Chapter 1219 Now Motivated
The press conference ended not long after Rong Guang said those words. It was obvious that the reporters were a little distracted. Next, Benitez introduced Manchester City's preparations, but the reporters didn't listen much. They didn't even ask about the rumors in the transfer market.
They couldn't wait to get the word out.
Some journalists couldn't bear to use their smartphones to post the news on social networks at the press conference, and it quickly attracted a lot of attention.
"Rong fired again! He said he wanted to make Manchester City the first team to defend the title after the restructuring of the Champions League!"
The press conference ended quickly, and the reporters didn't want to stay and continue to ask Benitez and Rong Guang alone as they did in the past. They left quickly, obviously busy going back to edit the news.
Sitting in the already empty press conference room, Benitez asked Rong Guang beside him: "Rong, what do you think? Why did you throw such a bombshell suddenly? Did you see the expressions of those reporters? Everyone was shocked as if there was an earthquake. Don't mention them, I am very surprised-I have never heard you mention this matter."
Rong Guang smiled apologetically at Benitez: "Sorry, boss. I also thought of it on the spur of the moment, and I haven't had time to communicate with you first. I think you know better than me the current situation of the team. The team seems to have no motivation."
Benitez nodded, he was indeed very clear about this, and he also had a headache.
"Then since there is no motivation, let's find a motivation." Rong Guang continued. "Becoming the first team to successfully defend the Champions League since the restructuring, isn't that motivation enough?"
Benitez looked at Rong Guang in surprise, but he didn't expect Rong Guang to consider the problem from this perspective.
He had been thinking about how to change blood to ensure the team's combat effectiveness.Unexpectedly, Rongguang directly set a goal for the team...
The defending Champions League champion... Benitez didn't even dare to think about it before.
But now that Rong Guang said so, it seems that there is really a way...
"But you know how difficult it is to defend the title? Do you think those champions before us didn't want to defend the title? But no matter how strong they are, no one has succeeded." Benitez reminded, he was afraid that Rong Guang would not know how difficult it was.
"I know, boss. But when I said that I wanted to surpass Arsenal's record of 49 games, many people didn't believe it. They thought it was too difficult and absolutely impossible... What happened?" Rong Guang shrugged. "You have to try. If you don't try, you will never be able to. Anyway, the words have been spoken, and I think everyone will have a little more motivation now?"
Benitez resisted the urge to roll his eyes. If your words are hyped up by those media, who knows what will happen...
But it's hard to say whether there is motivation, the pressure must be huge!
For any team, after they win the Champions League, few dare to say that they will definitely defend the Champions League next season.
Rong Guang said so, as the captain of Manchester City, it means that this is not about him alone, but about the entire Manchester City.
Especially myself, if I fail to defend my title in the end, maybe I will be blamed. If the player is so strong but he didn't win the championship, it must be the head coach's problem. Fire the head coach and replace him with a better one.So I have to fuck off...
"Okay, do your best... but I have a request, Rong. Before you say such shocking words next time, can you tell me in advance so that I can prepare myself. Did you see my expression just now? It was completely natural... I was scared by you!"
Rong Guang laughed: "Okay, boss, I won't scare you next time!"

That night, TV stations, radio stations, and the Internet quickly responded to Rong Guang's words.
Rong Guang's "rhetoric words" at the press conference were released, so that everyone could see or hear Rong Guang's answer.
Everyone was commenting on Rong Guang's remarks, expressing their views and attitudes.
"Rong said he wanted Manchester City to defend the Champions League title? To be honest, I think he must have said something wrong. He should have said 'defending the league champion'?"
"Since the UEFA Champions League was restructured in 1992, there has never been a team that has been able to successfully defend the title of this competition. The competition in the Champions League is very fierce every year. It may not be useful if you are in good shape and strong. Sometimes you have to hope for a little bit of luck. If these conditions are met, it is possible to reach the final... This is just reaching the final... What so many teams have failed to do, I don't think Manchester City can do it this season. No matter how powerful they are, they may not be able to do it. , the desire for honor is not as strong as before..."
"Although Rong is not like Zlatan Ibrahimovic who stabs himself in the media every day, he is also known for his big mouth. He has made a lot of controversial remarks, and these controversies have pushed him to the forefront. This time he has a new work. In the routine press conference in the afternoon, he actually stated that he would lead the team to successfully defend the title. Although Rong can always do what he says, but this time he seems to be playing too big..."
Another website published such a photo, the photo is the scene of the press conference in the afternoon, Rong Guang sat on one side, and Benitez next to him.Rong Guang in the photo had a slight smile on his face, but Benitez next to him was not so calm, he was covering his forehead with his hand!
"...Obviously Rong's words also shocked his head coach Benitez. First of all, it can be seen from Benitez's performance that he did not know that Rong would say such a thing at the press conference. Secondly, even Benitez did not believe that he could do such a thing. It can be seen that Rong's exaggeration this time is a bit too much...In addition, Benitez's statement seems to represent something that we don't know clearly..."
The website was alluding to the mistrust between Rong Guang and Benitez.
Benitez's natural movements and expressions were caught by the reporters and made a big fuss, so public figures have to learn how to deal with the media, otherwise they will not know how they died...
If there is really no communication between Rongguang and Benitez, or if there is some gap between the two, then the provocation may have been successful.
Soon, not only the media in England, but also the entire European media were discussing this matter. Of course, most of them opposed and questioned.
"Only God can decide whether Manchester City can successfully defend the Champions League, not Rong!" Another media responded to this incident quite strongly.
※※※
And the players of Manchester City also knew that Rong Guang had already let the words out amidst the hype in the media.
Manchester City is going to defend the Champions League this season!
As for defending the title, they already knew about it from Rong Guang, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
However, when the whole of Europe is discussing Manchester City's defending title, and insisting that Manchester City is absolutely impossible to defend the title, some Manchester City players feel a sense of indignation-why insist that we cannot successfully defend the title before the Champions League has started?
How do you say that we are also the last champions, even if the previous historical data proves that no team can defend the championship, but you say that is too hurtful.
Too contempt for people!
These Manchester City players already have emotions in their hearts, and they are eager to use the Champions League championship to slap these people who vowed to look down on Manchester City at the end of the season!
Not motivated?
It wasn't there before, but now it is!
That's a slap in the face!
Although not all Manchester City players have this feeling of common hatred, but at least some of them have, and that's fine.
Glory will not be fighting alone.

Benitez also quickly stood up to support his disciples: "The actions and expressions about me in the media are misunderstandings. I don't want to explain too much. I just want to say one thing-in any case, there is no problem between Rong and I. We cooperate happily and enjoy this cooperation very much. What do I think about defending the Champions League? That is not only Rong's goal, but also the goal of our Manchester City team."
As the head coach of Manchester City, Benitez's statement will of course be understood as the official attitude of the entire Manchester City.
Of course Benitez knows that this road to defending the title will be difficult, but now he has no better way.Support Rongguang, get on the same boat with Rongguang, and have a chance to survive.If you don't get on the boat, you can die now.
In addition to Benitez, Manchester City’s executives and club chairman Fahim also stood up to support Rongguang: “We know very well that after the restructuring of the Champions League, no team can successfully defend the title, but that is history, and history does not represent the future. No one has done it in the past, and it does not mean that no one will do it in the future. We are an ambitious team, and we will do things that have been sentenced to death by others.”
The club president and team head coach all supported Rongguang, and soon the first Manchester City player who publicly supported Rongguang also stood up.
But this person surprised everyone, because he was not David Silva who had a good relationship with Rongguang, nor Sneijder, but...Ibrahimovic.
It seems that the madman from Sweden who doesn't have a good relationship with Rong Guang!
"I was very surprised by the fuss made by the media. I didn't expect such a simple thing to be a big deal in their eyes. Or I have always had the wrong impression of them. In fact, they are a bunch of cowards. What's incredible about defending the Champions League?"
Although he didn't say "I support Ronggu", everyone understands the meaning. He is standing in the same trench with Rongguang...
With the support of the club chairman, team coach and teammates, Manchester City seems to have really set up a posture, and wants to turn Rong Guang's "big talk" into reality!
"Are they crazy?" Some stubborn opponents and doubters couldn't help exclaiming.
