Chapter 1118: Leaving the team

Glory left Manchester City to report for the national team, and the last game was the 18th round of the league, when Manchester City hosted Everton.

This game is getting closer.

Everton have been a formidable force to be reckoned with in the Premier League under David Moyes, with a long stay in the middle of the table and the occasional push into European places. This team is the kind of opponent who will die miserably if you underestimate him.

Consider last season, Manchester City's only defeat was against Everton.

If they hadn't lost to Everton, the Glory wouldn't have had to work so hard now to lead the team to gamble with the North London Clarion. Because Manchester City may have already completed a streak of unbeaten streaks that overtook Arsenal.

Just as the 18th round of the league was about to begin, the weather was bad across the UK, and many outdoor sports could not be played due to the weather, and football was no exception.

There are actually three games in this round of the league, one is Sunderland at home to Boalton, another is Blackburn at home to West Ham United, and the other is Manchester City and Everton.

All other games have been postponed......

The match between Manchester City and Everton will be played as normal.

Ahead of this game, the media throughout England were hyping that Glory would leave Manchester City for the Asian Cup after this game, and Manchester City would play five league games without Glory, what kind of impact would this have on the rest of the league......

Manchester City fans are also worried.

However, some people are not happy with such media hype.

Manchester City and Everton had just started the game when Everton unexpectedly took the lead thanks to Tim Cahill's header.

It had only been four minutes into the game, and many City fans had not yet found a seat to sit down......

The score changed.

'It was a bit of a surprise and City's players didn't seem to be in game shape yet...... If City lose this game, it will be an unexpected defeat...... What Manchester City wanted to avoid was a defeat after Wing left, and they lost before Wing left......"

City fans weren't worried for long, though, and in the eighth minute, just four minutes after Everton's goal, Zlatan Ibrahimovic levelled the scores with a header from inside the box.

There was a huge cheer from the stands.

"Ibrahimovic! He equalised for Manchester City! ”

Ibrahimovic did not celebrate the goal after the goal, but ran towards glory.

Everyone thought he was going to celebrate the goal with Glory, but it was a strange celebration.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's goal was not given to him by Glory, and even if he wanted to celebrate after the goal, he should have gone to David Silva, who assisted him, not Glory......

Besides, with his relationship with Rongguang, he will definitely not go to Zhao Rongguang to celebrate the goal after scoring a goal.

Sure enough, Ibrahimovic ran in front of Rongguang and didn't open his arms to hug Rongguang, and Rongguang didn't think Ibrahimovic would celebrate with him at all, so he stood there and didn't do anything, and didn't raise his hands to make a hug.

He just looked up at Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic looked down at him and said to him: "Don't think you can't play without this team!" ”

Then he turned, clenched his fists, and roared to the sky.

He was clearly unhappy with the overwhelming media outcry, and in their eyes, it seemed as if Manchester City were only in glory, without which they were about to collapse.

This kind of rhetoric is, to be honest, a slight and an insult to other Manchester City players.

So Ibrahimovic was upset.

With Lao Tzu in the team, can the table be worse?

All day is glorious, glorious, glorious!

I've had enough!

Now keep your dog's eyes open, Manchester City and my big Zlatan!

Behind Ibrahimovic's back, Glory rolled his eyes.

However, seeing Ibrahimovic in such good form, he may really be reassured.

At least in the days since he left the team, there are still Ibrahimovic and Sneijder, David Silva and other teammates.

Of course, he can't let Ibrahimovic dominate the front.

He has to compete with himself, and he can't be cowardly.

Just before half-time, Glory beat Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard in the box and slotted the ball into the empty net to put City in the lead.

"Rong! His goal was beautiful, in a very tight space in the box, and he still got past goalkeeper Howard to shoot! What a daring artist! ”

Cheers rang out over the Manchester City Stadium.

The glorious table made them even more reluctant to let this person leave the team and play in the Asian Cup.

Everton manager David Moyes shook his head.

With such two people, it is really difficult to win this game.

After the start of the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Manchester City, who were still playing at home, were firmly in control of the situation on the field.

Ibrahimovic and Glory are both in good form, Everton can't fight back at all, they have to focus all their energy on defending in the game, otherwise they don't know when they will concede.

So even though they are only one point away from Manchester City, it also feels like an insurmountable barrier to them.

Ibrahimovic and Glory are completely two styles of players, and although they both want to have the ball at their feet, Glory is the kind of person who tortures his opponent's knees with constant changes of direction in high-speed breaks. Ibrahimovic, on the other hand, is the one who uses skillful foot techniques and feints to trick his opponents at slow speed or at a standstill.

It's hard to snatch the football from both of them.

If these two people can work together, it will be an invincible offensive combination in the world.

With two men up front, Sneijder's job is much easier, as he no longer has to constantly look for openings and then try to tear apart the defence with passes. He now just has to pass the football to these two men and can wait to see the opposing defences torn apart......

In the end, in the second half, Ibrahimovic set up David Silva for a goal.

Manchester City beat Everton 3-1 at their own home.

Glory will also say goodbye to Manchester City after this game, and in the next month, Manchester City will be in the "post-glory era", but the game against Everton still gives Manchester City fans some confidence, although we have no glory, but we still have Ibrahimovic, as well as Sneijder, David Silva. There are also players like Berbatov on the bench.

We just need to hold out for a month, and the glory will be back!

This month will soon pass......

After the competition, Rong Guang returned home, rested for the night, and he was about to return to China with Sun Hai.

And Chinese fans have been waiting for a long time, they are looking forward to what the national team will do in the Asian Cup after returning to the Chinese team with glory.

Also on the 18th, Manchester City's league game was at 9 p.m. Beijing time, and in the afternoon of Beijing time, the Chinese national team now played their penultimate warm-up match before the Asian Cup in Zhuhai, against Estonia.

In the end, the Chinese team, which did not have foreign players, defeated Estonia 3-0 in Zhuhai.

It has made a good start to the preparation of the national football team for the Asian Cup.

However, some people said that this Estonian team is a second team, so this victory has little value......

On December 22, the last warm-up match of the Chinese team in China before the Asian Cup, their opponent was Macedonia.

The match was played in Foshan, so Foshan was already crowded, and the streets were full of groups of Chinese fans with different accents from all over the country, all waiting for the game.

Now, China's sports media and fans are in Asian Cup form.

※※※

The next day, Rong Guang and Sun Hai left the airport in Manchester, and there were many waiting English and Chinese media reporters outside the airport, all of whom had come to report the news of Rong Guang's departure.

Chinese journalists would then fly back to China on flights at other times, while English reporters were more likely to come to see off Rongguang.

Glory leaving at a time when the Premier League is in full swing will inevitably have an impact on the Premier League.

There has never been such a person in the history of the Premier League, and his departure will be so touching.

The Africa Cup of Nations is also held every four years, and there are also many international players of African national teams in the Premier League. But I haven't heard of any player who can attract so much media attention and such a big movement when he goes back to the Africa Cup of Nations, nor have I heard that the entire Premier League title race has changed without a player......

Only glory.

As they watched the plane soar into the sky, some British reporters outside the airport breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally gone!" ”

These are either Arsenal supporters, Manchester United supporters, and possibly supporters of other teams, but it is certain that there will never be a Manchester City supporter among them.

※※※

On the plane, Sun Hai, who was sitting next to Rongguang, turned his head and said to Rongguang: "I'm still a little worried, when we come back, the unbeaten streak has been ended." Have you looked at the team's schedule? In the twenty-second round, it is to challenge Arsenal away, and Arsenal will definitely not let go of that opportunity......"

Glory shrugged: "So what? I choose to trust my teammates. When I come out, I won't think about the club, and I'll play the national team game first. ”

Sun Hai remembered: "Yes, you can amplify the ...... on TV and say that you want to win the Asian Cup."

"Brother Sun, is it a big deal for the Chinese team to win the Asian Cup?" Rong Guang asked. "I've always had this doubt, and after I said that time, some reporters said something similar to me, thinking that I had put a lot of pressure on everyone."

If someone else asks this, Sun Hai must think that the other party is deliberately finding fault and mocking the Chinese team.

But when Rongguang asked, Sun Hai wouldn't think so. Because Rong Guang can be said to know nothing about the past of Chinese football, even if he decided to join the national team, he did not learn about the history of Chinese football.

But then again, what's there to know about that kind of history?

Faced with Rongguang's question, Sun Hai also felt that it was normal, with Rongguang's strength, he was naturally qualified to ask such a question.

"This ...... Ahem, how do you say that? Chinese football is not the same as football in other parts of the world, and some things and truths that are taken for granted in other places will not work in Chinese football...... In short, you'll know then. Anyway, I think we'll be satisfied if we can break into the playoffs! ”

Sun Hai rested his head on the pillow of the first-class seat, closed his eyes, and wanted to rest.

As a veteran player who has followed the Chinese team to the World Cup and the Asian Cup, he knows more about Chinese football than Glory.

Rong Guang dared to say something like that, but Sun Hai didn't dare to dream like that......
