Guardiola was originally facing away from the field, discussing the lineup for the next match against Manchester United with assistant coach Chiwo.
However, the sudden roar from the Etihad Stadium sent shivers up their spines;
The two looked at each other in astonishment——
What happened?
Turning their heads again, they saw Tang Long surrounded by teammates, and only then did Guardiola slap his forehead and realize, oh, it was a goal.
He burst into laughter and said to Chiwo, "I just wanted him to go out there and warm up, didn't expect him to score."
Chiwo nodded slightly but remained silent, smiling instead.
Having grown alongside Tang Long for over two years, Chiwo knew that in Tang Long's football dictionary, there was no such thing as "just warming up".
Either he doesn't play at all, or if he does, he plays seriously!
