Chapter 863: Entertainment to Death
In the second round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester City defeated Real Madrid 3-0 at home and topped the group.
In the other game in the same group, AC Milan drew 1-1 away at Ajax.
But to Gao Han's surprise, almost all the media around the world focused not on the game itself, but on Gao Han and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The attitude of the media is unanimous about the Portuguese's refusal to shake hands with Gao Han in person, that is, the Portuguese is very unhappy with being substituted, and he believes that he should continue to stay on the pitch.
Surprisingly, it was precisely after Cristiano Ronaldo's departure that Manchester City sounded the horn of attack, and Gareth Bale, who replaced him, scored a hat-trick, which undoubtedly formed an interesting situation, that is, is Cristiano Ronaldo still an indispensable backbone of Manchester City?
Especially after the Portuguese refused to shake hands with Gao Han, the contradiction between the two was directly exposed.
At the post-match press conference, many media reporters also paid attention to this.
Gao Han said in an interview with the media that there is no contradiction between himself and Cristiano Ronaldo, and he can understand the Portuguese feeling when he is substituted, and he highly praises Cristiano Ronaldo as a very professional player, so he has such emotions.
"I'm sure that after calming down, he will quickly realize his problem. ”
Gao Han also gave a very high evaluation of Gareth Bale's outstanding performance after he came on the field, believing that Gareth Bale is a very good and very potential player, and he perfectly executed his requirements after he came on the field.
'I don't think one game says anything, Gareth Bale is still young, he needs to play more and try to improve himself and I'm sure he has a bright future. ”
Gao Han also mentioned that Gareth Bale's outstanding performance later was inseparable from the efforts of all the players in the team, and it was the efforts of everyone, including Cristiano Ronaldo, that created Gareth Bale's outstanding performance after coming on the field, as well as this wonderful 3-0.
When asked by the media whether Cristiano Ronaldo would be punished for his disrespect, Gao Han said that the team would make a punishment in accordance with the corresponding rules and regulations, and no one would be spared.
Gao Han's words did not reveal any meaning, but only expressed his idea of managing Manchester City's dressing room fairly and impartially, but after being rendered and hyped by media reporters, the meaning obviously became different.
Many media have believed that Gao Han's remarks are obviously covering up some contradictions.
A year ago, Cristiano Ronaldo gave up the offer of Real Madrid in order to follow Alpin, which was once rumored to be a good talk, but after more than a year of cooperation, the Portuguese had to accept that he was just an ordinary member of Alpine plan, like all other teammates. ”
"Cristiano Ronaldo is very competitive, and has always had a strong personal hero complex, when he was not famous before, it was understandable to obey Gao Han's arrangement, but now that he is a top superstar in the world, he is tired of subservience to others, even Gao Han. ”
"This game is just an explosion of contradictions between the two sides, and there will be more problems to come. ”
At the same time, a number of British tabloids have also interpreted it, constantly quoting the fierce news of some so-called insiders that the reason why Gao Han introduced Gareth Bale was to allow the Welshman to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.
Judging from Gareth Bale's performance in this game, it is obvious that he has integrated into the team and has the strength to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, and Gao Han replaced Cristiano Ronaldo with Gareth Bale in the middle of the game when the team could not open the situation, and the implication is very obvious. ”
For a while, the news that Cristiano Ronaldo was no longer favored at Manchester City spread from Europe to the world, shocking all fans.
Gao Han and the Portuguese have always shown themselves as affectionate and righteous masters and apprentices, but they didn't expect the two to fall out in the end.
There are even media reports that Real Madrid have restarted their plans to bring in Cristiano Ronaldo, and said that Florentino will do whatever it takes to get the Portuguese superstar to join.
There is a Portuguese tabloid that came out of nowhere and is not known at all to disclose the so-called inside information, that is, Gao Han's conflict with Cristiano Ronaldo has been going on for a long time, but it has been suppressed.
"The media's speculation is not wrong at all, Gao Han brought in Gareth Bale to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, and everyone saw in the game that the Welshman was even better than Cristiano Ronaldo, and Gao Han has achieved his goal. ”
Cristiano Ronaldo knows this, which is why he is furious and makes his conflict with Gao Han public, which will undoubtedly end his career at Manchester City. ”
"We all know that if there is anyone in Manchester City who is indispensable, then it must be Gao Han, and now there is a fire and water between Cristiano Ronaldo and Gao Han, the two must go one, and that person will definitely be Cristiano Ronaldo. ”
'Al-Mansour has the support of everyone in the Manchester City hierarchy and Mansour is unlikely to allow his side to repeat the mistakes of Chelsea, so the Portuguese superstar will be able to leave the club as soon as next summer during the winter break. ”
Suddenly, there was a flood of news on the streets, countless exclusive inside information, and conspiracy theories about Cristiano Ronaldo and the high cold.
And the closest to Cristiano Ronaldo in rumors is undoubtedly the thirsty Real Madrid.
This was because of a quote from Jose Mourinho in his post-match press conference.
"Bringing in Cristiano Ronaldo? Of course, if you can, no team in the world can refuse such a superstar, he is a fantastic player and our doors are always open for him. ”
This was originally a polite remark from Mourinho in response to the media, and it was also intended to disgust the cold, but unexpectedly, it was interpreted by all the media after the game as a signal that Real Madrid will go all out to bring in Cristiano Ronaldo.
For such rumors, Real Madrid, which was eager to introduce Portuguese superstars, of course, will not take the initiative to refute the rumors, and even when the Spanish media interviewed a number of Real Madrid celebrities, they all said that Cristiano Ronaldo would be Real Madrid's number one target.
Manchester City's general manager, Paul Futtrey, told the media that it was impossible for City to sell Cristiano Ronaldo, "As far as I know, there is no conflict between him and the manager, and I have not received any news that he is leaving. ”
But beneath the surging conspiracy theories, Paul Futrey's explanation pales in comparison.

"Ahem. ”
Cristiano Ronaldo turned around as he heard a heavy cough from behind him, only to see Sergio Garcia standing at the door of the dressing room with a smile.
"Hi Sergio. After greeting the Portuguese, he turned around and continued to pack his things.
He was already the last person in the locker room to leave.
"Hello. Sergio Garcia swaggered in, nodding his head as he watched him pack his things as usual.
"I heard, you've been making a transfer lately?"
Cristiano Ronaldo paused, turned around, and looked at Sergio Garcia strangely, "Who told you to ask?"
Sergio Garcia raised an eyebrow, as if to say, you know.
"Heh, if he asks you to ask, then you go back and tell him, I do think about it, but if it's something you want to know, then I can answer you, it's no such thing. After saying that, Cristiano Ronaldo happily continued to pack his things.
"But he seems to be forcing you to go. Sergio Garcia had a look of fear that the world would not be chaotic.
"Oh?"
"He asked me to let you know that you are not in the squad for tomorrow's game. ”
"Huh?"
"Forgot? You've been banned internally. ”
"Oh. "Needless to say, Cristiano Ronaldo really forgot.
It was the morning after the match against Real Madrid, and the penalty notice was posted at the door of the dressing room.
According to the rules in the booklet of Gao Han, the punishment for the Portuguese was an internal ban.
"He said that you are allowed to leave the team early, go to the national team to perform well, fight for breath and, most importantly, don't lose face. ”
Cristiano Ronaldo smiled when he heard this, which was like what Gao Han would say.
The Portuguese pulled the zipper of his training backpack hard, threw it over his shoulder, and turned to look at Sergio Garcia, "Then you also tell him, don't use this old-fashioned agitation, I'll give him a few to see." ”
Sergio Garcia smiled and nodded, old-fashioned is old-fashioned, but it works.
"Oh, that's right. The Portuguese had just taken two steps before he stopped, "He asked me to suspend the game at this time, so I wasn't afraid that rumors would fly all over the place?"
"You say, will he be afraid?" asked Sergio Garcia rhetorically.
When the Portuguese thought about it, it seemed that Gao Han had never taken that group of media reporters seriously.
It can be said that except for a few friends such as Javier Matayana and Green Wald, he is not very interested in every media reporter, and if it were not for the mandatory rules of the league and UEFA to attend the pre-match and post-match press conferences, it is estimated that he would not even bother to go.
"Did he say anything else?"
"Oh, he also said that he wished you had gotten out of the house sooner and save yourself the worries. ”
Cristiano Ronaldo laughed when he heard this, beckoned to Sergio Garcia, signaled that he had received it, and he would leave immediately, never linger, leave this damn Manchester, and return to the warm spring of his homeland.
After watching Cristiano Ronaldo leave the locker room and walk away in the direction of the parking lot, Sergio Garcia sighed deeply and was amazed.
"Sometimes, I really don't understand why you people are so cautious?"
"Obviously there is nothing wrong with each other, and they are so adults again, but they are still as vindictive as a child, and they don't want to think about being dozens of years old, is this fun?"
What's even funnier is that the group of media reporters outside is too good at talking, it's obviously a shadowless thing, but it can be spread as if you saw it with your own eyes, what's even funnier is that there are really so many people who believe it. ”
"What an age of entertainment to death!"
