The next day, the world's media almost unsurprisingly reported on last night's FIFA annual awards extravaganza.

For Cristiano Ronaldo to win the inaugural FIFA Ballon d'Or, the media and fans are generally positive, after all, the Portuguese superstar has indeed been quite eye-catching in the past year, not only scoring a flood of goals, but also helping Manchester City win the first Premier League title in the club's history, and collect all the trophies.

For this honor, the weight is not lost to Messi's double champion at all.

The media also talked about Gao Han's comments on Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as the Portuguese's thanks to Gao Han after winning the award.

For Gao Han's public call to increase the importance of the head coach at such an important event, it has also been unanimously affirmed by the media and fans, after all, he is now the world's No. 1 head coach, and he should take such a responsibility.

After the award ceremony, FIFA hosted a banquet for all the guests invited to the event, and booked their return tickets in advance, and for guests such as Gao Han, Alex Ferguson and Cristiano Ronaldo, who could not return that night, they took the initiative to arrange for the best hotels in Zurich and book an early flight the next day.

On the flight back to Manchester from Zurich, Gao Han and Ferguson relied on a large stack of newspapers in front of them to pass the time, and from time to time they made some comments on certain comments and opinions in the newspapers, and the time passed quite quickly.

Soon, Ferguson was captivated by a piece of news in the newspaper.

"Eh, Van Persie has recently made a comeback and is in good shape, is it really related to the removal of wisdom teeth?" Ferguson asked with concern.

Gao Han poked his head and saw that he was wearing reading glasses to read a news about Arsenal center Van Persie, and some media believed that Van Persie's vigorous performance after returning from injury recently was related to his special trip to France to extract wisdom teeth.

As for wisdom tooth extraction, it is actually not uncommon in professional football, many professional stars such as Cesc Fabregas and Seedorf have had it extracted, mainly to avoid toothaches, as for whether it really has the effect of reducing injuries, God knows.

"Please, he pulled it out in 2009, and then you know, is it useful?"

Gao Han's rhetorical question made Ferguson laugh dumbly, judging from the past two years, Van Persie has not been injured.

"I heard that this time he went to the German miracle doctor Walfatht, did you help recommend it?" Ferguson asked again.

Gao Han did not deny it, "Wenger and Van Persie both called me, and they did find a lot of doctors, and the treatment effect was not obvious, and Kaka had a good treatment effect on Vorfath's side before, so ......"

Ferguson also understands this very well, knowing a good sports doctor is very important for professional players in these years, so a miracle doctor with a good reputation like Walfaert is the object of countless athletes' friendship.

"This kid is outstanding, and if he hadn't been injured or sick, he might have been the most lethal center forward in the world. Ferguson whispered casually.

Gao Han was a little surprised, "You're actually praising him?"

"What's so strange?" Ferguson's eyes flickered.

Gao Han didn't doubt him, "It's not strange, it's just that if Wenger knows, maybe he will think that the sun is coming out in the west." ”

Ferguson and Wenger are rivals, this is known to everyone, in private, although the two are also polite to each other, but they are not on the right path, coupled with the feud between Manchester United and Arsenal, so that many people feel that the two are old and dead.

But Gao Han knew that they just didn't like each other very well.

So it is, every man for his own master.

"You, it's better to worry less about Wenger and more about Berbatov. Gao Han teased with a smile.

Berbatov has been in good form this season, improving his form and more importantly, his contract with Manchester United is only until 2012, and he has withdrawn from the Bulgarian national team to concentrate on club football in order to retain his place at Manchester United.

Berbatov has been one of United's best performers up front so far, but the Reds have been slow to signal a contract extension, which has always been a source of curiosity.

Some media revealed that Ferguson was not satisfied with Berbatov, especially when players such as Rooney, Tevez, and Hernandez performed well, and youngsters such as Welbeck played well, Berbatov was even beaten into the cold by Ferguson.

The reason is simple, he has struggled to help United in some key games, especially in terms of pressing up front, which is Ferguson's biggest criticism of him.

According to the unspoken rules of European football, this season should be the year of Berbatov's contract extension, if he does not renew his contract this season, it means that Manchester United has the intention to sell him in the summer, otherwise, wait for the summer transfer period to renew the contract, then Manchester United will be relatively passive.

Therefore, many people say that Ferguson wants to sell Berbatov, and he is interested in Dzeko, who plays for Wolfsburg.

Dzeko's goal efficiency in the Bundesliga is very high, but Wolfsburg's asking price is not low, which has made the Bosnian center forward never leave the Bundesliga, and many teams, including Real Madrid, have turned away from him, but if Manchester United do sell Berbatov and bring in Dzeko, it is not completely impossible.

As soon as Gao Han mentioned Berbatov, Ferguson's face was obviously not good-looking.

The Bulgarian centre-forward has been with Manchester United for almost three years, and the first two seasons were not satisfactory except for this season, but he is in full form in the contract extension year, which is really a dilemma.

Because of this, Berbatov's contract renewal has not been followed for a long time, and Ferguson's heart must be very entangled.

…………

After returning to Manchester from Zurich, the city were thrilled.

This time, he was able to win two heavyweight FIFA annual awards, and even alarmed the owner Mansour to call to congratulate him, and at the same time encouraged the team to continue to work hard.

The next day, the team travelled south to London to take on West Ham United.

It was the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-finals.

In the last round, the Hammers beat Manchester United 4-0 at home, knocking out the Red Devils out of the League Cup, and the morale of the team can be described as a big boost.

In just thirteen minutes of the opening game, the Hammers took advantage of their home advantage to knock on Manchester City's goal first, and never gave Manchester City a chance to fight back, locking the lead.

However, at half-time, Gao Han made an adjustment, and after a rematch in the second half, he quickly equalised, Gareth Bale forced a break down the left to create a set-piece in front, and the Welshman took the penalty himself and set up Kompany's header.

After the equaliser, City began to fight back aggressively.

West Ham striker Obieena was sent off by the referee for a red card after a clear elbow to Kompany during a scramble for a header two minutes after conceding the goal.

After that, the game completely entered the rhythm of Manchester City, and the Blue Moon won the first leg in the 78th minute, thanks to Sturridge's goal, 2-1 against West Ham United.

After returning to Manchester from London, Gao Han continued to rotate the team.

Manchester City's main arena is no longer the league and cup competitions, but the Champions League, so both Gao Han and the coaching staff have decided to rotate the players to get more rest and adjustment in January in order to perform better in February and in the months to come.

Three days later, in the 23rd round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Wolves 4-1 at home, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who had just won the first FIFA Ballon d'Or from Zurich, scored a brace and performed very eye-catching.

But in this round, Manchester United drew 0-0 with Tottenham Hotspur away, Liverpool drew 2-2 at home to Everton, and the Reds' league ranking fell directly to thirteenth, and Dalglish obviously failed to stop Liverpool's decline.

After the 23rd round of the league, the Premier League ushered in a week of rest.

A week later, Manchester City travelled to Aston Villa.

After recuperating their batteries, the Blue Moon finally ushered in another explosion in this round, Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick, coupled with Kaka's brace and Sanchez's goal, beat Aston Villa 6-0 away.

Manchester United beat Birmingham City 5-0 at home, Arsenal beat Wigan Athletic 3-0 at home and Chelsea beat Bolton Wanderers 4-0 away to win all of the Premier League.

This also made all the media exclaim, lamenting the strength of the Premier League's top four, and with both sides recuperating each other, it would be difficult for the rest of the teams to stop the slaughter of the top four.

Liverpool finally stopped the decline in this round, beating Wolves 3-0 away, and Dalglish was greatly relieved after this victory.

After the 24th round of the Premier League, Manchester City ushered in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-finals.

At the City Stadium, Gao Han continued to face the Hammers with a rotating semi-main lineup, and finally defeated West Ham United 2-1, and then defeated the opponent 4-2 on aggregate to advance to the final.

In the other matchup, Arsenal lost 0-1 away in the first round, returned to the City Stadium to win 3-0 without any danger, and finally met Manchester City with a total score of 3-1.

The final will be scheduled at Wembley Stadium at the end of February.

Three days after the Carabao Cup semi-finals, Manchester City came back on the bench to beat Notts County 5-0 away and progress to the FA Cup round of 16.

While Manchester City are competing on all fronts of the Premier League, La Liga also resumed in January with five rounds of fixtures.

Chinatown's sale of Schneiderlin at a high price and the introduction of Rakitic were a cause for concern, but after the winter break, Chinatown showed impressive strength in the next five games with an impressive record of four wins and one defeat in five games.

The only defeat came at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid, where China City opened the scoring after just seven minutes, with Michu setting up Rakitic to open the scoring, and it was also the second appearance for the Croatian midfielder, starting the first and scoring as a result.

But two minutes later Diego Costa equalised.

However, in the eighteenth minute, Michu received an assist from Andre Herrera to put the score above again, but Higuain leveled the score again before the end of the first half.

The turning point of the game came in the 78th minute of the second half, when Diego Costa fell in a scramble in the penalty area, and the referee did not hesitate to show Marcos Senna a red card and send the Chinatown veteran off the field.

After that, Chinatown was defeated like a mountain, and was defeated by the opponent in two consecutive cities, and finally lost 2-4 away.

But after this game, Chinatown won the affirmation of the media and fans.

What's even more exciting is that Croatian midfielder Rakitic has almost seamlessly entered the team, so that Chinatown's midfield quality has not dropped in the slightest, as evidenced by the record of four wins and one defeat after the winter break.

However, Chinatown's amazing performance also brought a fatal hidden danger to Gao Han and the team.
