Super Marshal

As the saying goes, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.

When the break between Gao Han and Cristiano Ronaldo's master and apprentice was gradually replaced by other news events and became the focus of all media and fans, the two European Cup qualifying matches once again pushed the two masters and apprentices to the forefront. .

In just four days, Portugal first defeated Denmark 3-1 at home, and then defeated Iceland 3-1 away from home. After two rounds without a win, Portugal immediately ushered in two consecutive victories. More importantly, in these two games, Portugal In each game, Cristiano Ronaldo contributed four goals and scored twice.

This undoubtedly shocked fans all over the world, and everyone was amazed by the amazing performance of the Portuguese superstar.

After defeating Iceland 3-1 in an away game, Cristiano Ronaldo gave his first interview to the media in the past two weeks and publicly discussed various rumors from the outside world, saying that they were not true at all.

"I never thought about leaving Manchester City because I am very happy here, I have a group of very good teammates and a coach who believes in and supports me very much. I like the environment of the Premier League very much and it suits me very well. "

Cristiano Ronaldo expressed his gratitude to head coach Gao Han.

"I don't know where the rumors came from. You know, there are all kinds of different news spreading in the world every day. We can't respond to every piece of news. This is unrealistic, because that way If so, we wouldn’t need to play football at all and would become journalists and public relations instead, right?”

"I was not able to play against Newcastle mainly because I accepted the internal punishment of the team and was suspended for one game, and leaving the team early was also the boss's intention. Although he didn't say it, I understood that he wanted me to prepare better for the national team. , he knows me well and knows that I missed the first two rounds of the group due to injury, and I have been under great psychological pressure."

"I think some of the rumors out there are funny. You know what? I will only clarify once, that is, there is no problem between me and the boss. I will not and cannot have a conflict with him."

"I admit that the moment I was substituted, I was a little angry, but it was not directed at anyone, but my overall mental state... How can I put it, I just want to continue to help the team win. , a little over-involved, but then I calmed down in the locker room for a while and I figured it out, so I came out again to congratulate my teammates on the goal.”

"I think this is very normal, because during the game, everyone may be affected by the situation on the field, resulting in some emotional loss, but it is definitely not as outrageous as the rumors outside."

Cristiano Ronaldo expressed no worries about his situation in the team.

"Gareth is a very good player. I know he works very hard and has great potential, but I never feel that the two of us are in a competitive relationship. We all exist to help Manchester City win games better. If the coaching staff If I think he is more suitable than me, then I will follow his advice and at the same time reflect on whether I did not do a good enough job."

At the same time, Cristiano Ronaldo also used this interview to publicly apologize to his teammates and coaching staff at Manchester City, saying that he was very sorry because his problems had seriously affected everyone, and promised to work harder to restrain himself and hope that Can help Manchester City achieve more results in better condition.

After half a month's absence, Cristiano Ronaldo's public voice will undoubtedly give a resounding slap in the face to all previous conspiracy theories, but no one will pursue the various news concocted by the media in the past period.

This can be regarded as a set of unspoken rules in professional football.

Regarding the interview given by the Portuguese in Iceland, Gao Han quickly responded in Manchester.

"I'm very happy to hear what he said, and I'm also pleased to see his outstanding performance in the two games. I always thought he would be an indispensable member of the team, before and now. Yes, and it will be the same in the future.”

As for the upcoming eighth round of the Premier League, Gao Han said that Cristiano Ronaldo will be included in the squad, but whether he can play will not be judged until he returns to the team and participates in team training.

Gao Han and Cristiano Ronaldo responded one after another, which undoubtedly put an end to the rumors of a master-disciple break that had been making a fuss in the past half month.

Although there are still a lot of gossips flying around outside, and there are still many rumors that this is just a conspiracy theory that the two sides have taken a step back and the conflict has not been resolved, this has not been paid attention to by mainstream media reporters.

Even the fans don't believe such rumors.

…………

October 16, afternoon, the eighth round of the Premier League.

Manchester City faces Blackpool away from home.

Cristiano Ronaldo appeared in the team's starting lineup as scheduled, and his partners were Gareth Bale and center Benzema. The Welshman appeared on the right.

Not only that, in the attacking midfielder position, Gao Han also arranged for Adam Lallana to replace Kaka in the starting lineup. Together with Mirna and Modric, Manchester City's entire midfield and frontcourt underwent a substantial rotation.

The same is true for the back line. Mascherano and Zabaleta both participated in the Argentina national team, so Gao Han arranged for Kompany to play on the right side, Vertonghen to occupy the left side, and Xavi Martinez to Centered.

This can be said to be a semi-main force of Manchester City's second team, but its opponent Blackpool is not strong either.

In the first twenty minutes of the first half, Manchester City went head-to-head and scored two goals from Kompany and Gareth Bale. Among them, Gareth Bale's goal came from an assist from Cristiano Ronaldo.

But after the start of the second half, Manchester City's performance declined. Blackpool forward Fletcher received an assist from Campbell and scored a goal, once again making the game full of suspense.

At the critical moment, Cristiano Ronaldo stepped forward and received an assist from Benzema, helping Manchester City exceed the score again, helping Blue Moon finally defeat Blackpool 3-1 away from home and score three points.

Like previous games, Gao Han did not use any skill cards this time.

On the evening of October 19th, the third round of the Champions League group stage.

Manchester City travel to Amsterdam to take on Ajax away from home.

Ajax coach Martin Jol once coached Tottenham Hotspur and is very familiar with the Premier League, so he implemented very targeted defensive counterattack tactics during the game, banking on the personal ability of striker Suarez.

Manchester City played away from home, and their start was not ideal, but they still firmly controlled the situation.

It wasn't until the 36th minute that Kaka assisted Benzema and scored a goal.

Eight minutes later, in a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt, Harvey Martinez used a supplementary shot to score another victory for the team.

After changing sides in the second half, Manchester City continued to maintain pressure on Ajax. Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals in the 60th and 71st minutes respectively, helping Manchester City defeat Ajax 4-0 away from home. Sri Lanka.

Kaka contributed two assists, Sanchez recorded one assist, and the four offensive players in the frontcourt all performed very well.

In another match at the same time, Real Madrid defeated AC Milan 2-0 at home with Diego Costa's two goals in the 13th minute and Ozil's 14th minute, winning the title. A precious three points.

Brazilian forward Diego Costa shines at the Santiago Bernabeu with every pass and shot.

After three rounds of the Champions League group stage, Manchester City leads the group standings with three consecutive wins, Real Madrid has two wins and one loss, AC Milan and Ajax both have one draw and two losses, and only scored one point.

Three days after finishing the Champions League, Manchester City ushered in their ninth-round opponent in the Premier League at home, a powerful opponent, Arsenal.

It is said to be a strong enemy, but in fact it is not that strong.

Before the game, the media opened up old accounts and revealed Arsenal's embarrassing dilemma of being invincible in the past few years. Especially since February 2008, they have not won a game from Manchester City's City Stadium. Victory, last season was even beaten by Manchester City.

Not only Manchester City, Arsenal's away performance in strong dialogue has always been poor. It has been nearly two years since they have won at home against Chelsea and Manchester United. This is undoubtedly quite embarrassing.

Whether it was last season or this season, Arsenal's performance was not satisfactory.

The team is relatively young, has the title of youth army, and generally lacks experience. This has led to the Gunners repeatedly losing in strong dialogues. Especially this season, when facing the top four teams, the Gunners' winning rate is only 100%. Seventeen, very embarrassing.

This game undoubtedly once again cited the concerns of the outside media.

Only four minutes into the game, Modric's through ball passed behind Arsenal's defense. Sanchez turned offside and made a single goal. Center defender Djurou put a shovel behind him. Referee Claytenberg did not hesitate to take it out. red card.

Arsenal almost collapsed.

But it also greatly boosted Manchester City's morale. Playing at home, Blue Moon started a crazy offensive. In the first half, they led 3-0 with goals from Benzema, Sanchez and Cristiano Ronaldo.

During the halftime break, Wenger immediately made substitutions to strengthen the defense.

But in the second half, Manchester City changed sides and fought again. Manchester City's offensive continued unabated. Cristiano Ronaldo, David Silva and Kaka scored successively, rewriting the score to 6-0.

It wasn't until the 75th minute that Arsenal got back one with Van Persie.

But soon, Sanchez and Cristiano Ronaldo scored successively, eventually locking the score at 8-1.

The Portuguese superstar scored twice, but the best of the game belonged to Sanchez. He not only scored twice, but also scored a hat-trick of assists. Arsenal's opening red card also came from his counter-offside.

This was a shocking massacre, but what is even more shocking is that the target of Manchester City's massacre was the Premier League giant Arsenal. Not only the entire Premier League was shocked, but also European football and even the whole world were shocked and dumbfounded. .

No one would have thought that Manchester City could slaughter Arsenal like this at home.

Eight to one, this is the largest score difference in the Premier League this season.

When Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger was interviewed by the media after the game, he regretfully admitted that the team's skills were inferior to others, but at the same time he said that the score could not reflect the strength gap between the two teams. Arsenal lost more mainly to luck.

"I think there is a problem with the referee's enforcement. Our main central defender was sent off in the first four minutes. This is absolutely unreasonable. Of course, I can understand it. After all, this is the City Stadium."

The outside world generally expressed doubts about Wenger's vague accusation of pointing the finger at the referee, thinking that the referee was taking care of the home team, because Djurouz, who replaced Koscielny in the starting lineup, committed a tackle foul from behind, and it was of a relatively serious nature. Damn it, Sanchez is lucky if he is not injured or has a broken leg.

I would like to ask, in this case, is a red card excessive?
