Chapter 363 The Symbol of the Dynasty
In the second half, because both sides slowed down and were no longer interested in the game, no goals appeared.
The fourth official stood up and raised the sign in the 89th minute, telling everyone that there were three minutes of injury time for this game.
At this time, the cheers in Manchester City Stadium were getting louder and louder, and the commentators on the scene had to shout at the top of their voices so that their voices could appear clearer in a noisy environment and be heard by the audience in front of the TV.
Wigan Athletic has given up resistance, and Manchester City's victory is close.
At this time, everyone knew that it was already irreversible for Manchester City to surpass AC Milan.
The record, which has been covered in twenty years, is about to be rewrite.
Manchester City fans in the stands stood up from their own actions, singing songs to express their inner joy. At the same time, they couldn't wait to hope that the game would end quickly. For the last three minutes, they could not rewrite any scores for Wigan Athletics. Instead of wasting it, it would be better to end the game directly and let Manchester City start celebrating the victory.
Manchester City fans can't wait any longer and are unwilling to wait for another three minutes.
The referee seemed to feel the eagerness of Manchester City fans.
So just as the game reached the 90th minute, he blew the whistle to the end of the game.
As soon as the first whistle sounded, the following whistle was overwhelmed by the huge cheers in Manchester City Stadium. Despite this, the players on the field knew that the game was over.
Manchester City player central defender Godin kicked the ball into the sky with a kick, as if setting off fireworks.
Next, Manchester City substitutes who were waiting on the sidelines rushed into the court and hugged and celebrated this historic moment with Manchester City players on the court.
As Manchester City's head coach, Benitez still seems calm.
He wants to show his calmness and not be as excited as the players.
He hadn't forgotten to shake hands with the head coach of Wigan Athletics.
Although he shouted before the game that Manchester City would never let their bodies set a record, after the game, the head coach of Wigan Athletics still congratulated Benitez with great grace.
Benitez also responded to his kindness, and the two shook hands and patted each other's arms.
Then Benitez turned around and went to celebrate the victory with the players.
At this time, Manchester City players were already celebrating wildly on the court.
Manchester City fans in the stands were singing collectively to cheer the players on their celebrations.
"The game is over! Congratulations to Manchester City! They have accomplished things that countless teams can't do, or even dare not even think about. They broke the 58 league unbeaten record that AC Milan has previously held with fifty-nine league unbeaten!"
John Motson said excitedly, and his tone was very proud. This was a record set by England's team. This is not only the glory of Manchester City, but also the glory of English football.
He Ping, who was commenting on the game on the spot, also seemed very excited: "In the history of European football, AC Milan's 58 unbeaten league games is a symbol and landmark of the Milan dynasty. Whenever people mention unbeaten in the 58 unbeaten league games, they will think of the glorious years of Serie A and AC Milan, and they will think of it as the Milan dynasty. Now, Manchester City has broken the AC Milan record with unbeaten 59 unbeaten league games. So will this become the dynasty symbol created by Manchester City? I think we have enough reason to look forward to this team. After all, there is glory in this team! He is the most dazzling diamond in the crown of the Manchester City dynasty!"

Manchester City players celebrating on the court soon wore a special jersey. From the front, they looked like Manchester City's home jersey, but the background was different.
Behind is a huge golden Arabic numeral: "59".
This is a record-breaking commemoration T-shirt that Manchester City club has long been prepared.
Wearing this commemorative T-sing, Manchester City players circled around the field and waved to the Manchester City fans in the stands for their support and efforts.
Manchester City fans in the stands also responded to the players with applause and singing.
Wigan Athletics players and fans have all left the stadium. Is Manchester City Stadium completely owned by Manchester City?
※※※
Manchester City broke the record, and this matter soon became the focus of discussion across Europe after the game.
The official website of "Milan Sports" was the first to publish this news. In the comments, the newspaper seemed a little sad. After all, it was the pride of AC Milan and their Italian football.
"...At present, AC Milan is declining, and its performance is getting worse every year. Nowadays, young people may only be able to understand how brilliant AC Milan's team was once. But at least, we still have something to talk about to masturbate, that is history. This is the 58 unbeaten record created and maintained by AC Milan. The Milan dynasty has become a ruin, but there is still this record standing in the ruins. But now, even the last surviving symbol in the ruins has collapsed. From then on, people will mention the longest unbeaten record in the five major European leagues, and will no longer mention the name of AC Milan, but Manchester City. Manchester City surpassed AC Milan with their outstanding performance and completed a task that seemed impossible to complete. We must congratulate Manchester City on its own, although I am in pain at this moment..."
In England, there are almost always cheers for Manchester City.
After all, it is a great achievement to be unbeaten in 59 games in the league. This is hard strength. In the face of such a performance, any slander is meaningless and can only bring in slandering.
In other European countries, Manchester City is also praising their performance.
French "League" believes that Manchester City has completely dominated English football.
German Biography said that Manchester City's performance was too shocking, and no one knew where their limit was...
Several major news agencies in the world are also paying attention to Manchester City's fifty-nine league unbeaten games.
Even the Xinhua News Agency of China published relevant reports the next day, focusing on Glory's position and outstanding performance at Manchester City.
What Manchester City fans like to do the most these days may be to collect various newspapers and see how they praise them.
However, for Rongguang, the morning after setting a record is no different from the morning after the normal competition. He still got up early and started his new day of morning exercises.
When the whole world was stunned by Manchester City's results, Rongguang had already started warming up on the training ground outside his villa.
Record-setting is a common occurrence for Rongguang, and his mentality will not change because of setting a new record.
He knew very well that the road ahead was still long.
His goal this season is to defend the Champions League championship. He has not even played in the Champions League group stage yet... How can he relax?
※※※
Benitez and Rong Guang had the same idea, so on the first day of the team's training, he told his players not to be confused by the results they just got, and the results can only represent the past. Although we set a new record, the season has just begun. This record of 59 unbeaten in the league is actually just good to say, but don't be blinded by the crazy hype of the media. This record will not have any effect on us winning the championship this season and will not help.
If you really feel that everything will be fine if you get a record, players will soon be able to experience the feeling of falling from heaven to hell.
So we must take advantage of the momentum of setting a new record and rush forward in one go, continue to win, and continue to win until we win the championship.
Next, Manchester City will challenge Porto away. This is the first game of Manchester City's defense of the Champions League in the new season. This first step must be steadily and steadily.
Because he was worried that the players would slack off after setting a record, Benitez made this speech specifically to the players.
Then, in the afternoon of the same day, the whole Manchester City team flew to Portugal on a special plane to prepare for the match against Porto.
Manchester City may be the only team in Europe to play all away games in the Champions League on a club plane. The team controlled by the rich is different, they are rich and willful.
However, for this reason, Manchester City players can suffer less and spend less time while running back and forth.
It is conducive to the recovery of Manchester City players' physical fitness.
In fact, after Manchester City won the Champions League last season, some media reported that Manchester City took special planes to go away games, and believed that this move that did not care about money was also one of the important reasons why Manchester City could win the Champions League championship.
The strong logistical support allows Manchester City players to have no worries when playing away games. They are as relaxed in the away game as if they were playing football in the garden behind their house, and their performance is naturally outstanding.
That's why Cruyff is so unhappy with Manchester City, thinking that they won the championship entirely through money, and such championships have no value.
But in fact, money is also one of the hard powers of a team. Cruyff is purely a trick. Why didn’t he reflect on Barcelona, which is also a wealthy family with strong financial resources?

As a team that has just broken AC Milan's record, Manchester City will inevitably attract a lot of attention wherever they go. They have attracted the attention of many Portuguese media in Portugal.
The hotels they stayed in, their training, their press conferences, anywhere, were packed with journalists and fans.
Some of these people simply want to see Manchester City's style, while others want to spy on Manchester City's military information, hoping to help Porto defeat Manchester City at home.
Manchester City seemed generous and had nothing to hide. The training was open and allowed to be watched by the Portuguese journalists and fans.
Benitez is still confident about this.
Chapter completed!
