i want to be king

Chapter 809 As long as Su Dong does not fall, Manchester City will never lose!
"Clap clap clap!"

In the silent locker room, only the sound of the masseur beating his muscles remained.

It is too difficult for Manchester City to have one less player than the opponent. Every player is under heavy pressure.

Modern football tactics are all interlocking. If one person is missing, it is often not as simple as everyone working harder to make up for the lack of numbers, but a more disparate gap that is difficult to make up.

Su Dong sat on the seat, leaning his back against the wardrobe, raised his head, closed his eyes, and gradually calmed down his breathing.

Personal therapist Grant Downing was leaning over to massage the muscles of Su Dong's legs.

Su Dong's personal coaching team was the only non-Manchester City employees allowed to enter the dressing room by Guardiola.

They even know Su Dong's physical condition better than Manchester City's team doctor. Many times, Manchester City's team doctor needs to negotiate and communicate with them when making decisions, which is also allowed by Guardiola.

When the masseuse stopped, the huge locker room fell into a terrible dead silence, with only the players' heavy breathing faintly.

The first half ended [-]-[-].

Fabregas finally scored a penalty.

Leading twice and being equalized twice, Manchester City is really angry.

But if it is after getting a red card, all this seems extremely tragic.

……

Not knowing whether it was the heavy pressure brought by the dead silence, or his own inability to overcome this hurdle, Kompany finally stood up after taking a deep breath and walked to the middle of the locker room.

"I'm sorry!" Kompany apologized to the players, "I really just wanted to stop him at the time. I didn't grasp the timing of the kick, and the result was just a little bit worse." After finishing speaking, Kompany looked so sad that he wanted to commit suicide and apologize.

The Belgian central defender is still very responsible.

But sometimes it’s like this, the more responsible you are and the more you do, the easier it is to make mistakes.

Just like some own goals, sometimes it is really the players who do bad things with good intentions.

Is it possible to blame the players for this?

Su Dong thinks not.

Professional football is a team sport, and the individual abilities of the players should be part of the team, which requires every player to work together, stay focused, and do their best.

Therefore, in football, the sense of responsibility is the most important.

Su Dong stood up straight from his seat, walked to Kompany's side, put his arm around Kompany's shoulder, patted him lightly, and comforted him, "It's okay, no one will blame you, you've performed well enough."

Kompany looked at Su Dong gratefully, nodded, and following Su Dong's hand strength, he returned to his seat.

"I know that everyone has tried their best and worked very hard. No one has any qualifications to ask everyone to do more. Everyone has performed well enough to deserve this jersey."

Su Dong's words made all the Manchester City players present agree in their hearts, and they had indeed tried their best.

Facing a powerful team like Arsenal, one player was missing from the 4th minute. In this kind of game, the score was two to two at the end of the first half. What else do you want?
If the opponent is a team in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, then such a result can indeed be fought for again, but the opponent is Arsenal!
Especially Arsenal in the first half!

But just when everyone agreed with Su Dong's words in their hearts, Su Dong had already clenched his hands tightly, and continued to say through gritted teeth: "But I just can't be reconciled! I can't be reconciled! I can't be reconciled!!!!"

At the end, Su Dong vented his uncontrollable unwillingness with a deep roar.

"We were ahead in 45 seconds, we were given a red card in the 4th minute, and then they tied the score, but we scored another goal, and in the end, they gave us another penalty..."

At the end of Su Dong's speech, he looked up at the ceiling and took a deep breath, "If they scored our goal by virtue of their strength, then there is nothing to say, we admit it, and we can take a penalty..."

"They just want to drag us down from the leader position!" Pepe suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

"In the past so many years, we were the first team to challenge the traditional semi-finals. They didn't want to see us continue to lead the standings. They tried every means to drag us down and defend their dominance in the Premier League. Red card! Penalty! This is the best evidence!"

Su Dong's low growl was like a bell knocking on the players' hearts, resonating with them, while Pepe's roar tore apart everything.

In the past few years, the Premier League has been ruled by the traditional top four, first Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool, and then Chelsea joined the championship team, becoming the so-called four major families of the Premier League.

But now, Manchester City has risen.

In the ninth round of the league, Manchester City is still the leader of the Premier League.

Some people are getting anxious!

Pepe's statement is a bit of a conspiracy theory, but the red card and penalty kick really happened, is it really just a coincidence?

The players in the locker room have also been infected one after another, and this possibility does exist.

How to explain Manchester City's red card and penalty against Arsenal?
"I won't be convinced. If any team, any opponent wants to beat me in this way, then I can only answer them, thinking too much!" Su Dong said loudly.

"I don't know what everyone is thinking at this moment, but from the moment I got the red card, I only had one thought. I want to slap them to death, and I want them to know that neither the red card nor the penalty kick can defeat us!"

"I want to tell them that we are not disorganized, we are not nouveau riche, we are not mercenaries, we are Manchester City! We are an iron-blooded army aiming to win the Premier League title and the Champions League title! We are the only undefeated Iron Lions in the Premier League so far!"

"Anyone and team who want to beat us must be mentally prepared to bear the price!"

The players in the locker room were obviously infected by Su Dong. David Silva, Marcelo, Toni Kroos, Kompany and others all stood up at the same time. Sanchez followed Su Dong, looking very excited and clenched his fists tightly.

The Chilean winger is deeply influenced by Bielsa, and there is crazy and unyielding blood flowing in his bones.

"I, in the second half, will definitely fight Arsenal to the end!"

"I will do my best to win, and I will do everything I can to win, and I will never give up!"

"Well said! Never give up!" Peipei also became excited, walked directly to Su Dong's side, and stood with him.

"Yes, we will fight with them!"

"Go to hell, isn't it a red card? Isn't it a penalty kick? Who is afraid of whom?"

"Just do it!"

"Even if we only have ten people, we can still beat Arsenal to the ground!"

"We will never let Arsenal take three points tonight!"

"That's right! If you want to take away three points, you must defeat us first!"

……

Guardiola was in the coaching area next door, and he was also deeply encouraged by watching the movement of the players.

He has never been an emotional person, on the contrary, he has always felt that he is very rational.

But he was far from emotionless.

On the contrary, he is easy to be emotional, but once emotional, he is more fanatical than anyone else.

At this moment, he even has an urge to put on the jersey, rush into the field, and fight with everyone.

But in the end, he managed to restrain himself.

"Josep, would you like to come over and say something?" assistant coach Domenech Torrent asked.

Guardiola shook his head, "No, they don't need me now!"

Seeing the puzzled look in Torrente's eyes, Manel Estiate immediately explained: "The game has reached this level, and any tactics are useless. We are just such a few people. The more we get to the end of the game, the more difficult it is for us. It is no longer skills and tactics that support the players, but the spirit in their hearts!"

He used to be the Olympic water polo champion, and he knows very well how important this energy is in competitive sports.

In various sports, there are countless athletes every year, just because of this gas, they have plummeted since then.

Whether Manchester City is an upstart or a mercenary depends on this anger!
Guardiola can bring the team the most advanced technical and tactical concepts and the most meticulous tactical details to the team, but he cannot inject such a breath into the team, which is due to his character.

Unexpectedly, Su Dong made up for this shortcoming!

Tonight's Manchester City is really showing the temperament that a strong team should have, and Su Dong is the leader of Manchester City!

…………

…………

By the goal at the Etihad Stadium, Sterling and Phil Foden just watched Cesc Fabregas score a penalty with their own eyes.

At this moment, they looked at both sides of the court, the players of the two teams warming up.

Like the fans in the stands, they were full of confusion and anxiety.

"You said, can we hold it?" Phil Foden, who was only ten years old, asked with concern.

It was the first time he felt such a cruel game on the spot, which brought a huge shock to his young heart.

He doesn't understand anything, but has the simplest wish.

Manchester City can beat Arsenal!

"I can't hold it!" Sterling told a very cruel truth.

This should be the truth that everyone, including the Manchester City coach and players, knows.

One man was sent off in 4 minutes, and another penalty kick was awarded before half-time. Such a game cannot be played at all.

Not being able to keep it is a certainty, but it is a miracle if you keep it!
"Then what should we do?" Phil Foden asked anxiously.

A white smile appeared on Sterling's dark face, "Then fight with them and try to score again!"

Phil Foden couldn't think of such a complicated thing in his little head.

He didn't understand, didn't he say he couldn't keep it?Why do you still have to fight for goals?
"We have Su Dong. He is the most powerful center forward and the most powerful player in the world. With him, we will definitely be able to score again and keep scoring goals!" Sterling's tone seemed to be something like faith.

This made him firmly believe that Manchester City still has to play.

As long as Su Dong does not fall, Manchester City will never lose!
