Chapter 683: The number one goal of the winter window

During the Christmas Express season, it's normal for teams to have ups and downs.

In fact, Gobo didn't expect his team to win all of his team in such a three-day rhythm of one game, he was just aiming to score more points than Manchester United or Chelsea.

And after the game, the media did not consider Manchester City's only one draw away from home to be a failure, because judging from Manchester City's late equaliser, it is already very lucky to get a draw.

As for their rivals, United won at home with a 2-0 win over West Bromwich Albion.

However, Chelsea were not so lucky, as they faced Everton away in this round of the league and were beaten by Jose Mourinho's side at Goodison Park!

The score was 0-0 until the 93rd minute, when a cross from the wing by Baines was cut in by midfielder Fellaini the head of the box and smashed past the Petr Cech with a thunderous header! 1-0, Everton beat Chelsea at home.

As a result, the standings have changed again after this round of league play.

Manchester City remain at the top of the table, while Manchester United have overtaken Chelsea and are two points behind in second place, with Chelsea remaining unchanged on points, four points behind Manchester City and two behind Manchester United, slipping down to third.

In this season's Premier League, it seems that the championship group is these three teams.

......

The day after returning from the away game, Gao Bo received a visitor in his office.

This man was Balotelli's agent, Raiola.

Raiola sat across from Gao Bo, his back against the back of the chair, a mass of flesh squeezing the cramped chair, making Gao Bo wonder if the club was going to lose a chair after this conversation.....

Raiola had come to communicate with Gobo on behalf of Balotelli.

"There's no doubt that Mario is a talented player and he deserves more playing time, otherwise the team that wants to get him is still in line!"

Raiola nostrils turned to the sky, and she looked arrogant.

This is his negotiation strategy, which is designed to cause his negotiators to have mood swings before he can do it.

Raiola, the expert negotiator, has tried and tested his routine.

However, Gao Bo didn't have any mood swings, and even wanted to laugh.

The fat man doesn't seem to be able to figure out the situation yet.

Balotelli basically didn't get any playing opportunities this season, and after Gao Bo rectified Yaya Toure, Balotelli was much more honest - this guy is skinny, but he is not as stupid as the outside world expected, in fact, Balotelli's IQ is not low.....

So during this time, Balotelli was honestly training with the team and occasionally got some rallies for substitutes.

The FA Cup is just around the corner, and the substitutes will be able to get more chances.

But it looks like his agent, Mr. Raiola, can't wait.

"Meet our offer, Mario can transfer away!"

Gao Bo raised his hand and looked at his watch and said.

He didn't have time to spend here with this agent.

Raiola wants to play the game of negotiation, but Gao Bo directly overturns the negotiation table.

If you love to go, you can leave, and if you love to stay, you will stay.

In the winter transfer window, Gao Bo also needs to bring in some players to make up for the team's current personnel shortage, but mainly in the midfield, in terms of strikers, Gao Bo has other plans.

......

Raiola walked out of City's training base with a somber face.

His expression naturally made the reporters squatting at the gate of the base take a clear picture.

Did Gao Bo really not want to use Balotelli at all?

Raiola began to waver in his previous judgment.

He previously thought that Manchester City only had three strikers, and Dzeko was a high school striker, judging from Gao Bo's past habits, he liked to stock up on a high school striker in the team, but only used as a substitute.

The other striker is Jamie Vardy, who is a descendant of Gobo.

But ability is Vardy's flaw, and there's no denying that Vardy works hard and shoots well, so he can use it as a pure shooter. But there wasn't much Vardy could do other than the first time.

In this way, activating Balotelli is a very rational option for Gao Bo.

Balotelli has the body, the speed, the technique, and the shooting skills are not as bad as Vardy!

The most important thing is that Balotelli is still young!!

Such a striker, under normal thinking, is not something that a manager will give up easily.

But this meeting with Gao Bo made Raiola waver.

Because he felt that Gao Bo really didn't care about Balotelli at all, and in his eyes, Balotelli was a dispensable character.......

Raiola took a deep breath, it seemed that he was really going to find a home for Balotelli.

I don't know if this Italian bad boy can kick it out.... For the first time, Raiola became suspicious of his vision.

Because Gao Bo is recognized as the coach who is best at promoting talented young players....

.......

If you are a manager who is not familiar with Balotelli's subsequent development, it is really difficult to give up such a talented player.

But this does not include high waves.

After categorically rejecting Raiola's request to give Balotelli more playing time, Gobo took a look at his plans for the winter transfer window.

The first player to bring in is.... De Bruyne!

However, Gao Bo is not very confident in the introduction of De Bruyne, but now that the winter transfer window has not opened, the team can test it first.

After handing over the matter to the department in charge of transfer negotiations, Gao Bo continued with the team in the league.

On December 30, in the 21st round of the league, the team faced Stoke City at home.

Manchester City's combat effectiveness at home is certainly guaranteed!

Stoke City didn't get much of a chance and were beaten by Manchester City's crisp 3-0!

After this race, the whole year of 2012 is over.

The team's next game is a week later, in the third round of the FA Cup, and the team is drawn against Watford.

.....

While the team was training intensively, Gao Bo also received feedback from the transfer department.

The introduction of De Bruyne is out of play for the time being.

On the one hand, Chelsea are reluctant to sell Kevin De Bruyne, although they have only loaned De Bruyne to Wolfsburg for now, and Jose Mourinho does not want to use the Belgian midfielder for the time being.

On the other hand, De Bruyne does not want to leave Chelsea, and now De Bruyne still wants to return to Chelsea to prove himself, so the player himself has also rejected Manchester City's invitation.

Gao Bo smiled.

De Bruyne doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin, Mourinho won't like his type of midfielder, if Chelsea's manager is someone else, De Bruyne may have a chance, but he ran into Mourinho....

"That's what about De Bruyne, what about the rest?"

Gao Bo turned to the next page of the document and asked Galasi, the head of the team's transfer negotiations.

"On Fernandinho's side, Shakhtar have accepted our offer, and now we only have the players left, and it is expected that within two weeks, we will be able to handle this matter!"

Galassi said.

Gao Bo nodded.

The introduction of Fernandinho in the winter transfer window was finalized a month ago, waiting for the winter window to open and complete the transfer.

"We need to bring in a midfielder!"

Gao Bo thought for a while, he still felt that the midfield was a little weak, and in the second half of the season, if the team had an injury or something, the depth of the squad would bottom out.

He looked at the list of recommendations from the transfer department.

It's rare for him to be directly involved in this area these days, and City have a dedicated department to take care of it.

From scouting to negotiation contacts, there are professional people.

And what Gao Bo has to do is just make a final decision.

Unless it is a particularly key player, the general transfer operation, especially the transfer operation that does not involve the first team, Gao Bo will rarely ask directly.

He looked at the recommended list, and there were many good players in it, but they were still far from Gao Bo's requirements.

He thought for a moment, then looked up.

"I've got someone in mind!!"

Gao Bo stood up, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

He felt he had found a way to improve his team's ability to play tough games right away!

The biggest problem with Manchester City right now is that they are too young, and there is often impatience or panic on the pitch.

If it weren't for the consistency of a few veterans at the back, the team would have been in danger many times.

He needs a veteran with experience up front!

"Kaka !!"

Gao Bo didn't wait for his subordinates to answer, so he spoke!

"That's right!! That's him!!! ”

Gao Bo clapper is finalized!
