Chapter 870 - Skills are not as good as others
After the final decision was made by the management, Chinatown officially replied to Atletico Madrid, who immediately arranged for a negotiating team led by Hill Jr. to contact Armando Marcos to discuss Schneiderlin's transfer.
At the same time, technical director Carlos Cantarero has also started the winter break transfer plan, aiming to get the number one recruitment target before Christmas, so that he can come to the team early to participate in the training camp and prepare for the team, and integrate into the team faster.
All of this is done without the complete knowledge of the outside world, except for the parties involved.
With no midweek fixtures, everyone is aiming for the twelfth round of La Liga at the weekend.
Chinatown will host Valencia and it will be a tough battle.
The strength of the Bat Army's squad this season is not very strong, but under the tutelage of Unai Emery, the results are quite good, and this game is a visit to the Butak Stadium to challenge the younger brother Pochettino, Emery is undoubtedly also under a lot of pressure.
Both teams were carefully prepared and played cautiously at the beginning, but Chinatown was young and made mistakes early.
Valencia's right-hand Joaquín tore open the left side of Chinatown in a wide break in the 21st minute, and the cross was met by Aduris to open the scoring.
After that, the two teams completely entered a fast-paced offensive and defensive battle, China City pressed Valencia, but they were never able to pry open the goal of the Bats, until the 73rd minute of the second half, Marcos Senna's assist allowed Aubameyang to equalize the score.
In the end, the two sides played to a 1-1 draw.
Chinatown's top scorer Michu was closely guarded by Valencia in this game, and his performance was mediocre, failing to play too well, and he failed to score by the end of the game.
In the other game, Barcelona beat Villarreal 5-2 away, with Messi scoring a hat-trick and providing two assists to help Barcelona beat the home team and take the precious three points.
With three goals, Messi also successfully reversed Michu and topped the La Liga scorer list.
After leading for two or three months, Michu finally retired from the scorer list.
In the other game, Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 5-1 at home, Diego Costa and Higuain both scored twice, especially Higuain, who is constantly closing the gap between himself and Michu in the scorer list.
But for the Spanish scorer, the media and fans are also quite high, thinking that to be able to perform like this in China City, Michu has proven his strength and characteristics, and he should not be ashamed at all to lose to a superstar like Messi, but should be proud of his performance before the start of the season.
However, within Chinatown, especially Gao Han, it has been emphasized that as the season progresses, all La Liga teams will pay more and more attention to Michu's defense, which will make Michu's goals more and more difficult, so the coaching staff needs to fully consider the situation Michu is facing when formulating tactics and give help.
Pochettino has also identified this problem, especially after Michu's blockbuster, and the obvious decline in goal efficiency in recent rounds proves that La Liga teams are becoming more and more experienced in defending Michu, and if Chinatown want to keep this sharp knife sharp, they will have to make appropriate adjustments.
While Chinatown drew 1-1 at home to Valencia, Gao Han's Manchester City also travelled south to take on Fulham at the weekend after a week's rest.
This is the fourteenth round of the Premier League.
As they prepare to top of the group against AC Milan at home in midweek, Gao Han rotated for this game, with Zabaleta, who he had entrusted with the task, starting in place of Xavi Alonso, but Cristiano Ronaldo, who had a strong desire to score, continued to lead the start.
As a result, just six minutes into the opening period, Cristiano Ronaldo received an assist from Luka Modric and scored first.
In the 32nd minute, Zabaleta scored a goal to extend the score again.
Three minutes later, Adam Lallana added another goal to make it 3-0.
After the rematch in the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo scored again in the 53rd minute with an assist from Zabaleta to extend the score to 4-0.
The Portuguese have shown a frantic goalscoring streak of late, and are no match for Spain's Lionel Messi.
Sixty minutes later, Gao Han replaced a number of players, including the Portuguese superstar, for the midweek Champions League game, and Fulham also took the opportunity to launch a counter-attack, sneaking into the goal in the 70th minute.
In the end, Manchester City beat Fulham 4-1 away and won the three points again.
Journalists and fans alike are accustomed to Manchester City's goal victory, and everyone is more concerned about the goal shootout between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and who is more likely to win the first FIFA Ballon d'Or.
The two players also seem to have a faint desire to fight for this, Decibel has sounded the clarion call for goal battles in La Liga and the Premier League, Messi scored a hat-trick and provided two assists in this round, but Cristiano Ronaldo is not bad, scoring two goals and an assist, the two superstars have attracted the attention of fans around the world.

It was drizzling in Manchester and the temperature dropped very low.
AC Milan coach Allegri stood in front of the visiting team's dugout at the City Stadium, wearing thick gloves on his hands, but he still felt the chill from the bottom up, and he couldn't help but shiver.
This is the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, and it is also a do-or-die battle for AC Milan.
Everyone can see that the Rossoneri have struggled to break out of the group stage this season, and that is only a theoretical possibility, but in real life, no one wants or dares to pierce that last layer of window paper.
More than 2,000 AC Milan fans followed the team to the away stadium with only one wish, and that was to see the team show the last courage to fight Manchester City to the end, if not to beat the opponent, but at least to take away the dignity of the team.
But the reality is often brutal, just as more than 2,000 away fans were quickly drowned in a sea of tens of thousands of home fans, and AC Milan was quickly drowned in a storm of Manchester City.
Just six minutes into the game, Sanchez faced Jankulovski one-on-one on the right, and easily broke through the opponent's defense with a change of direction and acceleration, and easily passed the ball to the back post without being guarded, and the also unmarked Cristiano Ronaldo easily scored in front of the goal.
1-0, Manchester City opened the scoring!
The goal put AC Milan in an embarrassing position, and Allegri's side began to launch a frantic counter-attack, but the cunning Gao Han began to defend and counterattack, frequently seizing opportunities to threaten.
Especially in the 34th minute, it was again from Sanchez's high-speed start on the right flank, once again shaking off Jankulovski's defense, facing the quick complement of Thiago Silva, the Chilean winger shrewdly split the ball, leaving the Italian central defender behind, completely breaking down the AC Milan defense.
But this beautiful attack failed to create a threat, Sanchez sent the ball into the box, Benzema grabbed the first point, he wanted to control the ball, adjust and start again, but Nesta, although no longer in peak form, can be excellent defensive awareness, timely foot poke the ball away, ruining another attack for Manchester City.
Just four minutes later, it was another killing from the right, Sanchez failed to break through Jankulovski this time, but passed back to Mascherano, the Argentine picked up the left side of the penalty area, Cristiano Ronaldo pressed Nesta to head back to the middle, Benzema deliberately missed, and Modric behind him grabbed the ball.
The Croatian midfielder stopped the ball with his right foot and picked it up with his left foot when almost no one was defending, and it was a straight volley with a curling ball, and the ball went directly into the goal of AC Milan, 2-0!
Coming from two goals behind was a big blow to AC Milan, especially as the team's defense had considerable problems.
However, Allegri did not make a substitution at half-time, but instead completely opened up in the second half to try to score a goal, but the end result was that Manchester City repeatedly attacked the penalty area.
In the 54th minute, Sanchez suddenly entered the penalty area and was pulled down by AC Milan's midfielder Seedorf, but the referee did not award a penalty, and AC Milan escaped.
But in the 79th minute, after Modric broke the ball in the middle, David Silva instigated a counterattack, picked up a pass behind the defensive line, Benzema went to the left side to receive the ball, and used his speed to force a breakthrough through Nesta and pick up the back point.
Sanchez rushed forward on the right, grabbed the ball in front of the baseline and crossed to the middle, Cristiano Ronaldo followed up and pushed directly into the net to rewrite the score to 3-0!
The successive goals made AC Milan completely confused.
But Allegri stood on the sidelines, his mind unusually clear.
In the case of inferior skills, when he played Manchester City and Real Madrid before, he did not arrange Pirlo to play, which brought him overwhelming accusations, so he simply listened to the outside world in this game and let Pirlo, Seedorf, Gattuso, Ambrosini and Boateng and other players play at the same time, but what is the result?
Pato, a lone striker, did nothing in the whole game, and there were five players in the midfield, which seemed to be a lot of people, but in fact it had no effect at all, and the front of the penalty area could not be prevented at all.
Professional football may seem complicated, but in fact it is very simple, and it speaks for itself.
In the past, AC Milan under Carlo Ancelotti were able to play Pirlo because the team had a group of outstanding players from front to back, with players such as Gattuso, Ambrosini and Seedorf all at their peak, and stars such as Kaka, Inzaghi and Shevchenko in the front court.
But now?
By the young and immature Pato, or by the senile Gattuso, Seedorf, Jankulovsky, Nesta, etc.?
On the other hand, Manchester City on the opposite side, with superstars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Sanchez and Kaka in the front, these players don't need to do anything at all, they just need to stop on the pitch, and the opponent has to leave at least five people in the backfield to defend, and even the whole game has to be fearful.
Therefore, the alpine midfield can line up with a combination of David Silva, Luka Modric and Xavi Alonso.
But can other teams?
If there were no such individual players in the frontcourt, Gao Han could have made such a combination in the midfield?
On the court, the outcome of the match was decided, but Allegri felt an inexplicable sense of revenge in his heart.
He just wants everyone to see if it's him or AC Milan's lineup.
Of course, he also knew that if he lost this game, he would definitely be overwhelmed with accusations after the game, but he really had no choice, his skills were not as good as others, and he had done his best.
