Chapter 941 Taking the Wrong Script?
Chapter 941 Taking the Wrong Script?
"The end of the game——!!!" When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, there was a huge cheer from the audience, and the Manchester City substitutes who had been on the sidelines also rushed into the field at the same time, celebrating the victory with their teammates.
In fact, as early as the game entered injury time, the Manchester City fans in the stands had no intention of watching the game. They were singing and dancing, celebrating the victory in advance.
In their view, the victory of this game is gone.
Now this whistle is just announcing their prediction.
"Manchester City defeated Bayern Munich at home with an incredible 3:1! This is their first Champions League victory in 39 years! This is a historic moment!"
John Mortensen shouted.
"It's really not easy. You must know that what they defeated was not just any team, but Bayern Munich, the seed team in this group! They gave the Germans a big blow!" Alan Hansen also applauded Manchester City.
In football, England and Germany have old grudges.
Generally speaking, in football, the Germans have the upper hand.
So much so that in the 1990 World Cup, after England was eliminated by the German team, England's famous football player Lineker once expressed such emotion: "Football is a game in which 22 people run on the field and the Germans win in the end."
Therefore, in 2001, when the England team defeated the German team 5:1 away in the World Cup qualifiers in Japan and South Korea, the English people would be so crazy, and Owen was elected the European Golden Globe Award that year.
This shows the weight of the Anglo-German football feud.
The game between Manchester City and Bayern Munich can also be said to be a continuation of the football grievances between the English and the Germans.
When Manchester City beat Bayern Munich, the English beat Germany again in football.
Although there are not many young English players in this Manchester City team...

The Manchester City players were wildly celebrating the victory.
At this time, Rong Guang did not participate in the celebration of his teammates, but exchanged jerseys with Ribery.
This was requested by Rongguang.
After the game, Ribery planned to leave the field directly.But Rong Guang stopped him.
"Should I change my jersey?" he asked.
Franck Ribery froze for a moment, then nodded: "Okay." His tone was very calm, and he didn't feel the frustration of losing the game.
Rong Guang was keenly aware of this.
The other Bayern Munich players who lost the game looked frustrated, but Ribéry was calm...
Rong Guang immediately thought of why Ribery did this.
It seems that the problem that has been bothering him has been solved in this game...
That's a really good thing...
The two exchanged their jerseys with each other.
Then Ribery said to Rong Guang: "Let me tell you what I said first, the next round, at our home court, will never let you win again!"
Rong Guang said: "I'll also say what I said earlier. In the next round, even if I go back to the Allianz Stadium, I will not show mercy!"
Next, the two should be separated, but Ribery suddenly whispered: "Thank you."
Rong Guang turned halfway around before hearing Ribery's voice. He turned around and said with a smile, "You're welcome."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards his teammates who were celebrating the victory.
Ribery watched Rong Guang walk towards his teammates, and was quickly pulled into the celebrating crowd by his teammates, never to be seen again.
Rong, who left Bayern Munich, also found his own position in Manchester City, and he also needs to find his own position in Bayern Munich.Fortunately, through this competition, I finally found it...
※※※
As soon as Rong Guang left the stadium, he was blocked by reporters in the mixed zone. Everyone wanted to hear how he felt after defeating Bayern Munich.
Mainly to hear how he feels about revenge.
But Rong Guang didn't think it was revenge.
He shook his head and said: "No, it's not revenge. It's just a normal Champions League group game. It's just that we're playing against a team I used to play for. But I never thought that was special. When I was at Bayern Munich, I played against Werder Bremen. I do what I have to do on the pitch. Isn't that normal?"
"That's what you say, Rong... But when everyone knew you left Bayern Munich, it wasn't very pleasant..."
"Of course, leaving a familiar place and a group of friends, no one will be happy." Rong Guang avoided the important ones.
The reporter certainly knew that he was unwilling to answer this question directly, because revenge against Bayern Munich is a very sensitive topic.
Rong Guang saw that the reporters still wanted to pester this question, but he really didn't want to answer it, so he turned and left, letting the reporters call his name behind him, but he ignored it, and just walked away without looking back.

Later, at the post-match press conference, Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal, who took the lead, was indiscriminately bombarded by the German media.
Make him accountable for this failure.
Van Gaal admitted his mistakes in tactical arrangements. The 352 was originally intended to strengthen the attack on the side. Unexpectedly, this made Manchester City sieve the side. If Bayern Munich was not lucky at the last moment, the final score would definitely not be 1:3.
Then, using this topic, Van Gaal highly praised Manchester City's performance in this game: "Obviously, Manchester City has changed a lot from before. They have become stronger than before, so if they do something in the future that surprises everyone, it's nothing to be surprised... If you still face this Manchester City with previous experience, I'm afraid it will suffer..."
The reporters were quite happy to see Van Gaal take the initiative to admit his mistakes in tactical arrangements, but when they heard what Van Gaal said afterwards, they were all surprised-could a coach like Van Gaal say such convincing words?
So when Benitez attended the press conference later, a reporter recounted Van Gaal's remarks to Benitez, wanting to hear his comments on Van Gaal's remarks.
When he heard these words, Benitez was stunned, because he was very surprised why Van Gaal would say these words. To him, these words seemed to be actively showing weakness...After just losing to Manchester City, he praised Manchester City, doing this...is it really okay?
He thought it was fabricated by the reporter, or exaggerated - after all, reporters are best at doing "artistic" things.
So he asked the reporter: "Did he really say that?"
The reporters nodded.
Benitez saw that even the Manchester Evening News reporter nodded in it.
He knew it looked like Van Gaal had really said that.
But why did he say that?
Are you really convinced by Manchester City?
I'm afraid it's not that simple. Based on Benitez's understanding of Van Gaal, this is a head coach with a very strong personality. He is very tough and an iron-fisted coach. Naturally, it is difficult for such a person to really bow his head to his opponent.
Saying such soft words after a game... In Benitez's view, it is really unusual.
After much deliberation, he felt that if the media reported Van Gaal's remarks, he might attract a lot of pressure and attention to Manchester City, and at the same time, those opponents would pay more attention to Manchester City.
It seems that Van Gaal is planning to bring hatred to Manchester City...
So he planned to deal with it in a low-key manner, be more humble, and lower his posture.
But just when he opened his mouth and wanted to say that.
But Rong Guang's words in the locker room suddenly popped up in his mind.
"...because we are strong. We are really strong, we can beat Bayern Munich, we can beat Real Madrid. We will be different from Shakhtar Donetsk..."
These were the glorious words he overheard outside the locker room.
It was these words that made him firm in his idea of fighting against Bayern Munich and Real Madrid and striving to break out of this group.
It can be said that Benitez was also deeply affected by Rongguang.
If I keep a low profile and keep a low profile, I always feel that those words will make Rong Guang feel... sad, right?
Because we are a strong team... Then why do we pretend to be grandchildren?
And we have defeated Bayern Munich so beautifully, so no matter how low-key it is, will the opponent give up studying us?No, that will only make the opponent more vigilant, because there are more plots behind our low profile...
Rather than that, it is better to admit our ambitions and plots openly and show our strength.
In this way, at least it can win the hearts of the players.
Thinking of this, Benitez's words changed.
"What's wrong with that?"
He looked at the reporters in the audience and asked back.
"We've already said that Manchester City are not here to play in the group stage. Our goal is to get out of the group. So isn't it normal to behave like this? Because we are strong."
A group of reporters stared at such an "arrogant" Benitez and were stunned.
I didn't expect that Benitez, a coach who devoted himself to tactics and didn't know how to deal with reporters, could say such words!
We are strong!
That's not his style at all...
Rethinking Van Gaal’s various compliments to Manchester City before, it’s almost like being convinced by Manchester City...
what is it today?
Did everyone get the script wrong?
On the contrary, the reporter of "Manchester Evening News" couldn't help being distracted when he heard this sentence - such a sentence was actually said from the mouth of a Manchester City head coach, coupled with such a victory, it really makes people feel a little... bloody!
Suddenly, I really want to see where Manchester City will end up after this season's Champions League group stage, and whether they can break into the knockout round.
But if City do make it to the knockout rounds, it means one of the two teams, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, must be knocked out.
So, who will be the eliminated team?
I really can't wait to know...
