Chapter 1103 The Champions League group stage is over
In the No.15 round of the league, Manchester City was unexpectedly tied by Stoke City, and their lead over Manchester United changed from eight points to six points.

However, in the No.16 round, Manchester City quickly returned to normal. They defeated Bolton 2:0 at home.

Manchester United's away game against Blackpool was postponed until January 25th, so Manchester United still has 31 points in one game less, and their position in the league has also been replaced by Arsenal.

Chelsea continued their winless run, being tied 1:1 by Everton at home, and ranked fourth with [-] points.

Manchester City leads the league standings with [-] points.

Looks like things are going well, they are eight points clear of Arsenal.

But a crisis is also brewing.

On December [-]th, Manchester City challenged Twente away. Except for Rong Guang, Hart and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the other main players Benitez did not take to the Netherlands.

The purpose is that there is no need to waste everyone's energy for such a meaningless game.

Glory will never accept rotation, so you have to bring it with you.And Zlatan Ibrahimovic probably won't take a rest on his own rotation when Rongguang is not in rotation, so he also takes it with him.

Milan's media were dissatisfied with Manchester City's approach. They believed that Benitez was deliberately releasing water.

But Benitez ignored all such criticism.

He certainly doesn't need to make his team work hard for the life and death of other teams.

As for whether this behavior is releasing water, let UEFA decide.

If UEFA thinks they are letting the water go, then he admits it.Before UEFA speaks out, what qualifications do media reporters have to judge whether Manchester City's actions are releasing water?
Inter Milan now has seven points in the group stage, surpassing Twente by two points. It seems safe, but they are still worried about something wrong.

If Manchester City lose to Twente away, Twente's points will become eight points.

If Inter Milan loses to Werder Bremen again...

Of course, this possibility is very, very small.

But football is round, so anything is possible.

※※※

This possibility really happened!

Inter Milan, who challenged Werder Bremen in an away game, was scored by Werder Bremen defender Pledel in the No.309 minute of the game!
Werder Bremen took the lead!

At this time, Manchester City drew 1:1 with Twente in the away game.

Although Inter Milan is still one point ahead of Twente, who knows how the next game will develop?
The first half is over, and the scores of the two games have not changed again.

At the beginning of the second half, there was good news from Twente's home stadium, De Gerorsch Stadium, Glory scored a goal!
He helped Manchester City lead Twente 2:1!

As long as Twente loses, no matter what Inter Milan achieves or what the result is, Inter Milan will qualify as second in the group.

The commentator on the Italian TV kept praising Rong Guang as a player with extremely high professional ethics...

But before the news reached the pitch, Inter Milan conceded the ball.

Just 2 minutes after the glorious goal, Werder Bremen striker Marko Arnautovic received a pass from Almeida and scored, rewriting the score on the court to 2:0!

The Italian commentators are speechless—Rongguang has worked very hard, but are you really planning to rely on others to advance?
If you don't live up to it yourself, what qualifications do you have to ask others not to release water?

And not only lagging behind in the score, Inter Milan is also at a comprehensive disadvantage on the scene. It is not too much to say that they are being beaten by Werder Bremen.

This kind of performance really makes people have no confidence that Inter Milan can equalize the score, or even win the opponent.

In 6 minutes, the tenacious Twente equalized the score again, 2:2!

It seems that Twente really worked hard to qualify for the group.

Facing such a aggressive team, there is really no need for Manchester City to fight against them. Even if they did not try their best to play, no one can blame them.

But 3 minutes later, Manchester City gave Twente a heavy blow again, or Rongguang gave the opponent a heavy blow.

Rong Guang scored twice to help Manchester City take the lead for the third time.

He also scored his eighth goal in the Champions League this season.

Facing such an insignificant game, Rong Guang still worked very hard.

But he is not fighting for Inter Milan, he doesn't know the current situation of Inter Milan at all, and he doesn't care whether Inter Milan can break into the top sixteen.

He scores goals because he wants to score, he wants to win.

But Twente is really desperate.

Even if they were led for the third time in this game, they did not give up.

No.604 minutes, the young striker Shadley equalized the score for the third time for Twente!

In the De Herolsch Stadium, the cheers and cheers of the Twente fans resounded through the night sky. The Twente fans and the players went crazy together. The atmosphere of this home is impressive.

There is only one idea in their minds now, that is to pull Manchester City down, beat Manchester City, and then qualify from this death group!Copy what Bordeaux did last season!
They have already known the news of another stadium through the radio. Inter Milan is now 0:2 behind Werder Bremen. As long as Twente can beat Manchester City, they will definitely qualify!
The competition for the next game has entered a fierce battle. Twente's players are fighting more and more. For a ball with little chance, they dare to take the risk of injury.

But there is no need for Manchester City to fight with them, so some balls can be given up.

At the Weser Stadium, Leonardo's brows were always furrowed. He was also paying attention to the situation at Twente. If Manchester City really lost to Twente... I'm afraid I have to resign after finishing this game...

If he doesn't take the initiative to resign, I'm afraid he will receive news of his dismissal from the club before he even arrives at the airport.

As for the current situation of Inter Milan on the court, Leonardo has nothing to do.

After Inter Milan won the Triple Crown, it seems that the whole team has lost motivation and fighting spirit. It seems that there is nothing in this world that can still arouse their morale.

Thinking of this, Leonardo lowered his head. He felt that perhaps it was a mistake for him to agree to coach this team...

※※※

Twente is fighting hard, but their luck is not very good.

They bombarded City's half at the last minute, but they just couldn't score.

The technical statistics after the game showed that Twente shot [-] times, hit the target eight times, and missed eight times.Many of the eight missed shots were in the final moments of the game...they were too anxious.

Benitez began to use substitutions to delay the time.

He replaced Ibrahimovic, but left the glory on the court, which made Ibrahimovic a little uncomfortable when he was off the field.

In addition, Twente also won six corner kicks and fouled as many as eleven times.

But they didn't beat Manchester City until the whistle sounded at the end of the game.

In another stadium, Inter Milan conceded another goal in the No.808 minute, and it was Pizarro who scored.

In the few minutes from the throw of the ball to the end of the final game, it was Leonardo's most tormented time.

He has completely disregarded watching the game of the team he coached, and he and his colleagues in the coaching staff are all focused on Twente.

He also heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Twente hadn't scored and the game was over.

In any case, I and the team have passed the test...

Twente tied with Manchester City and scored six points. Although Inter Milan lost to Werder Bremen, they still had seven points. They won the second place in the group by one point and stood out from this group.

As expected of the group of death...

Only at this time did Leonardo feel that his back was covered in sweat.

He also lost his strength and fell on the chair, not recovering for a long time.

Of course he could have expected that even if he made it out of the group, he would be ridiculed when he returned to China, but at least he got out of the group and he still had a chance to prove himself again.

As long as you are alive, there is a chance.

So living is more important than anything else.

Didn't the Inter Milan led by Mourinho get beaten badly and embarrassingly when they faced Barcelona in the group stage last season?

But what happened in the end?Inter Milan has become the champion of the Champions League!

So, as long as you give yourself a chance, give yourself time, squeeze this team, and completely control this team...

※※※

Although Manchester City did not beat Twente in the end, I believe that anyone who watched the game could not say that Manchester City let go. Rongguang scored twice in the game, and Manchester City led three times and was equalized three times.If this is really water, how can it be so exhausting?

After the game, the whole team returned to Manchester by plane to prepare for the No.17 round of the league. Manchester City challenged West Ham United away.

At this time, the saliva lawsuit between Manchester City Club and the Chinese Football Association is also fierce.

The Chinese Football Association hopes that Manchester City can allow Rongguang to report to the national team on December [-]th, which means that Rongguang has to leave after playing against West Ham United, and then return to Manchester City after mid-January next year.

The reason why the Chinese Football Association did this is because Rongguang is the most important player of the Chinese team. They hope that Rongguang and the national team can train and cooperate more together to cultivate a tacit understanding, so as to ensure the team's combat effectiveness in the Asian Cup.

But Manchester City won't do it.

Why should Rong Guang return to the national team so early?
Did your Chinese Football Association give Rong Guang a penny?
The salary is paid by our club. When you need someone, your football association just calls it, right?
It stands to reason that he should give priority to playing for the club!
Manchester City absolutely does not intend to go back with glory so early.
