Chapter 1268 Opponents
"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!!!"
When Rong Guang smashed the football into the goal, all Manchester City fans in the stands of Manchester City Stadium jumped up and shouted with all their strength.
"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!!!!"
If Rong Guang's second ball was a beautiful barb, the beauty of the ball in their cheers also accounted for a lot of reasons.
Then for this ball, they were more shocked by Rong Guang's indomitable momentum!
Rong Guang rushes to compete for the top, he is very likely to bump head against Rio Ferdinand, he is very likely to be injured, and even seriously injured.
But Rong Guang probably didn't think about getting injured at all when he jumped. Everyone firmly believed that Rong Guang only had football in his eyes at this moment, not even Rio Ferdinand.
In order to be able to reverse the score, Rong Guang really went all out.
In the end, he did not work in vain!
The football was headed into the goal by him first!
Neither Rio Ferdinand nor De Gea could stop a football from flying into the goal.
"Rong! The decisive goal! Manchester City reversed 4:3! After falling behind by three goals in the first half, they completed a great reversal!"
"It would be perfect to use this ball to end the game..." Alan Hansen also said with emotion. "Manchester City wants to reverse the unfavorable situation of falling behind by three goals. It is not enough to rely solely on skills and tactics. They also need an indomitable momentum and a fearless spirit. And these are fully reflected in Rong's goal!"
John Mortensen nodded again and again: "That's right, it seems that Manchester United will lose to Rong again. But I have nothing to regret when I lose to Rong like this."

When Rong Guang headed the football into the goal, Ferguson didn't rush to the sidelines to yell anxiously this time, but sat in his own seat, chewing gum in his mouth.Only those who are careful enough can notice that Ferguson is chewing gum much faster than before.
His heart suffered a huge shock at that moment, and he could only release the pressure by chewing quickly.
In the case of leading by three goals, you can still reverse the opponent's four goals. Such a thing is indeed very unacceptable...
He was strong enough not to fall down clutching his heart.
Behind him, the entire Manchester United bench was silent.
None of them could accept such a result.
The three-goal lead failed to defeat this opponent, so what are they going to do?
No one knew, and their hearts were filled with despair.
※※※
"It's really surprising...Although the game is not over, but you look at the Manchester United players, you can clearly see the signs of losing fighting spirit from their faces and eyes...It seems that the game is over."
"This is the psychological shock that Rong's goal brought to them..." Alan Hansen said. "Leading by three goals, it was reversed in the end. Rong scored three goals alone. It can even be said that the gap between the three goals was filled by Rong alone. When they face such an opponent, they will definitely feel a little desperate. No matter what they do, it will be difficult to defeat the enemy in front of them. I can completely understand this feeling, it is really powerless..."
Alan Hansen rarely ridiculed Manchester United players directly, but sympathized with them.
There is nothing ironic about this matter, Manchester United players have actually performed very well.

When everyone was cheering for the goal, Rong Guang was still lying on Rio Ferdinand's body and did not get up.
Ferdinand didn't overthrow Rongguang either. He raised his hands to maintain his balance. Of course, everyone fell to the ground now, and it was useless.
His hand was still hanging, and then he lowered it slowly, but instead of putting it on the ground, he patted Rong Guang's back lightly: "Oh..."
He sighed.
"Although I don't want to admit defeat, but in front of this ball, there is no way to think about it, right?" Ferdinand said softly.
Only then did Rong Guang realize that there was another person under him.
So he quickly put his hands together and got up from the ground.
After getting up, he stretched out his hand to Ferdinand: "Didn't hit you?"
Ferdinand caught Rong Guang's hand: "How is it possible? My physical fitness!"
After finishing speaking, Rong Guang pulled him up with all his strength.
Rong Guang patted Ferdinand on the back lightly, turned around and went to his teammates who jumped at him.
Ferdinand, on the other hand, stood there, leaning against the goal post, shaking his head.
No way, no way.
It's impossible to meet such a person.
He was convinced to lose this ball.

The Manchester City players all laughed and ran wildly, rushing to the glory to celebrate the goal.
For the first time, no one came up to give Kaka a hug.
Kaka just watched everyone rush up, and then drowned the glory.
Only he and Zlatan Ibrahimovic did not go up, and even the goalkeeper Joe Hart ran over from the door, and was the last to throw himself into the crowd.
Kaka just looked at it, and didn't intend to go up to celebrate.
But his heart is not as peaceful as he has shown.
In this pass, he had to say that he didn't know if he would score a goal before the pass, and there was some sense of luck in it.
In the end, Rongguang was able to push the football into it in such a way.
Kaka thought of what Rong Guang said during the intermission.
"...I have no intention of giving up the FA Cup..."
He really did what he said.
Kaka noticed that even Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who usually uses his nostrils to see the glory, turned his head and looked at the glory in the crowd intently.
He didn't know if he felt the same vibration in his heart?

After Rong Guang's goal, although there were about seven or eight minutes left in the game, and Manchester City only led by one goal, Manchester United seemed to have no fighting spirit.
Even Ferguson stood on the sidelines, chewing gum mechanically, and made no other adjustments.
Finally, with the referee's three whistles, the decibels of cheers in the Manchester City Stadium reached a peak.
When Manchester City fell behind by three goals in the first half, they successfully reversed and eliminated their city rivals Manchester United with a score of 4:3!
And Manchester United once again fell at the feet of Manchester City.
This time, though, they lost with a little more dignity.After all, they completely suppressed Manchester City in the first half.
Of course, this is of no use.
Because they still lost in the end, especially when they lost the game with a three-goal lead in the first half.
If given a choice, they'd rather play like shit in the first half and a dragon in the second half...
But unfortunately, there is no choice.
Manchester United lost again.
After the game, City's players celebrated as if they had won the FA Cup.In the first half of the league, when they beat Manchester United 6:1 away, they never celebrated so wildly.
Perhaps the sense of near-death this time is what made them celebrate so wildly.

After the game, Rongguang found Rio Ferdinand and exchanged jerseys with him. The two hugged and shook hands again, and then separated.
After the game, when Ferdinand answered questions from reporters, he talked about Rongguang's third goal, which was also the most critical goal of the game.
"...I didn't really see him, I was so focused on the football. And...to be honest, I looked around before I jumped and I'm pretty sure there wasn't a Man City player near me. I don't know how he got there..."
A reporter asked: "Did you watch the replay of the goal afterwards?"
Ferdinand nodded: "Of course, I saw it, and that really surprised me, man...he is like a lion flying up to eat."
Rio Ferdinand's exaggeration made the reporters laugh, and Ferdinand laughed too. Although the loss made him frustrated, he still showed a gentlemanly demeanor at this time.
"I know that ball can be talked about by you for a long time, and every time it is replayed, I will be in the background. But it doesn't matter, who made this ball so exciting?"
Rio Ferdinand shrugged and waved goodbye to the reporters before walking out of the mixed zone.
Although he and Rong Guang are rivals.
But having opponents like that... is also the beauty of football.

After eliminating Manchester United, Manchester City was able to successfully advance to the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Their opponents in the next round are still unknown. After all the teams that advance to the fourth round are decided, they will be determined by drawing lots.
The FA Cup is followed by the League Cup.
Manchester City, who have reached the semi-finals of the League Cup, will welcome their semi-final opponents Liverpool at home.
This is the game on January 25, and the second round of the semi-final will be played on January [-].
And this will be interspersed with the league and the fourth round of the FA Cup on January 28.
The schedule is very dense, and it is also a very severe test for Manchester City.
Here's what's happening now - when Manchester City knocked Manchester United out of the FA Cup, they also created a formidable opponent who threatened their third consecutive league title.The Champions League and the FA Cup have been eliminated successively. Manchester United will never allow failure in the league, so they will definitely try their best to pull Manchester City down in the next half of the season. Even if they lose the UEFA Cup because of this, Manchester United may not care about the UEFA Cup at all.
Manchester City, on the other hand, has to face the situation of fighting on the third or even fourth fronts - the league, the Champions League, the FA Cup and the League Cup.
This is definitely a very severe test for Manchester City.
Manchester City has never successfully dealt with this kind of multi-line combat experience, and it can be seen from the previous few seasons.
Last season was their limit, they won the league and the Champions League.
But winning the Champions League has a lot to do with their own dark horse status.
They are defending the Champions League this season, which is more difficult than winning the Champions League for the first time last season.
Coupled with the drag from the FA Cup and the League Cup, maybe Manchester City will have a four-tier collapse?
