Chapter 990
The next day, the media did not wait for Rong Guang's explanation after a night of calm thinking.
He didn't say anything, and followed the team on an away trip.
Journalists were chasing glory outside the pitch at Scunthorpe, hoping to hear what he had to say about his bravado.
The Scunthorpe fans had never seen so many reporters at a game and they were in for a treat.
But these reporters were not able to seize the glory.
Manchester City away to Scunthorpe in the FA Cup.Manchester City, who played in a rotation lineup, finally beat the opponent 1:0.
Rong Guang scored the only goal of the game. It was a wonderful solo performance. He stalked the opponent's penalty area like no one, past two defenders and a goalkeeper, and then sent the ball into the empty goal.
"It's a completely personal performance! Rong showed his overwhelming advantage in front of the Scunthorpe players. It is almost impossible for the Scunthorpe players to guard him!" the commentator exclaimed.
"However, here is the problem. Rong's personal performance is impeccable, but his teammates' performance is not good. Otherwise, Manchester City would never have waited until the No. 607 minute to score..." Alan Hansen, a commentator next to him, said.
Alan Hansen was right.
The form of Manchester City players is not good.
Even the substitute lineup did not show any fighting spirit.
I don't know if it was because the opponent was too weak, or because they lost to Everton, which ended their unbeaten record and affected them.
In short, apart from Rong Guang, the performance of other Manchester City players in this game was not good.
Being able to win against the opponent can only be said to be the credit of Rongguang alone.
If you switch to a team that has always been slightly stronger, even if it is only a Premier League team, Manchester City might lose this game.
Benitez naturally noticed this too.
Rong Guang was not affected by those things, neither his outrageous words nor the team's loss to Everton had affected him.
Benitez believes that the most powerful aspect of Rongguang is probably his psychological quality.
The turmoil of the outside world hardly disturbed him.
Maybe he can really help the team break Arsenal's record?

After the game, some media criticized Manchester City's performance in the FA Cup.
Among them, the criticism of the "North London Horn" is the most intense, or it is more appropriate to say that it is ridicule...
"...Manchester City were so weak against a team like Scunthorpe in the away game. If it weren't for Rong's goal, they might have been dragged into the second round by the opponent. That would be a great shame for Manchester City, which was built with a lot of money! Scunthorpe chose to defend in this game. Their tactics were successful. Most of the time, they withstood Manchester City's offensive. But Rong's personal ability is too outstanding. His genius performance shattered all Scunthorpe's illusions..."
Up to now, this article seems to be praising Rongguang, which will definitely make people who understand the grievances between the two sides feel strange—didn’t the "North London Horn" still fight against Rongguang before?They should be regarded as enemies, right?Why do you want to speak for the enemy now?
But if you read on, you will find that the buttocks of the "North London Horn" are still sitting very straight.
They never forget that they are Arsenal supporters.
In the second half of the article, the focus is on criticism.
"...Manchester City's performance made us think of what Rong said before. He said that he wanted to hit Arsenal's record of 49 consecutive unbeaten games. After watching this game, I couldn't help asking: With such a state and ability, how can Manchester City break Arsenal's unbeaten record? Is it only relying on Rong alone? Rong's personal ability is indeed very strong. We do not deny this. But football is a team sport, and it can never be won by one person. performance..."
Look, it is still fundamentally questioning Rongguang's previous "crazy words".
Other media also believe that Manchester City's recent state has been ups and downs, and their performance is not very good.
Perhaps it was because the previous state was so good that it directly overdrawn their state.
There are also many experts coming on stage, explaining from various angles why this Manchester City team is in a bad state.
The state is constant, and the result of the state appearing too early is that after the state passes, there will be a period of downturn.Manchester City's state has been fully squeezed out in the past year, and Manchester City will naturally perform poorly after being squeezed dry.This is the same as people. People who are too excited will collapse after being excited.
Manchester City is like that.
At the same time, some people think that Manchester City's current poor state is due to the influence of Rong Guang's words.They criticized Rongguang for being in the limelight, but they put the pressure on their teammates.
"... Rong set such an unattainable goal for them without the consent of his teammates. As a result, they are now together with Rong, being ridiculed and attacked... This kind of pressure does not belong to them, but whether they want it or not, they are now carrying it. The pressure will naturally affect their performance..."
This big hat was deducted by Rongguang. It seemed that the poor performance of Manchester City was Rongguang's fault.As for Rong Guang helping the team win... that is entirely his fault - if he hadn't put so much pressure on the team and caused the team to be in poor condition, why would he need to work so hard to help the team win and do the work of other teammates?

"It's really verbal criticism..." Deborah opened a newspaper casually, and there must be some remarks critical of glory.
There has never been such a scene before.
Even before Rong Guang returned to Manchester City, the media expressed regret and doubts about him, not criticism, but regret.
But now, everyone is criticizing Rongguang's arrogance and arrogance, and he no longer knows how to respect people.
Facing Arsenal's undefeated record, what Rongguang should do is respect, respect, not provocation.
"You can't keep talking about this issue, I think you should find an opportunity to clarify this matter in front of the media." Deborah said.
Rong Guang nodded: "That will be after tomorrow's training."
Rong Guang kept his promise. After the training the next morning, when he was signing autographs for the fans, the reporters also surrounded him.
The questions everyone asked him were also related to records.
Facing these reporters, Rong Guang said: "I don't despise the record created by Arsenal. 49 unbeaten games is very remarkable. But that doesn't mean that their record will never be broken. As for whether Manchester City can do it, everyone can be a witness. The matter about the record ends here."
Rong Guang also doesn't want the media's endless hype to continue, it's not good for both of them.
Later, the "Manchester Evening News" also wrote an article in support of Rongguang.
"...When Nottingham Forest set a record of 42 consecutive unbeaten games, everyone thought it should be an unprecedented record, but Arsenal surpassed them. When Arsenal set the record, did Nottingham Forest accuse Arsenal of disrespecting their predecessors? No. So what Rong said is right, any record is born from the day it is born. We don't know if Manchester City can really break Arsenal's record one day in the future, but it is always right to work towards this goal. It is commendable."
However, the "North London Horn" does not intend to let Rongguang and Manchester City go.
They refuted the Manchester Evening News article.
"Before Arsenal created a record of 49 consecutive unbeaten games, they did not provoke Nottingham Forest, claiming that they must break the opponent's record!"
The "Manchester Evening News" continued to fight each other for glory.
"To say that Rong provoked Arsenal first, we have to see who started the incident first. When Manchester City was unbeaten, they did not say they were targeting Arsenal. But after they lost a game, the North London media's gloating face is really annoying! Manchester City has never regarded Arsenal's record as a target, but the North London media has created such a false impression. I think under such circumstances, Rong told the reporter of the "North London Horn" It is understandable to make such a remark—Rong is not a person who likes to make troubles, but please remember, he is also a person who is not afraid of troubles!"
Manchester City and Arsenal have had a quarrel that can be said to be overwhelming.
In fact, this is not just a matter of records. The supporters of both clubs are so angry. In the final analysis, it has something to do with Manchester City grabbing Arsenal's fourth place last season.Arsenal can only play in the Europa League this season. It is natural to see Manchester City participating in the Champions League. They want to get revenge this season, but they have not succeeded.
Originally, they were quite happy to see that Manchester City was assigned to the death group of the Champions League. They hoped that Manchester City would be eliminated and make a good embarrassment to let them know that the Champions League is not so easy to mess with. Don’t think that going to the Champions League is equivalent to going to heaven.
As a result, Manchester City played very well in the Champions League group stage. They even defeated strong teams such as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in a row, won the first place in the group, and successfully qualified from this death group.
For a while, the feelings of Arsenal supporters became more complicated...
Moreover, Manchester City is still very rich, which makes Arsenal, who are financially stretched to build an "Emirates Stadium", even more dwarfed.
This makes Arsenal's supporters somewhat "hate the rich".
Now that Arsenal has no advantage in terms of results in front of Manchester City, the only thing that has an advantage is the glorious past-Manchester City's past is indeed very pale compared to Arsenal's past.
And the undefeated record created is also part of the glorious past.
Now the glory of Manchester City is uttering wild words to challenge our Arsenal's unbeaten record, it is unbearable!
