I Just Can Score

second half.

When the players of the two teams stood up and the referee announced the start of the game, Sun Jihai had already stood on the sidelines ahead of time. He still felt very sudden about his appearance.

This is his seventh season with Manchester City.

It is not easy for a professional player to play for the same club for seven seasons. He has become Manchester City's "veteran player".

But that's all.

In the long period of seven seasons, he only briefly won the main position, and most of the time he was an "all-round substitute" in the backcourt, also known as "panacea". When the team needed it, he went up and worked hard for the game, otherwise Just sit on the bench and wait for the opportunity.

As a "panacea" in the backcourt, there are still more opportunities to play, but Sun Jihai knows that the "Road to Manchester City" is coming to an end.

One is age.

One is the strength of the team.

Sun Jihai is over 30 years old, and his strength and state have begun to decline. When he was at the peak of his strength, he could not get the main position. If his strength declines, he will definitely not be able to stay in the team.

In addition, it is the strength of Manchester City.

This season, Manchester City has received a capital injection from a Thai consortium, and the joining of each star has also brought a lot of competitive pressure. Sun Jihai mainly competes for right back. There are three or four air players who are qualified for the same position. Among them, he must be ranked from the back.

His contract with Manchester City is still one year.

When the season is over, the contract between the two parties will also end. He already plans to return to play in China. The fierce form of the Premier League is no longer suitable for him who is in a refined state.

Now Sun Jihai is on stage again.

It was unexpected.

Since the start of the season, he has only played ten minutes against the second round, and has no record of appearances since then. He did not expect to have a chance to play against Newcastle United.

Sun Jihai was also looking forward to it.

As the "successful sea turtle" of Chinese football, he still has many journalist friends. From his friends, he can know that domestic fans are very concerned about the game, and the media also bought the broadcast rights of the game.

I just hope to see the "Chinese Derby".

This is a domestic 'hype point'.

Sun Jihai is also looking forward to playing. The outside world is talking about how good Zhen Shaolong is, and the discussion of his teammates during the intermission is also the same. They are a little unbelievable about Zhen Shaolong's superb footwork. He also hopes to compete with Zhen Shaolong on the field. try.

Now, here's your chance!

————

When Sun Jihai was looking forward to playing, the domestic commentators also began to look forward to it, "Let's see, Sun Jihai is already standing on the sidelines. It seems that he is going to play."

"When Sun Jihai plays, there will be two Chinese players on the field. This is not easy."

"This is the Chinese derby of the Premier League!"

"We look forward to seeing Zhen Shaolong and Sun Jihai confront each other head-on..."

That was really not easy!

The Chinese media have been looking forward to the "Premier League China Derby" for nearly two seasons. At first they wanted to see the confrontation between Dong Fangzhuo and Sun Jihai.

think about it.

Manchester derby!

Two Chinese players represent Manchester City and Manchester United respectively, which will definitely ignite the enthusiasm of domestic fans.

But Dong Fang's table is not strong enough

After Dong Fangzhuo returned to Manchester United, he played once on behalf of Manchester United, and then sat on the bench all the time. Some time ago, he was seriously injured and hospitalized, and he could not even see the training ground.

Many domestic media and fans lamented what happened to Dong Fangzhuo, but it was meaningless. Now that the "Premier League China Derby" is finally here, the media and fans are still very excited.

finally.

Sun Jihai is here!

The "Premier League China Derby" will be staged soon, and the game commentator is looking forward to it, "Let's see..."

"Oh?"

a twist.

The next topic became, "Newcastle United also have to make substitutions, and the replacement is No. 13 Zhen Shaolong."

"..."

"..."

The game commentator only felt his heart being trampled by 10,000 mud horses. He quickly changed the subject and greeted Allardyce, "Allardyce is not cooperating!"

"Allardyce is really lucky. When coaching Newcastle United, he met a super shooter like Zhen Shaolong who can help the team win with his own goals!"

"It's hard for us to see how Allardyce's coaching level is. Newcastle United seems to be Zhen Shaolong's team..."

The game commentator's continuous bombardment and sarcasm, without a word of negation of Allardyce, made the fans in front of the TV very comfortable to listen to, and at the same time had a deep contempt for Allardyce.

at this time.

Allardyce was sitting on the seat, watching Zhen Shaolong walk off the stage slowly, with a soft smile on his face, suddenly he felt a little itchy nose, and sneezed several times in a row.

"what happened?"

"Could it be a cold?" Allardyce worried about his health, and then decided to eat more hamburgers at night to replenish his body.

————

Zhen Shaolong walked out of the court with a smile, but in fact he was a little scared. If he didn't complete the task at halftime, he would have no chance to complete it if he was substituted.

Thankfully that didn't happen.

Zhen Shaolong was still satisfied with the game, not to mention successfully completing the task, he also scored three goals and staged a perfect half-time performance.

After sitting in his seat, he also noticed Sun Jihai. Very few Chinese players have successfully studied abroad, and Sun Jihai is one of the most successful. He also wanted to compete with Sun Jihai, but if he missed it, he would miss it. know what's going on.

field.

Sun Jihai also felt a little regretful, but given the rare opportunity to play, he still had the motivation to play seriously, even if the team fell behind by four goals, so what?

Winning or losing has little to do with him.

No matter what kind of results Manchester City achieves, he will leave at the end of the season. All he needs to do is to manage himself well. If he can perform better, he should try to perform as well as possible and strive for more opportunities to play. There is definitely no harm.

Manchester City as a whole has no fighting spirit.

With four goals behind, coach Eriksson did not make arrangements, which was almost equivalent to giving up the game.

What else is this playing?

The mentality of the Manchester City team also affected the overall performance. As a result, Sun Jihai became a very shining player in Manchester City's defense. His wonderful confrontation with Nzobia attracted a lot of attention.

The British commentators all praised, "Erickson should have sent Sun sooner, he is much more active than others!"

The Chinese commentator exclaimed, "Sun Jihai's performance is great, and his restriction on Nzobia is very successful!"

courtside.

Eriksson was also surprised by Sun Jihai's performance, and he regretted not letting Sun Jihai start.

Of course.

Sun Jihai's active performance is only one aspect. His strength, reaction speed, and overall ability to handle the ball and cooperate are relatively mediocre, but Sun Jihai is a Chinese player.

This is very important.

The opponent's No. 13 Zhen Shaolong is also a Chinese player. The number of outstanding Chinese players is too small. The two must know each other, maybe they are familiar with each other. Let Sun Jihai mark Zhen Shaolong, maybe it will have an unexpected effect?

Eriksson began to think about it.

After thinking about it for a long time, he realized that he had to wait until the beginning of next year to sit at St. James' Park to have a real chance to implement it. It was pointless to think too much now.

————

Although Sun Jihai was very active, he is not the kind of player who decides the game, and his strength alone is too weak. Manchester City still scored a big score.

1 to 6.

At the end of the game, Manchester City fans looked at the scoreboard and felt a deep humiliation.

In the second half, Newcastle United scored two more goals, scored by Alan Smith and substitute Michael Owen, Manchester City also scored a goal, which can only be regarded as a 'face-saving goal', basically meaningless .

After the game ended, it seemed that the wonderful beginning had come.

Fans probably don't think so.

Many Manchester City fans couldn't bear to leave the field early, and couldn't bear to see the scene of Manchester City's big loss, but the reporters who came to interview were very excited, and they couldn't wait to send out the reports they wanted, and the core points were almost all around 'Eriksen was attacked three times by football'.

To the regret of the media reporters, Eriksson did not attend the post-match press conference.

The reporters were not worried about his physical condition. Eriksson participated in the second half of the game, and his mental state seemed to be fine.

Manchester City's press officer said that Eriksen needs to check his health and has left early.

The reporters didn't believe it.

body check?

What else does the guy need to check?

"He just has no face!"

Many reporters immediately guessed the 'truth', and they had no choice but to interview Allardyce, but it was difficult to find focus on Allardyce, because the media reporters all believed that Zhen Shaolong was the key to the victory of the game .

Allardyce?

tactics?

Newcastle United did not play a brilliant tactic. The first adjustment made in the middle of the game was to replace the 'biggest hero' Zhen Shaolong.

Allardyce...

"Feel sorry."

"We actually don't want to ignore you, but you really don't have any bright spots!"

————

After the game, Newcastle United packed up their things and returned to Newcastle by bus.

Manchester is not far from Newcastle. When the bus arrived at Newcastle United Club, it was only nine o'clock in the evening. Some young people with nightlife still had time to go to HAPPY.

Zhen Shaolong didn't plan to go to Happy, because Alice had already returned, he felt that he should have a small gathering, so he went to the parking lot to pick up his car, thinking of his own car, he felt a pang of sadness.

Alice is back.

He can only drive the family car.

"Farewell for now, my cool sports car!" Zhen Shaolong walked forward with emotion, and saw a long-haired girl in a white dress standing in front of his car?

"...?"

He walked over startled and trembling, looked carefully with his eyes wide open, and took a long breath when he got close.

"You came."

"Lola?"

Zhen Shaolong relaxed his mind.

Flora was holding a gift in her hand. With a sweet smile, she handed it over and said, "Do you like the gift I bought before?"

"So it was you who gave it to me, thank you!" Zhen Shaolong immediately expressed his thanks, "But it's just too expensive."

"It doesn't matter."

Flora said nonchalantly, "As long as you like it, that's fine. By the way, congratulations on your victory. I watched the game and your performance was really great."

"thanks."

Zhen Shaolong didn't know what to say, the two of them were not completely strangers, but they were definitely not familiar either.

Flora was very enthusiastic, and she immediately invited, "By the way, the team should have a holiday the day after tomorrow, right? I'm planning to go to experience Formula racing with my good friend. You should go too?"

"Experience formula racing?"

"Yes, it's the racing track invested by her family. We can go and have a look at it then."

Zhen Shaolong hesitated. He felt that it was really tempting to experience racing. In addition to the fact that he was "short handed", he had already received three gifts. It's not good to disagree, right?

Finally he nodded in agreement.

Flora hugged him excitedly, gave him a kiss, and then trotted away.

Zhen Shaolong stopped in place in a daze, and suddenly realized a problem, "I'm not being tricked!"

"Yes, it's a trick!"

"First give gifts continuously, I'm embarrassed to send them to me, and then invite me to play together... Isn't this the routine of men chasing women? How come it's the other way around here?"

He felt a little sad, and could only sigh, "Great looks bring too much trouble!"
