Chapter 820 It's Just a Ball
Alan Hansen was right, and even Manchester City fans weren't too excited about the goal.

Especially Berbatov, who scored the goal, their cheers were not very enthusiastic, which was completely different from the performance after Rong Guang scored the goal.If the goal was scored by glory, then their cheers would be louder.

Manchester City fans have always had resentment towards Berbatov.

And this resentment deepened with Berbatov's poor performance.

He joined Manchester City for half a season and started almost every game, but so far he has only scored four league goals. As the main center forward who spent 2000 million pounds to come to Manchester City this summer, this performance is too unreasonable...

So the media has been criticizing him.

When Berbatov joined Manchester City, there was an episode where Manchester City fans ran to protest his joining. Now his performance has made Manchester City fans believe that this person is here to cheat money.

And it is so unprofessional to cheat money, which is even more annoying.

Manchester City fans have no less black Berbatov.During this period of time, jokes related to Berbatov were also born on the Internet.

They really didn't like Berbatov.

Even if Berbatov scores now, they are not too excited.

It will probably take time for them to change their views on Berbatov. The most important thing is... They are not sure whether this goal is an accidental performance. If the state cannot be sustained, what is the use of this goal?
Another reason for the lukewarm response from Manchester City fans has to do with the team.

In the first half of the season, Manchester City took the lead too many times, but in the end they still allowed the opponent to equalize or reverse.

After having such experiences many times, the Manchester City fans are also scared. They dare not cheer too early before the game is over, otherwise it will be a waste of expression.

The game only started 10 minutes into the first half. Do you dare to say that you have won by one goal?

Let's wait until the end of the game to see the results...

"After Manchester City scored, the atmosphere in the stadium doesn't seem to have improved..." Chinese reporters were discussing in the media seats.

"Of course, one goal can't explain anything. If you dare to say that Manchester City can win now, they will dare to slap you in the face..." said the colleague next to him. "I've seen this too many times. The biggest feature of Manchester City's performance this season is instability. They can beat Liverpool 3:2, or lose 1:2 at home to Tottenham Hotspur..."

"Hey, it's really miserable. Even though you scored a goal, your fans dare not celebrate... Is Manchester City's problem so serious now?"

"Who says it's not? No matter how strong Rongguang is, Manchester City's problems are huge and deep...Although Rongguang earns the highest salary in the world at Manchester City, looking at it now, it's really better to stay at Bayern Munich..."

"Don't talk nonsense, what's the good of staying at Bayern Munich? Bayern Munich made it clear that they don't want to keep him. I hope he goes to Manchester United or Chelsea..."

"I thought so too, but when Chelsea and Manchester United heard that Rong Guang had broken his leg, they immediately backed off... It's really unkind!"

"Well, my biggest complaint is Barcelona... It is said that Rongguang and Barcelona were close to signing. If he went to Barcelona, ​​the attack line formed by Messi...how terrifying it would be!"

A group of reporters sighed, people who didn't know thought Manchester City was going to lose again.

But you can't blame the reporters for throwing cold water. It can only be said that Manchester City themselves have completely defeated the "strong team" image they established in the transfer market in the first half of the season.Originally, Manchester City attacked everywhere in the transfer market, dug glory from Bayern Munich, snatched Berbatov from Manchester United, and won Robinho from Chelsea. Personal feeling is that a strong team that has always been ambitious is taking shape.

But a series of failures and invincibility made everyone realize that Manchester City is just a paper tiger.

Coupled with the recent [-]-round winless, everyone will sigh when they mention Manchester City. This has become a conditioned reflex.

Fans and media reacted calmly to City's lead, but Benitez was delighted.

After Berbatov's goal, he jumped from his seat, raised his arms and chanted, and then hugged his assistant Mark Bowen tightly.

The feeling of excitement is like Manchester City have won the game, rather than just leading by a goal...

In the first 10 minutes of the game, he also thought that Rong Guang would come by himself, because in the first 10 minutes of the game, Rong Guang always came by himself.

He still seems to carry the entire team on his shoulders.

Are your words not working?

He frowned, this is troublesome...

But now seeing this ball, he realizes that Rong Guang is really different from before!

For the ball just now, Benitez believed in Yi Rongguang's ability. Even if the Nottingham Forest players were all surrounded, he could still shoot the football through the crowd and had a high scoring rate.

It is not easy for top defensive players in Europe to keep their glory, let alone Nottingham Forest players.

So if he wants to shoot, no one can stop him.

But in such a situation, he passed the ball suddenly, he gave up his chance to score, and passed the ball to Berbatov who had a better chance than him...

This is typical of trusting your teammates.

He is trying to share the responsibility with his teammates. This is not avoiding responsibility. This is called learning to be a qualified leader...

In Benitez's heart, he hopes that Rongguang will be the leader of this team, not only the core of tactics, but also the person who can lead this team.This does not require him to wear the captain's armband, but he must have the consciousness of being a leader.

Now seeing Rongguang's transformation, he has more expectations for his coaching future in this team.

Since the Abu Dhabi consortium took over, although Manchester City has bought many capable players, it has never been called a "team".This is Benitez's view. He believes that Manchester City just put together a large group of players and then choose eleven people to play.

This is not considered as a whole, so what is the combat effectiveness?

To make the team into a real whole, there must be a key core, this core can firmly attract everyone, he must be a glue.

From Benitez's point of view, no one can play this role except Rong Guang.

First of all, it is naturally Rong Guang's super personal ability and the honors he has won, which convinced other Manchester City players.Many players in Manchester City's team are very proud. They earn a lot, and their strength is not bad. It is very rare for them to convince others from the bottom of their hearts. It is good that they do not look down on each other.But they must all admire Rongguang-Rongguang is a well-deserved number one star in terms of annual salary and worth, and has anyone in this Manchester City team won the World Footballer and the European Ballon d'Or?

On the other hand, Rongguang always has a strong sense of responsibility, which can be felt from the fact that he gritted his teeth and carried Manchester City on his shoulders for half a season.Rong Guang is a person with a strong sense of responsibility, and he is also very hardworking in training, which can become something that drives the whole team.

Robinho is also very capable, worth a lot, and famous, but he has no sense of responsibility, is unwilling to take responsibility, and has a bad attitude in training and games. Do you expect such a person to lead the team?Don't even think about it...

As for Berbatov's performance in this ball, he is also very satisfied.Some people may think that there was no one around to defend at that time, and it was very easy for the ball to go in.

But in fact there were no easy goals in the game, look at Robinho, he once faced an empty goal and couldn't score the ball.Not to mention Berbatov's ball is actually a test of basic skills.

He doesn't stop the ball, shoots directly against the football, and controls the arc and height of the football very well.When many players face such a ball, it is easy to push the football directly, but Berbatov does not, his technique is very good.

Benitez is very satisfied with Berbatov's state.

As long as Berbatov can continue this state, he believes that the Bulgarian striker will usher in an explosion.

At that time, he will definitely change the fans' perception and attitude towards him.

While Benítez hugged and celebrated with assistant manager Mark Bowen, next door to Nottingham Forest's dugout, Billy Davis wasn't bothered by his team's conceded goals.

He appeared very calm.

What happened to just throwing a ball?
In his original plan, this situation was taken into account.

After all, this is Manchester City's home court, and Manchester City is a Premier League team after all. Although the ranking is almost falling into the relegation zone...but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. How can they not score a goal at their home court?

From the very beginning, Billy Davis did not intend to directly eliminate Manchester City in this game, but planned to draw with Manchester City in the first round.Then according to the rules of the FA Cup, there will be another game after the two sides draw, this time at Nottingham Forest's home court.

However, if Manchester City did not win the first round, they would fall into the criticism of the media and the scolding of the fans, which would greatly affect their morale and confidence. They would start to doubt themselves. How could they have the mind to play the second round?
At that time, Nottingham Forest, which occupies the advantage of the home court, will completely defeat Manchester City, who is like a bereaved dog!
So while Manchester City's players were celebrating their goal, he quickly called his players and made arrangements.

Although the ball was lost, it is better not to attack rashly within 10 minutes of just losing the ball. At this time, the chance of equalizing the score is very small, but it is possible that after the attack, Rongguang will use the speed to expand the lead again.

In that case, Nottingham Forest would be hopeless.

It was just a goal conceded. Judging from past game experience, Manchester City has taken the lead in the game, but in the end they still failed to win the game. There is still time now, so there is no need to panic and attack across the board.

Rong Guang assisted Berbatov, although this is something that many people did not expect, but it is not too shocking.

After explaining, he returned to his coaching bench.

He looked up and looked around the stands. The stands of the Manchester City Stadium were relatively calm, and no one felt that this was the situation after scoring a goal. If it was in other teams' home courts, if the home team scored a goal, the stadium would definitely be like a volcano erupting.

But right now, Manchester City fans are quiet.

Look, that's why I dare to knock out Manchester City - their own people don't believe their team can win!
How sad!
