However, now that the honor of the best forward has been seized by a young, inexperienced Tang Long in his early twenties, for C Luo, it's like a heavy blow pounding on his heart.
He questioned himself countless tis, struggling to understand and unable to accept such a result.
In the depths of his heart, he believed that he was the top striker in the world, and the title of best in the world, symbolizing supre personal honor in football, should undoubtedly be firmly tied to his na, belonging to him alone!
Yet, just when C Luo was in great form and ready to continue his dominance, sothing unexpected happened on the sidelines.
Zidane, the legendary coach of Real Madrid, made a bold decision—to substitute C Luo with Isco.
The mont the fourth official raised the substitution board, C Luo's face instantly showed extre confusion and anger.
He turned his head, stared directly at Zidane, and shouted loudly, "It's only 70 minutes, why are you taking off?"
Despite his reluctance, C Luo is a professional player, and he managed to suppress his anger and slowly walked off the field.
As he passed by Isco, he slapped hands with him and said softly, "Good luck."
However, when Zidane reached out to try to communicate with C Luo, C Luo did not even glance at him, walking proudly past, leaving Zidane awkwardly standing there.
This scene was witnessed by substitutes Kovacic, Odegaard, Carvajal, and others, leaving them stunned!
A player who perford a hat trick was angry and refused to shake hands with the coach after being substituted, and that coach was the legendary Real Madrid star Zidane, which was simply unimaginable.
Several players couldn't help but worry secretly: "Isn't C Luo being too bold?"
Zidane, with a grim face, gave a wry smile and said helplessly to the assistant beside him, "I feel like he's obsessed."
In fact, Zidane did understand C Luo's eagerness for the European Golden Boot and was well aware that Tang Long, C Luo's biggest competitor, was still ahead in goal count at the mont.
But as the team's head coach, he has to consider the bigger picture.
A dozen days later, Real Madrid will face Borussia in the Champions League quarter-finals.
C Luo, who is over thirty, needs to conserve his energy appropriately for the more important Champions League matches.
"I clearly agreed with him at the beginning of this season to reserve so energy for the league and focus on the Champions League. Why is he like this now? It seems he can't overco the hurdle in his heart." Zidane sighed softly.
...
anwhile, on the other side of the English Channel, Manchester City's forward Tang Long was equally eager for the European Golden Boot.
In an exclusive interview at Tang Long's ho, senior journalist Dilata looked at Tang Long sharply and asked, "Are you confident in winning the European Golden Boot this season?"
This question actually elevated Tang Long to a rather high status, implying a unilateral announcent that Tang Long had already secured the Premier League Golden Boot ahead of ti.
Tang Long's answer was short and powerful: "Why not? I enjoy competing with him."
In the days that followed, Tang Long and C Luo began a fierce goalscoring battle from afar on the La Liga and Premier League pitches.
On April 2nd, in the 30th round of the Premier League, Manchester City challenged Middlesbrough away.
Right from the start, Manchester City displayed strong attacking power.
In the 11th minute of the first half, Agüero was tripped in the penalty area by an opponent, and the referee decisively pointed to the penalty spot.
Tang Long hadn't had ti to react, and Agüero, with a smile on his face, put the ball into his arms with both hands, saying, "Tang, give it a hard shot!"
As a forward, Agüero certainly has a desire to score goals.
Last season, he was crowned Premier League top scorer with 36 Premier League goals, and he also had aspirations to win the European Golden Boot next season.
However, this season, with Tang Long's rise, his position as the core of the attack has gradually been replaced by Tang Long, let alone the European Golden Boot, even the Premier League Golden Boot is already out of his reach.
But Agüero, after all, is an old player of Manchester City, he knows that if he can't get the European Golden Boot, then he will assist Tang Long to get it, as long as Tang Long can keep scoring, he can lead the team to achieve better results in the Champions League.
Agüero knows very well that he has never won the Champions League in his career so far, and he is eager to fulfill this dream in this season.
And this, basically relies on Tang Long's performance!
With the whistle of the referee, Tang Long started to run, kicked, and a beautiful penalty kick flew in an arc to the center of the goal, the opposing goalkeeper misjudged and could only watch helplessly as the ball went into the net.
In the second half, Tang Long perford a brilliant long-range shot towards the gate!
From about 30 ters from the goal, Tang Long received a pass from a teammate, looked up at the goal, and suddenly kicked, the ball spinning quickly in the air, with an unpredictable trajectory, the opposing goalkeeper tried his best to save, but still couldn't stop the ball from drilling into the upper left corner of the goal.
39 goals!
In this match, Tang Long scored twice again, helping Manchester City to victory, and his league goal count reached 39!
After the match, the English football scene erupted because of him!
First, Tang Long broke the Premier League single-season goal record again.
Having surpassed Agüero's 36-goal record from last season, every goal Tang Long scores pushes the record further!
But for now, it seems that in the foreseeable future, at least in the Premier League, there is no one else to chase this record, except for Tang Long himself.
Second, with just one more goal, Tang Long will hit 40 goals in the Premier League, an astounding figure, especially when last season's European Golden Boot winner Suarez scored only 40 goals.
The headlines of various dia outlets were occupied by Tang Long, with titles like "Two Double-Scoring Gas, European Golden Boot Beckons Tang Long!" seen everywhere.
However, the celebration lasted only for an hour.
Later, in the La Liga matches, C Luo exploded again!
In the second half, like a god of war, he scored three goals in a short ti, performing a hat trick again!
Every goal followed by the exaggerated "Siu" move, jumping high, spinning in the air, and then shouting loudly.
This move not only showcased his power to Tang Long but also defended his faith as the world's best.
La Liga dia likewise went into frenzy.
Real Madrid's dia mouthpiece "Marca" eagerly published an article as soon as the match ended, with a striking headline: "Two Gas with Double-Scoring? No, Look at Two Gas with Hat Tricks!"
In the article, "Marca" unreservedly compared this season's hottest forwards in European football, Tang Long and C Luo.
The conclusion was clear: "In the case of an unfavorable start in goal-scoring this season, C Luo chased back later on, soaring all the way, and after performing the hat trick in two consecutive gas, his goal tally reached 39!"
"Standing shoulder to shoulder with him is Manchester City's young forward Tang, who likewise scored 39 goals on the Premier League pitch. Both have 78 points in the race for the European Golden Boot now."
"However, C Luo has clearly more montum."
"From Tang's 4 goals in the last two gas, while C Luo scored 6 goals in two gas, it's obvious."
"The history lessons tell us to never underestimate and doubt C Luo's ability and determination! He is Cristiano, he is the one and only world's best!"
"But in the end, who wins the European Golden Boot can only be known at the end of the season."
"This fierce remote goal battle is raging on."
"Tang and C Luo, these two top football forwards, every goal and every competition they make stirs countless fans' hearts, at least for fans, it's a feast for the eyes."
"Who will finally hold the European Golden Boot this season?"
"Is it the young and ambitious Tang, or the experienced and domineering C Luo?"
