Chapter 1250 Melting Ice and Snow
Chapter 1250 Melting Ice and Snow
Glory's goal really surprised many people. Not only the fans of Zenit St. Petersburg and the commentators in England, but also the commentators from other countries and regions were taken aback. When the football flew into the goal, some people were even frightened into silence.
He didn't react until two or three seconds later.
Then came all kinds of howling.
In the words of a certain reporter——Glory once again ignited the commentary booth.
But what he ignited was not only the commentary booth, the goal and the heat radiating from him seemed to ignite the Petrovsky Stadium, causing the ice and snow in the stadium to melt, the temperature also increased a lot, and the wind seemed to have become smaller...
When the Manchester City players celebrated the goal with Rong Guang and restarted the game, the performance of Manchester City's players also improved.
It seems that the influence of the venue and the weather on them has weakened.
Naturally, Zenit St. Petersburg was not reconciled to admitting defeat. This is their home court, and they planned to take all three points. How could they give up just because they fell behind by one goal?
When the game restarted, they also launched a fierce offensive towards Manchester City's goal.
But the offensive of Zenit St. Petersburg did not bring them a goal.
You must know that Manchester City is very good at playing defensive counterattacks...
So just 7 minutes after Rongguang scored, he scored again.
At that time, after Manchester City's offense advanced to the frontcourt, David Silva did not continue to dribble the ball forward because the ground was slippery. Instead, he directly kicked a long diagonal pass at a 30-degree angle when he just entered the 45-meter area, hoisting the football into the penalty area of Zenit St. Petersburg.
Rong Guang jumped in at a high speed, and when he stepped on the penalty area line, he suddenly jumped high and rushed towards the football in the air.
Although Zenit St. Petersburg's defender Criscito had already jumped up and was going to push the football out, Rong Guang, who was sprinting at full speed, jumped much higher than him. He sprinted with all his strength and bumped into it. He first pushed the football to the goal, and then knocked Criscito over, and Criscito fell backwards.
He saw the ball fly towards the goal, and the goalkeeper Malafeyev jumped up, but his hands were still a little far from the ball...
Next, before he fell completely to the ground, he saw the football set off the net...
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!! Rong! Rong! Rong——!!! Powerful header!! Rong's header combined with the bouncing is really enjoyable!"
"Manchester City led 2-0! Facing a very difficult situation in the away game, I didn't expect Manchester City to lead by two goals instead! You must know that at their own home court, Manchester City and Zenit St. Petersburg ended up with a draw!"
※※※
Every time Rong Guang scores a goal, the wind over the Petrovski Stadium seems to be a little bit smaller, and the temperature is also going to be higher.
After Rong Guang scored two goals, the performance of Manchester City players is close to returning to normal.
Before the end of the first half, Rong Guang dribbled horizontally at the front of Zenit St. Petersburg's penalty area. After passing two Zenit St. Petersburg players who rushed forward, he did not choose to shoot.
At that time, all the defenders of Zenit St. Petersburg, including the goalkeeper, were defending against Rongguang's arc shot from the outside of his right foot and a strong volley from the right instep of his left foot, but no one thought that Rongguang would choose to pass the ball.
The target of Rongguang's pass was Zlatan Ibrahimovic who entered the penalty area from the ribs. After receiving the ball, the Swede turned around and volleyed directly.
Although Malafeyev turned around and pounced back at the first time, his movements were still too slow in front of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's unadjusted homeopathic volley...
"GOAL!! Zlatan Ibrahimovic!! The first half of the game is not over yet, and Manchester City has a three-goal lead! This is simply too unexpected! Manchester City completely dominated the game! But shouldn't the advantage be in the hands of Zenit St. Petersburg?" John Mortensen still did not forget to ridicule Zenit St. Petersburg. They felt so good before the game, and now they let Manchester City play 3:0...Even if the game ends with this score, Manchester City can be regarded as a complete victory over the opponent.
What about home field advantage?
What about the right time, place and people?
At this moment, the Petrovsky Stadium suddenly became deathly silent... Even the whistling wind before could hardly be heard.
At this time, someone looked up at the sky, only to realize that at some point, the stars and the moon in the night sky were exposed—the strong wind blew away the thick cloud that had been hanging over St. Petersburg, and then left with the cloud.
This time it's not an illusion, it's really smooth!
Although the wind calmed down, the turbulent waves on the court did not calm down.
After the start of the second half, Manchester City had no intention of stopping at all.
Especially Rongguang, he seems to have fully adapted to the slippery artificial turf, and he dribbled the ball on the court like flying, so that the defensive players of Zenit St. Petersburg could not keep up with the rhythm of Rongguang.
The wet and slippery artificial turf did not stop Rongguang from advancing, but instead caused many Zenit St. Petersburg players to lose their balance in front of Rongguang's various sudden stops and changes of direction, and they fell on their backs...
In the No.603 minute, Rongguang received the ball from outside the penalty area. He first made a vigorous volley gesture and tricked Criscito, who was standing in front of him, to tackle the ball on the ground, but was swung by Rongguang. Then Rongguang dribbled the ball and rushed into the penalty area. Facing the attacking goalkeeper Malafeyev, he made a fake shot and tricked Malafeyev to the ground. Kicked into the goal!
"Hat! Hat! Hat-trick! Rong completed his hat-trick in this game! This is also his first hat-trick in the Champions League this season! At the same time, this is also Rong's sixth goal in the Champions League this season! The group stage has only been played in four games, and there are already six goals. Rong is still aiming for the top scorer in the Champions League this season!"
The narrators were very excited.
In such an unfavorable situation, Rongguang was able to complete a hat-trick, and everyone was impressed by Rongguang's ability.
The same is true for the reporters in the media seats. At this time, they remembered that Rong Guang said in an interview before the game that the weather would not affect the team's performance.Only then did they realize that what Rong Guang actually said was not that it would not affect the team's performance, but that it would not affect his performance.And as long as he plays properly, Manchester City will win.
It turned out that Rongguang's confidence in the team came from this, from himself!
Putting it this way... His words really make sense, and it is completely impossible to refute.
Facts speak louder than words, and now the facts are in front of everyone.
Only an hour into the game, Manchester City has already led Zenit St. Petersburg 4-0 in the away game.
Zenit St. Petersburg's home advantage was gone.
In the last game, after Zenit St. Petersburg drew Manchester City 2:2 away, they thought they could beat Manchester City at home taking advantage of the bad weather. Unexpectedly, they were killed by Manchester City now...
Look at the expressions of the Zenit St. Petersburg players. Just in time, the TV broadcast showed close-up shots of these people's faces. Every Zenit St. Petersburg player who was given a close-up shot had a dull expression on their faces. They were completely stunned.
Although the 10-minute game time has not yet come, everyone knows that the game is over, and the suspense of the outcome has long since disappeared.
※※※
Benitez started to change players after Rong Guang completed his hat-trick. On the one hand, he wanted to give the main players more opportunities to rest. On the other hand, he was also worried that continuing to play would increase the possibility of some players being injured. After all, the field conditions are still not good.
In addition, he is also worried that Zenit St. Petersburg, which lost four goals, will become angry and kick harder.
For this reason, the first thing he replaced was the glory of completing a hat-trick in the game.
In the past, he rarely replaced Rong Guang early in the game, but this time the situation is special.
After Rongguang was replaced, many people felt sorry for it-they also wanted to see if Rongguang would complete the big four in the game, or score more goals.
There is no chance now.
After Rong Guang was replaced, the TV broadcast specially gave him a close-up shot. The camera kept staring at his face, wanting to see if there was any expression change on his face.
If Rongguang showed dissatisfaction, then tomorrow the media will have other hype besides the hat trick.
Fortresses are the easiest to take down from within.
Manchester City's current results and performance are so good, it is difficult to hope that external forces will threaten them, and they can only expect the dynasty to collapse from within.
When the time comes, Rong Guang and Benitez's confrontation will definitely be the fuse.
But they didn't see anything.
Rong Guang, who found himself replaced, just handed the captain's armband to Sneijder next to him, and then he turned and ran off the field.Yes, he was running, not walking slowly. His use of running shows that his mentality is still very positive.
This also shows that he has no opinion on Benitez's substitution.
He doesn't care about being replaced early.
This disappoints those good people.
After Rong Guang was replaced, many people felt that the game was meaningless, and everyone's focus was no longer on the game.
At the same time, Zenit St. Petersburg began to hope that they could get back a few goals while Rong Guang was not on the court. It would be even better if they could even the score-they don't expect anything to win now, and they have to thank God if they can tie.
So the offensive of Zenit St. Petersburg was significantly strengthened.
But this kind of thing fell into the eyes of Ibrahimovic, and he felt that it was a provocation and humiliation to himself.
Oh, when Rong Guang was on the field, you were honestly like a flock of sheep.Now that the glory is gone, are you going to turn into a wolf?
Why?
Do you think that glory will have a greater deterrent effect on you?
what about me?
Where did you put me, Zlatan, in this way?
After all, there is no Zlatan Ibrahimovic in your eyes? !
So the angry Ibrahimovic pierced Zenit St. Petersburg's goal for the second time with a strong volley near the penalty spot in the No.70 minute. This is also Manchester City's fifth goal in this game...
