Chapter 838: Changing Commanders Like Changing Knives?

When Robinho fell to the ground, many people were so accustomed to wanting to laugh at him that he was once again empty.

But what happened next left them all dumbfounded.

The soccer ball crashed headlong into the net and fell into the goal after losing all momentum, an undisputed goal!

Robinho looked at the ball in the net and got up from the ground, he didn't run wildly, and he didn't jump samba or make weird moves when he scored a goal, as he did before.

He just looked up to the sky and roared.

vented all the suffocation in his heart and turned it into a roar.

On the one hand, he was really bored and couldn't run......

As he did so, Glory was beside him, watching him, but didn't bother.

When he finished venting his inner feelings, he lowered his head and saw the glory in front of him.

He opened his arms and hugged Glory hard.

"Thanks, Rong!"

He said.

"No thanks, Robbie, this is your chance to spell it out yourself, I just passed the ball to you." Glory said with a smile in his ear.

Despite this, Robinho is still grateful for the glory.

Of course, Glory just passed football to himself.

But if it weren't for his previous series of wonderful breakthroughs, how could he face this opportunity that was almost empty?

It was just a joke that he had only scored three times before, but overall it was a great chance, Glory almost put his hands on the goal and held it in front of him, and the ball was a bit difficult at the end because he was running out of body, which was actually a great cross.

In any case, he should also be grateful for the selflessness of the glorious Dagong.

In the last FA Cup, he still admired Berbatov in the stands, and now he doesn't have to envy the Bulgarian.

He also got on the scoresheet.

"Beautiful! Ninety percent of the credit for this goal will be credited to Rong! Thundering speed, catching the ball in front of everyone, followed by a series of breakaways that drew all the Portsmouth defenders to his side, and when Robinho ran into the box, there was an empty goal in front of him! This time, he didn't fail to enter again! Although the process was a bit disturbing, he finally scored the football into the goal! Sealed the win for Manchester City! ”

Mortenson said without stopping.

Alan Hansen nodded but didn't say much.

If Robinho still can't score this goal, he should really cut himself. What a great opportunity for Glory to create zào for him...... And Glory obviously took into account that Robinho is not as fast as him, and may not be able to come over in time, so in the end, this cross is very particular, he did not pass directly to the goal, so the speed will be faster, James will be more unable to react, but Robinho may not be able to catch up with the ball at all, he will not score in an empty goal......

When Glory crossed, he deliberately passed the ball back and passed an inverted triangle, so that Robinho still had a chance to catch the cross even if he ran slower. This has proven to be the case. If the goal had happened ten minutes into the game, Robinho would not have played it so badly.

It's really not a difficult ball for him.

What is "no entry into the emperor with an empty door", it is just the ridicule of the media and the blind coaxing of the fans. Anyone who really believes that Robinho's archery is so bad is really naïve and naïve!

"Good!" Benitez jumped up from his seat after Robinho's goal and slapped hard while shouting.

It's a voice from the heart.

Glory and Berbatov, Glory and Robinho, he just connected these two people together.

The "Manchester City Trident" that the media has been talking about before is only now beginning to take shape!

How do you make these tridents one? Benitez wants Glory to play a crucial role here, and it now seems that this first step has been done well.

Glory is not the kind of player who stands still, controls the team's rhythm by passing, and assists his teammates, although he is a big midfielder, but his style of play does not want to be the "classical midfielder" that people have in mind, he is very similar to Kaka, a modern forward midfielder, relying on his own individual ability to score.

At the same time, the way of assisting teammates and organizing the attack is also done in high-speed movement.

Compared to Robinho's dribbling, Glory's breakthrough is sharper and easier to attract the attention of the opposition's defense, and when he is surrounded by three or four defenders alone, there will inevitably be a hole in the opponent's defence, and that is the opportunity, it just depends on whether he can see the gap and pass the football out......

That's what Benitez wants to do on a tactical level - in addition to scoring on his own shots, Glory must also help his teammates score and revitalize the team's offense. In this way, Manchester City's attacking tactics can be regarded as having a core, and the players have a direction when attacking.

At the same time, the biggest difference between Benitez and Mark Hughes is that he gives full play to the glorious assist ability.

Rafael Benitez has studied Glory, both Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich, and he once scored a hat-trick of assists in a Champions League group stage. So it's not right to say that Rongguang is a "lone wolf" who can only score points by himself.

Benitez also thought about the choice to coach Manchester City for a long time, he carefully studied the composition and tactical arrangement of this team, and then made a plan in his mind, imagining how to pinch them and how to formulate tactics if he came to coach this team.

With all this in mind, he agreed to Manchester City's invitation to become Manchester City's manager.

He has a big ambition.

When he was at Liverpool, because he lost the Champions League in 2005, this black history has always been with him, and it is also the reason Liverpool found when he sacked him, and the roots of Qiē came from that game.

He wants to prove to the Liverpool hierarchy and to the media that he has what it takes to win the Champions League. Since you Liverpool don't give me this chance, then I'll do it on Manchester City!

So in charge of Manchester City, he is really going for the Champions League title, which is really similar to glory......

Now seeing Manchester City's performance, he is more confident in leading the team to win the Champions League.

If Rafael Benitez's wishes were known, they would be considered arrogant – Manchester City are still trying to stay in the Premier League next season, and you dare to dream of winning the Champions League, which is too big, right?

Take too big a step, be careful to pull the eggs!

After Robinho's goal, Portsmouth lost the ability to resist.

Now they have no room to struggle - want to fight back and equalize? How can it be possible to break down Manchester City's backline without pressing all the lines? Even if Manchester City's backline is watery, it won't concede two goals in a row in a good situation, right? And time is running out. If the whole line is pressed, how can you guarantee that your goal will not be penetrated again by Glory or Berbatov or Robinho?

Whatever you choose, it's wrong, which makes Portsmouth's players naturally unmotivated.

In the end, Manchester City relied on goals from Glory and Robinho to beat Portsmouth 2-0 away to finally end their embarrassing record of 11 league games without a win.

In his post-match press conference, Rafael Benitez said he was happy to see the team win, but "it's not something to be happy about, after all, our goal is not just to win this game. With half a season to go, we are not out of danger......"

"Robinho scored in the game, does that mean he's in the starting line again?" A reporter is said to have asked a question.

Benitez shook his head: "No one's position is secure, and I make decisions on the starting line-up for each week based on the training status of the players and their performances. ”

He didn't even praise Robinho, but that's his style......

Because of this, after Benitez left Liverpool, there were not even a few Liverpool players who complained about him. He's not a likable manager in the dressing room......

If the team's results are not good, he will definitely be in a bad position.

Now that the team has just won, there shouldn't be any discord.

But it's hard to say after that - Portsmouth is not a very strong team after all. For Manchester City, in the second half of the season, they have had many of their clashes with strong teams on the road, and that is the most important thing.

In the first half of the season, Manchester City played Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal, the traditional Premier League semi-finals, but they were all on their own home turf, and they only won one game against Liverpool on their home turf.

In the second half of the season, they will face these four teams again, all on the road, which will be even more difficult to play......

No one is optimistic about Benitez's future at Manchester City, who spend so much money and need immediate results, so they tend to be impatient.

Benitez has failed to conquer the discerning Americans at Liverpool, and his life will not be much better against an even less patient Abu Dhabi consortium than at Liverpool......

The next day, the results of the other leagues in this round were released, so Manchester City's position after this round of league games could also be determined. Manchester City have risen to 12th in the league with 23 points after winning against Portsmouth in this round of the league, and they have more goals and the most goal difference than other teams with 23 points, so Manchester City can be at the top of the list of teams with the same points.

Manchester City's results are gradually improving, from the lowest eighteenth place to the current twelfth, which has given many simple Manchester City fans hope.

Is it really like changing the commander like changing the knife? It's time for a change of head coach and the team is running?

If that's the case, why didn't the team's results improve when Mark Bowen replaced Mark Hughes?
