Chapter 1145 Started to Compete Again
The Asian Cup final ended on the night of January 29th, and this game was played on the night of February [-]nd. There was only three days between the two games. It is normal that Rongguang has not switched back.

However, as the game progressed, his feeling was gradually recovering.

He could no longer hear cheering voices like "Come on, Chinese team", it was all in English with various accents, reminding Rongguang all the time, this is not Doha, but England!
After the glorious goal, Manchester City took a one-goal lead away.

This is a very bad thing for Birmingham.If they lose this game and one of the three teams behind them wins, then they will have to fall into the relegation zone...

So after the game restarted, they launched a fierce attack towards Manchester City's goal.

Of course there is a price to pay for this...

So in the No. 18 minute, Manchester City made a quick counterattack. After Rong Guang dribbled the ball for 40 meters, he shot a burst shot from outside the penalty area. The goalkeeper couldn't make a save, and the football flew into the goal for the second time.

"Two goals! Rong! He's in great shape!"

"Before the game, everyone said that Rong had just participated in the Asian Cup. His physical fitness was not good, and his condition would definitely not be good... But now Rong has scored twice with a brace and slapped everyone who thinks so!"

"Rong is simply a monster! After playing so many Asian Cup games, he came directly from the final stadium to the Premier League. He didn't rest in the middle, and he can still perform like this..."

"Birmingham may have also been influenced by the media, thinking that Rong's physical strength must be poor, and his performance will not be good... As a result, they are now punished. So don't trust what the media says!"

※※※

But the glorious performance is not over yet.Leading by two goals in the first half was not enough to make him feel safe.

To really ensure that this game can be won, Rong Guang felt that at least one more goal had to be scored.

But Birmingham seems to be intimidated by the state he showed.

Birmingham were no longer swarming out for an equaliser after the restart.

At the same time, they also strengthened their defense against Rongguang. There are two Birmingham players around Rongguang at any time.

In one and a half months, Manchester City had no glory, and many teams who played against Manchester City were relieved-they finally didn't have to rack their brains how to defend the glory in the game.

Too bad Birmingham didn't catch up.

They sent two players to defend Rongguang in this game.

But even so, there is no guarantee that they will be able to guard against Glory.

At the end of the first half, Rongguang broke through with the ball and was tripped at the front of the penalty area. Manchester City won a direct free kick in the frontcourt.

The entire Birmingham team became nervous, especially the fouled players, who kept waving to the referee, signaling that this was not a foul, but a glorious flop.

The referee wanted to laugh after hearing the explanation of the Birmingham players.The whole world knows that Rongguang never flops, you tell me that this is his flop, are you insulting my IQ?
So the referee not only awarded Manchester City a free kick, but also gave the foul player a yellow card.

The opponent can only go to the wall unwillingly.

※※※

Only 25 meters away from the goal, Rong Guang won a direct free kick.

The game has progressed to No. 406 minutes, and there are 2 minutes of stoppage time in the first half. It can be said that this may be Rongguang's last chance to attack in the first half.

During the intermission, he will follow the previous agreement with Benitez and accept the arrangement of being replaced.

Before that, he had to score another goal to ensure that the morale of the Birmingham players was completely destroyed.

This free kick is his last chance.

After Rong Guang set up the football, he pushed two steps away, and he changed the angle. It can be seen from his position that he did not intend to use the elevator ball with his right foot to kick this free kick.

After all, the distance is too close...

You must know that Rongguang's left foot also has the ability to kick a banana ball.

Seeing Rong Guang standing like this, the Birmingham goalkeeper stood in the middle of the goal.

In this way, even if Rong Guang wants to kick a left-footed curve ball, it will be easier for him than jumping from the right side of the goal to the left...

But it was useless for him to do so.

Because when Rong Guang swung his left foot to shoot the goal, the football bypassed the wall from the top side of the wall, and also bypassed the goalkeeper's ten fingers, and got into the goal!
"Hat-trick!! Rong! Hat-trick! This is his first league game after returning to the club after the Asian Cup, and he completed a hat-trick! Who dares to say that he is not in good form?!"

"What a monster..." Alan Hansen murmured, shaking his head beside him.

Being able to complete a hat-trick under such circumstances is really not something ordinary people can do.

Rongguang finished it so easily, it only took 45 minutes to finish it.

While Birmingham, who was playing at home, was beaten by Rongguang and had no power to fight back.

After Birmingham kicked off for the fourth time in the game, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

At the end of the first half, Manchester City led Birmingham 3-0 away.Everyone felt that the suspense of this game was gone.

Although there is no shortage of precedents in the history of football for tying the score or even reversing it after falling behind by three goals.

But the situation facing Birmingham is different from them.

They face the glory of a very scary horror pervert.

Being behind by three goals may be just the beginning, how will they catch up in the second half?Moreover, the three goals in the first half really devastated the entire Birmingham team, and their fighting spirit was almost destroyed.

※※※

After a 15-minute intermission, the second half began. To the surprise of Birmingham and others, the second half had just begun, and Manchester City had already used up the first substitution quota.

And the one who was replaced was... Rong Guang!
This surprised everyone.

Before the start of the game, Rongguang was considered to be in poor physical fitness, and Benitez may put him on the bench and let Ibrahimovic be the main attacker.This is why Manchester City must file a complaint when there is little hope of appealing, just to let Ibrahimovic play the game against Birmingham.

You must know that in the first half of the season, Manchester City was forced 0:0 by Birmingham at their home court.

Later, everyone saw that Rong Guang appeared in the starting list, starting with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and they began to understand.

Then in the game, Rongguang completed a hat-trick in only 45 minutes, which made everyone doubt whether their pre-match analysis was correct—this Rongguang's state is so obvious!And judging from his running movements, he doesn't look very tired either.

In the face of Rongguang's outstanding performance, everyone had to revise their judgment on Rongguang.

This game may turn into a massacre, and Rong Guang might score more goals in the game.

But before the kick-off in the second half, Rong Guang was off!
why is that?He is in such a good state, why did Benitez replace him?

Is it true that his body is not back to its best condition?
How to explain the hat-trick in the first half?

There are many question marks in everyone's mind, which cannot be answered.

Rong Guang only played in the first half when he came to Birmingham, which was really unexpected to them...

But no matter how they understood this matter, Rong Guang had already come to an end.

Birmingham feel much better without Glory, and they don't have to worry about defending Glory.

They began to try to counterattack - with the goal of relegation, they were not willing to give up the game even if they were three goals behind.

But Birmingham's fightback was, in one man's opinion, infuriating.

This person is the Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

He was not angry because the Birmingham players behaved like dogs with their tails between their legs when Rong Guang was on the field, with no fighting spirit at all.

Now that Rong Guang is no longer on the field, they are excited.

But I'm still fucking here!
Did you put me in your eyes by doing this?

Ibrahimovic believes that the performance of the Birmingham players is a naked provocation and humiliation to him, as if only glory can make them feel jealous, but he can't.

Well then, let you see the result of angering me, Zlatan!

※※※

So just when Birmingham was concentrating on getting back the score, in 8 minutes, Ibrahimovic used a strong volley from outside the penalty area during the attack and blasted the football into Birmingham's goal.

"Ibrahimovic! Ibrahimovic! World wave! Manchester City leads Birmingham 4:0!"

"Although Rong is gone, Manchester City still has Zlatan Ibrahimovic...During the period when Rong left the team, although Manchester City was chased by Manchester United in the league standings, they have not lost a game after all. Ibrahimovic has contributed a lot here...The Swedes must not be underestimated!"

After the goal, Ibrahimovic was very wild when celebrating, his long hair was waving in the air, like swords...

But Ibrahimovic's anger has not yet been released.

At No. 703 minutes, he used another shovel shot in the penalty area to rewrite the score to 5:0!

"Two goals! Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored two goals!"

"This game really turned into a massacre! Poor Birmingham, scored five goals by Manchester City at home..."

Ibrahimovic waved his fists to demonstrate to the Birmingham fans in the stands, because he got a lot of boos in this game, especially after the glorious end, as long as he got the ball, the Birmingham fans booed him, as if trying to make Ah lose his mind.

Ibrahimovic showed them what it would take to piss off Zlatan with a brace.

※※※

Benitez turned to his assistant coach Mauricio Pellegrino, smiled and said: "Look, Mauricio."

"What an interesting couple." Pellegrinino also laughed.

With these two people on the stage at the same time, it seems that these coaches are much more relaxed...

They only need to work hard to transform in the usual training, and the game is completely handed over to the players.
