At the end of the first half, the score was 4-2, with City two goals ahead of Sunderland. (No pop-up ads) -

The atmosphere at Manchester Municipal Stadium is quite 'good', and the whole stadium is full of seats, which is also related to Manchester City coach Mark Hughes previously announced that Yang Fan will be today, Yang Fan has been out for three months due to injury, and the football 'fans' miss him very much, and they all came to the scene to watch the game today.

The players were very nice, laughing and walking off the pitch and back to the dressing room, but they waited for a few minutes and did not see the head coach Mark Hughes.

"What about the coach?" someone asked captain Yang Fan.

Yang Fan shrugged his shoulders and signaled that he didn't know, "Everyone is busy with their own first, and the coach will be here in a while." However, Yang Fan observed and was a little surprised to see that not only head coach Mark Hughes was not in the locker room, but also assistant coach Bryan and other members of the coaching staff were also absent.

At this time, assistant coach Brian came in, his face was a little ugly, "Coach Hughes has gone to the bathroom, I'll be over in a moment." He said.

The others didn't notice anything, however, Yang Fan felt a little abnormal, the team led the opponent 4-2 in the first half, and it stands to reason that the coaching staff should be happy, but Brian's face seemed to be very unhappy.

※※※※※※※

Mark Hughes was indeed in the bathroom, and at this moment, the Manchester City manager was standing in front of the large mirror on the bathroom sink, looking at himself in the mirror. He had just washed his face with cold water, and now there were droplets of water on the tip of his nose and eyebrows.

He was now full of grief and anger, his fists clenched, and he slapped the sink so hard that his body even trembled with anger.

Just now, Hughes received a call from the club's president, Mubarak, in which Mubarak coldly told the Manchester City manager: he was out of class and fired by the club.

The game was not over yet, Manchester City had already led 4-2 in the first half, but, in this situation, the chairman of Manchester City Club informed Hughes with just a phone call and announced Hughes's dismissal. Of course, this is a polite statement, and to put it mildly, it is to let Hughes get out of the way, and there is less shame in that.

Hughes was stunned by the call, and Mubarak on the other end of the phone said coldly, thank you for your contribution to the club, and then hung up the phone.

To be honest, since the Arabs bought Manchester City and Manchester City became a world-famous local tycoon team, the rumors about Hughes's resignation have not stopped, and many people are talking about Manchester City, and they generally believe that Hughes is not worthy of Manchester City, especially after a superstar like Yang Fan also joined Manchester City, this kind of doubt has intensified.

In such doubts, Hughes breathed a sigh of relief, he wanted to prove himself, to lead Manchester City to achieve excellent results, especially after communicating with Yang Fan, the two sides cooperated happily, which gave Hughes confidence and confidence, previously, Yang Fan was injured and missed for three months, Manchester City was winless in a row, which made Hughes under great pressure, when the media hyped Hughes out of class, Hughes was dissatisfied that the club did not speak out to express support, however, in the end, Hughes did not leave class during that time, even after losing 1-3 away to Tottenham Hotspur, the club did not notify Hughes to leave class, at this time Yang Fan has returned from injury, which made Hughes breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that he had passed the most difficult moment, and now Yang Fan's return is bound to allow Manchester City to achieve good results, and then it is time for the team to chase points.

Hughes was ambitious at this point.

※※※※※※※

At such a time, without warning and without communication, when such a game had not yet been played, and the team was leading 4-2 in the first half, he received a call from the president of the club, and Mubarak coldly informed Hughes of the dismissal.

This is the most unacceptable to Hughes.

In all fairness, Manchester City started the season quite well, winning four in a row, and even if the team went on a winless streak, it was also in the case of Yang Fan's injury, which 'messed up' Hughes's tactical deployment. In such a situation, Manchester City have only lost two games so far this season, which is not unacceptable for the club.

Therefore, Hughes is even more psychologically unable to accept the fact of being fired.

The Sounders' quick success in football is just as much as their financial prowess. In the eyes of the Arabian billionaires, despite being the head coach of the team, Hughes is only a small person, even if he is a household name in English football, but in the eyes of the Gulf countries, he is only a small person. Mubarak fired the head coach with just a phone call, and this arrogant and callous attitude made Hughes angry!

"Damn the Arabs. Hughes roared, and at this moment, the dissatisfaction and anger against the Arabs made the Welsh coach's emotions almost out of control.

※※※※※※※

It is no wonder that Hughes is so angry and dissatisfied, if someone else is the boss, even if it is a Russian or Eastern European tycoon, an East Asian tycoon, he will not dismiss the team's coach coldly with a phone call at this time.

In terms of financial resources, the Gulf countries have long been famous all over the world, but why is their football level always hovering at one level, and it is difficult to reach the elegant level. There are geographical factors, and more importantly, this group of people don't know anything about the development of football. The four words step by step can be described as playing the piano to the cow. The vast desert can become an oasis, the power of money, the sea can turn into fresh water, the power of money, and the Premier League club can become a 'private' 'flower' garden, or the power of money. After successes again and again, the Arab natives, who were already above the top, believed that the oil wells were there, and the dream was there. If you smash down the dollar and pound, even the rooster can lay eggs. But does the rooster really lay eggs? Everyone knows the answer, but the Arabs who come from the football desert don't know it, and in their eyes, as long as the money is enough, there is nothing impossible.

The development of football is not a business bidding, and there is no necessity for the highest bidder. Even Abu, the forerunner of the Money Stacking Club, did not arrange it according to his own ideas at will. The Arabs, who have invested heavily this season, believe it has come time to turn the entire Premier League order upside down. It's a ridiculous idea in itself. In FM, you can rely on the accumulation of stars to improve the strength of the team, but in the real world, such a scene can never be done. Especially for Hughes's Manchester City, Yang Fan's injury absence was an important factor in Manchester City's average results in the previous months, but, obviously, the Arab owners did not take these factors into account, they were not satisfied with Manchester City's current ranking, and then took the manager.

The washbasin was filled with water, and Hughes buried Lien in it, the icy cold water soothing his anger a little. As a professional coach, he was fired, but he still had to finish the game and he couldn't leave the team alone.

※※※※※※※

Two minutes later, Mark Hughes appeared in the locker room. He has already controlled his feelings.

Hughes praised the team's first-half watch in the locker room.

In addition to praise, Mark Hughes didn't say much, just told the players to continue to play according to the tactics of the first half in the second half, the team's first half table was very good, he didn't think there was any need to make any adjustments, and Hughes was very 'messy' at the moment, in this case, it was better not to make any adjustments, but it was the most appropriate.

He is also more comfortable with his players, these are professional players, they have played countless professional league games, they have been trained in this area since they were sensible, and the team's good form in the first half of the game shows that as long as the players themselves do not make mistakes, they should still be able to cope with it.

Looking at these players, Hughes sighed with emotion, for more than a year, the Arabs waved the checkbook, which allowed Hughes to buy players according to his own ideas, and now the vast majority of the stars on this team are valued by Hughes and then bought. Especially Yang Fan, he is not the star that Hughes designated to introduce, this is not because Hughes doesn't look down on Yang Fan, on the contrary, a star of Yang Fan's level, Hughes can't imagine that he can transfer to Manchester City, although after Yang Fan's transfer to Manchester City, the two were still a little contradictory at first, but, after frank communication, the two worked together happily, Hughes also retracted his prejudices, he was surprised by Yang Fan's professionalism, and he was full of praise for Yang Fan, and the Welsh coach looked forward to creating an era with this Chinese star...... It's just a pity that now he can't continue to lead them.

Hughes then left the rest of the time to the players, and he himself pushed open the 'door' and walked out.

In fact, Mark Hughes has a lot to say, but he can't say it, he is afraid of disturbing the mood and state of the players. If the players lose the game because of him, this is what he does not want to see, this is his last game in charge of Manchester City, yes, he was sacked by Manchester City, he was driven away, Hughes who is proud in his bones is resentful, he values the victory of this game even more, he wants to leave with his pride and victory......

"Coach ......" Yang Fan walked to the 'door' of the locker room.

"Huh?" Hughes stopped and looked back at Yang Fan.

"Coach, are you alright? Yang Fan pointed to Hughes's 'trousers' legs, which had a large puddle of water stains.

"Ha, it's fine. Hughes glanced down, he came up and patted Yang Fan on the shoulder, turned to leave, stopped again, waved his hand, and added, "Yang, you will be a great captain." ”

"Ah, of course. Yang Fan was stunned, and he smiled himself, "I've always been very confident in myself, coach." ”

"Haha, I know, I know. Hughes laughed, waved his hand, and left down the hallway.

Looking at the coach's back, Yang Fan frowned, and his intuition told him, the coach is a little wrong now, is he not satisfied with the first half of the game?

No matter how Yang Fan thought about it, he couldn't have imagined that the club would fire the team's head coach with a phone call at halftime. footsteps, looking back at Yang Fan.
