Chapter 68 The Right Way
In the second half, facing Newcastle, who had no fighting spirit, Manchester City did not show mercy, and they still firmly controlled the game.
In the 64th minute, after receiving a cross from his teammate in the penalty area, he scored a header, and Manchester City B0 led the way.
"Rong is his eighteenth league goal this season. He is far ahead in the league scorer list. No one can pose a threat to him. No matter how good Manchester City's performance is, Rong's condition will always be very outstanding. However, in the first half of the season, no matter how outstanding he performed, he could not save the team. But at the beginning of the second half of the season, when Benitez gradually mastered this team, we saw changes...Rong's performance is still outstanding, and Manchester City also made a profit because of his outstanding performance - until now, we can say that Rong and Manchester City have really begun to combine. The feeling that Rong was always Rong, Manchester City is Manchester City, and the two of them are separated..."
After Rong Guang scored, the cheers in the stands became much louder.
Whenever, Glory is the person that Manchester City fans always trust. No matter how the team's condition goes up and down, Glory will not.
After Glory scored, Newcastle United had basically given up resistance, fell behind three goals, and had no advantage in the field, and could not see any hope of winning. What are you struggling to death?
Newcastle United lost its fighting spirit, and Manchester City also slowed down appropriately.
Until the end of the game, Manchester City scored another goal, and this time it was Petrov, who came on as a substitute.
This ball is the icing on the cake.
In the end, Manchester City defeated Newcastle United 40 at home.
After winning this game, Manchester City has won three consecutive league wins.
This is the second time this season. The last time was when Mark Hughes led the team. It was the best time for Manchester City. The three consecutive wins also made Mark Hughes think he could continue to coach Manchester City...
Unexpectedly, Mark Hughes could not escape the fate of being out of class in the end.
After defeating Newcastle United at home, Manchester City rose two more places, and now they are ranked ninth.
Manchester City is returning to the upper middle of the league little by little.
From the relegation zone to the middle level, it was just three league games. Now there are no one in the media who questioned or ridiculed Benitez for coaching Manchester City. There are almost no one who can say that the 205 Champions League final defeat is considered a matter of almost no one.
Within the team, many players are convinced by Benitez's ability.
Even if you don't watch the game and only look at training, Manchester City players think that Benitez is much better than Mark Hughes.
At this time, the money Manchester City spent last summer seemed to have some significance...
※※※
After Manchester City got on track, in the next away game, they were Uj Stoke City, and Glory scored the only goal in the game, helping Manchester City win four consecutive league wins.
However, the team's ranking has not changed much.
But everyone saw hope.
You know, when the team performed best in the first half of the season, it only won three consecutive games, but now it has won four consecutive games
Everyone sees the changes in Manchester City. After Benitez took office, he put the team together and did what Mark Hughes did not do. Now Manchester City fans have even begun to look forward to Manchester City's second major reversal in the second half of the season...
Now think about what Rong Guang and Benitez said... the goal is to get the European qualification for next season, which is at least the top five in the league. If this trend continues... Maybe by the end of the season, it will be possible to achieve it.
Even if it's just a qualification for the League Cup, it's very good
In the 25th round of the league, Manchester City beat Middlesbrough at home, and Rong Guang scored another goal.
After Manchester City won this game, their winning games finally took ten games this season, which was the same as their losing games.
However, Manchester City hasn't lost for a while.
Five consecutive league wins
After this league game, the media throughout England have been paying attention to Manchester City's five-game winning streak.
If we count the two FA Cups, this is already Manchester City's seven consecutive victories in all competitions.
"...Manchester City has won consecutive victories, and their league points are also rising and their ranking is improving. Now they are ranked seventh in the league. When Mark Hughes led the team, they once reached this ranking. At that time, everyone thought that Manchester City was on the right path... But now we can confirm that they have spent half a season and finally found the real right path this time."
"...Manchester City is running all the way, but it doesn't matter how fast they are. What's important is whether they are running on the right path, otherwise the faster they are, the farther they will go. Now it seems that they have finally found the right path... They are still centered on the offense, but Benitez's tactical thinking is much clearer than Mark Hughes. At the same time, the most important thing is that Benitez's tactics clarify the role of Berbatov and Robinho, which inspired these two offensive players, so that Manchester City no longer just Rong alone supports it..."
"Benitez's level is indeed better than Mark Hughes. At least, Benitez has coached in a giant team and has had the experience of winning the championship successfully. When he was in Valencia, he led the team to win two league championships and won a UEFA Cup championship. He was also good at Liverpool. If it weren't for the Champions League, he should have received more support from Liverpool... It is said that the top leaders of Manchester City club trust him very much, try to meet his requirements and give him maximum support. From this point of view, maybe his space to play in Manchester City is really bigger than Liverpool..."
"The changes in Manchester City are really amazing. Benitez won all the matches in January that just ended, and he won the best coach of the Premier League last month... There is no problem. In the whole Premier League, in addition to leading Manchester City to win all the results, he brought more than a streak to Manchester City...
Benitez's name was repeatedly mentioned again, and it was no longer a joke when it was mentioned again this time.

After the match against Middlesbrough, Manchester City ushered in the FA Cup again, this time in the FA Cup quarterfinals. If Manchester City can beat their opponent Aston Villa, they will enter the FA Cup quarterfinals.
Aston Villa is Manchester City's first opponent this season. In the comeback of Glory, they played the role of Green Leaf well, setting off the comeback of Glory.
At that time, they underestimated the opponents against Manchester City, resulting in a complete defeat to Manchester City with three goals at home.
They made full preparations for this game, and formulated special defensive tactics for Glory, Robinho and Berbatov.
But facing the entire Manchester City team in extremely good shape, their arrangements are useless.
In the FA Cup, Rong Guang kicked his head and scored twice, leading Manchester City B to eliminate Aston Villa and entered the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.
After playing in the FA Cup, Manchester City will welcome Liverpool in the league.
They are going to Anfield Stadium to challenge the current second-ranked team in the Premier League and also Benitez's former boss.
Everyone knows that Benitez left Liverpool, so the media also defined this game as a "battle of revenge". It is not a revenge of glory, nor is it a revenge of any other player, or a revenge of Benitez.
Previously, because the team did not win the Champions League, the senior executives of Liverpool clubs were always worried about this matter. Until the 20726B season, they issued an ultimatum to Benitez, requiring him to lead Liverpool to win the Champions League championship that season, otherwise they would reduce their investment in the team next season, which means that if Benitez cannot win the championship, he would have no money to buy players next season.
Everyone knows who the Champions League champion was in the end that season. Manchester United beat Chelsea in a rainy night in Moscow, making Cristiano Ronaldo.
Benitez had a complete quarrel with Liverpool Club. He announced his resignation after the end of the season and was no longer allowed to give up.
Liverpool found the celebrity Kenny Dalglish. Under his leadership, Liverpool played well and has always been in the top two, and even hoped to compete for the league championship. Benitez has been unemployed at home. Although there have been rumors of "scandals" between him and Real Madrid and Juventus, he did not go anywhere in the end.
Until he came back to coach Manchester City.
When Benitez left Liverpool, the club's senior management did not like him, and Liverpool players didn't speak for him. Except for Spanish players like Torres, Aberoa and Alonso, no one else said anything.
So it is impossible to say that Benitez has no resentment towards Liverpool at all...
He definitely wants to prove that he is doing well in front of his former boss.
How to prove this?
Of course, he led Manchester City to defeat Liverpool
And it was also defeated Liverpool at Anfield Stadium
※※※
For Liverpool, it can be regarded as a "fight of revenge".
Liverpool is now ranked second in the league, 55 points, which is more than seven points away from the first place in the league. The gap is quite large, but it does not mean that there is no hope of winning the championship. They must continue to work hard.
Although the ranking is lower than Manchester United and the points are less than Manchester United. But there is one thing that Liverpool is better than this mortal enemy, that is, the number of games lost.
Manchester United, ranked No. 1, has lost two games so far this season, while Liverpool has lost only one.
If they didn't have too many draws, the position of the league's first and position may have changed a little.
The only game that Liverpool lost was due to Manchester City, or rather, to be glorious.
In the seventh round of the first half of the league, Manchester City faced Liverpool at home.
At that time, Manchester City had already become very bad. Since the two consecutive victories at the beginning of the season, they have never won again. There are rumors that if Mark Hughes can't beat Liverpool, he will be dismissed.
Before the game, no one thought Liverpool would lose to Manchester City, and Mark Hughes's dismissal was a foregone conclusion.
Unexpectedly, the glory of that game came out with a big explosion. He won three goals alone in the game and completed his second hat-trick after coming to Manchester City.
This hat trick also helped Manchester City win at home
Liverpool's unbeaten season ends here.
So if Liverpool wants to seek revenge on Manchester City in this game, it must be because of this...
Chapter completed!
