Chapter 862 Entertainment to Death
After the second round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester City defeated Real Madrid 3-0 at home and ranked first in the group.
In another game in the same group, AC Milan drew 1-1 away against Ajax.
But what surprised Gao Han was that almost all media in the world were not focused on the game itself, but on Gao Han and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The media's attitude towards the Portuguese's behavior of shaking Gao Han in person and refusing to shake hands with him was very consistent, that is, the Portuguese was very dissatisfied with being replaced, and he believed that he should continue to stay on the court.
But what is surprising is that it was precisely after Cristiano Ronaldo left the court that Manchester City sounded the offensive horn and replaced Gareth Bale to score a hat trick. This undoubtedly created an interesting situation, that is, is Cristiano Ronaldo still an indispensable backbone for Manchester City?
Especially after the Portuguese refused to shake hands with Gao Han, they directly exposed the conflict between the two.
At the post-match press conference, many media reporters also paid attention to this point.
Gao Han said in an interview with the media that there is no conflict between him and Cristiano Ronaldo. He can understand the mood of the Portuguese when he was substituted. He highly praised Cristiano Ronaldo as a very professional player, so he has such an emotion.
"I believe that after calming down, he will soon realize his problem."
Gao Han also gave a very high evaluation of Gareth Bale's outstanding performance after taking the court, believing that Gareth Bale is a very outstanding and very potential player, and after taking the court, he perfectly implemented his requirements.
"I don't think a game can tell anything. Gareth Bale is still young now. He needs more training in the game and work hard to improve himself. I believe he will have a bright future."
Gao Han also mentioned that Gareth Bale's later outstanding performance is inseparable from the efforts of all the players of the team. It is the efforts of everyone, including Cristiano Ronaldo, that have led to Gareth Bale's outstanding performance after the game and this wonderful three-to-zero game.
When the media asked whether Cristiano Ronaldo would be punished for disrespect, Gao Han said that the team would make punishment results based on the corresponding rules and regulations, and no one would be spared.
Gao Han's words did not reveal any meaning, but expressed his idea of managing the Manchester City locker room fairly and justly, but after being exaggerated and hyped by media reporters, the meaning obviously became different.
Many media believe that Gao Han's words are obviously covering up some contradictions.
"A year ago, Cristiano Ronaldo abandoned the invitation from Real Madrid in order to follow Gao Han, which was rumored to be a good talk. However, after more than a year of cooperation, the Portuguese had to accept the reality that he was just an ordinary member of Gao Han's plan, just like all other teammates."
"Cristiano Ronaldo is very competitive and has always had a strong personal heroic complex. When he was not famous before, it was understandable to obey Gao Han's arrangements, but now he is the world's top superstar. He is tired of submitting to others, even Gao Han."
"This game is just an outbreak of conflicts between the two sides, and there will be more problems in the future."
At the same time, many British tabloids have also interpreted it, constantly citing some so-called insiders' shocking news that Gao Han introduced Gareth Bale to let the Welsh replace Cristiano Ronaldo.
"From Garez Bale's performance in this game, he has obviously integrated into the team and has the strength to replace Cristiano Ronaldo. Gao Han's meaning of replacing Cristiano Ronaldo with Garez Bale is already very obvious."
For a time, news about Cristiano Ronaldo no longer favored at Manchester City spread from Europe to the world, shocking all fans.
Gao Han and the Portuguese have always shown themselves as masters and apprentices who are deeply in love, but they did not expect that the two of them would break up in the end.
Media even began to disclose that Real Madrid has restarted its plan to introduce Cristiano Ronaldo and said that Florentino will strive to join the Portuguese superstar at all costs.
There is a Portuguese tabloid who came out of nowhere and was not well-known, which disclosed the so-called internal news, that is, Gao Han and Cristiano Ronaldo have a long history and have been suppressed.
"The media's speculation is correct at all. Gao Han introduced Gareth Bale to replace Cristiano Ronaldo. Everyone saw it in the game. The Welsh performed better and more eye-catching than Cristiano Ronaldo. Gao Han has achieved his goal."
"It is precisely because Cristiano Ronaldo knows this that he is furious to open up the contradiction between himself and Gao Han, which will undoubtedly end his career at Manchester City."
"We all know that if there is anyone in Manchester City who is indispensable, then it must be Gao Han. Now there is no match for Cristiano Ronaldo and Gao Han. One of them must go, and the person who leaves must be Cristiano Ronaldo."
"Gao Han has received support from everyone at the Manchester City management. Mansour cannot allow his team to repeat the mistakes of Chelsea. Therefore, the Portuguese superstar will leave the team the fastest winter break and the slowest next summer."
Suddenly, all kinds of news emerged in the streets and alleys, countless exclusive insider news were overwhelmed, and various conspiracy theories about Cristiano Ronaldo and the high-altitude trend were heard.
The closest rumored Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly Real Madrid, who is eager to seek talents.
This is because of a sentence from Mourinho at the post-match press conference.
"Transfer Cristiano Ronaldo? Of course, if you can, no team in the world can reject such a superstar. He is a fantastic player and our doors are always open to him."
This was originally a polite remark from Mourinho to respond to the media, and he also intended to disgust Gao Han, but unexpectedly, after the game, all media interpreted it as a signal that Real Madrid will make every effort to introduce Cristiano Ronaldo.
Regarding such rumors, Real Madrid, which was originally eager to introduce Portuguese superstar, would certainly not take the initiative to defy the rumors. Even when Spanish media interviewed several Real Madrid celebrities, they all said that Cristiano Ronaldo would be Real Madrid's number one target.
Manchester City's general manager Paul Fotterrey personally accepted an interview with the media and said that Manchester City could not sell Cristiano Ronaldo. "As far as I know, there is no conflict between him and the head coach, and I have not received any news about him leaving the team."
But under the surging conspiracy theory, Paul Fottery's explanation seems so pale.

"Ahem."
When a heavy cough came from behind, Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly turned around, but saw Sergio Garcia standing at the door of the locker room with a smile.
"Hi, Sergio." After greeting the Portuguese, he turned around and continued to pack up his things.
He was already the last person in the locker room to leave.
"Hello." Sergio Garcia walked in swaggeringly, watching him packing things as usual, and he couldn't help but nod in his heart.
"I heard that you are making a transfer recently?"
Cristiano Ronaldo stopped, turned around and looked at Sergio Garcia strangely, "Who asked you to ask?"
Sergio Garcia raised her eyebrows as if saying, you know.
"Ha, if he asked you to ask, then go back and tell him that I am indeed thinking, but if it is what you want to know, then I can answer you, that's not the case." After that, Cristiano Ronaldo continued to pack up again happily.
"But he seems to force you to leave." Sergio Garcia looked afraid that the world would be in chaos.
"oh?"
"He asked me to inform you that you are not on the roster of tomorrow's game."
"Um?"
"Forgot? You were banned from the internal game."
"Oh." Without saying that, Cristiano Ronaldo really forgot.
That was the morning after the match against Real Madrid, and the penalty notice was posted at the door of the locker room.
According to the rules in Gao Han's booklet, the Portuguese's punishment was to ban the game internally.
"He said, you are allowed to leave the team early, perform well in the national team, and make a sigh of relief. The most important thing is not to embarrass him."
Cristiano Ronaldo smiled after hearing this, which was like something Gao Han could say.
The Portuguese pulled the zipper of the training backpack vigorously, swung it on his shoulder, and turned to look at Sergio Garcia, "Then tell him too, don't use this old-fashioned provocation method, I'll just show him a few."
Sergio Garcia smiled and nodded. Old-fashioned is old-fashioned, and it works.
"Hey, by the way." The Portuguese stopped again after just a few steps. "He asked me to suspend the game at this time, aren't he afraid of rumors flying outside?"
"You said, will he be afraid?" Sergio Garcia asked.
When the Portuguese thought about it, it seemed that Gao Han never took that group of media reporters seriously.
It can be said that except for a few friends such as Javier Matayana and Green Wald, he is not very interested in every media reporter. If the league and UEFA had not strictly required to participate in pre- and post-match press conferences, he would probably not even bother to go.
"Have he said anything else?"
"Oh, he also said, he wishes you would get out early and avoid worrying."
Cristiano Ronaldo laughed loudly when he heard this, waved to Sergio Garcia, signaling that he would receive it, leave immediately, never stay, leave this damn Manchester and return to the warm motherland as spring.
After watching Cristiano Ronaldo leave the locker room and walk away in the direction of the parking lot, Sergio Garcia sighed deeply and was amazed.
"Sometimes, I really don't understand why you guys are so stingy?"
"Even though they are nothing to do with each other, they are so adults again, but they are still fighting like children. Is it fun to think that they are decades old?
"What's even more funny is that the group of media reporters outside are too irritating. It's obviously a matter of nowhere, but it can be spread as if it were seen with your own eyes. What's even more funny is that so many people believe it."
