On December 6, the Copa del Rey ignited the flames of war.

In the first leg of the knockout round of 32, Chinatown defeated Saint-Te André of the Second Division 4-0 away.

On December 10, the sixth round of the Champions League group stage.

The situation of the entire Group A has been decided, except for the competition for the first and second place in the group.

However, unlike Shakhtar Donetsk's uneventful defeat to Manchester United, Bayer Leverkusen caused huge problems for Chinatown at the Block Stadium, until the 87th minute of the second half, substitute Jesser Jesse cut inside from the left side and scored the fatal goal for the team.

The 20-year-old has been unanimously praised by many celebrities, including Zinedine Zidane, who believes that he has the potential to become a top superstar in the future, and Zidane has even opened a small stove for him, and his improvement this season is also quite obvious, and he is gradually becoming an important member of the team's first team, and the most promising rookie in Spain.

It is worth mentioning that although he is only twenty years old, his son is already one and a half years old.

After renewing his contract with the team this year, the liquidated damages were as high as 200 million euros, and his salary also rose sharply, and he immediately bought a new house for his parents in Madrid, so that his parents could enjoy peace of mind and no longer need to work hard.

Now, this Champions League goal, which is worth a thousand gold, proves his strength, and at the same time brings a valuable group place to Chinatown, laying a good foundation for the next round of 16 knockout rounds.

Jesus also became famous with this goal!

Speaking to the media, the emerging talent expressed confidence that he was very happy to help the team score such an important goal, and he firmly believes that he can play an even more vital role in the first team.

But as for the rumors that he may leave Chinatown, Hesse denied it.

'I'm not leaving, I'm happy to be here and hopefully I can continue to grow and improve, I want to be able to contribute more to the team, get more minutes and become more and more important. ”

"In my mind, Chinatown is already one of the best clubs in the world, with management, manager, coaching staff, teammates...... There are some of the best people in the world around me who are working hard, and that's the best thing for me. ”

After the goal, he excitedly rushed to the sidelines to hug the head coach Zidane, and then waved to Gao Han in the chairman's stand, Jesus said, "I just went to Zidane at that time, and he gave me a lot of care and help, a lot of advice. ”

"I am also very grateful to Mr. Gao Han, who talks to me a lot and gives me the feeling that I am an important player in his mind, which makes me feel more honored than ever before and makes me more confident. ”

When Gao Han saw these interviews with Hesse from the newspaper the next day, he couldn't help but laugh and called Armando Marcos directly, telling him that his colleagues in the press and public relations department should get a salary increase.

On December 14, in the 16th round of La Liga, China City defeated Sevilla 2-0 away.

Therefore, the top four positions in the league remain unchanged.

…………

…………

After the final round of La Liga before Christmas, Chinatown is at the top of the table with two points at the end of 17 rounds, while Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are once again tied on second and third places.

Real Madrid have been in a slump this season, with just 38 points, 10 points away from Chinatown at the top of the table and eight points behind Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

After the halfway point of the La Liga schedule, all media reporters and fans around the world were surprised to find that La Liga is no longer the one-man show or two-person turn it used to be, and the strength pattern of Barcelona and the Western Super League has been completely broken.

This season's La Liga looks more like a race to arms.

In the half-way summary of the Marca newspaper, he specifically mentioned the current situation in La Liga, thinking that China City can lead the standings, although it is somewhat surprising, but it is not unusual.

"If the departure of Pochettino at the beginning of the season was worrying, then the arrival of Zidane, in the continuation of the pochettino period of stability and passion, further activate the team's attack, is a sign of Chinatown's strength. ”

"If you only look at the top scorers, it's hard to see the names of Chinatown's players, but if you look into the top 20, you will find that Chinatown has six players in the top 20, and the team's total goals are only less than Barcelona's, which in itself is enough to prove the quality of Chinatown in attack. ”

Marca believes that Chinatown's lead in the standings is an encouragement, but at the same time, it must also be vigilant, after all, Pochettino also led the league table for a long time during his tenure, but the second half of the season was plummeting.

"Hopefully, Zidane will learn from his predecessor's lessons. ”

As for Barcelona, Marca believes Martino's side have scored 46 points and are only second, which is quite a staggering thing, as it is the second-highest number of points Barcelona have won before the winter break in the last decade or so.

The highest was last season, when Barcelona scored 49 points in the first 17 rounds of the winter break under Vilanova, which was the highest half-time championship in this century.

It is not difficult to see that Marca is very sympathetic to Martino's situation.

But Barcelona's problem isn't just Martino, it's management.

Valdés, Iniesta and other players are facing contract renewals, Messi also has higher requirements for his treatment and situation, but Rosell is hesitant in this regard, the club's finances are not sufficient, so that he can not meet the internal requirements of the team like other local tyrant teams, but this move has caused dissatisfaction among the players.

What is even more worrying is that Messi has been affected by tax evasion cases and money laundering scandals this season, but instead of supporting the Barcelona management, the club's vice-president Javier Faus has publicly declared that the club has no reason to give Messi a salary increase.

When he was anxious, he was treated like this, Messi was furious, and accepted the media to publicly give a counterattack, criticizing Javier Faus as a ball blind who knows nothing about football.

Messi also publicly clarified that he and his family have never taken the initiative to ask for a salary increase.

Ibrahimovic, who has always been loud-mouthed and outspoken, also rarely publicly supported Messi, saying that the club's remarks were chilling and that Messi should not be treated in this way.

Soon, the World Sports newspaper revealed the inside story, Javier Faouz is Barcelona's vice president in charge of finance, and his remarks are not nonsense, but it is indeed inappropriate to say so about Messi in public.

The media also broke the news that Russell personally called Messi after the incident, saying that Javier Faus's remarks did not represent the opinion of the club's management, and promised to restart contract renewal negotiations with Messi after the winter break.

Everyone knows that the most unoffending player in Barcelona today, the first is Messi, the second is Ibrahimovic, and now the two superstars are attacking at the same time, how can the management not pay attention to it?

Barcelona is troubled internally and externally, Real Madrid is also full of problems, the team's defense has had big problems this season, Albiol and Bruno Alves's defensive level has slipped quickly, which has made Real Madrid's results this season quite sluggish, conceding too many points.

Therefore, Marca believes that with the current momentum, this season's La Liga title will be born between Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and China Town.

According to the odds offered by the bookmaker, China Town is still the lowest odds among the four strong teams, which shows that everyone is still not optimistic about the team's performance in the second half.

But for Chinatown's performance this season, many media in Spain and Europe have described it as crazy.

The team with the lowest average age in La Liga, Zidane who coached for the first time, combined the two, but created Chinatown, which is now the top of the La Liga rankings, which has to be said to be quite amazing.

Many media have dug deeper, believing that Chinatown can be what it is today, thanks to the efficient and professional management team.

"The operations and commercial operations team, led by Armando Marcos, has made Chinatown one of the most profitable clubs in European football in just a few years, for example, during this year's winter break, Chinatown was invited to Doha for training, not only did it cost nothing, but also received a generous appearance fee, and two commercial sponsorship contracts for the Middle East will be signed. ”

"Carlos Cantarero used to be the best assistant coach in the world, but now he is definitely the top technical director in football today, and it is because of his presence that Chinatown has sold its core players every year in the past few years, but has maintained the top four in the league every year, which is the first record in Europe. ”

"Of course, the most important thing to ignore is the high cold. ”

"Thirteen years ago, when China Town was created, starting from the lowest league in Spain, no one could have imagined that today, thirteen years later, the youngest top-flight team in European football is already at the top of La Liga. ”

"Reusing an outstanding professional manager like Armando Marcos and promoting a technical director like Cantarero, Gao Han's management of Chinatown has undoubtedly played an excellent role model for the entire European football world, and what is even more commendable is that Chinatown has a considerable influence on the Internet, and it is not lost to top giants such as Real Madrid and Barcelona. ”

But what is even more surprising is that in the list of the top 50 local rising stars in the new season selected by the Spanish media ISF, there are five Chinatown players in the top ten, namely Isco, Koke, Jesus, Morata and Moreno, not including Carvajal, who switched to Real Madrid.

In the top 20, there are two young players, Saul and Bellerin, who both played in the second team and performed well.

In this list, Chinatown is known as the best team in Spain's youth academy.

"As this group of local players born after January 1 '92 continues to grow and improve, Chinatown's momentum will continue to grow rapidly and steadily in the coming years. ”

In the list of the 100 most valuable clubs in the world released by the famous Brazilian consulting company PLURI, Chinatown entered the top 10 for the first time, and rushed to sixth place in one fell swoop, even surpassing teams such as Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Juventus, reaching 470 million euros.

But that's just the value of the players, and if you look at the Forbes club's market capitalization rankings, Chinatown will be worth one billion euros, behind Real Madrid, Manchester United, Barcelona, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan.

Forbes also predicts that once the new stadium in Chinatown is opened, and the results of this season continue the momentum of the first half, the overall market value will exceed 1.5 billion, or even reach 2 billion, ranking in the top five.

For these false names, Gao Han is purely used as entertainment news.

He is more concerned about the team's training camp in Doha, Qatar, and the selection team of the Chinese Football Association, which will soon arrive in Europe.
