Chapter 814: Another Scandal
Although it may be a bit exaggerated to say this, being eliminated from the League Cup is actually a good thing for Manchester City.
After the ninth round of the Premier League, other teams have all faced the fourth round of the League Cup, while Manchester City can have a good rest and get a week of precious rest time.
The morning after playing against Arsenal, Guardiola finished the recovery training and gave the team a day off so that everyone could relax and better prepare for the upcoming league and Europa League games.
In the tenth round of the Premier League, Manchester City will challenge Wolves away. In the middle of the week is the fourth round of the Europa League group stage, an away challenge to Poznan Lech. As long as they win this game, Manchester City will be able to qualify for the group.
Juventus has actually always hoped that Manchester City could win Lech Poznan.
The Zebras failed to beat Red Bull Salzburg. If Manchester City fails to beat Lech Poznan, they will be gradually left behind.
In an interview with the media, Del Neri revealed that he felt Manchester City should be able to beat Lech Poznan, and Juventus will strive to beat Red Bull Salzburg at home, win the valuable three points, and then complete a comeback in the group standings.
This seems to be a high probability event, but the key still lies in Manchester City's away game against Poznan Lech.
…
Throughout the entire month of October, except for a few days of vacation in early October, Su Dong did not take a single day off.
It was a rare day off, so he immediately accompanied Wang Chuqing back to Oxford.
She hurried north last night and waited until the next morning to ask for leave from school, so she had to return to school in the afternoon.
Su Dong was also very touched. After sending her back to school, he disguised himself again, went out to buy a lot of food, returned to the rented house, cleaned it up, put it in the refrigerator, and waited for Wang Chuqing to come back.
After class, when he returned home and saw the refrigerator full of food, Wang Chuqing did not show any emotion, but frowned beautifully, stared at him and asked: "Is the reason you love me just to find someone to cook for you?"
Su Dong would never admit it, but in fact, he also liked Wang Chuqing's cooking.
Of course, her cooking skills are really mediocre.
My future father-in-law and mother-in-law’s cooking skills are amazing.
Su Dong’s parents actually can’t cook, and he has been making do with whatever he can get since he was a child. But ever since he had eaten the meals cooked by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Su Dong began to wonder if his fiancée could also inherit these excellent genes?
The answer is obvious, no!
Wang Chuqing even made a video call to her parents who were far away in China and asked them for guidance from afar, but she was still flustered and made a mess of the food. In the end, she wasted the ingredients that Su Dong had carefully bought.
Even his father-in-law Wang Qingquan shook his head on the phone, "If you had learned even 10% of your parents' cooking skills, you wouldn't have ended up like this."
Yu Qiulan also agreed very much and said that when she saw Wang Chuqing, she would definitely give her some special training.
"Remember, girl, if you want to keep a man's heart, you must first tie up his stomach."
After hearing this, Wang Chuqing turned her head and looked at Su Dong, looking at him with a resentful look, a pair of eyes that seemed to be asking him: Is it because I can't cook well that you are going to run away with someone else? "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person, am I?" Su Dong assured sincerely.
Just when Wang Chuqing was about to nod, Su Dong changed the subject and said with a smile: "I am just playing along at best, I won't fall in love. My goal is to have a red flag flying at home and colorful flags flying outside."
As soon as Su Dong finished speaking, Wang Chuqing rushed over to him and the two of them started playing together.
This made the future father-in-law and mother-in-law in the video call feel embarrassed to continue watching, and they quickly turned off the video call.
Having a good relationship is one thing, but is it appropriate to flirt in front of elders? ...
"This kid...will be pissed off to death by him!"
Wang Qingquan, who was far away in China, cursed with a smile after turning off the video link.
"Will you be angry? Isn't what he said the voice of you men?" Yu Qiulan asked sourly.
Wang Qingquan was speechless immediately. He wanted to imitate Su Dong and make a sincere promise and a few witty remarks, but then he thought, no, how can a father-in-law learn from his son-in-law? So he coughed and simply stopped talking.
"My biggest wish now is for them to have children soon, so that when I retire I can help them take care of the children." Yu Qiulan also has her own plans.
"You have to wait in line for this. I heard from Lao Su that as long as they have a baby, Lao Su and his wife will immediately quit their jobs and help them take care of the child. They are grandparents, who can compete with them?"
“We are grandparents!”
"We still need to discuss it. It would be best to give it to them on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and give it to our family on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday." Wang Qingquan had a nice idea.
"What about Sunday?"
"Take both families together to watch the game in person." Wang Qingquan said with a smile.
Ever since his precious daughter found her home, he has truly felt relieved.
There is really nothing to complain about Su Dong, his son-in-law, and he is quite satisfied with him.
The only drawback now is that one of them has gone back to study and the other is still playing football, so they have no time to have children.
Both families are only children, and are now eagerly waiting for the third generation.

After a wonderful day's vacation, Su Dong returned to Manchester, only to be greeted by another piece of bad news.
Sometimes, Su Dong felt really angry. Why did something happen every time the team had a holiday? They finally had a holiday, but couldn't they just enjoy a nice holiday? Why did they have to go through so much trouble? Just like before, they still drank heavily in the nightclub and got drunk.
What’s even more outrageous is that there are more people this time.
Gareth Barry, Joe Hart, and this time also Given and Adam Johnson.
Last time I went to Spain, this time I went to Scotland.
Taking photos and videos, all-in-one service. The only difference is that there are no hot girls accompanying you this time, but there is a group of male and female college students.
The four players, along with college students from the University of St Andrews in Scotland, first partied in the Lizard Bar. The four players took turns drinking and paying for everyone in the bar, which pushed the atmosphere in the bar to the extreme. When Joe Hart was drunk, he just grabbed handfuls of fifty-pound notes and threw them everywhere.
After drinking at the bar, they were still not satisfied, so they went to the university dormitory and had a wild party that lasted until the early morning.
The reason why it was exposed this time was not because of the reporters' surveillance, but because the students of St. Andrew's University took the initiative to report to The Sun and provided videos and photos.
…
When Su Dong arrived at the Etihad Stadium, Guardiola was furious with Begiristain and threatened to sell the four players. "Such players will never be allowed to exist in my team!"
Guardiola almost slammed the table and yelled, obviously very dissatisfied with this matter.
Anyone would be annoyed if it happens again and again.
When he saw Su Dong coming in, Begiristain seemed to have found a savior. He quickly invited him in and told him the whole story from beginning to end, adding some inside details that had not been seen in the media before.
This time they were invited by friends to secretly go to Scotland for a drink.
The problem of alcoholism has a long history. It can even be said that it is part of English football culture. There is a reason why English fans are not welcome in other countries now.
When Wenger first coached Arsenal, the problem was even more serious. He was so angry that he had to take drastic measures and forcibly changed the team's style and eating habits. This led to Arsenal's peak in the following years.
For the English players, what's the big deal about drinking a little alcohol?
Alcoholism and gambling are hardly news in English football.
If we really want to catch them, we can just hide them in the England national team's hotel and catch a lot of them, including quite a few players who are placing bets and gambling.
Not to mention others, the famous Manchester City coach Malcolm Ellison, who just observed a moment of silence at the Etihad Stadium not long ago, gave people the impression of holding a wine glass in his hand and a cigar in his mouth. His players were all his drinking buddies, and they often went to the bar together with their arms around each other.
In fact, his most famous thing is taking a bath with a porn star in the bathtub of the team's locker room. Far from being a scandal, this has become a hot topic in the entire English football world.
In a way, what Gareth Barry, Joe Hart, Given and Adam Johnson did was the most English.
"I don't understand why things like this always happen? We gave the players that day off in the hope that they could have a good rest and do what they want to do, but I don't understand why they would choose to do this?" Guardiola said angrily.
Su Dong sighed in his heart, what's there to understand? Drinking is what they want to do.
But to be honest, Su Dong was also quite dissatisfied with the actions of these four players.
How long has it been since the previous guarantee?
Forgotten so quickly? Gareth Barry and Joe Hart were just suspended for two games.
It's true that once the wound has healed, the pain is forgotten!
Did they really think that if they went to Scotland to drink, no one would notice? Or was this something that was dug up by the media? What about the things that the media didn't find out? Did they drink in other places, at other times, or even during the busy schedule? It's really hard to think about it.
"Let's punish him inside the locker room!" Su Dong suggested.
The situation outside has already gotten out of hand, and it's impossible for Manchester City to add fuel to the fire now, right?
This group of English players are young and wealthy, popular in society, and attract attention everywhere, making it very difficult to manage them.
If there were suitable replacement candidates during the transfer period, Su Dong would think that it would be okay to just sell him directly. Unfortunately, high-level local residents are extremely scarce nowadays.
How to deal with it? There is a saying in the English coaching circle: the biggest headache for the head coach is alcoholism. In comparison, playing with women is more acceptable because the players' physical and energy are always limited.
So, in England, with so many news reports of cheating, from Beckham to Rooney to Crouch, and even Terry's cheating on his wife, has anyone ever seen the head coach come out to take care of it?
But alcoholism is a big problem!
