Chapter 898 Captain?

When Rong Guang entered Benitez's office, he was a little surprised to find that Dunn was there.

He originally thought that Benitez was talking to him alone, but he didn't expect that there was another person in the office.

At the same time, in the future between himself and Dunn, Rong Guang couldn't figure out what Benitez wanted to talk to him about.

Dunn nodded to him, Rong Guang returned the salute with a smile, and then turned his attention to the head coach Benitez.

Seeing that both of them had arrived, Benitez didn't ramble about it first, that's not his style of speaking.

He cut to the chase, stared at Rong Guang and asked, "Rong, I asked you here to ask you... Would you like to take over the captain's armband on Dun En's arm?"

Rong Guang was stunned for a moment, but he quickly turned his gaze to Dunn again.

"I've already talked to the boss, Rong." Dunn also looked at Rong Guang and explained. "I think you are a very good candidate for captain."

Benitez took over the topic and continued: "Actually, as early as last season, Dunn approached me and hoped to give you his captain's armband, but I thought the main task at that time was the top four in the league, not who would be the captain, so I rejected him. But now I think the time is ripe, so I want to discuss this issue with you. Are you willing to be the captain of the team?"

After finishing speaking, both of them turned their heads to look at Rong Guang.

Waiting for his answer.

Dunn was a little nervous.

What if Rong Guang refuses to agree?
Benitez had told him very frankly before that after Lucio came to the team, his main position was gone, and he would appear more often on the bench as a substitute.

The team's second captain is Sun Hai, but Sun Hai will also become a substitute after the new season.

What about the third captain...

Just when Dun En thought of the third captain, he heard Rong Guang say, "This...I need to think about it. I can't give you an answer right now, boss."

"Okay, no problem." Benitez nodded and said, as if he had expected what Rong Guang would say.

And Dunn breathed a sigh of relief—although he didn't directly agree, but he didn't directly refuse either. There is always hope.

After finishing talking about the captain, Dunn left first, and only Rong Guang and Benitez were left in the office.

"There's something I want to thank you for, Ron," Benitez said after it was just the two of them in the office.

Rong Guang was stunned again, he didn't quite understand what the head coach said suddenly.

"Well, Lucio." Seeing that Rong Guang was puzzled, Benitez explained it plainly.

Hearing Lucio's name, Rong Guang suddenly realized.

"Hey, that's easy for me, I asked him if he wanted to come to Manchester City, but I didn't expect him to choose Manchester City in the end..." Rong Guang waved his hand, not taking credit.

"But no matter what, he chose Manchester City because of you. I talked to him. The conditions we offered are almost the same as what Inter Milan offered him. In terms of money, we are not superior to Inter Milan. In terms of honor and history, we are not as good as Inter Milan. It can only be because of you that he can refuse Inter Milan and choose us."

This time Rong Guang scratched his head and didn't speak.

"Speaking of which, as far as I know, at least three people in the team are here for you..." Benitez said. "Robinho is said to have decided to join after watching your first Premier League game in Manchester City, but Lucio will not mention it. In addition, David Silva came to Manchester City because of you... Thinking about the charity match that just ended, you are really popular in football. So I am thinking about a question... Are you familiar with Sneijder?"

"Huh?" Rong Guang didn't react.

Benitez said so many words of praise and emotion before, Rong Guang never thought that such a sentence would come out in the end.

"Uh, I don't know him..." Rong Guang shook his head after recovering.

"Oh, that's it..." The regret in Benitez's tone can be clearly heard.

But Rong Guang can't do anything, he really doesn't know Sneijder.

And he was very surprised why the boss suddenly asked him if he knew Sneijder. This thought jumped too fast, right?

※※※

Back home in the afternoon, Deborah asked Rong Guang how he felt today.

"Very good, passed the physical examination. But..." Rong Guang frowned.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Rong Guang's expression, Deborah asked.

"Uh... Benitez suddenly called me to his office today and asked me if I would like to be the captain of the team..."

"To be captain?" Deborah asked back, "What do you think?"

"I don't know. I told him that I was thinking about it. I'm thinking about it right now..." Rong Guang frowned.

"Do you want to be captain, Ron?" Deborah asked.

Rong Guang looked up at Deborah.

The captain knows what to do, what needs to be done, and Rong Guang. He has been in a professional team for so many years, no matter how obsessed he is with training, he doesn't even understand the most basic things, right?
So he knew what responsibilities the captain had to shoulder and what the captain should do.

Of course, these are all his own observations, and he has never had the idea of ​​"what would I do if I were the captain" before.

So when Deborah suddenly asked him this question, he couldn't give an answer right away.

Then he fell into thought.

do i want to do it

I haven't even thought about it, so I don't want to?
"No, I don't want to be captain."

"Too much trouble?" Deborah asked.

"Uh... no, I never thought about being the captain, so..."

"So just because you don't think about it, doesn't mean you don't want to. Rong, let me ask you, what do you think about the contract period in Manchester City for the past few years? Do you plan to play here until the contract expires and then go to another team? Or stay if possible?"

"Didn't I say it? To prove their choices are wrong in Manchester City, to help Manchester City win many championships, help Manchester City rise..." Rong Guang felt strange, these words were all said at the ceremony of joining Manchester City, and spread all over the world, it is impossible for Deborah not to know.

Deborah nodded: "So, why don't you complete this matter as the captain? Shouldn't you be a leader? Who else do you want to pass the responsibility on to?"

Rong Guang was left speechless by Deborah's counter-question. He opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

That's right, he wants to make Manchester City a giant and lead Manchester City to rise, but why doesn't he want to be the captain and wear the armband?
Deborah stopped talking, got up and went to do her work, leaving Rong Guang sitting there alone thinking about what Deborah said.

When it was time to eat dinner, he said to Deborah: "I figured it out, accepted the captain's armband and became the captain of the team. But there is one more strange thing..."

"what happened?"

"Benitez asked me to go to his office today. There is one more thing...he asked me if I knew Sneijder well. I wonder why he suddenly asked me this..."

Rong Guang was very confused, but as a manager, Deborah knew what Benitez wanted to do as soon as she heard it.

She is much clearer than Rong Guang about the recent transfer market.

"He wants to bring in Sneijder. Sneijder is having conflicts with Real Madrid recently. Real Madrid wants to sell him..."

"Then just ask Manchester City to make an offer."

"If only it were that simple. Real Madrid wanted to sell Sneijder, but Sneijder himself didn't want to leave, so the two sides were deadlocked. If Sneijder wanted to leave, he could leave at any time. I think Benitez came to you and asked this question, maybe he wanted you to persuade Sneijder to join Manchester City..."

"Then he should ask Robinho." Rong Guang said helplessly, spreading his hands.

Robinho only transferred from Real Madrid last year, after which he was teammates with Sneijder in Real Madrid.If you want to be a lobbyist, Robinho is obviously more suitable than Rongguang.

"He probably thinks you have more face. Look at that charity match, how many stars you invited over. Maybe your personal relationship with Sneijder is better than that of Robinho and Sneijder?" Deborah said with a smile.

"How is this possible... I can't help you...Let the club figure it out." Rong Guang shrugged.

He was able to persuade Lucio to join Manchester City because he and Lucio had been teammates, and the relationship between the two was not bad, otherwise he would not be able to persuade him, and he would not do such a thing.

The next day, Benitez was delighted to hear that Rong Guang told him that he was willing to take Dunn's captain's armband and become the team's first captain.

If Rong Guang disagreed, he would never force anything.In his view, a leader must have self-consciousness, and only a self-conscious leader can become a good leader, so it must be what Rong Guang wants.

So before the training session, Benitez announced the decision to the team.

"From now on, Rong will be the team's first captain and take over Dunn's captain's armband on the court."

After Benitez finished speaking, Dunn took the lead in applauding, and the other players followed suit.

This decision is not surprising to them. If Rong Guang is not qualified to be the captain, then this team is not qualified.

Everyone saw Rongguang's performance last season. In the end, Manchester City was able to achieve results that exceeded expectations entirely because of him.

He deserves to be the captain.Although Rong Guang is not the kind of person who talks a lot and is good at inciting his teammates, there will be no one who will not listen to his words.

His prestige is not brought by forming cliques, nor is he obtained by entertaining guests.He rarely treats guests to dinner and parties, and he does not form a party with anyone for personal gain. He focuses all his energy on training every day, but he will be the most convincing captain in the Manchester City team.

His prestige is obtained by saving the team one by one when the team is most critical.

Who dares to question Rong Guang?

People have tried their best to turn the tide so many times, you can do it!
