Chapter 1157: Benitez's Fortune

When Glory returned to the dressing room after his training on the training ground, his Manchester City team-mates were also here to change their clothes.

Seeing the glory, everyone was stunned.

Then Snead went up and patted Glory on the shoulder: "You're finally back!" ”

Everyone else went up to hug Glory and welcome him back.

In the month and a half that Rong Guang was gone, they really missed Rong Guang every day, and the importance of Rong Guang to them was vividly reflected when Rong Guang was gone.

Despite everyone's hard work, including Ibrahimovic, the gap between them and Manchester United is still narrowing little by little.

Well, now the glory is back!

Everyone stepped forward to welcome the return of glory, with only one exception.

Ibrahimovic sat in his place and did not come forward at all, he changed his clothes without looking over there, showing his indifference.

But in fact, he listened to every word that his teammates welcomed Rongguang.

He doesn't complain about his teammates' enthusiasm for Glory. Because in this month and a half, the team's table is really not good.

Before Glory left, the entire team had drawn only four of their eighteen league games, and after Glory left, Manchester City had drawn three of just five league games.

His own appearance is not satisfactory, and he himself is not satisfied...... He was not able to help the team beat Arsenal, Blackpool and Aston Villa. In addition to Arsenal, the other two Ibrahimovic teams of these three teams do not think they are strong teams, and it stands to reason that they should be able to win.

But it didn't.

Ibrahimovic hated his incompetence, so he didn't have time to resent the crowd of people to welcome the glory.

※※※

When the crowd finally dispersed, Glory saw Ibrahimovic with his back to him, tying his shoes.

He put one foot on the stool and bent down to tie his shoes.

Glory walked over and walked to his seat - in the dressing room at the Carrington training base, next to Ibrahimovic.

Standing in front of his closet, Glory also began to change clothes.

Ibrahimovic, who bowed his head and tied his shoes, knew that glory was coming, and stood next to him, but he still did not look up, as if he did not know the qiē at all.

He was about to tie the lace of his right foot......

At this moment, the voice of glory suddenly sounded in my ears.

'I watched the game against Arsenal and it was a beautiful long-range shot. I didn't win, but I still want to thank you. That would give us a chance to surpass Arsenal's unbeaten league record. ”

Ibrahimovic paused.

But it was only a pause.

Soon Ibrahimovic was back on his feet, putting his right foot down and tying his shoelaces with his left foot.

And the answer to glory was Ibrahimovich's snort from his nose.

After training began, assistant coach Manuel Pellegrino noticed something and he went to Benitez between training sessions to verify what he had seen.

"Have you noticed, Rafa. I think Ibrahimovic's attitude to training is different from before......"

Benitez nodded: "I saw it too." Mauricio. ”

"He's training more aggressively, he's working harder......"

Benitez turned his gaze to Rong Guang, who was surrounded by other players, and smiled: "I think it must be because Rong is back." ”

The healthy competition between the two is about to start again.

This gives Benitez a lot of confidence for the next game.

The first half of the season was because these two were competing with each other, so whether in the league or in the Champions League, Manchester City's performance was very good.

With this relationship between these two people, if two people are replaced, the team may be divided.

But what happened to Glory and Ibrahimovic not only did not split the team, but in the competition between the two, the team's performance is getting better and better.

This morning, he still hadn't thought too much about it.

It is not the happiness of a person who has glory.

It's about having both glory and Ibrahimovic, which is a blessing for him as a manager.

※※※

Domestically, the rush to win the Asian Cup has not yet subsided, and Rong Guang and Sun Hai have already reached the 25th round of their league at Manchester City.

Manchester City will travel to Birmingham City.

In this game, judging from the starting list announced before the game, Benitez did not let Glory rest.

Also starting alongside Glory was Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Because Manchester City appealed against Ibrahimovic's additional penalty, the ban will not be applied until the appeal is out, and Ibrahimovic will be available for this game against Birmingham.

After all, Rongguang has just returned from the Asian Cup, and I don't know what the state will be.

So adding an Ibrahimovic is tantamount to a double insurance for victory.

This match, because it was Glory's first club match since the Asian Cup, also attracted much attention.

Everyone wants to see the glorious table xiàn.

On the night of the Asian Cup final, he flew back to Manchester on a private jet provided by Mansour, showing the desperate need for him from all over Manchester City.

Since there is such a need for glory, what will glory come up with?

Will playing in the Asian Cup put some burden on his body, and will those burdens make him sluggish in form during the game?

These are all things that everyone is curious about.

When Glory wore the captain's armband of Manchester City and was the first to walk off the pitch, the camera lens and camera lens were all aimed at him.

According to common sense, anyone who participated in an intercontinental competition such as the Asian Cup, from the first group stage to the final, started every game, and was never replaced in advance. Kicked every minute.

His fitness must have been an issue, and it had been heard that Glory had been training with the team on his second day back in Manchester.

No rest at all.

This fatigue may not be felt by the players themselves at first, but it will definitely show itself during the game.

Birmingham fans are just waiting to see the glory shine in the game.

※※※

The referee blew the whistle and the game began.

Birmingham kick-off.

They launched an attack and it ended with a shot.

However, their shots were pressed by Lucio and could not threaten the goal guarded by Joe Hart, who was easily held in his arms.

As soon as Joe Hart looked up, he saw the glory of retreating into the box turn and run forward, raising his arms up.

He's not afraid to be seen that he's asking for the ball.

Seeing this, Joe Hart threw the ball straight away.

To be honest, during the month and a half that Rongguang was away, he really missed the feeling of Rongguang on the field, as long as he threw the football over, he didn't have to worry about the ball being broken.

Sure enough, although the football was behind him, and Rongguang was still facing the close defense of the Birmingham players, Rongguang still lifted his right leg up during the run, and then stretched out his right foot, and used the outside of his right foot to unload the football flying in the air steadily.

The soccer ball that was vigorously thrown by Joe Hart was like glue on the outer instep of Glory, and it stuck to Glory's outer instep and went forward with Glory's movements.

Glory stopped the ball with the outside of his right foot and sent it forward, and his running speed was not affected by the stoppage in the slightest.

Next, he slashed his right foot over the ball from the outside and made a feint to move the ball to the left.

The Birmingham player who was defending him in front of him followed suit, but Glory's right foot just slid past the ball and then then flicked it to the right with the outside instep.

Immediately afterwards, Glory shifted to the right, shaking off the Birmingham players who were defending him close to him and the Birmingham players who were blocking him head-on.

The two Birmingham players collided directly into each other......

And in front of the glory, there is already a flat river, and no one can stop him!

"Rong-!" John Mortensen shouted. It's been a month and a half, and I'm finally able to call out this person's name again......

"The Birmingham fans in the stands booed the glory, hoping to get the glory, but it was obviously impossible!" CCTV still broadcast the game live, and He Ping, as the game commentator, also said excitedly.

Just now he witnessed the glory of the Asian Cup, and now he has seen the same table in the same shirt as he changed into a jersey. In fact, He Ping still misses him a little......

Now the whole country is celebrating the Asian Cup championship, but the biggest hero is missing from these celebrations.

Glory has left fame and fortune behind him, and has already galloped on the Premier League field!

Glory dribbled the ball towards Birmingham's goal, and then faced the attacking goalkeeper and made an arc directly with the inside of his foot.

The ball slipped past the goalkeeper's hand and into the goal behind him!

“gooooooal!! Glory! Glory! Glory! It's only one minute and twenty-five seconds into the race! Manchester City take the lead on the road! It was ...... who scored the goal Glory!! John Mortensen raised his arms and shouted.

Alan Hansen, who was next to him, also said excitedly: "What a phenomenal player. Long journeys, month-long campaigns...... None of this seemed to affect him at all, and Rong's appearance was just like he was before he left Manchester City, so good that people despair! ”

After the goal, he turned around and waved his fist and ran towards the center circle.

He wasn't too excited.

It was a bit of a surprise to him, he didn't think he had been back in the league for a month and a half, and he should have been very excited to score here.

But on the contrary, he is very calm.

When he scored, he habitually glanced up at the stands, and when he noticed that there were no red fans waving arms and waving the flag in the stands in front of him, he was a little disappointed.

Naturally, this goal was not too exciting.

The Asian Cup is over, but he doesn't seem to be able to get out of that atmosphere yet...... I580
