"The FA Cup is the only game that has the potential to win the championship, and I don't want to give up this opportunity."

Hearing Glory say this, Berbatov realizes that this is his opportunity.

Why did he come to Manchester City?

Apart from making money, isn’t it to win the championship with Glory?

There is no hope for the League Cup and the League, now there is a FA Cup... Rongguang doesn't want to give up, nor does he want to let go of it.

Thinking of this, Berbatov walked out of the team and stood beside Rong Guang.

"I don't give up either," he said.

Berbatov stood up and surprised the coaches of the Manchester City coaching staff opposite - there was actually someone who supported Glory, and the person who supported Glory was Berbatov.

In Manchester City's team, the players also looked at the two people with complicated eyes, and some of them were whispering.

As a compatriot of Rongguang, Sun Hai did not discuss with anyone. He walked out of the team and stood next to Rongguang: "I am willing to do my part to compete for the championship."

With these two people taking the lead, more and more players walked out of the team and stood by and behind Glory.

Some say some are silent.

But everyone voted with their feet and expressed their wishes.

They are all willing to fight side by side with Glory, even if it will consume more energy and increase their risk of injury in the game.

But when the team's performance is not good, Rongguang never worried about his possible injury, nor did he say he should maintain his strength.

Now that he wants to win a championship for the team, how can we stand by and watch?

As Benitez said, we cannot be dragged by glory. We can also help him

The coaches of the coaching staff were all surprised. Letting the substitute lineup play in this game will make the game look like it. This is the collective decision of the coaching staff.

Unexpectedly, the players would disagree...

They looked at head coach Benitez.

He is the one who makes the decision.

Benitez looked at the players standing behind Glory and beside him. He was also a little surprised at first, but now he realized that this was the scene he wanted to see?

He has always hoped that Rongguang will become a leader who can lead the team forward, but the leader is not something you can do just by letting him do it, nor is it that anyone who wants to be it. The leader must be able to convince the public and make everyone willing to follow you.

When you want to do something, everyone will support you, and that is the leader.

Now, when Rongguang said that he didn't want to give up and wanted to compete for the FA Cup championship, the players all stood up and expressed their support to him... Although he had not put on the captain's armband, he was already the leader of this team and deserved it.

If that's the case, how can I pour cold water on them?

So he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's put the FA Cup championship in the target."

Hearing the head coach say this, the players cheered, as if they had won in a confrontation with the coach.

Sun Hai patted Rong Guang's shoulder hard, and the shoulders he had photographed were sank a little.

"Did you feel the weight?" Sun Hai asked with a smile and a little surprised glory. "If you say it, you have to do it. Now you really have to take us to win this championship."

Rongguang smiled: "Can it still be fake? I will definitely do what I said. No matter how difficult this FA Cup champion is, I must be at ease. Brother Sun, I will not disappoint you all."

"You really have to agree with them?" Assistant coach Mark Bowen still found it incredible when he returned to Benitez's office.

Give up the FA Cup, which was originally proposed by Benitez, and then he convinced all the coaching staff members to become one of the team's strategies.

But now he overturned his previous plan.

"Why not?" Benitez said.

"But you said before that you were worried that you would consume too much physical strength in the FA Cup and make the players more vulnerable to injury. You also said..."

"In the final sprint for the top four in the league, there was no way to go. Yes, I said that, but Mark, now we have a good opportunity and I think we should catch it," Benitez said.

“What opportunity?”

"If a team wants to become stronger, it must not simply rely on building up famous stars to achieve it. This team must have combat effectiveness. First of all, they must be a group and are willing to work together for a goal. I saw this today. The players of the team stood up to support Rong, and everyone was united.

Benitez continued: "Secondly, this team needs to have a champion heart."

"Champion's heart?"

"Yes, it means having a heart that dares to compete for the championship, not just want the championship. I want the championship, and I must win the championship, these are two concepts. Rong and his teammates showed us their determination today. I hope to give them a chance to prove that they are capable of winning the championship. A strong team was trained in the process of competing for the championship. Manchester City lacked such opportunities before, so such opportunities are precious. I made a mistake before." Benitez admitted, "I just wanted to compete for fourth place in the league, but gave up this opportunity, completely ignoring the blow to the team's belief... Fortunately, we have Rong. He reminded me that when we have the opportunity to compete for the championship, then don't give up this opportunity."

Mark Bowen was stunned when he heard this, and he recalled the scene he had just been on the training ground.

The scene where players came out one by one, standing behind Rong Guang and beside him... In the end, Rong Guang's side had become a team, and he was like a magnet, attracting other players to move closer to him and surround him in the middle.

That scene...it really impressed him

"...We did a random street interview, and many Manchester City fans were not interested in the next FA Cup semi-finals. They would rather play the league quickly. They were very dissatisfied with the FA Cup semi-finals before the next round of the league. I think I can understand the complaints of Manchester City fans. After all, the competition for the fourth place in the league has reached a white-hot stage, and everyone's hearts have been hung up. This is like a wonderful and exciting movie, which is at the most critical moment, but suddenly a half-hour advertisement is inserted..."

"It is said that Benitez has planned to give up the FA Cup semi-finals with Chelsea. In the team's training, many substitutes wear yellow vests that symbolize the main starting lineup... This choice is correct. Benitez was not overwhelmed by the current good situation. At such a critical moment, Manchester City really does not need to spend all their extra experiences in the FA Cup semi-finals... Why did they make efforts in the FA Cup before? Isn't it just to get the League Cup qualification? But now they have the opportunity to compete for the Champions League qualification, so why do they still need to compete for the League Cup qualification?"

Before this FA Cup semi-finals, the media reported that Benitez asked the substitute players to wear yellow vests, and the powerful media directly exposed photos, including pictures and truth, making their analysis and judgment more convincing.

Based on the confidence of all parties, it seems that Manchester City has given up this FA Cup semi-finals.

This is good news for Chelsea.

After losing to Manchester City at home 0l in the league, Hiddink was under tremendous pressure, and many people criticized his tactical choices in that game.

So Hiddink needs a chance to take revenge, and secondly, with the hope of competing for the league championship becoming increasingly slim, he also needs a championship to prove himself.

The FA Cup championship is his last chance.

If Manchester City really doesn't have the FA Cup, Chelsea will be much easier.

※※※

But what disappointed Hiddink very much was that... two hours before the start of this game, the media announced the starting list of Manchester City, and almost all the main players started.

In addition to some fine-tunings made in a few positions, the main parts maintained the previous lineup.

It can be said that this Manchester City is the strongest lineup.

This is completely different from the speculations made by the media before the game...

It is conceivable what Manchester City thinks about using this lineup to play the semi-finals. Unlike the media predicted, they will definitely not want to give up this game.

Hiddink was also stunned when he saw this starting list.

Then his first reaction was that Benitez was playing tricks again

He had asked the substitute players to wear yellow vests before, which must have been to confuse himself.

But Hiddink really wronged Benitez...

Benitez really planned to give up this game at the beginning...

It was just that I changed my mind temporarily later.

This result made Hiddink a little busy.

He did not say that he believed in the media's one-sided words, but that the results he analyzed through his own experience were exactly the same as those analyzed by the media. How could a coach like him let the media influence his ideas? He also believed that it was impossible for Manchester City to do his best in this game.

He really didn't expect that Manchester City would even invest in the main lineup in the FA Cup semi-finals. They were not afraid of any accidents in the game that would affect their performance in the league?

At this time, can't Benitez still tell which one is more important?

What did he think?

Can the FA Cup champion be more qualified for the Champions League?

Even if Manchester City finally won the FA Cup championship, so what?

Hiddink was puzzled and could not understand why Benitez made such a decision no matter what.

But no matter whether he can figure it out or not, he must now face Manchester City, where he can do his best.
