Chapter 1117: The Influence of Glory Absent
It makes sense for Manchester City to do this, because according to FIFA requirements, players report to the national team three days before the tournament for warm-up matches and friendlies, one week for official matches such as World Cup qualifiers, and 15 days before the continental competition.
So Manchester City only needs to let Rongguang report to the Chinese team fifteen days in advance.
The Asian Cup starts on January 8, Beijing time, so Manchester City only needs to let Rong Guang leave the team and report to the national team on December 24.
In this way, the glory can also play in the 18th round of the league, Manchester City will host Everton on December 20.
In fact, according to Manchester City's original idea, they wanted Glory to report to the national team on January 1.
But this Chinese Football Association will definitely not accept it.
The two sides have been arguing until now, until Manchester City brought up the FIFA rules. The Chinese Football Association also asked people to check whether FIFA really has this rule, so as not to bluff Manchester City.
After a check, I found that there really is such a rule.
The Chinese Football Association looked at when the 18th round of Manchester City's league was and found that it was in the early morning of December 21, Beijing time, and they negotiated with the club again.
Although FIFA regulations are to return to the team fifteen days in advance, but Manchester City's league ended on the evening of the 20th local time, so it is not interesting to let Rongguang continue to stay in the club, even if he trains on Manchester City's side until the 23rd, it is impossible to participate in the 19th round of the league on the 26th, so what to do in the team?
It's better to let Rongguang report to the national team after the game with Everton is over.
Their request is quite reasonable, and this time it will be Manchester City who can't refuse.
It really makes no sense to let Rongguang continue to stay in the Manchester City club, if Manchester City does not agree to this request of the Chinese Football Association, it will be completely fighting with the Chinese Football Association.
But what's so combative?
Both sides are for their own interests, and in fact, there are no personal grudges.
In the end, Manchester City also agreed to the request of the Chinese Football Association.
In this way, the two sides agreed that Rongguang could leave Manchester City after the match between Manchester City and Everton and report to the Chinese team.
And at this time, the seventeenth round of the league is about to start.
Manchester City take on West Ham United away from home.
Glory started the game.
Gao Hongbo, on the other hand, watched the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV.
With the Asian Cup approaching, Gao Hongbo's biggest concern now is the injury of his players, most of the Chinese team are players from the local league, and the Chinese Super League has ended, so this concern is limited to the training ground.
However, Rongguang, Gao Lin, Sun Hai and Hao Min, the four foreign players, are still playing in the European League, and if they are injured, it will have a great impact on the team.
Especially the glory.
So now every time the glory is played, Gao Hongbo is worried.
Like Manchester City's previous two Champions League group games, Gao Hongbo didn't want to be honored.
Now fighting the tough-hearted "Hammer Gang", Gao Hongbo is even more worried about Rongguang's injury.
But fortunately, there was no cardiac arrest for Gao Hongbo in this game.
Glory played 90 minutes without a sounding finish, and he also scored a goal in the game, as City beat West Ham United 3-1 away.
Manchester United, on the other hand, were also outstanding, beating Arsenal 1-0 at home to keep a six-point gap to Manchester City and chasing them closely.
During this time, they don't want to do anything with Manchester City, as long as they can keep biting Manchester City.
They know very well that their chances and hopes are after the glorious departure of Manchester City, when the time comes, Manchester City's table will definitely be up and down, and then, it will be Manchester United's chance to really do Manchester City!
※※※
On the Chinese Internet and in the media, the topic of when Rongguang will return to the national team is also the topic that everyone is most concerned about.
After the Chinese Football Association and Manchester City Club reached an agreement, some Chinese media broke the news for the first time.
Now everyone knows that Rongguang will report back to the national team as soon as possible after the game against Everton, and Chinese fans are now waiting for this moment.
It's not just the Chinese media that are paying attention to when Rongguang will report to the national team, the media in England are also concerned about when Rongguang will go to the national team.
Because it's important.
The Manchester Evening News said that Glory went to the Asian Cup, which is likely to be a turning point enough to change the ownership of the league title this season.
If the glory is not gone, it will be very difficult for Manchester United to catch up with Manchester City.
Because the state of glory is too stable.
But now...... Suddenly, there was a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and Rongguang was going to participate in the Asian Cup!
Rongguang, who had never played a national team game before, suddenly decided to join the Chinese national team, and then quickly participated in three warm-up matches, and then went to play the Asian Cup!
This rhythm was unexpected by everyone.
The originally calm league shì suddenly had a twist and turn.
Now the English media is concerned about what will happen to Manchester City during the period when Rongguang leaves the team, and what kind of shape will be when Rongguang returns to Manchester City.
So when Manchester City FC and the Chinese Football Association reached an agreement, it was quickly exposed not only in the Chinese media and the Internet, but also in the British media.
Glory will leave Manchester City after the game against Everton.
When will he come back again?
Even if China is eliminated from the group stage.
China's final game in the group stage is January 16 GMT, after which Rong Guang should be able to return to the team.
But at that time, all 23 rounds of the Premier League were played.
From 19 to 23 rounds, five league rounds.
There are so many stories that can happen in these five leagues......
Manchester City travel to Newcastle United in the 19th round, while Manchester United host Sunderland.
In the twentieth round, Manchester City hosted Aston Villa, and Manchester United played Birmingham away.
In the 21st round, Manchester City hosted Blackpool, and Manchester United challenged West Bromwich Albion away.
In the 22nd round, Manchester City challenged Arsenal away, and Manchester United hosted Stoke City.
In the 23rd round, Manchester City hosted Wolves, while Manchester United took on Tottenham Hotspur away.
Among them, the 22nd round is the most dangerous for Manchester City, playing Arsenal away.
At that time, Arsenal will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity for revenge, how will Manchester City, which has no glory, face the vengeful Arsenal?
Should they slip up in this game, United will catch up.
And that's just the assumption that the Chinese team was eliminated from the group stage.
If the Chinese team passes the group stage and enters the knockout round, there will be a new situation.
In short, now Manchester City fans have begun to hope that the Chinese team will lose all three games in the group stage and go home early.
Although the Chinese team is a glorious motherland, compared with the interests of their own clubs, what does it matter to other people's motherland?
Manchester United fans, on the other hand, hope that the Chinese team can make it all the way to the final, because in that case, Rongguang will not be able to return to Manchester until January 30, and Rongguang will miss one more league game at Manchester City.
They only hate the short time of the Asian Cup, and some United fans have simply asked online: "Why aren't there 32 teams participating in the Asian Cup?" ”
In addition to the race for the league title, there is another thing that will also change due to the absence of Glory.
That's the unbeaten league record.
As of the 17th round of the 2010-2011 season, Manchester City have been unbeaten in 34 consecutive league games.
The last time they lost was in the 23rd round of last season, when they lost 2-0 away to Everton.
After the defeat to Everton, Manchester City's all-time unbeaten run of 40 league games came to an abrupt end.
They also failed to surpass Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten streak, much to the relief of the Arsenal man.
Later, because of a war of words with a pro-Arsenal media outlet, Rong Guang vowed to renew a record of unbeaten streak that could surpass Arsenal - at least 50 league games unbeaten!
At first, the Arsenal people didn't take it seriously, laughing at the glory and foolish dreams.
But now, they don't see it that way.
Because City are 34 games unbeaten since the defeat to Everton, just six games away from their last 40-game unbeaten run, and sixteen games away from surpassing Arsenal's record - Glory is serious, and he is indeed leading City step by step towards that goal!
However, at this time, Rongguang is going to the Asian Cup, and he is not in the Manchester City team!
He can't control Manchester City's results. When Manchester City has no glory, it is normal to lose one game or two.
Even if City didn't lose at the beginning, Arsenal had a way to make City lose. Because one of the rounds is a direct dialogue between Arsenal and Manchester City, Arsenal hosts Manchester City!
When the time comes, Arsenal will definitely end Manchester City's unbeaten streak personally!
Arsenal fans don't care about the league title or anything, but as long as they can make Manchester City lose, they feel like they've paid off.
There is a sense of accomplishment that has successfully put an end to the Great Demon King's plot to destroy the Miè Earth.
Now it seems that if Rongguang wants to leave Manchester City to participate in the Asian Cup, there are still a lot of hurdles in front of Manchester City......
There are other teams that have been defeated by Manchester City, and I am afraid they also want to take revenge.
Originally, Manchester City was the target of everyone, but there was glory before, and everyone wanted to win.
In the eyes of many people, Manchester City, which has lost its glory, is like a beautiful woman who has stripped naked, defenseless and can only be ****.
The North London Clarion newspaper was particularly active in reporting on Glory's participation in the Asian Cup, and although they did not say it explicitly, everyone could see their thoughts, just like a child at home wishing that his parents would go on vacation early and leave him alone at home, so that he could do whatever he wanted at home......
