"How is my injury?" In the locker room, Rongguang asked Sun Fengyang who had just arrived.

At this time, Manchester City's home match against Arsenal is still continuing.

"Fortunately, it's not the injured right ankle, so there is no big problem." Sun Fengyang said after examining Rongguang.

When Rongguang was injured and helped by the team doctor, he left the private room where Debola was and went straight to the locker room.

For many people, the locker room is a sacred place and no one else can be allowed to enter it at will.

But Rongguang has privileges in Manchester City, and Rongguang's private physician Sun Fengyang also has some privileges, including that he can enter and exit the Manchester City locker room at any time. Although he is not in the Manchester City coaching staff and is not an employee of the Manchester City club, he has such power. Of course, this is also because he is Manchester City's private physician.

Rong Guang's face showed a relaxed look - he was also very nervous when he was injured just now. After all, he had experienced the pain of serious injuries, so he was unwilling to taste it again.

But then Sun Fengyang's words poured cold water on Rongguang: "But you don't want to play in the next round of league."

Rong Guang looked at him in surprise.

"Although it's not a big deal to get hurt, you need to take a minimum rest for one week, so to be on the safe side, you will definitely not be able to participate in the next round of the league."

"You know the next round of league..." Rongguang asked.

Before Rongguang could finish his words, Sun Fengyang nodded: "Of course, the next round is the Manchester derby. But in such a critical game, you can't play even more because you will work harder in such a game, which will aggravate your injury."

"But the team needs me..."

"Manchester City is not your team alone, Rong." Sun Fengyang said seriously with a stern face. "You should trust your teammates, they have the ability to win the game..."

But when Sun Fengyang said this, neither he nor Rongguang knew that on the field outside, Arsenal had sounded the horn of counterattack, and Manchester City was panicking as the fruit of victory was eaten by Arsenal little by little...

"I think you definitely don't want to have another experience of not being able to play in the eight months, right?"

Looking at Sun Fengyang's eyes, Rong Guang thought about it for a long time, and finally sighed: "Okay..."

He was reluctant, but he was even less willing to aggravate his injuries and miss more games.

After the game, Rongguang saw his teammates coming back in the locker room with dejected expression. Without asking, he also knew the result of the game - Manchester City lost again

At the same time, outside the locker room, the tired Mark Hughes was communicating with Sun Fengyang with an anxious expression on his face: "How is Rong's injury?"

“Not too serious…”

Before Sun Fengyang could finish his speech, he saw a clearly relieved expression on Mark Hughes's face.

"but……"

He continued.

Hearing his words, the relieved expression on Mark Hughes's face suddenly solidified.

"He can't play in the next round of Manchester United." Sun Fengyang finally finished what he was going to say.

Mark Hughes looked at Sun Fengyang blankly, his eyes full of doubts and...confusion. He was not mentally prepared for what Sun Fengyang suddenly said.

The next second he realized and asked loudly with some excitement: "Why?"

"Although it's not too serious, it's also an injury. To be on the safe side, he must rest for at least one week." Sun Fengyang said seriously with a stern face.

He is not a team doctor at Manchester City and does not belong to the coaching staff managed by Mark Hughes, so he doesn't have to consider Mark Hughes's mood when speaking and doing things. He said this very hard, and he didn't leave any room for negotiation for Mark Hughes. This is why.

He didn't want to leave Mark Hughes with some hopeless delusions, and he didn't want Mark Hughes to feel that there was still a possibility of winning the glory.

"But the next game" Mark Hughes was a little angry and anxious, and his voice was louder than before.

"It's Manchester derby, I know. But Rong can't play, otherwise his injury may become serious."

"But that's just possible, it may become serious, or it may not..." Mark Hughes continued to convince Sun Fengyang.

"We can't take this risk, Mr. Hughes. I can't take this risk with Rong's health. Even if the team loses to Manchester United because of Rong's absence, at least Rong is still healthy. You can still win back in the next round of the league. If you are seriously injured again and missed for several months, I think you will never have a chance to turn the tables." Sun Fengyang said with a stern face.

Mark Hughes looked at Sun Fengyang, who had no room for negotiation, was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "But I am the team's head coach, I am the manager, I have the power to decide who can go and who can't go."

"Then we also need to refer to the doctor's opinions." Sun Fengyang refused to let go.

"But you are not our team doctor." Mark Hughes planned to break up with Sun Fengyang. It was strange to arrange such a private doctor in the club who was not a team doctor at all. But this doctor was able to point fingers at me and decide whether my players could play... Mark Hughes couldn't stand it.

"Yes, I'm not a team doctor at Manchester City, I'm Rong's personal doctor, so I'm only responsible for my health." The implication is that I don't care about the team's win or the life or death of you, the head coach.

Seeing Sun Fengyang so strong, Mark Hughes was a little unexpected. He was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "I think you should ask Rong for his opinion when you make this decision..."

Hughes knew that Rong Guang himself wanted to play games, especially an important game like the Manchester derby, which was his first city derby since joining Manchester City.

He couldn't convince Sun Fengyang, but glory could

Unexpectedly, Sun Fengyang spread his hands and shook his head and said, "I have already talked with Rong, and he agreed to my arrangement. I am his doctor, and I know his physical condition very well. If I say it doesn't work, it won't work." Sun Fengyang was too lazy to pull it off with Mark Hughes anymore, and he ended the conversation very toughly.

Seeing him turning around and leaving, Mark Hughes said loudly to him: "But I am the team's head coach...":

Before he finished speaking, Sun Fengyang took out his cell phone: "Do you need me to call Mr. Fasim directly?"

Mark Hughes's remaining words were choked in his throat and could not be heard.

Sun Fengyang no longer paid attention to the head coach who had instantly turned into a dejected head, turned around and walked away.

"How is his injury, Mr. Sun?" As soon as he left, Sun Fengyang's cell phone rang. He picked it up and it was called by Debola.

"It's not too serious, but it needs a week of rest. So he can't play in the next game." Sun Fengyang replied.

"But that's Manchester City Derby..."

"Yes, I told him that he agreed not to play this game. No problem, you don't have to worry, Debola."

"Well, thank you, Mr. Sun."

"You are so polite, Debola. I am Rong's personal doctor, this is what I should do." Sun Fengyang said with a smile.

At the post-match press conference, Mark Hughes seemed very frustrated. Everyone thought it was because Manchester City lost to Arsenal when they were leading, but in fact Mark Hughes was already worried about his coaching position...

Before the game against Liverpool, he was given an ultimatum. He thought he was dead, but he didn't expect Glory to complete a hat-trick in the game and save his coach position.

Now his position as a coach has reached the most dangerous time again, even more dangerous than the last time, because there is no glory to save the driver this time...

Manchester City, which has no glory, can face the impact of Manchester United even if it is playing at home?

Mark Hughes has no confidence in this.

The reporters also asked about Rong Guang's injuries, and Mark Hughes had to force himself to get angry: "His injury is nothing serious..."

"So can he participate in the next city derby?" asked a reporter from Manchester Evening News.

This problem almost made Mark Hughes leave, but he still held it back. He tried to say in a calm tone: "It depends on the specific injury test result."

He did not directly tell the reporters that Rong Guang would be absent in the next game, not that he wanted to win Rong Guang's chance to play, but that he did not want to disrupt the morale of the army... which affected the team's preparations.

However, Rongguang will miss the game against Manchester United, and the news has not been hidden for long. Two days later, the media began to spread news that Rongguang will miss the same-city derby.

The reporters were stuck outside the Carrington training base and wanted to interview Rongguang and get the latest news from Rongguang.

However, Debola and Sun Fengyang have both told Rongguang that he would be better silent about this matter before the official announcement. Therefore, Rongguang did not accept interviews from any media and did not answer this question.

Mark Hughes's answer has always been ambiguous, and he did not say that Rongguang would definitely miss the competition, but he did not say that Rongguang would definitely participate in the same-city derby.

A few days before the game, this became the most popular news in the entire English football world - whether Rongguang could catch up with his first Manchester City Derby.

Of course, Manchester City fans hope that Glory can catch up with the game. After all, with Manchester City's current state, if they want to defeat Manchester United at home, they can only count on Glory.

But unfortunately, when Mark Hughes finally announced the starting list of the game the day before the game, Rongguang still did not appear in this list, and not only the starting list, he did not even enter the final roster of the 18-man, which means he did not even have the chance to come on as a substitute to participate in the same-city derby...

"Rong's injury has not been completely healed yet. To be on the safe side, we let him continue to rest. After all, Manchester City needs a completely healthy Rong, not a Rong who fights with injuries..." Mark Hughes said in the pre-match press conference.

A group of reporters looked at each other.

Rongguang actually missed this city derby?
Chapter completed!
