Chapter 60 It's Just a Ball
Alan Hansen's view is correct, and even Manchester City fans are not very excited about this goal.
Especially the person who scored the goal was Berbatov. Their cheers were not very enthusiastic, which was completely different from the performance after Rong Guang scored. If the ball was Rong Guang scored, then their cheers would be much louder.
Manchester City fans have always had resentment towards Berbatov.
And this resentment became deeper and deeper as Berbatov performed poorly.
He has been joining Manchester City for half a season and has started almost every game, but so far he has only scored four league goals. As the main center who spent 20 million pounds to Manchester City this summer, this performance is really unreasonable...
So the media has been criticizing him.
When Berbatov joined Manchester City, there was an episode where Manchester City fans went to protest his joining. Now his performance has made Manchester City fans believe that this person is here to cheat money.
Moreover, even cheating money is so unprofessional, which is even more unhappy.
Manchester City fans have many fans of Berbatov. Jokes related to Berbatov have also been born online during this period.
They really have no good feelings for Berbatov.
Even if Berbatov scored now, they weren't very excited.
It will probably take time to change their view of Berbatov. The most important thing is... they are not sure if this goal was an accidental performance. If the state cannot continue, then what is the use of this goal?
Another reason why Manchester City fans are frigid in response has something to do with the team.
Manchester City took too many leads in the first half of the season, but in the end they still allowed the opponent to equalize or reverse.
After many such experiences, Manchester City fans were also scared. The game was not over, so they dared not cheer too early, otherwise they would waste their expressions.
The first half had only started twenty minutes. Do you dare to say that you were sure to win if you took the lead with one goal?
Let's wait until the game is over before seeing the results...

"After Manchester City scored a goal, the atmosphere on the court did not seem to have improved..." Chinese reporters were talking in the media seat.
"Of course, a goal can't explain any problem. If you dare to say that Manchester City can win now, they will dare to slap you in the face..." said the colleague next to you. "I have seen this too many times. The biggest feature of Manchester City's performance this season is instability. They can beat Liverpool in B2 or lose 2 at home to Tottenham Hotspur..."
"Oh, it's really miserable. Even though he scored the goal, his fans dare not celebrate. Is Manchester City's problem so serious now?"
"Who said no? No matter how strong a person is, it is not enough. Manchester City has a lot of problems and is very deep... Although Rong Guang earns the highest salary in the world, now it seems that it is better to stay in Bayern Munich..."
"Don't talk nonsense, what's the best thing about staying in Bayern Munich? Bayern Munich clearly doesn't want to keep him. I hope he goes to Manchester United or Chelsea..."
"I think so, but when Chelsea and Manchester United heard that Glory broke their legs, they immediately became timid... It's too unkind."
"Oh, the one I have the most resentment is Barcelona... It is said that Rongguang and Barcelona were almost signed. If he went to Barcelona and had an attack line formed by Messi... how terrifying would it be?"
A group of reporters sighed, and those who didn't know thought that Manchester City was going to lose again.
But we can't blame the reporters for pouring cold water. It can only be said that Manchester City itself defeated all the "strong team" they established in the transfer market in the first half of the season. Originally, Manchester City attacked everywhere in the transfer market, dug up glory from Bayern Munich, snatched Berbatov from Manchester United, and competed with Chelsea to win Robinho. My personal feeling is that a strong team that has always been ambitious is taking shape. In the early stages of the league, many teams believed that Manchester City could shake the status of the traditional semi-finals of the Premier League this season.
But a series of failures and invincibility made everyone realize that Manchester City was just a paper tiger.
In addition, the recent eleven rounds of unwinds have made everyone sigh when they mention Manchester City, which has become a conditioned reflex.

Fans and media responded calmly to Manchester City's lead, but Benitez was happy.
After Berbatov scored, he jumped out of his seat, shouted, and then hugged his assistant Mark Bowen.
The excitement felt as if Manchester City had won the game instead of just leading one goal...
In the first ten minutes of the game, he also thought that Rong Guang had to come by himself, because Rong Guang had always come by himself in the first ten minutes of the game.
He still seemed to carry the entire team on his shoulders.
Didn't your own words work?
He frowned, this was troublesome...
But now when he saw this ball, he realized that the glory was really different from before.
Benitez believed in the ball just now, and even if all the Nottingham Forest players surrounded him, he could shoot the ball out of the cracks and have a high goal rate.
It is not easy for Europe's top defensive players to keep their glory, let alone the Nottingham Forest players.
Therefore, no one can stop him from shooting.
But in this situation, he suddenly passed the ball. He gave up his chance to score and passed the ball to Berbatov, who had a better chance than him...
This is a typical teammate who trusts oneself.
He is trying to share the responsibility with his teammates. This is not evasion of responsibility. It is called learning to be a qualified leader...
In Benitez's heart, he hopes that Rong Guang will be the leader of this team, not only the core of tactics, but also the person who can lead this team. This does not require him to wear the captain's armband, but he must have the awareness of being a leader.
Now seeing the transformation of glory, he has more expectations for his future coaching in this team.
Since the Abu Dhabi consortium took over, Manchester City has bought many powerful players, but it can never be called a "team". This is Benitez's view, he believes that Manchester City just gathers a large group of players and then selects eleven people to play.
This is not considered a whole, so why are you talking about combat effectiveness?
To make the team a real whole, you must have a key core, which can attract everyone firmly, and it must be a glue.
In Benitez's view, no one can do this role except glory.
First of all, Rongguang's super personal ability and the honors he has won made other Manchester City players convince. Many of the players in this team are very proud. They make a lot of money and their strength is not bad. It is rare to make them convince others from the bottom of their hearts. It would be good if they don't look down on each other. But they must be convinced by Rongguang - Rongguang is a well-deserved number one star in both annual salary and value. Moreover, who has won the World Footballer and the European Golden Ball Award?
On the other hand, Rong Guang always has a strong sense of responsibility. It can be felt by him gritting his teeth and carrying Manchester City on his shoulders and playing for half a season. Rong Guang is a person with a strong sense of responsibility, and he is also very hard in training, which can be something that drives the whole team.
Robinho is also very capable, has a high net worth and is very famous, but he has no sense of responsibility and is unwilling to take responsibility. His attitude towards training and competition is not very correct. He expects such a person to lead the team? Don't even think about it...
As for Berbatov's performance in this ball, he was also very satisfied. Perhaps some people may think that there was no one around to defend it at that time, so it would be very easy to get in the ball.
But in fact, there was no easy goal in the game. Look at Robinho, he had never been able to score the ball in the empty goal. Not to mention Berbatov's goal, it actually tests basic skills.
He kept the ball and shot directly against the football, controlling the arc and height of the football very well. Many players easily pushed the football directly higher when facing such a ball, but Berbatov did not. His skills were done very well.
Benitez was very satisfied with Berbatov's condition.
As long as Berbatov can continue in this state, he believes that the Bulgarian shooter will definitely usher in an explosion.
At that time, he will definitely change the fans' views and attitudes towards him.

As Benitez hugged and celebrated with assistant coach Mark Bowen, Billy Daves was not upset about the team's concealment.
He seemed very calm.
What's wrong with just losing a ball?
This situation was considered in his original plan.
After all, this is at Manchester City's home court, and Manchester City is a Premier League team after all. Although the ranking is almost falling into the relegation zone now... But the lean camel is bigger than a horse. How could he not score a goal at his home court?
Billy Davis did not intend to eliminate Manchester City in this game directly from the beginning, but instead planned to draw Manchester City in the first leg. Then according to the rules of the FA Cup, the two sides will play another game after the draw, this time at Nottingham Forest.
If Manchester City fails to win in the first round, they will fall into media criticism and fans' scolding, which will greatly affect their morale and confidence. They will begin to doubt themselves, so how can they have the heart to play in the second round?
At that time, Nottingham Forest, which has the advantage of the home court, will completely defeat Manchester City, which is like a stray dog.
So while Manchester City players were celebrating the goal, he quickly called his players and made arrangements.
Although I lost the ball, I should not attack rashly within ten minutes of the loss. At this time, the chance of equalizing the score is very small. It is possible that after the attack, Rongguang will use his speed to expand the advantage of leading the score again.
In that case, Nottingham Forest will be in trouble.
It just lost a goal. Judging from past experience in the game, Manchester City has been leading the game, but in the end it was still unable to win the game. There is still time now, so there is no need to panic and attack the whole line.
Rongguang assisted Berbatov, which was certainly something that many people did not expect, but it was not too shocking.
After explaining, he returned to his coaching seat.
He looked up at the stands. The stands at Manchester City Stadium were relatively calm, making people feel that this was the situation after scoring the goal. If it was at the home court of other teams, if the home team scored the goal, the stadium would definitely be like a volcano erupting.
But now, Manchester City fans are quiet.
Look, that's why I dare to eliminate Manchester City - their own people don't believe their team can win
It's so sad
