After the game against Sunderland, Manchester City held an internal Christmas dinner with the players and their families in attendance, and everyone gathered for a good meal.

It was also City's only easy moment at Christmas.

Next, there are intensive events.

Just after Christmas, the next day is Manchester City's home game against Stoke City.

Before this game, Manchester City officially announced that the injured Robinho has returned from injury.

So a reporter asked Benitez at a regular press conference when Robinho would be able to play again.

Benitez did not give a clear answer.

"It depends...... Benitez said.

"Will Robinho's return have some impact on David Silva's start?" A Spanish journalist asked him about this question, of course.

"I don't think so." Benitez shook his head.

The Spanish journalist looked relaxed when he heard the manager's answer.

As a Spanish journalist, it is normal to be concerned about the condition of Spanish players.

But Benitez's answer sounded something different to the ears of the Brazilian journalists.

His answer is definitely not good news for Robinho.

Because he is tantamount to telling everyone that even if Robinho returns from injury, it is impossible to return to the starting lineup......

The next day, similar reports appeared in the Brazilian media.

"Benitez: Robinho won't be back in the starting line-up!"

"Benitez prefers David Silva!"

"The care of the Spanish folks?"

"Benitez gives up Robinho!"

……

The Brazilian media naturally supported Robinho, who was injured before and couldn't play. Now that Robinho has returned from injury, Benitez still said that he would not consider replacing David Silva, and the Brazilian media cannot sit still.

However, these media reports and criticisms from far away Brazil clearly do not pose any threat to Benitez.

Benitez may not have heard the Brazilian media's appeal at all......

In short, in the 19th round of the league, Manchester City played Stoke City at home, David Silva still started.

And Robinho got on the bench.

From this point of view, Benitez did not give up on Robinho, as some Brazilian media have said.

As a player who has just recovered from injury, it is normal for Robinho not to start, and being on the bench means that there is still a chance to come off the bench. Tong guò came off the bench to gradually find the feeling of the game.

David Silva continued to play well in this game, although he did not score or assist, but he was active in the team's midfield and caused problems for Stoke City's backline on several occasions.

In the end, Manchester City beat Stoke City 2-0 at their home stadium.

Robinho came off the bench in the 77th minute for David Silva.

After a series of games, David Silva's fitness was a bit weak, after all, he was injured during pre-season training in the summer and missed the opportunity to train on the fitness reserve, which made David Silva's fitness unable to keep up with the pace of the team.

Robinho, who came on as a substitute for David Silva, was mediocre and didn't have any eye-catching performances. Because David Silva's previous watch was too good, it made Robinho's watch too good......

Originally, it was just a mediocre table, but in the end it became a bad table. Robinho is actually a little wronged.

The Brazilian media were unhappy with Benitez for giving Robinho 15 minutes of playing time.

Of course, Benitez still can't see or hear.

Three days later, Manchester City travelled to Wolves.

It was a very important game for Manchester City and one that will go down in history in English football.

Because if Manchester City beat Wolves away, they will be unbeaten in the 2009 calendar year!

At the same time, if Manchester City win this game, then they will have a brilliant record of 40 games unbeaten!

In fact, Manchester City has long made history.

Prior to this game, their longest top-flight unbeaten run in their club's history was 39 games, set in the beating of Stoke City – yes, every game for City is writing a new legend for their club.

Prior to this Manchester City, Manchester City's unbeaten streak in the top flight was 22 games, and that was in the 1936-1937 season. Manchester City manager Wilf Wild led his side to a record 22 games unbeaten in the top flight.

But that record has now been dramatically rewritten by Rafael Benitez's side.

And throughout 2009, Manchester City did not lose a single game!

Not just in the league, but in the FA Cup and the Champions League, the League Cup.

Manchester City have won all of their games in the first half of the year, beating Manchester United in the FA Cup to win the title.

In the second half of the year, there were no FA Cup matches, but there were Champions League and League Cup, and Manchester City also maintained a good record of winning all of them in the Champions League and League Cup.

Add to that the league and Community Shield, and this year, Manchester City have not lost all competitions!

This is a very impressive achievement, and no team in England has been able to do it before.

Even Arsenal, who are unbeaten in 49 games, have not lost a game in a year......

Now Manchester City only need to win this last game and they can become the number one in the history of English football!

※※※

"Manchester City have stunned us countless times since the beginning of the year, but when the moment is approaching, we can't even think of it...... When our impression is still on the league lift, the fish belly team, they have already accomplished such a great achievement! ”

"I haven't lost a game in a whole year, what a great table! This Manchester City team is simply dominant in English football today! ”

……

Ahead of the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers, the media focus in England was on Manchester City's results over the past year.

The Manchester Evening News gave the year a name: "A great year for Manchester City".

“…… In the outgoing 2009, it clearly belongs to Manchester City. This team was a bit of a ridicule the year before, but now, they have made everyone look up to them. Defeating them is the common goal of everyone. But alas, until now, no one has been able to beat Manchester City! Is it okay with Wolves? To be honest, although Wolves are playing at home, I don't fancy them beating Manchester City at home. Manchester City are one game away from completing a great calendar year and there is really no reason for them to tumble in the gutter in this final game......

This was supposed to be an ordinary league, and there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, so it stands to reason that there shouldn't be so much attention.

But who made this game infused with other meanings?

It seems like a milestone.

After this game, Manchester City has created a great legend.

And if you lose this game, all the previous praise will become fireworks in the air, and after blooming, they will disappear with the wind, leaving nothing but the smell of gunsmoke.

All journalists, media and fans are watching this game.

In this game, it was David Silva who started the game, not Robinho, who has returned from injury.

Robinho returned from injury and was named in the squad for two consecutive games, but neither was able to start.

Manchester City, who played away from home, were dominated by the visitors, besieging the Wolves penalty area.

David Silva is still a very active Manchester City player, and his combination with Glory is as good as ever.

In the 27th minute, he assisted Rong Guang to score the first goal of the game.

"Rong! Glory!! It was his fifteenth league goal of the season! It was also his 54th goal of the year! ”

"He's still the all-powerful Rong! Manchester City's great year is indispensable for Rong's outstanding performance! ”

After the goal, Glory took the initiative to run and hug David Silva.

And the commentators also cheered for David Silva: "David Silva, this is his sixth assist in the league this season!" He is the second-best assister on the team behind Sneijder, with the same number of assists as Glory. But you must know that he has only played the main force in the last month or so......"

"David Silva has made City's attack more efficient and more threatening!" The Spanish commentator cheered for David Silva.

※※※

The rest of his team-mates flocked to David Silva and hugged him in celebration.

Robinho, who was sitting on the bench, had a gloomy face.

At the same time, the televised broadcast also cut to Robinho for a close-up.

Robinho's expression in the close-up is stern.

The narrator didn't say much at this time, but everyone could see the meaning of this shot.

With Robinho back from injury and two games back, David Silva's performance shows no signs of declining at all, so how can Robinho successfully fight back?

At this time, Benitez really has no reason to replace the in-form David Silva and then let Robinho, who has missed more than a month due to injury, start......

※※※

Glory's goal opened the door for Manchester City to win. According to statistics, Manchester City is the best team in the Premier League to play downwind, and as long as they score first, the winning rate is very high.

However, as Manchester City's opponent, Wolves' table is still very qualified.

They didn't give up on themselves after conceding a goal.

Instead, they continued to play with Manchester City.

Clearly, they don't want to make themselves a stepping stone to Manchester City's record......

But their performance has added a lot of gold to Manchester City's game.

Make this record of Manchester City even more meaningful!
