Chapter 988 Lost
Chapter 988 Lost
After all the truth came out, even the Brazilian media couldn't excuse Robinho.
Although it is normal for Brazilian players to go to nightclubs and party, it does not mean that it is right to do so.Especially with such a crazy party.
Brazil's media is not indiscriminate between right and wrong.
For a while, no one spoke for Robinho anymore.
And soon, rumors appeared in the media that a certain team was interested in Robinho.
"Manchester Evening News" analyzed: "Robinho's departure now seems irreversible. The question is whether Robinho will leave this winter or summer..."
Benitez was more vigorous in this regard, and he immediately put Robinho up for rent.
Not for sale, but for lease.
Because there is only half of the season left, if you want to sell players now, you will not be able to sell them.Moreover, Robinho has already participated in the Champions League, and he will not have the opportunity to represent other teams in the Champions League this season.Therefore, it is impossible for those teams interested in Robinho to spend tens of millions of euros to buy a player, but they cannot play in the Champions League.
Benitez is so eager to loan Robinho out, which shows that he is angry and disappointed with Robinho's performance. For such a player, he must be cleared out of the team, otherwise he will be the black sheep of the team if he stays here, and I am afraid that he will bring down more players.
Elano, Sturridge and Mika Richards were all banned by Benitez for three games.
In these three games, they couldn't even enter the bench lineup, and could only be a spectator outside the court.
Rong Guang and Lucio were exempted from punishment because they didn't play too crazy.
Rong Guang was the first to leave, and Lucio also left at 10:30. Only Elano, Sturridge, and Richards made it to the end. Of course, they were among the real users of fifty boxes of condoms...
As for Robinho, he naturally lost all chances to play.
Anyway, now that David Silva is in good shape, Benitez doesn't need Robinho anymore.
And there is Martin Petrov who can rotate in this position, so Benitez is not used to Robinho.

In the league, Manchester City does not seem to be affected by Robinho's incident.
In the next No.20 round of the league, they defeated Blackburn 4:1 at home. Although Glory did not score, it completed a hat-trick of assists.
His breakthrough in the game completely disrupted Blackburn's defense, and then sent the football out, because the opponent's defense was completely out of shape, so when he passed the ball, his teammates were very relaxed. They only needed to raise their feet and shoot, without any technical content.
The commentator John Mortensen said that Rongguang's assists are simply "nanny-level". He has completed the most difficult work before passing the assist, leaving the easiest work for his teammates. The meticulous care is almost like a nanny who takes care of people.
In the end, he said with emotion: "...It is really a happy thing to be a teammate with Rong!"
But if Robinho heard this sentence, he would probably roll his eyes.
Being teammates with Rongguang can indeed score more goals and win more honors than usual, but it is also more tiring!With him, whether it is training or competition, you must bear tremendous pressure, because he will always beat you with an invisible whip. Who wants to be teammates with such a person all the time?
But it's all about winning the championship and running away...
※※※
With Rongguang's three nanny assists, Manchester City defeated Blackburn 4:1 at home.
The three beneficiaries are David Silva, Berbatov and Sneijder.
In addition, Lucio also used a corner kick to score a goal.
Manchester City also topped the list with 56 points.
They haven't completely thrown off their competitors, though.
Chelsea has 51 points, only five points less than them, and still has a great chance to compete for the championship.
In the next round of No.20 in the league, Manchester City ended their unbeaten run. They lost 0:2 to Everton led by Moyes in the away game.
This defeat came very suddenly. No one thought that Manchester City would lose before. Everyone is calculating how long their unbeaten streak will last, and whether they have a chance to break Arsenal's 49 unbeaten streak.
However, Manchester City did not do it. Their unbeaten streak was fixed at 41 league games.
After the game, Manchester City's first defeat of the season also triggered a big discussion in the media and public opinion.
"Manchester Evening News" regrets that Manchester City failed to make history.
The media elsewhere, especially in north London, gloated.
When Manchester City was advancing all the way, everyone was saying that Arsenal's 49 consecutive unbeaten games were in jeopardy and would become history.
This will naturally make Arsenal supporters very unhappy.
So seeing Manchester City lose, they are the happiest - our record is preserved!
Even if you snatched our place in the Champions League last season, you can't take away this undefeated record!
You must know that it is not easy to be unbeaten for so many games in a row.
Therefore, it can be said that Manchester City's 41 unbeaten league games are their limit. This time they did not break Arsenal's record, and they will not have another chance in the future-such a rare thing, can they still play every few years?
"Benitez's team finally lost, which made many people relieved-this team built on money is not invincible! I think this meaning is more important than losing a game. This will allow Manchester City's opponents to regain their morale and build up their confidence to challenge them. Manchester City will fall into an unstable state in the next period of time. After such an excellent state, the team will inevitably have some ups and downs. This is also normal..."
Although the manuscript of this newspaper seems quite objective, but after reading it carefully, one can feel the taste of schadenfreude filled between the lines.
In short, everyone is very happy that Manchester City lost.
Some media directly praised Moyes, and some Manchester United fans revisited the past, thinking that Moyes should take charge of Manchester United after Ferguson retires, and he is the most suitable candidate to replace Sir Alex Ferguson.
The whole of England looks happy, like it's Chinese New Year.
The most depressing ones are of course the Manchester City fans. Their undefeated streak was broken, and they were laughed at gleefully by so many people. No one would be in a better mood.
They are devastated, as if losing the game is the end of the world.
Regardless of the fans, the Manchester City players were obviously affected by this defeat. During training, many players were not very focused and serious. On the second day after just losing the game, the Manchester City players on the training ground were not very interested.
It's completely different from usual.
This scene naturally fell into the eyes of the fans and reporters watching the team's training outside the training ground, and was recorded by the reporters with the camera.
When they sent it out, the commentary read: "City's morale is low after the loss, players are not in a good mood in training."
So everyone knew that Manchester City was really hit by this sudden defeat.
※※※
After the league game with Everton, it's the FA Cup.Manchester City will play an away game against low-level team Scunthorpe.
Before going out, Manchester City has a weekly routine press conference. This press conference will usually be attended by the head coach and one or two random players. The players will communicate with the reporters.Answer some of the questions that are most concerned by everyone right now.
This selection is very random, and there are no special requirements. It doesn't mean that you have to be the captain and deputy captain of the team to be able to participate.
So even if it is the glory of being the captain, he doesn't participate very often.
But this time, Benitez stopped him.
"Rong, come with me to meet the reporter."
Rong Guang nodded.
On the way there, Benitez told Rong Guang with some anxiety: "Those reporters should ask about our loss..."
Rong Guang didn't wait for him to finish: "Don't worry, boss, I know what to say."
Benitez glanced at him.
Thinking about the past few days, Rong Guang is one of the few players in the Manchester City team who behaved normally, and he is the most normal among the normal.
This is why Benitez chose to let Rong Guang go with him, because Rong Guang's performance is the most normal, and he will be better than other players when facing reporters.
When Rong Guang walked into the press conference with Benitez, he saw many reporters coming.
What followed was just an ordinary FA Cup game. Manchester City's opponent was Scunthorpe in the low-level league. It stands to reason that such a game could not attract so much media attention.
But now, the whole room is full of people.
Watching this battle as if the next game is not the FA Cup, but the Champions League final...
After the two sat down, the press conference officially began.
Although the FA Cup against Scunthorpe is next, the media are more concerned about the game against Everton that has ended.
Everyone wants to hear how losing this game will affect the team.
"Influence?" Rong Guang was very strange. "How could it be affected?"
"But if you lose the game, how can it have no effect?" The reporter responded tit for tat.
Rong Guang spread his hands: "We lost a game, but we are still number one in the league. How does it affect us?"
"But Chelsea are only two points away from you."
"That's why we are leading." Rong Guang didn't care how small the gap between the two points was.
"In the process of breaking Arsenal's record, but falling short, it is also a great blow to the morale of the team. We noticed that some media reported that the Manchester City team was depressed during training..." The reporters insisted.
Benitez wanted to stand up and make a relief for Rongguang.
But Rongguang didn't give him such a chance.
He directly interrupted the reporter's question.
"It's nonsense to be depressed. We don't actually want to break the Arsenal record. We just like to win. But now that you mentioned it, I'm interested in that record."
This is a bit loud, so some people don't want to listen.
A reporter from London stood up.
He first introduced himself: "Hello, I am George Allen, a reporter from the "North London Horn". You said that you are interested in Arsenal's record, but I must remind you that Manchester City has failed. Manchester City's consecutive unbeaten record is fixed at 41 games!"
After listening to him, Rong Guang replied, "Then let's start with the next league match."
Everyone was shocked.
