Chapter 670: Chapter 465: Tennis superstar Djokovic shocked! Table tennis champion Ma Long exclaims: This is a chop!

Agüero felt like he scored this goal in a daze.

When Tang Long executed the White Whale Counterattack, the ball, after hitting the ground, defied expectations by suddenly bouncing back toward him—

Agüero’s head was still throbbing from the earlier knock by center-back Domingos’s elbow.

But Agüero is Agüero, his reaction was faster than Domingos;

It was purely his instinctive striker’s reflex that allowed him to move before his opponent, running toward the ball in the penalty area!

Then, bypassing the goalkeeper and pushing the ball into an open net was just the muscle memory practiced thousands of times in training.

However, once the ball went in, Agüero suddenly realized: "Huh, this pass from Tang, something’s not quite right?"

He didn’t celebrate but stared dazedly at Tang Long in the distance, puzzled in his mind: "How did he pass that ball, the trajectory was so bizarre."

It wasn’t just Agüero.

The other Manchester City teammates on the field were even more confused!

Even though it was Agüero who scored and tied the game for the team, everyone couldn’t help but run toward Tang Long.

...

"White Whale Counterattack, haha, it’s the White Whale Counterattack!"

Off the field, Chiwo was so excited he lost himself, repeating the phrase like a recorder.

Chiwo had loved reading manga since childhood and he accurately described the essence of Tang Long’s pass — bouncing back in the opposite direction after hitting the ground.

However, those around him looked at him in confusion, unable to understand what Chiwo was shouting, let alone the term from the manga "Prince of Tennis."

At this time, the giant screens on both sides of the Etihad Stadium began to replay.

The previously noisy fans fell silent, tens of thousands of eyes were fixed on the big screen.

The colorful lights of the LED display danced under the grey and gloomy English sky.

Borussia Monchengladbach’s coach Schubert’s initially calm face gradually showed an expression of disbelief, his eyes bulging as if they might pop out!

Watching the ball on the big screen, spinning fiercely in the air, landing suddenly, and rebounding strangely, his hand unconsciously gripped the corner of his coat tightly.

"Ah, this, how is this possible?" he muttered, his voice full of shock and doubt.

Having been in the football scene for so many years, he thought he’d seen it all, but this scene was completely beyond his understanding.

He secretly marveled in his heart, wondering who on earth this Chinese player was, able to kick such an unconventional ball, rendering his meticulously arranged defensive tactics as good as scrap paper!

...

Shock was also visible on Manchester City’s head coach Guardiola’s face.

Guardiola stood frozen, his hands slowly lowering from clutching his head, yet he remained stiff.

His eyes were full of astonishment and admiration, his mouth half-open, unable to close for a long time.

"My god, is this really a scene that can occur in football?"

He even felt more shocked than when he witnessed Lewandowski’s 5 goals in 9 minutes two years ago as Bayern’s coach!

As a master of the era, his understanding of football was deeply ingrained, yet this kick made him feel as if he had opened a new door to the world of football!

After watching the replay from three different angles, especially the last one which focused on the moment of the pass with a close-up of Tang Long’s calf—

Guardiola’s previously furrowed brows completely relaxed, replaced by a joyful discovery of new football artistry.

He couldn’t help but marvel in his heart: "The use of this passing technique is simply incredible! Tang has brought me so many surprises, this player’s creativity is simply endless!"

...

Behind Guardiola, Manchester City’s substitute bench had long since erupted!

The substitute players jumped from their seats and rushed to the field sidelines.

"This ball is too outrageous!"

"Is this still football?"

"Tang’s pass seemed to be controlled by a remote, actually bouncing back!"

Their exclamations echoed one after another.

Some players excitedly waved the towels in their hands, while others vigorously slapped the seats around them.

England’s young player Sterling was so excited his face was flushed, he forcefully pulled on a teammate’s jersey beside him, shouting loudly:

"Did you see that? That’s Tang! He’s a football genius!"

Meanwhile, national teammate Delph was frozen in place, his eyes filled with admiration and reverence, muttering to himself: "When will I have such creativity..."

...

Tennis superstar Djokovic was sitting at home, leisurely watching the live broadcast of this football match.

In September 2016, Djokovic was leading the ATP ranking with 14,040 points, world number one!

The Serbian tennis superstar was also a football fan.

Although his favorite team was AC Milan in Serie A, due to his compatriot Kolarov playing for Manchester City, he would also watch Manchester City’s games.

When he saw Tang Long make that kick, his hand trembled, nearly dropping the hot coffee cup he was holding!

His eyes widened instantly, and his previously elegant posture became somewhat stiff.

"This... isn’t this the White Whale Counterattack!"

He couldn’t help but exclaim, his face filled with shock and excitement.

As a legendary figure in the tennis world, Djokovic was also aware of the term from tennis manga and would occasionally challenge it himself during training.

The so-called White Whale Counterattack involves a tennis player using a striking technique to backhandedly hit an abruptly rising hyper-spin lofty shot, aided by a slight headwind, causing the ball to leap skyward; the ball then descends due to gravity, landing in the opponent’s backcourt area;
