Chapter 1237 World Cup Qualifiers
When the Manchester City players brought the UEFA Super Cup back to Manchester, half the city was boiling.

Manchester City fans all took to the streets to welcome the team's triumphant return.

They all feel that they are probably the happiest Manchester City fans in history.Because Manchester City has never brought so much happiness to their fans before.

They caught up with the best time, this is the golden age of Manchester City!
Since the glory came to Manchester City in 2008, three seasons have passed. Manchester City has won an FA Cup, two league titles, three Community Shield titles, a Champions League title and a UEFA Super Cup title.

Manchester City has never won so many heavyweight championships so intensively in history.

They chanted the names of every Manchester City player and coach along the way, allowing them to fully feel the enthusiasm of the fans.

The Manchester City players are also very happy.

After winning the Champions League, many of them lost motivation.Now, looking at the scene in front of them, they feel that it is a good choice to win another Champions League...

In the past, I always felt that if I won the championship, I would have no motivation.

Looking at it now, who would think there are too many champions?

If we can afford to win ten championships, why should we only win nine?
Achieving the championship will be harder than not winning the championship, but we have Rong, Ibrahimovic, Kaka, Sneijder... With these players, under their leadership, is there anything we can't do?

After winning the UEFA Super Cup, Manchester City's players were disbanded directly after returning to England.

Then there are two national team games.

Rong Guang also returned to China and joined the national team to prepare for the first World Cup Asian Qualifier Top [-] match with Singapore. The Chinese team played against Singapore at home.

Considering that Rongguang has just finished the European Super Cup and has played many games in a row in a week, plus the long-distance flight, the jet lag has not yet fallen, the physical fitness and state will definitely be affected, and Singapore is not too strong.

So Gao Hongbo didn't put Rong Guang in the starting list for this game.

Of course, he had already made it clear to Rong Guang before making this decision.

Although Rong Guang felt that his body and state were fine, what Gao Hongbo said was also reasonable. He had to trust his teammates and let them do what he wanted. Don't let the team develop a mentality of relying on him.

So he accepted Gao Hongbo's decision to put him on the bench.

When Gao Hongbo announced the starting roster of the Chinese team at the pre-match press conference, everyone was a little surprised when they found that Rong Guang was not among them.

Although everyone feels that with Singapore's strength, it is really not necessary to make an appearance.But whether Rongguang starts or not has nothing to do with the strength of the opponent.

With Rong Guang's desire to fight, how could he not start?

Could it be that continuous battles and long-distance travel made him very tired?

Some people even wondered if Rong Guang was injured in training after returning to China, which made him unable to play against Singapore.

But Gao Hongbo just said that Rongguang had traveled a long distance and needed to take a rest.

His remarks were interpreted by the Singaporean media as "Because the opponent Singapore is not strong enough, the coach of the Chinese team, Gao Hongbo, did not let Rong start."

With such an interpretation, in the eyes of Singapore fans and the media, Gao Hongbo has become a conceited man who is proud and underestimates the enemy.

Although Gao Hongbo really felt that Singapore would not allow Rong Guang to play the game without even turning the time difference, he actually did not underestimate the enemy, because his tactical arrangements in this game were still very serious. Besides, given the strength gap between the Chinese team and Singapore, even without Rong Guang, it would not be considered underestimating the enemy if the other main players played, right?You must know that the Chinese team still has Barcelona's main center Gao Lin, Rong Guang is a substitute, and he is the starter.

How can this not be regarded as underestimating the enemy?
But the media in Singapore seized this point and made a big fuss, hyping that China looks down on people.

"It seems normal for the new Asian Cup champions to look down on us...but I think this kind of view is wrong, football is round, and people who think they should win are stupid. There is no game in the world that should be won! If the Chinese players think so, then we are happy to teach them a lesson at their home court!"

This article revealed that the reason why the Singaporean media did this was to use the concept of "the Chinese team looks down on us" to arouse the fighting spirit of Singaporean players.

In fact, the Singaporean media is also very clear that in terms of strength, they are indeed weaker than the Chinese team, which exists objectively.Coupled with the away game, if you want to make a plan, you can only start from the spiritual level.

On the one hand, I hope that the Chinese team really underestimates the enemy, and on the other hand, I hope that the Singapore players can be inspired to fight endlessly, so as to use their strong spiritual strength to bridge the gap in strength between the two sides.

The match between the Chinese team and Singapore was held in Kunming, Yunnan.Kunming, as the home field of the plateau, is one of the home games of the Chinese team.

In order to prepare for this game, the Chinese team came to Kunming two weeks in advance to start training.They also do this to adapt to the altitude and avoid altitude sickness.

Because the Chinese team won the championship in the Asian Cup at the beginning of the year, the football atmosphere in China is very hot now.

Tickets for this game were sold out long ago even though the scalpers raised high prices.

The Tuodong Stadium in Kunming was packed during the game.

Everyone hopes to witness a hearty victory for the Chinese team at home.Before the game, CCTV interviewed the fans who came to watch the game. Some fans even stretched out their fingers, which means that the Chinese team will beat Singapore 10-0.

Although they have some regrets about Rongguang not being able to start, they are all fans of the Chinese team first, and they are here to support the Chinese team.

But after the game started, the situation did not go according to the trajectory China envisioned for the fans.

The performance of the dominant Chinese team after the start of the game did not give people the feeling that they are very strong.

Although there were some opportunities, they were squandered and squandered.

However, Singapore's resolute defensive counterattack tactics received a miraculous effect in the No.303 minute. Their forward Djuric used the counterattack to blast the Chinese team's goal in the No.303 minute, breaking the deadlock on the field!

"The Chinese team lost the ball... oops!" Liu Hong, who was in charge of explaining the game, was surprised and disappointed.

His tone also reflected the feelings of fans across the country at this time.

No one thought that the Chinese team would concede the ball first!

"The players of the Chinese team underestimated the enemy a bit, which made it difficult for them to enter the state after the start of the game!"

※※※

Gao Hongbo on the sidelines was also very depressed about the conceded goal. He really didn't expect that the Chinese team, which had only lost glory, would fall behind Singapore by one goal at home!
What the hell is this kicking!
Now he's going to be under a lot of pressure.

If the Chinese team is unable to equalize the score for a long time, his original decision to let Rong Guang not start will definitely be discussed by the media after the game, and attacks and criticisms against him will definitely be indispensable.

It stands to reason that Gao Hongbo only needs to quickly replace Rong Guang at such a time.But Gao Hongbo didn't want to do that, and he didn't think what he did was wrong.He firmly believes that a team cannot just rely on one person, and this is also the consensus between Rongguang and him.That's why in the Asian Cup, Rong Guang worked so hard to drive the whole team.

Since the direction is correct, even if you walk slowly, you must stick to it.

Gao Hongbo still hopes to rely on his current players to solve the problem, instead of simply replacing him with Glory. That way, he can win the game, but it is too simple and rude.

He glanced at Rong Guang, and Rong Guang, who was sitting on the sidelines, frowned after losing the ball, but he didn't come to him and asked to play.

Take it easy...

Gao Hongbo said to himself in his heart.

Let's wait a little longer, the first half is not over yet...

※※※

As a result, until the end of the first half, the Chinese team failed to equalize the score. There were already boos from some fans in the stands. Although it was still sporadic, it was not a good sign.

If it continues to drag on, when the fans boo more and more, the psychology of the Chinese players will be disturbed, and I'm afraid they will become more impatient.At that time, I had to replace Rong Guang in order to equalize the score.

That was a total failure.

During the intermission, the anxious players kept talking about their eyes on Rongguang, as if hoping that Rongguang would take the initiative to stand up, or let the head coach replace Rongguang.

Gao Hongbo naturally saw their small actions, but he didn't intend to do what they wanted.

He even told everyone bluntly: "I will never let Rong Guang play until you overtake the score."

Everyone looked at Rong Guang in surprise. Rong Guang sat in his seat with a blank expression on his face, and did not raise any objection to the head coach's arrangement.

"If you can't even win Singapore, do you still want to go to the World Cup? What are you going to do there? Is it a shame? We went to the World Cup in 2002, but so what? After the game, Chinese football has become the laughing stock of the whole world!" Gao Hongbo was a little excited. "Think about how we won the Asian Cup? Are you a bunch of moths who only enjoy the fruits of victory? Are you going to let everyone say that victory and glory are only obtained by glory?"

※※※

During the intermission, there was a discussion in the back studio of CCTV. Everyone felt that Gao Hongbo should replace Rong Guang at such a time. Facts have proved that he made a mistake of underestimating the enemy, so now he must make up for this mistake.

If Rong Guang does not play, I am afraid that the Chinese team will collapse in the second half.

In the rear studio of Singapore Television Station, Singaporean football experts and hosts were delighted with the team's performance in the first half.But the only thing they are worried about now is that Gao Hongbo will make a substitution during the intermission.

Put glory on the field.

Other players in the Chinese team may have the mood of underestimating the enemy, but Rong Guang will not, he will never show mercy to his opponent.Coupled with the fact that the Chinese team fell behind at home in the first half, this fact must have angered Rongguang.If he plays, it will be bad news for Singapore.
