Chapter 858 - 595: Six Goals in One Match Defy Fate! Tang Long Steps Over C Luo to Claim the European Golden Boot Alone! (Part 3)

Suarez: "That's right, Neymar is correct. Either Ryo takes it, or someone else, but we can't let C Luo have it."

Rakitic: "Compared to the European Golden Boot, I care more about the Champions League final. I really hope Manchester City can step up and beat Real Madrid, otherwise who knows how arrogant that C Luo will get!"

After Messi's reminder, many Barça players who were at home, resting with the season ending and preparing for vacation, turned on their TVs and focused on the Premier League match between Manchester City and Sunderland.

Barça's players, who once fought against Manchester City as Champions League group opponents, actually all became Manchester City fans, supporting Tang.

Not a single Barça player wants to see C Luo flaunting his prowess!

The storm resumed at the 65th minute of the second half.

At the center of the pitch, Manchester City players like Gundogan, Diego, Ranocchia, and Navas executed over 20 consecutive passes, creating a flowing attack like pinball, constantly switching possession yet smoothly advancing towards Sunderland's penalty area.

By now, Sunderland's players showed signs of physical fatigue.

Having secured safety a round ahead, the players' minds were already off the pitch, unable to withstand Manchester City's relentless attack like a flood.

As Diego took the ball and glanced up, Tang Long was leisurely walking back on the offside line.

Diego hesitated not for a moment, sending the pass without waiting for Tang Long to return to the onside position!

At the instant Diego made the swing motion, Tang Long swiftly stepped back and dashed in front of the last defender.

As the ball came through, Tang Long suddenly made a lateral move, succeeding in breaking the offside line!

Connection succeeds!

"Diego! Diego sends a through ball!"

"Tang Long charges into the penalty area!"

"Hey, it seems a bit like offside?"

"Tang Long dribbles past the rushing goalkeeper, shoots into an empty goal!"

"Oh my gosh, 56 goals already, he equals C Luo's record! Congratulations on this historic moment!"

"But was this goal offside? The linesman didn't raise the flag, didn't raise the flag, it's not offside!"

Sunderland players have no mind to complain about offside to the linesman, and crucially, watching the replay on the stadium screen, the last defender realizes Tang Long successfully deceived him with his backward step.

Everyone in the stands rises in unison!

A harmonious sound echoes throughout the stadium.

All are cheering for the number 9 on the pitch, Tang Long, who has secured this season's European Golden Boot!

And even if he doesn't score another goal now, having scored five in a single match, he ties C Luo with 56 league goals.

The European Golden Boot doesn't consider penalty goals, so if it ends now, Tang Long and C Luo share this season's European Golden Boot, an occurrence not unheard of in European football.

"You did it, you did it!"

Gracie leaps off the medical kit, welcoming Tang Long with a hug as he rushes towards her.

The Manchester City players on the bench also smile and applaud Tang Long, watching the pair joyfully.

Realizing everyone is watching them, Gracie blushes and frees herself from Tang Long's embrace, retreating to the sidelines.

Although Tang Long has locked the European Golden Boot for this season, the match continues, so Tang Long doesn't celebrate excessively. After a simple high-five with Manchester City players, they disperse, awaiting Sunderland's kick-off.

"One more goal, just one more! The European Golden Boot shouldn't be shared with anyone, this honor must be yours alone!" Dilata on the stands clasps her hands, closes her eyes tightly, and begins praying for Tang Long.

...

Sitting on the sofa, C Luo couldn't sit still.

He planted his hands on his knees, squatted in front of the TV, stretching his head forward, his eyes just under 50 centimeters from the screen, seeing the pixels clearly.

"Can't let another goal in, can't let another, absolutely can't let another!"

At this moment, the broadcast camera focuses on Guardiola on the sidelines.

What is Guardiola doing?

He stands with arms crossed over his chest, chatting casually and laughing with Chiwo alongside him, unclear about their conversation.

This relaxed scene fuels C Luo's anger.

Back when Guardiola was at Barcelona, C Luo disliked the bald coach tremendously because Barça always defeated Real Madrid, with even 5-0 disasters occurring.

"Damn Spain, bald, why are you hesitating? Sub this kid off! Don't you want to play the FA Cup final? And the Champions League final?"

C Luo almost yells at the TV, so loudly that it shakes the screen slightly.

Yet, Tang Long continues to roam the pitch, showing no signs of fatigue.

Moreover, Guardiola waves his hand, substitutes Diego, who assisted three times, for Mkhitaryan.

This is Guardiola noticing Diego's fatigue and intentionally substituting Mkhitaryan to continue supporting Tang Long.
