As Billy Davis feared, when the game restarted, the Nottingham Forest players had lost their fighting spirit and they didn't know how to face such a strong opponent.

Although there is still half a game, Nottingham Forest players are no longer interested in fighting.

In the second half, Rong Guang assisted Berbatov again to score a goal.

After he broke in, he attracted almost all Nottingham Forest players and then passed the football to the middle.

Berbatov, who followed up in the middle, shoveled the football into the net under the close disturbance of a Nottingham Forest player.

He scored twice in this game

Berbatov's goal was considered to be a victory. With less than twenty minutes left in the game, Manchester City led by three goals, and Nottingham Forest was ineffective in any case.

This time, cheers for Berbatov finally rang out in the stands. Although it was not a big deal, it was a good start for Berbatov. As a center, it was actually very simple to win the support of fans, which was to keep scoring goals. No matter how difficult the ball was, as long as he could score, fans would accept him sooner or later.

Robinho did not make it to the roster in this game, but because it was a home game, he still had to watch the game on the spot according to the team's rules.

Now he and other players who are not listed on the roster are sitting in a special area in the stands, and his teammates are cheering for the team to secure the victory.

He just clapped his face symbolically.

His eyes were all on Berbatov.

He could see clearly the changes in fans' attitude towards Berbatov in this game.

Listening to the cheers, watching Berbatov hugging Glory, Robinho sitting in the stands was a bit of a complicated emotion that could not be said...

Maybe I should have scored the goal...

The game ended with a score of B0. Nottingham Forest, who was confident to defeat Manchester City, was eliminated before the game.

Manchester City broke into the fourth round of the FA Cup.

At the post-match press conference, Benitez was satisfied with the team's performance.

Berbatov thanked Rong Guang in an interview: "Rong is the core of the team, and there is no doubt that he showed his core side well in the game. I still have the previous opinion, and being able to fight side by side with Rong and compete for honor, which is why I came to Manchester City."

When he was always criticized before, he no longer mentioned this statement. However, after scoring twice, he took this matter out again, and it can be seen that he is indeed full of confidence in his future in the team and his future.

The glory of assisting twice expressed his ambitions: "This is just the beginning, we will definitely find a way to continue winning."

After the game, local media in Manchester were also reporting on the game, and Rongguang and Berbatov became the focus of everyone's attention.

As for Robinho... no one mentioned it.

The victory over Nottingham Forest also gave Manchester City players more confidence in the team, especially their head coach. Although Benitez doesn't speak very well, he is indeed knowledgeable. His tactics only lasted half a week to train, and the players felt something different in the game than before.

The players have clear minds and are more confident when playing during the game.

These changes are what players can feel the most.

So even if someone still dissatisfied with the way and tone of Benitez, he felt that the coach was well-informed and was willing to listen to his style.

After the game, the team's training attitude became much more positive, and everyone saw hope of turning around.

No one wants to go to the Championship this season. If the new head coach has the ability to lead them out of the quagmire, why not follow him?

Everyone was training enthusiastically, and even Robinho's training attitude was much more serious than before.

Assistant coach Mark Bowen was surprised when he saw this scene.

But Benitez didn't seem surprised.

He believed that Robinho would definitely not be able to sit still after seeing Berbatov's two goals.

Two goals

They are all offensive players, and they have a sense of competition. What they compete for is not the opportunity to play, but the performance after the competition. Rongguang, Robinho and Berbatov are the top three players in the team this summer, and they will definitely compete with each other. Robinho cannot compete for glory, but he can compete with Berbatov, so after seeing Berbatov's outstanding performance, he naturally cannot remain indifferent.

Robinho's changes made Benitez confirm that Glory is a "leader" who can drive his teammates to work hard with him. He doesn't need to say many passionate and bold words. He just needs to do it silently and let others do it with him.

He assisted Berbatov in the game and scored two goals that played the same role as his hard work in training.

Robinho is a man who doesn't accept anyone in the team, but he accepts Glory. Then let Glory be his role model.

After one week of training, the team's understanding of Benitez's tactics became deeper and the tacit understanding in cooperation became deeper and deeper.

The changes in the team are obvious and can be seen by everyone.

Of course, fans and media don’t know yet, but the players all think that perhaps Benitez is really the most suitable head coach for them…

In the 21st round of the league, Manchester City challenged Portsmouth away.

Compared with the FA Cup, the league is the most important thing.

Let’s not talk about the value of the FA Cup nowadays, but the strength of the team is a team that struggles to relegate in the English Championship, no matter how much it is, it is not as good as a team that ranks in the middle of the Premier League?

In terms of ranking, Portsmouth is even higher than Manchester City. Manchester City ranks fifteenth, while Portsmouth ranks twelfth. In terms of points, Portsmouth has three more points than Manchester City.

In the league, Manchester City has lost eleven consecutive rounds, and they played twenty rounds of the league. They have not won eight away games, only winning two away games, and their performance is very bad on the away game.

These all constitute a test for Manchester City.

After winning the FA Cup, everyone turned their attention to the league and wanted to see what kind of performance this Manchester City will do in the league.

Before this game, Benitez announced the starting list of this game, and Robinho finally returned to the starting list because his attitude in training was much better than before.

Benitez said that he should do it. Choosing a person only depends on the training attitude and status, not on fame, not on the value and weekly salary.

However, when the media saw that Robinho reappeared on the starting lineup, they had something to say.

"In the last FA Cup game, Robinho did not start. According to well-informed people, it should be because he was not serious in training, which angered Benitez. Manchester City, who was not Robinho, played very beautifully and beat Nottingham Forest three goals at home... I think this is actually good. Manchester City doesn't need Robinho to win the game. In fact, I haven't figured out why Manchester City clubs signed Robinho and have Rong, Petrov and Sean Wright Phillips, why do they still need such a player on the wing?"

"After Robinho joined Manchester City, he received a weekly salary of more than 90,000 pounds after tax, and left the deepest impression on us was the scene of missing shots twice in one game... Who said that it is more difficult than scoring a ball? Robinho proved to us that this statement is wrong."

"The former bicycle boy was favored by the king of football, Bailey believed that his achievements would be higher than himself. Now it seems that Bailey's crow mouth was not only reflected in predicting the victory or defeat of the game, but also his vision of looking at people..."

The English media said Robinho very viciously.

They made fun of Robinho, and they have not been less than in the past half season. They also gave Robinho a nickname, which translates into Chinese as "the empty gate will not enter the emperor."

When the team's performance is not good, his meme that he doesn't enter the empty gate will be repeatedly told at the price. Some netizens even made a video to upload it to vutube. The name of the video is "Robinho Manchester City's wonderful performance highlights". After opening it, you will see one picture after another without entering the empty gate, and it will be played repeatedly...

In fact, to be honest, Robinho's empty goal is definitely not as much as everyone has promoted. He only had three empty goal attempts, including two of them, but that was a terrible one. Robinho's luck in that game was so bad...

But now let everyone say this, it seems that as long as Robinho is an empty gate, he will not enter...

Robinho once protested this matter, but he still did not say anything, so over time he would not say anything…

In opposition to public opinion, you cannot win.

He has now been labeled as "no entry in the empty door", and he can't even wash it even if he jumps into the Atlantic Ocean.

Before this game, his empty goal was turned out and hyped up again.

Even... some people were maliciously waiting to see Robinho fail to enter the empty goal again in the game - in this regard, some bookmakers offered the odds that Robinho failed to enter the empty goal in this game for everyone to place bets. Judging from the betting situation, the lottery players are very enthusiastic...

How could Robinho not know about these situations?

If it were before, he would have been numb. But after seeing Berbatov's double score in the FA Cup, he had an idea and was unwilling to continue to be so dark.
