Chapter 63 Overcome?
That night, Rongguang had a meal with Schweinsteiger, Ram, and Ribery.
The four of them talked about their respective lives during the meal.
Then somehow, I talked about Luo himself.
Schweinsteiger complained about Robben, believing that as a newcomer to the team, he has been very proud since he came to the team and was determined to steal Ribery's core position. He stood up for Ribery.
However, Ribery was very indifferent to this matter, and he didn't take Robben seriously at all.
Rongguang knew why Ribery had such a reaction.
He obviously found his own way, so he was full of confidence.
Be confident that Robben will not be stolen from his core position.
After the four of them had supper, they dispersed. Schweinsteiger and others were going to return to the hotel, and Rong Guang also wanted to go home.
However, everyone has already discussed the next dinner in Munich, and who will lose or treat him.
※※※
When Rong Guang drove home, the whole of Manchester had already begun to discuss the game that had just ended.
Manchester City actually defeated Bayern Munich at home and was not at a disadvantage in the field, which really made many people completely unexpectedly before the game.
"...In a just-concluded Champions League group stage, Manchester City beat Bayern Munich at home Bl, and Manchester City also had the opportunity to expand the score at one point.
"Manchester City beat Bayern Munich, which was surprising and very easy to beat."
"…After the game, Van Gaal admitted his tactical mistakes. Rong was too active on the wing, but he lacked the means to curb him... This may be the main reason for the loss."
The excited Manchester City fans left the stadium, but did not go back to their own homes, but flocked to various bars. After the team won the game, they naturally had to go to the bar to indulge in celebration.
Kiren Reesville and his father, Old Reesville, were among them. They came to a bar near their home, a common one that Old Reesville visited. Everyone here knew them and were Manchester City fans.
Today, the bar was also particularly lively, and everyone gathered together and talked enthusiastically about the game that had just ended.
Manchester City's first official game to return to the Champions League for the first time after thirty-nine years was such a beautiful victory, which made everyone very excited.
Kiren's previous goal was to become a professional player, so he was very self-disciplined in drinking and did not drink. But today he also asked for a beer.
It’s not that he feels happy because the team won the ball, but because he has no chance to be a professional player now. Since he can’t be a professional player, he can drink...
He watched his father chatting excitedly with his old friends about the game that had just ended, and about the performance of every Manchester City player, especially the glorious ones. Will everyone give out all kinds of praise and praise the performance of glory?
"He is like God, omnipotent Robben was so arrogant in the first half. Once Rong passed, he immediately became silent. This is the deterrent force."
"That's right, so when the club spent 80 million pounds to buy Rong, I didn't think it was expensive at all... Compared with Rong's performance, 80 million is simply too cheap."
“Haha, that’s too cheap”
After laughing, everyone drank the beer in their hands and then shouted loudly, asking the boss to add more.
Although Kiren was also happy about the team's victory, he was not that excited and thought more.
Manchester City performed so well in this game, defeating Bayern Munich. Will this make other opponents pay more attention to us?
Kieren believes that Bayern Munich's loss in this game also has some reasons for underestimating the opponent. Otherwise, how could Van Gaal rule out a formation like 32?
But after this game, teams including Bayern Munich will no longer underestimate Manchester City. If the opponent goes all out, how much chance of winning will Manchester City still have?
He is really conflicted now... He is happy for the team to win, but he is worried that the team's performance after winning will attract the attention of the opponent, making it difficult for the team to win again in the future...
When he thought of this, he felt that the victory of this game might not be a good thing.
Seeing those Manchester City fans celebrating the victory of this game, he felt that they were really short-sighted...
※※※
The reports released the next day seemed to prove Kieran Reesville's concerns.
He saw Van Gaal's praise for Manchester City in the newspaper after the game, and his heart skipped a beat.
Van Gaal is obviously not kind to praise Manchester City
His words were equivalent to pre-warning the other teams.
But what makes Kieren even more desperate is that Benitez's reply... Benitez actually claimed that it was natural for the team to defeat Bayern Munich, because Manchester City is a strong team and the goal is to qualify in the group.
Kiren was almost crazy, he hugged his head with both hands - Boss, how could you say that? The other party dug a hole for us, and you just jumped down like that?
How could you be fooled by the other party?
You should be low-key and modest
You should try not to attract other opponents' attention
Kiren Resville couldn't understand why such a calm head coach, Benitez, made such a low-level mistake.
Has he been so proud after defeating Bayern Munich at home?
Do you think that since Manchester City can beat Manchester City now, it can defeat any team in the world?
When encountering such a proud head coach, Kieron suddenly didn't dare to be optimistic about Manchester City's performance in the Champions League group stage this season.
※※※
Kieren Resville is worried about the team's future, but there is no such emotion within Manchester City.
What Benitez said in an interview boosted morale.
When he came to the team again, Manchester City players looked at him with a clear different look.
The head coach praised them and trusted them so much, which also touched the team.
Benitez noticed this and thought to himself that it was a risk. If he had chosen another way of dealing with it, perhaps the team would have lost morale if they won the ball...
And now?
Morale is high
The league will also benefit from this.
Because next is the same city derby between Manchester City and Manchester United
The team is now in a high morale, so it will be relatively easier to play Manchester United.
Manchester United also played a Champions League group stage last night, but they played away and flew quite far - they went to Türkiye to challenge Besiktas away.
In the end, Manchester United scored a goal from Scholes and was in the away game with Besiktas.
In order to prepare for the same-city derby on the weekend, Manchester United did not spend the night in Türkiye, but flew back overnight. Then Ferguson gave the team a half-day vacation. Everyone can sleep in in the morning and come to train again in the afternoon.
Make every effort to prepare for the match against Manchester City.
Against the backdrop of Manchester City's Bl defeating Bayern Munich, Ferguson dared not underestimate Manchester City.
Manchester City is in a good momentum now. They have defeated Arsenal and Bayern Munich in succession, and Ferguson is not allowed to be cautious.

After Cristiano Ronaldo left, the smell of gunpowder was not as strong as before.
Because no one compared Cristiano Ronaldo to Glory again, this made the sense of confrontation weaker.
But this is a city derby after all, and it is impossible to treat it as a normal game.
So before the game the media still made the game atmosphere hot.
After all, in addition to the relationship between the same city derby, the two sides still have a grudge.
In the second half of last season, Manchester United was double-killed by Manchester City in the league and FA Cup finals. They lost the FA Cup and failed to become the double champion.
The new season has just begun, and in the Community Shield, Manchester City once again defeated Manchester United.
These new and old hatreds are together, and this game will definitely be lively.
At the pre-match press conference, everyone smelled gunpowder.
A reporter asked Ferguson at a pre-match press conference that Manchester City had just won their first victory in the Champions League and whether this would put pressure on Manchester United in this game.
Ferguson said with disdain: "Only a team that has not participated in the Champions League for 40 years will take the victory of a game seriously."
The implication is that Manchester City is a country bumpkin, she has never seen the world, and she is so incompatible with winning a Champions League group stage. Manchester United has won three Champions League champions.
Ferguson really looks down on Manchester City, it's just his psychological tactics.
By despising your opponent, you will arouse your opponent's disgust, make your opponent angry, and thus lose your mind.
This is Ferguson's usual starter.
He once successfully angered Kevin Keegan, causing Newcastle United led by Keegan to lose in the championship battle with Manchester United.
That's simply classic.
Now he wants to do the same thing and anger Manchester City. Even if he can't anger Benitez, he can be able to anger Manchester City players.
But Benitez is not afraid of being irritated now.
Because he knew very well that after he eavesdropped on the sound in the locker room, anger would no longer make Manchester City lose its calmness and combat effectiveness.
At the pre-match press conference, facing Ferguson's provocation, Benitez said: "I don't think it's embarrassing. We are happy after working hard for our goals and becoming the target. If someone thinks this is wrong, it must be not our problem, but his problem."
His words were not fierce, but his attitude was very tough.
There is no intention of giving in at all.
His answer also surprised the media - it is rare for Benitez to make such a tough statement. In the past, when he encountered such provocations, he would choose to deal with them in a low-key manner...
They recalled Benitez's speech after the Champions League group stage ended.
Haven't this script been replaced yet?
