Chapter 812: You're out so late, does your husband know?
"I'm leaving first, Su."
"Let's go, brother!"
"Do you want me to take you there?"
…
At the Carrington training base, Manchester City players packed up their things and said goodbye to Su Dong one after another.
Su Dong stood at the door of the locker room and hugged his teammates one by one as they left.
Everyone could see that he was not in a very good mood at the moment.
The same goes for them.
In the game against Arsenal that just ended, the two sides ended up with a 3-3 draw.
This can be said to be a major victory for Manchester City.
Even after the game, the fans at the scene were cheering and the players felt that this was a good result.
But I just can't accept it!
They received a red card four minutes into the game, were awarded a penalty kick near the end of the first half, took the lead three times, were tied three times, and were equalized by Arsenal in the final stoppage time of the game.
Who else would be willing to accept such a result? Everyone tried their best, and many players suffered cramps during the game.
This is not the credit of Su Dong alone, although he performed a hat trick, it is the result of the joint efforts of everyone in the team.
It is simply impossible to do this by one person alone.
"Everyone!" Su Dong suddenly shouted loudly.
Everyone stopped and turned to look at Su Dong, wondering why he was calling everyone at this time?
"Thank you! This is a touching game!" said Su Dong.
Manchester City players also nodded.
It was a tough game, but also a very touching one.
When every player on the court tries his best and strives towards a goal, that feeling is the most fascinating.
A lot of people have been at City for a while but they've never experienced a game like this and tonight was the first time.
"I sincerely hope that everyone can remember this game tonight, remember that feeling, and remember everything we experienced in the game." Su Dong said very sincerely.
"It wasn't perfect because there were red cards, penalties and... the equaliser at the last minute, but I believe it was the best game we have played so far this season."
The teammates all nodded, basically expressing their agreement.
"I also believe that we will play a better game next time, but it will always inspire us there. At the same time, I also believe that in the second half, when we go to the Emirates Stadium, we will avenge this arrow tonight!"
"You're right, Su, Arsenal has always been weak in the second half, so let's take revenge on their home ground!" Pepe shouted loudly, obviously full of confidence in the game.
"Yes, tonight, with the red card and penalty kick, they still couldn't defeat us. So they have to be prepared to endure our revenge. We won't let it go, right?"
The teammates cheered.
It was obvious that the game was tough and everyone was very tired, but the expressions on their faces were excited.
This is the kind of Manchester City that has hope! In competitive sports, there are many things that cannot be bought with any amount of money.
…
All the matches of the ninth round of the Premier League have been played.
Chelsea beat Wolves at home and Manchester United beat Stoke City 2-1 away. Both teams are rapidly narrowing the points gap with Manchester City.
After nine rounds of matches, Chelsea is only one point behind Manchester City, while Manchester United is six points behind.
The most unlucky team is Arsenal, which fell directly out of the top four. They have the same points as Tottenham Hotspur and West Bromwich Albion, but are lagging behind in the rankings. This probably makes Wenger very angry.
A red card in four minutes, plus a penalty, but we still failed to beat Manchester City away from home.
This is a godsend!
Wenger was reportedly furious at the post-match press conference and was not satisfied with the performance of several players.
No wonder, no one would feel good about it.
If we had won it, we would have been second in the league. Now that we haven’t won it, we have fallen to fifth in the league.
Although the ranking is only temporary, no matter what, failing to beat Manchester City is a missed opportunity.
…
After seeing off his teammates, Su Dong also had a special chat with Micah Richards for a while.
Micah Richards apologized for the red card, but the dressing room was clearly not very accepting of it.
This young player has performed well before. He is a member of the club's youth training and has a registered permanent residence. Naturally, he has been valued by Manchester City. Everyone expects him to play in the first team, which can be seen from his jersey.
Micah Richards is wearing the No. 2 jersey representing the main player, which shows how much the club values him.
But after Guardiola took office, his situation became increasingly embarrassing.
On the one hand, his playing style is not suitable for Guardiola's requirements. Even if he is placed on the wing, he finds it difficult to complete the tasks assigned to him by Guardiola, so his performance is sometimes good and sometimes bad.
On the other hand, Micah Richards, who is already 22 years old, has not performed at the level that the outside world expected of him when he was 18 years old. Instead, under the pressure of competitors such as Zabaleta and Boateng, his performance has become worse and worse.
Just like the game against Arsenal.
Guardiola left Boateng alone and let Micah Richards start. Can this be said to be a lack of trust in Micah Richards? But what was the result?
Micah Richards got a red card after four minutes, and it was an unnecessary red card.
After Boateng came on as a substitute, he did a very good job in defending Arshavin, so much so that Wenger directly replaced Arshavin in the second half.
When Micah Richards was sent off, Guardiola didn't even look at him, which shows how angry he was.
During the halftime break and in the locker room after the game, the Spaniard did not mention Micah Richards at all.
Given Guardiola's temper, Micah Richards is likely to be directly banished to the sidelines.
But no matter what, as the captain of the team, Su Dong still needs to comfort him.
"It's okay, it's all over. At least we didn't lose!" Su Dong comforted.
Is it really okay? Su Dong himself didn't think so.
…
After seeing off the last player, Su Dong packed up his things, picked up his training bag, and walked out of the locker room.
At this moment, it is already late at night.
It was quiet at the Carrington training base.
Su Dong walked out of the training building, looked around, and found that the driver who was supposed to be waiting for him was not there.
This was quite surprising to him.
Just as he reached out to take his phone, suddenly a familiar fragrance blew from behind him, and someone hugged him from behind, with his hands wrapped around Su Dong's neck in a familiar manner.
"Sir, do you need a driver?"
When Su Dong heard the sound, he laughed out loud in surprise.
"Huh, you want money?"
"Beautiful driver, it's free, would you like to take a ride?" Wang Chuqing asked in a sweet voice beside his ear.
Her hands were still holding him tightly, her head resting on his broad shoulders, smelling the familiar scent on his body, and her whole body felt satisfied.
"I don't dare sit down, for fear that your husband will beat me."
After a pause, Su Dong asked teasingly, "You are out so late, does your husband know?"
"I didn't know it just now, but now I know it."
After saying that, Wang Chuqing stood on tiptoe and kissed Su Dong on the cheek.
Su Dong laughed loudly, bent down and picked her up on his back.
"Then let's go and explain our affairs to your husband."
Wang Chuqing's light laughter came from behind, and she seemed particularly happy.
Su Dong was also in a very good mood. He did not expect that Wang Chuqing would run from Oxford to Manchester overnight.
She should have left as soon as she finished watching the game, or even before she finished watching the game.
…
Lying on the familiar bed, hugging the familiar woman, Su Dong felt relaxed all over.
Wang Chuqing was like a docile kitten, clinging to his arms, her hands gently roaming and caressing his body, quietly listening to Su Dong saying words that she could understand and could not understand.
"You know what? In tonight's game, I really felt that we are a strong team."
"Beckenbauer told me that the more difficult and adverse the situation is, the more an iron army can be honed. At that time, I thought that as long as we kept winning, we would be fine. But now I feel that it is not enough."
"We were able to draw 3-3 with Arsenal in such adversity. I believe we have enough ability to defeat all opponents. We have enough confidence and courage to face all strong enemies."
Manchester City is a team without any foundation.
Even if we start counting from the time when Thai Prime Minister Thaksin took over the team, it has only been three short years.
In the past three years, Manchester City has experienced major turmoil every year, reorganizing and reorganizing every year.
Such turmoil has certainly improved the team's strength on paper, but it has also been a huge blow to the club's morale.
Including Micah Richards, Michael Johnson and other youth players who had performed very well, are now beginning to fall behind the team.
Not to mention them, even Gareth Barry, Joe Hart, Milner and Bridge were unable to keep up with the team's rhythm.
But strength on paper alone is not enough, the team's morale must also keep up.
Guardiola is relatively weak in this aspect. He attaches importance to skills and tactics, and to passing and controlling the ball, but he is not a master of motivation like Mourinho. Therefore, his team always performs less than ideally when facing adverse situations and in strong dialogues.
But in tonight's battle, Manchester City seemed to have been reborn.
Su Dong believes that after such a game, Manchester City will definitely perform better than before.
As the captain of the team, he can feel the change in spirit.
This is what makes him happiest.
And tonight, facing Arsenal, the treasure is more valuable than the score of 3-3.
With it, Manchester City will have the hope of continuing to challenge the Premier League champion! Su Dong said a lot and thought a lot. Wang Chuqing waited for him to finish and think clearly before she entangled him like a beautiful snake. After kissing him lightly, she frowned and said coquettishly, "Now, you are not allowed to think about anything except me."
Su Dong knew what she was thinking. After laughing, he turned over and pressed her down on the bed again.
