Chapter 94: Focus Figures
After the game against Chelsea, Manchester City, who played one less game than Chelsea, has already led Chelsea by as much as four points.
They were also slowly caught up by Manchester United, ranked third.
Manchester United now has 34 points, only two points less than Chelsea.
The English media are still talking about the game after the game.
David Silva snatched the limelight of Glory in the game, scoring one goal and one assist, while Glory only had one assist.
So Silva has become the darling of the English media in the past few days. His large photos frequently appear on the front pages of those newspapers, and his goals and performance highlights are broadcast on TV.
Everyone is talking about the player who has been transferred from Valencia this summer.
In fact, David Silva attracted a lot of attention when she first came to Manchester City. Because everyone thought he was a replacement who bought from Valencia after Manchester City failed to buy Kaka.
When Kaka appeared at the Bernabeu Stadium, Manchester City Club also announced the joining of David Silva, which further confirmed everyone's speculation.
Even if Benitez denied this statement, it would be of no use.
However, David Silva was injured in training and missed the team's pre-season training and the start of the league.
At the same time, Robinho is in excellent form. Even if David Silva returns from injury, it will be difficult to steal Robinho's starting position. No head coach can replace a lineup that has been winning all the time and replace a player in excellent form.
So David Silva can only sit on the bench and come on the bench.
It seems that he doesn't look like a "replacer to Kaka" at all.
But now, judging from this game, Robinho's injury seems to be David Silva's chance.
If he can perform well in a row, when Robinho returns from injury, he may face the same problem as David Silva at the time - how to grab the main position from Silva?
In the next game, in the last round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester City will challenge Bayern Munich away. David Silva will continue to start in this game, replacing the injured Robinho.
At the same time, this game is also a test for him.
He wants to prove to everyone that he is not a player who performs well in an occasional game. The most important thing is that he can stabilize his good form.
If you really want to start firmly, you must perform stably.

The English media are still discussing the league between Manchester City and Chelsea. Although the game has ended, everyone is very concerned about the far-reaching impact of the victory or defeat of this game will have on the competition for the league championship this season.
But in Germany, what the media pays most attention to has become the Champions League.
The last match day of the Champions League group stage.
Bayern Munich will face Manchester City at home.
Now Bayern Munich has seven points in the group, temporarily ranking second.
Of course, Manchester City is the first in the group, and now they have accumulated fifteen points - this was something that no one could have thought of before.
Manchester City has already qualified in the group in advance.
Now it is Bayern Munich and Bordeaux competing for the remaining qualifying spot.
Although Bayern Munich ranked second in the group, this is not safe.
They must beat Manchester City at home, otherwise once Bordeaux defeats Real Madrid at home and Bayern Munich loses to Manchester City, they will fly the second place in the league and fly to Bordeaux...
Everyone knows how important this game is. The German media has started to report on this game in succession since the league started, paying attention to the preparations for the two teams for this game, especially Manchester City.
German media are very concerned about Manchester City's attitude towards this game.
Because Manchester City has qualified in the group in advance, they should be without desires. Even if they lose the game in the end, it is normal for everyone to give Bayern Munich a favor.
But now there is a variable, that is glory.
Rongguang once played for Bayern Munich for three seasons, winning three league championships and one Champions League championship. He is Bayern Munich's number one star and an idol admired by countless Bayern Munich fans.
It is logical that his relationship with Bayern Munich was very harmonious, but when Rong Guang finally left Bayern Munich, the relationship between the two sides was not very good.
He and Heness were almost broken up. Although it seemed normal on the surface, their friendship was actually dead in name only.
This complex situation makes people wonder whether Rongguang will kill when facing his old boss.
Although he did not let go when he faced Werder Bremen before, the situation was different. At that time, Werder Bremen's victory against a game was far less urgent than Bayern Munich now.
Even if Werder Bremen lost the game, he would not die.
But if Bayern Munich loses this game, it will be no different from death.
Bayern Munich lost the league championship last season. In order to strengthen the team's strength and regain control of the Dortmund Bundesliga this summer, Bayern Munich recruited soldiers and also dug up a "big killer" like Robben from Real Madrid...
Wouldn't it be too embarrassing if I didn't even make it into the Champions League group stage in the end?
A few weeks ago, Munich's media were laughing at their arch rival Real Madrid for being eliminated from the Champions League group stage early, and now Bayern Munich has also reached the edge of the cliff.
Even if this game is a draw, it is unacceptable for Bayern Munich. They must win.
So will Rongguang take this into consideration and show a little mercy to his former boss?

German media has special reporters tracking and observing Manchester City's preparations in Manchester, and they do not miss every training class, hoping to analyze something from these details.
It really asked them to find something.
They found that Manchester City did not set off for Munich on Monday, but stayed at the Carrington training base in Manchester for training
What does this mean?
"...It seems that Manchester City did not take this last game seriously. Judging from the team's preparations, they did not even come to Munich in advance to make the jet lag and adapt to the venue and the weather. For them, this is just an ordinary away game..."
This is what the reporter from the Munich Evening News said from the report sent back from the front.
"...Manchester City's training content is no different from before. Benitez did not even conduct closed training - this is not the attitude of playing in the Champions League... From this point of view, at least the head coach of Manchester City does not intend to fight Bayern Munich away..."
"This is quite normal. After Manchester City has already qualified as the first in the group in advance, Benitez really has no reason to let the players do their best in an irrelevant game. You should know that Bayern Munich must win this game, so they will definitely have some fierce confrontations in this game. What if they get injured in the game? The Premier League is not like our Bundesliga that has a winter break, and they don't. Moreover, during Christmas and New Year, the schedule is the most intensive. The players' physical fitness is often at a critical point at this time, and it is easy to feel fatigue and easily injured... So no matter from any aspect, Manchester City cannot work too hard in this game..."
On German TV, guests and hosts were also discussing Manchester City's every move.
Judging from this news, Manchester City does not intend to fight Bayern Munich to the death.
But this does not make Bayern Munich fans feel relieved.
Because everyone knows that it may not be the other players of Manchester City who decide the life and death of Bayern Munich, but the glory.
What is Rongguang's attitude towards this game?
This is what everyone cares about the most.
A German reporter interviewed Rongguang in England and wanted to hear his opinion on the game.
"Maybe the boss will make some adjustments, I don't know. This is his business." A scene of Rong Guang on the side of the training ground appeared in the TV screen. He was surrounded by a group of people in the center, and the dense microphone was stretched to his mouth.
German TV viewers, especially Munich, must be familiar with the various signs on the microphone, because they are all logos of German TV stations.
It can be seen that the Germans are paying attention to this game.
"What about you?" A German voice sounded on the TV, and it was a German reporter asking.
"I? I will take every game seriously, not just the next Champions League group stage." Rongguang said.
When many Bayern Munich fans heard Glory say this, they felt a little shocked.
Listening to this... Rong is not planning to show mercy?
That's really bad news
"... Some people may think that Rong is a professional player. But if I want to say that he is simply a loner and widowed man. When he was in Bayern Munich, Bayern Munich club was so nice to him, and Heness was also his mentor. What's the result? After leaving Bayern Munich, he didn't even mention Bayern Munich's goodness again. Isn't it normal for such a person to kill in this game? So let go of his bored fantasy about Rong, he is no longer the hero in your mind. Now he is a traitor who brings his enemies to slaughter Bayern Munich."
Since Glory left Bayern Munich, Timo Brauer, a professional guy with black glory, has not mentioned Glory's name for a long time.
But at the critical moment of life and death in Bayern Munich, he came out again and wrote an article on social networks to criticize Glory as a hypocrite.
Reprimanding Glory like this can only make him angry, which shows that he is guilty and that he is afraid that Glory will perform well in the game against Bayern Munich, so he first takes out a moral stick to suppress Glory.
However, his fierce criticism did not attract much popularity to him. Even Bayern Munich fans don’t really care about this freelance journalist who specializes in black glory.
His mistakes can only prove to others that he is an idiot...

E, I’m sorry to inform everyone, because I live at home during the Spring Festival, relatives come to my family and live at home, so I’m very busy…
I originally thought that there would be updates for two chapters every day, but now it seems that I am really optimistic...
Can you imagine there are two naughty kids in the study? I basically have no way to calm down and write...
And I just moved to a new home, and now there are no elderly people at home to help take care of the children, so I have to rely on myself for life.
I don’t have much time, and after my relatives came, I lived at my house and took a child over three years old... I couldn’t write it when I was at home, so I had to take them everywhere to play, so I really didn’t have time to write.
So from now on, until they leave, I can only update one chapter...
I'm so sorry
Chapter completed!
