The next day's examination results were a relief to Rong Guang - the results showed that his body was normal, and there were no problems with the part he had injured in the previous game against Arsenal, which was up to the standard of playing. He can now prepare for the away game against Fulham.

Ahead of the game against Fulham, Glory reappeared in the team's starting line-up.

In the game, he also scored a goal as if he had inexhaustible glory.

But he was not able to help City to victory.

Manchester City, who had just lost to Manchester United, were demoralized, coupled with a change of manager. Had it not been for Glory's goal, Manchester City would have lost away to Fulham.

In the end, they played a 1:1 draw with each other.

“…… We thought that after replacing Mark Hughes, the team would be able to get a long-awaited victory. But now it seems that City's problems are even more serious than we thought...... Young, who has returned from injury, is the best player in the team, but he is unable to reverse City's decline alone. Mark Bowen is really just a transition coach......"

Carlo Ancelotti is said to have turned down an offer from Manchester City, intending to complete his contract with AC Milan and not to leave the club in the middle of the season to go to a completely unknown league...... City's selection of managers has suffered a setback and they have had to make another ......

'Manchester City have to hurry up and decide on a manager, otherwise they will have to start planning for next season......

……

“…… In the 17th round of the league, Manchester City lost 0:1 at home to Everton, which is the first home game they have lost? ”

"In the eighteenth round, Manchester City lost 1:2 away to West Bromwich Albion, and the first half of the season is almost over, but Manchester City has fallen into the relegation zone...... This is really a symbolic ranking. It's embarrassing that the team that was built so heavily before the season has fallen into such a field......"

"Manchester City FC is said to be in contact with Rafael Benitez's agent, and there are not many managers in Europe who can come to coach Manchester City midway through the season, and Benitez, who has been at home this season, may be the only choice......

"In the 19th round of the league, Manchester City drew 2:2 at home to Hull City, which finally prevented the decline of continuing to lose...... In addition, our reporter saw Benitez from the stands at Manchester City Stadium, where he came to watch the game. It seems that the recent rumours that he will be in charge of Manchester City are true...... I think Benitez would probably be a good manager for Manchester City...... But with Manchester City's current situation, how much can the arrival of the Spanish master tactician help? ”

"According to the latest information we have received, Manchester City FC has officially announced earlier today that Mark Bowen has been relieved of his role as interim manager and that he will re-establish himself as the team's assistant coach to help the new head coach manage the team...... And the new head coach is exactly what was rumored before...... Rafael Benitez! ”

"Manchester City FC has a large photo of Benitez on their official website, which reads: 'Welcome to the Blue Moon!' But our editors have changed this image slightly—Benitez is not coming to a blue moon, but a broken ship that could sink at any moment! Benitez's priority is to keep Manchester City in the Premier League next season, otherwise the team that the Abu Dhabi consortium has spent a lot of money on will become the biggest joke in Europe......

'Is Rafa Benitez really the manager Man City need? Or is he a forced choice, after all, only Benitez, who is idle at home, can be the manager of Manchester City at this time...... We have to mention one game here - in Istanbul in 2005, the Champions League final, Benitez's Liverpool almost staged a shocking comeback, but in the end his team was beaten by AC Milan's Kaka...... Lost the title when it was closest to the Champions League title...... Why am I saying this? I just want you to know a little bit more about the soon-to-be Manchester City manager......"

As the day before the start of a new training session, the Manchester City players changed in the dressing room and prepared to go out to train.

Everybody is talking about their new manager.

In terms of the reputation of being a player, Benitez can't catch up with Mark Hughes, but when it comes to the reputation of being a head coach, Benitez is better than Mark Hughes.

It looks like Benitez is indeed a suitable manager for Manchester City.

He has experience of working for big clubs – he worked for Liverpool for four seasons.

He also has championship experience – under Valencia he led the team to two league titles, in addition to winning the UEFA Cup once. In addition, he has led the team to the Champions League final, and he has a lot of experience in the competition.

But there are still some worries.

Not because he lost the title in the Champions League final, but because of the media coverage when he left Liverpool.

"I've heard he's an unkind guy, so will we're going to have a hard time after that?" Robinho asked Elano beside him with a frown.

"No matter how sad you are, you won't be as sad as you are now......" Elano spread his hands and smiled bitterly.

'I don't know if he has what it takes to help us win...... That's what I care about the most. Dunn, the team's captain, said.

"Actually, I don't even know why we just can't get a win...... "Goalkeeper Joe Hart spread his hands and shook his head.

"Wing has scored 14 goals so far this season and is the top scorer in the league, but why can't the team win?"

"I'll leave that to our new manager...... Let's see what he means......"

……

When everyone was talking about Benitez, Glory didn't get involved because he wasn't in the locker room at all.

He is taking a free-kick on the training ground.

On the outside of the box, on the right, about 30 metres from goal, he kicked the ball towards the goal, using his left foot.

Some of the balls flew into the goal, but most of the balls were either high or off......

“…… It's been much better, and when he first started practising free-kicks, our equipment manager had a lot of headaches. Because he's always going to go through the woods looking for the balls that Rong kicked off......" assistant coach Mark Bowen said to Benitez next to him, joking. "Some of them didn't come back, and we all thought he had kicked them to Manchester United......

Manchester City and Manchester United's training bases are next to each other, just a few rows of groves, so maybe it's not a joke.

"I don't know he's taking free-kicks, when did he start?" There was some surprise in Benitez's tone.

"I want to think about it...... It should be after the game against Liverpool......" Mark Bowen thought for a moment and said. "Would you like to go up and say hello to him?"

Benitez shook his head: "No need, let's go." ”

"Okay, that's the youth team's training ground......" Mark Bowen led Benitez to the other side.

As he left, Benitez glanced back at the glory of training on the training ground.

He stared intently at the goal, kick after kick, without stopping until he had finished the football at his feet.

The thumping sound of the ball was particularly clear and echoed on the empty training ground in the morning.

Rafa Benitez's first training session attracted a lot of attention from fans and media at the Carrington training ground.

Manchester City have hit rock bottom and everyone wants to see what the new manager can bring to the team.

Not only the media and fans, but also the Manchester City players are actually watching.

Will the new manager be the one to take them out of the quagmire? Is it worth their work?

However, Benitez's first training session didn't show anything special.

He didn't even come up with his own ideas, and the training content was exactly the same as when Mark Bowen did it — which Benitez actually did, and when Mark Bowen asked Benitez about his training plan, he told Bowen to let him go about it.

So even though the training session was only open for 15 minutes, the media reporters and fans were a little disappointed that the master tactician did not show his tactical acumen.

You must know that the root cause of Mark Hughes's dismissal is that his tactics are not thought to be clear and clear, leaving Manchester City with a good hand but not knowing how to play.

Everyone thought that the Spanish master tactician would bring something new to Manchester City.

But now it seems...... Maybe they're expecting too much?

"How's the new coach?" At dinnertime, Debora asks about the glory that is being devoured.

"The training is as usual, and I don't see any difference." Glory swallowed the meat in his mouth and said.

"Do you think he can bring the team victory?" Debora asked.

"I don't know, I don't care." Rong Guang shook his head, then pushed the plate, "I'm full." ”

Then he got up and left the table.

"It's better to rest after eating...... Debora turned to him.

But Rongguang had already left the restaurant, and his voice came from outside: "No time to rest!" ”

Debora shook her head helplessly.

On the pitch with the lights on, Rongguang kicked the football towards the goal one after another, and the football kept hitting the barbed wire wall behind the goal, making a clattering sound.

He has to work harder to change the team's current woes on his own. In those past games, he was still often violated by opponents' foul tactics, falling to the ground again and again, and being forced to abort his attacks.

If his free-kicks have been practiced, those chances can be turned into goals.

But now it's still a little bit worse, and there is no guarantee of stability.

There are times when he can be absolutely dead, and other times he can kick into the sky......

He's got to work up and he doesn't want to play in the Championship next season.

So, where is the time to rest?

Rest is a very luxurious thing for him.
