Chapter 145 He is not on the same level as Messi [Third update]

The sun shines twice.

Monaco leads 2-1 away from home.

This has pushed Manchester City into a desperate situation.

Manchester City, playing at home, doesn't need to think about anything else next. They must attack and must score goals.

Facing Manchester City’s crazy counterattack.

Monaco's defense was under tremendous pressure.

ten minutes later.

Jardim made a substitution.

Moutinho comes on and replaces B Silva.

The formation was adjusted to 442 and Monaco began to focus on counterattacks.

But soon, Yalding felt it was not safe yet.

He continued to make substitutions.

Central defender Raggi comes on to replace Lemar.

Monaco plays with 3 central defenders.

If Monaco can maintain this score and return to their home court, they will be very confident of advancing.

Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium cheered enthusiastically, pushing Manchester City players to launch an attack.

The game time entered the 87th minute.

Sterling dribbled the ball into the penalty area from the left, and then had physical contact with center back Germerson when cutting inside.

The Englishman immediately fell to the ground with his arms outstretched.

The referee hesitated for a moment, blew the whistle and pointed to the penalty spot.

This made everyone stunned for a moment.

Jemerson stared at the referee in disbelief: "He dived!"

"Sterling fell down! Penalty? That's right! It's a penalty!"

"Sterling fell down oh oh oh, penalty! Manchester City got the best chance to score!"

to the exclamations of the commentators.

The cheers from the entire Etihad Stadium reached the sky.

Monaco players held their heads in their hands and ran towards the referee.

“That’s no contact at all!”

"He's overdoing it!"

"He's faking! He's faking!"

Monaco's players were emotional.

They were about to win away from home, but they were awarded a penalty near the end of the game?!

Who can accept this?

Jardim was very angry about the referee's call on the sidelines.

He roared at the fourth official: "He's diving! This is definitely a dive!"

Seeing that the fourth official ignored him, Yalding could only vent his anger on the court: "Hey! Hey! Liar! You are a liar!"

But he had no other choice but to vent his anger verbally.

When Germersson saw that the referee ignored his protest, he ran towards Sterling who had already stood up and said, "You liar! You villain!"

He was extremely sad and angry.

At this time, the big screen was also replaying the process of Sterling falling.

"It looks like Sterling kicked the ground with his toes when he cut inside."

He Wei stared at the monitor for a long time and said.

"It's true that he fell down, but it wasn't a penalty."

He Wei shook his head and said.

The TV screen repeatedly played the process of Sterling falling.

During this process, there was really no contact between the two parties.

Sterling tried to cut inside, but as he pushed the ball over, the toe of his boot hit the grass.

Before he fell, a look of pain appeared on his face.

"This big butt really looks like one fell."

"This"

"Kicked the turf and fell, penalty."

"Referee Lee Sin?"

Someone knows the comment section.

The fans complained.

finally.

Aguero scored the penalty.

With this penalty kick, Manchester City equalized the score.

Two to two.

This is also the score at the end of the game.

It stands to reason.

Monaco should be very satisfied with this score. They did not lose away from home and even scored two away goals.

But the moment the game whistle ended.

The sunlight rushed directly towards the referee.

Other Monaco players and coaches did the same thing as him.

They insisted that the referee give an explanation.

After all, the victory was snatched away by a penalty kick awarded after he fell on the turf.

It makes me feel depressed just thinking about it.

"I'll put that in my match report but from my perspective I did see Raheem Sterling fall down.

"That's your perspective, so you didn't see it clearly at all, right?"

Yalding said very unhappy.

The referee ignored him, put away the whistle and turned to walk towards the passage.

He heard Jardim cursing behind him, but the referee himself knew that he had called a very funny penalty, and cursing was just a way to vent his emotions.
"What do you think of the game? I don't have any opinion, we should have won!"

In the mixed interview area, Yang Guang was still somewhat indignant facing the reporters.

"What do you think of that penalty?"

A reporter said.

"Maybe the rules have changed now. If they say it's a penalty, it's a penalty." Yangguang pouted and said, "We will go back to our home court and teach them a lesson!"

"You have scored 12 Champions League goals now. Behind you are Cristiano Ronaldo with 8 goals and Messi with 7 goals. Do you have the confidence to win the Champions League Golden Boot this season?"

"I am now the top scorer. You shouldn't ask me this question. If I don't have confidence even though I am ranked first, then I might as well retire soon."

"But your competitors are Ronaldo and Messi"

"My only competitor is myself," Yangguang said. "No one can score more goals than me."

Put down this sentence.

Yangguang turned and walked towards the player tunnel.

The reporters originally had some questions to ask.

In the end, they were all stunned by Yangguang's words.

Wait until Yangguang’s figure disappears in the player tunnel.

The reporters finally reacted.

"This kid is too arrogant."

"Don't you care about Messi and Ronaldo?"

"Hehe, it's just a rookie benefit."

"It's not like there aren't guys who occasionally get close to Messi and Ronaldo in terms of statistics for one or two seasons, but in the end..."

"Monaco is so unlucky. Maybe they were upset by this penalty and might lose to Manchester City at home."

Reporters were buzzing.

The Chinese reporters looked at each other, and many of them showed worry on their faces.

After the game, media from all over the world were discussing the penalty.

On the way back to Monaco.

Jardim told his players not to get hung up on the misjudgment.

"This is football, guys," Jardim said. "We can't change the referee's decision, but fortunately, we are still in the upper hand."

"Go back to our home turf and kill them!"

Sunshine suddenly shouted.

Almost choked Yalding
Then, the players clenched their fists and gritted their teeth: "Let's go back to our home court and kill them!"

Ok
Jardim sat down.

He had prepared a lot of words, but now it seemed that he didn't want to say them.

Manchester City will meet a pack of wolves at the Stade Louis II.

The English and French media are covering the match itself.

Including a review of the game, views on the penalty kick, a look ahead to the second round, etc.

The media in France believes that Monaco still has a great advantage as they scored two away goals.

The media in England believe that Manchester City, playing away from home, is not without chance.

Winning away against Monaco is not impossible.
And what Yang Guang said in the interview after the game.

Instead, it caused an uproar in Spain.

".Your competitors are Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi"

"My only opponent is myself. No one can score more goals than me!"

This clip of the conversation has been repeatedly broadcast on television stations of all sizes in Madrid and Catalonia.

Real Madrid Sports City.

As soon as Ronaldo entered the stadium, he could hear Real Madrid players accusing him of Sunshine's arrogance.

"Cristiano, that kid is so arrogant."

"You just took a nap. I don't believe that kid can win the Golden Boot this season!"

"Maybe they won't even make it to the quarterfinals!"

Real Madrid players shouted.

C Ronaldo has also seen that interview.

Of course he cares a lot about whether he can win the Golden Boot.

The desire to win is one of the driving forces that drives him to score goals continuously.

"The season isn't over yet."

He said calmly.

As the most famous basketball star in the world, there is no need for him to go against a "little guy" like Yang Guang.

Isn't this lowering your own status?

When facing the media.

He was very calm: "The season isn't over yet, let's wait and see."

Although neither Ronaldo nor Messi responded directly to the sun.

But it is rare for the media in Madrid and Catalonia to present a united front.

They all focused their attention on reporting Yang Guang's words in the post-match press interview.

The media in Madrid said: A player like Sunshine only scored so many goals because European teams did not know him well.

The Catalan media even mocked that Yangguang was just a center forward who relied on his body to make a living, and was not in the same league as a football genius like Messi. No matter how many goals he scored, he could not compare with Messi.

".Messi is the most unique, he stands above the gods"

[Daily Sports] wrote this in its report.

Messi was not asked about this topic by the media.

"I'm only focused on myself and my team," Messi said. "I don't know the sun."

Naturally, the media reports in Spain could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the French media.

Although Monaco is an independent country, AS Monaco Football Club is a club in Ligue 1, and Ligue 1 is more or less the face of French football.

So they quickly started to help Sunshine fight back.

"..So far this season, Sunshine has scored 33 league goals and 12 Champions League goals; Messi has scored 27 goals in La Liga and 7 goals in the Champions League; Ronaldo has scored 19 goals in La Liga and 8 goals in the Champions League."

". Judging from the number of goals scored by the three players, Sunshine is indeed gaining the upper hand!"

[L'Equipe] wrote in the report.

"Can goals scored in the French Ligue 1 be compared with those in La Liga?" - [Mundo Deportivo]

"So the Champions League played by Sunshine and the Champions League played by Messi and Ronaldo are different competitions?" - [L'Equipe]

The French and Spanish media are engaged in a war of words.

Fans from both sides were also involved.

Engage in a war of words.

And all this was reported by the Chinese media.

The title is: Spanish and French media war: Who is stronger among Sunshine, Ronaldo and Messi?

Let’s not talk about what the conclusion is.

This title makes Chinese fans very happy.

Can be compared with Melo.

This already shows the strength of the sun.

Monaco and their players did not join the debate.

Because the schedule is still very tight.

The team will play three games in the next nine days.

However, the opponents did not cause any trouble to Monaco.

In the 27th round of the league, Monaco beat Guingamp away, and then defeated Marseille in the French Cup quarter-finals to advance to the French Cup quarter-finals, and then defeated Nantes at home in the 28th round of the league.

After this intensive schedule.

The team can breathe a sigh of relief.

Because the next game will be in a week.

And just after the 28th round of the league ended.

The first four matches of the Champions League quarter-finals kicked off in midweek.

Sunshine didn't go to watch other teams' games.

He only cares about his own game.

Just like what I told the media.

He also didn't pay attention to how many goals Messi and Ronaldo scored.

He is now top of the scorer list.

They are the ones we should care about, and what Sunshine needs to do is to constantly surpass himself!
So he came to the training ground that day.

I heard my teammates talking about the match between Barcelona and Paris.

"What? You don't know yet?"

Bakayoko came over.

“The whole of France is in turmoil”

"We're not France here."

"What you said makes sense!" Bakayoko slapped his thigh, "Anyway, something big happened! Paris Saint-Germain is eliminated!"

"What?" Yangguang was shocked. "Knocked out of the Champions League? Didn't they beat Barcelona 4-0?"

"Yes, Paris was overturned. Hahaha! It's so funny, they actually lost 1-7 away from home!" Mbappe laughed with glee.

Anyway, he is not the director of Paris yet, so it has nothing to do with him whether Paris loses.

"How can you lose this?" Yangguang shook his head in amazement.

"Messi hat trick," Bakayoko said. "He has already scored 10 goals in the Champions League."

Yangguang shrugged: "He still has one more game to play, the Golden Boot is definitely mine!"

"That's right! No one can take away Yang's Golden Boot!"

"C Ronaldo can't do it, and neither can Messi!"

Of course, Monaco players support Sunshine.

In the 29th round of the league, Monaco defeated Bordeaux at home with a rotated lineup.

Then they will face the second round of the Champions League round of 16.

Manchester City arrived in Monaco three days in advance - to be exact, they arrived in Marseille. They will train in Marseille and then go to Monaco on the match day.

at the pre-match press conference.

Jardim saw some journalists from Spain.

They asked him the question of "comparison between Sunshine, Ronaldo and Messi".

Yalding thought for a while and said: "They are players of the same level. If we simply compare the ability to score goals, Yang is the stronger player!"

And then there was Manchester City’s press conference.

Guardiola was inevitably asked about this topic.

Guardiola's answer was much more direct: "Sunshine is a great center forward, a very good scorer. But he can't compare with Messi."

"Messi is the most unique. He is the best in history. Sunshine may shine in this era, but he is not in the same league as Messi."

These words made the Catalan media extremely happy.

Let's talk about praising Messi.

Then it has to be the first plum blossom that blows.

So the next day.

The headline of Catalan mouthpiece [Daily Sports]: He is not on the same level as Messi!
