Just five minutes after the match against Hull City ended, while players were still resting in the locker room, an unusual announcement was posted on Manchester City's official club website.
[We fully support Tang! The honor of the players and the club is not to be defamed!]
It's considered rare for two reasons.
Firstly, generally speaking, the club's official website will first report the result of the game after the match concludes, rather than other news;
Secondly, the wording of this announcement is precise, with strong emotions, clearly prepared well in advance, just waiting to be published after this great victory!
"In recent days, various major media outlets in the United Kingdom have published reports defaming Tang and Manchester City Club, all of which are completely unfounded, and the club strongly condemns this!"
"Tang is an important player introduced by the club this summer, beloved by Manchester City fans, and has given everything for the club!"
