Chapter 131 The first game in twenty-two days

The Champions League draw is over and the league will continue, and it will not be postponed because of the entangled mentality of Manchester City fans.

On March 21, in the 31st round of the league, Manchester City challenged Fulham away.

This is an ordinary league game, and even if it is in the same round, it is inconspicuous.

However, this game still attracted many reporters to the scene. Judging from the number of reporters who went to the scene to report, the number of reporters attracted in this game was second in the entire league, second only to Manchester United's "England National Derby" where Liverpool was hosted by Manchester United at home.

Why are so many people paying attention to this game?

The game between Manchester United and Liverpool is easy to say. The grudges and hatreds of the two teams have been entangled for a century. This is the top derby battle in the English League, which is equivalent to England's Real Madrid playing Barcelona.

Manchester City and Fulham did not have any hatred before, and there was no story worth telling in the history of the confrontation between the two teams.

Why are so many people following?

Because this is the first game of the "Manchester City collapse period" that everyone agrees in their hearts.

Manchester City challenged Fulham away.

Everyone wants to see what performance Manchester City will perform in this game.

They can use this to speculate on what Manchester City will perform next.

At the same time, everything that happened in this game may have an immeasurable impact on all the games that followed Manchester City.

Since Manchester United and Liverpool had just finished their match before Manchester City played away, the whole of England can now turn their attention to the Craven Farm Stadium in Fulham.

The result of Manchester United's match against Liverpool was that Manchester United beat Liverpool 2l at home.

Manchester United is now 69 points, three points away from Chelsea, the second in the league.

If you look at it this way, they are very close to Chelsea...

When everyone turned their attention to the league championship battle between Chelsea and Manchester City, Manchester United had already caught up quietly.

Liverpool, who won the runner-up last season and was incredibly glorious, has plummeted this season, and they are now ranked seventh.

In the game against Fulham, Benitez made some adjustments to the starting lineup.

He rotated in some positions, which made sure all players remained in the game while the main players were not too tired.

In 22 days, seven games are needed to prepare for the future, rather than focusing all your efforts on the last game.

With the attention of countless pairs of eyes, the match between Manchester City and Fulham began.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester City took the lead in the away game and launched a fierce offensive against Fulham's goal.

When dealing with a team like Chelsea, Manchester City can choose to counterattack defensively because Chelsea is very strong. But when facing Fulham, Manchester City does not need to counterattack defensively, and even if they want to counterattack defensively, they cannot fight, because it is the opponent who fights defensively, not them.

They have to press on.

The first fifteen minutes of the game were pretty calm, and Manchester City had the upper hand, but there were not many chances of scoring that were absolutely good.

Fifteen minutes later, Manchester City accelerated the pace of the game, both offense and defense, and it was more oppressive, giving Fulham players much less space and time.

Under such circumstances, Manchester City's chances of gaining begin to increase.

In the 33rd minute, Manchester City cut Fulham's ball through a series of pressing in the midfield and then launched an attack.

Berbatov threw Sabalet's cross to the back point, and the glory of the encirclement of the back point jumped up and rushed to the top, and the football came into the net.

"The goal was scored by Manchester City and led Fulham 0 away. It was Rong who scored the goal."

After scoring the goal, Rong Guang hugged and celebrated with his teammates. The camera took the time to give the Manchester City fans in the stands a shot. Manchester City fans who followed the team to the away game were also singing and dancing in the stands.

"As long as Rong is here, Manchester City fans can put half of their hearts," said Alan Hansen. "Can Manchester City pass through the devil's schedule during this period? Rong is also a very important figure..."

The TV broadcast immediately gave Rong Guang a close-up.

Yes, whether Manchester City wants to win the league championship or pass this level of Barcelona, ​​glory is a crucial figure.

His form and performance directly determine Manchester City's final results this season.

The most nervous part of this period should be Benitez. On the one hand, he hopes that Rongguang will perform well, and on the other hand, he has to be wary of the possibility of Rongguang being injured. After all, the competition is too dense, Rongguang is the core of the team's core, and the possibility of being violated in the game is very high.

So even though Manchester City has taken the lead, Benitez is still standing on the sidelines and staring at the stadium.

On the one hand, he cares about the score and on the other hand, he cares about the glory.

During this period, Glory must not be hurt.

Also staring at the glory was Sun Fengyang on the bench of the away team at Craven Farm Stadium.

As a private physiotherapist of Glory, Glory's health is his goal.

The last time Rongguang was seriously injured, he was scolded by his grandfather.

Since then, he never dared to let anything happen to Glory.

Glory is in excellent condition, so there will be no less fouls against him.

In fact, there is a statistics in the Premier League now, Rongguang is the most violated among all Premier League players.

After this number came out, it was surprising because although everyone knew that glory was always violated, they did not expect that he could stand out in the number of violations.

Because they were violated the most times in the Premier League, Sun Fengyang also paid special attention.

After each game, he has to massage Rongguang. Manchester City also knows very well what Sun Fengyang means to Rongguang, and what a healthy Rongguang means to Manchester City.

So they signed a contract with Sun Fengyang, making him a member of Manchester City's coaching staff, but in fact he did not obey anyone's arrangements, and even head coach Benitez had no right to let Sun Fengyang do a job that was not within his work scope.

So what is a job within his scope of work?

It is to ensure that Glory will not experience serious injuries during long-term high-intensity competitions and training.

Simply put, it is to make Rongguang appear on the starting list as much as possible in every game.

Because Rongguang is given massage after each game, for convenience, Sun Fengyang entered the coaching seat. Only those who entered the coaching seat can appear on the coaching seat.

Manchester City opened a green channel for Sun Fengyang.

However, considering the contribution and importance of Glory to the team, no one will object to such special treatment within Manchester City.

If they are dissatisfied with Sun Fengyang's skillful massage after every game and every training class, then think about whether their efforts on the training ground are more glorious and whether their contributions in the competition are more glorious.

Of course, it is impossible, so it is impossible for someone to feel unbalanced.

Sun Fengyang usually keeps staring at Rongguang during the competition, observing his running posture, and judging Rongguang's physical condition from every detail of his movements.

If Rong Guang's health is not good, he will urgently give some relaxing massage during the intermission.

Of course, Rongguang itself will also have some preventive measures.

Since that serious injury, Rongguang has now also developed a strong sense of self-protection.

However, his self-protection awareness does not mean that the ball is 55. When the opponent rushed up, he jumped up to avoid it. Instead, facing this 55-star ball, Rongguang will increase his speed a little further, and strive to snatch the opponent to come and poke the ball away directly.

This is the countermeasure of Glory, which makes yourself faster and more agile, so that your opponent can't catch him at all.

So although Rong Guang now violates his hands many times and often falls on the court for two sets of jerseys in one game, Rong Guang actually does not suffer much damage. Many times Rong Guang loses balance and falls to the ground to avoid the opponent's fierce defensive actions. It is not that Rong Guang is thrown over.

This will minimize the damage to the body.

Despite this, Sun Fengyang did not dare to take it lightly at all.

Injury will always come at the moment when you relax your guard.

It would be too embarrassing if Sun Fengyang tripped twice by the same stone in his life.

※※※

Fortunately, what both Sun Fengyang and Benitez were worried about did not happen in the end.

Fulham kicked fiercely, but Glory's moves were fast enough.

Manchester City scored another goal in the second half and secured the victory by 20.

Although this ball was not made by Rong Guang or assisted by Rong Guang, Rong Guang's interweaving and attacking in the frontcourt completely disrupted Fulham's defense and created opportunities for other Manchester City players to score goals.

Fulham only scored a goal when Manchester City players were relaxed in the 90th minute, but it was no longer helpful.

2I Manchester City won the opponent away.

They continue to lead Chelsea in the league standings for four points.

From this game, neither the media nor the fans saw that Manchester City was about to collapse, but everyone still firmly believed that they would collapse.

After all, the devil's schedule for seven games in 22 days has just begun...

In the next three days, Manchester City will welcome Everton at home.

This is the only team this season that has beaten Manchester City.

Manchester City's unbeaten record for a whole year ended at Everton's feet.

In the first league game of the New Year, Manchester City lost to Moyes' Everton 02 away.

This game will be a good opportunity for Manchester City to take revenge, but it may also be that Manchester City will trip over the same stone twice.
