From the warmth of Madrid to the humidity of Manchester, Xavi Alonso felt uncomfortable.

But he believes that slowly, he will get used to it.

It's like when he traveled south from San Sebastian in northern Spain to Madrid.

He has always felt that he is a very adaptable person, and he has a sense of being at ease with what happens.

Manchester City have rented a luxury suite at the Radisson Blu Edwardian Hotel for all of their new signings, just below the presidential suite of manager Gao Han, and they are all starting to look for a house.

He, Cristiano Ronaldo, David Silva, Peter Cech, Kaka and Javi Martinez have all made an appointment to find a house in the Golden Triangle of Cheshire and live near the alpine area.

It's not that they all have to slap the manager's ass, but the area is really good.

Otherwise, how could Ferguson and his stars live there?

Paul Futrey has a special person to contact them, and Javi Alonso's requirements are simple, relaxed and comfortable, he likes to read, so it is necessary to have a large study, preferably a sunroom.

Manchester belongs to the kind of rainy and humid weather, sunlight is a scarce resource, and there is such a sun room will not be wasted.

To be honest, he was very new to Manchester and the Premier League, but he was not afraid at all.

Head coach Gao Han has given him more confidence than ever before, and at the same time, he is particularly excited to be able to compete with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka again.

Gao Han once told him that playing at Manchester City would be more challenging than at Atletico Madrid.

He was eager to take on such a challenge.

In his opinion, life is more meaningful when he constantly accepts challenges.

…………

…………

Gao Han had just boiled the water and made tea, and as he basked in the cozy atmosphere of the tea filling the room, Xavi Alonso stood outside the door and knocked on it.

It was Gao Han who called him last night and asked him to come to the office early.

"Come in. Gao Han lazily opened his eyes and looked out the door with a smile.

As soon as Xavi Alonso entered the door, he immediately smelled the tea and grinned.

"Boss, it's been a few years, and this habit hasn't changed. ”

He still remembers that as early as when he was at Atletico Madrid, Gao Han was also like now, and he had to have a pot of tea every morning, according to him, if he didn't drink this tea, he would have no energy all day long, and he would feel uncomfortable.

"It's changed. Gao Han smiled and pointed to the sofa next to him and asked him to sit down, "This taste is getting more and more tricky, and the tea is getting more and more expensive. ”

Xavi Alonso, of course, knew that the Boss was joking, "Boss, if you want to drink bankrupt, your belly must at least be the Pacific Ocean." ”

Gao Han was instantly amused.

Xavi Alonso, he likes it very much, he is diligent on the pitch, his execution is very high, he is very quick to appreciate the manager's intentions, and his understanding of the game is also very strong.

He doesn't smoke, drink, or gamble, and there are hardly any bad things about him.

For many players, the precepts of professional footballing are restrictive and make them uncomfortable, but for Xavi Alonso, it is a matter of contentment, and he wishes that everyone in the world would be like this.

Gao Han looked at Xavi Alonso with a smile, and the Spaniard felt a little strange and uncomfortable.

"I asked you to come over early this time because I want to tell you something. ”

"Boss, if you have something, just say it. "Xavi Alonso has the boldness and righteousness of a Basque in his blood.

"The team has just been reorganized, and I can do a lot of things, and even I can make decisions for you, but there is one thing I have to ask for your opinion first. ”

Seeing Gao Han so serious, Harvey Alonso was suddenly serious, "What's the matter?"

'Richard Dunn has been captain for three years at Manchester City and he's been a mainstay at the back, but it's going to be hard to get into a position for the new season, so we need a new captain. ”

After hearing this, Xavi Alonso suddenly realized, "I think that among the players left by Manchester City, whether it is Kompany or Sturridge, they are still relatively young and immature, and they are not enough, and Zabaleta and Bridge are less qualified, so I am afraid they are not very suitable." ”

"That's what we think too. Gao Han nodded.

Vincent Kompany is a player he is very optimistic about, having had his eyes on him since he was in charge of Bayern Munich, but he has always felt that the Belgian midfielder is not very suitable for playing as a central midfielder and should drop back to avoid his weaknesses.

The Belgian became famous as a teenager, with the sharpness of a young man, and is very motivated, but unfortunately he is too young to control the scene.

"Kaka can control the scene, but he is too good to fight with others, and I'm afraid he is not suitable to be the captain. ”

"That's right. Gao Han smiled.

Kaka has a good personality and treats people kindly, which is his advantage, but if he is the captain of a team, it is not bad to be kind to others, but the key is that many times the captain has to do something that offends people, which Kaka can't do.

And at critical moments, Kaka lacks a domineering spirit and is difficult to drive his teammates.

"I think Cristiano would be a good candidate. Xavi Alonso suggested.

As the world footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo's qualifications and cards are enough, although he is a newcomer, he can definitely control the scene and manage the locker room, I believe that if he is selected, all the other players will be convinced.

But the crux of the matter is that Gao Han has concerns about Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese was brought out by him, and Gao Han knew himself better than any manager.

There is no doubt that he is domineering, very aggressive, and has a strong desire to win, all of which are vividly reflected in him, and he is very good at socializing with his teammates, being outgoing, and very self-disciplined in his life and rest.

It can be said that he will be a very good captain.

But his personality is easy to become impatient, too greedy, and somewhat individualistic, if he is just the number one superstar in the team, then of course it doesn't matter, the captain can still check him, but if he is the captain, then who can check him?

So, Gao Han thinks that Cristiano Ronaldo will be a very good captain, but certainly not now, because he is not mature enough.

Gao Han was silent, and Xavi Alonso knew that he was not right, and smiled bitterly.

"Boss, you can directly choose a few candidates. ”

It's not easy to choose a captain, especially since the player's perspective is different from the manager's perspective, it's hard to say.

Gao Han waited for his words, and smiled, "I have only one candidate." ”

"Only one?" Harvey Alonso was a little surprised, especially when he saw Gao Han staring at him with a smile, as if it was a gray wolf staring at the Pleasant Goat, he had an ominous premonition in his heart, pointing at Gao Han, "You ......"

"Yes, that's you. ”

"No, I can't. Without thinking, Xavi Alonso objected, "I can't. ”

"Why not?"

"I'm not fit to be a captain. ”

"How do you know it's not suitable if you haven't tried it?"

"You don't have to try to know I can't. ”

"If you're a man, you can't say no. ”

Xavi Alonso was directly forced into a corner, he himself knows very well that the captain's job seems to be glorious, but in fact, he has a lot of responsibilities and a lot of trouble, isn't this asking for trouble for himself?

"Boss, to be honest, how do you think I can be captain?" the Spaniard asked with a wry smile.

He asked himself that he didn't pat the boss's ass, let alone show the slightest thought of being a captain, why did the boss think he could do it?

Gao Han smiled after hearing this, nodded and said, "Yes, many of them feel very strange about my choice, even Sergio Garcia joked, did I take your money." ”

Xavi Alonso smiled bitterly, heaven and earth conscience, he absolutely did not pay bribes.

"There are several main reasons why I chose this way. ”

"First of all, you are the playmaker of the team, and in this environment of the team, you are the best able to understand and appreciate my tactical intentions, and that's what I need the captain to do, to be the manager of the team on the pitch. ”

Xavi Alonso nodded, "But Modric can too." ”

"That's right. Gao Han nodded, Modric can indeed do, "But the second point, I need someone who can communicate well with the superstars in the team, and can check and balance them at critical moments and make them obey, which Modric can't do." ”

Xavi Alonso thought about it and had to nod regretfully.

As for the second point of alf, there are only a handful of players in the Manchester City team who can do it.

Not to mention other players, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, the two superstars, are uncomfortable enough, and many players in the team are difficult to equalize with them, let alone check and balance them.

If you want to be able to balance the two of them, Xavi Alonso and Petr Cech can do it, for the simple reason that they were brought out by the cold from Atletico Madrid, and the friendship that was established when they met in the last days is often particularly deep.

And in the Atletico Madrid team back then, both of them were more senior than Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, but they benefited from being attacking players in the frontcourt, so they are now more famous.

Of the two, to meet the first and second conditions, Xavi Alonso is the best candidate.

"But...... Boss, my personality ...... Square peg. The Spaniards immediately cried out.

He really didn't want to be the captain of this team, it was too frustrating.

"Your character?" Gao Han nodded, "After listening to my first two requests, many people also think that your personality is too gentle and unsuitable to be the captain, but I think all of them have been deceived by you." ”

Xavi Alonso almost stopped crying, who did I lie to me?

"In your blood, there is a spirit of not admitting defeat, you look weak on the outside, but in fact you are very strong, you seem to be lazy, but at critical moments you are more reliable than anyone else, your sense of responsibility and the spirit of daring to take responsibility are enough to make you qualified for this captain. ”

After hearing this, Xavi Alonso didn't know why, but suddenly he had a sour nose and the urge to cry.

He found out that Gao Han knew him so well, better than anyone else, maybe even more than himself.

Gao Han looked at Xavi Alonso's expression and knew that he had stabbed him in the heart, this was a tough guy who was soft on the outside and tough on the inside.

"Trust me, Harvey, you're the captain. ”

With all that said, Xavi Alonso knows he's up to the task.

Since you can't push it off, let's do it!

And his character is that he either doesn't do it, or if he wants to do it, he must do it to the best, so he immediately began to talk to Gao Han about some things that need to be paid attention to as a captain.

Until Sergio Garcia suddenly knocked on the door of Gao Han's office, rushed in in a hurry, and handed Gao Han a copy of the materials in a sweat.

"Big problem, you hurry up and take a look. ”
