If Hao Qiang were to play in the Asian Cup, I guess the atmosphere in the locker room would be very low right now.
Everyone will also feel anxious.
But the current score of 1:1 does not dishearten everyone.
Instead, I have great expectations for the second half.
Hao Qiang worked hard to activate the team's firepower in the first half, and his performance was seen and remembered by everyone.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Stoke City is also very excited and hopes to beat Manchester City at home today.
However, after the start of the second half, Manchester City's offensive quality gradually improved.
It seemed that after a slow start in the first half, the defending Premier League champions showed their real strength.
Stoke City's threatening attacks began to reduce in frequency and quality.
They put more energy into defense, and the defense began to become chaotic.
Hao Qiang and Aguero frequently changed positions to launch attacks, which turned Stoke City's defense upside down. Silva organized from the outside and Navas attacked from the wing. Stoke City's goal was rife.
Their fans are terrified.
"What's going on? What's going on? Manchester City were on drugs during half-time?"
"Manchester City is in good shape, now it's bad!"
"It's broken, it's broken!"
The line of defense is dangerous and can be seen with the naked eye.
Stoke City fans can't console themselves.
In the 59th minute of the game, Hao Qiang sent a very comfortable direct pass from the wing to Clichy who came in behind.
Clichy went forward and penetrated the opponent's wing defense zone. He adjusted one step before passing the ball and passed the ball.
Cross ball?
Stoke City never seem to worry about air defense.
They are known as the City in the Sky!
High-altitude ball is a special skill regardless of offense or defense.
Look at Manchester City's forwards again. Hao Qiang is not in the penalty area. Is Aguero fighting for the high ball?
This is a joke!
Stoke City defenders subconsciously locked down the dwarf Aguero.
But the football landed behind the penalty area.
What caught them off guard was that Milner sneaked into the village, dived and headed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal!
The mentality of the Stoke City generals exploded!
Manchester City are too cunning!
Manchester City took the lead again and the fans were in high spirits.
"Back! Hao Huang is back, Aguero and the others are back too!"
"The invincible Manchester City are back!"
"Haha, even though Hao Huang hasn't scored a goal yet, you can see his role."
Milner rushed to celebrate, and the Manchester City generals nodded to each other as they hugged each other.
The game is not over yet, but the haze of the previous four rounds has been swept away.
Hao Qiang began to actively seek opportunities to score goals.
10 minutes later, Manchester City played a delicate passing attack in the frontcourt.
Aguero dribbled in from the left and passed the ball to Hao Qiang.
Hao Qiang, who met with his back on the penalty area line, kicked the ball back, then turned and pushed forward. Silva responded from behind and sent a through ball.
Hao Qiang succeeded in countering offside and got stuck to seize the line. The Stoke City defender turned around and chased back, but there was nothing he could do.
Hao Qiang did not expect Begovic to attack quickly. He decisively smashed the ball and changed direction to try to pass the opponent.
Begovic charged too hard and had no time to stop his efforts at this time, so he had to make a save.
As a result, he failed to hit the football when he landed, and instead threw Hao Qiang to the ground.
The referee blows the whistle and points to the penalty spot.
Manchester City fans are excited!
But there is also a bit of regret.
They originally thought they could see Hao Huang score a goal.
Aguero stood in front of the penalty spot, and he was determined to give in, but Hao Qiang's nonchalant look saved him from unnecessary action.
Then Aguero took the penalty and scored in one stroke.
Manchester City fans cheer.
Aguero took the initiative to run towards Hao Qiang and ran to the sidelines with him to celebrate.
Even though Aguero surpassed Hao Qiang in the number of goals scored, he became the top scorer in the Premier League.
But at this moment, he trusted Hao Qiang even more and was more sincerely convinced.
Manchester City's morale has improved again!
"It's different. Manchester City will be different when Hao Qiang comes back!"
"This was expected, but I didn't expect Manchester City to improve so quickly."
"The key is Hao Qiang's style and role. If he only wants to score goals to save Manchester City, then Manchester City's overall condition may not improve so quickly."
"Of course, Stoke City are not fools. They will definitely go all out to block Hao Qiang, but unexpectedly Hao Qiang mobilized the firepower of the entire team, which rapidly improved Manchester City's overall condition."
"This is the difference between top forwards and superstars. Just looking at the data, you would think that Hao Qiang is similar to Ronaldo. But unlike Messi, Hao Qiang, who has the ability to dribble and advance almost unstoppably, has developed his own style.
.”
"He's a bit like Beckenbauer on the front line."
Stoke City's mentality is shattered.
Sniping Manchester City is probably no longer possible.
Trailing 1:3, they can only struggle now.
In the 77th minute of the game, Hao Qiang switched positions to the left and then cut inside to receive Navas' cross.
Since the angle of attack was not very good, he chose to fly the ball with a header.
Silva stepped into the penalty area and unloaded the ball into his chest to hit a volley.
Clean and crisp, hit the bullseye.
Begovic looked helpless.
Stoke City were completely disheartened.
Manchester City 4:1 Stoke City.
A smile finally appeared on Pellegrini's face.
It has to be said that Hao Qiang's return made him no longer have random thoughts.
No matter whether he proves himself or not, at least Manchester City can win and stop their decline, and it will be a big win!
Putting the team first is the most important thing.
Just after 80 minutes of the game, Pellegrini took the lead in replacing Hao Qiang.
Manchester City fans gave enthusiastic applause.
Hao Qiang didn't score a goal today, but he helped Manchester City regain their confidence and form.
Considering the overall situation, this is better than Hao Huang performing a one-man show.
After the rain, the sky clears up.
Manchester City are back on track.
Even falling behind Chelsea gives Manchester City fans confidence.
Manchester City finally won the away game against Stoke City 4:1 and played a triumphant song.
Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea beat Everton to win.
After the game, Mourinho learned that Manchester City defeated Stoke City 4:1. He frowned slightly but at the same time he was filled with great pride.
Chelsea were overtaken once by Manchester City in the middle of the season.
After regaining the top spot, he will never allow Manchester City to overtake him again!
.....
Manchester City won and ended their decline, Fleet Street couldn't help but be happy.
They have been winless in the past four rounds, and this is the end of their efforts to trample Manchester City and add insult to injury.
You can't always criticize someone, you still have to praise someone when it's time to praise someone.
If you don't hold them up high, how can you feel comfortable stepping on them when they fall down?
Like they've been touting Chelsea lately.
Older gingers are more spicy.
Pellegrini's coaching time is no shorter than Mourinho's.
But in terms of achievements, Mourinho left Pellegrini eight blocks behind.
Manchester City are out of the FA Cup.
The next FA Cup match day will be rest and recuperation.
The training atmosphere within the team is high again.
Everyone is gearing up to regain lost ground in the standings and return to the top of the list as soon as possible.
During this period, the Chinese New Year Festival arrives.
Hao Qiang's home was decorated with lanterns and festive red lanterns, and his family celebrated the New Year together.
The six golden flowers poured tea for Hao Qiang's parents one by one on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and they were very happy. They were even more happy when they received a big red envelope.
Just for a good start.
Hao Sheng, who was already able to walk, was also taught by Cao Qingqing to kowtow to his grandparents, parents and five aunts in a serious way to pay New Year greetings.
He was so serious that he banged his forehead on the ground, which startled He Qing. He quickly got up and helped him up, for fear of breaking Hao Sheng's little forehead.
"Silly boy, just think for a moment and that's all. Why are you so stubborn? What if your brain gets damaged?"
Hao Sheng actually chuckled.
Hao Qiang also gave his son a red envelope, a symbolic amount of 100 yuan.
Their house is lively.
Manchester City club is also working hard.
During training, the players participated in making dumplings together and recorded a video to send New Year greetings to Chinese fans.
Speaking vague Chinese made Hao Qiang's scalp tingle.
However, the City Group behind Manchester City does have a Chinese investment background, and it is not an exaggeration for Manchester City players to wish Chinese fans New Year's greetings.
February 21st, the 26th round of the league.
Manchester City plays Newcastle United at home.
Even the billboards were scrolling with words wishing Chinese fans a Happy New Year.
The stadium is full and the atmosphere is hot.
After Hao Huang returned, the fans were resurrected with full blood.
Before the start of the Newcastle United game, the players reminded each other to stay in high spirits.
The referee blows the whistle to start the game.
Manchester City immediately launched a strong attack.
They are full of energy and full of fighting spirit.
Especially four days later they have to challenge Paris Saint-Germain as a guest.
Therefore, this game is expected to be decided quickly.
In the 3rd minute of the game, Navas burst in from the right, and Newcastle United paid attention to Hao Qiang's position.
But seeing that Hao Qiang did not enter the penalty area, he was a little relieved.
But after Navas passed the ball to the center from the right, Silva changed positions with Hao Qiang as he advanced.
He took the lead in passing the ball into the penalty area and passed the ball back when he was chased and intercepted.
Hao Qiang stopped the ball and sent it through.
The football rolled into the left flank of the penalty area.
Aguero cuts inside and creates a great shooting opportunity.
Defender Coloccini was eager to save the ball and directly made a tackle.
Aguero moved the ball to dodge, but was tripped and fell to the ground.
The referee's whistle sounded.
Newcastle United's generals collapsed with their heads in their hands.
Because they saw the referee pointing to the penalty spot.
Aguero was pulled up by Hao Qiang.
He took the penalty and steadily sent the ball into the lower left corner of the goal.
The Etihad Stadium is buzzing!
A dream start!
"Is Aguero expected to win the Premier League Golden Boot this year?"
"Of course it's possible. After scoring this goal, he has scored 23 goals this season."
"Hao Huang is close behind with 21 goals, but in terms of efficiency, Hao Huang is still higher."
"But I think Hao Huang will still be the biggest favorite for the Premier League Golden Boot!"
Newcastle United did not expect to concede the goal so quickly.
What about sniping Manchester City?
Manchester City's form soared, and Newcastle United was beaten a little embarrassed.
Now that the score is behind, I feel even more flustered.
Manchester City's fierce attack continued, and the fans were extremely excited to watch.
In the 11th minute of the game, Milner, who came in from behind, took a long shot from outside the penalty area and made goalkeeper Krul save.
Hao Qiang took the lead in the penalty area and then swept the rebounded football into the lower right corner of the goal.
Countless Manchester City fans cheered wildly!
Hao Qiang ran to the sidelines to celebrate.
"Hao Huang finally scored!"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't make it sound like it's difficult for Hao Huang to score a goal."
"Haha, Hao Huang scored, this game is a sure win."
The Manchester City generals were all smiles and their morale was even stronger.
The expressions of Newcastle United fans are extremely complicated.
The game was already behind by two goals in less than 15 minutes?
Manchester City last month wasn't so scary either.
Why can't we send warmth when it's our turn?
Everton and Hull City can both score points from Manchester City.
Why should they be bloodied and beaten to death by Manchester City?
It's not fair!
Newcastle United players also felt that the trend of this game was very dangerous.
But there is no reason not to fight back.
If you don't fight back, you'll have to wait to die.
So they unified their thinking to compete head-on with Manchester City.
Manchester City led by two goals, and the team's rhythm dropped.
If we say Hao Qiang's main contribution after his return is to restore the team's morale and state.
So if Manchester City wants to become stronger, they can't just rely on a brute force to increase the rhythm and attack the opponent's defense.
Strengthening the improvement of offensive quality is a long-term project that a team takes step by step in the process of improving its combat effectiveness.
This cannot be achieved immediately, nor can it be achieved overnight.
It needs to be tempered through long-term competition.
Manchester City controlled the rhythm and enhanced the quality of their offense.
Newcastle United blew the charge.
In the 21st minute of the game, Newcastle United completed a threatening offensive in the frontcourt, but forward Gufran's shot was too forward and was blocked by Joe Hart.
Manchester City's offensive pace was slow before because it was a difficult situation.
Now that there is a counterattack and fast break opportunity, the team quickly speeds up.
Hao Qiang and Aguero moved quickly in the frontcourt. Aguero penetrated into the heart of Newcastle United's defense faster than Hao Qiang. After entering the penalty area, he changed direction and rushed towards the center of the goal.
Navas advanced swiftly from the right and decisively sent a cross from the edge of the penalty area.
Aguero attracted two central defenders to retreat and start a pincer attack.
Hao Qiang, who entered the penalty area at the last step, looked at the path of the football and adjusted his direction to the left area in front of the small penalty area.
Neither Aguero nor the Newcastle United defender touched the ball. The former had no chance to attack the goal and ran away alone. The latter was unable to clear the ball. When he turned to look at where the ball landed, his face was filled with fear.
Hao Qiang ran just in front of the ball's landing point. The angle of attack was a bit tight, but he did not hesitate to swing his left leg to volley.
It's very difficult.
He tried his best to control his footwork.
The football is like a cannonball that hits the dead center!
Newcastle United goalkeeper Krul was slow to make the save, and then looked back at the football spinning in the goal and was stunned.
Even if this shooting skill is not the best, it is definitely outstanding among the top ranks!
"Wow! Hao Huang scored twice and directly caught up with Aguero!"
"Haha, no matter who wins the golden boot, Hao Huang or Aguero, the top and second place scorers in the Premier League this season will be ours!"
"Strong, so strong! Hao Huang's volley shot shocked everyone with his skills!"
Hao Qiang roared and rushed to the sideline to celebrate by sliding on his knees.
Attracts countless eyes.
The Newcastle United players are filled with regret.
How sloppy!
Their active counterattack gave Manchester City a chance to play a fast break.
Isn't this a doorstep for Manchester City to slaughter wantonly?
But what else can they do?
The strength gap between the two teams seems to have determined that as long as Manchester City does not stretch its legs, and Newcastle United cannot overthrow the Premier League giants at the Etihad Stadium unless they are in superb condition and performance!
