Chapter 827 Changes Are Happening
After Robinho scored a goal in the game, his attitude was also very correct in the next training, and Benitez can finally breathe a sigh of relief.This proves that Robinho did not feel complacent just because he scored a goal, nor did he think that his position was stable just because he scored a goal. He was still working very hard.

That's what Benitez wants.

At the same time, it also proved that Rongguang really has the ability to change the attitude of those around him.

Such a leader is more useful than yelling ten thousand words at the top of his lungs.

As the training time increased, the team's understanding of Benitez's tactics became deeper and deeper.

周末的联赛No.20二轮曼城在主场1：0击败了维冈。而上半赛季，他们可是在客场1：2不敌维冈的。

It is a good sign that Manchester City can win the opponent that they could not win last season.

And after eleven consecutive league rounds without a win, Manchester City can finally start a winning streak, which is also a good sign.

※※※

After playing Wigan, Manchester City will challenge Derby County away in two days.

This is an FA Cup round of [-].

Because the interval was too short, Benitez did not use the starting lineup from the previous game in this game.

Some players were rotated out of the starting lineup.

However, some people did not move, such as Rong Guang, such as Robinho and Berbatov.

Since the last game, Manchester City's offensive trident has taken shape. For them, what they lack most now is to cultivate tacit understanding in the game and accumulate experience in cooperation. Therefore, the more games of this kind, the better. Benitez can't let them rest. He will definitely seize every opportunity to cultivate their tacit understanding.

Besides, Manchester City has no European competition this season, so they don’t need to be distracted in the European arena. The League Cup was eliminated early, and now only the FA Cup and the League can be played. The FA Cup is a single elimination system, not a two-leg elimination system.

Therefore, there is no need to consider the issue of two-line combat.

If it weren't for the fact that this game is too close to the league, Benitez might not even do the rotation.

This season, Manchester City can concentrate on domestic competitions without consuming too much physical strength, and their physical strength reserves are sufficient.

What the team needs this season is grades, grades are very important, and sacrificing physical fitness for grades is a good deal.

In order to ensure the stability of the team's performance, Benitez will definitely try to use the most powerful lineup to play.This is why he emphasized that he only looks at the training attitude to obtain the places in the starting lineup?
Whether a player is strong or not does not simply depend on the player's previous achievements and performance, but on the current performance, and training is very important in this.Players who have trained well, can meet his requirements, and can adapt to his tactics can be regarded as "excellent". Otherwise, no matter how well they played before, it doesn't matter to Benitez.

Not every player can perfectly adapt to different tactics. His Xianzi's tactics naturally need to find players who can match them, otherwise the tactics will not be able to give full play to their effects.

Against Derby County, according to the media, Manchester City only deployed half of the main lineup.

However, they still won the away game.

Rong Guang's goal in the 703rd minute helped the team beat Derby County by one goal and advance to the top [-].

It was also his second goal in the FA Cup.

It is worth mentioning that the person who assisted Rongguang was... Robinho.

If we say that in the game against Portsmouth, 90.00% of the credit for Robinho's goal should be credited to Rong Guang, and the series of speed breakthroughs before Rong Guang is the essence of that goal, then 80.00% of the credit for his goal in this FA Cup match should be credited to Robinho.

At that time, it was a positional battle, Derby County shrank the defense, and Manchester City did not have a good chance. At this time, the football fell to Robinho's feet. At this time, his delicate skills were brought into play. In front of the traditional British players, Robinho twisted his body, slippery like a loach, so that Derby County's defensive players could not catch him at all.

Then he took advantage of the chaos to divide the football, followed by Rong Guang and blasted the football into the goal, scoring the only goal of the game.

Derby County insisted on a defensive tactic for more than 70 minutes... just like this, they were defeated by the personal ability of Manchester City's star players.

When Rong Guang scored a goal, even Alan Hansen had to marvel at Robinho's wonderful performance before, admitting that this is the charming light shining out of a talented player.Although he doesn't like Robinho's game attitude, Robinho's talent cannot be denied.

And the happiest is Benitez.

Regardless of his first FA Cup game, he excluded Robinho from the squad, but in fact he values ​​Robinho very much, because Robinho's skills and talents are what the team needs. In an environment like the Premier League, a team like Robinho can often provide Manchester City with a new way of thinking about solving problems.

this point is very important.

Both Rongguang and Robinho are players who are good at breakthroughs, but their characteristics are different. If they always rely on Rongguang's breakthroughs, then the team's offensive methods will be too single.Robinho has to play a part in the team.

That's why he was so hard on Robinho, because a lazy Robinho is worthless.

Seeing Robinho's performance in this goal now, he seems to have seen the future where Robinho will use his technical breakthroughs to shake away the opponent's defensive players time and time again...

Robinho himself is also very happy, this is the real himself!This way of kicking makes him very comfortable, instead of being awkward no matter how he kicks like before.

Brazilian players are easy to be encouraged, as long as he feels he is playing well, he will be in good shape.

Robinho doesn't think about how Benitez treated him before, as long as he is allowed to participate in the game and play like this, he will be very happy.

After playing the FA Cup, it's the league.

Manchester City welcomes Newcastle United at home.

Newcastle United used to be considered a strong team, but their performance this season is not good. Like Tottenham Hotspur, they should have been a traditional upper-middle team, and they are capable of competing for the UEFA Cup qualification.

But this season has been terrible.

Tottenham Hotspur currently ranks No.17, while Newcastle United ranks No.15.

Manchester City should have been on the same level as them.

But today's Manchester City has changed in terms of mentality. After winning four consecutive games in the FA Cup and the league, Manchester City's players are full of confidence and morale is high.

Facing Newcastle United, Manchester City did not feel sympathetic.

They played a hearty game at home.

This game was generally rated by the media after the game as the best home game Manchester City has played so far this season.

From the first minute of the game, the rhythm fell into Manchester City's control.

The performance of the trident in the frontcourt is particularly outstanding.

No. In the 201st minute, Berbatov received a cross from Elano in the penalty area. After stopping the ball in his chest, he turned around and shot, hitting the football from the goalkeeper's crotch.

The goal was beautifully scored and ignited the passion of the home fans.

"Berbatov! This goal is so cool! People ridiculed him for not running actively during the game. He didn't even wet his jersey after a game, and gave him a nickname: 'Brother Chic'. But he scored this goal very chicly! In the crowded penalty area, he stopped the ball with his chest, then turned around and shot. The movement was so smooth and stretched that Newcastle's defensive players didn't react at all!"

The Manchester City fans at the scene also cheered after Berbatov's goal, but they were not just shouting a goal, they were shouting...Berbatov's name!
Hearing such cheers, Berbatov also waved to the fans in the stands. Although the expression on his face was not too excited, he was actually very happy in his heart.

Because he heard those fans shouting his name.

You have to know how these fans treated him when he joined in the first place?

At the press conference when he joined the team, he held a banner outside and protested loudly against his joining!
His relationship with City fans was bad from the start.

Because of this, he is really excited to hear the City fans chanting his name now - there is a change happening between him and the fans that Berbatov wants to see.

Although there are only a few Manchester City fans who shout his name, and the shouts are sporadic, for Berbatov, this is also a very welcome change, and some changes are better than no changes.

Although the voice is still very sparse, but Berbatov looked at those fans, but his heart is full of confidence.He thought that as long as he continued to behave like this, there would always be more and more voices cheering for him and calling his name, until finally... His name resounded throughout the audience!

After Berbatov scored, Manchester City took advantage of the victory to pursue.

Before the end of the first half, Rong Guang used a long shot from outside the penalty area to blast the football into Newcastle United's goal for the second time.

"2:0! Manchester City had a two-goal lead before the end of the first half! If it was Manchester City before, then I can say that even if they lead by two goals, it doesn't mean that Manchester City can win! But now, after watching this first half, I can say...Manchester City has already sealed the victory! There are 45 minutes left in the second half, but Manchester City has firmly grasped the rhythm of the game...They absolutely cannot lose to a team like Newcastle!"

John Mortensen's words were sure to upset those Newcastle United fans who weren't there.

But look at the performance of Newcastle United, they can't help but Mortensen is right.

Once upon a time, Manchester City fans must have felt the same way as Newcastle United fans.

But now, Manchester City fans can finally temporarily get rid of this painful feeling that makes them angry and helpless.

The Manchester City fans in the stands, for the first time this season, watched their own team's game, and felt a sense of security from the bottom of their hearts.
