Chapter 947 Preparing for Real Madrid
Chapter 947 Preparing for Real Madrid
For the next half of the week, Rong Guang and his backhook were still the focus of everyone's attention.
from the UK to other countries.
France, Germany, Spain, Italy... other countries are talking about glorious goals.
There are even many people who simply think that Rong Guang has returned to his status before his injury-he is the best football player in the world.
This statement will naturally make some other people upset-what position do you put us Messi? !
Barcelona is the most powerful team in European football today, dream three teams!
As the core of this team, Messi is naturally the most powerful player in Europe and even the world.
Just like Messi achieved his No.1 position by defeating Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United, if Rongguang wants to regain his own glory, then he must first defeat Messi...
However, these people also admitted that even if Rong Guang is not number one in the world, he is also number two in the world, even better than Cristiano Ronaldo-Messi fans always dislike Cristiano Ronaldo the most.
Considering that Rongguang and Messi have a good personal relationship, Messi's fans are also extra merciful, allowing Rongguang to be ranked behind Messi.
※※※
Rong Guang doesn't care whether he is ranked number one or number two now.
He doesn't care about whether he returns to the top or not.Because he doesn't want to return to the top at all, he wants to continue to write legends.
Beating Manchester United in the Premier League, his undercut kick was talked about for a long time, but he didn't care about it the next day.
He resumed his training.
Preparing for the next seventh round of the league, Manchester City will face West Ham United at home.
Next is the second game of the Champions League group stage, Manchester City challenged Bordeaux away.
If Manchester City can beat Bordeaux, they will achieve two consecutive victories and will occupy a favorable position in the group stage.
After all, Bordeaux is the safest target for Manchester City to grab points. Against Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, it is still difficult to beat them away, but against Bordeaux... Manchester City's players are confident that they can double kill them at home and away.
If they can't get all six points on Bordeaux, it will be difficult for Manchester City to qualify from this group.
After playing Bordeaux, Manchester City will play back-to-back matches with Real Madrid in the group stage.
This is a revenge battle between Sneijder and Robinho.
It is also the key two games for Manchester City.
If Manchester City can win at least one of them, it will be very beneficial for them to qualify.
※※※
Next, Manchester City defeated West Ham United 3:1 at home in the league.
In the UEFA Champions League group stage in the middle of the week, Manchester City defeated Bordeaux 2-0 cleanly in an away game.
They won two consecutive victories in the group stage.
This game proved that Manchester City's last game against Bayern Munich was not luck, and it proved what Benitez said after the last game against Bayern Munich, this Manchester City is indeed a strong team!
At least, in this group, they are no longer the fourth tier team!
In this biological clock against Bordeaux, Rongguang scored a goal.
Scored in two consecutive group games.
This makes people vaguely see the demeanor when he won the Champions League's top scorer and best striker for three consecutive years...
After returning from France, Benitez adjusted the rotation of the team's starting lineup, replacing most of the main players.
Therefore, Manchester City shook hands with Aston Villa 1:1 away in the eighth round of the league.
Rong Guang scored the only goal for the team, avoiding the bad luck of Manchester City's away loss...
In the next ninth round of the league, Manchester City is still an away game, and their opponent is Wigan Athletic.
In this game, Manchester City will play with all the main players.
They beat Wigan Athletic 4-0 away.
Although Wigan Athletic played tenaciously, Manchester City were clearly superior.
Under the leadership of Sneijder and Rong Guang, the team completely controlled the situation on the field.
In the end, Sneijder scored twice, Rong Guang and Robinho each scored a goal.
In the 67th minute of the game, Benitez replaced Sneijder.Because they were worried that the Wigan Athletic players would become angry in the case of a big loss, and they would move too much and hurt the Manchester City players.
As a result, Sneijder was a little unhappy when he left the field. He didn't even communicate with Benitez, and went straight back to the locker room.
This caught everyone's attention at the time of the game.
The media felt very strange - they had never heard of the discord between Sneijder and Benitez before?
It is not the first time that Sneijder has been replaced in a game. Why is he so angry when he is replaced early this time?
Discord between generals?
Before the upcoming Champions League group match with Real Madrid, this contradiction was exposed... that is big news!
The reporters immediately became excited and made up all kinds of dramas in their brains.
As a result, their vision was shattered after the game ended.
After the game, Sneijder was interviewed by reporters in the mixed zone. When asked why he behaved after being replaced, he scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm really not happy about being replaced early. That's because I'm eager to perform better in the game...but the boss has his own ideas. He hopes that I can perform well in the next Champions League game. I think he did the right thing. I can't have the slightest surprise before the game against Real Madrid. There is no conflict between me and the boss. I let you down. It's not good. mean."
A group of reporters looked at each other...
They didn't suspect that what Sneijder said was false, because they all realized it.
The next game is the Champions League group match between Manchester City and Real Madrid!
Of course, this game is of great significance to Sneijder!
This summer, Sneijder originally planned to stay in Real Madrid to prove himself, but Real Madrid was determined to sell him.
Even at the expense of tearing their faces apart, Real Madrid refused to sign up for Sneijder at all, deprived him of his jersey number, and said that if Sneijder did not leave, then let him rot in the audience.
In the end, they forced Sneijder away as they wished.
But the relationship between the two parties was completely broken.
So this game, for Sneijder, is simply the best opportunity for revenge.
After he came to Manchester City, he performed well and quickly became the core of Manchester City's organization.
He will lead Manchester City to beat Real Madrid, proving how stupid Real Madrid was to let him go!
So in order to prepare for the game against Real Madrid with peace of mind, Sneijder must be replaced in advance, on the one hand to let him rest, and on the other hand to avoid injury.Had he been injured before the game against Real Madrid, it would have been a major loss for both City and Sneijder himself.
After thinking this through, it became clear that Sneijder couldn't blame the head coach for being replaced early, and he had no dissatisfaction with Benitez.
He didn't perform well at the end, but he hasn't recovered yet.Today, after he has calmed down in the locker room, he has figured out the joints, and naturally he will not have any complaints about Benitez.
Sure enough, at the post-match press conference, Benitez also denied that he had any conflicts with Sneijder.
"I replaced Sneijder in advance because we still have a very important Champions League group match in the next week. I must prepare in advance. Sneijder needs more rest time..."
Benitez answered the reporters' questions lightly.
Players and coaches have said so, what else is there for reporters to hype?
They can only hype the love-hate relationship between Sneijder and Real Madrid...
※※※
After the game against Wigan Athletic, the league has also carried out nine rounds.
After nine rounds of the league, the current league leader is...Manchester City.
And Manchester City's result is still the result of one less game!
This shows how strong Manchester City is now.
For those who still think that Manchester City is a fish belly, the information has lagged for a long time...
The effect of this summer's transfer and signings is very obvious. Benitez's targeted signings have enhanced the team's strength and made up for the team's shortcomings.
Since the start of the league, Manchester City has not lost, and they are also the only team in the league that has not lost.
With one game less, they won seven and tied one.
Arsenal are second with 21 points.
Also with 21 points is Chelsea, who rank third.
Manchester United ranked fourth with [-] points, and Tottenham Hotspur ranked fifth with [-] points.
Judging from this ranking, at least in England, Manchester City has become a force that cannot be ignored.
Even... if they can maintain this momentum, it is not impossible for them to compete with the traditional giants for the league title at the end...
※※※
After playing against Wigan Athletic, Manchester City began training to prepare for Real Madrid.
Two consecutive games against Real Madrid, this is a back-to-back game.
Manchester City will play an away game first, and then return to their home court to face Real Madrid on November [-].
So this first game is very important, because it is an away game and it is not easy to play.
Although David Silva has returned from injury, Benitez still does not intend to let him start.
During this time, Robinho's state is very good, and if he plays Real Madrid, Robinho must have an emotional bonus, so Benitez will let Robinho continue to start.
David Silva will have to wait to start.
If he hadn't competed with Rong Guang back then, maybe he wouldn't have been in such an embarrassing situation today... Originally, Benitez bought him to replace Robinho...
Rongguang is naturally the core of the team. He and Sneijder cooperate with each other tacitly, which is an excellent weapon for Manchester City to deal with Real Madrid in the away game.
At centre-back, Diego Godin returned to the bench, with Kompany and Lucio starting, despite his fine form against Arsenal and Bayern Munich.However, Godin's presence has brought Manchester City some changes in the game.
In the midfield, the cooperation between Matuidi and Gareth Barry has become more and more tacit.
Finally, Berbatov was at the center position.
This will be the lineup that City will use against Real Madrid, and it will be their strongest lineup, starting many games, basically no secrets.
