Chapter 653: Chapter 652: Terrifying Blue Moon, Towards Greatness
"Manchester City really are a disaster’s bottle opener! I remember they did something similar last season, didn’t they?"
"So brutal! Manchester City’s players have no heart, they don’t know what kindness is!"
"Heartless! Manchester City have failed in terms of sportsmanship!"
Eight to zero!
Can you believe it?
A scoreline that ordinary teams might not see once in decades, Manchester City manages to produce every season.
That so-called notoriety is slowly built up just like this.
And the game had only just passed seventy minutes.
The seventy-ninth minute.
Maicon and Ribery were pairing up on the wing again.
They had completely turned the right flank into the ’Maicon-Ribery Corridor’, and although the name didn’t sound very nice, it was brutally effective in practice.
Receiving the ball, Maicon played a through pass.
Ribery, after a series of rhythmic changes in pace, created space for himself and made a tight-angled shot on goal.
The Lockrun goalkeeper was probably the most devastated person on the pitch, but he still did his job, blocking Ribery’s shot.
Bang!
The next moment, Manchester City’s number ten came storming in.
He finished with a follow-up shot into the net.
"GOAL!"
"Nine to zero!"
"Deng Kai! Deng Kai has completed a hat trick! This is Manchester City’s first hat trick in European competition in decades!"
"Deng Kai rushes towards the corner flag area, he leaps high into the air."
"Here it comes, here it comes!"
"The whole stadium together...Siuuuuuuu!"
The decibel level at the scene officially broke one hundred and thirty!
Etihad Stadium, pure pandemonium.
The entire Lockrun team collapsed at this moment.
Especially their goalkeeper, who was like a walking corpse.
The eighty-second minute, Ribery earned a corner.
Deng Kai took the corner kick.
Young center-back Kompany leapt high and headed the ball cleanly into the net.
Ten to zero!
The score is in double digits!
This match went from football to basketball!
This was also Kompany’s first goal since joining Manchester City, as well as his first in a top-five league.
He had a feeling he was going to have a brilliant career.
An excited Kompany also began a fervent celebration.
But Lockrun’s players finally exploded.
The player marking Kompany pushed him down from behind.
After getting up, Kompany retaliated.
A large-scale conflict erupted between the players.
The match went from football to boxing.
In the end, the Lockrun player who initiated the aggression was sent off with a red card.
On Manchester City’s side, Kompany and Mascherano, the main instigators, received yellow cards.
That’s the consequence of playing football without leaving any room for the opposition.
The eighty-seventh minute.
Torres and Villa swapped positions, and Deng Kai took the chance to send a through ball to the left flank.
Torres created a gust with his feet, speeding down the wing and delivering a cross after overpowering his opponent.
The pass wasn’t great, but the advancing Villa, expert in shooting, poked the ball in to score, making it a brace for himself.
Eleven to zero!
Manchester City really showed no mercy!
The scary thing is that these young players, and the substitutes, played too ferociously with the wind at their backs.
Each of them played like a damn superstar.
To this, Deng Kai could only say, "Drop that ’like’ word!"
In the third minute of stoppage time.
A lackluster Lockrun fullback made a passing mistake that Villa intercepted and passed forward with a through ball in return.
Torres received the ball and went one-on-one, then scored the goal, likewise achieving a brace.
In the sixth minute of stoppage time.
David Silva made a wall pass with Torres, then performed a fake and played a beautiful nutmeg through ball.
Villa ran a bit too far, but he didn’t forcibly go for it because he saw a flash of blue from the corner of his eye.
Manchester City’s left-back Ashley Young also broke into the box and unleashed a powerful shot that broke through the goalkeeper’s ten-finger defense.
Don’t ask why he was there, kids from the Ashley family all have an attacking heart!
Thirteen to zero!
Finally, the main referee blew the whistle to end the match.
The flashlights flickered wildly.
The entire Etihad Stadium celebrated the biggest feast of the season.
They set a new record for the biggest score margin in the history of the UEFA Europa League!
Unprecedented, and possibly never to be surpassed!
...
"Bloody! Manchester City creates the first massacre in the UEFA Europa League with thirteen to zero, announcing their advance to the next round ahead of time!"
"No one survived! Lockrun players’ confidence is shattered, the goalkeeper announces he is seeking treatment from a psychologist and does not rule out the possibility of retirement!"
"King of European Battle! Deng Kai scores a hat-trick and two assists, contributing to five goals and dominating the UEFA Europa League goal and assist rankings!"
"If youth had a color, it must be Manchester’s blue! Manchester City scores thirteen goals, with Deng Kai wearing a hat, and Adriano, Villa, and Torres all scoring braces, six players completing assists, and eight scoring goals!"
"Terrifying Blue Moon! Hellish Home Ground! Etihad Stadium will become every visiting team’s nightmare!"
Invincible!
Manchester City went wild with a thirteen to zero victory.
This round of matches, never mind the other UEFA Europa League games, even the Champions League’s buzz was overwhelmed by Manchester City.
All of Europe and even the world’s football media are crying wolf is coming!
When Manchester City won the FA Cup and the League Cup, nobody paid attention to them.
When they won the Community Shield Cup, still, no one paid attention.
Even when they had two draws and four wins in the first six Premier League matches, there was no attention.
But this thirteen to zero has awakened the entire world.
This Manchester City team is the one that has taken the Knight’s sword from Arsenal and is about to drag Manchester United down from the throne!
All the major teams scrambled to interview the Manchester City players.
Especially those who weren’t often in the spotlight but had played well in this match.
Torres: "I am in great form, and I’m very eager to play right now."
Villa: "I feel like I am becoming the best version of myself, it’s really pleasant to play for Manchester City."
Bullshit, how could thirteen to zero not be pleasant?
Adriano: "Luckily my head wasn’t blown up by the goalpost. Kai said I have a talent for heading and considering my head must be tough, it seems true."
Ribery: "It’s really pleasant to cooperate with Maicon, he can deal with all of my opponents for me."
Maicon: "Ribery is the best winger in my eyes, he can handle all the opponents!"
Lahm: "Manchester City is on the right path, we have the best leader, the best head coach, the best assistant coaches, and so many outstanding players, we are full of confidence in this season."
Fabregas: "We are a team with dominating power in matches, and we’re getting more and more dominant!"
David Silva: "This is a team that allows players to express their talent, as long as you can meet the team’s requirements, the team will provide you with the stage you need."
Kompany: "I’m honored to be part of Manchester City, some people compared me with Feng Te, which I think is not right. Feng Te is much better than me in many aspects, he taught me a lot."
Ashley Young: "I’m very satisfied with my position, and I also hope that my performance can satisfy the team and the fans."
