When the Chinese team took the Asian Cup to return to Capital International Airport, they were warmly welcomed in the airport square.

The leaders of the Football Association and the General Administration of Sports, the national leaders in charge of sports, and the Young Pioneers stood on the airport apron holding flowers and pulling banners, ready to greet them.

In addition, there were 200 fans and media witnessing the glory of Chinese football on the spot.

This is not the thousands of fans waiting outside the airport.

The national youth teams won the World Youth Championship last time, they didn’t have such a big game when they returned to China.

It can be seen that everyone’s expectations and support for this national team this time.

Gao Hongbo sat in his seat and saw this scene through the porthole.

He has been a coach for so many years and has been a professional player for a long time before, but he has never encountered such a scene.

"We have received glory and blessings, Lao Fu." He sighed.

"Well. It's a pity that the glory is not here." Fu Bo nodded.

After the game last night, Rongguang, Sun Hai, Gao Lin and Haomin, four overseas players, all took a plane to return to their respective clubs. Rongguang and Sun Hai simply took the private plane of Mansour, the boss behind the Manchester City Club, back to Manchester, which would take a little less time than waiting for the airline plane. At the same time, Rongguang and Sun Hai were not as tired during the journey and had enough rest.

Strive to minimize their negative status after returning to the club.

"By the way, Lao Fu. Before Rongguang left, I chatted with him alone. I asked him a question and asked him why he had to reject the suggestion we made. Guess what he said?"

Fu Bo was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What did you say?"

"He said... his teammates are not strong enough, he can change clubs. But he can't change nationality."

Gao Hongbo turned his head and looked at the fan phalanx holding banners outside the porthole.

The red banner reads in golden words: "If you win, you will be crazy, if you lose, you will be fighting together! The Chinese team is good!"

The cabin radio rang at this time: "The cabin door has been opened, please get off the plane in turn. All members of Air China XXXX crew congratulated the heroes of the Chinese men's football team on their return with honor! Come on, the Chinese team!"

It is rare to add this sentence to a routine broadcast program.

Everyone's attention was attracted.

Cheers also rang out at the rear of the cabin.

"Come on the Chinese team! The Chinese team is good!"

“Let’s go to Brazil in 2014!”

"Yes! We've also gone to Brazil to cheer you on in 2014!!"

...

These are all the shouts from the people who returned to China from Doha on a flight with the Chinese team.

The Chinese team did not take the chartered flight, so they took the flight with ordinary passengers.

Along the way, many passengers went to take photos with Chinese players, and everyone was very happy and all their requirements for the fans were met.

The relationship between this national team and the fans is particularly harmonious, and no stars are acting like big names. The fans angrily raised their middle fingers and cursed the "grass mud horse" and cursed them like this.

This may not be just because the team can win. More importantly, it is probably what Rong Guang said to them before the finals:

"What is to bring glory for the country? Fighting for Chinese fans is to bring glory for the country!"

Gao Hongbo stood up and held the Asian Cup in his hand. He called the team's captain Du Ping to come to him, and they wanted to be the first to appear at the cabin door.

In front, all the flight attendants were already greeting them and made a "please" gesture. The smile on everyone's face was no longer that professional, but a smile from the heart.

When the captain of the Chinese team, Du Ping and head coach Gao Hongbo, appeared at the cabin door with the Asian Cup together, cheers came out.

Gao Hongbo looked at the scene in front of him and thought of what Fu Bo said again.

What a pity that Rongguang couldn't see this scene on the spot.

He must be very happy and likes seeing these...

When the Chinese team returned with honor and returned to China and received a warm welcome at Capital International Airport, Glory had already appeared at Manchester City's Carrington Training Base.

"I knew you would come. Rong."

As he was sweating profusely on the training ground, the voice of head coach Benitez came from behind him.

"Didn't I give you a day off? You should have a good rest at home."

Glory turned around and faced Benitez.

<> "I'm not tired, boss. The Asian Cup has no effect on me."

Benitez only smiled on his face at this time, and he stretched out his hand to Rongguang: "Welcome to return to the team, Rong."

Rongguang also held his hand.

"Congratulations, you are now the Asian champion."

Rong Guang smiled.

"Okay, let me reveal that I originally hoped you would return to the team after the group stage... But that's great. We haven't lost yet, although Manchester United has narrowed the points gap..." Benitez said.

"I know, so I'm back, boss." Rongguang nodded.

He had already learned about the current situation in the league before he came back.

After drew with Aston Villa 2:2 away, Manchester City's current points are 58 points, while Manchester United has accumulated 56 points through this period of time, which is only two points away from Manchester United.

This is a very dangerous score gap.

One game can allow two teams to be transferred in the league standings.

Moreover, Ibrahimovic was sent off the court for protesting the referee's decision.

What's worse is that after he left the court, he still applauded the referee, and when he came down, he cursed the fourth official: "You and all of you are so fucking disgusting!!"

All of this was written into the competition report.

The FA England has subsequently announced that it will impose extra penalties on Ibrahimovic, and two additional bans will be suspended on the basis of one game originally banned.

In other words, Ibrahimovic will be suspended for three games in total.

The 25th round is Manchester City's away challenge to Birmingham, and this opponent is not very strong.

In the 26th round, Manchester City faced West Bromvic at home, and this opponent was not very strong.

But in the 27th round, Ibrahimovic's last game suspended, Manchester City will go to Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United.

This opponent is very strong, and this is a direct dialogue between two championship teams, so Manchester United cannot let Manchester City go easily.

Without Ibrahimovic, Manchester City's attack power will inevitably be affected.

Manchester City club has appealed that Ibrahimovic was suspended for two additional games, but the result is not optimistic.

In addition, the English media have also been paying attention to Ibrahimovic in the past few days.

Everyone knows what kind of temper Ibrahimovic is. He has only exploded until now, and everyone is quite surprised.

"This time bomb finally exploded!"

However, some media regretted that Ibrahimovic did not explode early, such as the North London Horn. If Ibrahimovic exploded early, then Arsenal could defeat Manchester City at home...

Some media have also analyzed why Ibrahimovic suddenly exploded, believing that the reason is that the pressure is too great.

After Rong Guang left the team, as the biggest star in the team, Ibrahimovic naturally shouldered more responsibilities, and the competition between him and Rong Guang is no secret. When Rong Guang was there, everyone saw what Manchester City achieved and performed.

As a result, after Rongguang left, Manchester City's performance declined all the way, and his lead over Manchester United changed from six points to two points, which put a lot of pressure on him. It seemed that he had lost to Rongguang.

So in the end, Ibrahimovic made such a move on the court.

Now I have brought myself more severe punishments.

For Manchester City, under such circumstances, the only good news is that Rong Guang finally finished the Asian Cup and returned to the team.

If Manchester City loses glory and Ibrahimovic at the same time, it will be difficult to play in this game. Even if they face Birmingham, they may not be able to win...

Because Birmingham is now ranked 17th, the relegation zones in which the last three league places are located, and they are only two points away from this relegation zone - Birmingham is now 24 points, the eighteenth Wolves and the nineteenth Wigan Athletics are both 22 points, and the last West Ham United is ranked 21 points, so the situation in Birmingham is relatively dangerous.

With fourteen rounds left in the league, the relegation battle has begun.

Anyone who is not careful will be able to cause a tragedy in the decline.

※※※

Hearing the words of Rongguang, Benitez laughed.

"Yes, you're back. But I'm still a little worried, Rong. After all, you played such a fierce Asian Cup in the far Middle East. I'm even thinking about the next game against Birmingham, letting you sit on the bench for the time being..."

Rongguang quickly interrupted Benitez when he heard this: "If you must give me a rest, boss. Then I suggest you let me start and then replace me during the halftime break."

Benitez was stunned for a moment, what is the requirement?

"Birmingham is going to fight for relegation now. They are very strong at home. I'm afraid they will be beaten up by them, and it will be useless when I come on as a substitute..." Rongguang explained.

Benitez then understood.

He thought about it for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then we said yes, you can only play for forty-five minutes. After all, we have a city derby with Manchester United behind us."

Rongguang agreed: "No problem."

"Then I won't bother you, but I'll still pay attention to rest." Benitez said goodbye to Rongguang.

"I know, thank you, boss."
