On the afternoon of the 26th, the 19th round of the English Premier League rekindled the fire.

Manchester City host Stoke City.

It can be said that this is a Christmas gift for all Manchester City fans, Gao Han deeply believes in the tradition of English football, so he also attaches great importance to this game, and at the same time strictly controls the diet and life of the players during the Christmas period.

Stoke City manager Tony Pulis is also a veteran coach in the Premier League, with a lot of experience, facing a wolf-like Manchester City, and playing away again, they face the traditional 442 and adopt defensive counter-attacking tactics.

However, Stoke City's defence lasted only half an hour before the game was fully in the rhythm of Manchester City.

After half an hour of stalemate, the Stoke City team's physical energy consumption was almost the same, Gao Han immediately arranged for the team to press the attack, with the blessing of the skill card, Manchester City played a wave of more than ten minutes of fierce attack, respectively in the 31st, 34th and 44th minutes, by Cristiano Ronaldo two shots and a pass, Kaka a pass and a shot, to help Manchester City with a 3-0 lead into the halftime break.

After the rematch in the second half, Manchester City continued to increase their attack.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in the 68th minute, and the assister was Kaka again.

Under the overwhelming offensive, the emotions of Manchester City fans at the City Stadium were completely ignited.

In the final stages of the game, Manchester City came back to the next level, scoring goals each in the 81st, 87th and 89th minutes with Kaka, Sturridge and Sanchez to help Manchester City beat Stoke City 7-0.

With seven goals in two consecutive games and nineteen in the last three, Manchester City's attacking prowess has stunned the entire Premier League and European football.

But what is even more terrifying is that in this game, Manchester City's possession rate once again reached 72%, the number of shots on goal reached 32 again, and 20 shots on target, if it were not for the good performance of Stoke City's goalkeeper Begovic, it is estimated that more could have been scored.

The frenzied offensive made the whole city stadium boil.

A hearty victory is undoubtedly the best Christmas gift Manchester City can give to all fans.

In this round, Chelsea drew 0-0 away at Birmingham, Liverpool beat Wolves 2-0 at home, Arsenal beat Aston Villa 3-0 at home, and Manchester United beat Hull City 3-1 away.

Manchester City's seven-goal win at home also shocked Chinatown executives, especially manager Mauricio Pochettino, who flew from Madrid to Manchester, because he saw that the cold team had completely dominated the football field.

In front of Manchester City's strong control, Stoke City did not even have a chance to resist.

He is very clear that on the one hand, this is due to the strong team of stars that Manchester City has, but on the other hand, it also depends on Gao Han's integration of the team and the three, four, three formation he has developed.

It can be said that it is this set of tactical play that has brought Manchester City's powerful attack power to the extreme.

This made him have to admire Gao Han from the bottom of his heart, and even envy him.

…………

…………

After Lin Xia returned to China with his children, he left Gao Han alone in Manchester, and the whole family was not hungry when he fed alone, so Gao Han seemed to have returned to the days of being single, except for going home to rest at night, most of the rest of the time was spent in the team.

This time, Mendes accompanied Armando Marcos, the general manager of Chinatown, Cantarero, the technical director, and the head coach Pochettino to Manchester, and Gao Han specially invited them to eat at one of the most famous Western restaurants in the city, and chartered a luxury box on the top floor to facilitate their discussions.

And the news that they brought from Spain was indeed surprising.

'Granovskia called me this morning and Abramovich told me personally that they were willing to pay liquidated damages for Falcao and Ramirez, and that Granovskia was in charge of the details, and that he hoped to receive good news of the successful transfer before he returned to London. ”

At the dinner, everyone didn't have the appetite to eat, and Mendes was the first to talk about the purpose of their trip.

Gao Han listened silently, and the look on his face added a bit of solemnity.

He really didn't expect Chelsea to have such courage, 90 million euros in liquidated damages, just give it, local tyrants.

"What do you think?" Gao Han looked at Armando Marcos, Cantarero, and Pochettino.

Although Mendes is close, he represents the interests of the players in this transaction, which is somewhat embarrassing.

'I don't think there's any reason for us to refuse such a transfer request. Armando Marcos was the first to take a stand.

It wasn't until not long ago that Gao Han transferred him to a Middle Eastern tyrant client, and the two sides began to negotiate the naming of the new stadium and the advertising sponsorship on the chest of the jersey, and he was temporarily relieved and relieved.

But if Falcao and Ramires can be sold and get 90 million euros in transfer funds, it will definitely be a great help to Chinatown, and the new stadium is in sight.

"I have to be warned. Armando Marcos looked at Cantarero and Pochettino, "The Spanish professional league is really not happy with our home stadium, the broadcast conditions are too poor, which is very inconsistent with us, according to the broadcasters, they are willing to pay a fee to help us further improve the facilities of the stadium, but we also need to bear part of it." ”

"If you add the question of renewing the contract, I am afraid that the financial aspect will be ......"

Cantarero and Pochettino looked at each other and both nodded, both understanding their team's difficulties.

"The question now is not whether to sell or not. Cantarero followed Armando Marcos's words, "It's about how do we ensure the competitiveness of the team after the sale, now we are seventh in the league, the difficulty of relegation should not be too big, but do we really just want to be relegated?"

Everyone understands what Cantarero means, and he finally climbed to seventh in the league, so he must keep this position.

Or at least it's impossible to fall to the bottom of the league, is it?

"As an outsider, I have some ideas. Mendez snapped in.

All eyes were on the Portuguese, and as the best and most successful broker in the world, his ideas certainly deserved attention.

"Tell me about it. Gao Han nodded.

"In less than a decade since the establishment of Chinatown, it has been a miracle in itself to be able to gain a foothold in La Liga, and a large part of the reason why this team has attracted so many fans is here, but your foundation is very fragile, and one can capsize in the gutter at any time and fall back into the lower leagues. ”

Everyone nodded, and Mendes's analysis was thorough.

"One of the most important things for you now is to lay the foundations, a new stadium is an urgent priority, so to speak, as long as you can build a new stadium, anyone in the team can sell it. ”

Mendez said this so that everyone present was speechless.

"To be honest, Chinatown is most proud of youth training, ten years, to create a banner of youth training in European football, so that countless young players are eager to promote, tap and cultivate young players, this is what Chinatown is best at now, but also the most able to generate income business way. ”

"At present, in European football, the transfer market bubble is getting more and more serious, on the one hand, the financial crisis caused by the subprime mortgage crisis, professional football has gradually become a safe haven field, it can be said that behind every economic crisis, is an opportunity for the great development of professional football, and now it is, and on the other hand, Manchester City's crazy investment of more than 400 million euros, and Real Madrid's transfer budget of hundreds of millions of euros in hand, are greatly contributing to this wave. ”

"I can guarantee that the transfer fee will get higher and higher in the coming years, which may be a disaster for other teams, but it is a great opportunity for China City to use this opportunity to strengthen the foundation of the team and build up for the future. ”

Mendes's words were very pertinent, and Gao Han and the others nodded again and again when they heard it.

The more the economy is down, the more professional football will prosper, this has been the law for the past few decades, and now with the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, the economic crisis is also beginning to brew in Europe, and a new boom in professional football will soon come.

This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Chinatown.

Arsene Wenger sold Anelka that year, and used this money in exchange for Henry and a Kearney training base, which was talked about by countless Arsenal fans.

Now, Chinatown has also reached the moment when a strong man must break his wrist.

Selling Falcao and Ramirez in exchange for a sizable start-up capital to push forward the construction of a new stadium would have been a bargain.

What's more, Alpin's plan has already received the support of the Madrid District Government, the Madrid City Government and the Fuenlavrada City Government, and they should also give a financial allocation support at that time.

Now is the moment of truth and a choice must be made.

It's not just a question of whether to sell Falcao and Ramirez, it's about the team's approach for the next few years.

That is to follow a business model similar to that of teams such as Porto, Lyon, Sevilla, etc., to tap and cultivate a group of young players, sell arbitrage, exchange funds, and invest in the construction of the club to lay a solid foundation for the future.

But in this way, during this period of time, the China City team can't expect to produce anything at all, and it is quite commendable to maintain the current ranking in La Liga.

"What do you think, Mauricio?" asked Gao Han with concern, posettino.

Everyone looked at Pochettino in unison.

It's not just about asking for his opinion, it's about wanting to know his attitude.

Do you want to continue to fight with the club and get through this difficult time, or do you want to find another job?

In fact, Gao Han has already made his attitude clear.

Without the support of the local tyrant consortium, Chinatown can only play the black store model, and only after he has laid a solid foundation can he be qualified to compete with other giant teams.

Pochettino also knew that his answer was very important, and after thinking about it very seriously, he raised his head, looked at Gao Han, and nodded very sincerely: "I agree to sell Falcao and Ramirez." ”

After hearing this, Gao Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was also very optimistic about Pochettino.

"But I have one request. Pochettino shifted.

Gao Han nodded, "You just say it." ”

"I'm going to do everything I can to keep the team in the league at least 10th at the end of the season, so I'm hoping to put some of the money into transfers and contract extensions. ”

Pochettino said without humility or arrogance.

He is an ambitious manager and naturally wants to stay in an enterprising team.

If Gao Han just blindly wants to chase financial interests, and is even willing to sacrifice the team's results for this, then this kind of team will not stay.

With Pochettino's influence in Spanish football today, there is no shortage of coaching opportunities.
