In fact, about the fact that Rongguang is flying around, Benitez has also considered whether to negotiate with the Chinese national team, so don't recruit Rongguang back in this game, anyway, the Chinese team has already qualified from the top 20 in advance.

But before he did that, Rongguang took the initiative to find him, saying that he wanted to go back to the competition.

He also persuaded Rongguang that there was no need to toss himself like this.

But Rongguang insisted on returning to China to compete, of course he knew that the Chinese team had already qualified from the group ahead of schedule and entered the top ten.

But he didn't go back just for the national team.

He also thinks about the Chinese fans at home.

He knows very well that these fans want to see him play in the national team jersey and want to see him play up close.

So this time he had to go back.

Flying tens of thousands of kilometers, even if it is just to satisfy their desire to look at themselves, is worth it.

So Glory must go back.

Rafael Benitez really can't twist his arms around his thighs, even though he is the manager at Manchester City, and the glory is only a player. But he knows very well that at Manchester City, Rong Guang is a bigger figure than the manager, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is too great.

So Rongguang insisted, and he could only agree.

However, Manchester City FC has also taken steps to minimise the impact of the glory rush.

That is to prepare a private jet specifically for Rongguang, and choose to take the shortest and most time-saving route.

Let Glory suffer less on the road.

And this plane is not the transfer of Manchester City FC, but the private jet provided by Mansour, the owner behind Manchester City FC.

This kind of treatment can only be enjoyed by glory......

※※※

And Glory also has its own considerations.

He knew that it was impossible to convince Benitez with the excuse that "Chinese fans want to see me play".

Benitez promised him to return to China, not because he was persuaded by his reasons, but because he had to.

Glory is not the kind of person who twists melons.

He has to go back to China to compete, but at the same time the interests of the club must not be compromised.

In order for Benitez not to care about his forced return to China, he must first do one thing well.

That's to win the League Cup!

Use the actual table xiàn to prove that his return to China will not affect the club's competition at all.

Even though it was his first time playing in a League Cup final, it didn't give him any special thoughts and feelings.

He didn't toss and turn the night before the final and couldn't sleep, waking up very early on the day of the final.

He was as usual.

For those who have played in both Champions League finals, the Carabao Cup final is all too commonplace.

It's not just an honour that feels that way, it's the whole Manchester City team.

The team may not have won the Carabao Cup yet, but they will not be nervous about their first Carabao Cup final.

They are all seasoned players.

When they stepped onto Wembley Stadium, they did have a calmer look than their Cardiff City players.

Cardiff's players are not a little nervous because it's the Carabao Cup final, but because of the opponents they play.

Manchester City are a giant in their eyes.

※※※

From the very beginning of the game, Manchester City completely controlled the situation, and in the face of Cardiff City, Manchester City did not play any defensive counterattack, but took the initiative to play the control ball.

Now, with their quality, there is no need to play any defensive counter-attacks against a team like Cardiff City.

They played possession, while Cardiff City obediently played defensive counter-attacks.

Glory was very, very active from the first minute of the game.

This is because he wants to prove to everyone that his return to play in his home country will not affect the league or the club's honours.

There will be no less balls to win, and no championship to be won!

Poor Cardiff City, now in front of them is such a firepower, in the state of the glory of such a "monster".

So in the thirteenth minute, Rongguang cut inside on the wing, after breaking horizontally, he shot a curling ball with the outside of his right foot, and the ball bypassed the defenders in the penalty area, and also bypassed the goalkeeper's ten fingers, and then flew into the far corner of the goal.

There was no suspense, no difficulty, and football went in.

"Oooh, nice goal! Rong's goal set the tone early for this game! In front of the mighty Manchester City, Stoke City can hardly stand any chances! ”

John Mortenson shouted.

The reason that made him come to this conclusion was that he saw that today Glory was in very good shape.

Even if Stoke City can equalise in the next game, they will soon be honored to score again.

※※※

And so it is.

After Glory's goal, Manchester City remained firmly in control of the situation on the pitch, and Stoke City had no chance at all.

They are also trying to get a goalscoring opportunity, but their efforts don't seem to be very effective against the mighty Manchester City.

In the 38th minute, Stoke City finally set up an attack that looked like it could threaten the Manchester City goal, but their cross from the flank was eventually denied to Zabaleta on the touchline and Stoke City were given a throw-in.

Stoke City wanted to throw the ball straight into the Manchester City penalty area.

But City are clearly guarding against them doing so, so in the penalty area, there is little room for their men to catch the ball.

The Stoke City player who threw the throw-in hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to throw the ball back in the back.

But in the eyes of outsiders, his move seemed very sudden, and he didn't communicate with his teammates, so he just threw the football back.

This surprised his teammates who received the ball.

So he didn't get a throw-in from his team-mate......

The ball hit the ground behind him, bounced, and landed at the feet of Glory.

Glory turned and dribbled forward along the wing.

At this time, Stoke City was still attacking, so they didn't have many people at the back, and there were only four defenders.

Glory didn't go to the middle, and despite all the speculation that Glory was going to the middle, and despite all the Stoke City defenders being wary of Glory going to the middle, Glory didn't do it.

He just kept dribbling the ball along the wing.

The Stoke City defender who was on his inside was always stuck on the inside at first, but as he ran, he realized that something was wrong, because Glory dribbled the ball very fast, and if Glory continued to dribble the ball in such a straight line, it would be impossible for him to keep up with him!

So soon he was thrown off by the glory.

Stoke's centre-backs then rushed to the flanks to make up for it.

Although there is also an Ibrahimovic in the middle, he can't care about it at this time.

At this moment, the glory of winning the ball is the most dangerous!

He rushed all the way to Rongguang, who continued to play along the flank, and it didn't seem to mean anything about going to the middle, and it looked like he should end up with a cross that sent the ball to Ibrahimovic to finish the attack.

But just as Stoke City's central defender leaned in, Glory suddenly flicked the ball inward with the outside of his left foot!

He's going to cut inside eventually!

Seeing the glory cut inside, the Stoke City central defender, who had been following the glory, hurriedly shoveled towards the football.

But in the face of Glory's extremely fast speed, he only shoveled air.

The ball rolled away before he could tackle it, and Glory himself jumped up to avoid his tackle.

"Beautiful!"

There was cheering from the stands and the commentary stands.

Past the centre-back, Glory smashed into the penalty area, and now in front of him, there was only one goalkeeper in front of Stoke City.

And that's very, very simple for Glory......

Rong Guang, who entered the penalty area, slammed the ball into the middle with his right foot, and then fired a shot from his left heel towards the goal.

The Stoke goalkeeper was powerless to deal with the close-range shot, and he made a save, but it was only a reflex.

The ball flew into the back of the net behind him long before he made the save......

“2：0！ Rong scored twice! Manchester City are two goals ahead! It was as we expected, although it was the League Cup final, but there was no suspense! For Rong, he is bound to win this championship, and if he can still make the duck fly away, then he doesn't deserve to be the best player in the world! ”

"A wonderful long run! It reminded me of Ryan Giggs' strike against Arsenal in the FA Cup! Death in Rong's goal, Stoke City should have no regrets......"

"Of course they don't have any regrets, because they can't win at all...... "Alain Hansen, who was next to him, complained.

John Mortenson laughed.

The laughter may make Stoke City fans uncomfortable hearing it in front of the TV, but they should also know that the commentator is telling the truth.

When it comes to Manchester City now, everyone is dead, and Stoke City is no exception.

※※※

Rongguang's two goals in the first half actually made the game out of suspense, but Rongguang didn't stop there.

Because he wants everyone to make no fault with him returning to China to compete.

So before the end of the first half, in the 44th minute, Manchester City won a corner.

As Sneijder prepared to take a corner, he saw Glory gesturing at him to get the ball out a bit.

Sneijder was a little confused, for Glory stood at the front, and was very inward.

Sneijder was going to send the football directly to Rongguang's head, but looking at Rongguang's gesture, he wanted to let himself pass the football to the outside of his body, in this case, how could he compete for the top? Is he going to make himself a cover and give the header to someone else?

Sneijder didn't quite understand, but it was impossible for him to stand outside the corner flag area all the time and figure it out before playing.

So he can only choose to believe in glory now, anyway...... When did Glory fail him?

The referee blew the whistle, and he kicked the ball out, and the ball flew exactly in the direction of the outside of Rongguang's body.

At the same time, Rongguang, who was at the front end near the goalpost, suddenly stepped outward, and then he jumped outward, in the air, in the face of the flying football, he used an unconventional way, relying on his abdominal muscles, and shook his head to push the football towards the goal!

Glory's header that resembles a step-back jumper in basketball was completely unexpected.

The goalkeeper rushed out and tried to intercept the ball in the middle of the game, but Glory hit the ball earlier than him.

The soccer ball flies to the front post.

The Stoke City player, who was standing there, jumped up and tried to push the ball out with his head, but he didn't hit the ball.

The ball flew over his head and into the goal......

3：0！

"Hat-trick! Sakae scored a hat-trick in the first half!! ”
