Chapter 847 Don't let go of any champion

"The FA Cup is the only competition that has a chance of winning the title and I don't want to pass up that opportunity."

Hearing what Rong Guang said, Berbatov realized that this was his chance.

Why did he come to Manchester City?
Besides making money, isn't it just to win the championship with Rong Guang?
There is no hope for the League Cup or the League, and now there is only the FA Cup... Rongguang doesn't want to give up, and he doesn't want to let go either!

Thinking of this, Berbatov walked out of the team and stood beside Rongguang.

"I'm not giving up either," he said.

Berbatov stood up and surprised the coaches of Manchester City's coaching staff on the opposite side-someone really supported Rongguang!And this person who supports Glory is Berbatov!

In the Manchester City team, the players also looked at the two men with complicated eyes, and some people were simply whispering.

As Rongguang's compatriot, Sun Hai didn't discuss with anyone. He walked out of the team and stood beside Rongguang: "I am also willing to do my part to fight for the championship."

With these two people taking the lead, more and more players stepped out of the team and stood beside and behind Rong Guang.

Some say, some remain silent.

But everyone voted with their feet and expressed their will.

They are all willing to fight side by side with Rong Guang, even if it will consume more energy for them and increase their risk of injury during the game.

But when the team's performance was not good, Rong Guang never worried about his possible injury, nor did he say to maintain his physical strength.

Now he wants to fight for a championship for the team, how can we stand by?
As Benitez said, we cannot be dragged along by glory.We can help him too!
The coaches of the coaching staff were very surprised. It is the collective decision of the coaching staff to let the substitute lineup play this game and play whatever they can.

I didn't expect the players to disagree...

They looked to coach Benitez.

He's the one who makes up his mind.

Benitez looked at the players standing behind and beside Rong Guang.He was a little surprised at first, but now he realizes that this is not what he expected to see?

He has always hoped to make Rong Guang a leader who can lead the team forward, but a leader is not something you can ask him to do, nor can anyone who wants to be a leader be able to be a leader. A leader must be able to convince the crowd, and everyone must be willing to follow you.

When you want to do something, everyone will support you, and that is considered a leader.

Now, when Rong Guang said that he didn't want to give up and wanted to compete for the FA Cup, the players all stood up to support him... Although he hasn't worn the captain's armband yet, he is already the leader of the team, and he deserves it!
That being the case, how can I pour cold water on them?

So he nodded and said: "Okay, then let's put the FA Cup championship in the goal."

Hearing what the head coach said, the players cheered for a while, as if they had won the confrontation with the coach.

Sun Hai patted Rong Guang's shoulder vigorously, and the shoulders of Rong Guang's shoulders all sank a little.

"Do you feel the weight?" Sun Hai asked Rong Guang with a smile. "When the word is spoken, it has to be done. Now you really have to take us to this championship."

Rong Guang smiled: "Could it still be fake? If I say it, I will definitely do it. This FA Cup champion... no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely get it! Don't worry, Brother Sun, I will not let you all down."

"You really have to agree with them?" Back in Benitez's office, assistant coach Mark Bowen wondered.

Abandoning the FA Cup was originally proposed by Benitez, and then he persuaded the entire coaching staff to become one of the team's strategies.

But now he overturned his previous plan.

"Why not?" Benitez said.

"But you also said you were concerned that playing in the FA Cup would take too much energy and make the players more prone to injury. You also said..."

"In the final sprint for the top four in the league, you can't stand mistakes. Yes, I said that, but Marc, now we have a great opportunity and I think we should take it," Benitez said.

"what chance?"

"If a team wants to become really strong, it must not be achieved simply by piling up those famous stars. This team must have combat effectiveness. First of all, they must be a collective and willing to work together for a goal. I saw this today. The whole team stood up to support Rong, and everyone was united."

Benitez continued: "Secondly, this team must have a champion's heart."

"The heart of a champion?"

"Yes, it is to have a heart that dares to compete for the championship, not just wanting the championship. I want the championship, and I must win the championship. These are two concepts. Rong and his teammates have shown us their determination today. I hope to give them a chance to prove that they are capable of winning the championship. A strong team is developed in the process of competing for the championship. Manchester City lacked such opportunities before, so such opportunities are precious. And I made a mistake before." I took this opportunity and completely ignored what it would do to the belief in the team... Fortunately, we have pride. He reminded me that when we have the opportunity to compete for the championship, then don't pass up this opportunity."

Mark Bowen was stunned when he heard that, and he recalled the scene on the training ground just now.

The scene where players came out one by one and stood behind and beside Rongguang... In the end, Rongguang's side has become the team. He is like a magnet, attracting other players to him and surrounding him.

That scene... really impressed him!

"...We did a random interview on the street. Many Manchester City fans are not interested in the next FA Cup semi-final. They prefer to rush to the league. They are very dissatisfied with the FA Cup semi-final before the next round of the league...I think I can understand the complaints of Manchester City fans. After all, the competition for the No. ..."

"It is said that Benitez has already planned to give up the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea. During the team training, many substitute players wore yellow vests that symbolize the main starting lineup... This choice is correct. Benitez is not overwhelmed by the current good situation... At such a critical moment, Manchester City really does not need to spend their extra experience in the FA Cup semi-final... Why did they work hard in the FA Cup before? Isn't it just to qualify for the UEFA Cup? But now they have a chance to compete for the Champions League qualification. Competing for the UEFA Cup qualification?"

……

Before the FA Cup semi-final match, the media reported that Benitez made the substitute players wear yellow vests, and the powerful media directly exposed the photos. There were pictures and truth, which made their analysis and judgment more convincing.

Judging from the confidence of all parties, Manchester City's abandonment of this FA Cup semi-final seems to be a certainty.

This is good news for Chelsea.

After losing 0-1 at home to Manchester City in the league, Hiddink was under tremendous pressure, and many people criticized his tactical choices in that game.

So Hiddink needs a chance for revenge, and secondly, he also needs a champion to prove himself when the hope of competing for the league title has become increasingly slim.

The FA Cup is his last chance.

If Manchester City is really not interested in the FA Cup, Chelsea will be much easier.

※※※

But to Hiddink's great disappointment... two hours before the start of the game, the media announced Manchester City's starting list, and almost all the main players of Manchester City started!

Except for some minor adjustments in a few positions, the main part has maintained the previous lineup.

It can be said that this Manchester City team can be regarded as the strongest lineup.

This is completely different from the pre-match media speculation...

Using this lineup to play in the semi-finals, one can imagine what Manchester City thinks-contrary to what the media predicted, they definitely will not want to give up this game.

Hiddink was also taken aback when he saw the starting list.

Then his first reaction was that Benitez was playing tricks again!

He let the substitute players wear yellow vests before, it must be to confuse himself!
But Hiddink really wronged Benitez...

Benitez really planned to give up this game at first...

It was only later that I changed my mind temporarily.

This result made Hiddink a little flustered.

He didn't mean that he believed the media's one-sided words, but that the results he obtained through his own experience analysis were exactly the same as those analyzed by the media.How could a coach like him let the media influence his thoughts?He also believes that it is impossible for Manchester City to do their best in this game.

He really didn't expect Manchester City to invest in the main lineup in the FA Cup semi-finals. They are not afraid of any accidents in the game that will affect their performance in the league?
Can Benitez still not be able to tell which is more important at this time?

What did he think?

Is the FA Cup title comparable to a Champions League qualification?

Even if Manchester City won the FA Cup in the end, so what?
Hiddink was puzzled, and could not understand why Benitez made such a decision anyway.

But whether he thinks it makes sense or not, he must now face Manchester City, which has exhausted its main force.

And this is what he doesn't want...
