Chapter 880

The next day, almost as expected, the world media reported last night's FIFA annual awards.

For Cristiano Ronaldo to win the first FIFA golden ball award, the media and fans generally affirmed that, after all, the Portuguese superstar's performance in the past year is really eye-catching, not only scoring goals, but also helping Manchester City win the first Premier League title in the history of the club and all the trophies.

On this honor, the weight is not lost to Messi's double.

The media also talked about the comments made by Gao Han on Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as the Portuguese's thanks to Gao Han after winning the prize. Messi also accepted the media interview after the award ceremony to express his gratitude and respect for Gao Han.

The media and fans unanimously affirmed Gao's public appeal to pay more attention to the head coach at such an important event. After all, he is now the number one head coach in the world and should take such responsibility.

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

On the flight back to Manchester from Zurich, Gao Han and Ferguson spent their time relying on a large stack of newspapers in front of them. From time to time, they commented on some comments and opinions in the newspapers, and the time passed quickly.

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

"Ah, van Persie's recent comeback is in good condition. Is it really related to the removal of wisdom teeth?" Asked Ferguson with concern.

Gao Han looks over his head and sees that he is wearing presbyopia glasses to read a news about Arsenal center Robin van Persie. Some media believe that van Persie's fierce performance after his recent recovery from injury is related to his special trip to France to remove his wisdom teeth.

As for wisdom tooth extraction, it is not uncommon in professional football. Many professional stars such as Fabregas and Seedorf have done it, mainly to avoid toothache. As for whether it really has the effect of reducing injuries, God knows.

"Come on, he pulled it in 2009. Later, you know, is it useful?"

Ferguson was dumbfounded by the cold question. In the past two years, van Persie has been injured a lot.

"I heard that this time he went to see the German doctor Wolfart. Did you recommend it?" Ferguson asked again.

Gao Han did not deny that, "Arsene and van Persie have called me, and they did find a lot of doctors, and the treatment effect is not obvious. Before, Kaka had ideal treatment effect in wolffat, so..."

Ferguson also understands this very well. It's very important for professional players to know a good sports doctor these days. Therefore, such famous doctors as walfat are the target of countless athletes.

"This boy is superior in strength. If he is not injured or ill, he may be the most lethal center in the world." Ferguson said in a low voice.

Gao Han was surprised, "are you praising him?"

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

Alpine is not suspicious of him, "it's not strange, just in case Arsene Wenger knows, he may think that the sun will come out in the West."

Ferguson and Arsene are enemies, which everyone knows. In private, although they are polite to each other, they are not on the right track. Coupled with the feud between Manchester United and Arsenal, many people feel that they are old friends.

But Gao Han knows that they just don't like each other.

It's all the same.

"You'd better worry less about Arsene Wenger and more about your Berbatov." Gao Han joked with a smile.

Berbatov has performed well this season and his condition has improved. More importantly, his contract with Manchester United is only until 2012. In order to keep his position in Manchester United, he quit the Bulgarian national team and concentrate on club events.

So far, Berbatov is one of the most outstanding players on United's front line, but Manchester United has not given a sign to renew their contract, which makes the outside world feel very curious all the time.

Some media have revealed that Ferguson is not satisfied with Berbatov, especially when Rooney, Tevez, Hernandez and other players perform well, and Welbeck and other young players play well, Berbatov has been knocked into the cold palace by Ferguson.

The reason is very simple. In some key games, it is difficult for him to help Manchester United, especially in the aspect of front court pressure, which is Ferguson's biggest criticism on him.

According to the unspoken rules of European football, Berbatov's contract should be renewed this season. If he does not renew his contract this season, it means that Manchester United are willing to sell him in the summer. Otherwise, if they renew their contract after the summer transfer period, Manchester United will be relatively passive.

So, a lot of people say that Ferguson wants to sell Berbatov, but he is interested in Dzeko who plays for Wolfsburg.

Dzeko's scoring efficiency in the Bundesliga is very high, but Wolfsburg's asking price is not low, which makes the Bosnian center never leave the Bundesliga. Many teams, including Real Madrid, are deterred from him. But if Manchester United really sell Berbatov and introduce Dzeko, it is not impossible.

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

The Bulgarian center has been joining Manchester United for nearly three years. Except this season, the first two seasons were not as good as expected, but they were bursting in the new year. This is really a dilemma.

Also because of this, so Berbatov's contract has not been renewed, presumably Ferguson's heart is also very tangled.

After returning to Manchester with a reputation from Zurich, the city were very excited.

This time can win two heavyweight FIFA awards of the year, even surprised the boss Mansour personally called to congratulate, but also encourage the team to continue to work hard.

The next day, the team went south to London to challenge West Ham.

This is the first leg of the Carling Cup semi-final.

In the last round, hammers beat Manchester United 4-0 at home and eliminated the red devils from the Carling Cup. The morale of the team was greatly boosted. Faced with Manchester City, hammers are ambitious and want to continue their state against Manchester United. Especially in this game, Gao Han continued to use the semi main team and semi substitute team.

In the first 13 minutes, hammers took advantage of their home advantage to knock on Manchester City's goal. They never gave Manchester City the chance to fight back and lock up the lead.

However, Gao Han made adjustments at half-time. After Yi Bian fought again in the second half, he quickly leveled the score. Gareth bell forced a breakthrough on the left side to create a set piece in the front court. The Welshman took the penalty personally and assisted kompani in the header.

After the equaliser, Manchester City began to fight back.

Two minutes after losing the ball, West Ham forward obina made an obvious elbow stroke to kompani when he was fighting for the header. Although he didn't hurt the Belgian centre back, he was sent off by the referee.

After the game completely into the rhythm of Manchester City, blue moon in the 78th minute, with sturrich's goal, 2-1 reversal of West Ham United, successfully won the first leg victory.

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

Manchester City's main battlefield now is no longer the league and cup, but the Champions League, so alpine and the coaching staff have decided to rotate, so that the players can get more rest and adjustment in January, in order to play better in February and the next few months.

Three days later, in the 23rd round of the Premier League, Manchester City beat wolves 4-1 at home. Cristiano Ronaldo, who had just won the first FIFA golden ball award from Zurich, scored twice, which was very eye-catching.

However, in this round, Manchester United drew 0-0 at Tottenham and Liverpool drew 2-2 at home to Everton in World War II. As a result, the league ranking of the Red Army fell directly to 13th place, and Dalglish obviously failed to stop the decline of Liverpool.

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

A week later, Manchester City took on Aston Villa.

Blue moon finally ushered in an outbreak in this round. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat trick, plus Kaka's twice goal and Sanchez's goal, leading to a 6-0 defeat of Aston Villa.

Manchester United beat Birmingham 5-0 at home, Arsenal beat Wigan 3-0 at home, and Chelsea beat Bolton 4-0 at home.

This also made all the media exclaim one after another, lamenting the strength of the top four in the Premier League. Under the condition that both sides are energetic, it is difficult for the rest of the teams to stop the slaughter of the top four.

But Liverpool this round also finally stopped the decline, away game 3:0 wins wolves, Dalglish also after this victory greatly relieved.

After playing the 24th round of the Premier League, Manchester City ushered in the second round of the Carling Cup semi-final.

In the city stadium, Gao Han continued to face the hammers with the rotation of the semi main team. In the end, he beat West Ham United 2-1 without danger, and then beat the opponent 4-2 with the total score, and successfully advanced to the final.

In another duel, Arsenal went back to the city stadium to win 3-0 in the first round of the away game, with a total score of 3-1 to meet Manchester City in the final.

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

Three days after the semi-final of the Carling Cup, Manchester City went on to play as a full substitute, beating Notts County 5-0 away to advance to the final 16 of the FA Cup.

While Manchester City played on all fronts in the Premier League, La Liga also resumed fighting in January and played five rounds.

After selling Schneiderlin at a high price, Chinatown introduced rajitic, which once made people worried. However, after the winter break, Chinatown showed amazing strength in the following five games with an impressive record of four wins and one loss in five battles.

The only defeat took place at the Bernabeu stadium against Real Madrid. China City scored the first goal in just seven minutes, with michu assisting lakitic to open the record. This is also the second appearance of the Croatian midfield team. It started for the first time and scored the goal.

But two minutes later Diego Costa equalised.

But in the 18th minute, michu received an assist from Andrea and surpassed the score again, but before the end of the first half, Higuain tied the score again.

The turning point of the game happened in the 78th minute of the second half when Diego Costa fell in a fight in the penalty area. The referee showed Marcos Senna a red card without hesitation and sent off the veteran of China city.

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

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

What's more exciting is that Croatian midfield lakitic almost joined the team seamlessly, which made the midfield strength of China city not decline at all. The record of four wins and one loss after the winter break is the best example.

However, the amazing performance of Chinatown also brought a fatal hidden danger to alpine and the team.
