Chapter 867 - The First Person in Football
An eight-1 home win over Arsenal shocked the world with Manchester City, and the overwhelming praise ensued.
But within the team, Gao Han is as always affirming the team's performance, but also pouring cold water, he doesn't want his team to be lost in such an epic victory with serendipity.
Yes, Manchester City are better than Arsenal, but definitely not to that extent.
Three days later, in the round of 16 of the League Cup, Gao Han played with a full bench against Leicester City in the Championship relegation zone, while Manchester City easily won 4-1 away and successfully advanced to the next round.
In the tenth round of the Premier League, Manchester City challenged Wolves away.
Less than a minute into the game, Benzema's goal gave City the lead.
After that, the two teams attacked and defended each other, and on the whole, Manchester City still had the advantage, until the second half of stoppage time, it was Benzema's goal that helped Manchester City finally beat Wolves 2-0.
Heading into November, Manchester City's first game is the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, at home to Ajax.
Having won the first three rounds, Manchester City were the favourites to break out of the group of death, and this time against Ajax, the team played a little slack, scoring after nine minutes through Xavi Alonso, but were unable to find the groove of the game after that.
In the second half, Suarez even seized a chance to sneak into the goal, and the assist was Ajax's young midfielder Eriksen, and it is worth mentioning that both players were recommended to Mendes by Gao Han.
After the tragic equaliser by Ajax, Manchester City came to their senses and launched a frantic counterattack, and it was not until near the end of the game that Kaka scored a goal to lock the score at 2-1.
In the end, Manchester City defeated Ajax with a hard-fought victory to make it four wins in a row.
But Gao Han was furious in the locker room after the game, unceremoniously reprimanding the players for their carelessness in the game, especially after taking the lead, and was taught a lesson by Suarez.
"This is the Champions League, and the slightest bit of slackness can lead to a catastrophe. β
"I repeat, I just have to focus on the players of the game!"
Everyone was completely frightened by Gao Han's thunderous rage, and no one expected Gao Han to be so angry.
But only Gao Han himself knows that this is the first time he has used a skill card this season, otherwise, this game will end in a draw, which will also be the first draw of his career.
Fortunately, the skill card played a key role in the final moments, especially in the last ten minutes, launching a frantic counterattack to help Manchester City win the opponent and survive the disaster.
But Gao Han was not happy at all, but was furious, because the skill card was not needed in the first place.
In the other group game played at the same time as Manchester City, Real Madrid took on AC Milan away and the two teams were inseparable.
Allegri is well aware that if he loses this game again, his team will basically be eliminated from the Champions League group stage early, so AC Milan played very tenaciously and Real Madrid repeatedly launched strong attacks.
It was only in first-half stoppage time that Di Maria set up Gonzalo Higuain's goal to give Real Madrid the lead.
But not long after the start of the second half, Inzaghi equalized the score, and the two sides returned to the same running line.
Not only that, in the 78th minute, Gattuso assisted, and Inzaghi scored another goal to reverse the score.
This made AC Milan extremely excited, and Real Madrid fell into a frenzied counterattack.
Jose Mourinho's side almost played with AC Milan until the end of the game, when Diego Costa set up Pedro LeΓ³n for an equaliser in the third minute of stoppage time.
In the end, the two giants drew 2-2.
At the end of this round, the group ranking remains unchanged, Manchester City is at the top of the table with 12 points from four consecutive wins, Real Madrid is second with 7 points with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, AC Milan is third with 2 draws and 2 losses, and Ajax is fourth with 1 point with 1 draw and 3 losses.
Judging from the standings, Manchester City has undoubtedly qualified in advance, the difference is only whether it is the top of the group or not, and Real Madrid has basically qualified, but AC Milan still has the possibility of a theoretical reversal, but it is extremely difficult.
Because AC Milan will play Manchester City away next, and Real Madrid will challenge Ajax away, and I believe that fans who watched the first few rounds of the group will not be optimistic about AC Milan.
As for Ajax, their only hope is to compete with the Rossoneri for third place in their group and a Europa League tie.
For this Dutch team, Gao Han has always felt that it is a pity, because their strength is not weak, whether it is Suarez, Eriksen, or other players, they all obviously have good strength.
It's a pity that Ajax has bad luck and is drawn in the same group of death as Manchester City, Real Madrid and AC Milan.
Three days after the Champions League group stage, Manchester City beat West Bromwich Albion 2-0 away.
This is the eleventh round of the Premier League.
However, the most eye-catching game of the round was at Anfield, where Liverpool, who have not had a Champions League game this season, beat visiting Chelsea 2-0 to give Scolari's side another head-on blow.
The Blues also won the Champions League group stage all the way, winning four in a row to advance to the top of the group, but facing Liverpool, the Blues were obviously a little caught off guard and finally had to leave Anfield Stadium with regret.
But Liverpool weren't happy for long, as Roy Hodgson's side soon slipped down the table after a 1-1 draw at Wigan Athletic in the 12th round of the Premier League in midweek.
Manchester City ushered in the Manchester derby in this round.
Alex Ferguson's Manchester United have been in good form in recent times, winning the Champions League and the league all the way, but this time against Manchester City, the Red Devils were unable to continue their previous excellent performances, and after a struggling opening half-hour, Manchester United were beaten twice in five minutes by Manchester City, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a brace.
And after the rematch in the second half, it was the Portuguese who scored a hat-trick and took a three-goal lead.
Manchester United scored a face-saving goal in the final moments of the game through Hernandez Jr.
Ferguson was also extremely frustrated by the defeat after the game, saying that Cristiano Ronaldo alone decided the outcome of the game, Manchester City deserved to win, and he also believed that the Portuguese should win the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
"I've been amazed again and again by his ability to score goals. β
Not only Ferguson, but all the media around the world have also praised Cristiano Ronaldo's form, believing that the Portuguese's performance over the past year is worthy of the title of the first man in football and deserves to be honored with the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
Gao Han also said in an interview with the media that Cristiano Ronaldo's performance this season is phenomenal.
"I would say that he's not the strongest, but he's good enough. β
In addition to Gao Han, Manchester City's teammates have also come forward to support Cristiano Ronaldo.
'With him, our task in the game is very simple, which is to pass the ball to him and he can score. David Silva, the team's top assister, laughed.
Kaka was also full of praise for his teammate and best friend, "I rarely compliment a guy like that, but I want to say that he is one of the greatest stars in football today and the best player of the last year, and I think he deserves to be recognized. β
Captain Xavi Alonso also said in a high-profile voice, "It's hard for me to imagine anyone other than Cristiano who deserves this honour more than him, he has won almost everything in the last year, it's just a pity that we didn't play in the Champions League, otherwise the Champions League would have been ours and Cristiano." β
In addition to Manchester City, including the coach of the Portuguese national team, Portuguese domestic celebrities and so on...... Most of European football is building momentum for Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, the media in Catalonia generally supported Messi, believing that Messi was more convincing in terms of championship honors, especially Barcelona's Champions League and league doubles, which should have been elected by Messi according to previous award conventions.
What's more, Messi's performance has not been bad this season.
Whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi is widely controversial in the media and fans.
But the Europa League battle continues.
Even more unexpectedly, just over the weekend, Manchester City hosted Birmingham City, opponents in the thirteenth round of the Premier League, and Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring after receiving an assist from Javi Martinez just two minutes into the game.
In the 31st minute, the Portuguese received an assist from Benzema and scored another goal to extend the score to 2-0.
Towards the end of the first half, Benzema assisted Sanchez to score again to make it 3-0.
The three-goal victory made Manchester City extremely excited, and the offensive in the second half continued to make persistent efforts.
In the 53rd minute, after Sanchez forced his start on the right side, he dribbled into the penalty area and assisted to the left side, and Cristiano Ronaldo stepped in to score again.
The whole city stadium is going crazy!
After scoring a hat-trick in two consecutive rounds, the Portuguese superstar rushed to the live TV camera in excitement and poked himself domineeringly at the fans around the world, as if to say, who else deserves the FIFA Ballon d'Or but me?
In the end, Manchester City beat Birmingham City 5-0, and the Portuguese scored a hat-trick in two consecutive rounds.
Cristiano Ronaldo's insane goalscoring form has completely detonated the Ballon d'Or race.
The day after the end of this round, FIFA also announced the top three players in the Ballon d'Or list, namely Messi and Iniesta who play for Barcelona, and Cristiano Ronaldo who plays for Manchester City.
There is not much suspense about who will be in the top three, and the only thing that will be curious is who will be the final winner, becoming the first player in football history to win the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
What is even more interesting is that this time FIFA has also added the best coach award to reward managers who have achieved outstanding coaching results in the past year, and the selection scope includes not only national team managers, but also club managers.
Gao Han, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola and Spanish national team coach Bosque have all been shortlisted.
FIFA has also announced that the event will be held in Zurich in mid-January.
Who will emerge from the many awards will not be known until the evening.
But on the night of FIFA's announcement of the shortlist, Chinatown, far away in Spain, suffered its first defeat of the new season, and it was an outright fiasco.
