Chapter 68 Preparing for Real Madrid(1/2)
For the next half week, Rongguang and his inverted hook ball were still the focus of everyone's attention.
From Britain to other countries.
France, Germany, Spain, Italy... other countries are talking about goals in glory.
Many people even think that Glory has returned to his position before his injury - he is the best football player in the world.
This will naturally make some people unhappy - where do you put us Messi?
Barcelona is the most powerful team in European football today, Dream Three
As the core of this team, Messi is naturally the most powerful player in Europe and even the world.
Just like Messi achieved his first position by defeating Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United, if Glory wants to regain his glory, then he must first defeat Messi...
However, these people also admit that even if glory is not the world's number one, it is also the second in the world, and is even stronger than Cristiano Ronaldo - Messi's fans always dislike Cristiano Ronaldo the most.
Considering that Rong Guang and Messi have a good personal relationship, Messi's fans also have extra gratitude, allowing Rong Guang to be behind Messi.
※※※
Rongguang doesn't care whether he ranks first or second now.
He didn't care whether he had returned to the peak at all. Because he was not going to return to the peak at all, he wanted to continue writing the legend.
He defeated Manchester United in the Premier League and his inverted hook ball made everyone talk about it for a long time, but he didn't care about it the next day.
He started his training again
In preparation for the next seventh round of the league, Manchester City will face West Ham United at home.
Next is the second game of the Champions League group stage, with Manchester City challenging Bordeaux away.
If Manchester City can beat Bordeaux, they will win two consecutive victories and will have a good spot in the group stage.
After all, Bordeaux is Manchester City's safest goal grabbing targets. It is still difficult to beat Bayern Munich and Real Madrid away, but playing against Bordeaux... Manchester City players are confident of defeating them at home and away.
If we can't score all six points on Bordeaux, it will be difficult for Manchester City to qualify from this group.
After playing Bordeaux, Manchester City will have a back-to-back match against Real Madrid in the group stage.
This is the battle of revenge between Sneider and Robinho.
It is also the two key games that Manchester City has appeared.
If Manchester City can win at least one of the games, it will be very beneficial for their qualifying situation.

Next, Manchester City beat West Ham United at home in the league.
In the mid-week Champions League group stage, Manchester City, who went away, defeated Bordeaux 20 net.
They won two straight wins in the group stage.
This game proves that Manchester City's last defeat of Bayern Munich was not a lucky one, and proves what Benitez said after the last game against Bayern Munich, that this Manchester City is indeed a strong team.
At least, in this group, they are no longer the fourth-level team
And in this game against Bordeaux, Rong Guang scored a goal.
There were goals in two consecutive group matches.
This makes people vaguely see his style when he won the Champions League top scorer and best striker for three consecutive years...
After returning from France, Benitez adjusted and rotated the team's starting lineup and replaced most of the main players.
Manchester City also shook hands and made peace in the away game in the eighth round of the league.
Rong Guang scored the only goal for the team, avoiding the misfortune of Manchester City's away loss...
In the next ninth round of the league, Manchester City will still play away, and the opponent is Wigan Athletics.
In this game, Manchester City played all the main players.
They beat Wigan Athletic 40 away.
Although Wigan played tenaciously, Manchester City was obviously better at it.
Under the leadership of Sneider and Glory, the team completely controlled the situation on the court.
In the end, Sneider scored twice, with Rong Guang and Robinho each scoring one goal.
In the 67 minutes of the game, Benitez replaced Sneijder. He was worried that the Wigan Athletics players would be angry and angry when they lost the big score. They were too big and injured Manchester City players.
As a result, Sneider was still a little unhappy when he was about to leave. He didn't even communicate with Benitez and went straight back to the locker room.
This attracted everyone's attention at the time of the competition.
The media all felt very strange - I had never heard of Sneider and Benitez's disagreement before?
This is not the first time Sneijder has been replaced in the game. Why is he so fucked by being replaced early this time?
Generals lost peace?
Before the Champions League group stage with Real Madrid is about to usher in, this conflict is exposed...that's big news
The reporters were immediately excited and all of them were thinking about the various big fights.
As a result, their vision was shattered after the game ended.
After the game, Sneider was interviewed by reporters in the mixed zone. When asked why he performed after being substituted, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I am really a little unhappy about being replaced early. That's because I long for a better performance in the game, but the boss has his own ideas. He hopes that I can perform well in the next Champions League. I think he did the right thing, and I can't have any surprises before the game against Real Madrid. There is no conflict between me and the boss, and I'm sorry to let you down."
A group of reporters looked at each other...
They did not doubt what Sneider said was false, because they all reacted.
The next game is Manchester City's Champions League group stage against Real Madrid
This game is of course of great significance to Sneijder.
This summer, Sneijder was planning to stay in Real Madrid to prove himself, but Real Madrid was determined to sell him.
Even though he was willing to tear him apart, Real Madrid did not sign up for Sneijder at all, deprived him of his jersey number, saying that if Sneijd didn't leave, he would let him rot in the audience.
In the end, they forced Sneider away as they wished.
But the relationship between the two sides was completely broken.
So this game is simply the best chance to revenge for Sneder.
After coming to Manchester City, he performed well and quickly became the core of Manchester City's organization.
He is going to lead Manchester City to defeat Real Madrid, proving how stupid it was to let him go deliberately.
So in order to prepare for the game against Real Madrid with peace of mind, Sneider must be replaced in advance. On the one hand, he will rest, and on the other hand, he will avoid injury. If he is injured before the game against Real Madrid, it will be a major loss for Manchester City and Sneider himself.
After thinking through this, you will understand that Sneider cannot blame the head coach for being replaced in advance, and he has any dissatisfaction with Benitez.
He did not perform well at the time, but he had not yet come back to his senses. Now that he calmed down in the locker room, he figured out the joints, so he naturally would not complain about Benitez.
Sure enough, at the post-match press conference, Benitez also denied that he and Sneider had any conflicts.
"I replaced Sneider in advance because we have an important Champions League group stage in the next mid-week. I have to prepare in advance. Sneider needs more rest time..."
Benitez answered the reporters' questions lightly.
The players and coaches said this, what else can reporters hype?
They can only hype Sneijder and Real Madrid's love and hatred...

After playing against Wigan Athletics, the league also held nine rounds.
After nine rounds of league matches, the top ranking in the league is currently... Manchester City.
And Manchester City's result is one game less
This shows how powerful Manchester City is now.
Those who still think that Manchester City is the weak, the information lags behind for unknown reasons...
The effect of transfer signings this summer is very obvious. Benitez's targeted signings have enhanced the team's strength and made up for the team's shortcomings.
After the start of the league, Manchester City has not lost yet, and they are also the only team in the league that has not lost.
They won seven wins and one draw in less than one game.
Arsenal ranked second, and they scored 21 points.
Chelsea also scored 21 points, and they ranked third.
Manchester United ranked fourth with 19 points, while Tottenham ranked fifth with 19 points.
Judging from this ranking, at least in England, Manchester City has become a force that cannot be ignored.
Even if they can maintain this momentum, it is not impossible to compete with traditional tycoons for the league championship in the end...

After playing against Wigan Athletics, Manchester City began preparing for training for Real Madrid
In both games in a row, they were in a back-to-back match.
To be continued...
