Chapter 799 Responsible
Three days before the start of the game, Liverpool talked about the closely watched game in their regular midweek press conference.

Dalglish, who was the head coach of Liverpool at the time, said: "I heard about Mark Hughes...To be honest, I sympathize with Hughes very much, because anyone sitting in that position will be very difficult to do. Manchester City spent so much money, of course they will demand results as soon as possible, but the laws of football cannot allow a team to rebuild so quickly..."

Although in the player era, the two played for a pair of old enemies.

But Dalglish still chose to speak for Mark Hughes, which reflects his gentlemanly demeanor.

But he changed the subject: "But I will not show mercy in this game. Liverpool will go all out to beat Manchester City away. Our goal this season is to compete for the championship!"

Spanish coach Rafa Benitez left Liverpool this summer - in fact, he was swept out by the Liverpool club when his contract did not expire.

The reason for his dismissal was because of irreconcilable conflicts with the club's top management.

This contradiction existed since he lost the Champions League in his first year in the team.

In the next few years, he led the team's performance to be fair, at least he was able to enter the Champions League every year.

But the Liverpool executives who have seen the scenery on the top of the mountain have much higher demands on him, and they are no longer satisfied with just reaching the Champions League every year.

The night of Istanbul in 2005 is like a nail, firmly rooted in the hearts of every Liverpool player. Over the years, what they pursue is to return to the Champions League final and win the championship.It would be even better if they could beat AC Milan in the final.

Originally, the 2006-2007 season was a good opportunity, and they reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

But they were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Bayern Munich, where Glory is located.

And you must know that the two sides in the final that year were Bayern Munich and AC Milan.

If Liverpool had been able to eliminate Bayern Munich, they might have met AC Milan in the final. That would be a perfect revenge...

But Benitez's team once again lost a key game.

Since then, the conflict between the club's top management and Benitez has become more and more intense, revolving around team building, signings and expectations for results.

In the end, the conflict between the two sides became fierce, and Benitez left Liverpool after the end of last season.

Liverpool brought in club legend Kenny Dalglish to replace Rafa Benitez.

After Dalglish came to the team, he re-instilled the "KOP spirit" in Liverpool.As a legend of the team, he can also hold the field in the dressing room, coupled with the excellent state of the players, so Liverpool played quite well at the beginning of this season.

This also made the Liverpool club executives think that they were right to give up Benitez decisively.

Dalglish is the real man for Liverpool!

Although Benitez, who was dismissed by Liverpool, had many rumors at that time, such as Juventus and Real Madrid were interested in him, and even Manchester City approached him, he was still at home in the end.

The explanation he gave was that he hoped to take a good rest and recharge himself.

Despite being at home, not many people believe that Manchester City can beat a team like Liverpool at home.

It is said that the bookmaker has stopped accepting bets that Mark Hughes will leave get out of class after this game-because this is an obvious thing, the data monitoring of the bookmaker shows that there are already a lot of funds to bet that Mark Hughes will leave get out of class after this game...

If the betting is not closed, the bookmaker will suffer some losses...

"...Does Mark Hughes have any clear ideas in his tactics? Yes, that is, give after the ball in the frontcourt, give away after getting the ball in the backcourt, give away after getting the ball from the left, give away the ball from the right, and give away the ball from the center...After he gets the ball himself, others enter the mode of watching the show..." On the TV station, a guest commentator criticized Mark Hughes' incompetence bitterly.

"Manchester City spent close to [-] million pounds to buy players this summer. Is it just to find ten people to form a starting lineup with Rong?" The guest continued to ridicule Mark Hughes and the Manchester City club. "Oh, sorry, Mr. Fahim. I accidentally revealed the idea of ​​​​your club's team building!"

"We conducted a random survey on the streets of Manchester. Among the interviewed Manchester City fans, 70.00%[-] people think that Rong should not be relied on. Although Rong is very good, he needs excellent helpers... You see, even ordinary fans know more about football than Mark Hughes!"

The host and the audience burst into laughter.

When this high-profile game started, Mark Hughes sat quietly in his seat, and did not stand on the sidelines to direct the game. His calm expression was the death row prisoner waiting for execution.

On the field, Manchester City, who are playing at home, is at a disadvantage. Everyone is not surprised by this, because it has been like this in previous games.

Manchester City's offense is a complete mess, there is no system, even the most ordinary fans can see that Manchester City's offense has no rules.

Rong Guang, Berbatov and Robinho are all isolated and helpless, and no effective connection has been established.

The commentators are too lazy to complain about this, and everyone has complained about it too many times in the past games.

Mark Hughes doesn't quite get it right, the connection between the three of them is very tenuous and simple.

"If I were Fahim, I wouldn't have waited until the end of the game at all, I would have fired Mark Hughes before the game..."

Alan Hansen said.

During his career, Alan Hansen and Mark Hughes had many confrontations on the court.Alan Hansen is Liverpool's centre-back, while Mark Hughes is Manchester United's striker.

The two of them must have all kinds of confrontation.

Now this confrontation extends to the coaching bench and the commentary bench...

It's just that it has become Alan Hansen's unilateral mockery of Mark Hughes.

Perhaps when everyone thought he would become Liverpool's future coach, he chose to be a commentator, just to avoid being complained about like this?

Kenny Dalglish stood on the sidelines, with his hands in his pockets, his body straightened, looking very chic and calm from the back.

25 minutes into the game, Liverpool had taken the lead by one away goal.

Dalglish fulfilled his promise before the game - he did not release water, but went all out.

Liverpool's away game has a strong anti-customer posture, which makes Manchester City play very embarrassingly.

The Manchester City fans in the stands were also a little quiet-in fact, they were quite active at the beginning of the game, but when Liverpool scored a goal in the No. 18 minute, the stands at the Manchester City Stadium were much quieter.

Manchester City's offense is still like headless chickens, bumping around. If you are lucky, you can threaten Liverpool's goal. If you are not lucky...

But the most threatening Liverpool goal is glory.

The commentator Mortenson really praised Rong Guang: "Even if he is the only one fighting alone, he can still surprise us. Manchester City's overall performance is sluggish, but Rong is definitely the best one. He is worthy of the value that Manchester City gave him... He really deserves to be the former World Footballer and European Golden Globe!"

"But what's the use? It's impossible for him alone to bring victory to the team... Actually, I think it's good to let Mark Hughes get out of class after this game. It might be a good thing for Manchester City..." Alan Hansen did not miss every opportunity to complain about Mark Hughes.

Rong Guang completed a long-range shot, which caused Liverpool goalkeeper Reina to lose his hand when he was making a save. Fortunately, Reina's reaction was fast enough. At the same time, Liverpool's central defender Skrtel protected in time, and Reina immediately hugged the football again.

Seeing this scene, Rong Guang frowned, a little unwilling.

But what if you are not reconciled?

"Look at this ball. Rong's long-range shot is very powerful and fast, which caused Reina to drop it. If Berbatov could run two more steps, or run a little earlier, maybe he would have a chance to score with this kick... But unfortunately, he didn't run... Look at this slow motion. When Rong shot the goal, Berbatov was here. When Reina dropped his hand, he was still in place. When Reina hugged the football for the second time, he didn't move at all... Tsk tsk." Alan Hansen shook. head.

But Rong Guang didn't complain that his teammates were not strong enough, he turned around and ran back.

He actually already knew about this.

The media has said more than once that winning or losing is not his responsibility alone, but Rongguang's idea is very simple - since he is the team's top star and holds the highest salary in the team, he should be responsible for the team's victory and failure.This is his responsibility, and it is also the price of getting a high salary.

Even if he is alone, even if it is unrealistic, he wants to carry the team forward.

What he said must be fulfilled!
He said that if he wants to make Manchester City a giant, then he must do it!

So he doesn't care how his teammates perform, as long as he performs well, he is very strict with himself.

At least in this game, when the whole world is not optimistic about Manchester City, Rongguang wants to help the team win this game-he is not trying to save Mark Hughes's coaching position, but to prove it to Kaka.

You say I can't do it alone?

Then I'll show you...

You are wrong!

Caroline heard the sound of the ball game, came down from upstairs, and found Kaka sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching the TV screen very intently.

She turned her eyes to the TV screen and found that it was a Premier League game.

This didn't surprise her much.Since Rong Guang went to Manchester City, the number of times Kaka watched Premier League games has increased significantly.

"Manchester City is behind." Caroline glanced at the screen, and then sat next to Kaka. "How about Rong's performance?"

"That idiot thought he could dominate the game by himself!" Kaka snorted.

When Caroline met Kaka, she never had such a foul language.The current Kaka is also a gentleman, but when it comes to honor, he will be a different person. After all these years, Caroline has gotten used to it.

She sat beside her husband, stopped talking, and silently watched the glorious match with him.
