The press conference was not long after Rong Guang said that? It was over. It was obvious that the reporters were a little absent-minded. Next, Benitez introduced the preparations for Manchester City. The reporters didn't listen much. Even the rumors in the transfer market did not ask much. They were obviously thinking about what Rong Guang said.

They can't wait to spread the news.

Some reporters could no longer help but use their smartphones to post the message to social networks at the press conference, and soon attracted a lot of attention.

"Rong has fired again! He said he wants to make Manchester City the first defending champion team after the Champions League reform!"

The press conference ended soon, and the reporters did not want to stay and continue to look for Benitez as before. Rongguang asked questions alone. They quickly left, obviously they were all busy going back to edit the news.

Sitting in the empty press room, Benitez asked Rong Guang beside him: "Rong, what do you think? Why did you suddenly throw such a bombshell? Did you see the expressions of those reporters? They were all shocked to think that an earthquake had occurred. Let's not talk about them, I was surprised - I have never heard you mention this."

Rongguang smiled apologetically to Benitez: "Sorry, boss. I thought about it temporarily, and I hadn't had time to communicate with you first. I think you know the situation of the team now, and the team seems to have no motivation."

Benitez nodded. He was really aware of this and had a headache.

"Since you don't have motivation, just find some motivation." Rongguang continued. "Isn't this motivation enough to become the first team to successfully defend the title since the reform of the Champions League?"

Benitez looked at Rongguang in surprise, but he didn't expect Rongguang 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...

Defending the Champions League title... Benitez didn't even dare to think about this before.

But now, Rongguang says this, it seems to be a real solution...

"But you know how difficult it is to defend a champion? Do you think the champions before us don't want to defend the title? But no matter how strong they are, no one has succeeded." Benitez reminded that he was afraid that Glory would not know how difficult it was.

"I know, boss. But when I said I wanted to surpass Arsenal's forty-nine games, many people didn't believe it, thinking it was too difficult and absolutely impossible... What's the result?" Rong Guang shrugged. "You have to try it, it's never possible if you don't try it. Anyway, the words have been said, I think everyone will have a little more motivation now, right?"

Benitez resisted the urge to roll his eyes. If you say something hyped by the media, what will you know...

But it’s hard to say whether there is motivation or not, the pressure must be huge!

After any team won the Champions League, few dared to say that they will definitely defend the Champions League championship next season.

Rongguang said this, as the captain of Manchester City, it means that this is not his own business, but the entire Manchester City business.

Especially myself, if I fail to defend the title in the end, I might take the blame. The player is so strong but I don’t win the championship, it must be the problem of the head coach. I just fire the head coach and get a better deal. So I have to get out of here...

"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? Look at my expression just now? It's completely natural... I was scared by you!"

Rongguang laughed: "Okay, boss, I won't scare you next time!"

That night, the TV station, radio station and the Internet quickly responded to Glory's words.

Rongguang's "bold words" at the press conference were put up, allowing everyone to see or hear how Rongguang answered.

Everyone is talking about the words of Glory and 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 it wrong. What he said should be the 'Defender League title'?"

"Since the 1992 Champions League reform, no team has been able to successfully defend the championship in this event. The competition in the Champions League is very fierce every year. If you are in good condition and have strong strength, it may not be useful. Sometimes you have to rely on a little bit of luck. If these conditions are met, you can reach the finals... This is just a matter of reaching the finals... So many teams have not done, I don't think Manchester City can do this this season. Even if they are powerful, they may not be able to do it. Because it is very simple - they have won the Champions League championship, and their desire for honor is not as strong as before..."

"Although Rong is not like Ibrahimovic who makes trouble for himself in the media every day, he is also a person known for his big mouth. He has made many controversial remarks, which have pushed him to the forefront. This time he has a new work released - at a regular afternoon press conference, he actually said that he would lead the team to defend his title successfully. Although Rong always can do what he says, he seems to have played a bit big this time..."

Another website published a photo like this. The photo was a scene of an afternoon press conference. Rongguang sat on the side, next to Benitez. Rongguang in the photo had a faint smile, but Benitez next to him was not so calm, and he covered his forehead with his hands!

"...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 this at the press conference. Secondly, even Benitez didn't believe that he could do such a thing, which shows that Rong was a bit too much this time... In addition, Benitez's statement also seems to represent something that we don't know very well..."

This website is an allusion to the situation of mutual distrust between Glory and Benitez.

Benitez's movements and expressions naturally revealed were caught by reporters and made a big fuss, so public figures had to learn how to deal with the media, otherwise they would not know how they died...

If there is really no communication between Rongguang and Benitez, or there is a gap between the two, then it may have been successfully provoked.

Soon, not only the English media, but also the entire European media were discussing this matter, of course, most of them opposed and questioned. These people came up with various reasons to explain why they did not choose to believe in glory or support glory, because from many data, it is impossible for Manchester City to complete this task.

"Only God can decide whether Manchester City can successfully defend the Champions League, not honor!" Another media responded to this matter with a very tough attitude.

※※※

And the Manchester City players also knew that Rongguang had already let go of the words in the midst of the hype in the media.

Manchester City will defend the Champions League title this season!

They had already learned about the defending title from Glory, and there was nothing to be surprised about.

However, when the whole of Europe was discussing Manchester City's defense and kept saying that it was absolutely impossible for Manchester City to defend successfully, some Manchester City players felt indignant in their hearts - why did we insist that we could not defend successfully before the Champions League even began?

After all, we were also the champions of the last year. Even if the previous historical data proved that no team could defend the champion, it would be too hurtful to say that.

Despise people so much!

These Manchester City players already have emotions in their hearts. They long to use the Champions League championship at the end of the season to slap these people who swear to look down on Manchester City!

No motivation?

There wasn't before, but now there is!

That's a slap in the face!

Although not all Manchester City players have this feeling of sharing the same hatred, at least some people have it, that's fine.

Glory will not be fighting alone.

Benitez also quickly stood up to support his disciples: "The movement and expression about me in the media is a misunderstanding. I don't want to explain too much. I just want to express one thing - no matter what, 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 Manchester City head coach, Benitez's statement will of course be understood as the official attitude of the entire Manchester City.

Of course, Benitez knew that the road to defending the title would be difficult, but now he had no better way. Support Glory, and join the same boat with Glory, and have a chance to survive. If you don't board the boat, you can die now.

In addition to Benitez, the senior management of Manchester City Club, the club chairman Fasim, also stood up to support Glory: "We are very clear that no team can successfully defend the title after the Champions League reform, but that is history. History does not represent the future. No one in the past does it, and does not mean that no one will do it in the future. We are an ambitious team, and we will do things that have long been sentenced to death by others."

The club chairman and team coach all supported Glory, and soon the first Manchester City player to openly support Glory also stood up.

But this person surprised everyone, because he was not David Silva, who had a good relationship with Glory, nor Sneider, but... Ibrahimovic.

It seems that the Swedish madman who is not very harmonious with Glory!

"I was surprised by the media's fuss. I didn't expect that such a simple thing would be a difficult thing to them. Or I have always had a wrong impression of them. In fact, they are all cowards. What's incredible about defending the Champions League title?"

Although he didn't say a word, "I support Ronggu's that", 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 its sights and want to turn the "big talk" that Glory said into reality!
Chapter completed!
