Chapter 866

Manchester City shocked the world with an 8-1 home victory over Arsenal, which was followed by overwhelming praise.

But inside the team, Gao Han, as always, affirmed the team's performance, but also poured cold water on it. He didn't want his team to be lost by such an accidental epic victory.

Yes, Manchester City are better than Arsenal, but definitely not so strong.

Three days later, Gao Han came out as a full substitute in the final 16 of the Carling Cup. His opponent was Leicester City in the relegation zone of the Champions League, while Manchester City easily won 4-1 away to advance to the next round.

In the 10th round of the Premier League, Manchester City challenge wolves away.

In less than a minute, Benzema's goal helped Manchester City to take the lead.

After that, the two teams attacked and defended each other. On the whole, Manchester City still had the advantage. Until the second half, Benzema's goal helped Manchester City beat wolves 2-0.

In November, Manchester City's first game is the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, with Ajax at home.

In the first three rounds of victory, Manchester City is the death of the group to break through the number one favorite, this game against Ajax, the team played a bit lax, the opening nine minutes by Harvey Alonso scoring, but later did not find the feeling of the game.

In the second half, Suarez even seized an opportunity to steal a goal. The assistant was Ajax young midfield player Eriksson. It is worth mentioning that the two players were recommended by Gao to Mendes.

After Ajax leveled the score, city woke up and launched a crazy counterattack. It was not until the end of the game that Kaka scored a goal and locked the score at 2-1.

In the end, with a difficult victory, Manchester City beat Ajax and won four games in a row.

But Gao was furious in the dressing room after the game. He told the players how careless they were in the game, especially after taking the lead. As a result, he was taught a lesson by Suarez.

"This is the Champions League, any slightest relaxation can lead to your doom

"Again, I just want players who are focused on the game!"

Everyone was completely frightened by the thunder of the high cold. No one thought that the high cold would be so angry.

But only Gao himself knows that this is the first time he has used his skill card this season. Otherwise, the team will end in a draw, which will be the first draw in his career.

Fortunately, the last-minute skill card played a key role, especially in the last ten minutes, which launched a crazy counterattack and finally helped Manchester City win the opponent and survive.

But Gao Han was not happy at all, but angry, because the skill card didn't need to be used.

Another group game with Manchester City, Real Madrid away against AC Milan, the two teams play inseparable.

Allegri is very clear that if he loses this game again, his team will be eliminated from the group stage of the Champions League ahead of time, so AC Milan play very tenacious, and Real Madrid launch strong attacks repeatedly.

The two sides fought hard to make up time in the first half, DiMaria assists Higuain to score and help Real Madrid take the lead.

But not long after the second half, Inzaghi leveled the score and both sides returned to the same starting line.

Not only that, in the 78th minute, Gattuso assists, Inzaghi next city, the score reversed.

This makes AC Milan up and down are extremely excited, Real Madrid is into a crazy counter attack.

Jose's team almost played against AC Milan until the end of the game, when Diego Costa assisted Pedro Leon to level in the third minute of stoppage time.

In the end, the two giants tied by two to World War II.

At the end of this round, the ranking of the group remained unchanged. Manchester City ranked first with 12 points for four consecutive wins, Real Madrid ranked second with seven points for two wins, one draw and one loss, AC Milan ranked third with two draws and two losses and Ajax ranked fourth with one point for one draw and three losses.

From the point of view, Manchester City has no doubt qualified ahead of time, the difference is only whether the group leader or not, Real Madrid also basically qualified, but AC Milan still have the possibility of theoretical reversal, but it is very difficult.

Because AC Milan will challenge Manchester City and Real Madrid will challenge Ajax, I believe fans who have watched the previous rounds of the group will not be optimistic about AC Milan.

As for Ajax, the only hope is to compete with the Rossoneri for the third place in the group and participate in the Europa League.

For this Dutch team, Gao has always felt a pity, because their strength is not weak, whether it is Suarez, Eriksson, or other players, have obvious strength.

It's a pity that AJAX is in the same group as Manchester City, Real Madrid and AC Milan. If they are in other groups, the Dutch team may not have the hope to compete for the qualification.

Three days after finishing the Champions League group stage, Manchester City beat West Bromwich 2-0 away.

It's the 11th round of the Premier League.

However, the most eye-catching game in this round is at Anfield. Liverpool, who have no task in the Champions League this season, beat visiting Chelsea 2-0 and hit Scolari's team head-on again.

The blues also won the Champions League group match all the way, winning four consecutive games ahead of the top of the group. However, facing the leisurely Liverpool, the blues were obviously unprepared and had to leave Anfield with regret.

However, Liverpool were not happy for long. Hodgson's team soon drew 1-1 with Wigan Athletic in the 12th round of the Premier League in the middle of the week, and their newly promoted ranking fell again.

City are in this round ushered in the Manchester Derby.

Ferguson's Manchester United have performed well recently, winning the Champions League and the League all the way. However, the Red Devils failed to continue their excellent performance against Manchester City. After half an hour of hard support, Manchester City scored two goals in five minutes and Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice.

After Yi Bian fought again in the second half, the Portuguese scored again, scored a hat trick and took the lead of three goals.

At the end of the game, Manchester United scored a face saving goal from Javier Hernandez.

After the game, Ferguson also felt very depressed about the defeat, saying that Cristiano Ronaldo decided the outcome of the game by himself. Manchester City deserved to win. At the same time, he also believed that the Portuguese should get the FIFA golden ball award.

"His ability to score has repeatedly shocked me

Not only Ferguson, but also all the media all over the world have praised Cristiano Ronaldo's state, believing that the Portuguese's performance in the past year is worthy of the title of the first person in football and deserves the honor of the FIFA golden ball award.

Gao also told the media that Cristiano Ronaldo's performance this season is phenomenal.

"What I want to say is that it's not the best of him yet, but he's good enough."

In addition to the cold, Manchester City's teammates have come out to support Cristiano Ronaldo.

"With him, our task in the game becomes very simple, that is to pass the ball to him and he can score David Silva, the team's number one assists, said with a smile.

Kaka also praised the teammate and best friend, "I rarely compliment a person like this, but I would like to say that he is one of the greatest football stars in today's football and the best player in the past year. I think he should be recognized."

Captain Harvey Alonso also high-profile said, "I can't imagine, in addition to Cristiano, who is more worthy of this honor, he has won almost everything in the past year, but it's a pity that we didn't participate in the Champions League, otherwise, the Champions League will also belong to us, belong to Cristiano."

In addition to Manchester City, including the coach of the Portuguese national team, the famous players in Portugal, and so on, more than half of the European football world is building momentum for Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, the media in Catalonia generally support Messi and think that Messi is more convincing in terms of championship honor, especially Barcelona's Champions League and league double. According to the previous winning practice, Messi should be elected.

Moreover, since this season, Messi's performance is not bad.

The media and fans are generally controversial about whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi.

But the war in the European League continues.

What's even more unexpected is that at the weekend, Manchester City met Birmingham City in the 13th round of the Premier League at home. Cristiano Ronaldo got an assist from Harvey Martinez in just two minutes to score.

And the first 31 minutes, the Portuguese received Benzema's assists, and then the next city, the score expanded to 2-0.

Before the end of the first half, Benzema helped Sanchez to score again and changed the score to 3-0.

Three goals win, let Manchester City up and down are incomparably excited, the second half attack continued.

In the 53rd minute, Sanchez forcibly started from the right side, then led the ball into the penalty area and helped to the left side. Cristiano Ronaldo put in and scored again.

The whole city stadium is completely crazy!

After two consecutive hat tricks, the Portuguese superstar rushed to the live TV cameras and poked himself at the fans all over the world, as if to say, besides me, who deserves the FIFA golden ball award?

In the end, Manchester City beat Birmingham 5-0 and the Portuguese scored a hat trick for two consecutive rounds.

Cristiano Ronaldo's frenzied goal scoring style completely set off the golden ball competition.

On the second day after the end of this round, FIFA also announced that the top three players in the golden ball award list were Messi and Iniesta, who played for Barcelona, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who played for Manchester City.

There is not much suspense about the candidates of the top three. The only curious thing is who will become the final winner and the first player to win the FIFA golden ball award in football history.

What is more noteworthy is that this time FIFA specially added the best coach award to reward the coach who has made outstanding achievements in the past year. The selection scope includes not only the national team coach, but also the club coach.

Gao Han, Barcelona coach Guardiola and Spanish national team coach Bosque have been included in the list.

FIFA also announced that the grand event will be held in Zurich in mid January.

Who can stand out from many awards will not be revealed until that night.

But on the night of FIFA's announcement of the candidate list, China City, as far away as Spain, suffered its first defeat of the new season, and it was a complete fiasco.
