Chapter 496 He is more than just a legend
Pellegrini never dreamed that he could be upstaged by Yang Mo when he "lost" Yang Mo at Manchester City.

On April 4, after the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester City, without Yang Mo, still defeated Dortmund 16-1 at the Westfalenstadion and eliminated Dortmund with a total score of 2-13. Advance to the semi-finals.

After two rounds, the score was 12 goals.

Such a gap has broken the record for the largest difference in the history of the Champions League.

After World War I, Dortmund, who became the background board, was destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame.

And their head coach Klopp is destined to make the history of world football remember his racial discrimination incident before the game because of this game.

But even so, when the game was over, what everyone saw the most was not the news about Manchester City's record-setting promotion, but the news about Yang Mo running to participate in a street football match to make a big splash.

Faced with this situation, Pellegrini was really dumbfounded.

If Yang Mo went to play some extreme sports that might cause physical damage, Pellegrini would definitely call Yang Mo to criticize him.

But Yang Mo went to play street football with no confrontation at all, so he really couldn't say anything.

Compared with Pellegrini, the reaction of the teammates was relatively large. Aguero kept yelling to let the showy Yang Mo treat him to dinner.

Of course, Yang Mo's limelight in street football games is just a joke for Manchester City.

What is really important to Manchester City is the race in full swing.

After entering the semi-finals of the Champions League, their opponent is Porto who defeated Schalke 04.

Although the semi-finals of the second half of the region have not yet started, the outside media collectively believe that Manchester City has already determined to enter the final of this UEFA Champions League.

No one would think that European black shop Porto can stop Manchester City in the semi-finals.

Compared with the one-sided evaluation in the lower half, the semi-finals in the upper half will be much more lively.

Barcelona, ​​which defeated Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern, which defeated Juventus, met in the semi-finals of the upper half.

This game, before it even started, was much more attractive than the match between Mars and the Earth, and the seemingly cruel Manchester City vs. Porto.

After the Manchester City team returned to Manchester City, Yang Mo finally returned to the team for training, and did not need a few young people such as Bilson to accompany him.

However, because of the great limelight in the street ball game, Yang Mo could not escape the "blame" of his teammates, and in the end he could only "finish the matter" with a big meal.

After the relaxation of the street ball game, Yang Mo returned to the rhythm of training and competition.

On April 4, Manchester City was a guest at White Hart Lane Stadium against rival Tottenham.

Although Yang Mo was unable to play in this game due to suspension, he still came to London with the team.

After training with the team in London the day before, Yang Mo appeared in the stands of White Hart Lane the next day, accompanied by his girlfriend Barbara.

The two were wearing sportswear and baseball caps, and their looks were very low-key.

But even though the two were dressed in a low-key manner, the cameraman on the field still keenly captured the two of them.

In fact, it can’t be called sharp. After all, the fans around are all excitedly filming with their mobile phones, and it’s hard for the camera not to notice.

"Yang Mo..."

"Isn't this Yang Mo? I didn't expect Yang Mo to come to White Hart Lane with his teammates after being unable to play because of the suspension."

"Before when Yang Mo's teammates went to Germany for the Champions League match, he took the time to win a street football championship in Manchester. Even if he doesn't play, there will be news about him."

"This game is against Tottenham, it seems that Yang Mo is here to cheer for his teammates..."

As the camera captured Yang Mo's figure, all the TV commentators broadcasting the match all over the world turned their attention to Yang Mo, and Zhan Jun was no exception.

In fact, even if Yang Mo did not come to the scene, this game is also the most important game of the No.30 four rounds after the Premier League.

Because of the relationship between the Champions League and the FA Cup, Manchester City did not play the No.30 three rounds of the league, so although this game is 34 rounds played with other teams, for Manchester City, it is actually 33 rounds.

For Manchester City, there are only six rounds left in this league.

With one game less, Manchester City's points are 7 points higher than Manchester United.

If Manchester City wants to win the championship, they only need to win three of the last six games including this one. The advantage of defending the league champion is huge.

For Manchester City, it is of course better to win this game against Tottenham, and it doesn't matter if they can't win. Anyway, there are still weak teams behind for him to score points.

As long as the league is not too tense, it can accumulate more energy for the Champions League.

After all, every player in Manchester City, whether physically or mentally, has been exhausted since one season, and it takes a while to relax.

Speaking of it, Manchester City's luck is relatively good. In the Champions League, Porto, the weakest of the semi-finals, is not known to be much stronger than Bayern's death against Barcelona.

In the league, after playing Tottenham this time, there is no longer a strong team as an opponent.

In the final sprint stage, such a schedule is definitely great news for Manchester City.

But before that, we have to play Tottenham first.

With the whistle of the referee, the focus of the Premier League match at White Hart Lane officially began.

Although Yang Mo was suspended and unable to play, Manchester City, who became more and more confident, attacked decisively at the beginning and launched a siege against Tottenham.

In the 27th minute of the first half, Manchester City, which had been besieged for a long time, finally broke through Tottenham's defense.

Aguero crossed the goal from the right, and Ibrahimovic sent the football with his long legs to help Manchester City open the scoring.

And just 3 minutes after the first goal, Manchester City made a comeback by ending Tottenham's midfield pass. Yaya Toure made a long-range shot from outside the penalty area and expanded the score to 0-2.

Seeing that Manchester City took a two-goal lead in the first half, many fans have already started to leave messages online, thinking that Manchester City is going to win the game.

And the commentators also collectively praised Manchester City's strength.

"Even without Yang Mo, this Manchester City team is invincible..."

Zhan Jun's voice was extremely confident.

However, there is an old saying in China that the world is unpredictable.

After falling behind by two goals, Tottenham did not fall into discouragement. Instead, they defended desperately in the first half, curbed Manchester City's momentum of consecutive goals, and successfully dragged the 0-2 score into the second half.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester City's advantage in the first half seemed to make the Manchester City team become arrogant, and the game became more and more impetuous.

In the 67th minute of the second half, Aguero forced a kick to hit the goal without a chance, and Tottenham seized the opportunity to counterattack.

No. 8 veteran Parker made a long pass from the midfielder. Adebayor, who was once a former Manchester City player, received the ball in front of the penalty area and ran out single-handedly.

"Oops... Manchester City missed the ball too much!"

"Barry in the midfield failed to keep up with Parker, and Thiago Silva in the backcourt made a defensive error, giving Adebayor a great opportunity..."

"It can only be said that without Yang Mo, the captain, on the field, Manchester City feels that they lack restraint and play too impetuously when they are leading."

"It seems that Yang Mo's suspension still has an impact on Manchester City. I only hope that the players on the Manchester City field can learn the lesson of this ball..."

From the performance of Manchester City players, Zhan Jun saw something.

But Zhan Jun never expected that not long after he finished speaking, another accident happened to Manchester City.

In the 75 minutes of the second half, when facing Tottenham's offense, Manchester City once again missed a man.

It's still Adebayor. This time, the former Manchester City player threw away the Manchester City captain Kompany, and then easily scored in front of the goal. He scored twice and equalized the score.

Tottenham equalized the score, and the stands at White Hart Lane were completely boiling.

Yang Mo, who was sitting in the reserved seat, couldn't help frowning, was also captured by the camera.

"First Thiago Silva, then Kompany, Manchester City's consecutive mistakes gave Adebayor a chance and allowed Tottenham to tie the game!"

"It's still the same sentence, if Yang Mo is not present, Manchester City just lacks energy and energy, which makes people feel unreliable no matter how they look at it."

"Not good! When Kompany was defending just now, he seemed to be injured, and he took the initiative to apply for exit."

While the Tottenham players were celebrating collectively, the cameras on the field suddenly and keenly captured Kompany's movements, which caught Zhan Jun's attention.

I saw Kompany being supported by Barry and walking towards the field, his left leg was limping, and he seemed to be injured.

At this time, the director decisively gave a playback.

I saw in the playback screen that when Kompany was defending Adebayor just now, his knee seemed to hit Adebayor's leg.

Then when Adebayor took the shot, Kompany jumped up on one leg, apparently injured.

At this time, Kompany was injured. Even though Pellegrini knew that the teenager Nastasic was not safe, he could only let him replace Kompany.

And his decision eventually led to the biggest turning point of the game.

In the last 89 minutes of the game, Tottenham got a corner kick.

Dembele kicked the ball into the penalty area, and Nastasic, who came off the bench, accidentally smashed the ball into the Manchester City goal with his leg when he was fighting for the top.

"The referee says the goal is valid!"

"Nastacic scored an own goal at the last moment of the game, helping Tottenham overtake the score!"

"From a two-goal lead to being tied, and then being reversed by an own goal, I am afraid that the development of this game has exceeded everyone's expectations."

"We can see that Nastasic's expression is very upset, but it is of no avail. There are only 3 minutes of stoppage time left in the game. Tottenham may not give Manchester City a chance to tie the score."

Sure enough, just as Zhan Jun said, when Tottenham were about to accept a draw, they suddenly received such a big gift from Nastasic, how could it be easy for Manchester City to equalize the score again.

With a long snake array in front of the goal, Tottenham withstood Manchester City's final struggle and dragged the game until the referee declared the game over.

"It's over! The game is over!"

"Man City lost the game in an unexpected way."

"When Tottenham fell behind by two goals in the first half, they scored three consecutive goals in the second half to complete the reversal and defeated Manchester City, which has been invincible recently."

"Although this victory was helped by Nastasic's mistakes at the end, judging from the second half alone, Manchester City's performance in fighting spirit is far inferior to Tottenham."

"This Premier League super battleship built by money, whether it was before or now, has this problem of weak fighting will."

"However, after Yang Mo joined, under the leadership of Yang Mo's leadership, Manchester City gradually became better and better."

"But when Yang Mo was suspended and left the game, the old problem of Manchester City's mercenary team reappeared. Such a Manchester City, [-]-[-] loss to Tottenham is not wronged at all."

According to Zhan Jun's comments, this game in which Manchester City was reversed is over.

On the plane back to Manchester, no one in the Manchester City team dared to look Yang Mo in the eye.

Compared with coach Pellegrini, Manchester City players seem to be more afraid of the captain Yang Mo.

Even though Yang Mo didn't show any abnormalities, he didn't criticize this game, but encouraged everyone to play well in the next game.

But the more Yang Mo is like this, the more everyone feels that there is a problem.

In the end, Aguero couldn't bear it anymore, and was the first to criticize Yang Mo: "This game is my problem."

"No, I'm the captain on the field, it's because I didn't do well."

Kompany, who has been diagnosed with a ligament strain and will be sidelined for a month, is the second to say.

"It was my own goal that caused everyone to lose."

Nastasic, who scored an own goal, is the most self-blaming person in the team.

Watching his teammates stand up one by one to take responsibility, Yang Mo smiled slightly and looked at everyone.

"Is there any team in the world that doesn't lose?"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what Yang Mo meant.

"Obviously, there is no team in this world that doesn't lose."

Speaking of this, Yang Mo looked at Nastasic.

"Zidane, Beckham and Guti have all scored own goals. Can you say that they are not top players? There is no team in this world that does not lose, and there is no player who will never make mistakes, so this game We lost the game, it's normal, Nastasic made a mistake, it was just an accident."

"What we have to do now is not to place the responsibility for the loss on anyone, but to believe that we are still the strongest team, and then win a beautiful victory in the next game."

Yang Mo watched everyone say these words, and in an instant, the haze in everyone's hearts was swept away.

The captain, who is only 22 years old, has this kind of light that will make people blame themselves, convince people, and inspire everyone.

He doesn't have to blame his teammates, others will feel guilty first.

But when everyone starts to blame themselves, he will restore everyone's confidence. This is the temperament of a leader.

"You think Yang will become a legend in the future?" At the end of the cabin, Pellegrini looked at Yang Mo and asked assistant coach Kidd.

But before Kidd could answer, Pellegrini seemed to say something on his own.

"He's more than a legend."
