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!
