Chapter 921 The Monster From The Stars
Chapter 921 The Monster From The Stars
Manchester City's away game against Portsmouth is the fourth round of the league. After this game, the league will be temporarily suspended for two weeks, because there will be two national team match days next, and national teams from all over the world will play games. In Europe, next year's World Cup qualifiers are not over yet, and they will fight for the right to qualify for the World Cup.
So in the next two weeks, the national team competition will be the focus of everyone's attention, which is related to who can qualify and who cannot qualify.
In the league before the two national team games, the attention was not so high.
But under such circumstances, Manchester City scored a big score away!
They beat Portsmouth 6-0 away!
Rong Guang scored twice in the game, and Berbatov simply completed a hat-trick. In addition, central defender Lucio scored his first official game goal for joining Manchester City with his head.
Both the commentator and the reporter noticed that during the game, Manchester City's players were in very good condition, full of fighting spirit, and relentless.
They didn't slow down because they led Portsmouth by two goals in the first half.
They scored four goals in the second half and completely killed the game.
Poor Portsmouth had no idea they would be treated like this at home.
What made Manchester City perform so well in this game?
When interviewed by reporters after the game, every Manchester City player said that such a result is normal and there is nothing to make a fuss about.
"Because we are strong."
They said so.
A team at the top of the league, beating the second-to-last team in the league by a big score, does not seem to be surprising...
No one knows that Manchester City players are expressing their dissatisfaction with the previous public opinion and their ambitions for the Champions League in this way.
You say we are not strong enough?
Then we will prove it to you!
If 6:0 in one game is not enough, there will be more in the future!
※※※
When the national team played, Manchester City's Carrington training base was obviously much deserted than usual. Many international players left Manchester and returned to their respective national teams.
In fact, this can also reflect that Manchester City's strength has really increased from another aspect.
How could Manchester City have so many international players in the past?
Today, Manchester City has Dutch international Sneijder, Brazilian international Robinho, Elano and Lucio, Bulgarian international Berbatov and Martin Petrov, Argentine international Zabaleta, England international Gareth Barry, Belgian international Kompany, Swiss international Deldiyok, Spanish international David Silva, Irish international Dunne, and Chinese international Sun Hai...
And the vast majority of these international players are the main players of their respective national teams.
After they left, half the team was almost empty.
The training base suddenly became much quieter.
Glory without the task of the national team is still as usual, came to the training base early, and then trained alone on the training ground.
Whether there are people or not, whether he has normal training or not, he is like this. It seems that there is nothing in the world that can stop him from training.
But today's situation is a bit different. When he was sweating profusely on the training ground, he suddenly found that there were more people on the sidelines that were usually empty.
He stopped his training, looked over, and was surprised to find that it was David Silva!
He was taken aback for a moment, because he knew that David Silva was a Spanish international, so he should be in the Spanish national team at this time...
But soon Rongguang remembered that David Silva was injured, and he just recovered from his injury, and he is undergoing recovery training in the team.
Of course I didn't go to the national team...
David Silva had been training alone before, and he didn't appear in front of everyone very often, so that Rong Guang almost forgot about it...
After seeing David Silva, Rong Guang simply stopped training and walked over.
"Good morning, David."
As the captain, he is very natural, but David Silva is a little unnatural after seeing the glory.
"Uh, good morning..." He paused, then said. "team leader."
David Silva, who appeared in front of Rongguang, was a little embarrassed.
Originally, he was curious and wanted to see whether Rongguang would still stick to his training when the team's training was not normal.
Unexpectedly, when he came to the sidelines of the training field, he saw Rong Guang training.
He originally wanted to sneak a few glances and leave, but he was completely frightened when he saw the content of Rongguang's training, and stood there blankly, forgetting not to be seen by Rongguang.
What did he see?
He saw that Rong Guang was kicking the football towards the goal one by one.
At first he thought it was just ordinary long-range shooting training, nothing interesting.
When he saw the football flying in the air during class, his eyes widened—the football in the air was almost motionless, and it just flew into the goal!
Isn't that the "leaf" free-kick he scored against Celtic in the Champions League qualifying match?
After Rongguang scored a goal, the European media at the time said that Rongguang scored an incredible "leaf ball".
Although Jose Alemani named such a free kick an "elevator kick", it is still considered a leaf kick throughout Europe.
The whole term "elevator ball" does not appear.
It stands to reason that it should wait until the 2012 European Cup before being named by Gazzetta dello Sport because of an elevator ball by Pirlo...
David Silva was still recovering from the game against the Celtics. He did not go to Scotland with the team, but watched live TV in his apartment.
When he saw this astonishing goal, his initial reaction was also shocked-how did Rong play such a ball?
Then he thought it was just luck.
The evaluation of the media after the game also confirmed his view from the side.
Many people think that Rongguang's goal has a great possibility.
Of course, the media said that this kind of football that made two consecutive changes in the air was luck, but David Silva understood that the falling leaves of Rongguang were all lucky.
He knew that Rongguang would kick a free kick, but he should have played a banana kick with his left foot.
This has been proved in the FA Cup final last season, he can't do anything other than the banana ball with his left foot, he can't even play the banana ball with his right foot, and all free kicks are kicked with his left foot.
There is only one exception, and that is the long-range free kick called vigorously blasting in...
But that kick was a long-range shot from a fixed point, it can't be regarded as a free kick at all...
So David Silva naturally thought that it was impossible for Rongguang to learn the deciduous ball in such a short period of time. This ball must have been conjured up by him trying to copy the ball in the FA Cup final last season.
But today, when David Silva was standing on the sidelines, he saw Rong Guang kicking the football again and again without spinning in the air!
The conclusion he had sworn to before was instantly overturned.
Could it be that the ball...wasn't it lucky to get in?
"Are you ... practicing long shots or ..." David Silva asked to clarify the question.
"Oh, practicing free kicks." Rong Guang said.
"But why didn't I see the human wall prop..."
"I don't need it anymore. I'm mainly training my power and the accuracy of my touch, so I don't need a wall," Rong Guang said.
"Practice the power and the accuracy of the ball?" David Silva connected what he saw just now with the ball in the game against the Celtics. This kind of ball has special power skills and requirements for the ball's contact position... It seems that Rongguang is really practicing the deciduous ball!
But... how is that possible?
How did you learn it in such a short time?
"I remember your old free-kick wasn't... a curveball?" David Silva asked.
Rong Guang smiled: "Ah, this is something I just learned."
really!
David Silva thought to himself, what a new learner!but……
"New one? You already learned it?" he asked in surprise.
Rong Guang scratched his head in embarrassment: "I can't talk about learning, it's just a superficial understanding... I've only practiced for three months... Two and a half months to be exact, I'm not proficient yet."
But David Silva's mouth was about to close.
After only two and a half months of training, can you be able to play a ball of this quality?
"You practice like this?" David Silva became more curious.
"Just practice like this, kick the ball towards the goal..."
"Just practice like this?"
"Of course, just keep repeating. Isn't practice all repetition?"
"Then how many times did you repeat it?"
"I don't know about that." Rong Guang shook his head. "I knew that in June, I repeated it [-] times in half a month..."
David Silva was startled and coughed.
Then he stared at Rong Guang with wide eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.
Kicked [-] times in half a month?
What is this concept?
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Seeing David Silva suddenly coughing violently, Rong Guang asked with concern.
Silva waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
But the way he looked at Rong Guang was different from before.
It is no longer looking at the eyes of a normal person, but as if seeing a monster...
At this time, he suddenly thought of what Iniesta once said to him: "...'alien monster'!"
"What's that?" he asked strangely.
"Rong!"
"Rong?"
"Yes, Rong's nickname, they all call him 'alien monster'! Because he is not only from an alien, he is a monster, a monster from an alien planet!"
At that time, he thought it was just the nonsense of Rong Guang's brainless fans.
But now, in his eyes, Rong Guang seemed to have really turned into an alien monster...
I actually wanted to compete with such an alien monster... How ridiculous that I hurt myself in the end!
