Chapter 812 New Coach

Rong Guang was relieved by the results of the examination the next day—the examination results showed that his body was normal, and there was no problem with the parts injured in the previous game against Arsenal, and he had reached the standard for playing the game.Then he can prepare for the away game against Fulham.

Before the game against Fulham, Rong Guang reappeared in the team's starting list.

In the game, the glory that seemed to have endless energy also scored a goal.

But he was not able to help Manchester City win.

The morale of Manchester City, which just lost to Manchester United, is very low, and the head coach has been changed.If it weren't for the glorious goal, Manchester City is likely to lose to Fulham away.

In the end, they drew 1:1 with each other.

"...We originally thought that after replacing Mark Hughes, the team could usher in a long-lost victory. But now it seems that Manchester City's problems are more serious than we thought... Rong, who returned from injury, is the best player in the team, but he is alone. He cannot reverse the decline of Manchester City by himself. Mark Bowen is really just a transitional coach..."

"It is said that Carlo Ancelotti has rejected Manchester City's invitation. He intends to finish his contract with AC Milan, and does not intend to leave the team in the middle of the season and go to a completely unknown league...Manchester City's coach selection has suffered setbacks, and they have to adjust their candidates..."

"Manchester City must seize the time to determine the coach candidate, otherwise they can only start planning for next season..."

……

"...In the No.17 round of the league, Manchester City lost 0:1 to Everton at home. Is this the first home game they have lost?"

"In the No.18 round, Manchester City lost 1:2 away to West Bromwich Albion. The first half of the season is almost over, but Manchester City has fallen into the relegation zone... This is really a symbolic ranking. It is really embarrassing that a team built with a lot of money before the season has fallen into such a field..."

"It is said that the Manchester City club is in contact with Benitez's agent. There are not many European teams who can coach Manchester City in the middle of the season. Benitez, who has been at home this season, may be the only candidate..."

"In the 19th round of the league, Manchester City drew 2:2 at home with Hull City, which finally stopped the losing streak...In addition, our reporter saw Benitez in the stands of the Manchester City Stadium. He came to watch the game. It seems that the recent rumors that he will coach Manchester City are true...I think that for Manchester City, Benitez may be a very good head coach...But given the current situation of Manchester City, how much can this Spanish tactician come to play?

"According to the latest news we have received, the Manchester City club has officially announced earlier today that Mark Bowen has been relieved of his position as interim coach, and he will re-become the team's assistant coach to help the new coach manage the team...and the new coach is exactly what was rumored...Rafael Benitez!"

"Manchester City published a large photo of Benitez on their official website, with the words: 'Welcome to the Blue Moon!' But our editor changed the picture a little bit - what Benitez came to was not the Blue Moon, but a broken ship that could sink at any time! Benitez's top priority is to keep Manchester City in the Premier League next season, otherwise the team built by the Abu Dhabi consortium at a huge price will become the biggest joke in Europe..."

"Is Benitez really the head coach that Manchester City needs? Or is he the last choice? After all, at this time only Benitez who is at home can be the head coach of Manchester City...Here we have to mention a game-In Istanbul in 2005, the Champions League final. ? I just want everyone to know more about the man who is about to become the coach of Manchester City..."

Manchester City's players change in the dressing room before a new day's training session, ready to head out for training.

Everyone is also talking about their new head coach.

In terms of reputation as a player, Benitez can't keep up with Mark Hughes, but in terms of reputation as a head coach, Benitez is better than Mark Hughes.

It looks like Benitez is indeed a suitable manager for Manchester City.

He has experience at big clubs - he spent four seasons at Liverpool.

He also has championship experience - when Valencia was in charge, he led the team to two league titles, in addition to winning the UEFA Cup once.In addition, he also led the team to the Champions League final and has very rich experience in competitions.

But everyone is still a little worried.

Not because he lost the Champions League final, but because of the media coverage when he left Liverpool.

"I heard that he is an unreasonable guy, will our life be difficult after that?" Robinho frowned and asked Elano beside him.

"No matter how sad you are, you won't be sad now..." Elano spread his hands and smiled wryly.

"I don't know if he has the ability to help us win...that's what I'm most concerned about," said team captain Dunn.

"Actually, I don't know why we are so hard to win..." Goalkeeper Joe Hart spread his hands and shook his head.

"Rong has scored [-] goals so far this season, ranking first in the league's scorer list, but why can't the team win?"

"Let's leave this problem to our new head coach...Let's see what he can do..."

……

When everyone was talking about Benitez, Rong Guang did not participate because he was not in the locker room at all.

He is practicing free kicks on the training ground.

He was on the right outside the penalty area, about 30 meters from the goal, and kicked the football towards the goal with his left foot.

Some balls go in the goal, but most of the footballs are either high or wide...

"...It's been much better. When he started practicing free kicks, our equipment manager was having a headache. Because he was always looking for the balls that were kicked by Rong in the woods..." Assistant coach Marc Bowen said to Benitez next to him, and he made a joke. "There are still some that have not been found. We all think that he was kicked to Manchester United..."

The training bases of Manchester City and Manchester United are next to each other, separated by a few rows of woods, so maybe this is not a joke.

"I really don't know he is practicing free kicks. When did he start?" Benitez was a little surprised in his tone.

"I think...it should be after the match against Liverpool..." Mark Bowen thought for a while and said. "Want to go up and say hello to him?"

Benitez shook his head: "No, let's go."

"Okay, that's the training ground for the youth team..." Mark Bowen led Benitez to the other side.

When leaving, Benitez looked back at Rong Guang who was training on the training ground.

He stared intently at the goal, one kick after another, without stopping until he had kicked all the footballs at his feet.

The sound of hitting the ball was very clear on the empty training ground in the morning, and there were echoes.

Benitez's first training session attracted many fans and media to the Carrington training base.

Manchester City has fallen to the bottom, and everyone wants to see what changes the new coach can bring to the team after taking office.

Not only the media and fans, but Manchester City players are actually paying attention.

Can the new coach be the one to get them out of the mud?Is it worth them to work for?

However, Benitez's first training session did not show anything special.

He didn't even come up with his own vision, the training content was exactly the same as that of Mark Bowen-in fact, Benitez did, Mark Bowen asked Benitez about the training plan, and he told Bowen to let him do business as usual.

So although the training is only open to the public for 15 minutes, the media reporters and fans are a little disappointed-this tactical master did not show his tactical mind.

We must know that the fundamental reason for Mark Hughes' dismissal is that he was considered to have no clear and clear thinking in his tactics, leaving Manchester City empty with a good hand, but they don't know how to play it.

Everyone thought that the Spanish tactical master would bring something new to Manchester City.

But now it seems... Maybe they expected too much?

"How's the new coach?" Deborah asked Rong Guang, who was devouring it, during dinner.

"Training is the same as usual, I don't see any difference." Rong Guang swallowed the meat wrapped in his mouth, and then said.

"Then do you think he can bring the team victory?" Deborah asked.

"I don't know, I don't care." Rong Guang shook his head, then pushed the plate away, "I'm full."

Then he got up and left.

"It's best to rest after eating..." Deborah turned her head and said to him.

But Rong Guang had already left the restaurant, his voice came from outside: "No time to rest!"

Deborah shook her head helplessly.

On the field with the lights turned on, Rong Guang kicked the football towards the goal one by one.

He wants to change the team's current predicament by himself, and for this he must work harder.In those games in the past, he was still often violated by the opponent's foul tactics, fell to the ground again and again, and was forced to suspend his offense.

If his free-kicks are practiced, those chances can turn into goals.

But now it is still a little bit worse, and the stability cannot be guaranteed.

Sometimes he can be absolutely blind, but sometimes he kicks into the sky...

He has to work hard, he doesn't want to play in the Championship next season.

So, where is the time to rest?

Rest is a very luxurious thing for him.
