As the saying goes, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop.

When Gao Han and Cristiano Ronaldo broke up and were gradually replaced by other news events and became the focus of attention of all the media and fans, the two European Championship qualifiers once again pushed the two masters and apprentices back into the limelight.

In just four days, Portugal beat Denmark 3-1 at home and then 3-1 away to Iceland, and after two games without a win, it was immediately on the heels of a two-game winning streak and, more importantly, Cristiano Ronaldo scored four goals and scored twice in both games.

This undoubtedly shocked fans around the world, and everyone was amazed by the stunning performance of the Portuguese superstar.

After the 3-1 away win over Iceland, Cristiano Ronaldo gave his first media interview in nearly two weeks, openly talking about various rumors from the outside world, saying that it was not true at all.

'I never wanted to leave Manchester City because I've had a great time here, I've got a really good group of team-mates, a coach who trusts and supports me, and I really like the Premier League environment and it's a good fit for me. ”

For the head coach Gao Han, Cristiano Ronaldo said that he was very grateful.

"I don't know where the rumors came from, you know, there's a lot of different news going on every day in the world, and we can't just respond to a news story every time, it's unrealistic, because then we don't need to play football at all, and we can become a press PR professional, right?"

"I didn't play for Newcastle mainly because I accepted the team's internal punishment, a one-game ban, and leaving the team early is also the meaning of the boss, although he didn't say it, but I understand that he wants me to better prepare for the national team, he knows me, he knows that I missed the first two rounds of the group because of injury, and the psychological pressure has been very high. ”

"I think there's some rumors out there that's funny, you know? I'm only going to clarify it once, and that's that I don't have any problems with my boss, and I don't, and I can't have a problem with him. ”

"I admit that I was a little angry at the moment I was substituted, but not at anyone, but at a mental state of mind as a whole...... Anyway, I just wanted to continue to help the team win, a little bit of over-committed, but then I calmed down in the dressing room for a while and I figured it out, so I came out again and congratulated my team-mates on the goal. ”

"I think it's very normal because in a game, everybody can be affected by the situation on the pitch and cause some emotional gaffes, but it's definitely not as outrageous as it is rumored to be outside. ”

As for his situation in the team, Cristiano Ronaldo said he was not worried.

'Gareth is a very good player, I know he works very hard and has a lot of potential, but I never felt like we were in a competitive relationship, we were there to help City win games better, and if the coaching staff thinks he's a better fit than me, then I'll follow the advice and reflect on whether I'm not doing well enough. ”

At the same time, Cristiano Ronaldo also took advantage of this interview to publicly apologize to Manchester City's teammates and coaching staff, saying that he was very sorry for his problems that seriously affected everyone, and promised to work harder to restrain himself, hoping to help Manchester City achieve more results in a better state.

After half a month, Cristiano Ronaldo's public voice undoubtedly gave a resounding slap in the face to all the previous conspiracy theories, but no one will pursue the various news concocted by the media in the past period.

This is also an unspoken set of rules in professional football.

Gao Han was also quick to respond to the Portuguese interview in Iceland in Manchester.

'I'm very happy to hear him and I'm glad to see how well he's been in both games, I've always thought he would be an integral part of the team, was, is and will be. ”

As for the upcoming eighth round of the Premier League, Gao Han said that Cristiano Ronaldo will be placed in the squad, but whether he can play will need to wait until he returns to the team and participates in team training before making a judgment.

Gao Han and Cristiano Ronaldo responded one after the other, which undoubtedly put an end to the rumors of a master-apprentice break that had been in a uproar for nearly half a month.

Although there is still a lot of gossip outside, and there are still many rumors that this is just a conspiracy theory that both sides take a step back and the conflict has not been resolved, this is no longer paid attention to by mainstream media reporters.

Even the fans don't believe such rumors anymore.

…………

On the afternoon of October 16, the eighth round of the Premier League.

Manchester City take on Blackpool away.

Cristiano Ronaldo was in the starting line-up as promised, while he was joined by Gareth Bale and centre-forward Karim Benzema, with the Welshman on the right.

Not only that, in the forward position, Gao Han also arranged Adam Lallana to start in place of Kaka, plus Milner on Modric, Manchester City's entire midfield has undergone a large rotation.

The same was true at the back, with Mascherano and Zabaleta both playing for the Argentine national team, so Gao Han arranged for Kompany to play on the right, Vertonghen on the left and Javi Martinez in the middle.

This can be said to be a set of semi-main Manchester City second team, but the opponent Blackpool is not strong.

Twenty minutes into the first half, City kicked in the head of the head, with Vincent Kompany and Gareth Bale scoring in quick succession, with Gareth Bale's goal coming from an assist from Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, after the start of the second half, City's performance slipped a bit, and Blackpool striker Fletcher scored a goal after receiving an assist from Campbell to put the game back in suspense.

At the crucial moment, Cristiano Ronaldo stepped up and received an assist from Karim Benzema to push the score for Manchester City again, helping the Blues finally beat Blackpool 3-1 away and won the three points.

As in previous games, Gao Han did not use the skill card in this game.

On the evening of October 19, the third round of the Champions League group stage.

Manchester City travel to Amsterdam to take on Ajax.

Ajax boss Martin Jol, who has been in charge of Tottenham Hotspur and is familiar with the Premier League, has lined up a very targeted counter-attacking tactic in the game, hoping for striker Suarez's individual ability.

Manchester City played away from home and did not start the game well but remained firmly in control.

It wasn't until the 36th minute that Kaka assisted Benzema to score a goal.

Eight minutes later, on a set-piece opportunity in front, Javi Martinez added another goal with a follow-up shot.

City continued to keep the pressure on Ajax after the rematch in the second half, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring twice in the 60th and 71st minutes respectively to help City beat Ajax 4-0 away.

Kaka provided two assists, Alexis Sanchez had one, and the four attacking players up front were all doing a great job.

In the other matchup at the same time, Real Madrid won 2-0 at home to AC Milan thanks to two goals from Diego Costa in the 13th minute and Mesut Ozil in the 14th minute, earning three valuable points.

Brazilian striker Diego Costa shines at the Bernabeu Stadium with a pass and a shot.

After three rounds of the Champions League group stage, Manchester City leads the group standings with three consecutive wins, Real Madrid has two wins and one loss, and AC Milan and Ajax have both drawn and lost two, with only one point.

Three days after playing in the Champions League, Manchester City hosted their opponents in the ninth round of the Premier League, Arsenal.

It is said that it is a strong enemy, but in fact it is not that strong.

Before the game, some media turned over the old scores, revealing the embarrassing embarrassment of Arsenal in the past few years, especially since February 2008, they have not won a single victory from Manchester City's City Stadium, and they were beaten by Manchester City last season.

Not only Manchester City, but also Arsenal have been in a terrible away form in the big talks, and it has been almost two years since they won at the home of Chelsea and Manchester United, which is undoubtedly quite embarrassing.

And whether it was last season or this season, Arsenal's performance has not been satisfactory.

The team's young age, youth status, and general lack of experience have led to repeated defeats for the Gunners, especially this season, when facing the top four teams, the Gunners' win rate is only 17 percent, which is very embarrassing.

And this game undoubtedly once again cited the concerns of the outside media.

Just four minutes into the opening game, Modric's through ball was passed to the back of the Arsenal defense, Sanchez formed a single knife against offside, central defender Julu put a tackle behind him, and referee Klettenberg did not hesitate to pull out a red card.

This made Arsenal almost collapse.

But it also greatly boosted City's morale, and the Blue Moon, playing at home, began a frantic attack, leading 3-0 in the first half thanks to goals from Benzema, Alexis Sanchez and Cristiano Ronaldo.

At half-time, Arsene Wenger made the first substitution to strengthen the backline.

But after the rematch in the second half, Manchester City's offensive continued unabated, with Cristiano Ronaldo, David Silva and Kaka scoring successively to rewrite the score to 6-0.

It wasn't until the 75th minute that Arsenal pulled one back through Robin van Persie.

But soon, Sanchez and Cristiano Ronaldo scored one after another, and finally locked the score at 8-1.

The Portuguese superstar scored twice, but the man of the match went to Alexis Sanchez, who not only scored twice, but also scored a hat-trick of assists, and Arsenal's opening red card also came from his anti-offside position.

It was a shocking massacre, but what was even more shocking was that the target of Manchester City's massacre was the Premier League giants Arsenal, and not only the entire Premier League was shaken, but even European football and the world were shocked.

No one would have imagined that Manchester City would be able to slaughter Arsenal so much at home.

Eight to one, this is the biggest margin in the Premier League this season.

In an interview with the media after the game, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger regretfully admitted that the team was not as good as others, but at the same time said that the score could not reflect the difference in strength between the two teams, and Arsenal lost more to luck.

'I think the referee was problematic and it was absolutely unreasonable to send off our main centre-back in the first four minutes, and of course I can understand that this is a city stadium after all. ”

Wenger faintly pointed the finger at the referee, thinking that the referee was suspected of taking care of the home team, and the outside world generally expressed suspicion, because Julu, who started in place of Koscielny, fouled from behind the tackle is ironclad, and the nature is relatively bad, Sanchez is not injured, or has a broken leg, which is considered lucky.

In this case, is a red card excessive?
