Chapter 798 Ultimatum
"Is Mark Hughes so unbearable?" Deborah asked Rong Guang during the meal.

Now that the media has criticized Mark Hughes overwhelmingly, Deborah is also very curious whether Mark Hughes is really not qualified for the position of head coach of this team.

After all, Rongguang is a player and has to be in contact with Mark Hughes every day, so she wants to hear Rongguang's evaluation of Mark Hughes.

"I can't say, I don't really understand tactical things. But it's really not good for the team to keep winning..."

Rong Guang frowned and said.

He is indeed dissatisfied with the status quo of the team, but he put it mildly.

After hearing Rong Guang's answer, Deborah fell into deep thought.

"What's wrong?" This time it was Rong Guang's turn to be curious.

"Now that there are so many voices criticizing him in the media, I wonder if he can withstand it. After all, he is the head coach of the team. If the head coach collapses, the team will be in danger. Since you are now a player of Manchester City, I will definitely be more concerned about Manchester City's results."

"Is it like when I was at Bayern Munich?" Rong Guang asked.

"Of course." Deborah shrugged.

Rong Guang smiled: "Don't worry, it won't be too bad."

Deborah raised her head when she heard these words, and looked at Rong Guang.

"Even if the head coach collapses, I won't collapse." Rong Guang said with a smile, looking at the woman in front of him.

"You haven't scored in two games." Deborah pointed at Rong Guang with the spoon in her hand.

Rong Guang scratched his head in embarrassment: "Accident, accident... eat, eat!"

He bowed his head after speaking.

Deborah laughed when she saw him like this.

The look on his face when he said "I won't collapse either" just now... looks pretty good.

Things don't seem to be getting better.

In the next sixth round of the league, Manchester City lost to Wigan 1:2 away.

Counting the League Cup, it has been five consecutive games without a win. In these five games, they drew one and lost four.

Manchester City's ranking also slipped to No.12 after six league rounds.

This ranking is far from everyone's expectations for them at the beginning of the season...

From two consecutive victories in the league to four consecutive rounds without victories, the media began to criticize Mark Hughes more and more. The team's performance is not good, and the head coach is definitely the first to be blamed.

Now it's not just Mark Hughes being criticized - everyone is tired of criticizing Mark Hughes, and there is nothing new to say.

The current public opinion not only criticizes the head coach, but also criticizes the players.

The ones who were scolded the most were Berbatov and Robinho.

These two have been in the team for so long, but they only scored one goal each, and they don't contribute much to the team other than that.

Compared with their worth, this performance is indeed too shabby.

The media scolded Berbatov for being too lazy and running too little on the pitch.

Scolding Robinho for dribbling too much - public opinion can't wait for Robinho to pass the football to Rongguang as soon as he catches the ball, and then watch the show by himself...

But no one scolded Rong Guang.

As a person who suffered a serious ankle injury half a year ago and hadn't played a game for eight months, Rongguang's performance is good enough and there is nothing to criticize.

He has scored six goals and provided one assist in those six games.

It doesn't matter that he hasn't scored in his last two league games.

It's not his problem, he's positive in his game.

It's just that his opponent's defense against him is getting tighter and more restrictive, even...he doesn't hesitate to use foul tactics.

This is also one of the reasons why Rongguang failed to score in two consecutive league rounds.

The opponent's defensive actions against him are getting bigger and bigger, and it is even difficult for Rongguang to hold the ball for more than ten seconds in a row.

When at the front of the opponent's penalty area, this time will be shorter.

Although this will cause the opponent to be fined a lot of fouls, it is better than letting Rongguang score directly, right?
Everyone thinks it's not Rongguang's fault. He fell into the opponent's foul tactics because other Manchester City players did not support Rongguang well, so he had to fight alone in the frontcourt.

In short, everyone is very tolerant of Rong Guang.

Except for a very small number of members, most people think that it is already very good for Rongguang to be able to perform like this after his comeback after being seriously injured for more than half a year.

But no matter how good an individual's performance is, it's hard to save a team.

When Rongguang was in Baeren, the reason why Bayern Munich was able to win so many championships was not only his own outstanding performance, but also the hard work of other Bayern Munich players.Perhaps their light is not as dazzling as Glory, but they are also indispensable.

But today's Manchester City is far from Bayern Munich... So it's not enough just to perform well.

To put it bluntly, despite the fact that Manchester City spent a lot of money this summer, their strength may not be as good as Werder Bremen, which was rented by Rongguang back then...

News of Mark Hughes' dismissal first emerged in the media following the loss to Wigan.

Mark Hughes is also far ahead of everyone else in the betting company's odds for the head coaches of the [-] Premier League teams this season.

The "Manchester Evening News" said that Mark Hughes will be dismissed from get out of class.In terms of reporting the news of the two local teams, the "Manchester Evening News" is quite authoritative.

They both have journalists based on both teams and have sources inside both clubs.

These people can provide them with a lot of exclusive revelations.

"...We said before that people in the Middle East are impatient. It is said that Fasim has decided to let Mark Hughes get out of class. However, this decision should be a temporary decision, because Manchester City has not started looking for Mark Hughes' successor. It is said that the boss behind Fassim is very dissatisfied with Manchester City's recent record. He believes that the team's troubles are the responsibility of the head coach Mark Hughes...It is said that the next round, Manchester City's home game against Liverpool should be Mark Hughes' last chance. If he loses again, he will be dismissed by the team. Get out of the house - Manchester City club with deep pockets don't care about paying some break clause or something..."

Later, other media also reported on the incident.

It was widely believed that the game against Liverpool would be the one that would decide the fate of Mark Hughes.

If Manchester City loses again, Mark Hughes will definitely go out.

But... Liverpool, Manchester City's opponent in the next round of the league, is not a good opponent!

After six rounds of the league, Liverpool is currently ranked second, with four wins and two draws, accumulating [-] points, the same points as Chelsea, the league's top player, but only ranked second because of a small goal difference.

This kind of Liverpool is at the same level as the Chelsea that Manchester City met in the fourth round of the league.

It's also at home. Since Manchester City failed to beat Chelsea, how can they expect them to beat Liverpool?

※※※

Mark Hughes is really having a headache right now, and the claims in the media aren't baseless rumours... they're true.

He was indeed given an ultimatum by Faseem after the team lost to Wigan.

If he wants to change the team's current situation immediately, a team built with a lot of money cannot slip into the relegation zone.

If, at the end of the season, Manchester City find themselves reporting to the Championship next season, it must be the end of the world!

The game against Liverpool has to be won.This is Fahim's death order to himself.

Although Mark Hughes tried to explain to Fahim how strong Liverpool is and how difficult it is for Manchester City to beat Liverpool... But Fahim was not interested in his explanation and told him that he would not accept any result except winning.

"Either the team wins, or you leave." Fahim said to Mark Hughes with a serious expression.

This Arab who doesn't understand football!

Mark Hughes cursed Fahim countless times in his mind.

He only gave orders, but he didn't care whether the order could be carried out or not.

Win against Liverpool?

Even at our home court, it is not easy to beat Liverpool, which is in good momentum. How can I guarantee victory?
The only thing he can rely on now is glory.

However, Rongguang failed to score a goal in the past few games and fell into the opponent's various foul tactics.

Although Rongguang can bring many free kick opportunities to Manchester City.But the Manchester City team does not have a particularly good free kick expert, and...the free kick scoring rate itself is not high, it is difficult to count on free kicks to score.

Besides, since the opponent dared to use foul tactics, they must have specially practiced set-piece defense.

So, in short, it is very difficult to win Liverpool.

When Mark Hughes just took over as the head coach of Manchester City, he had already decided that Rongguang would join Manchester City. He was very happy that he could coach such a team and such a player, and he also had his own ambitions.

He wants to change his inherent impression of "only coaching small teams" in the eyes of most people.He wants to use the platform of Manchester City to realize his ideals-he also wants to win the championship.

This team has the support of a huge amount of money, and has world-class players like Rong Guang... Why worry about nothing?

At that time, some media said that Mark Hughes was the most enviable head coach in the world, because he could buy whoever he wanted, and he already had players like Rong Guang.

But in the end, after only six rounds of the league, his dream was crushed by the cold reality, and it was crumbling.

Mark Hughes doesn't feel that this is the most enviable job in the world now, on the contrary, it is the most headache job in the world.

He hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time, and the huge pressure is tormenting him all the time.

It made him, who was already full of gray hair, look even older...

His wife, Mary, looked at her husband with concern, for fear that he would faint on the ground due to high blood pressure when he got up...

Mark Hughes was visibly absent-minded during the meal.

"Or don't do it, my dear..." she advised softly.

"No, Marie. It's far from what I had in Barcelona. I can get through. No problem."

Mark Hughes waved his hand lightly, then left.

Mary was behind him, looking at him worriedly. From the tone of his words just now, the wife felt that her husband might be at the end of his rope...
