The 8-1 home victory over Arsenal shocked Manchester City, and followed by overwhelming praise.

But within the team, Gao Han continued to affirm the team's performance while also pouring cold water on his face. He did not want his team to lose himself by such an epic victory with chance.

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

Three days later, in the quarterfinals of the League Cup, Gao Han played with a full substitute, and his opponent was Leicester City in the relegation zone of the English Champions League. Manchester City easily won four-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 into the game, Benzema's goal helped Manchester City take the lead.

After that, the two teams had offense and defense, and overall, Manchester City still had the advantage. Until the stoppage time in the second half, Benzema scored another goal, helping Manchester City defeat Wolves 2-0.

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

With the victory in the first three rounds, Manchester City is the number one favorite for the death group to break through. In this game, the team played a little slack. Xavi Alonso scored nine minutes later, but he was unable to find the feeling of the game afterwards.

In the second half, Suarez even seized a chance and sneaked into the goal. The assist was Ajax's young midfielder Eriksen. It is worth mentioning that both players were highly recommended by Gao Han to Mendes.

After being equalized by Ajax, Manchester City woke up and launched a crazy counterattack. It was not until the game was about to end that Kaka scored a goal, locking the score at 2-1.

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 and bluntly scolded the players for being careless in the game, especially after taking the lead, he seemed even more arrogant, and was taught a lesson by Suarez.

"This is the Champions League, any slight slack of slack may lead to your scourge."

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

Everyone was completely frightened by Gao Han's thunder. No one expected Gao Han to get so angry.

But only Gao Han himself knew that this was his first time using a skill card this season. Otherwise, the team would end in a draw in this game, which would be his first draw in his career.

Fortunately, the skill card played a key role in the last moment, especially in the last ten minutes, launching a crazy counterattack, eventually helping Manchester City win the opponent and survive the disaster.

But Gao Han was not happy at all, but was very angry because the skill card was not needed.

In another group match that played at the same time as Manchester City, Real Madrid challenged AC Milan away, and the two teams were hard to tell.

Allegri knew very well that if he lost this game, his team would basically be eliminated from the Champions League group stage early, so AC Milan played very tenaciously, while Real Madrid repeatedly launched strong attacks.

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

But not long after the second half began, Dainzaji tied the score and both sides returned to the same starting line.

Not only that, in the 78th minute, Gattuso assisted and Dainzaji scored another goal to reverse the score.

This made AC Milan extremely excited, while Real Madrid fell into a crazy counterattack.

Mourinho's team can almost be said to be fighting AC 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 of battle, the group ranking remains unchanged. Manchester City won four consecutive victories and scored 12 points, Real Madrid ranked second with two wins, one draw and one loss, seven points, AC Milan ranked third with two losses, two losses, and Ajax ranked fourth with one draw and three losses.

Judging from the points ranking, Manchester City has undoubtedly qualified in advance. The difference is only whether the group is top or not. Real Madrid has basically qualified, but AC Milan still has the possibility of a theoretical reversal, but it is very difficult.

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

As for Ajax, his only hope is to compete with the Ross and Blacks for third in the group and participate in the UEFA Cup.

Gao Han always felt that it was a pity for this Dutch team, because their strength was not weak. Whether it was Suarez, Eriksen, or other players, they obviously had good strength.

It’s a pity that Ajax is not lucky in the signing, and he draws the same death group as Manchester City, Real Madrid and AC Milan. If it were other groups, the Dutch team may not have no hope of qualifying.

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

This is the 11th round of the Premier League.

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

The Blues also won wildly in the Champions League group stage, and four consecutive victories advanced to the top in the group ahead of schedule. However, facing Liverpool, who was waiting for it, the Blues were obviously caught off guard and eventually had to leave Anfield Stadium with regret.

But Liverpool was not happy for long. Hodgson's team soon drew 1-1 away against Vigan Athletics in the 12th round of the Premier League in the mid-week, and the ranking that had just improved declined again.

Manchester City ushered in the Manchester derby in this round.

Ferguson's Manchester United has performed well recently, and they have won consecutive victories in the Champions League and the League. However, in this game, the Red Devils failed to continue their outstanding performance. After struggling for half an hour at the beginning, Manchester United was scored two goals in five minutes by Manchester City, and Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice.

After the second half of the game, the Portuguese scored another goal, which scored a hat-trick and scored a three-goal lead.

Manchester United scored a goal to win back at the last moment of the game.

Ferguson was also extremely frustrated by the loss of the game after the game, saying that Cristiano Ronaldo alone decided the victory and Manchester City deserved to win, and he also believed that the Portuguese should win the FIFA Golden Ball Award.

“I was shocked by his goal-scoring ability.”

Not only Ferguson, but also all media outlets around the world have sang praises to 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 the honor of the FIFA Golden Ball Award.

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

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

In addition to Gao Han, Manchester City's teammates also came forward to support Cristiano Ronaldo.

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

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

Captain Xavi Alonso also said with a high profile, "I can't imagine anyone besides Cristiano, who deserves this honor more than him. He has won almost everything in the past year. It's just a pity that we didn't participate in the Champions League, otherwise the Champions League championship will also belong to us and Cristiano."

In addition to Manchester City, including the coach of the Portuguese national team, domestic Portuguese celebrities, etc....Most of European football players are building momentum for Cristiano Ronaldo.

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

What's more, Messi's performance has not been bad since the beginning of this season.

There is generally controversy between the media and fans regarding whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi.

But the European League war continues.

What is even more unexpected is that on the weekend, Manchester City hosted their 13th round Premier League opponent Birmingham at home. Cristiano Ronaldo received an assist from Xavi Martinez in just two minutes of the game and scored.

In the 31st minute, the Portuguese received an assist from Benzema and took another goal, expanding the score to 2-0.

Before the first half was over, Benzema assisted Sanchez to score again, rewriting the score to three-to-zero.

The three-goal victory made Manchester City extremely excited, and the offensive continued to work hard in the second half.

In the 53rd minute, Sanchez forced his start from the right and dribbled into the penalty area and assisted to the left. Cristiano Ronaldo scored again.

The entire city stadium is completely crazy!

After two consecutive rounds of hat tricks, the Portuguese superstar rushed to the live TV camera with excitement and poked himself at fans all over the world with domineering spirit, as if saying, Who else is worthy of the FIFA Golden Globes besides me?

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

Crazy goal-scoring state completely caused Cristiano Ronaldo to ignite the Golden Globes battle.

The day after this round of matches, FIFA also announced the top three places in the Ballon d'Or, namely Messi and Iniesta who play for Barcelona, ​​and Cristiano Ronaldo who plays for Manchester City.

There is not much suspense in the top three candidates. The only thing that is curious is who will become the final winner and become the first player in football history to win the FIFA Golden Ball Award.

What is even more noticeable is that this time FIFA has specially added the Best Coach Award to reward head coaches who have performed well in the past year. The selection range includes not only the national team coach, but also the club coach.

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

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 announced until that night.
