigh with his hand.

Obviously hurt.

The Barcelona team doctor rushed into the field to check the players' injuries.

At this time, the TV screen also played back the scene where Alba was killed just now.

"Zhang Chaoqiang accelerated from the side, and Alba tried his best to keep up without being thrown away."

"But when Zhang Chaoqiang made an emergency stop to smash the ball, Alba, who was chasing back at high speed, also forcibly turned around and stopped suddenly, as if he had strained his thigh."

"I have to say that Zhang Chaoqiang's court skills are becoming more and more delicate."

Less than 10 minutes into the game, Barcelona had to use up a substitution.

Barcelona's substitute left-back Digne came on to replace the injured Alba.

Speaking of which, Digne is still Zhang Chaoqiang's old acquaintance in Ligue [-].

When Digne played for Paris, he was a promising star left-back in Ligue [-].

But in the confrontation with Lyon, Digne encountered Zhang Chaoqiang's strong outside overtaking, directly became the background board of the goal, and his personal upward momentum was also interrupted.

So Digne was loaned to Serie A Roma for a season last season. This summer, he moved to Barcelona and became a substitute left back for the La Liga giants.

Now that he is coming off the bench, Digne has to face his "old friend" Zhang Chaoqiang again.

However, in the Manchester City team, Zhang Chaoqiang has switched to playing left forward, and he will only switch to the right when changing positions.

Barcelona's players were injured at the beginning and forced to make substitutions, which seemed to be unlucky.

But soon they got the balance of luck.

In the 11th minute, Barcelona attacked from the right.

Messi dribbles the ball past Zabaleta, and quickly plays the ball to help Iniesta lap.

Iniesta made an inverted triangle pass back from the wing, which did not seem to be a big threat, because there was Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho on the pass route.

The Brazilian only needs to intercept the ball to resolve Barcelona's attack.

But this guy didn't know what was going on, and when he grabbed the interception, he fell down in embarrassment and directly missed the football.

Messi managed to get the ball, and without hesitation, he drove straight into the goal, flicked the ball past Bravo, and easily pushed the empty goal.

The Camp Nou stadium immediately resounded with crazy cheers.

"Hey, Manchester City was the first to concede the ball."

"Fernandinho made a mistake and gave Messi an excellent chance."

"Although in the national team competition, Messi seems to have no good way to deal with Bravo, but in the club competition, Messi will not be soft..."

The Chinese commentary is extremely regrettable.

Manchester City was in good form, and at the beginning they forced the opponent to use up a substitution.

But then he made a mistake and sent a goal first.

The match between Manchester City and Barcelona is not only a strong battle, but also related to the group rankings, who can grab the first place in the group.

Now conceding a goal first, the situation is not very favorable.

After Manchester City lost the ball, they quickly organized a counterattack, intending to be tough.

In the 15th minute, Zhang Chaoqiang made a breakthrough from the left, passed Busquets and Mascherano in succession, and then crossed the Barcelona penalty area. De Bruyne took the ball and pushed it to Aguero who advanced forward.

Aguero received the ball from the right side of the penalty area and volleyed from a small angle. It was a good opportunity, but he slammed the ball into the side net.

I have to say that Ah Kun is really a bit soft when fighting hard.

Two minutes later, Barcelona launched a quick counterattack. Neymar broke through from the wing and made a pass. Suarez headed high in front of the goal.

On the court, the two teams played back and forth, living up to the name of a strong battle.

In the 23rd minute, Manchester City intercepted the ball in the midfield, and Sterling dribbled the ball from the right to the frontcourt and quickly passed the ball across.

Zhang Chaoqiang, who followed up in the middle, took the ball in front of the penalty area and rushed forward into the penalty area.

Pique, Umtiti, Mascherano, three Barcelona players quickly surrounded.

Zhang Chaoqiang was rushing to the left front quickly. Seeing that the three Barcelona players were moving to double-team, he decisively dunked the ball with his left foot and stopped the ball.

Then he stepped forward with his right foot and moved horizontally, directly shaking Umtiti who was closest in front of him.

Immediately swing your legs sideways, and pump your right foot hard.

The football was like a cannonball, and flew straight to the lower right corner of the Barcelona goal.

Ter Stegen once again showed the reaction of a top goalkeeper, immediately flew over and successfully touched the ball with his fingers.

But the ball with great force was only slightly changed direction, and it still flew into the Barcelona goal.

"Goooooooooal———————"

"Super Zhang!! A beautiful volley and scored, he helped Manchester City equalize!!"

"This is a simple and direct goal. After Manchester City steals the ball and advances quickly, Zhang takes the ball and breaks into the penalty area. When he is about to encounter double-teams, he suddenly smashes the ball and changes direction. He directly shakes the angle and volleys decisively to score the goal."

"This is the personal ability of a superstar. Zhang used his actual actions to prove to everyone that he is one of the best strikers in world football, and he can even compete with Ronaldo Messi!!"

The Manchester City Trident has played better and better since they were combined. It is of course compared with MSN and BBC.

And Zhang Chaoqiang, as the core of the Trident, is also being compared more and more with Messi and Ronaldo.

Some media even said that Zhang Chaoqiang can become No.1 in football after Melo.

Of course, this title has been used by Neymar, Bale, Griezmann, Hazard and other players.

In this respect, Zhang Chaoqiang is already at the same level as Neymar and others.

In other words, football is second only to the existence of Melo.

The moment Zhang Chaoqiang scored a goal, the domestic commentators were also cheering excitedly.

"Good shot!! Zhang Chaoqiang!!"

"One left, one right, two fast and flexible changes of direction, Zhang Chaoqiang directly created a good opportunity to hit the goal, and successfully poured the ball in!"

"Just over ten minutes before Messi's goal, Zhang Chaoqiang also responded with a goal to help Manchester City equalize the score."

"For the first time in his career, he scored in an away game against Barcelona and scored goals in three consecutive Champions League games. Zhang Chaoqiang is setting new career records one after another!"

Although Zhang Chaoqiang scored 10 goals in the Champions League last season, he only scored in two consecutive games at most.

And this season, he has scored consecutive goals against Borussia, Celtic and Barcelona.

Zhang Chaoqiang has gained a new achievement.
