Chapter 821: Absence

"How's my injury?" In the locker room, Rongguang asked Sun Fengyang, who had just arrived.

At this time, Manchester City's home game against Arsenal continued.

"Fortunately, it's not an injured right ankle, so it's not a big problem." Sun Fengyang said after examining Rongguang.

When Rongguang was injured and helped off the field by the team doctor, he left the box where Debora was and went straight to the locker room.

For many people, the locker room is a sacred place where no one else can be allowed to enter.

But Glory has privileges at Manchester City, and Glory's personal physician Sun Fengyang also has some privileges, including the fact that he can enter and exit the Manchester City dressing room at any time, although he is not on the Manchester City coaching staff and is not an employee of Manchester City FC, but he has such powers. Of course, it's also because he's City's personal physician.

Rongguang had a relaxed look on his face - he was quite nervous when he was injured just now, after all, he had tasted the pain of a serious injury, and he didn't want to taste it again.

But then Sun Fengyang's words poured cold water on Rongguang: "But don't think about playing in the next round of the league." ”

Glory looked at him in amazement.

"It's okay if you're injured, but you need at least a week off, so to be on the safe side, you won't be able to play in the next league round."

"You know ...... next round of the league," Rong Guang asked.

Without waiting for Rongguang to finish speaking, Sun Fengyang nodded: "Of course, the next round is the Manchester derby." But in such a crucial game, you can't play anymore because you have to work harder in this kind of game, and that will aggravate your injury. ”

"But the team needs me ......"

"Man City is not your team alone, Young." Sun Fengyang said with a straight face. "You should trust your teammates, they have what it takes to win the game......"

But when Sun Fengyang said this, he and Rongguang didn't know that on the pitch outside, Arsenal had sounded the horn of counterattack, and Manchester City was panicking as the fruits of victory were eaten away by Arsenal little by little......

"I guess you don't want to have another experience where you haven't played for eight months, do you?"

Looking at Sun Fengyang's eyes, Rongguang thought about it for a long time, and finally sighed: "Okay......"

He was reluctant, but he was even more reluctant to aggravate the injury and miss more games.

When the game was over, Glory saw his team-mates in the dressing room come back dejected, and he didn't have to ask, he knew the outcome of the game - Manchester City lost again.

At the same time, outside the locker room, the tired Mark Hughes was communicating with Sun Fengyang with an anxious look on his face: "How is Rong's injury?" ”

"Not too strict" ......"

Before Sun Fengyang finished speaking, he saw an obviously relieved expression on Mark Hughes's face.

"But ......"

He continued.

Hearing his words, the relieved expression on Mark Hughes's face immediately froze.

'In the next round against Manchester United, he won't be able to play. Sun Fengyang finally finished what he had to say.

Mark Hughes looked at Sun Fengyang blankly, his eyes full of doubts and ...... Confused, he was not mentally prepared for Sun Fengyang's sudden words.

The next second, he reacted, and asked loudly with some excitement: "Why?" ”

"Although it is not too strict, but after all, it is also an injury, and for the sake of insurance, he must rest for at least a week." Sun Fengyang said with a stern face.

He is not the team doctor of Manchester City, and he does not belong to the coaching staff managed by Mark Hughes, so he doesn't have to consider Mark Hughes's mood when he speaks and acts.

He didn't want to leave Mark Hughes with some delusions of luck, and he didn't want Mark Hughes to feel that there was still the slightest possibility of playing for glory.

"But the next ......" Mark Hughes was a little angry and anxious, his voice louder than ever.

"It's a Manchester derby, I know. But Rong can't play, otherwise his injury may become serious. ”

"But that's just a possibility, it may become strict, and it may not be ......," Mark Hughes continued to convince Sun Fengyang.

"We can't take that risk, Mr. Hughes. I can't risk Rong's health. Even if the team loses to Manchester United due to Rong's absence, at least Rong is still healthy, and you can win it back in the next round of the league. If you get seriously injured again and miss a few months of play, I don't think you'll ever have a chance to turn things around. Sun Fengyang said with a straight face.

Mark Hughes looked at Sun Fengyang, who was not negotiable at all, stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "But I am the head coach of the team, I am the manager, and I have the power to decide who can and can't!" ”

"Then I should also consult the doctor's opinion." Sun Fengyang did not give an inch.

"But you're not our team doctor." Mark Hughes is going to tear up his face with Sun Fengyang, it is strange to arrange such a private doctor in the club who is not part of the team doctor at all, and this doctor can still dictate to Lao Tzu and decide whether Lao Tzu's players can play...... Mark Hughes couldn't bear it.

"Yes, I'm not Manchester City's team doctor, I'm Rong's personal doctor, so I'm only responsible for Rong's health." The implication is that Lao Tzu doesn't care about the team's wins or losses and the life or death of you, the head coach.

Mark Hughes saw that Sun Fengyang was so strong, he didn't expect it, he was stunned for a moment, and then frowned and said, "I think you should ask Rong's opinion when you make this decision......

Hughes knew that Glory himself would be eager to play, especially in an important game like the Manchester derby, which was his first city derby since joining City.

He can't convince Sun Fengyang, but Rongguang can!

Unexpectedly, Sun Fengyang spread out his hand, shook his head and said, "I have already talked to Rong, and he agreed to my arrangement." I'm his doctor, I know his physical condition very well, and if I say no, I can't. Sun Fengyang didn't bother to talk to Mark Hughes anymore, and he ended the conversation very strongly.

When Mark Hughes saw him turn to leave, he said loudly, "But I'm the head coach of the team......":

Before he finished speaking, Sun Fengyang took out his mobile phone: "Do you need me to call Mr. Fasim directly?" ”

The rest of Mark Hughes's words choked in his throat and couldn't come out.

Sun Fengyang no longer paid attention to the head coach who instantly became depressed, turned around and walked away.

β€»β€»β€»

"How's his injury, Mr. Sun?" As soon as he left, Sun Fengyang's mobile phone rang, and when he picked it up, it was Debora calling.

"Not too strict, but needed a week off. So he can't play in the next game. Sun Fengyang replied.

"But it was Manchester Derby......"

'Yes, I told him and he agreed not to play. No problem, you don't have to worry, Debola. ”

"Well, thank you, Mr. Sun."

"You're so kind, Debola. I'm Rong's personal doctor, and that's what I'm supposed to do. Sun Fengyang said with a smile.

In the post-match press conference, Mark Hughes looked frustrated, thinking it was because City had lost to Arsenal while they were leading, but in fact Mark Hughes was already worried about his position......

Before the previous game against Liverpool, he had been given an ultimatum, he once thought he was dead, but he did not expect Glory to complete a hat-trick in the game and save his position.

Now his position is once again at its most dangerous, even more dangerous than the last time, because this time there is no glory to save him......

Manchester City, which has no glory, even if it is playing at home, how can it face the impact of Manchester United?

Mark Hughes has no confidence in this at all.

Reporters also asked about Glory's injury, and Mark Hughes had to fight hard: "His injury is not a big deal......

"So can he play in the next city derby?" A reporter from the Manchester Evening News asked.

This question almost made Mark Hughes leave with his sleeves brushed up, but he still held back, and he tried to say in a very calm tone: "It depends on the specific results of the examination......"

He did not directly tell the reporters that Rongguang would miss the next game, not that he still wanted to fight for Rongguang's chance to play, but that he didn't want to disturb the morale of the army...... It affected the team's preparation.

However, the news that Glory will miss the game against Manchester United did not stay hidden, and two days later, the news began to spread in the media that Glory will miss the derby in the same city.

Reporters blocked outside the Carrington training base, wanting to interview Rongguang and get the latest news from Rongguang.

However, both Debora and Sun Fengyang have already sued SΓΉ for glory, and it is best for him to remain silent about this matter until the official announcement is made. So Rongguang did not accept any media interviews and did not answer this question.

And Mark Hughes's answer has always been ambiguous, not saying that Glory will definitely miss the game, but also not saying that Glory will definitely be able to participate in the city derby.

In the days leading up to the game, it became the most talked-about news in England football – whether the glory could catch up with his first Manchester derby.

Manchester City fans will certainly hope that Glory can catch up with the game, after all, with Manchester City's current form, if they want to beat Manchester United at home, they really can only count on Glory.

But it's a pity that the day before the game, when Mark Hughes finally announced the starting list for the game, Rong Guang still did not appear in this list, and not only the starting list, he did not even enter the final squad of 18 men, which means that he did not even have the opportunity to come off the bench to participate in the derby in the same city......

"Young's injury is not completely healed, so to be on the safe side, we let him continue to rest, after all, Manchester City need a fully healthy Young, not a ...... who is playing with an injury," Mark Hughes said in his pre-match press conference.

A group of reporters looked at each other.

Glory was absent from this city derby?!

The biggest gimmick...... Without!
