Chapter 810: Ultimatum

"Is Mark Hughes so unbearable?" During the meal, Debora asks Glory.

Now that the media criticism of Mark Hughes has been overwhelming, Debola is also curious whether Mark Hughes is really not qualified for the position of head coach of this team.

After all, Rongguang is a player and has to contact Mark Hughes every day, so she wants to hear Rongguang's evaluation of Mark Hughes.

"I can't tell, I don't really understand tactical things. But it's true that the team can't win like this......"

Rongguang said with a frown.

He was really unhappy with the current state of the team, but to put it mildly.

After listening to Glory's answer, Debora fell into deep thought.

"What's wrong?" This time it was Glory's turn to be curious.

"Now that there are so many voices criticizing him in the media, I wonder if he can withstand it. After all, he is the head coach of the team, and if the head coach collapses, the team will be in danger. Now that you're a Manchester City player, I'm definitely more concerned about City's results. ”

"Like when I was at Bayern Munich?" Rong Guang asked.

"Of course." Debora shrugged.

Rongguang smiled: "Don't worry, it will definitely not be too bad." ”

Debora raised her head when she heard this, looking at the glory.

"Even if the manager collapses, I won't collapse." Rong Guang said with a smile as he looked at the woman in front of him.

"You haven't scored in two games." Debora pointed at Glory with the spoon in her hand.

Rongguang scratched his head a little embarrassed: "Accident, accident...... Eat, eat, eat! ”

After saying that, he bowed his head.

Debora laughed when she saw him like this.

The expression on your face when you said, "I won't collapse," just now...... Looks pretty good.

The situation does not seem to be improving.

In the sixth round of the next league, Manchester City lost 1:2 away to Wigan.

Including the League Cup, it is already five games without a win, with one draw and four defeats in those five games.

Manchester City also slipped to 12th place after six league games.

This ranking is a far cry from what was expected at the start of the season......

From two consecutive league wins to four consecutive wins, the media began to criticize Mark Hughes more and more, the team's poor results, the head coach is definitely the first to be blamed.

It's not just Mark Hughes who is being criticized now – everyone is tired of criticizing Mark Hughes, and there's no new trick to scold.

Public opinion is now criticizing not only the manager, but also the players.

The most scolded were Berbatov and Robinho.

Both of them have been with the team for so long, but they have only scored one goal each, and they have not contributed much to the team.

Compared with their worth, this table is indeed too shabby.

The media scolded Berbatov for being too lazy and running too little on the pitch.

scolded Robinho for dribbling too much - public opinion wanted Robinho to pass the football to Glory as soon as he received the ball, and then watch the play himself......

But no one scolded Glory.

As someone who only suffered a serious ankle injury half a year ago and hasn't played in eight months, Glory is good enough and there is nothing to criticize.

He scored six goals in those six games and also provided one assist.

Even though he hasn't scored in his last two league games, that doesn't matter.

It's not his problem, he's aggressive in the game.

It's just that his opponents are defending him more and more tightly, and they are restricting him more and more, and even ...... Do not hesitate to use foul tactics.

This is one of the reasons why Glory has not scored in two consecutive league games.

The opponent's defensive moves against him are getting bigger and bigger, and it is difficult for Glory to even hold the ball for more than ten seconds in a row.

On the edge of the opposition penalty area, this time will be shorter.

Although this will cause the opponent to be punished with a lot of fouls, it is better than letting Glory score directly, right?

Everyone thought it was not Glory's fault, and that the other City's foul tactics were because the other Manchester City players did not support Glory well, and he had to fight alone in the front court.

In short, everyone is still very tolerant of glory.

Except for a very small number of molecules, most people feel that it is very good that Rongguang can have such a performance after his comeback after being seriously injured for more than half a year.

But no matter how good an individual is, it is difficult to save a team.

When the glory was in the Eight Days, the reason why Bayern Munich was able to win so many championships was not only his own excellent performance, but also the efforts of other Bayern Munich players. Their light may not be as dazzling as their glory, but they are also indispensable people.

But compared to today's Manchester City and Bayern Munich, it is far behind...... So just the glory table xiàn is excellent, but it is not enough.

To put it mildly, don't look at Manchester City spending a lot of money this summer, but their strength may not be as good as Werder Bremen, who was loaned to Glory at the beginning......

For the first time in the media after the defeat to Wigan, news of Mark Hughes being sacked appeared in the media.

In the bookmakers' odds to leave the 20 Premier League teams this season, Mark Hughes is also far ahead of everyone else.

The Manchester Evening News put Mark Hughes out of class in a straightforward way. When it comes to reporting on the news of the two local teams, the Manchester Evening News is quite authoritative.

They both have journalists based at both teams and have well-informed sources within both clubs.

These people are able to give them a lot of exclusive revelations.

“…… We've said before that Middle Easterners are impatient, and Fasim is said to have decided to let Mark Hughes out of class. However, the decision should have been made on an ad hoc basis, as the Manchester City club has not yet started looking for a successor to Mark Hughes. The boss behind Fassim is said to be very unhappy with City's recent results and believes that manager Mark Hughes is to blame for the team's predicament...... It is said that the next round of Manchester City's home game against Liverpool should be Mark Hughes' last chance, and if he loses again, he will be swept away by the team - the deep-pocketed Manchester City club doesn't care about paying some contract break money or something......

Subsequently, other media outlets also reported on the incident.

Everyone thought the game against Liverpool would be the one that would decide the fate of Mark Hughes.

If City loses again, Mark Hughes will definitely have to get out.

But...... Manchester City's opponent Liverpool in the next round of the league is not a good stubble!

After six league games, Liverpool are currently in second place with four wins and two draws, accumulating 14 points, the same number as Chelsea in the first place in the league, but second because of the small goal difference.

Such Liverpool is on the same level as Chelsea that Manchester City met in the fourth round of the league.

It's all at home too, so how can they be expected to beat Liverpool when Manchester City didn't beat Chelsea in the first place?

※※※

Mark Hughes is really having a headache right now, and the claims in the media are not unfounded rumors...... It's true.

After the team's defeat to Wigan, he was indeed given an ultimatum by Fasim.

If he wants to change the current situation of the team immediately, the team that has spent a lot of money cannot slide into the relegation zone.

If, at the end of the final season, Manchester City find themselves reporting to the Championship next season, it will surely be the end of the world!

Against Liverpool, you have to win. This is the death order that Fasim gave himself.

Despite Marc Hughes' attempts to explain to Fasim how strong Liverpool are and how difficult it is for Manchester City to beat them these days...... But Fasim was not interested in his explanation, and sued him that he would not accept any result except winning.

"Either the team wins, or you leave." Fassim said to Mark Hughes with a stern expression.

This Arab who doesn't know how to play!

Mark Hughes didn't know how many times he had cursed Fasim in his heart.

He only gave the order, but he didn't care whether the order could be carried out or not.

Win Liverpool?

Even on our home turf, it's not easy to beat Liverpool, who have a lot of momentum, so how can I guarantee a win?

The only thing he could rely on now was glory.

But Glory has not scored in the last few games and has been caught up in various foul tactics of the opposing side.

Although Glory can bring Manchester City a lot of free kick opportunities on the spot. However, City did not have a particularly good free-kick expert in the team, and ...... The goal rate of free kicks is not high in itself, and it is difficult to count on free kicks to score.

Moreover, since the opponent dares to use foul tactics, he must have practiced set-piece defense.

So, in short, it's very difficult to win against Liverpool.

When Mark Hughes first took over as Manchester City manager, it was already confirmed that Glory was going to join Manchester City, and he was very happy to be able to coach such a team and such a player, and he also had his own ambitions.

He wants to change his stereotype of "only coaching small teams" in the eyes of most people. He wants to use Manchester City as a platform to achieve his dreams – and he wants to win the title.

This team has a huge amount of money and world-class players like Rongguang... Why worry about it?

At that time, some media said that Mark Hughes was the most enviable head coach in the world, because he could buy whoever he wanted, and he already had a player like Rongguang.

But after only six league rounds, his dream was shattered by the cold reality and faltered.

Mark Hughes doesn't feel like the most enviable job in the world anymore, on the contrary, it's the most headache job in the world.

It had been a long time since he had a good night's sleep, and the tremendous pressure was tormenting him all the time.

made him, who was already full of gray hair, look even older......

His wife, Mary, looked at her husband with some concern, fearing that he would faint from high blood pressure when he got up......

Mark Hughes was visibly absent-minded during the meal.

"Otherwise, don't do it, my dear......" she whispered.

"No, Mary. It's a far cry from what I had in Barcelona and I was able to get over it. No problem. ”

Mark Hughes waved his hand lightly and left.

Mary was behind him, looking at him with some concern, and from the tone of his voice, the wife felt that her husband was probably at the end of his rope......
