Chapter 927 Really Unexpected...
Chapter 927 Really Unexpected...
Just after Rong Guang scored a goal, in an inconspicuous corner of the stands, there was a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes, wearing a peaked cap, and his appearance was also very ordinary. He belonged to the kind of object that was absolutely unrecognizable in the crowd.
On his lap was an open notebook, and a pen.
A lot of things were densely written on it.
But at this time, he didn't bury his head in it and write quickly, but looked up at the court.
Rong Guang was rushing to find Godin on the field.
He looked at Rong Guang's galloping figure with complicated eyes.
He is Bayern Munich's scout Norbert Eide.
Before the UEFA Champions League game against Manchester City, the Bayern Munich coaching staff sent Ed to England to observe Manchester City's game closely and prepare a detailed game report for coach Van Gaal for his analysis.
Ed is a very conscientious scout. He wrote down a lot of things in his notebook, all aspects of Manchester City.
In particular, he also noticed the two starters Manchester City replaced this season.
Micah Richards and Diego Godin.
Godin's performance was his key record. He recorded every performance of Godin in this game, and attached simple comments.
In his opinion, Godin, the central defender who temporarily replaced Kompany in the starting lineup, performed very surprisingly and unexpectedly well.
Against Manchester City, if Godin continues to start, Van Gaal needs to keep an eye on him.
He recorded the performance of many people in Manchester City, but there is not a single word on the record about glory.
Even when Rongguang had just scored a goal, he was not willing to spend any pen and ink on Rongguang's performance.
After Rongguang started attacking with the ball, he put down the pen in his hand, and then looked at Rongguang's attack with an attitude of appreciation.
Rongguang's performance reminded him of the scene when he first traveled across the ocean and went to Brazil to watch the Rongguang game.
As if it was still yesterday...
It was his series of scouting reports in Brazil that finally strengthened Bayern Munich's determination to spend $700 million to buy Rongguang.
He also had a preliminary understanding of Rong Guang.
Later, Rongguang successfully transferred to Bayern Munich, but because he didn't like the coach, he had to be loaned out, so he was sent by the Bayern Munich club to track Rongguang from time to time and organize Rongguang's game reports. From these reports, we can see the progress of Rongguang.
It can be said that Ed watched Rong Guang change from a fledgling youth to an international football superstar little by little...
So no one can match Ed's affection for Rongguang.
Rongguang may not know him at all, nor would he know that he had silently observed him when he was in Brazil and Werder Bremen, but Ed may be the person who knows Rongguang best. He knows his performance in every game, and knows every strength and weakness of him.
But he never told Rongguang directly, he just silently recorded everything about Rongguang.
Later, Rongguang transferred to Bayern Munich, and Ed and Rongguang never met again.
No matter how good Rongguang performed in Manchester City, it didn't matter to him. He accepted the assignment of the club and flew around Germany, Europe and even the world to observe Bayern Munich's next opponent or a good seed that might be outstanding.
He is very busy, so busy that he has no time to watch a glorious game, even if it is a broadcast of the game...
until this time.
Almost on the second day after the draw results were announced, he was called to the office by Bayern Munich coach Van Gaal. Van Gaal gave him a task, asking him to go to the scene to watch the match between Manchester City and Arsenal and observe the performance of the Manchester City team.
"Don't worry about Rong, your task is other Manchester City players except Rong." Van Gaal said.
This surprised Ed, he thought Van Gaal wanted him to observe Rong Guang, after all Rong Guang is the most threatening player in Manchester City.
But Van Gaal has his own considerations: "We know enough about Rong, but we don't know enough about Manchester City..."
Ed nodded, knowing what he should do.
That's good, I can stop scribbling in my notebook about Rong's part... Ed, who accepted the task, thought so.
Now, he is sitting in the crowded Manchester City Stadium, quietly admiring every wonderful performance of Rongguang.
He finally didn't have to study Rongguang's strengths and weaknesses.
But the occupational disease still made him unconsciously notice those details.
After the serious injury, Rong Guang still runs like the wind, and every step is very powerful, which shows that not only his muscle strength has not been damaged by the eight-month injury, it may even be stronger than before the injury...
Also, he's very skilled on the ball and has a great rhythm with the ball, as always.
His mentality and technique have not been affected by injuries either...
If Bayern Munich faced such a glory in the game, I'm afraid it will still be difficult to deal with... oops.
Ed remembered that he didn't need to observe Rongguang. How to deal with Rongguang was also a problem that Van Gaal needed to consider. Why did he accidentally fall in love again?
Thinking of this, he smiled and shook his head.

After losing the ball, Arsenal played a little flustered.
They were completely suppressed by Manchester City on the scene.
No. At 607 minutes, Arsenal's goal was declared lost again.
This time the goal was not glory. It was Robinho who scored the goal. After Robinho cut in from the wing, he succeeded in a long-range shot.
"3:0! This game has ended early!" John Mortenson announced. "Judging from the scene, Manchester City has completely suppressed Arsenal. It is quite normal for them to have the current score. In the past, perhaps some people's impression of Manchester City stayed a season or two ago, thinking that Manchester City's goal should be relegation. But now you have to admit that Manchester City has made great progress, especially this year. If Manchester City's victory last season was based on luck and personal performance, then this season, Manchester City's overall strength has improved significantly!"
"That's right. Manchester City's signings this summer have been very successful. Basically all the players that Benitez wanted were finally bought, and the signing targets that Benitez chose are also very targeted. Matuidi, Sneijder, Gareth Barry and Godin. These players are currently performing very well. I believe that if Benitez is given more time, this team will definitely be able to continue to make progress. Their future can be expected!" Alan Hansen also said.
"This reminds me of what Rong said when he joined Manchester City. At the beginning, he said that he wanted to make Manchester City a giant. At that time, many people laughed at him, ridiculed him, and even attacked him. But now we must seriously think about this possibility. With Rong, Manchester City after Sneijder, and the training of Benitez, a Spanish tactician, maybe we can really advance in the direction of the giants!"
The TV broadcast gave Wenger a close-up shot. Wenger was standing on the sidelines, seemingly in a daze, looking at the stadium with slightly absent-minded eyes.
He probably would never have imagined that Godin, who was supposed to be Manchester City's weakness in this game, performed so steadily.Arsenal originally launched a strong attack against him, but there was no gain and had to make temporary adjustments, but at that time they were already two goals behind, and Arsenal had already lost in terms of morale.
What made him even more unexpected was that the originally stable top four structure of the Premier League now has such a spoiler. In the past, the four teams of Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea monopolized the qualifications for the Champions League. Basically, no other teams matter.As a result, last season, Manchester City suddenly emerged and snatched Arsenal's Champions League place.
Thinking of this question gave Wenger a headache.
If he can't enter the Champions League for two consecutive seasons...it will be a devastating blow to Arsenal, and he himself may have to leave Arsenal...he doesn't want such a day to come.
Something has to be done.
The game is not over, but Wenger has already begun to consider the survival of Arsenal this season.
If you are still satisfied with being only fourth in the league, that is absolutely impossible.
Arsenal must perform better this season, at least to get third in the league, right?
※※※
Arsenal eventually scored a goal in the game, but this goal has no impact on the overall result at all.
The final score of the game was 4:1. Manchester City, who played at home, defeated Arsenal, the traditional Premier League team, with a surprising score.
Many people must have thought that Manchester City may win at home. This can also be seen from the odds offered by the bookmaker. Arsenal's advantage is not obvious.
But I am afraid that few people can think that Manchester City can beat Arsenal with such a large score and such a relaxed attitude...
This is something that surprised many people.
After the game, Rong Guang was asked by reporters in the mixed zone why he ran all the way to Godin to celebrate the goal after scoring.
Rong Guang said: "I want to thank him. If he hadn't cut off Walcott's ball, we wouldn't have been able to form a quick counterattack, and I wouldn't have scored so easily. So I'm going to hug him."
Just as he was talking, Godin passed behind Rong Guang.
Rong Guang grabbed him, pulled him to his side, and faced the media reporters with him.
"He's really great!" Rong Guang pointed to Godin and said to the reporters.
As soon as the words fell, the flash of the camera on the scene dazzled Godin's eyes, and the shutter sounded together.
Godin didn't expect to face such a battle, and he was still a little uncomfortable.
If Rong Guang hadn't been pulling him, he might have escaped.
He really didn't expect Rongguang to give such a high-profile opportunity...
After the reporters saw Godin, they also ran to Godin with questions. They really wanted to ask too much about Godin.
So Rong Guang patted him on the shoulder as encouragement and left, turning around and giving him a thumbs up before leaving.
Godin smiled when he saw this scene.
What a... good captain!
