Not long after Rongguang said those words at the press conference? It's over, it can be clearly seen that the reporters are a little absent-minded, and then Benitez introduced the situation of Manchester City's preparations, and the reporters didn't listen to it much, and they didn't even ask much about the rumors in the transfer market, and they were obviously thinking about what Rong Guang said.

They can't wait to get the word out.

Some journalists were tempted to use their smartphones to post the news on social networks at the press conference, and it quickly attracted a lot of attention.

"Rong has fired again! He said that he wanted Manchester City to become the first team to defend the Champions League after the restructuring of the Champions League! ”

The press conference ended quickly, and the reporters did not want to stay and continue to ask questions to Benitez and Rongguang alone, as they had done in the past, and they left quickly, apparently busy going back to editing the news.

Sitting in the already empty press room, Benitez asked Rong Guang next to him: "Rong, what do you think?" How did you suddenly drop such a bombshell? Did you see the faces of those reporters? They were all shaken as if there had been an earthquake. I'm amazed not to mention them—I've never heard you mention that. ”

Glory smiled apologetically at Benitez, "Sorry, boss. I also thought of it on the spot, and I didn't have time to communicate with you first. I think you know better than I do the situation of the team now, it's like the team has lost momentum. ”

Benitez nodded, he was really aware of this, and he had a headache.

"Then since you don't have motivation, let's find one." Rongguang continued. "Isn't there enough motivation to be the first team to successfully defend the Champions League since it was restructured?"

Benitez looked at Rongguang in surprise, but he didn't expect Rongguang to think about the problem from this perspective.

He had been thinking about how to change blood to ensure the team's combat effectiveness. Unexpectedly, Rongguang directly set a goal for the team......

Reigning Champions League champions...... Benitez didn't even dare to think about it before.

But now that Glory says this, it really seems to be a solution......

"But you know how difficult it is to defend a title, right? Do you think our previous champions don't want to defend their titles? But no matter how strong they were, no one ever succeeded. Benitez reminded that he was afraid that Glory did not know how difficult it was.

"I know, boss. But when I said I wanted to surpass Arsenal's record of 49 games, a lot of people didn't believe it, thinking it was too difficult, absolutely impossible...... The result? Glory shrugged. You have to try, and if you don't try, you can never try. Anyway, the words have been spoken, and I think everyone will be a little more motivated now, right? ”

Benitez resisted the urge to roll his eyes, what the hell will become of you if your words are hyped up by those media......

But it's hard to say whether the motivation is there, the pressure must be huge!

Few of any team, after they won the Champions League, would dare to say that they would definitely defend the Champions League next season.

Glory said this, as the captain of Manchester City, it means that this is not his business alone, but the whole Manchester City's business.

Especially for yourself, if you fail to defend the title in the end, you have to take the blame if you don't do it, the player is so strong, but you don't win the championship, it must be the manager's problem, just fire the head coach and change to a better one. So I had to fuck off......

"Well, do your best...... But I have a request, Rong. Before you say such shocking things again next time, can you tell me in advance, so that I can be prepared? Did you see my expression? Completely natural ...... I'm scared of you! ”

Rongguang laughed: "Okay, boss, I won't scare you next time!" ”

※※※

That evening, television and radio stations, as well as the Internet, were quick to react to Rongguang's words.

Rongguang's "bold words" at the press conference were put up so that everyone could see or hear what Rongguang answered.

Everyone is judging these words of Glory and expressing their opinions and attitudes.

"Wing said he was going to let Manchester City defend their Champions League title? Honestly, I think he must have said something wrong, he should have said 'defending league champions', right? ”

"Since the Champions League was restructured in 1992, no team has been able to successfully defend the title of this competition, and the competition in the Champions League every year is very fierce, and if you are in good shape, you may not be useful, and sometimes you have to hope for a little bit of luck, and these conditions are met to reach the final...... And that's just the final...... I don't think Manchester City can do what so many teams haven't done, even if they are strong. Because it's simple – they've already won the Champions League and they're not hungry for glory as much as they used to......"

"Wing may not be like Ibrahimovic, who pokes himself in the media every day, but he is also a man known for his big mouth, and he has made a number of controversial statements that have pushed him to the forefront. This time he has a new work - at a regular press conference in the afternoon, he even said that he would lead the team to successfully defend the title. Although Rong is always able to do what he says, this time he seems to be playing a little bigger......"

Another website published a photo of the afternoon press conference, with Rong Guang sitting on one side and Benitez next to him. In the photo, Rong Guang has a faint smile on his face, but Benitez next to him is not so calm, his hand is covering his forehead!

“…… Apparently Rong's words also took his head coach Rafael Benitez by surprise. First of all, it can be seen from Benitez's watch that he did not know that Rong would say this at the press conference. Secondly, even Benitez didn't believe that he could do such a thing, which shows that Rong blew a little too much this time...... In addition, Benitez's statement seems to represent something that we don't know much about behind it......"

This website is an allusion to the mutual mistrust between Glory and Benitez.

Benitez's natural movements and expressions were caught by reporters and made a big fuss, so public figures have to learn how to deal with the media, otherwise they don't know how to die......

If there is really no communication between Rongguang and Benitez, or there is some gap between the two people, then it may have really been provoked.

Soon it was not only the media in England, but the whole of Europe that was discussing it, and of course there were many people who opposed and questioned it, and these people came up with all kinds of reasons why they did not choose to believe in Glory or support Glory, because by many counts, Manchester City could not have done this task.

"Only God can decide if Manchester City can successfully defend the Champions League, not glory!" Another media outlet responded quite forcefully to the incident.

※※※

And Manchester City's players also know that Glory has let out the words in the midst of the media hype.

Manchester City are defending their Champions League title this season!

As for the defense of the title, they already knew it from the mouth of Glory, and there was nothing surprising about it.

However, when the whole of Europe is discussing Manchester City's title defense, and insisting that Manchester City will never succeed in defending the title, some Manchester City players have a sense of indignation in their hearts - why is it that the Champions League has not yet started, and it is insisted that we cannot successfully defend the title?

Anyway, we are also the last champion, even if the previous historical numbers prove that there is indeed no team that can defend the title, but it hurts you to say that.

It's so contemptuous of people!

These Manchester City players already have a love in their hearts, and they are eager to be able to slap these people who swear to look down on Manchester City with the Champions League at the end of the season!

Unmotivated?

It really wasn't before, but now it is!

That's a slap in the face!

While not all Manchester City players feel this kind of hatred, at least some of them do, and that's fine.

Glory won't be alone.

Benitez was also quick to stand up for his disciple: "The movements and expressions about me in the media are misreadings, I don't want to explain too much, I just want to say one thing - no matter what, there is no problem between Rong and me, we work together happily and enjoy this cooperation very much." What do I think about defending the Champions League? That's not just the goal of Jung, it's the goal of us as a team at Manchester City. ”

As the manager of Manchester City, Benitez's statement will of course be understood as the official attitude of the entire Manchester City.

Benitez certainly knows this road to defending his title will be tough, but now he has no better way. Support Glory, and Glory on the same boat, there is still a chance to live. If you don't get on the boat, you can die now.

In addition to Benitez, Manchester City's senior management and club president Fassim also stood up to support Glory: "We know very well that no team can successfully defend the title after the Champions League restructuring, but that is history, history does not represent the future, no one has done it in the past, and it does not mean that no one will do it in the future. We are an ambitious team and we will do things that have been condemned to death for a long time. ”

The president of the club and the head coach of the team all supported Glory, and soon the first Manchester City player to publicly support Glory also stood up.

But this man was a bit of a surprise because he wasn't David Silva, who had a good relationship with Glory, and he wasn't Sneijder, but ...... Ibrahimovic.

It seems that the Swedish madman who doesn't have a good relationship with Glory!

"I was surprised by the fuss in the media, I didn't expect that something so simple would seem to them to be such a big deal. Or maybe I've always had the wrong impression of them, they're actually a bunch of cowards. Defending the Champions League, what's so incredible about that? ”

Although he didn't say a word of "I support Ronggu", everyone understood the meaning, he was standing in the same trench with Rongguang......

With the support of the club's president, manager and teammates, Manchester City seems to have really put on a posture and want to turn Glory's "big words" into reality!

"Are they crazy?" There are die-hard opponents and skeptics who can't help but exclaim in this way
