Chapter 924: Will you take this Champions League?
The second half of the game was restarted.
Neither team made any substitutions at half-time, which made it easy for the game to continue the first half, so City started the second half first.
Right centre-back Mascherano won a corner kick for Manchester City after a successful steal, and then drove the ball down the right flank and crossed to win a corner kick for Manchester City, and also won the applause and cheers of the Manchester City fans in the stadium.
Xavi Alonso whipped in a corner and Cristiano Ronaldo leaped high into the box to grab the first spot, but he headed it slightly over the top and couldn't hold it down and missed a goal.
In the voices of the fans who were either sorry or relieved, many VIPs sitting in the chairman's stand also lost their voices.
"Cristiano Ronaldo is a monster. ”
"Isn't it? Look at his body, he jumped so high. ”
"The strength of the waist and abdomen is very strong, this ball is not smooth, if it is correct, it will be scored nine times out of ten. ”
"He's scored so many goals this season and is in such good form, I guess this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or will still be his. ”
Everyone was talking about it, but the game in the stadium continued.
Manchester City opened the attack, but Barcelona were quick to return the colours.
Both teams played against each other without reservation, which made all the fans who came to the scene, as well as the spectators stationed in front of the televisions, very entertained and emotional.
No one knows what happens in front of the TV, but at Wembley Stadium, the fans never stop.
"This is the highest level of football in the world. UEFA President Michel Platini also exhaled and laughed.
That's how football looks good and attracts more fans, that's always Platini's idea.
"The first half was so exciting, I was worried that the second half would be a little more conservative, but I didn't expect them to fight so hard. Secretary General Gianni Infantino chuckled softly.
The bald gentleman is best remembered for always presiding over the Champions League draw.
"There's no way to keep it, Manchester City is known for attacking, Gao Han won't give up possession, Barcelona's defensive holes are obvious, Guardiola won't retreat, whoever retreats will die, so this is destined to be a classic game. ”
Platini said this with a bit of smugness in his tone.
Since he became UEFA president, he has always admired technical football, and has even been accused of favoring Barcelona because of this, and this game is undoubtedly giving him a long face.
"But it's strange that everybody knows that Barcelona have problems on the left side, but Manchester City rarely seem to make a fuss on that side. ”
"It's normal. Platini replied, "It's not a secret that everyone knows something, Pep Guardiola must have been prepared for Abidal to start, do you think he will not be well arranged?"
Infantino got it when he went to the end.
"Wait patiently, it's only fifty minutes now, Gao Han either doesn't exert his strength, and if he exerts his strength, it will definitely be a killer move, you see that Mascherano has stepped forward just now, and he can't see it a little. Platini laughed fearfully.
Infantino couldn't help but laugh, and he couldn't even look past the right central defender, which shows that Manchester City is really going to exert his strength.
"Gao Han is indeed powerful, but what do you think about the matter that the outside world cares about?" Infantino asked seemingly casually.
Platini knew that he was talking about the cold incident, and his face suddenly became solemn.
Chinatown eventually made it to the Champions League, albeit as the fourth in the league, which made the La Liga newcomers famous, but it also presented UEFA with a big problem.
Gao Han is now Manchester City's chief technology officer and head coach, so he can be said to be in charge of competitive affairs, but at the same time he is the owner of Chinatown, if the two teams don't meet, that's fine, but now that they have reached the Champions League at the same time, it can be tricky.
There was already a lot of hype in the media during the winter break, when UEFA gave a clear opinion that it would not respond until after the end of the season when the national football federations submitted their Champions League qualification lists.
Now that the Champions League list is out, Chinatown has really entered the Champions League, how to respond?
These days, the media is about to break through the door of UEFA, and they are waiting for a reply.
How to deal with this relationship between Gao Han and Chinatown?
Obviously, the two teams must clear up the relationship, otherwise they will have to keep one of the two, and even both teams will be punished, and whether it is to sell Gao Han China Town, or let Manchester City fire Gao Han, this is obviously unrealistic.
So far, UEFA has taken the procrastination trick and has not made a clear statement, but this is certainly not the solution.
"This old friend has never given me trouble on weekdays, but when I find it, it's a big problem. Platini smiled wryly.
On weekdays, Platini has a lot of dealings with Gao Han, and many things are also borrowed from Gao Han, especially the La Liga boycott incident, Gao Han is a great contribution, and Platini also knows it.
Now this matter, if there is no media attention, he and UEFA will turn a blind eye to it, but the media is now staring at Gao Han, and he is so enthusiastic about this matter, how can he not pay attention to it?
This leaves UEFA unable not to give an attitude.
"Let's go over the rules and terms again. Platini sighed helplessly.
It's troublesome and tricky.
As soon as Platini finished speaking, a burst of cheers erupted in the stadium.
Manchester City have scored!
…………
…………
'City got the ball in midfield, Modric went to the right and passed to Sanchez. ”
Abidal stepped forward to defend and Sanchez made a nimble feint that shook Abidal and passed to the back post. ”
"Cristiano Ronaldo header ......"
"The ball is in!!!!!"
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!”
In the 54th minute, City took the lead again with a header from Cristiano Ronaldo. ”
"The Portuguese jumped high and shook his head to attack the goal under the two defenders of Alves and Puyol, one after the other, and this header was very smart, deliberately hitting a far corner, Valdés could not do anything. ”
……
The moment Cristiano Ronaldo's header scored, the enthusiasm of the entire Wembley Stadium exploded again.
In the stands, tens of thousands of Manchester City fans rushed out of their seats, frantically chanting the Portuguese name.
Cristiano Ronaldo was so excited that he rushed out of the pitch, slipped and fell under the stands of Manchester City fans, while his team-mates quickly pounced on him one by one and surrounded him.
At 3-2, Manchester City once again took the lead.
And in one of the executive VIP boxes at the stadium, there was also a group of people cheering for the Portuguese superstar's goal.
"Great, it was a crucial goal, it was so timely!"
'Who's to say it wasn't, it was a big blow to Barcelona to take the lead again in the second half after 10 minutes. ”
"In my opinion, Barcelona's hidden dangers are starting to come to light. ”
"Congratulations, Jorge, you've made a fortune. ”
"Isn't it? With the golden sign of Alpine and Manchester City stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Benzema, it's hard to make money. ”
Sitting in the crowd, the Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, smiled when he heard the praise of everyone, turned to look at Mansour beside him, and replied humbly: "It doesn't matter if I make money or not, the most important thing is that Manchester City wins, this Champions League is worth a thousand dollars." ”
When Mansour heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
After hearing this, everyone around couldn't help but secretly admire, this Portuguese is really a broker, this mouth can speak well, and he is knowledgeable and interesting, he deserves to mix so well in European football.
And Mendes was so around, and everyone began to congratulate Mansour again.
In the two years that Gao Han has been in charge of Manchester City, the Premier League team has not only been smooth sailing on the pitch, but also has made rapid progress in terms of operation, in terms of operation, thanks to the capital injection of the Abu Dhabi consortium, it has quickly caught up with many European giants, and with the help of superstars and outstanding results on the field, the club's global influence is also rising.
Not long ago, Forbes just released the list of the world's most valuable sports brands in the past year, the American baseball giant New York Yankees ranked first, Manchester United ranked second behind the New York Yankees, and the Red Devils are also the first brand in football.
After Manchester United, FC Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester City are ranked in terms of brand value, followed by Arsenal and Inter Milan.
Interestingly, also in the Forbes list, Manchester United ranks first in the ranking of the world's most valuable sports clubs, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Barcelona are second to fifth, while Manchester City is only in ninth place, even inferior to Chelsea, a Premier League team.
Forbes editor-in-chief Mike Ozanian's explanation for the difference between the two rankings is that the ranking of the most valuable sports clubs is based on various factors such as club revenue, profitability and debt, while brand value is more based on the influence of the club.
He also mentioned the phenomenon of Manchester City, believing that in the past two years, Manchester City, under the leadership of Gao Han, has introduced superstars, and the results have improved by leaps and bounds, and the brand value has also skyrocketed, and the ranking has soared.
And on the Forbes list of the most valuable athletes, there is only one footballer in the top 10, and that is Cristiano Ronaldo, who has just scored a goal.
Everyone knows very well that there is only one core reason for Manchester City's great transformation in the past two years, and that is the high cold.
If two years ago, everyone was skeptical about Manchester City's investment in many superstars, and then the introduction of Gao Han with a world-record high annual salary, then two years later, everyone has to admire the decision Mansour made two years ago, and it may even be the most shrewd decision he has made in Europe.
At least Manchester City are now valued at at least a billion pounds, which is still not as good as Manchester United, but it is completely different from two years ago.
Mansour is also quite satisfied with the development of Manchester City in the past two years, and under the leadership of Gao Han, the team has swept the entire Europa League, and now they are playing against Barcelona in the stadium, which makes him proud.
But as long as he thought of Gao Han, his face couldn't help but darken.
Manchester City only signed a two-year contract with Gao Han, and now the contract is about to expire, but Gao Han's renewal has not been carried out for a long time.
Even if Manchester City have offered him a contract with a higher annual salary than before.
Everyone present, including Mendes, clearly knew Gao Han's decision, and they could understand Mansour's mood at this time, a Champions League was enough for Manchester City to step into the ranks of European giants, but once Gao Han left......
But what kind of person Mansour is, after only a little reluctance, he quickly smiled again, and turned his head to look at Tamim, the chairman of the Qatar Investment Authority, who was sitting next to him.
"How's the situation on your side?"
