When the Chinese team returned to the Capital International Airport by plane with the Asian Cup, they were greeted very warmly at the airport square.

The leaders of the Football Association and the General Administration of Sports, the national leaders in charge of sports, and the Young Pioneers stood on the tarmac of the airport with flowers and banners in their hands, ready to greet them.

In addition, there were 200 fans and media on the scene to witness the glory of Chinese football.

And that's not counting the thousands of fans waiting outside the airport.

The last time they won the World Youth Championships, the national youth team didn't have such a big battle when they returned home.

It can be seen that everyone's expectations and support for this national team this time.

Gao Hongbo sat in his seat and saw this scene through the porthole.

He's been a coach for so many years, and he's been a professional player for a long time, but he's never been in a situation like this.

"We have been blessed with glory, Lao Fu." He sighed.

"Hmm. It's a pity that the glory is not here. Fu Bo nodded.

After the game ended last night, Rong Guang, Sun Hai, Gao Lin and Hao Min, the four foreign players, all flew back to their respective clubs. Rongguang and Sun Hai simply took the private jet of Mansour, the behind-the-scenes owner of Manchester City Club, back to Manchester, which could take a little less time than waiting for the airline's plane, and at the same time allowed Rongguang and Sun Hai to be less tired and get enough rest during the journey.

Aim to minimise their negative form when they return to the club.

"That's right, Lao Fu. Before Rong Guang left, I had a few separate conversations with him. I asked him a question, and I asked him why he had rejected the proposal we had proposed in the first place. Guess what he said? ”

Fu Bo was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What did you say?" ”

He said...... If a teammate is not strong enough, he can change clubs. But he can't change his nationality. ”

Gao Hongbo turned his head to look at the phalanx of fans holding banners outside the porthole.

The red banner reads in gold letters: "Win and go crazy together, lose and fight together!" The Chinese team is doing well! ”

The cabin announcement rang out at this time: "The cabin door has been opened, please get off the plane in turn." All members of the Air China xxxx crew congratulate the heroes of the Chinese men's football team on their return with honor! Come on, Chinese team! ”

It's rare to include such a phrase in a routine broadcast routine.

All eyes were captivated.

Cheers also rang out in the rear of the cabin.

"Come on, Chinese team! The Chinese team is doing well! ”

"Let's go to Brazil in 2014!"

"Yes! In 14 years we also went to Brazil to cheer you on!! ”

……

These are the shouts of the Chinese who returned to China on a flight from Doha with the Chinese team.

The Chinese team did not take a charter flight, so they took this flight with ordinary passengers.

Along the way, there were many passengers who went to take photos with the players of the Chinese team, and everyone was very happy and met the requirements of the fans.

The relationship between this national team and the fans is exceptionally harmonious, and there are no stars playing big names, and the fans angrily raise their middle fingers and scold such things as "grass and mud horses".

It's probably not just because the team can win. Perhaps more important is what Rong Guang said to them before the final:

"What is glory for the country? To fight for Chinese fans is to win glory for the country! ”

Gao Hongbo stood up, held the Asian Cup in his hands, and beckoned the captain of the team, Du Ping, to come to his side, and they were the first to appear at the door of the cabin.

In front, all the flight attendants were already greeting them and making a "please" gesture. The smile on everyone's face is no longer professional, but a smile that comes from the heart.

When Du Ping, the captain of the Chinese team, and Gao Hongbo, the head coach, appeared at the door of the cabin holding the Asian Cup together, there were cheers from the audience.

Gao Hongbo looked at the scene in front of him, and thought of what Fu Bo said.

It's a pity that Glory can't see this scene at the scene.

He must have been very happy and enjoyed seeing this......

When the Chinese team returned to China with honors and received a warm welcome at the Capital International Airport, the glory had already appeared at Manchester City's Carrington training base.

"I knew you were coming. Glory. ”

As he was sweating on the training pitch, the voice of manager Rafael Benitez came from behind him.

"Didn't I give you a day off? You should have a good rest at home. ”

Glory turned to face Benitez.

"I'm not tired, boss. The Asian Cup didn't affect me. ”

Benitez only had a smile on his face at this time, and he stretched out his hand to Rongguang: "Welcome home, Rong." ”

Glory also took his hand.

"Congratulations, now you're the Asian champion."

Glory smiled.

"Well, to reveal, I would have liked you to be back after the group stage...... But that's good. We haven't lost yet, although we have been closed by Manchester United...... ' said Benitez.

"I know, so I'm back, boss." Rongguang nodded and said.

Before he came back, he already knew about the shape of the current league.

After the 2-2 draw away to Aston Villa, Manchester City now have 58 points, while Manchester United have accumulated 56 points thanks to the points grabbing in this period, just two points away from Manchester United.

This is a very dangerous score gap.

A single game can make two teams shift in the league standings.

Ibrahimovic was sent off again for protesting the referee's decision.

To make matters worse, after he was off the pitch, he clapped at the referee and cursed at the fourth official as he walked off the pitch: "You and all of you are disgusting!!" ”

This qiē was written into the match report.

The FA has since announced that it will impose an additional penalty on Ibrahimovic, adding two more sentences to the original one-match ban.

That is, Ibrahimovic will be banned for a total of three games.

In the 25th round, Manchester City took on Birmingham City away, and this opponent was not very strong.

In the 26th round, Manchester City host West Bromwich Albion, an opponent who is not very strong.

But in the 27th round, the final game of Ibrahimovic's suspension, Manchester City will go to Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United.

This opponent is very strong, and with this being a direct dialogue between two title contenders, United will not be able to let Manchester City go lightly.

Without Ibrahimovic, City's attacking power will inevitably suffer.

Manchester City have appealed Ibrahimovic's two-match suspension. But the results are not encouraging.

In addition, the English media have also been paying attention to Ibrahimovic in the past few days.

What kind of temperamental person Ibrahimovic is, everyone knows very well, and he has only exploded until now, which is quite surprising to everyone.

"This ticking time bomb has finally exploded!"

However, there are also media outlets that regret that Ibrahimovic did not explode sooner, such as the North London Clarion newspaper, which felt that it was too late. If Ibrahimovic had exploded earlier, Arsenal could have beaten Manchester City at home......

There are also media outlets that have analyzed why Ibrahimovic suddenly exploded, believing that the reason was too much pressure.

After the departure of Rongguang, as the biggest star in the team, Ibrahimovic naturally shoulders more responsibilities, and it is no secret that he and Rongguang compete. When the glory is there, what are Manchester City's achievements and what is the table, everyone sees it.

As a result, City's results slipped all the way down, and the lead over Manchester United went from six points to two, which put him under a lot of pressure. It's as if he's lost to glory.

So in the end, Ibrahimovic made that move on the pitch.

Now he has brought himself a harsher punishment.

The only good news for Manchester City in such a situation is that Glory has finally returned to the team after playing the Asian Cup.

If Manchester City lose both glory and Ibrahimovic, it will be a really difficult game to play, even against Birmingham......

Because Birmingham are now 17th in the table, and below them are in the relegation zone where the bottom three of the league are located, and they are only two points away from the relegation zone - Birmingham are now 24 points, 18th Wolves and 19th Wigan Athletic are both 22 points, and West Ham United are 21 points from bottom of the table, so Birmingham's situation is more dangerous.

With fourteen league rounds remaining, the relegation battle has begun.

If anyone is not careful, they may end up with a tragedy of degrading.

Hearing Glory's words, Benitez laughed.

"yes, you're back. But I'm still a little worried, Rong. After all, you've played such an intense Asian Cup in the far Middle East, and I'm even thinking about the next game against Birmingham and putting you on the bench for the time being......"

Honorable quickly interrupted Benitez when he heard this: "If you must let me rest, boss." Then you put me in the starting line-up and then replace me at half-time. ”

Benitez was stunned for a moment, what is this request?

'Birmingham are fighting for relegation now and they are in high spirits at their home turf. I'm afraid that they will beat me up and it will be useless when I come off the bench......" Rong Guang explained.

Benitez then understood.

He thought about it for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then let's say okay, you are only allowed to play for forty-five minutes." After all, we have a city derby against Manchester United behind us. ”

Rongguang agreed: "No problem. ”

"Then I won't bother you, but still pay attention to rest." Benitez said goodbye to glory.

"I know, thank you boss."

Benitez couldn't help but laugh as he turned around - what a lucky thing to be a coach to have such a player...... I752
