When Manchester City players brought the UEFA Super Cup back to Manchester, half of the city was in full swing.

Manchester City fans all took to the streets to welcome the team back triumphantly.

They all feel that they are probably the happiest Manchester City fans in history. Because Manchester City has never brought so much happiness to their fans before.

They caught up with the best of times, which was Manchester City's golden age!

Since Glory came to Manchester City in 2008, three seasons have passed, Manchester City has won a FA Cup championship, two league championships, three community shield championships, one UEFA Champions League champions, and one UEFA Super Cup champion.

Manchester City has never won so many heavyweight championships so intensively in history.

They were shouting the names of every player and coach in Manchester City along the way, allowing them to fully feel the enthusiasm of the fans.

Manchester City players are also very happy.

Originally, after winning the Champions League, many of them lost their motivation. Now, looking at the scene in front of them, they think winning another Champions League championship is also a good choice...

I used to feel that I would have no motivation if I got the championship.

Now it seems, who would think there are too many champions?

If we have the ability to win ten championships, why only nine?

Although it will be harder to hit the championship than not winning the championship, we have honor, Ibrahimovic, Kaka, Sneijder... With these players, under their leadership, what can we not do?

After winning the European Super Cup, Manchester City players were disbanded directly after returning to England.

Next are two national team games.

Rongguang also returned to China and met with the national team to prepare for the top 20 matches of Singapore's first World Cup Asian qualifiers. The Chinese team played against Singapore at home.

Considering that Glory just ended the European Super Cup, he played many games in a row within a week, and he also had a long-distance flight, the jet lag has not yet fallen, his physical fitness and condition will definitely be affected, and Singapore is not a very powerful team.

So in this game, Gao Hongbo did not put Glory on the starting lineup.

However, he had already made it clear to Rongguang before he made this decision.

Although Rongguang felt that his body and condition were fine, what Gao Hongbo said made sense. He must trust his teammates and let them do it. Don’t let the team develop a mentality of relying on him.

So he accepted Gao Hongbo's decision to put him on the bench.

When Gao Hongbo announced the starting list of the Chinese team at the pre-match press conference, everyone was still a little surprised to find that Rongguang was not included.

Although everyone thinks that with Singapore's strength, Rongguang is not available. However, whether Rongguang starts has nothing to do with the weak opponent's strength.

With the desire to fight with Rongguang, how could he not have a starter?

Could it be that the continuous battles and long trips made him very tired?

Some people even have to guess whether Rongguang was injured during training after returning to China, which led to the inability to play against Singapore.

But Gao Hongbo just said that Rong Guang ran for a long distance and needed a rest.

His words were interpreted by the Singapore media as "because I think the opponent Singapore is not strong enough, the Chinese coach Gao Hongbo did not let Rong start."

With this interpretation, Gao Hongbo has become a proud and underestimated maniac in the eyes of Singapore fans and media.

Although Gao Hongbo does feel that Singapore will not let Rongguang play the game without even the jet lag, he is actually not considered underestimating the enemy, because his tactical arrangements in this game are still very serious. Besides, with the strength gap between the Chinese team and Singapore, even if there is no Rongguang and other main players, it is not considered underestimating the enemy, right? You must know that there is also Barcelona's main center Gao Lin in the Chinese team, Rongguang is the substitute, and he is the starter.

Why isn't this considered underestimating the enemy?

But the Singapore media seized this point and made a big fuss and hyped up China's despise.

"It seems normal for the new Asian Cup champion to look down on us... But I think this view is wrong. Football is round, and it is stupid to think that they should win. There is no game in the world that should win! If the Chinese team's ball thinks so, then we are happy to teach them a lesson at their home court!"

This article reveals the reason why Singapore media did this is actually to use the concept of "the Chinese team looks down on us" to arouse the fighting spirit of Singapore players.

In fact, the Singapore media is also very clear that in terms of strength, they are indeed weaker than the Chinese team, which is an objective existence. In addition, it is a away game, so if you want to make a plan, you can only start from the spiritual level.

On the one hand, I hope that the Chinese team really underestimates the enemy, and on the other hand, I hope that Singaporean players can be inspired to have endless fighting spirit, so as to use their strong spiritual power to smooth the strength gap between the two sides.

This match between the Chinese team and Singapore was played in Kunming, Yunnan. Kunming, as the home court of the plateau, is one of the home courts of the Chinese team.

In order to prepare for this game, the Chinese team came to Kunming two weeks in advance to start training. They did this to adapt to the plateau and avoid altitude sickness.

Because the Chinese team won the Asian Cup at the beginning of the year, the football atmosphere in China is very hot now.

The tickets for this game were already snatched away when the scalpers offered high prices.

Kunming's Tuodong Stadium was full during the game.

Everyone hopes to witness the Chinese team having a refreshing victory at home. Before the game, CCTV interviewed fans who came to watch the game on site, and some fans even stretched out their fingers, meaning that the Chinese team will beat Singapore 10:0.

Although they have some regrets that Rongguang cannot start, they are all fans of the Chinese team, and they are here to support the Chinese team.

However, after the game began, the situation did not follow the trajectory that China had imagined for fans.

The performance of the Chinese team with superior strength after the start of the game did not give them the feeling of being very strong.

Although there were some opportunities, they were all wasted.

However, Singapore's resolute defensive counterattack tactics received miraculous effects in the 33rd minute. Their forward Juric used the counterattack to open the Chinese team's goal in the 33rd minute, breaking the deadlock on the court!

"The Chinese team lost the ball...Oh!" Liu Hong, who was in charge of commenting on this game, was surprised and disappointed.

His tone also reflects the feelings of fans across the country at this time.

No one expected that the Chinese team would concede the goal first!

"The Chinese players underestimate the enemy, which has led to a delay in getting into the state after the game begins!"

※※※

Gao Hongbo on the sidelines was also very depressed about the concealment of the ball. He really didn't expect that the Chinese team, which had only glory but was not on the market, would actually fall behind Singapore with one goal at home!

What the hell is this kicking!

Now he is under tremendous pressure.

If the Chinese team is unable to tie the score for a long time, his decision to let Rongguang not start will definitely be brought out by the media to discuss it after the game, and attacks and criticisms of him will definitely be indispensable.

Logically speaking, at this time, Gao Hongbo just needs to change Rongguang. But Gao Hongbo doesn't want to do this. He doesn't think his approach is wrong. He firmly believes that a team cannot rely on just one person, and this is also the consensus between Rongguang and him. Therefore, in the Asian Cup, Rongguang will work so hard to lead the entire team.

Since the direction is correct, you must persist even if you walk a little slower.

Gao Hongbo still hopes to rely on his players on the court to solve the problem instead of simply changing to glory. Although he can win the game, it is too simple and rough.

He glanced at Rongguang, and Rongguang, who was sitting on the sidelines, frowned after conceding the ball, but he did not come to him to ask for the game.

Don't be impatient...

Gao Hongbo said to himself in his heart.

Let's wait, the first half is not over yet...

※※※

As a result, until the end of the first half, the Chinese team was unable to equalize the score. Some fans had booed in the stands. Although it was still sporadic, this was not a good sign.

If it continues to drag on, when fans boo more and more, the psychology of Chinese players will be disturbed. At that time, they will be more impatient. At that time, they will have to replace the glory in order to equalize the score.

>That was a complete failure.

During the halftime break, the anxious players kept saying that their eyes were on Rongguang, as if they wanted Rongguang to take the initiative to stand up or let the head coach replace Rongguang.

Gao Hongbo naturally took their little moves, but he did not intend to do what they wanted.

He even told everyone directly: "I will never let Glory play before you take the lead."

Everyone looked at Rongguang in surprise. Rongguang sat in his position with a blank expression and did not object to the head coach's arrangement.

"If you can't even win in Singapore, do you still want to go to the World Cup? What are you doing there? Is it embarrassing? We went to the World Cup in 2002, but so what? After the game, Chinese football became a laughing stock in the world!" Gao Hongbo was a little excited. "Think about how we got the Asian Cup? Are you a group of borers who only enjoy the fruits of victory? Do you want everyone to say that victory and glory are obtained through glory?"

※※※

During the intermission, a discussion was held in the studio behind CCTV. Everyone felt that Gao Hongbo should replace Rongguang at this time. The facts proved that he made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, so now we must make up for this mistake.

If the Chinese team does not change to play, I am afraid that the Chinese team will collapse in the second half.

In the rear studio of Singapore TV, Singapore football experts and hosts were happy about the team's performance in the first half. However, the only thing they are worried about now is that Gao Hongbo made a substitution during the halftime break.

Swap the glory on the field.
Chapter completed!
