Chapter 253: A brilliant debut with a decisive goal, a volley shot in mid-air, completely outshining Gualin's two world-class strikes!



"Agüero helps Manchester City equalize!"

"A relaxed and artistic chip shot, clean and decisive!"

"The Argentine forward scores his first goal of the new season, he's off the mark!"

"The assister, Tang Long!"

"Tang Long also delivers his first assist since joining the team!"

"He's also off the mark!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this is even Tang Long's first touch after coming on as a substitute!"

"Let's watch the replay again."

"Haha, a flawless Ground Strike!"

"Tang Long's timing is perfect, precise down to the millimeter!"

After a passionate commentary by Zhan Jun.

Partner Zhang Lu only says one sentence.

"What defines a master? This is top-tier master class!"

In the live studio.

-[First touch is an assist? This efficiency, loud and clear, who's next?]

-[Add a few qualifiers, debut match, newcomer's first show, first touch is an assist, this record, unprecedented and unparalleled!]

-[It's all in Tang Long's pass, but Agüero's positioning was equally brilliant, without his smart offside run, the goal wouldn't have happened!]

-[I'm a bit confused! Tang Long is still Tang Long, the forward is still Argentine, just that Icardi has become Agüero.]

-[I have a feeling, this season, Tang Long won't miss Icardi, but Icardi will surely miss Tang Long a lot!]

-[Come on, come on, get another one, take down Tottenham, bring home three points from White Hart Lane!]

Since this was merely an equalizing goal, and Agüero rushed back with the ball from the Tottenham goal, Manchester City players didn't celebrate much but quickly returned to position to save time.

Pellegrini was overjoyed, seizing the opportunity, quickly calling the central defender Ranocchia to the sidelines to brief the tactical details while substituting Kolarov with a French full-back.

"Listen, Italian boy, we have 25 minutes left, I want you to keep the ball at your feet as much as possible, don't easily let the opponent seize ball possession."

Agüero's goal was not surprising, he was already the team's top scorer and last season's Premier League Golden Boot.

But Tang Long's assist caught the attention of Blue Moon's top stars.

Not to mention the precision in ball control.

Just the timing of the pass involved a lot of insight.

Last season's assist king, Spanish midfielder David Silva was puzzled.

He thought: "Tang's ball doesn't allow much margin; he clearly anticipated Agüero's attempt to get past the backline. If the ball is a little stronger, the goalkeeper could have intercepted, it's curious, Tang has only been with the team for a week, how does he know Agüero's habits? It's illogical!"

He also thought: "When he first came on, standing still like a fool looking around, I thought he didn't know where to run. Now, clearly, he was observing details, this kid is interesting!"

Not only were teammates surprised by Tang Long's first-touch assist, Tottenham players were equally amazed.

Substituted Danish midfielder Eriksson was the first to predict Tang Long would execute the Ground Strike.

He gauged Tang Long's body language during the leg swing and the distance between Agüero and Lori, concluding Tang Long's best option was the Ground Strike direct pass!

Just as Premier League's top passing master, Eriksson hadn't anticipated such high-quality Ground Strike from Tang Long, even lending enough curve to barely pass over his teammate's defender Vertonghen's toes.

"This isn't passing, it's practically surgery," Eriksson thought with astonishment.

Despite being teammates with Tang Long for a season, Tottenham midfielder Gualin was still immensely shocked by Tang Long's first-touch assist.

Knowing Tang Long's strength, he also knew that so-called Premier League adaptation period wouldn't hinder a player of Tang Long's caliber.

Yet, this adaptation period was incredibly short, almost like running from off the field to the field, was it less than 10 seconds?

"Don't panic, stay calm, get excited, this is our home ground, no fear!"

New recruit Gualin showed a leader's demeanor, boosting his teammates' morale.

The subsequent match entered a standoff phase.

Tottenham slightly had the edge in the confrontation with Gualin's advanced midfield placement and Ali's extensive disruption.

Manchester City showcased their adept ball possession style, controlling the ball most of the time.

Tang Long frequently took the ball at the attacking midfield, organizing the attack.

Though his ball-holding opportunities today weren't as extensive as at Inter, given Manchester City's many ball-handling experts, David Silva currently on the field does this, consumes ball possession, and equally has the skill to assist Agüero.

However, every time the ball arrives at Tang Long's feet, there's a distinct feeling of entering a new phase.

Be it advancing the ball or a measured return.

Or distributing to the flanks, or simply attempting continued engagement with Agüero.

The ball consistently rotated to the most logical and favorable position for the next phase of development.

In other words, no undue passing delays.

The situation leans slightly toward Manchester City.

Yet, as Tang Long played, he noticed similarities to training-field situations.

Manchester City's players are all Premier League top-tier, spending most of their time passing and positioning with proper football thinking.
