Chapter two hundred and eighty second belated triumph
When Manchester City defeated Chelsea, the media throughout England began to pay attention to Manchester City's consecutive unbeaten record.
After this game, their league unbeaten record was forty-seven games, the best in club history, and also surpassed Nottingham Forest's forty-two unbeaten record, ranking second in the history of English football.
Manchester City's opponent in the next 31 rounds is Sunderland. Manchester City plays at home. With the team's current state, beating Sunderland is not a problem, so they will expand the record to 48 games.
In the 32nd round of the league, Manchester City challenged Liverpool away. This is a difficult game. Liverpool beat Manchester United 3-1 at home, which allowed everyone to see their strength, and at the same time, they also showed their hope of competing for the top four in the league and qualifying for the Champions League next season. Now Liverpool has 45 points and is still ranked sixth in the league, but Chelsea, the fourth in the league, has 54 points, and the gap between the two sides is only nine points. It is still possible to compete.
So at that time, Liverpool, who is determined to be qualified for the Champions League, may burst into unimaginable energy at its home court.
In addition, when Manchester City is only one step away from Arsenal's record, no one can say whether they will think too much. Perhaps because they want to win the game too much, they will lose or not.
Such things are simply too common in football games.
The closer they get to the record, the more they care about the record. The more they care about the record, the less they are, the more they perform normally.
Now Manchester City is leading Manchester United by eight points in the league, and the suspense of the league championship is no longer great, so everyone has turned their attention to the record.
Can Manchester City tie or even surpass Arsenal's record of 49 unbeaten in the league?
It's worth their waiting and seeing.
But before that, I have to wait patiently for a while.
After playing against Chelsea, Rongguang and Sun Hai left Manchester together and returned to China by plane.
Participated in two warm-up matches between the Chinese national team against New Zealand and Honduras.
The first game of these two games was not commanded by Gao Hongbo, but assistant coach Fu Bo. Because Gao Hongbo was going to take another national team to visit Costa Rica to participate in the opening ceremony of the National Stadium of Costa Rica, which was built by China, on March 26, and had a friendly match with the Costa Rica national team.
Although this team is also called the Chinese national team, its team is actually the national youth team coached by Su Maozhen. In addition, some players who have participated in the national team training in the past year but are not in the national team lineup that won the Asian Cup.
The Chinese national teams who stayed in China to participate in the warm-up match are basically all teams in the Asian Cup.
These two warm-up matches mean that the Chinese national team has begun to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers.
The Chinese team will start their first match of the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian qualifiers in July, against the winners of Laos and Cambodia in the second round of the qualifiers.
Therefore, the current warm-up matches are basically focused on running-in lineups, and there will be no new players, unless there is an injury or a player who is not selected for the national team performs particularly well and is in very good condition.
Since it is to get used to the existing lineup, Rongguang has to come back to participate in the game. After all, he is the core of the team. If the Chinese team wants to have some value in the game, it is not to see how strong the opponents are in the warm-up match, but to see whether Rongguang will come back.
When Rongguang comes back, everyone can use him as the core to work together the team and find a sense of cooperation in the game. If Rongguang does not come back, then there is no meaning of training in such a game.

Debola, Rongguang and Sun Hai flew back to China together. For this reason, Rongguang's parents flew from China to the UK in advance to take care of their grandson, so that Debola could leave with peace of mind.
Rongguang returned to China to participate in the warm-up competition, and Debola did not need to travel with her.
But this time the situation is different, because in addition to playing in a warm-up match, there is another thing waiting for glory.
That is what Molly once told Rongguang before that the domestic Football Association sponsored the Football Association intends to discuss cooperation with Rongguang.
Debola is responsible for following up on this matter, so she naturally has to go back to China for an interview.
The other party proposed a cooperative project to rent Rongguang to the training camp built in Mallorca, and send the children selected from China to this training camp for training, and then find European clubs for them and send them to their respective clubs to continue training.
If no team is willing to accept these players for the time being, they can also train in training camp and temporarily form a team to participate in local amateur games to maintain their shape by playing games.
After Rongguang and Sun Fengyang discussed, they agreed to such a cooperation in principle, but the specific details were discussed by Debola.
After making several calls and sending many emails, the negotiations between the two sides finally came to an end.
If there is nothing unexpected happening when Debola goes to China this time, Rongguang may eventually sign the cooperation agreement.
The three parted ways in Beijing. Rongguang and Sun Hai went to Wuhan to meet with the Chinese national team, while Debola stayed in Beijing to meet with the company representatives for negotiations.
Rongguang and Sun Hai did not even leave the airport, and they completed the transfer directly in the terminal.

This is the first time that Glory has returned to China since the Chinese team won the Asian Cup.
Chinese fans have been looking forward to this day for a long time.
They were worried that Glory would not come back to participate in this seemingly insignificant warm-up match, and when they were sure Glory would come back, they were all excited.
Fans from all over the country began to connect and discussed picking up the plane at Tianhe International Airport in Wuhan.
They will dedicate their belated cheers to the heroes to glory.
When the Chinese team brought back to China with the Asian Cup, the grand occasion was still vivid in their minds, but the only regret was that the glory was not on the scene and they could not accept the cheers of the fans.
This time, they will make up for the glory.
When the plane called Rongguang and Sun Hai just took off from Beijing Capital International Airport, Chinese fans were already waiting at the exit of Tianhe Airport, and the number of people gathered more and more.
Wuhan was prepared for this and arranged a large number of police forces to the airport to maintain order in advance. Moreover, Chinese fans knew about the scene at Capital International Airport, and everyone knew that Rongguang did not want the scene to be in chaos.
So although there are many people, the order is well-organized.
While waiting for the arrival of glory, so many people were still quiet, which surprised the police officers responsible for maintaining order.
※※※
When Rongguang and Sun Hai walked to the exit, although the people had not yet gone out, some people had seen them. The people who saw them cheered first, and then the cheers spread rapidly like contagiousness. Finally, there were huge cheers at the exit of the waiting hall. The loud cheers attracted everyone's attention, making people even wonder whether the ceiling of the terminal would be lifted up...
Amid the cheers of mountains and tsunamis, Sun Hai made a gesture of "please leave first" to Rongguang.
"This is your glory." Sun Hai said to Rongguang with a smile. "The belated triumph."
He wants Rongguang to receive cheers alone.
Rongguang scratched his head, but without refusal, he walked in front.
Seeing him come out, the fans cheered a little louder.
They clapped rhythmically and shouted: "Glory! Glory! Glory! Glory!!"
They waved the five-star red flag, held high the national team's jerseys, as well as various hand-painted posters and comics.
In this way, they express their love and respect for glory.
Rongguang raised his hands and thanked the fans.
The fans were even more excited.
He did not stop, but continued to move forward. The wall of people formed by the armed police was squeezed by the excited fans so that only one person could pass through.
Glory passes through this passage.
At first, everyone just looked at him and shouted slogans, but later a little fan suddenly reached out and touched Rong Guang's arm timidly.
Touched gently.
Next, he withdrew his hand and looked at his palm incredibly, as if he couldn't believe that he had actually touched his idol, the heroic glory of Chinese football!
He looked up at the glory.
Rongguang, who had already walked in front, turned around and smiled at him, without any intention of blaming him.
The actions of this young fan seemed to encourage other fans, and they also stretched out their hands to touch Glory's shoulders, arms, and back...
Especially the female fans, they were particularly crazy, and they screamed after touching them...
No matter who touched him, Glory did not raise his hand to separate or block them.
But the police were responsible for maintaining order? The police seemed very nervous and tried hard to push the fans backwards to prevent them from having contact with Glory.
Sun Hai followed Rongguang out, looking at Rongguang's back, all around him were arms.
He felt really kind - at Manchester City, when they won the championship, the fans also beat Manchester City players like this, expressing their excitement and love for the players.
So Rongguang did not think that the actions of these Chinese fans were abnormal.
Sun Hai believes that when such a situation occurs in China many times in the future, those armed police soldiers responsible for maintaining order will definitely get used to it. Don’t be too nervous. The fans just love glory too much...
※※※
Rongguang and Sun Hai finally successfully got out of the "arm jungle" and then met with the national team staff who picked them up outside. This staff member was completely squeezed to the outermost by the fans, so they could only worry outside. Fortunately, there was no problem with Rongguang and Sun Hai, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
If Rongguang and Sun Hai, especially Rongguang, have any shortcomings, it is difficult to explain when you go back...
It is no exaggeration to say that glory is now a national treasure.
"It's no big deal to relax." Sun Hai said to him, comforting him. "There may be many such things in the future. Just get used to it, haha!"
Chapter completed!
