Chapter 1101 The Rise of New Forces
For Chelsea, the No. 12 round of the league is a great opportunity to narrow the points gap between them and Manchester City.

Because in this round of the league, Manchester City will welcome their rivals in the same city at home-Manchester United!
If Manchester United can draw in the away game, or even beat Manchester City, Chelsea can win their opponent Fulham again, and they can catch up with Manchester City again.

However, to the disappointment of the whole Chelsea team, Ferguson's Manchester United was not able to stop Manchester City's progress in the away game.

Rong Guang and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are in good form, plus David Silva and Sneijder, Manchester City scored three goals in this game.

Rong Guang, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Sneijder each have one.

Of course, Manchester United also scored two goals, Klose scored twice, but unfortunately his outstanding performance did not help Manchester United win the away game.

Since Rong Guang joined Manchester City in the 2008-2009 season, Manchester United has only won one game against Manchester City. That game was still due to Rong Guang's absence due to injury, and Manchester City was in a bad state at the time.

Since then, Manchester United has never been able to beat Manchester City.

For Ferguson, this is naturally intolerable.

In the past, he only regarded Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea as his sworn enemies, and he never cared about his rivals in the same city.

But now he must re-examine his rivals in the same city and raise Manchester City's threat level to the first place.

Liverpool is finished, Arsenal has not won the championship for many years, and all their thoughts are competing for the top four in the league. Since Mourinho left, Chelsea's performance has not been stable enough, but in general, Chelsea is still the biggest threat to Manchester United.

In the league, Chelsea have been able to compete with Manchester United in recent years.The league title is basically only produced between Manchester United and Chelsea.

But when Manchester City was born, everything changed.

With Manchester United's poor performance last season, Chelsea would have hoped to win the title, and their performance that season was also very good.But in the end it was Manchester City who won the championship.

Manchester United had a poor start this season, Chelsea led the way, but now the number one position in the league has changed hands, Manchester City has become the first, Chelsea and Manchester United are ranked second and third.

If Manchester United wants to regain the supremacy of the league, it is not Chelsea, but Manchester City that should be most wary.

After defeating Manchester United 3:2 at home, Manchester City still leads the league standings with a four-point advantage.

In the next No.13 round, Manchester City's winning streak was terminated, perhaps because the team fought too hard with Manchester United last weekend, which caused the team to be a little too excited, but now it is a slack period after that.

In short, Manchester City was not very excited when they faced Birmingham at home.

In the end they were tied 0:0 by Birmingham.

But this time their luck is really good enough. When they failed to win, Manchester United, the third in the league, shook hands with Aston Villa 2:2 in the away game.

Chelsea, the second in the league, simply lost to Sunderland 0:3 at home.And Chelsea suffered far more than that.In this game, Chelsea not only lost the ball, but Ballack, the absolute core of the midfielder, was also seriously injured in the game.Chelsea announced after the match that Ballack would be out for at least four months...

On the way to compete with Manchester City for the league championship, the team's absolute midfield core was injured, and Chelsea's combat effectiveness was greatly reduced in an instant.

In this way, Manchester City continued to lead the league standings. They led Chelsea by five points, Manchester United by eight points, and Arsenal by seven points.

Manchester United's performance has not been very good for more than a season. Since Cristiano Ronaldo left them and went to Real Madrid, Manchester United seems to have lost its backbone.

There is no core at all on the field.

Ferguson is taking time to build Rooney into a new core, but the whole team still needs time to adapt to Rooney's new core. In addition, Rooney's performance is not as stable as that of Cristiano Ronaldo.

All of these have caused Manchester United's current performance to fluctuate.

Some media even claim that the Premier League has completely entered the era of Manchester City, and the old Premier League powerhouses represented by Manchester United, Liverpool, and Arsenal will gradually withdraw from the competition stage.

After playing the league, Rong Guang and his teammates left the club one after another. This time he returned to China with Sun Hai.

He will represent the Chinese national team in the warm-up match on November [-]. The Chinese team's opponent is the European team Latvia.

This team was found to simulate the Chinese team's opponent Uzbekistan in the group stage.

Both Latvia and Uzbekistan are teams from the former Soviet Union, so they are somewhat similar in style of play.

This warm-up opponent can be regarded as targeted.

Because of the previous two successful experiences against Syria and Uruguay, what Chinese fans are most looking forward to now is to represent the Chinese team.

Even if it is a warm-up match, they will put in a lot of enthusiasm.

After the first two warm-up matches, some Chinese media expressed emotion: "...Don't say that Chinese football is uninterested, don't say that Chinese football is not loved by grandma and uncle. It's just that we haven't found the right way before. Now that we have mastered the correct way to open it, Chinese football will show you in front of you with another completely different face..."

"...The enthusiasm of the Chinese fans surprised us, because this is definitely not the Chinese fans in our impression. The Chinese fans in our impression are a group of people who secretly watch the national team's game with the curtains drawn, and they are ashamed to admit it. The Chinese fans in our impression are a group of people who hate iron and iron to make fun of the national football. The Chinese fans in our impression are a group of people shouting 'Football Association is disbanded' in the stands of BJ's Bird's Nest. The Chinese fans in our impression are a group of people with tears on their faces all the time...But what we see now is A group of people who are elated and elated. What made them have such a change? The return of glory has reawakened their love for the national football team. I think this is a more valuable result than the 4-0 victory over Syria in the warm-up match and the 2-2 draw with Uruguay, the quarter-finals of the World Cup..."

"The anti-corruption campaign in Chinese football is going on, and after a while we will hear the news that some people we are familiar with have fallen. Of course, the development of Chinese football depends on these administrative forces. But the achievements of the national team can also comfort everyone's hearts at this time. The return of Rongguang is just in time. Although Rongguang said that he wants to win the Asian Cup, I think that even if he does not win the championship in the end, just putting on the jersey of the national team is already a victory..."

Since then, Chinese fans have been waiting for November [-] every day.

This time, tickets for the Kunming Tuodong Stadium are still hard to come by. The scalpers have inflated the tickets to sky-high prices, and there are still many people flocking to them.

Kunming has once again become a place where fans all over China gather and a holy place they yearn for.

For Chinese football, which has just suffered a disastrous defeat in the Asian Games, glory may be their only consolation.

The unhappiness of Chinese fans at the Asian Games urgently needs to be vented.

Even in the warm-up match, they value victory very much.

This time Rong Guang didn't switch from BJ because he didn't need to be interviewed by CCTV in BJ anymore.

He flew directly from Manchester to Kunming.

At Wujiaba International Airport in Kunming, hundreds of fans came to welcome Rong Guang.

This time their organization was much more orderly than last time. When Glory appeared, there was no danger, only singing, cheers and applause in unison.

Sun Hai came to the national team to report with Rong Guang, and he was also honored.

※※※

For the match against Latvia, Gao Hongbo made some adjustments to the starting lineup. Some of these adjustments were related to the state of the international players in the league, and some were related to Gao Hongbo's tactical considerations.

Gao Hongbo intends to use the warm-up match to test several sets of tactics, and he still has an idea in mind.

He wants to find the best solution, that is how to integrate Rongguang with the existing national team...

Although the starting lineup is different, even the formation is different.

However, Rongguang's performance on the court is still the same as the previous two games.

He scored twice in the game to help the national team beat Latvia 2-0.

Gao Hongbo discovered that no matter how he arranged his tactics before, when the game started, Rongguang would quickly turn his tactical arrangement into a decoration, and the whole game became Rongguang's personal performance...

It is still difficult for the team to keep up with Rongguang's rhythm and integrate with Rongguang organically.

The Chinese fans in the stands cheered loudly every time Rongguang took the ball, and they fully enjoyed Rongguang's wonderful personal performance.

But Gao Hongbo was really hard to be happy, because he only saw his own failure and the collapse of his tactics.Even if he wins Latvia, it is a glorious personal victory, and has nothing to do with the Chinese national team, let alone himself.

Gao Hongbo scratched his head, with a calm expression on his face so that even if the TV broadcast gave him a close-up shot, he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart at all...

After the game, Rong Guang left Kunming with Sun Hai and flew back to Manchester to continue playing their Premier League with two national team goals and another warm-up match victory, as well as hundreds of millions of Chinese fans cheering and praising him.
