Chapter 39 Responsible

With three days left before the start of the game, Liverpool talked about the highly-watched match in a regular mid-week press conference.

Daglish, who was then Liverpool head coach, said: "I heard about Mark Hughes... To be honest, I sympathize with Hughes very much because anyone sitting in that position will be bad. Manchester City spent so much money and of course they would ask for results as soon as possible, but football rules cannot make a team rebuild so quickly..."

Although in the age of players, the two played for a pair of old enemies.

But Daglish chose to speak for Mark Hughes, which reflected his gentlemanly demeanor.

However, he changed his subject: "But I won't show mercy in this game. Liverpool will beat Manchester City with all their might on the road. Our goal this season is to compete for the championship."

Spanish coach Rafa Benitez resigned from Liverpool this summer - actually was swept out by Liverpool clubs without their contract expiration.

The reason why he was dismissed was because of an irreconcilable contradiction with the club's senior management.

This contradiction existed when he lost the Champions League championship in the first year he came to the team.

In the following years, he led the team with a good result, and at least he could reach the Champions League every year.

But Liverpool executives who have seen the scenery on the mountain have much higher requirements for him and are no longer satisfied with just entering the Champions League every year.

The 205 Istanbul Night was like a nail, firmly stuck in the hearts of every Liverpool man. Over the years, they have been pursuing the ability to return to the Champions League final and win the championship. It would be even better if they could beat AC Milan in the final.

Originally, the 2UU-207 season was a good opportunity, and they reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

But they were eliminated in the quarterfinals by Bayern Munich, where the glorious location is.

And you should know that the two sides in the finals that year were Bayern Munich and AC Milan.

If Liverpool could eliminate Bayern Munich, they might have met AC Milan in the final, which would have been a perfect revenge...

But Benitez's team lost the key game again.

Since then, the conflict between club senior executives and Benitez has become increasingly fierce, focusing on the team's construction, signings and expectations for results.

In the end, the conflict between the two sides became fierce, and Benitez left Liverpool after the end of last season.

Liverpool has found the club's legend Kenny Dalglish, who will take over as Benitez.

After Dalglish came to the team, he reinstated the "HL spirit" in Liverpool. As a legend of the team, he can also keep a low profile in the locker room, and the players are in excellent condition, so Liverpool played quite well at the beginning of the season.

This also made Liverpool club executives think that it was right for them to decisively give up Benitez.

Daglish is Liverpool's true destiny

Although Benitez, who was fired by Liverpool, had many rumors at that time, such as Juventus and Real Madrid were interested in him, and even Manchester City had even looked for him, he was still at home in the end.

The explanation he gave was that he hoped to have a good rest and recharge himself.

※※※

Although it is at home, not many people believe that Manchester City can beat a team like Liverpool at home.

It is said that bookmakers have stopped accepting bets for Mark Hughes to be dismissed after this game - because it is obvious, and the bookmaker's data monitoring shows that there is already a lot of money to bet Mark Hughes will be dismissed after this game...

If you don't close your betting, the bookmaker will suffer some losses...

"...Does Mark Hughes have any clear ideas for his tactics? Yes, that is, after the ball in the front court, after the ball in the back court, after the ball in the left, after the ball in the right, and after the ball in the middle... After Rong got the ball in the himself, others entered the mode of watching the show..." On the TV station, a commentator criticized Mark Hughes' incompetence sarcastically.

"Manchester City spent nearly £200 million this summer to buy players. Is it just to find ten people to form a starting lineup with Rong?" The guest continued to ridicule Mark Hughes and Manchester City Club. "Oh, sorry, Mr. Fassim. I accidentally revealed the team building ideas of your club."

"We conducted a random survey on the streets of Manchester. Seventy-seven percent of the Manchester City fans interviewed think that they should not rely on Rong. Although Rong is very powerful, he needs excellent helpers... You see, even ordinary fans know better than Mark Hughes."

The host and the audience burst into laughter.

When the highly anticipated game began, Mark Hughes sat quietly in his position and did not stand on the sidelines to direct the game. His expression was calm and he was waiting for the execution of the death row prisoner.

On the court, Manchester City played at home as a disadvantage, and everyone is not surprised by this, because it was like this in previous games.

Manchester City's offense is completely a mess, and there is no system. Even the most ordinary fan can see that Manchester City's offense has no rules.

Glory, Berbatov and Robinho are all isolated and have not established effective connections.

The commentators are too lazy to complain about this. Everyone has complained too many times in the past games.

Mark Hughes is not completely able to solve this problem, and the connection between the three of them is very fragile and simple.

"If I were Fasim, I wouldn't have waited until the end of this game. I would have fired Mark Hughes before the game..."

Alan Hansen said.

During his career, Alan Hansen had many confrontations with Mark Hughes on the court. Alan Hansen is Liverpool's central defender, while Mark Hughes is Manchester United's striker.

All kinds of confrontations are bound to the two of them.

Now this confrontation extends to the coaching seat and the commentary seat...

It just turned into a unilateral mockery of Mark Hughes by Alan Hansen.

Perhaps when everyone thought he would become Liverpool's future coach, he chose to follow the commentator path in order to avoid being criticized like this?

Kenny Dalglish stood on the sidelines, his hands in his pockets, and his body was straight. From his back, he looked very chic and calm.

Twenty-five minutes into the game, Liverpool already led by one goal away.

Daglish fulfilled his promise before the game - he did not let the water go, but went all out.

Liverpool is very aggressive in the away game, which makes Manchester City play very embarrassed.

Manchester City fans in the stands were also a little quiet - in fact, they were quite active at the beginning of the game, but after Liverpool scored a goal in the 18th minute, the stands at Manchester City Stadium became much quieter.

Manchester City's offense is still like a headless fly, rushing around. If you have good luck, you can threaten Liverpool's goal. If you have bad luck...

But glory is the most threatening Liverpool goal.

Commentator Motson really praised Rong Guang: "Even if he is the only one who fights alone, he can still surprise us. Manchester City's overall performance is sluggish, but Rong is definitely the best one. He deserves the value given to him by the Manchester City club... He is truly worthy of being the former World Footballer and European Golden Baller."

"But what's the use? He can't bring victory to the team alone... Actually, I think it's good to let Mark Hughes get out of class after this game. Maybe it's a good thing for Manchester City..." Alan Hansen did not miss every opportunity to complain about Mark Hughes.

Rong Guang completed a long shot, which made Liverpool goalkeeper Renner take off his hand when saving it. Fortunately, Renner's reaction was fast enough. At the same time, Liverpool central defender Scotter protected him in time, allowing Renner to hug the football again immediately.

When Rongguang saw this scene, he frowned and was a little unwilling to accept it.

But what if you are unwilling to give up?

"Look at this ball, Rong's long-range shooting power is very strong and fast, which caused Reina to lose his hand. If Berbatov could run two more steps, or run a little earlier, maybe he would have a chance to score a goal with the ball... But unfortunately, he didn't run to see this slow motion. When Rong shot, Berbatov was here. When Reina took the ball, he was still in place. When Reina hugged the football for the second time, he didn't move at all...tsk tsk." Alan Hansen shook his head.

However, Rongguang did not complain that his teammates were not good enough, so he turned around and ran back.

He actually already knows this.

The media has said more than once that victory or defeat is not his own responsibility, but the idea of ​​Glory is very simple - since he is the team's top star and has the highest salary in the team, he should be responsible for the team's victory and failure. This is his responsibility and the price of getting a high salary.

Even if he is the only one, even if it is unrealistic, he wants to carry the team forward.

What he said must be fulfilled

He said that if Manchester City becomes a giant, he must do it

So he doesn't care how his teammates perform. As long as he performs well, he has very strict requirements on himself.

At least in this game, when the whole world is not optimistic about Manchester City, Rongguang insists on helping the team win this game - he is not to save Mark Hughes's coach position, but to prove it to Kaka.

You said I can't do it alone?

Then I'll let you see...

You're wrong

When Caroline heard the sound of the ball game, she got down from the upper floor and found Kaka sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching the TV screen very focused.

She turned her eyes to the TV screen and found it was a Premier League match.

She was not surprised by this. Since Rong Guang went to Manchester City, Kaka has seen Premier League games significantly.

"Manchester City is behind." Caroline glanced at the screen and sat next to Kaka. "Where is Rong's performance?"

"That idiot, I thought he could dominate the game by himself." Kaka snorted.

Caroline had never seen swearing about Kaka before. Kaka is also very gentleman now, but when it comes to glory, he will become a person. Caroline has been used to it after so many years.

She sat next to her husband, stopped talking, and silently accompanied him to watch the glory game.
