Chapter 806: Robinho
After Glory's goal, luck also completely turned in Manchester City's favor.
Just a minute into the second half, West Ham United midfielder Mark Nobel was sent off for accumulating two yellow cards.
West Ham United had to settle for one man with a full half remaining.
And because it was just over at halftime, West Ham United manager Gianfranco Zola couldn't use the break to make adjustments.
The red card made him passive.
Next, Brazilian national team midfielder Elano scored two goals in the 70th and 76th minutes to help Manchester City seal the victory.
The final score was fixed at 3-0, Manchester City beat West Ham United at home to get their second win of the new season, and two wins in a row!
After the game, every Manchester City fan left the stadium with a satisfied smile, and two consecutive victories reassured many people - such a table should be able to explain the problem, Manchester City is indeed getting stronger! We're no longer the team that stumbled all season last season.
As long as we have glory, what is there to fear?
A win in this game will be just the beginning, and we will be able to move up the league standings by leaps and bounds......
Every Manchester City fan leaves the stadium with such a beautiful vision.
The excitement didn't go away, and they even went to the bar to drink.
Although it was only two league games, Manchester City fans seemed to have seen the light of day in many years...... Their appearance may be incomprehensible to outsiders, but it is a reflection of how sexy they are inside.

"Scoring in two games in a row, and both goals were forced breakthroughs by speed, it looks simple and rough, there is no technical content, there are no fancy feints, it is to eat the opponent raw by speed. But it's goals like this that show Rong's current physical condition. There are no problems, he also has super speed and the ability to start suddenly......"
"I think Zola's side were still underwhelmed in the game...... Or they haven't experienced Rong's speed firsthand, so they lack an intuitive understanding of how fast Rong is, so that they can't defend Rong in the game......"
'West Ham United player Behrami, who defended Rong during the game, spoke about how he felt about the goal conceded...... 'I was there when Rong started and when he got the ball out I was two metres behind him...... I don't know how he did it, but his launch was unimaginably fast! ’……”
Scott Parker also said that Young's speed was completely beyond his imagination...... It's like a supercar rushing past him...... I think Gareth Barry can relate to Parker's feelings......"
Just like after the first game, the second day was full of praise and praise for glory in the media.
However, such praise only makes the rest of the Premier League players more unhappy with the glory......
Glory is now a big tree, and it's a big tree with not deep enough roots.
Especially for those defensive players, defensive players and offensive players are a contradiction, and defensive players generally earn less than offensive players.
Coupled with the fact that Glory is good on the pitch, it will make the defenders his background, and apart from Manchester City's defenders, what team's defenders are willing to be the foil of Glory's excellent performance in the game?
Think poor Gareth Barry, think Luke Young...... Their wolf bèi appearance, broken by glory, was replayed over and over again on television, and everyone could enjoy the scene again and again, as if the corpse was hanging on the head of the city for public display.
Fans may be amazed by Glory's speed after seeing his goal, but every defender who sees the goal will only have the feeling of "rabbit and fox" - Gareth Barry and Luke Young's present is their future.
How could they not be hostile to glory?
This kid has the highest transfer fee in the world, has the highest salary in the world, and makes us so wolf!
How can he take advantage of the cheapness alone!?

The good news always keeps coming, and just as Manchester City are winning two in a row for the new season, Manchester City FC has announced a blockbuster transfer.
"We are very happy to tell you that we have signed the famous Brazilian star Robinho!" Pelé II'll be part of Manchester City for the next five years! ”
This is a piece of news that is featured prominently on Manchester City's official website.
It can be seen that Manchester City FC attaches great importance to Robinho, but compared with the publicity of the announcement of the transfer of glory, it is too far behind.
Of course, no one thought that Robinho deserved the same treatment as Honor.
There are no more than three people in today's football who can have this kind of treatment......
In fact, before the announcement of Manchester City's official website, in European football, the media had already revealed the news of Manchester City's signing of Robinho in advance.
However, after all, it has not been officially confirmed, so everyone is quite cautious in their choice of words......
But Robinho's move to Manchester City should be nothing to worry about.
Although Chelsea and Manchester City were quite close before, now that Manchester City FC has officially announced the news, it is a certainty.
The same statement was made by Real Madrid.
Neither side disclosed in their statements what the final transfer fee would be.
However, according to the media, the transfer fee is in the region of £32 million, and without a glorious transfer, Robinho will become the king of the European summer transfer market this season. But now, it's not his turn.
In this way, the once high-hoped, "Bailey II", left Real Madrid and came to England. In the end, he was not able to achieve great things at Real Madrid.
However, coming to Manchester City and working with glory, no one can say whether this is another opportunity for Robinho. After all, Manchester City's rapid momentum in the past two weeks has been seen by everyone.
It seems that the signing of Glory and the inflow of a large amount of petrodollars have indeed brought about a seismic change for Manchester City. Maybe we can't look at Manchester City as a team in the same old light?
Some people think so in their hearts.
At the beginning, Pele once said that Robinho's achievements would definitely be higher than his own.
However, Robinho's appearance in Real Madrid seems to prove that Pele Crow's Beak has once again made a contribution, although Robinho has some amazing appearances in Real Madrid from time to time, but overall he has not lived up to people's expectations, and his appearance is very unstable.
That's why Real Madrid finally decided to let him go.
Wearing Real Madrid's number 10 shirt, it is far inferior to his predecessor, Luis Figo.
But nowadays, it's hard to say.
It's really something to look forward to when you can cooperate with Glory......
However, there are also media outlets that pour cold water on Manchester City's acquisition of Robinho - this is normal, and there will inevitably be two sides to everything.
Opposing media outlets believe that Manchester City's purchase of Robinho only proves that the club's management is very amateurish.
Because there is no need for Manchester City to buy Robinho, they have already stockpiled too many players in midfield, and Robinho's arrival will intensify the competition for this position.
While it's nice to have competition, it's too competitive to ruin the harmony in the dressing room. Originally, Mark Hughes was widely considered by public opinion to have poor ability to manage the dressing room, and if there were any more conflicts in the dressing room, he would absolutely not be able to control the situation, which would only collapse Manchester City's heavily built team......

When Robinho's arrival was officially announced, Robinho and his agent Ribeiro had already flown to Manchester.
After undergoing a medical examination, they made their official debut.
Because the league has already begun, Manchester City FC has not prepared a grand welcome ceremony for him, although his transfer fee is also quite a lot, but it is still much less than the glory.
Of course, there are press conferences for new players to meet with the media.
During the Q&A session at the reception, the journalists' main concern was why he chose Manchester City.
"Is it because Manchester City is paying more?" A reporter asked.
This has been mentioned in previous media reports. Whether it's the transfer fee or the salary, Manchester City FC is more generous than Chelsea.
So some people think that Robinho must be the same as Glory and Berbatov, who came for money.
Of course, most of them won't admit it......
Sure enough, Robinho replied: "I decided to come to Manchester City after watching the first game of the new season. I saw a strong team with an aggressive spirit. I hope to be able to get more honours here with the team. ”
If there is no first sentence, this is really a standard formulaic answer.
But with the first sentence...... Everyone is curious why Robinho specifically pointed out this sentence.
"Why after watching the first game?" Immediately, a reporter raised such a question.
"Because I saw a Rong who was in great shape." Robinho said with a smile.
This answer......
The reporters looked at each other.
'I've played against Rong in the domestic league and in the Champions League when I was at Real Madrid. I didn't win every time, so I don't want to be against him anymore! ”
There was a burst of laughter below, and the reporters were all infected by Robinho's wit and humor. This answer is much more interesting than the formulaic ones.
This blatant thigh-hugging behavior...... It's also quite interesting.
※※※
The day after the press conference, Robinho officially started his training with the team.
In the dressing room, he saw glory.
"I didn't think we'd get a chance to be teammates." Robinho looked very happy to see Glory, and he took the initiative to go up and greet Glory.
Glory is still impressed by Robinho, after all, he is an "old acquaintance".
"I'm not going to let you snatch the football from behind me this time!" When Robinho mentioned the past, Elano laughed next to him - he could see it clearly when he was in the front, and the speed of glory was like lightning, which Robinho did not expect at all.
He leaned in and joined the two people in the chat: "Yes, after that game, Robbie kept talking in the locker room about seeing a ghost, didn't he see a ghost?" Ha! ”
Rongguang is also very happy that these two people still remember their glorious experiences when they played in Brazil.
Everyone was very young at that time......
In the blink of an eye, Robinho has been hanging around Real Madrid, becoming the world footballer of the year and the Ballon d'Or himself, and finally the two are reunited in the Manchester City team.
They were rivals back then, but now they're teammates.
Rongguang is no stranger to this kind of thing, and he knows how to handle relationships. Just like when he returned to Bayern Munich from Werder Bremen and faced the Bayern Munich players.
Elano is very happy that the relationship between Glory and Robinho is quite harmonious, the two of them have a good relationship, and the team's results are not too bad.
He wants the club to do well because that will secure his place in the Brazilian national team. He also wants to play in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
For this, he needs to be supported by an excellent performance at the club.
And the club's excellent performance depends a lot on the two people in front of him......
