Chapter two hundred and eighty dead enemy
Two days later, Rongguang received a call from Molly, and Molly told him good news that Gao Hongbo's coaching position would not have any problems. The Chinese Football Association fully respected the players' opinions. Since the players all think that Gao Hongbo has no problem coaching the team, let him continue to coach the Chinese national team and strive for the 2014 Brazil World Cup.
In addition, Molly also told him one thing, that companies that had previously intended to sponsor the Football Association have also changed their views on the candidates for the national team's head coach and fully respected Glory's opinions. Since there is no problem in coaching the team, there will be no change of coaches. Their other sponsorship plans will not be affected by this matter.
This is also a happy ending.
Molly also told Rongguang that the companies sponsoring the Football Association seem to have any cooperation to talk to him.
Rongguang asked Molly to reply to the other party, and if there was any cooperation, she would ask Debola. She was responsible for this matter and she would not worry about it. He didn't even ask what the other party wanted to cooperate.
At the end of March, the Chinese national team will have two warm-up matches, both of which will be played in the country. Rongguang will go back to participate in the competition.
He is very happy that the head coach he will see is still Gao Hongbo, not someone else.

As time goes by March, the 29th round of the league also starts on March 5. Manchester City's game is on the afternoon of March 6, and 9:30 pm on March 6, Beijing time.
Because China Central Television only bought the broadcast rights of Manchester City games from Tiansheng Media, CCTV also broadcasts the Premier League only broadcasts Manchester City games. They broadcasts the games with Manchester City, and they don’t broadcasts without Manchester City games. Therefore, the Premier League has taken care of the following Chinese audiences.
Originally, some games in Manchester City were arranged at night in Greenwich time, which was the early morning of the next day in Beijing time.
But this time is obviously not conducive to Chinese fans watching the game.
Why are there not many audiences in La Liga in China? It is because many games are all in the second half of the night. Only real hardcore fans stay up late to watch the game. Most people don’t know how to watch the live broadcast. It would be great to find a highlight online when you get up the next day.
So if the Premier League matches are also broadcast in the early morning, they will have a great impact on the ratings and promotion of the Premier League.
Therefore, considering the Chinese audience's enthusiasm for the Glory Games, the Premier League has tried its best to arrange all Manchester City's leagues in the afternoon of Greenwich time, which is exactly the prime time of the evening in Beijing time in China.
But for Manchester City and Manchester City opponents, as the weather gets hotter and summer comes, it is always quite uncomfortable to play in the afternoon.
Because it's hot...

In the 29th round of the league, Manchester City will face Wigan Athletic at home.
Wigan Athletics was only 0:4 in the last round. In this round, they met Manchester City, who was jealous of the championship with Manchester United. Naturally, their fate was not much better.
This time, Manchester City played against Wigan Athletic at home, and Manchester United's away challenge to Liverpool were played at the same time.
Manchester City is relatively relaxed, while Manchester United faces challenges from old opponents.
Although Liverpool has no longer achieved fame and is only ranked sixth in the league, and does not even have the qualification to be a Champions League.
But this does not mean that they are easy to bully at Anfield Stadium.
As the focus of this round, Liverpool's game against Manchester United is highly anticipated.
Only Chinese fans and media are paying attention to Manchester City's game against Wigan Athletics at home.
In the first thirty minutes of the game, both games were calm.
Wigan Athletics is not like continuing the bad results of their last game. Although this game was away, they performed very tenaciously, especially when defending. Wigan Athletics is a team that has always been tenacious. Their players are simply blocking Manchester City players' shots with their bodies during the game.
Under such circumstances, Manchester City did not score at the beginning.
Thirty minutes passed, and the score was still 0:0.
In another stadium, Liverpool and Manchester United were indistinguishable from each other.
Although Manchester City did not score, they still had an overwhelming advantage over Wigan Athletics, and they were almost playing around Wigan Athletics' halftime.
Both Manchester United and Liverpool had opportunities in the match, but they didn't catch it. The two teams seemed to be evenly matched.
Ferguson once said that he believed that his greatest achievement in coaching Manchester United for so many years was not how many Premier League championships he won or how two Champions League championships he won, but "pull *?**** Liverpool off the throne!"
Before Ferguson took over Manchester United, Liverpool was the well-deserved overlord in English football.
As Manchester United, which has the same glorious history, naturally disliked Liverpool's top deals for a long time.
Now Manchester United has become the well-deserved overlord of the Premier League, and the same sentiment has spread among Liverpool.
Liverpool is no longer able to pose any threat to Manchester United in the Premier League championship competition, but they can also show their strength in direct conversations with Manchester United twice a year, proving that they are not weaker than Manchester United, thus pulling Manchester United off the horse and enjoying the pleasure of victory.
At this moment, Manchester United is in a fierce competition for the league championship with Manchester City, and Liverpool is very clear about this.
There is nothing more exciting than beating Manchester United at home and then letting Manchester United lose the league championship.
So although Liverpool only ranked sixth in the league and could not win the championship at all, their performance was like they were competing for the league championship with Manchester United, playing very hard.
Manchester United also felt this resistance during the game.
Ferguson stood on the sidelines, frowning and constantly chewing gum.
Liverpool played so hard, he didn't feel that it was great.
Sure enough, in the 34th minute, Liverpool striker Kuyt scored his first record for the team!
Liverpool takes the lead!
※※※
Manchester City, who is sieging Wigan Athletic at home, also received news from Anfield Stadium.
Manchester United lag behind!
Manchester City fans in the stands heard a huge cheer, and the fans used this method to tell the players on the court that Liverpool scored a goal!
News of Manchester United falling behind has inspired Manchester City players, who have been working harder in the offense.
Wigan Athletics defended very hard, but now Manchester City is making efforts again, Wigan Athletics' defense line is suddenly shaking and full of loopholes...
In the 37th minute, just three minutes after Liverpool scored, Manchester City also pierced through the Wigan Athletics goal.
The goal scorer is Ibrahimovic who was released from ban in this game and returned!
Ibrahimovic received a cross from Sabaleta in the penalty area, taking advantage of his long legs to stomp the football into the goal before the goalkeeper and the defender.
Manchester United lag behind, Manchester City leads, and the gap between the two sides is widened!
The cheers in the stands went up to the next level, much more than when Manchester United was lagging behind!
※※※
The two games seem to be related.
After Manchester City had just scored a goal, another news came from Anfield Stadium - Kuyt scored another goal!
Dutch shooter scored twice!
Liverpool is now leading Manchester United 2:0!!
Manchester City fans continued their cheers for Ibrahimovic's goal before they ended.
The coaches and players on the coach's bench were also very happy.
If Manchester United loses this game and Manchester City wins Wigan Athletics again... the gap between the two sides will change from five points to eight points now.
With nine rounds left in the league, the eight-point difference has announced the end of the championship suspense of this season!
It is difficult for a team to lose the championship when they lead eight points with only a few rounds of league left.
※※※
Before the end of the first half, Rongguang used a direct free kick to expand the lead for Manchester City.
2:0!
On another court, the scores between Manchester United and Liverpool have not changed.
Both sides entered the intermission with the same score.
During the halftime break, the atmosphere in the Manchester City locker room was very relaxed, and the players on the court also knew the situation there. Everyone was very happy to hear that Manchester United was two goals behind.
They are all cheering for Liverpool.
Some people were gloating and speculating that Ferguson's hair dryer had a new hairstyle for all Manchester United players at this time...
Ferguson did scold his players in the locker room, yelling everyone out of blood.
Manchester United's performance in the first half was really too bad.
But his hair dryer didn't work.
Twenty minutes after the second half, Kuyt seized the opportunity of Manchester United's crazy attack to equalize the score, hit them a counterattack, scored another goal, and completed his hat trick in this game!
"Kuyt! Kuyt! Kuyt!!" John Motson's excited shouts came from the headphones of every Manchester City fan.
They also shouted the names of the Dutch shooters.
"Kuyt completed a hat trick!" Assistant coach Mauricio Pellegrino said excitedly to Benitez.
Benitez nodded, indicating that he knew.
On the surface, he didn't seem very excited. Because he is the team's head coach, and now his team's game is still in progress, he naturally has to have a little bit of awareness as a head coach and not be too happy and angry.
But in fact, his heart has already stirred up trouble!
With an advantage of eight points, the league championship is within reach!
He won the league championship for two consecutive seasons, and his coaching career has reached its peak.
This is an achievement he did not achieve in Liverpool or Valencia.
Now it seems that it is really right that he chose to join Manchester City as a firefighting coach in the middle...
He coached Manchester City and was once thought to be for money, but he achieved the peak of his coaching career at Manchester City.
So...Who says that fish and bear's paw cannot be both?
I made money and won a lot of championships!
It's so happy for everyone!
Chapter completed!
