Chapter 928
Chapter 928
Since that night, the media have been discussing the focus battle between Manchester City and Arsenal, which is the most watched game in this round of the league.
I didn't expect such a result in the end.
Manchester City comfortably beat Arsenal at home.
What about evenly matched? !
"...With three days left before the match against Bayern Munich, the victory of this game is very important for Manchester City, which greatly boosted the confidence of the players. I think they can face Bayern Munich with a relatively relaxed mood..."
At the same time, the video of the Manchester City game was sent to Van Gaal immediately after the game.
This will help him analyze the state of Manchester City and come up with targeted strategies.
Although in Ed's game report, he did not write the word Rong Guang, but in the game video, Rong Guang is still the most eye-catching person in this game.
City's first goal was his long-range shot that bounced off the crossbar and hit Almunia's back, and then he counterattacked and scored the second goal.
It can be said that this second goal made Arsenal realize that it is difficult for them to beat Manchester City.
After the game lost suspense.
Rong Guang is still the soul of Manchester City. His performance in this game may not be too outstanding in the eyes of ordinary fans, but in the eyes of Van Gaal, he is simply brilliant.
He had hoped that scouts could bring him more performances from other Manchester City players.
But now after watching the video of the game, his mind is full of glory.
It can't go on like this...
Van Gaal turned off the TV and couldn't continue to watch it. Looking at the video of the game, it is easy to think that Manchester City has only one glory, and everyone else is nothing.
But this is clearly not true.
He picked up the game report given to him by Ed again, and wrote clearly at the beginning of the game report: "...Manchester City has changed a lot compared to the past, especially compared with last season. They have improved their overall strength. Apart from Rong, other Manchester City players also need special attention..."

After the game against Arsenal, Benitez also started preparing for the game against Bayern Munich.
In fact, he has already started preparing for the next Champions League game in the game against Arsenal.
When he scored the third goal for Manchester City, he began to make substitutions and adjustments.
He has replaced Sneijder, Robinho and Matuidi three people.
The replacements are all the main players. He wants to give these people more time to rest, and at the same time give more playing time to the substitute players.
But Rong Guang stayed on the court, he didn't need to be rotated, and he didn't need to be replaced in advance to rest.
After the Arsenal game, when Rong Guang reappeared at the Carrington training base, reporters surrounded him, but the questions had nothing to do with the Arsenal game, and everyone asked him about Bayern Munich.
"Everyone knows the story of your departure from Bayern Munich, so is this reunion with Bayern Munich considered a revenge?"
The reporters raised a very sensitive issue.
Rong Guang shook his head: "No, this is not revenge, this is just an ordinary Champions League group match."
"But in today's Bayern Munich, many people are your former teammates..."
"Yes, but it has nothing to do with this game. I am friends with them, but this does not affect our decision in this game."
"After the draw came out, people were generally not optimistic about Manchester City, but you just defeated Arsenal 4:1 in the league. Will this change everyone's impression of you?"
"I don't care what the outside world thinks of us. Anyway, we don't depend on outside evaluations for winning."
"Are you confident you can beat Bayern Munich at home?"
"of course."
"If you scored against Bayern Munich, would you celebrate?"
Rong Guang answered quickly before, almost as soon as the reporters asked questions, Rong Guang answered immediately.
But this question, he was stunned for a moment.
The reporters noticed Rong Guang's surprise.
Apparently he didn't think about it either...
After being stunned, Rong Guang replied, "I don't know."
He answered the question honestly, he didn't know, he really didn't know if he would celebrate.
Because now is not the time of the game after all, and the mood is also different from the game.What if I say no, but I get excited and celebrate when the time comes?
What if you say you will celebrate, but suddenly you don't want to celebrate during the game?
These are all uncertain.
The reporters saw Rong Guang's embarrassment, so they didn't continue to embarrass him, but ended the interview.
In any case, Rong Guang is an honest person, and there is nothing to be ashamed about.Neither can conspiracy theories.

At home in the evening, Rong Guang had just finished his training on the training ground. When he came home, the TV in the living room was on, but there was no one there.
It was time for Deborah to take the baby to bed.
The news footage of the Bayern Munich team arriving in Manchester was broadcast on TV.
On the TV screen, all Bayern Munich players filed out from the aisle of the airport. There was a burst of cheers from the fans and the sound of reporters pressing the shutter of the camera.
Rong Guang looked at these Bayern Munich players one by one, and then he found that the faces he knew seemed... not as much as he imagined.
Goalkeeper Rensing, defender Van Buyten, Demichelis, Ram, midfielder Altintop, Franck Ribery, Schweinsteiger.
These are the few people who are familiar with him. Many other people are relatively unfamiliar to Rongguang. When he was in Bayern Munich, these people either did not join or were still in the youth team. Rongguang is not familiar with it.
Many of his former teammates have left the team.
After he and Magath left, the team experienced two major cleanings, basically cleaning up the previous Bayern Munich team.
Lucas went to Atletico Madrid and is now the main center of Atletico Madrid, and at the same time continued to secure his position as the main center of the Brazilian national team.
Ismail went to Hannover 96, but due to injuries, he could only play as a substitute in Hannover 96.
Misimovic went to Wolfsburg, where he won the Bundesliga again with his mentor Magath.
Trohovski went to Hamburg, where he was the absolute main force.
Ballack is also a main player at Chelsea.
The former captain, the goalkeeper Kahn, has retired, along with Sagnol, Jeremys and Lizarazu.
Looking at this somewhat unfamiliar Bayern Munich, Rong Guang shook his head.
Just then, his cell phone rang.
It was Schweinsteiger calling.
"Hi, little pig." Rong Guang answered the phone and said.
"Hi, Rong. Are you still awake?"
"I just came back from practice," Rong Guang said.
"Ah, I forgot about this, I forgot that you are a training freak. What are you practicing?"
"I won't tell you, lest you take precautions in advance!" Rong Guang laughed. "We are opponents now!"
He was joking, but Schweinsteiger over there suddenly sighed: "Oh, yes...we are rivals now...if I can choose, I really don't want to be rivals with you, Rong."
After he said that, Rong Guang also fell silent.
"I called because I came to your land, so I have to say hello to you anyway. I don't have anything else to say. Let's see you in the game, Rong."
Schweinsteiger was about to hang up.
But Rong Guang stopped him: "Wait, little pig. After the game, shall we have a meal together? Call Philip and Frank."
"Okay, whoever loses will be treated!" Schweinsteiger's voice became more energetic.
"Isn't it usually a treat to win a game..."
"That won't work, Rong. Whoever loses must be treated, so in order not to treat the guests, we will try our best to win this game!" Schweinsteiger said. "Remember to bring enough money, we want to eat the most...expensive one in Manchester City!"

After Schweinsteiger hung up the phone, he went out to find Ribery and Lahm, and informed them about having dinner with Rong Guang after the game.
"Have you called Rong?" Ram's eyes widened.
"Of course." Schweinsteiger nodded.
"It's really cunning. I said I'd call him later, but I didn't expect you to be the first!"
"You're too dawdling yourself, Philip! You have to have the ability to act, do you understand the ability to act?"
Franck Ribery was watching the two teammates frolicking together, but he was a little distracted.
And Rong on the phone...
"Frank, don't you call Rong?" Schweinsteiger asked Ribery while playing.
Ribery was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "You have said everything that should be said, I will tell him when the game is played."
After finishing speaking, he got up: "I'll go back to rest first."
Watching Ribery leave the room, Schweinsteiger turned to look at Lahm.
"Frank dare not call Rong." Ram said. "Before Rong left, Rong was the core of the team. He led the team to win so many championships. After he left, everyone said that Frank was the core of the team, and Frank was Rong's successor. Even the coach arranged this way. But last season, his core made the team lose the league championship..."
Schweinsteiger whispered: "Bayern Munich fans still can't forget Rong. After losing the league title last season, I heard some fans in the stands telling Frank to go away. They need Rong...Frank has performed well. Everyone compares him with Rong. If he doesn't perform well, call him...He has been living in Rong's shadow..."
After speaking, he shook his head.
"So Frank must have very complicated feelings about seeing Rong again."
"Will he complain about Rong in his heart?" Schweinsteiger asked.
Ram thought for a while, then shook his head: "That's not true. Frank is not a narrow-minded person. But the remarks from the media and fans will indeed make him suffer. This season, the team bought Robben again. Do you know what I thought?"
Schweinsteiger froze for a moment and then said, "Rong?"
Ram nodded: "Before Rong left, the club bought Frank. Then Rong left, and Frank became the core. Now after the team lost the league championship, Frank's performance was criticized, and the club bought Robben again. Who knows if Frank will repeat the same mistakes as Rong?"
Schweinsteiger sighed.
"I really don't know what Hoeness is thinking!"
