Chapter 172 3G Era
"Super Zhang surprised the audience with two shots and one pass, Blue Moon beat Barcelona with four goals"

"Super fast horses dominate the game, Barcelona suffered a terrible loss"

"Barcelona lost 0:4 away, tying the biggest loss in team history"

"The second round of 3G vs. MSN, the unexpected massacre score"

The strong battle between Manchester City and Barcelona has just ended, and sports media all over the world have actively reported the results of the game.

4:0, this is indeed somewhat beyond everyone's expectations.

You know, this score has already tied the biggest loss in the Champions League in the history of Barcelona.

In the Champions League final of the 93/94 season, Barcelona, ​​which has the title of dream team, defeated AC Milan, which was full of wounded soldiers, 0:4 in Athens.

In the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 97/98 season, during the transitional period, Barcelona defeated Dynamo Kiev 0:4 at home, making the nuclear warhead Shevchenko a huge name in one fell swoop.

12/13赛季欧冠半决赛，巴萨客场0:4惨败德甲巨人拜仁慕尼黑，两回合总比分更是夸张的0:7。

That series not only pushed Bayern to the throne of the New Cosmos team, but it was also considered to be the end of the Barcelona Dream III era.

Now in the post-Dream III era, Barcelona suffered another 0:4 fiasco. This is the fourth time in their team history that they have encountered this score.

This encounter 0:4, Barcelona achieved the prestige of the 3G combination.

In addition to reporting the game, the English media continued to create momentum for Manchester City and the 3G combination, only to announce to the outside world that the 3G era of football is coming.

Zhang Chaoqiang, as the absolute hero of two shots and one pass, naturally benefited the most and successfully earned a wave of good fame.

But on the whole, although the media highly recognized Manchester City's 4:0 victory over Barcelona, ​​they did not exaggerate to the extent of the first battle.

After all, it was just a group match.

What's more, Barcelona still has three main players injured.

But through this game, the combination of Manchester City and 3G did win a lot of attention.

After winning Barcelona 4:0, Manchester City's Champions League group points increased to 9 points, catching up to the same points as Barcelona, ​​and relying on the relationship between victory and defeat to overwhelm the opponent and successfully promoted to the first position in the group.

In another game in the same group, Borussia drew 1:1 with the Celtics at home and failed to take all three points.

So after the four rounds of the group stage, Manchester City and Barcelona have 9 points, Borussia have 4 points, and Celtic have 1 point.

According to the points situation, it is a foregone conclusion that Manchester City and Barcelona will qualify together, and there will basically not be much change.

But if Manchester City wants to qualify first in the group, they have to win the remaining two rounds as much as possible.

在其他小组比赛中，阿森纳客场3:2险胜卢多戈雷茨，莱斯特城客场0:0平哥本哈根，热刺则是主场0:1输给勒沃库森。

After winning the game, the Gunners qualified two rounds ahead of schedule and became the first Premier League team to advance to the Champions League knockout stage this season.

Originally, Leicester City could advance ahead of schedule if they won this round, but unfortunately they failed to score three points.

But they are still ranked first in the group, and it is only a matter of time before they qualify.

Only Tottenham are worse. After losing at home, they have dropped to third place in the group, and the qualifying situation is quite unfavorable.

It can be said that Tottenham is the only team in the Premier League this season that may be eliminated in the group stage, and the possibility is still very high.

In addition, in the UEFA Champions League scorer list, Zhang Chaoqiang increased the number of goals to 5 goals after scoring twice in this round, jumping to the No.2 position in the scorer list.

At present, it is Messi who has scored more goals than Zhang Chaoqiang, with 6 goals.

Ronaldo has won the Champions League Golden Boot in the previous four seasons, but he is indeed in poor form this season.

Only two goals were scored in four rounds, which is not very efficient.

Of course, this is for a player of Ronaldo's level.

If an ordinary striker scored two goals in four rounds, that would be a good efficiency.

※※※

Taking advantage of Manchester City's four-goal victory over Barcelona, ​​Zhang Chaoqiang's agency also began to make efforts to create momentum for him.

Agent Jacques Frello came to Zhang Chaoqiang's home to communicate with him about related matters.

"According to the current mainstream view, it is difficult for us to enter the top three of the Ballon d'Or or the World Footballer of the Year. After all, Griezmann is the core player of the two runners-up in the Champions League and the European Cup. He is the third person of the year that everyone expects this year. "

"So we change our goal and strive for the best team of the year..."

Strive to enter the best team of the year, this goal is not easy.

The best team of the year has three forward positions. In recent years, Ronaldo and Messi have occupied two positions for a long time, leaving only one place for other forward players.

If Zhang Chaoqiang wants to fight for that position, he needs to compete with Griezmann, Suarez, Bale, Neymar and others.

Although Griezmann has a high probability of entering the top three of the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year, he may not be able to enter the best team of the year.

This is a precedent, entered the top three awards, but can not be selected for the best team of the year.

After all, the selection mechanism of the two awards is different.

What's more, as a striker, Griezmann's overall number of goals is not too many.

Except for Griezmann, the other candidates are not ordinary people.

Suarez is the La Liga Golden Boot and the European Golden Boot.

Bale is a member of the Champions League champions and also led Wales to the semi-finals of the European Cup.

Neymar was the third person of the year in 2015 and has a great reputation.

Zhang Chaoqiang's real achievement is to lead Lyon to the semi-finals of the Champions League with core players, and staged a dark horse show.

Moreover, Zhang Chaoqiang scored a lot of goals last season, a total of 48, which is second only to Suarez among the main candidates.

Moreover, he also has an invisible advantage, that is, FIFA's optimism.

Since becoming famous, FIFA has been silently promoting Zhang Chaoqiang, obviously aiming at the Chinese market behind him.

So as long as FIFA "helps" a little bit, Zhang Chaoqiang has every chance to overwhelm the others and be selected into this year's best team of the year.

After the midweek Champions League game, the weekend league will soon come.

On November 11, in the 6th round of the Premier League, Manchester City played against newly promoted Middlesbrough at home.

Just after a big win over Barcelona in the middle of the week, the morale of Manchester City's team was high, and the audience kept bombing against Middlesbrough, completing a total of 29 shots.

The fly in the ointment is that the overall shooting efficiency is not high.

Of the 29 shots, only 8 were on target and only one goal was scored.

In the 37th minute, Zhang Chaoqiang received a pass from De Bruyne in the penalty area, turned around and shot was blocked by Middlesbrough goalkeeper Valdes, and then Aguero grabbed a supplementary shot and scored.

Valdés was exactly the Barcelona goalkeeper Valdés back then, and now he is old enough to come to Middlesbrough to retire.

It may be that Manchester City's abuse of Barcelona in the middle of the week stimulated his state. In this game, Valdez kept catching and resisting, and only missed a supplementary shot.

Those games on the football field that are bombarded but cannot be converted into goals are often prone to accidents.

This field is no surprise.

Manchester City only scored one goal, but as long as they don't concede a goal, they can still get three points.

But in the 3rd minute of stoppage time at the end of the game, Middlesbrough took advantage of a corner kick to create chaos, and Dutch midfielder Deruen scored the goal.

Manchester City suffered an absolute tie at the last moment and could only accept the 1:1 result.

控球率76%比24%，射门数29比5，射正数8比2，最终比分1比1。

This is a typical pass-controlled loss of points.

In the other games of this round, Manchester United finally ended their four-round winless league game and beat Swansea 3:1 away.

In addition, both Chelsea and Liverpool beat their opponents by five goals.

In the north London derby, Tottenham drew 1-1 with Arsenal.

So in the latest Premier League standings, Manchester City continued to occupy the top spot with 27 points, Liverpool ranked second with 26 points, followed by Chelsea with 25 points, Arsenal with 24 points, Tottenham with 21 points and Manchester United with 18 points.

In the last three rounds of the Premier League, Manchester City suffered two draws, and the teams behind them all caught up.

If they lose points again, Manchester City may not be able to keep the top position.
