The strongest blade in football

Chapter 128 I'm Not a Parallel Importer! (4000 word chapter)
Three days later, the second round of the Europa League play-offs began, and Manchester City played against Timisoara at home.

Balotelli, who had just been suspended by the team for one game, unfortunately suffered another car accident.

The Audi A8 driven by Balotelli collided with a BMW on Chester Road on Saturday morning. Fortunately, Balotelli himself was not seriously injured, but suffered a little difficulty breathing after the accident.

He was originally the starter in Mancini's heart, but for the sake of insurance, he will not participate in the game for the time being.

Wang Nuo can finally make his debut in this game!

At the same time, he also basically figured out Mancini's formation arrangement. He likes to use 451 in the league leader and 442 in the cup.

As the relationship between Mancini and Adebayor eased, the African footballer also got the chance to play.

So the starting striker of this Europa League became Wang Nuo and Adebayor acting as double arrows.

When Timisoara came to the away game, apart from being eye-opening to the luxurious Manchester City Stadium, what he didn't expect was the opponent in front of him.

Compared with the first leg, these are two completely different teams!
Although Mancini said before the game that he would make a rotation, no one thought that Mancini changed 7 people at once!

Barry, Adam Johnson, Carlos Tevez, Yaya Toure, and Lescott all sat on the bench talking and laughing, while Kolo Toure and Milner were not included in the 18-man squad at all.

Behind the substantial rotation is Mancini's strong confidence in the team.

The victory over Liverpool just now made Mancini proud and Manchester United a little upset.

Before this game, Ferguson kept blowing in front of the media, putting a lot of pressure on Manchester City——

"Man City made a 'kamikaze' package this summer! They're a bunch of gamblers!"

The "Sun" also took advantage of the situation and commented: "Manchester City can't buy superstars, so they can only settle for the next best thing. They want to buy Villa, but they bought David Silva. They wanted to buy Torres, but they didn't. Bought Balotelli, who has a brain problem."

Even Wang Nuo was shot.

They said, "For an unknown Chinese boy, Manchester City spent more than 1000 million, and Manchester United spent the same money to buy Ronaldo, and this Chinese is obviously not even a tenth of Ronaldo! The money is enough A year's salary for 600 MPs in Manchester!"

Wang Nuo also read the report in The Sun, cut it out with scissors, and pasted it on a wall.

Wang Nuo built two walls at home, one side posted all the words that praised him, and the other side posted all the words that questioned and slandered him. He wanted to use this method to keep himself always clear-headed.

He understands that to play in a big club, he must learn to keep his heart.

And when he looked at the speeches that questioned him, a flame of fighting spirit would be ignited in his heart. For him, this first start is very precious.

This game is not a Europa League play-off, he will play it as the Champions League final!

At 7:45 in the middle of the week, the temperature is neither high nor low.

With the breeze blowing on his face, Wang Nuo strode into the court with his head held high. He is ready, he is capable of everything!
After the game started, Wang Nuo found a sense of familiarity, just like when he was playing in League One, he had enough time to control the ball under his feet.

Other Manchester City players hardly felt the pressure. After returning home, without the interference of those unfavorable factors, Timisoara could not pose any threat to everyone at all. The rhythm of this Romanian team is too slow!

At the beginning of the game, several players played extremely well, such as David Silva.

Wang Nuo has always felt that David Silva is a truly top-level player. In the previous few games, he lost his magic power in training games in the high-intensity confrontation and fouls in the Premier League, but in this game, David Silva simply It's Maradona!
He is not good at speed and confrontation. He frequently walks in the middle of the wing, even in the ribs of the penalty area, tearing apart the opponent's defense time and time again through passing and running.

He seldom tackles, but he can always effectively interfere with the opponent's offensive organization. He rarely crosses, but he can always send wonderful through balls!

In the 15th minute, Wang Nuo received an incredible through ball on the edge of the penalty area.

In fact, Wang Nuo was just running according to the tactical requirements at first, and the team's attack direction was not on his side.

Until he leaned out halfway from the opponent's No. 6 Burka, a thought came out of his mind——

It would be great if the ball could be passed at this time, because he is not offside, and Timisoara's defense is focused on Adebayor.

Just at this time, he found someone shouted loudly from behind, and then the football rolled from his oblique rear view to a position one meter away in front of him, and it caught up with his pace very comfortably!

what's the situation!
Wang Nuo was like a dream, but he soon realized that this was David Silva's masterpiece!
Golden opportunity!

If it is in training, he may shoot directly at the ball, the angle is a bit off, but the probability of scoring is not small.

But in the game, such an opportunity cannot be wasted, and he must seize it well.

Wang Nuo chose a more secure way of playing. He kept the ball under his feet, seized the opportunity, and suddenly dunked the center back Lu Qien. When everyone was caught off guard, he quickly took a big step in the middle.

In his eyes, the goal became as big as a rainbow. The young goalkeeper Pantilimon performed well in the last round and caught Mancini's attention. But facing Wang Nuo who was close at hand, he still panicked all of a sudden. god.

Pantilimon did not attack, and Wang Nuo was able to make adjustments before shooting more calmly.

Wang Nuo glanced at the goalkeeper's position, and out of the striker's intuition, he kicked the ball to the right of the goal without hesitation.

This kick hit a half-high ball, and the angle was not very tricky. Fortunately, the ball was fast enough, and Pantilimon couldn't react in time, so he could only make an ineffective save.

There is no suspense, the ball is scored!

Wang Nuo broke the goal!
This is his first goal in an official game on behalf of Manchester City!

Wang Nuo excitedly rushed to David Silva who gave him a wonderful assist, and with a little effort, he hugged the short Spaniard by the waist!

"You are amazing! Magician Merlin!" Wang Nuo praised sincerely.

The nickname in Wang Nuo's mouth was given to Silva by Lescott, which means that Silva's performance on the training ground is like a magician.

David Silva was also very happy to send an assist, but because of his poor English, he just smiled and repeated the same word to Wang Nuo, "perfect!" "perfect!"

Teammates came to hug the two of them one after another, and everyone had a good impression of Wang Nuo and David Silva.

Especially this Chinese guy, he has always maintained a humble attitude, his eyes are always shining, he is serious and hardworking, like a sponge that keeps improving.

The goal was indeed scored beautifully. Whether it was a pass or a subsequent escape and shot, it was done in one go, as if the two had been playing together for a long time.

On the sidelines, Mancini clenched his fist and waved twice in the air, then turned and returned to the coach's bench. In his heart, the Europa League match was completely assured.

In the next game, the situation on the court was similar to what most people expected. Manchester City suppressed the frontcourt and continued to attack violently. Timisoara lost ground and struggled to support.

In this game, the players rotated by Manchester City are more than enough to play in the Premier League, let alone the opposite Romanian team.

After scoring a goal, Wang Nuo's mentality became more relaxed, while Silva still shuttled freely in the frontcourt. He once created some space on the right and passed the ball across the small penalty area.

It's a pity that he threw his whole body out, but he still missed by a hair, didn't reach, and bumped into the goal post in embarrassment.

However, it still received warm applause from the fans.

Manchester City fans are like this. They don't criticize the players' performance on the field. Even if the players perform badly, they rarely boo the players. Instead, they often encourage the players.

And Wang Nuo's attitude of putting all his efforts into the game can easily win their love.

The 1-0 score remained until the end of the first half.

After the start of the second half, Timisoara made substitution adjustments. Ziku replaced the mediocre forward Magra, and midfielder Kirtan was also replaced. They wanted to make a last-ditch effort.

It's a pity that facing Manchester City, which was challenged by the original team in the first half, they still had nothing to do. They took risks several times, but left Manchester City with an opportunity.

Manchester City expanded their lead in the 58th minute. Silva took a free kick on the right. Pantilimon made a rash attack and failed to touch the ball. Kompany nodded and headed into the empty goal, 2-0!

This time, Timisoara completely gave up on himself.

They knew that they would definitely not be able to enter the Europa League, so they simply pushed across the board, just wanting to score a goal on Manchester City's territory.

With Timisoara desperate, Wang Nuo has quite a few offensive opportunities, and there are loopholes everywhere in front of his eyes.

Wang Nuo kept showing off his little skills, like a muscular loach, the more he tried to catch him with his hands, but he always escaped from his hands and kept attacking Timisoara's defense line.

In the 71st minute, Wang Nuo received a pass in the penalty area, which was passed by David Silva again.

He knew that someone was guarding him on the right side, and he might not get any benefits if he broke through rashly, so he pretended to be helpless and dribbled the ball back with nothing.

Then, Wang Nuo counted silently in his heart, and when the guy next to him relaxed his vigilance, he suddenly turned around!

With a whoosh, Wang Nuo quickly started. What he was waiting for was such a moment, which caught the other party off guard!
He quickly re-entered the penalty area, leaving Contra behind and gaining space to shoot!
It's a pity that the position is not very good, the shooting angle is very small, the goalkeeper is already in position, and there is a defender between them.

Wang Nuo's teammates and Timisoara players thought Wang Nuo was going to pass the ball, but Wang Nuo wanted to score a legendary goal!
Everyone knows that it is very difficult to score from that position. The ball is best hit on the side of the net. I guess the goalkeeper Pantalimón thought the same way. He didn't move, he didn't even raise his arm.

Wang Nuo quickly swung his legs and shot furiously, "Boom!"

For a moment, Wang Nuo almost thought he had sent the ball flying, and he wasn't the only one who thought so.

There were no cheers in the stands, and Mancini, who stood up again from the coach's bench, also shook his head, as if to say, "It's not a good choice, this ball is over."

Mancini even turned his head away and began to observe the positions of other players.

Until Wang Nuo immediately raised his arms and started running towards the stands behind the goal like a madman, and at the same time excitedly began to celebrate.

Then, the whole stadium woke up like a dream.

The ball didn't hit the side of the net!
It hits the corner of the post at an incredible angle and flies into the net!
Pantalimon didn't even have time to reach out, no one expected such a result!
The home fans were deeply shocked by this violent volley from a small angle. They all stood up from their seats and cheered even more enthusiastically than the last victory over Liverpool!

The fans in the front row huddled together, wanting to high-five and hug Wang Nuo, while the people behind them were jumping and shouting, and no one could keep calm.

What Steven Howard, the chief sports commentator of The Sun, said about Wang Nuo before the game became a complete joke. Wang Nuo justified himself with two real goals——

"Is this ball exciting! I'm not a parallel importer!"

Wang Nuo found a camera lens. He faced the camera and shouted out the words he was holding back in his heart in Chinese!
A few seconds later, he was pushed from behind by his teammates. Wang Nuo didn't know who it was, but before he had time to react, he plunged into the arms of the fans.

The fans in the front row slapped him enthusiastically, oh, it was like beating Wang Nuo, but Wang Nuo could feel their enthusiasm.

Wang Nuo pulled out, kissed the team badge to everyone, and blew kisses to the audience.

In the end, Manchester City won another 3-0 at home and successfully entered the Europa League group stage!

In the post-match scoring, Wang Nuo, who scored two goals, and Silva, who sent three assists, both scored high points, but the best player was won by Wang Nuo!

After Manchester City played Liverpool, those domestic reporters didn't leave at all. They gathered in Manchester and watched Wang Nuo all the time.

After the game, Wang Nuo was immediately surrounded by long guns and short guns, and all kinds of compliments poured down on him like a honeypot, making Wang Nuo's Manchester City teammates look stupid.

At the press conference, Mancini also showed a rare happy smile and commented on the performance of Wang Nuo and Silva in Italian.

"Silva? He is one of the best frontcourt players in the world. I noticed him when Inter Milan played Valencia in the Champions League in 05! He can adapt to the Premier League very quickly. I have absolute respect for him. confidence!"

"As for Wang Nuo, do I need to say anything more about today's performance? He is only 19 years old, and both he and Balotelli are my investments in the future of Manchester City! They both have a bright future!"

"In Manchester City now, there are more than two excellent players in each position. This year we are in the Europa League. Next year, the year after, we will play in the Champions League and play more and more games."

"The team must maintain sufficient competitiveness. We are a club with great ambitions."
