Chapter 444 Side by side with the legend
After the UEFA Champions League round of [-] draw, the media throughout Europe naturally began to discuss the grouping.
Compared with Arsenal vs. Bayern, AC Milan vs. Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund vs. Manchester United, Manchester City's encounter with Shakhtar Donetsk is not so eye-catching.
Therefore, Manchester City was able to spend an uninterrupted truce period.
This kind of comfortable life lasted until December 12, and the No. 22 round of the Premier League finally arrived.
In this game, Manchester City's opponent at home is the newly promoted Reading club this season.
Compared with other newly promoted horses, Reading is obviously a little bit uncomfortable in the Premier League.
After seventeen rounds of the league, Reading has only won one game in the league, ranking last in the standings.
But before the start of the game, Yang Mo must first receive an important award last season, that is, the 2011-2012 European Golden Boot Award.
The sponsor of the European Golden Boot Awards is Nike, and Yang Mo is also the spokesperson of Nike, so in order to maximize the influence of this award, Nike and Manchester City have prepared a grand award ceremony for Yang Mo.
Before the start of the game, on the podium built in advance, Yang Mo won the European Golden Boot trophy amid the cheers of more than 7 fans.
At this time, Yang Mo won this honor for the second time after the 09-10 season.
After the awards were presented, Yang Mo surrounded the audience with the trophy alone and enjoyed the cheers of the fans.
Compared with the climax of the award ceremony before the game, the next game is not so exciting.
Facing an opponent like Reading, even though Manchester City lacked a major general, they still easily won the game 2-0.
Although Reading was desperately resisting, it was still difficult to stop Yang Mo's impact, and watched Yang Mo score twice with powerlessness.
This victory finally allowed Manchester City to sweep away the haze of being tied by Newcastle not long ago and the injuries of many main players.
And this victory continued Manchester City's unbeaten run in the league.
With the victory over Reading, Manchester City is unbeaten in 14 rounds in the league, and their unbeaten games on all fronts have also come to 16 games.
Yang Mo, who scored twice, even refreshed his league scoring record to 14 consecutive games.
Even if this result is placed in the top five European leagues, it is second only to the legendary Bundesliga striker Gerd Müller's 16-game consecutive scoring record.
The most important thing is that this achievement is already enough for others to look up to, but no one knows where it will stop.
After the game, Yang Mo's crazy performance in the league once again attracted countless media reports.
Everyone has speculated about how much Yang Mo will increase the number of consecutive goals this season. Some say it will surpass Gerd Muller, and some say it will exceed 20 games.
But how much, I am afraid only God knows.
Of course, some reporters specifically asked Yang Mo about this issue, and Yang Mo's answer was:
"I certainly hope that the more the better."
The hot discussion of Yang Mo's consecutive goals became the focus of discussion in many media for a while, and the heat even overshadowed Manchester United's upset draw by Swansea.
However, Manchester City was quite happy about Manchester United's draw.
Because in the standings, they once again widened the gap with Manchester City to six points, and won the half-time league championship ahead of schedule.
Amidst the heated discussions, other leagues have entered the winter break one after another, but the Premier League has ushered in a busier Christmas match schedule.
Starting from the match against Reading on December 12nd, to the match against Sunderland on December 22th, and then to the match against Norwich on December 12th, in just eight days, Manchester City has to play three games in the absence of major generals. league games.
Fortunately, the opponents are not strong teams, otherwise Brian Kidd would really consider resigning.
But the good news is that Mubarak said that the candidate for the new head coach has almost been discussed, and he should be able to officially join Manchester City before the New Year.
The short three-day truce passed quickly. On December 12, Manchester City rushed to Sunderland's Stadium of Light to prepare for the last game of the first half of the Premier League.
In the seventh round of the league this season, Manchester City had a 5-0 bloodbath.
And this game was also Yang Mo's first and only hat-trick in the league this season.
It stands to reason that they were able to beat Sunderland 5-0 before, so this round of the game will naturally not be too sleepy.
But when the game started, Manchester City found that they were playing uncomfortable.
At the end of the first half, the score was 2-3, with the home team Sunderland ahead and Manchester City behind.
Among Manchester City's three goals, Yang Mo scored two, and Aguero scored the other.
Obviously, like Reading before, Sunderland couldn't stop Yang Mo at all, and couldn't stop Manchester City's attack.
But what also depresses Manchester City fans is that Manchester City also did not block Sunderland's attack.
Because of the injuries of Kompany and Barry, Rodwell and Nastasic, who were pushed to the starting position, performed fairly well in the last game, but their state suddenly plummeted in this game and they made frequent mistakes.
Sunderland's two goals in the first half were caused by mistakes by Rodwell and Nastasic.
After entering the second half, Brian Kidd had to replace Rodwell with De Jong to stabilize the defense at the midfielder position.
Since Lescott was put on the transfer market by Manchester City, De Jong, who had been arguing with Lescott, immediately became honest, and finally waited for the opportunity to play.
In order to regain the trust of his teammates, De Jong, who appeared in the second half, performed very actively and quickly helped Manchester City stabilize the backcourt defense.
After Sunderland stabilized in Manchester City's backcourt defense, they could no longer find a chance to score goals and began to be rubbed against the ground by Manchester City.
Yang Mo, who no longer has any worries, completely unleashed his powerful offensive ability.
In the second half, he scored two goals again, completing the league's first big four and fixing the score at 2-5.
After this game, Yang Mo scored 15 goals in 26 consecutive league games, only one game away from Gerd Müller's 42-year scoring streak.
Once again, the news that Yang Mo is moving towards the record of scoring consecutive goals in the five major leagues swept the entire European public opinion circle.
Many media headlines are like this.
"Yang Mo scored again!Where exactly will he stop? "
"15 goals in 26 games, only one step away from legend!" "
……
It can be said that after the media discovered that the public likes to watch Yang Mo keep approaching the record, and possibly surpassing the record, the media has completely treated this matter as a hot pursuit and reported it.
And this kind of follow-up report, on December 12, Yang Mo scored twice in the away game to help Manchester City beat Norwich City, after completing the No. 29 consecutive goals, it completely reached a climax.
"16 goals in 28 games, Yang Mo stands side by side with legends!" "
After tying Gerd Muller's record, this report of "French Football", together with the photo of Yang Mo sliding and kneeling after scoring a goal, made Yang Mo's name sweep the world again.
