After Robinho scored in the game, he was also in good shape in the rest of the training session, and Benitez can finally breathe a sigh of relief. This proves that Robinho is not fluttering because he has scored a goal, nor does he think that he is in a stable position because he has scored, he still works hard.

That's what Benitez wants.

At the same time, it also proves that Rongguang really has the ability to change the attitude of the people around him.

Such a leader is better than shouting 10,000 words at all length.

As the training time increased, the team became more and more aware of Benitez's tactics.

Manchester City beat Wigan 1-0 at home in the 22nd round of the league at the weekend. In the first half of the season, they lost 2-1 away to Wigan.

The opponents who couldn't win last season, Manchester City can now win, which is a good sign.

And after 11 consecutive league games without a win, Manchester City can finally start a winning streak, which is also a good sign.

After playing Wigan, Manchester City will travel to Derby County in two days' time.

It's an FA Cup quarter-final.

Because the interval was so short, Benitez did not use the starting line-up from the previous game for this game.

Some players were rotated out of the starting line-up.

But there are some people who are not moving, such as Glory, such as Robinho and Berbatov.

Since the last game, Manchester City's offensive trident has only been a little formed, for them, what is most lacking now is to cultivate tacit understanding in the game and accumulate experience in cooperation, so this kind of game must be as much as possible, Benitez can't let them rest, and will definitely seize an opportunity to cultivate their tacit understanding.

Besides, there is no European competition for Manchester City this season, no need to be distracted in Europe, and the League Cup was eliminated early, now only the FA Cup and the league can be played, the FA Cup is a single-game elimination system, not a two-legged elimination system, there are not many games, if a qiē shun lì, even if you reach the final from now on, the final is only five games, and the impact on the team is not big.

Therefore, there is no need to think about the problem of two-front operations.

If it weren't for the fact that this game was so close to the league, Benitez might not even have rotated.

This season Manchester City can concentrate on domestic games without consuming too much body, and the body storage is enough.

What the team needs this season is results, results are very important, and sacrificing physical fitness for results is a very cost-effective "deal".

In order to ensure the stability of the team's results, Benitez will definitely try to use the strongest lineup as much as possible. That's why he emphasises that the number of places in the starting line-up is only based on his training attitude?

Whether the strength is strong or not is not simply to look at the player's past achievements and performance, but to look at the current performance, training is very important. A player who trains well, can meet his requirements, and can adapt to his tactics is considered "excellent", otherwise it doesn't matter how well Benitez played before.

Not every player can perfectly adapt to different tactics, and his fairy A's set of tactics naturally has to find players who can match to play, otherwise he will not be able to give full play to the role of this set of tactics.

Against Derby County, according to the media, Manchester City only fielded half of the main line-up.

However, they still won away from home.

Glory's goal in the 73rd minute helped the team beat Derby County by one goal and advanced to the round of 16.

It was also his second goal in the FA Cup.

It is worth mentioning that the person who assists for Glory is...... Robinho.

If 90 per cent of the credit for Robinho's goal against Portsmouth goes to Glory, and the series of speed breakthroughs that preceded Glory was the essence of that goal, then 80 percent of the credit for his goal in this FA Cup game goes to Robinho.

At that time, it was a positional battle, Derby County contracted the defense, Manchester City did not have a good chance, at this time, the football fell to the feet of Robinho, at this time his delicate technical characteristics came into play, in front of the traditional British players, Robinho twisted his body, slippery like a loach, so that the Derby County defenders could not catch him at all, he broke into the penalty area like this, and also stirred up a mess in the Derby County penalty area.

Then he took advantage of the chaos to divide the football, and the glory who followed it slammed the football into the goal, scoring the only goal of the game.

Derby County held on to their stubborn tactics for more than 70 minutes...... In this way, he was defeated by the individual ability of Manchester City's star players.

When Glory scored, even Alan Hansen had to marvel at Robinho's previous brilliant performances, admitting that this was the glamorous light that shines in a talented player. Although he didn't like Robinho's attitude to the game, Robinho's talent cannot be denied.

And the happiest is Benitez.

Don't look at his first FA Cup game in charge, he excluded Robinho from the squad, but in fact he values Robinho very much, because Robinho's skills and talent are what the team needs, and in an environment like the Premier League, a team like Robinho can often provide Manchester City with a new way of thinking about solving problems.

This is very important.

Glory and Robinho are both players who are good at breaking through, but the characteristics of the two are different, if they always rely on Glory's breakthrough, then the team's offensive means are too single. Robinho has to play in the team.

That's why he's so Robinho, because a lazy Robinho is worthless.

Now seeing Robinho's appearance in this goal, he seems to see the future Robinho use his foot skills to break through and shake off the opposing defenders again and again......

Robinho himself is very happy, this is who he really is! It's very comfortable for him to kick like this, not like before, how to kick awkwardly.

The Brazilian player is very inspired, as long as he feels like he is playing well, he will be in good shape.

Robinho doesn't think about what Benitez did to him before, as long as he is allowed to play and play like this, he is very happy.

After playing the FA Cup, it's the league.

Manchester City host Newcastle United.

Newcastle United used to be a strong team, but their table has not been good this season and, like Tottenham Hotspur, should have been a traditional mid-table team that has the ability to qualify for the UEFA Cup.

But this season has been terrible.

Tottenham Hotspur are currently seventeenth, while Newcastle United are fifteenth.

Manchester City should have been on a similar level as them.

But City's mentality has changed now, and after winning four games in a row in the FA Cup and league, the city's players are full of confidence and morale.

Against Newcastle United, Manchester City did not feel like they were in the same place.

They played a hearty game at home.

The match was widely rated by the media after the game as the best home game of the season so far for Manchester City.

From the first minute of the game, the tempo fell into City's control.

The front-court trident table xiàn is particularly prominent.

In the 21st minute, Berbatov received a cross from Elano in the penalty area, chested the ball, turned and shot, and hit the ball under the goalkeeper's crotch.

It was a beautiful goal and ignited the passion of the home fans.

"Dimitov! What a dashing goal! Previously, people ridiculed him for not running actively in the game, and he didn't even get his shirt wet after playing in a game, and gave him a nickname: 'Dashing Brother'. But this goal he scored really chic! In the crowded penalty area, the ball was stopped on the chest, and then turned and shot, the action was in one go, very stretched, and the Newcastle defenders did not react at all! ”

The Manchester City fans in attendance also cheered after Berbatov's goal, but they were not just shouting for the goal, they were chanting...... Berbatov's name!

Hearing such cheers, Berbatov also waved at the fans in the stands, although the expression on his face was not too excited, but in fact he was happy inside.

Because he heard the fans shouting his name.

You have to know how these fans treated him when he first joined?

At the press conference of his joining team, he held a banner outside in protest against his joining!

His relationship with the City fans was terrible from the start.

Because of that, he is really thrilled to hear the City fans chanting his name now – there is a change happening between him and the fans, and that change is what Berbatov would like to see.

Although the number of Manchester City fans chanting his name was a small and sporadic shout, it was also a very welcome change for Berbatov, and it was better to have a change than not to have changed.

Although the voice is still very sparse, Berbatov looks at the fans with confidence in his heart. He thought that as long as he continued to behave like this, the voices cheering for him and calling his name would always increase until the end...... His name resounded throughout the audience!

※※※

After Berbatov's goal, Manchester City took advantage of the victory.

Glory took advantage of a long-range shot from outside the box just before half-time to blast the ball into the Newcastle United goal for the second time.

“2：0！ Manchester City were already two goals ahead before half-time! If it was Manchester City before, then I can say that even a two-goal lead does not mean that Manchester City can win! But now, looking at this first half, I can say...... Manchester City have sealed the win! Forty-five minutes remained in the second half, but City had firmly controlled the tempo of the game in their own hands...... There's absolutely no way they could lose to a team like Newcastle! ”

John Mortenson's words are sure to upset Newcastle United fans who didn't show up.

But if you look at Newcastle United's table, they can't help it, and Mortenson is right.

Once upon a time, Manchester City fans must have related to the experience of Newcastle United fans.

But now, Manchester City fans can finally get rid of this painful feeling of anger and helplessness for a while.

Manchester City fans in the stands, for the first time this season, watched their own team's game, and there was a heartfelt ...... Security.
