Chapter 771: Gambling Contract
The 4-1 home defeat of Arsenal won Manchester City a full house of applause, even those discerning media, who did not hesitate to praise Manchester City, praised it very much, and even wrote a script to push Manchester City to the top of the standings.
But in the midst of the praise, Gao Han and Manchester City remained calm and restrained.
After the recovery training session the next morning, Gao Han held a summary meeting as usual, on the one hand, summarizing the gains and losses of the game against Arsenal, and at the same time announcing the news that the team was off for a day, but in the end, Gao Han warned all the players very seriously and solemnly that this game could not be done at all.
The four-1 win over Arsenal can only be said to be a problem for the Gunners themselves, and it does not mean how well Manchester City has done.
On the contrary, Gao Han told his players very seriously that they must wake up the spirit of 120,000 points and play every next game well, so that the team can hope to continue this winning streak.
The players have also received warnings from the high cold.
The team had a day off, but for head coach Gao Han, he was not so free, and only gave the coaching staff half a day.
Early the next morning, he arrived at Carrington's training base on time.
Because, he has to discuss the team's training this week with the coaching staff in detail.
But what he didn't expect was that when he drove to the training base, he found that a brand-new supercar had been parked in the parking lot early, and it was a Bugatti Veyron.
"Good boy, it's true!"
After Gao Han got out of the car, he went around the Bugatti Veyron and touched the body behind him, feeling a little dreamy.
Although he is not very fanatical about supercars, as a man, he has always lacked immunity to this type of car, especially when it comes to luxury cars like the Bugatti Veyron, which only exist in newspapers and magazines.
Seeing the appearance of the security guard outside the parking lot pursing his lips and snickering, Gao Han pointed to the luxury car and asked, "Who's?"
"Cristiano Ronaldo. The security guard replied with a smile.
To be honest, it was already a great honor to see this car with his own eyes, not to mention that he secretly ran over to take a few photos just now, and he felt even more enjoyable.
"Did he come this morning?" Gao Han was a little surprised.
According to his arrangement, yesterday afternoon and this morning were holidays, and the training camp resumed in the afternoon.
"A little earlier than you. The security guard politely replied.
Gao Han nodded and pointed to the Bugatti Veyron in the parking lot, "Then you have to be careful, if someone comes to smash the car, my one will help me take care of it anyway, as for his one...... Just smash it. ”
The security guard smiled and nodded, as if asking, can I understand this as a man's jealousy?
Gao Han walked through the parking lot and came to the front of the training building of the first team, and saw someone running around the training ground in the distance, from far to near, very fast, and suddenly came to Gao Han.
"Hey, boss. After shouting, the Portuguese had already swooped past in front of Gao Han.
Gao Han had time anyway, so he didn't go away, just stood there, watching him run in circles, until he felt a little unbearable, so he sweated and panted and stopped in front of Gao Han.
"You're changing cars again?" Gao Han asked with a smile as he handed over a bottle of water.
"How do you know?" asked Cristiano Ronaldo with a smile.
Gao Han was also happy, "I'm not blind in my eyes, such a big car is parked there, I can't see it?"
The Portuguese laughed triumphantly and gulped down their water.
"What about your previous Porsche, Audi, BMW and Ferrari?" Gao Han asked again.
"It's all sold. ”
"Isn't it?" Gao Han was a little surprised, "It seems that your Porsche 911 has only been bought for a short time, right?"
"I didn't really like the car. Cristiano Ronaldo explained.
Gao Han nodded, and the two of them had the impression that they were rich and capricious.
However, with his current net worth, there is really no need to worry too much, just like that Porsche 911, many rich people may have to save for a long time, but he only needs a few days to earn a car, so it's no wonder that he cares.
"Isn't your garage empty?" asked Gao Han with a smile.
Cristiano Ronaldo's new home is also in the Golden Triangle of Cheshire, not far from Gao Han's new home, which he bought from a British upper-class celebrity, just renovated, but has not yet lived in it, very tasteful, but his favorite is the luxury garage outside that can park ten cars.
The reason is very simple, in addition to picking up girls, this kid's favorite thing to do is to buy a car.
In the past few years, the Italian pickle girls who are full of beautiful women have been a little boring, and their girlfriends have changed less frequently, but they still like luxury cars very much, and it is said that they can fill the entire garage.
"I'm going to buy an Aston Martin, the one I drove in the movie Zero Zero, but my mom and my sister come to stay a lot, so I'm thinking about buying another Rolls-Royce and getting a driver. ”
Gao Han smiled, what do you mean by Gao Fushuai?
This is the one in front of him!
With the highest sky-high annual salary among professional players, he is handsome and not only supported by fans, but also the darling of fashion entertainment circles and advertising sponsors, which is a piece of cake for him.
According to agent Mendes, after moving from Inter Milan to Manchester City, Cristiano Ronaldo set the highest transfer record in the history of European football, breaking 100 million, which won him worldwide attention.
In the new season, although he missed the European competition, he scored consecutive goals in the Premier League, scoring six goals in five rounds, and is currently the top scorer in the Premier League by Rooney and Defoe, who have scored five goals.
It can be said that today's Cristiano Ronaldo's popularity and influence have not decreased, but have gradually climbed.
As the head coach of the team, Gao Han can also vaguely guess why he only gave himself half a day before returning to the team for training.
In the eyes of many people, Cristiano Ronaldo is like a playboy, who is ruthless and merciful, but in Gao Han's view, his private life has nothing to do with football, and the Portuguese is one of the hardest and hardest working players he has ever seen on the football field and training ground.
In fact, playing football is a very difficult profession, and it would be unfair to only see the superficial scenery of professional stars and ignore the hard work and hardships behind them.
It can be said that superstars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, and Messi are all more disciplined, professional, and hardworking than anyone else, otherwise, they would not have climbed to the position they are today.
But in this day and age, it's easy to get carried away by superficial glitz.
"I had a hunch. Gao Han suddenly looked at Cristiano Ronaldo and said.
"What?"
'You can score at least 35 goals or even 40 goals this season. ”
"Huh?" Cristiano Ronaldo was taken aback, "how is this possible?"
"Why can't it be?"
"You know, boss, the current Premier League is not like the 03-04 season, if you want to score more than 30 goals, it's already quite difficult, score 40, that's just ......" Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't help but laugh.
Even he didn't dare to think about it.
But Gao Han didn't smile, just looked at him silently, with a serious face.
"No, boss, are you serious?"
"Nonsense. Gao Han nodded, "I think you can exceed forty balls." ”
Cristiano Ronaldo is a little overwhelmed, even if he has scored six goals, I am afraid that even he himself does not dare to imagine what it would be like to score more than 30 goals or even 40 goals in a season.
"I don't think you believe it, so let's make a bet. ”
"Bet?" Cristiano Ronaldo said that he was only twenty-four years old, which is the age when young people are in high spirits, where can they be stimulated, "Okay, what to bet on?"
Gao Han's eyes rolled, and he pouted behind him, the meaning was obvious.
"Bugatti Veyron?" Cristiano Ronaldo was really hesitant, he treated this car as a treasure, and he finally found a lot of connections to buy it, where would he easily take it out and gamble?
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not very demanding, if you lose, lend it to me for a year. ”
Borrow?
Cristiano Ronaldo is still a little distressed.
For him, this car is just like his girlfriend, where can he borrow it casually?
"And what if you lose?"
Gao Han smiled, "You can pick the car in my garage, you can borrow it for as long as you want." ”
No matter how you look at this deal, he suffers a loss, because the car in the alpine garage, except for the Ferrari, he can't look down on anything else, let alone borrow it.
But Cristiano Ronaldo nodded not to be outdone: "Okay, let's make a decision." ”
The Portuguese had a very determined look in his eyes, and he was clearly full of fighting spirit.
"Okay, that's a deal. Gao Han smiled and patted his wet shoulder, his muscles seemed to be full of explosive power.
Seeing the back of Gao Han's departure, a smile appeared on the corner of Cristiano Ronaldo's mouth.
He understands the manager's intentions, but since it's a bet, he won't lose anyway.
Since his debut at Atletico Madrid, the word defeat has never appeared in the dictionary of his career.
Even if this time he is facing the boss he respects the most.

…………
While Manchester City were resting in Manchester and preparing for the upcoming 152nd Manchester derby, Manchester United left Manchester again in midweek to travel to Turkey to take on Besiktas.
United haven't had a good rest since the two-week international break, and now it's an away game, and it's a long journey, with Ferguson rotating his squad but United are playing poorly on the road.
Despite the overwhelming dominance, the Reds were unable to find an effective way to break down Besiktas's goal, and the two sides remained deadlocked until the 77th minute of the second half, when Nani assisted Paul Scholes for the winner.
In the end, Manchester United took away the precious three points from the away side 1-0 thanks to Paul Scholes's goal.
This game is not only three points for the Champions League group stage, but also a good start to the new season.
The other three Premier League sides also got off to a flying start with midweek wins.
Immediately after the away game, United returned to Manchester to prepare for the game.
Three days later, the sixth round of the Premier League.
Arsenal's match took place the day before the Manchester derby, and the home side beat Wigan Athletic 4-0 thanks to a brace from Vermaelen and goals from Cesc Fabregas and Dasilva.
This time, Da Silva's goal finally broke the goal drought of the front line, but Van Persie and other main players still failed to score, and the embarrassing situation of Arsenal scoring more goals in the middle and back than in the front line continued.
On the second day of the Gunners' home game, the Manchester derby finally kicked off.
