Chapter 989 I'm Interested In This Record
"Hello, I'm George Allen, a reporter from the "North London Horn". You said you are interested in Arsenal's record, but I must remind you that Manchester City has failed. Manchester City's unbeaten streak is fixed at 41 games!"
George Allen's final tone was very serious, and his emotions were even a little angry.
He thinks that Rong Guang's words "I am interested in Arsenal's record" are an insult to Arsenal and a contempt for Arsenal's 49 unbeaten games.
But what made him even more angry was yet to come.
After hearing his words, Rong Guang's expression remained the same, and he said lightly, "Then let's start with the next league match."
George Allen was so angry that he was stunned.
He didn't expect Rong Guang to be able to make such an answer.
It was not easy for Arsenal to complete 49 rounds of unbeaten league games. The hard work and sweat of countless Arsenal soldiers have been poured into it, and of course luck is also indispensable.
How could such an achievement be so understated?
It's as if 49 unbeaten games are so common.
George Allen thinks that Rong Guang's mention of 49 unbeaten games is disrespectful, disrespectful to the record, and disrespectful to the legendary Arsenal if it is not in the tone of extreme surprise.
He was shocked by Rong Guang's attitude.
It wasn't just George Allen who was shocked.
It can even be said that everyone present, except for Rong Guang, was frightened.
Including head coach Benitez.
He couldn't help turning his head, staring at Rong Guang with wide eyes, staring at a monster repeatedly.
All eyes were on Rong Guang.
They wanted to see through this man and understand whether he said what he just said just to get angry with this George Allen, or did he really intend to do so?
The expression on Rong Guang's face did not change at all.
No one can see through his heart.
Everyone here knows how difficult it is to go unbeaten for 49 consecutive games.
In English football, before Arsenal, it was Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest. They had been unbeaten in 42 league rounds. When Arsenal broke this record, Clough was still alive, and he expressed his congratulations to Arsenal.Of course in the end he didn't die while watching Arsenal's 49-match unbeaten run.
Everyone mentioning this record is very respectful, which seems to be the right attitude.
No one has ever dared to disrespect this record.
They didn't understand why Rong Guang said that.
After thinking about it, the only reasonable explanation seems to be that Rong Guang was angry with George Allen.
George Allen also sneered after he came back to his senses: "I hope you will remember what you said, Mr. Rong. Your words will be publicized by our media, and the world will know them. If you say big things but fail to achieve them, you will be laughed at."
Rong Guang shrugged: "Of course I will remember what I said."

"Rong, what were you thinking just now?"
After the press conference, Benitez and Rong Guang walked back to the training ground. On the way, he couldn't help asking Rong Guang next to him why he said that.
"I just think they are too aggressive. We just lost a game, why do they seem to want to prove that we have been completely beaten?" Rong Guang also has a temper.
Benitez turned to look at him: "Then you don't have to promise to break the record of 49 unbeaten matches?"
"Did this bring you a lot of pressure, boss?" Rong Guang asked back.
"Of course, who dares to promise to be undefeated forever? As soon as this is said, it will be a huge pressure. If we lose, the enemy will have an excuse to laugh at us and attack us..."
"But before that, we didn't say whose record we were going to break, but after we lost, we were ridiculed and attacked by so many people."
Rong Guang's answer left Benitez speechless.
Because of the support of the Middle East consortium, Manchester City has always had a lot of criticism in England. Many people hate them for various reasons. Some people are jealous of them because they are rich, some are angry because they sold themselves to the Middle East consortium, and some are unhappy with them because of their good grades.
In short, Manchester City is now the public enemy of the entire country.
And before that, the team that held that role was... Manchester United.
Yes, Manchester United may be the most unpopular team in English football.Every time the England national team played in the past, in the stands of Wembley Stadium, there would always be someone chanting: "If you hate Manchester United, stomp your feet!"
Then there will be a huge stomping sound in the audience.
Manchester United is so annoying because they are too powerful. In the Premier League era, Manchester United is a well-deserved overlord.There are a lot of people who hate them out of hating how powerful they are.
Now, Manchester City has tasted everything that the Manchester United people have experienced.
But they're not really ready yet.
Therefore, Manchester City fans were dissatisfied with the whole England laughing at them after the defeat, so Rongguang also felt the same dissatisfaction.
"But it is indeed very difficult to go unbeaten in the league..." Benitez continued after a moment of silence. "Not only does it require you to have super strength, but you also have to have super luck. In some games, you may do everything perfectly, but in the end you lose the game. It's bad luck. All previous victories have been wasted. This is why it is so difficult to be undefeated in a row. Once you get it, you will be so respected."
After Rong Guang listened to Benitez's words quietly, he asked, "Boss, do you want to win the league championship this season?"
Benitez didn't understand why Rong Guang asked this question, and he could answer Rong Guang immediately without thinking about it: "Of course I want to. Our goal is the league championship."
"Yes, our goal is the league championship." Rong Guang nodded. "But now Chelsea are chasing very closely. If we lose one or two games in the next league game, the final league title may not be ours. Since we want to win the league title, then we cannot lose. Losing a game is not guaranteed."
Benitez stared blankly at Rong Guang, but he didn't expect Rong Guang to say such words.
"I've thought about it, as long as we don't lose a game in the next games of this season, we have a great hope of winning the league championship. In this way, we can remain unbeaten in [-] rounds..."
"That's still short of 34 unbeaten league rounds. If you want to create 49 unbeaten league games and break Arsenal's unbeaten record of [-] games..." Benitez retorted after recovering.
"There is always a way. I think we should get better every year. Since we performed so well this season, it doesn't make sense that we will not be as good next season." Rong Guang said with confidence.
Benitez frowned and fell silent.
It's not that he feels that he has nothing to talk about with Rong Guang, but he is seriously thinking about how to achieve this seemingly unattainable goal...
There are many ways to enhance the strength of the team, and signings is naturally the most direct.
But adjusting the player's mentality and maintaining the state is also a very important means.
But fifty consecutive unbeaten games is really a long process.
In such a long process, who knows what will happen?
With Benitez's ability, he feels that it is very rare for him to guarantee that he will not lose the rest of the season.He can't even think about what will happen next season.
But why did Rong Guang dare to think about it?
Isn't he afraid of those accidents?
※※※
Before the FA Cup game started, there was a news spread throughout England.
That is when Rong Guang, who has always been very kind and low-key in front of the media, suddenly became arrogant once, announcing that he would break Arsenal's unbeaten record of 49 consecutive league games!
"...I have been a sports news commentator for ten years, and this is the first time I have heard such remarks. It is the first time I have heard that someone can actually book a record..."
"I think Rong may not understand that the record he is eyeing is a collective record, and it is about the entire group. It is not up to him alone. If Rong said he would score goals in [-] consecutive games, then I can completely understand. But now... I think it is too arrogant!"
"...Why did Rong say that? It is said that he was provoked by some reporters at the scene, especially a reporter named George Allen. This reporter is from the "North London Horn". He is a loyal Arsenal supporter..."
A picture of George Allen appeared on the TV screen. This reporter for a small regional newspaper had almost no sense of presence in the country before, and he might not even be well-known in North London.But now, he became famous overnight!
"Rong's words are actually more angry words. I believe that after this night, he will realize what he did. Then he will find an excuse to explain what he said..."
"Have you found an excuse yet?" In front of the TV, Deborah turned her head and asked Rong Guang.
Rong Guang snorted, then got up and went out.
Deborah laughed when she heard the door close.
She knew what Rong Guang was doing.
It must have gone to the court outside to give myself extra practice.
This is his answer to those voices in the media.
No matter what others think, he is very serious.
He did have an element of vindictiveness with the reporter at the time.But it's not just grudges.
With a record of 49 consecutive unbeaten games, he really wants to challenge it.
He knows that this is not his own business, but he is willing to do his best to help the team achieve this goal.
Even if he had to pay a high price, he would not hesitate.
