Super Marshal

Chapter 867: No. 1 in football

An eight-to-one home victory over Arsenal shocked Manchester City, and it was followed by overwhelming praise.

But within the team, Gao Han, as always, affirmed the team's performance, but also poured cold water, he does not want his team to be lost by such an epic victory with chance.

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

Three days later, in the League Cup round of sixteen knockouts, Alpine played with a full bench lineup. The opponent was the Leicester City team in the relegation zone of the English Champions League. Manchester City easily won four to one away and successfully advanced to the next round. .

In the tenth round of the Premier League, Manchester City challenged Wolves away.

Less than a minute after the opening, Benzema's goal helped Manchester City take the lead.

After the two teams attacked and defended each other, Manchester City still had the advantage as a whole. It was Benzema's goal until the second half of stoppage time, which helped Manchester City defeat Wolves by 2-0.

Entering November, Manchester City's first game was the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, against Ajax at home.

After winning the first three rounds, Manchester City was the number one favorite to break out of this group of deaths. In this scene, the team played a little lax against Ajax. After nine minutes of the opening, Harvey Alonso scored the goal. , But after a long time did not find the feeling of the game.

In the second half, Suarez even took a chance and scored a sneak attack. The assist was Ajax's young midfielder Eriksson. It is worth mentioning that these two players are highly recommended by Gao Han. For Mendes.

After being tragically equalized by Ajax, Manchester City then came to a sense of clarity and launched a frantic counterattack. Kaka scored a goal until the end of the game, locking the score at two to one.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Ajax with a difficult victory and won four consecutive victories.

But Gao Han was furious in the locker room after the game, unceremoniously reprimanding the players for being paralyzed in the game, especially after taking the lead, he was even more entrusted, and Suarez was given a lesson.

"This is the UEFA Champions League. Any slack in the slightest, may cause you to be unstoppable."

"I'll say it again, I just want to focus on the players of the game!"

Everyone was completely frightened by the anger of Gao Han's thunder. No one thought that Gao Han would make such a big fire.

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

Fortunately, the skill cards played a key role in the last moment, especially in the last ten minutes, launched a crazy counterattack, and finally helped Manchester City win the opponent and survived the disaster.

But Gao Han was not happy at all, instead he was very upset, because the skill card didn't need to be used originally.

In another group match with Manchester City at the same time, Real Madrid challenged Milan away, and the two teams played inextricably.

Allegri is very clear that if this game loses again, his team will basically be eliminated from the Champions League group stage ahead of schedule, so Milan played very tenaciously, and Real Madrid has repeatedly launched strong attacks.

The two sides fought hard until the first half stoppage time, and Di Maria assisted Higuain to help Real Madrid take the lead.

But not long after the start of the second half, Inzaghi equalized the score and the two sides returned to the same starting line.

Not only that, in the 78th minute, Gattuso assisted and Inzaghi made another move to reverse the score.

This made Milan very excited, and Real Madrid fell into a frantic counterattack.

Mourinho's team was almost fighting with Milan and persisted until the last moment of the game. In the third minute of stoppage time, Diego Costa assisted Pedro Leon to equalize the score.

In the end, the two giants drew two to two.

After this round, the group ranking remains unchanged. Manchester City ranked first with 12 points in four consecutive victories, Real Madrid ranked second with two wins, one draw and one loss with seven points, and Milan ranked third with two draws and two losses with two points. Ajax scored one point with one draw and three losses, ranking fourth.

From the point of view of the points ranking, Manchester City has undoubtedly qualified ahead of schedule. The only difference is whether the team is the top or not, Real Madrid also basically qualified, but Milan still has the possibility of theoretical reversal, but it is extremely difficult.

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

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

For this Dutch team, Gao Han has always felt it is a pity, because their strength is not weak, whether it is Suarez, Eriksson, or other players, they are obviously good.

It's a pity that Ajax was not lucky enough to sign and was drawn in the same death group with Manchester City, Real Madrid and Milan. If it were to change to another group, the Dutch team might not have no hope of competing for the right to qualify.

Three days after the end of the Champions League group stage, Manchester City defeated West Bromwich Albion 2-0 away.

This is the eleventh round of the Premier League.

But the most eye-catching game of this round was at Anfield Stadium. This season, Liverpool, who had no Champions League match task, defeated visiting Chelsea by 2-0 and once again gave Scolari's team a head-on.

The Blues also won the UEFA Champions League group stage all the way, four consecutive victories ahead of the group's top spot, but facing Liverpool, who was waiting to work, the Blues were obviously caught off guard, and finally had to regret to leave Anfield.

But Liverpool was not happy for long. Hodgson's team soon drew with Wigan Athletic in the twelfth round of the Premier League in midweek, and the ranking that had just been improved fell again.

Manchester City ushered in the Manchester derby in this round.

Ferguson's Manchester United have performed well in recent times. The Champions League and the league have also won all the way, but in this match against Manchester City, the Red Devils failed to continue their previous outstanding performance. After half an hour of hard work in the opening, Manchester United was defeated. Manchester City scored two goals in five minutes and Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice.

After changing sides in the second half, the Portuguese scored again, staged a hat-trick, and took a three-goal lead.

Manchester United was in the final moments of the game, the small pea Hernandez scored a goal to regain face.

Ferguson was also extremely frustrated with the loss of the game after the game, saying that Cristiano Ronaldo alone decided the outcome of the game and Manchester City deserved to win. At the same time, he also believed that the Portuguese should get the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

"His ability to score goals has repeatedly shocked me."

Not only Ferguson, all the media around the world have also praised Cristiano Ronaldo’s status, believing that the Portuguese’s performance in the past year is worthy of the title of No. 1 in football and deserves to be awarded the FIFA Ballon d'Or. honor.

Gao Han also said in an interview with the media that Cristiano Ronaldo's performance this season is phenomenal.

"What I want to say is that this is not the strongest him, but he is already good enough."

In addition to the high cold, Manchester City teammates have also come forward to support Cristiano Ronaldo.

"With him, our task in the game becomes very simple, that is, pass the ball to him, he can score." The team's top assister David Silva smiled and praised.

Kaka also praised this teammate and close friend, "I rarely compliment a person like this, but I want to say that he is one of the greatest football stars today and the best player in the past year. I Think he deserves recognition."

Captain Harvey Alonso also said in a high profile, "I can hardly imagine that besides Cristiano, who is more worthy of this honor than him, he has won almost everything in the past year, but Unfortunately, we did not participate in the Champions League, otherwise, the Champions League winner will also belong to us, belong to Cristiano."

In addition to Manchester City, including the Portuguese national team coach, Portugal's domestic celebrities and so on... More than half of the European football is in the process of building momentum for Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, the media in Catalonia generally support Messi and believe that Messi is more convincing in terms of championship honors, especially Barcelona's Champions League and league doubles. According to past awards practices, Messi should be elected. .

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

Regarding whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi, the media and fans are generally controversial.

But the war in the European League is still going on.

What was even more unexpected was that just over the weekend, when Manchester City faced Birmingham in the 13th round of the Premier League, Cristiano Ronaldo received an assist from Harvey Martinez in just two minutes and scored.

In the thirty-first minute, the Portuguese received an assist from Benzema, and then went on to expand the score to two to zero.

Near the end of the first half, Benzema again assisted Sanchez to score, rewriting the score to three to zero.

The three-goal victory made Manchester City extremely excited, and the offensive in the second half continued ~lightnovelpub.net~ In the 53rd minute, Sanchez forced the ball from the right to the penalty area and assisted to the left, Christie Jarno Ronaldo stepped in and scored again.

The whole city stadium is completely crazy!

Hat tricks were staged for two consecutive rounds. The Portuguese superstar rushed to the live TV camera with excitement, poking himself aggressively at fans all over the world, as if to say, besides me, who else deserves the FIFA Golden Ball prize?

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

The crazy goal state allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to completely detonate the Ballon d'Or contest.

And on the second day after the end of this round, FIFA also announced the top three players who entered the Ballon d'Or list, namely Messi and Iniesta, who played for Barcelona, ​​and Christie, who played for Manchester City. Jarno Ronaldo.

There is not much suspense among the top three candidates. The only curious thing is who will become the final winner and the first player in football history to win the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

What is even more interesting is that this time FIFA also specially added the best coach award to reward the coach with outstanding performance in the past year, and the selection scope includes not only the national team coach, but also the club coach.

Alpine, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola and Spanish national team coach Bosque have all been selected for this shortlist.

And FIFA also announced that this event will be scheduled to be held in Zurich in mid-January.

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

But on the night of FIFA's announcement of the shortlist, Chinatown in Spain suffered the first defeat of the new season, and it was a downright defeat.
