Manchester City's away game against Portsmouth is the fourth round of the league, and after this game, the league will be temporarily suspended for two weeks, because there are two international break days ahead, with national teams from all over the world having to play, and in Europe, next year's World Cup qualifiers are not over, and there is a fight for the right to qualify for the World Cup.

So for the next two weeks, the national team competition is the focus of everyone's attention, and it is about who can and who can't.

And in the league before these two national team games, the attention is not so high.

However, it was in this situation that Manchester City played a big score away from home!

They beat Portsmouth 6-0 away!

Glory scored twice, Dimitar Berbatov netted a hat-trick and centre-back Lucio scored his first competitive goal for Manchester City with his head.

Commentators and reporters alike noticed that during the game, City's players were in very good shape, full of fighting spirit and showed no mercy.

He didn't slow down just because he had already led Portsmouth by two goals in the first half.

They scored four goals in a row in the second half to completely kill the game.

Poor Portsmouth had no idea they would be treated like this on their home turf.

What makes Manchester City play so well in this game?

In an interview with reporters after the game, every Manchester City player said that such a result is normal and there is nothing to make a fuss about.

"Because we're strong."

They say so.

It really doesn't look any surprise for a team at the top of the league to beat the second-bottom team in the league by a big score......

No one knew that Manchester City's players were using this way to express their dissatisfaction with previous public opinion and express their Champions League ambitions.

You say we're not strong enough?

Then we'll prove it to you!

If 6:0 is not enough, there will be more!

※※※

When it comes to international games, City's Carrington training base is noticeably deserted than usual, with many internationals leaving Manchester to return to their respective national teams.

In fact, this can also reflect the strength of Manchester City from another side.

How could Manchester City have so many internationals in the past?

Today, Manchester City has Netherlands international Sneijder, Brazil internationals Robinho, Elano and Lucio, Bulgarian internationals Dimitar Berbatov and Martin Petrov, Argentina international Zabaleta, England international Gareth Barry, Belgium international Kompany, Swiss international Deldiyok, Spain international David Silva, Ireland international Dunn, and China international Sun Hai......

And the vast majority of these internationals are key players in their respective national teams.

After they left, half of the team was almost empty.

The training base was suddenly much quieter.

Glory, who did not have the task of the national team, still came to the training base in advance as usual, and then trained alone on the training ground.

There are no people, whether there is normal training or not, he is like this, as if nothing in the world can stop him from training.

Today, though, was a little different, as he was sweating on the training ground when he suddenly noticed that there was one more person on the sidelines of the usually empty field.

He stopped his training, looked over and was surprised to see that it was David Silva!

He was stunned at first, because he knew that David Silva was a Spanish international, so he should be in the Spanish national team at this time......

But soon the glory remembered that David Silva had been injured and was only now recovering from his injury and was undergoing recuperation training in the team.

Naturally, I didn't go to the national team......

David Silva had been training alone before, and he didn't appear in front of everyone so often that Glory almost forgot about it......

After seeing David Silva, Glory simply stopped training and walked over.

"Good morning, David."

As captain, he was natural, but David Silva was a little unnatural when he saw the glory.

"Well, morning, good morning......" he paused and said. Captain. ”

David Silva was a little embarrassed to appear in front of the glory.

He was originally curious to see if Rongguang would stick to his training even when the team's training was not normal.

Unexpectedly, after he came to the training ground, he saw Rongguang training.

He originally wanted to sneak a few glances from the side and leave, but when he saw the content of Glory's training, he was completely frightened, and stood there in a daze, forgetting not to be seen by Glory.

What did he see?

He saw Glory kicking the ball towards the goal.

At first, he thought it was just ordinary long-range training, nothing to look at.

During the lesson, when he saw the soccer ball flying in the air, his eyes widened - the soccer ball in the air barely moved, and flew into the goal!

Wasn't that the "fallen leaf" free-kick he scored in the Champions League qualification against Celtic?

After Rongguang's goal, the European media at the time said that Rongguang scored an incredible "falling leaf goal".

Although José Alemani named such free-kicks "elevator balls", it is still considered a defoliation ball throughout Europe.

The whole noun "elevator ball" does not appear.

It stands to reason that it would not have been until Euro 2012 that one of Pirlo's lift goals was named by Milan Sport......

David Silva, who was still recovering from the game against Celtic, did not travel with the team to Scotland, but watched live TV from his apartment.

When he saw this shocking goal, his initial reaction was also shock - how did Rong kick such a ball?

Then he thought it was luck.

The post-match media evaluation also confirmed his opinion from the side.

Many people think that Rongguang's goal is very likely.

Of course, the media said that it was luck that the ball made two consecutive changes in the air was lucky, but David Silva understood that the fallen ball of glory was lucky.

He knows Glory will take a free-kick, but he should be a left-footed banana kick.

This was demonstrated in last season's FA Cup final, where he doesn't play a banana ball with his left foot, he doesn't even have a banana ball with his right foot, and all free-kicks are taken with his left foot.

The only exception to this was a long-range free-kick that was called a powerful punch......

But that kick is a fixed-point shot, and it can't be considered a free kick at all......

So it's only natural that David Silva thinks Glory can't learn how to drop the ball in such a short period of time, and that goal must have been made by trying to replicate the one he scored in last season's FA Cup final.

But today, when David Silva stood on the sidelines, he saw Glory kick the ball in the air without spinning again and again!

His previous sworn conclusions were instantly overturned.

Could it be that the ball...... Didn't you get into it by luck?

"You're ...... Practice long-range shooting or ......" asked David Silva to clarify the question.

"Oh, practice free-kicks." Rongguang said.

"But why didn't I see the wall props......"

"No, I'm mainly working on the accuracy of power and touching, so I don't need a human wall." Rongguang introduced.

"Practice the accuracy of power and touches?" David Silva linked what he had just seen to the ball against Celtic, which had special skill and touch requirements...... It seems that Rongguang is really practicing the fallen leaf ball!

But...... How is that possible?

How did you learn it in such a short time?

"I remember your previous free-kicks weren't ...... Curling balls? David Silva asked.

Rong Guang smiled: "Ah, this is my new learning. ”

Really!

David Silva secretly said to himself, what a new learner! But......

"Newly learned? Have you learned? He asked.

Rongguang scratched his head embarrassedly: "I can't talk about learning, it's just a beginner...... I've only been practicing for three months...... Two and a half months, to be exact, I'm not proficient. ”

But David Silva's mouth was already on the verge of closing.

It's only been two and a half months of practice to be able to kick a ball of this quality?

"That's how you practice?" David Silva became more and more curious.

"Just practice like this, kick the ball towards the goal......"

"Just practice?"

"Of course, just keep repeating. Aren't the exercises all repetitive? ”

"And how many times did you repeat it?"

"I don't know." Glory shook his head. "I knew I had repeated 21,600 times in half a month in June......"

David Silva coughed in fright.

Then he stared at Glory with wide eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.

Kicked 21,600 times in half a month?

What is this concept?

"What's wrong? You okay? Glory asked with concern when he saw David Silva suddenly cough violently.

Silva waved his hand, signaling that he was okay.

But the way he looked at Rong Guang was different from before.

It's no longer looking at the eyes of a normal person, but as if seeing a monster......

At this time, he suddenly remembered what Iniesta once said to him: "...... 'alien monster'!" ”

"What's that?" He asked curiously.

"Rong!"

"Rong?"

"Yes, Rong's nickname, they all call him 'Alien Monster'! Because he's not just from an alien planet, he's a monster, a monster from an alien planet! ”

At the time, he thought it was just nonsense from Rongguang's brain.

But now, in his eyes, it was as if Glory had really turned into an alien monster......

I even want to compete with such an alien monster...... It's ridiculous to hurt yourself as a result!
