The second half of the game started again.

Neither team was substituted during the half-time break, which made it easy for the game to continue the state of the first half, so Manchester City took the lead at the beginning of the second half.

After a successful steal, right center back Mascherano decisively dribbled the ball along the right side and made a cross, winning a chance for Manchester City to have a corner kick and also won applause and cheer from Manchester City fans.

Xavi Alonso made a corner kick, and Cristiano Ronaldo jumped high in the penalty area and grabbed the first landing point, but when he was heading the ball, he pushed it a little higher and failed to suppress the ball and finally missed a goal.

Amid the voices of the fans at the audience, whether regretful or relieved, the many VIPs sitting in the chairman's stands also lost their voices.

"Cristiano Ronaldo is really a monster."

"Isn't it? Look at his body, he jumped so high."

"The waist and abdomen are very strong, and this ball is not smooth. If it is straight, it will definitely score."

"He scored so many goals this season and was in such a good state. I guess he will be his for this year's FIFA Golden Ball Award."

Everyone was discussing, but the game on the field continued.

Manchester City took the lead in attacking, but Barcelona quickly returned to their qualities.

Both teams fought against each other without reservation, which made all the fans who came to the scene and the audience stationed in front of the TV excitedly and were very excited.

No one knew how it was in front of the TV, but at Wembley Stadium, the fans never stopped.

"This is the highest football match in the world." UEFA President Platini also sighed and laughed.

This is how football is good-looking and attracts more fans. This has always been Platini's idea.

"The first half was so exciting. I was worried that the second half would be a little conservative, but I didn't expect them to fight so hard." Secretary-General Infantino chuckled softly.

What is most familiar to this bald man is that he always presides over the Champions League draw ceremony.

"There is no way to be conservative. Manchester City is known for its offense. Gao Han will not give up the ball. Barcelona's defensive loopholes are obvious. Guardiola will not retreat. Whoever retreats will die. Therefore, this is destined to be a classic game."

When Platini said this, his tone was somewhat proud.

Since he became the president of UEFA, he has always praised technical football, and it has even been said that he favors Barcelona. This game is undoubtedly giving him a face.

"But it's strange, everyone knows that there's something wrong with Barcelona's left, but Manchester City seems to be seldom making a fuss on this side."

"It's normal." Platini replied, "It's not a secret that everyone knows. Guardiola has made sufficient preparations for Abidal to start. Do you think he hasn't made targeted arrangements?"

Infantino understood it immediately.

"Wait patiently. It's only fifty minutes now. Gao Han either doesn't exert force. Once he exerts force, he will definitely be a killer move. Look, Mascherano has just inserted it, and it's a bit unbearable." Platini smiled fearing that the world will not be messed up.

Infantino couldn't help but smile. He couldn't even see the right center back, which shows that Manchester City really was going to make efforts.

"Gao Han is indeed amazing, but what do you think about the matter that the outside world is concerned about?" Infantino asked casually.

Platini knew that what he was talking about Gao Han, and his face immediately became solemn.

Chinatown eventually entered the Champions League. Although he was ranked fourth in the league, which made La Liga new team famous, it also posed a big problem for UEFA.

Gao Han is now the chief technical officer and head coach of Manchester City. He can be said to be in charge of competitive affairs, but at the same time he is the boss of Chinatown. If the two teams are not met, it would be fine, but now he has entered the Champions League at the same time, which is difficult.

During the winter break, the media had already hyped it up once. At that time, UEFA gave a clear opinion and had to wait until the end of the season and the football associations of various countries submitted the UEFA Champions League qualification list before they could give a response.

Now, the Champions League roster has come out, Chinatown has really entered the Champions League, how can I respond?

These days, the media is almost breaking through the door of UEFA and is waiting to give a reply.

How to deal with this relationship between Gao Han and Chinatown?

It is obvious that the two teams must separate their strengths, otherwise they can only keep one of them, and even both teams will be punished. Whether it is to sell Chinatown or let Manchester City fire Gao Han, this is obviously not realistic.

So far, UEFA has adopted the drag-on formula and has not made a clear statement, but this is definitely not a solution.

"This old friend has never caused me any trouble on weekdays, but it's a big trouble when I find it." Platini smiled bitterly.

On weekdays, Platini deals with Gao Han a lot, and takes advantage of Gao Han in many things, especially in the La Liga strike. Gao Han made great contributions, and Platini knew it.

If the media had not paid attention to this matter, he and UEFA turned a blind eye and passed it. But the media is now staring at Gao Han and are so enthusiastic about this matter, how could they not pay attention to it?

This makes UEFA unable to not give an attitude.

"Let me find out the rules and terms again." Platini sighed helplessly.

This is very troublesome and difficult.

Just as Platini finished speaking, a burst of cheers suddenly broke out in the stadium.

Manchester City scored a goal!

…………

…………

"Manchester City midfielder got the ball, Modric took it to the right and passed it to Sanchez."

"Abidal came forward to defend, and Sanchez made a flexible fake move, drifted past Abidal and passed to the back point."

"Cristiano Ronaldo headed..."

"The ball is in!!!!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"In the 54th minute, Manchester City once again led the score with a header from Cristiano Ronaldo."

"The Portuguese jumped high under the attacks of two defenders, Alves and Puyol, one in front and one behind, and headed the ball. Moreover, this header was very smart and deliberately pushed a far corner. Valdes could do nothing."

...

The moment Cristiano Ronaldo headed the ball, the enthusiasm for the entire Wembley Stadium exploded again.

In the stands, tens of thousands of Manchester City fans rushed out of their seats and shouted the Portuguese name frantically.

Cristiano Ronaldo rushed out of the stadium with excitement, and fell into the bottom of the Manchester City fans' stands, and his teammates quickly rushed up one after another, surrounding him.

Three to two, Manchester City once again led the score.

In one of the administrative VIP boxes on the stadium, there was also a group of people cheering for the Portuguese superstar's goal.

"That's great, this goal came too critical and timely!"

"Who said no? He led the way again in the second half ten minutes, which was a heavy blow to Barcelona."

"From my perspective, Barcelona's hidden dangers have also begun to gradually be exposed."

"Congratulations, Jorge, you've made a lot of money."

"Isn't it? You can't make a profit by holding the golden signboard of Gao Han, plus Manchester City stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Benzema."

Sitting in the crowd, Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes, dressed in suit and tie, smiled after hearing the praises from everyone, turned to look at Mansour beside him, and replied modestly: "It doesn't matter whether I make money or not. The most important thing is that Manchester City wins the game. This Champions League is worth a thousand gold."

When Mansour heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

After hearing this, everyone around couldn't help but secretly admired that the Portuguese was indeed a broker. He was very versatile and knowledgeable. He deserved to be so good in European football.

And because of Mendes's area, everyone began to congratulate Mansour again.

In the past two years since Gao Han took over Manchester City, Premier League teams have not only smoothed their pace on the court, but also made great progress in their operations. In terms of operations, thanks to the investment in Abu Dhabi Consortium, they have quickly caught up with many European giant teams. With the help of superstars and outstanding results on the court, the club's global influence is also increasing.

Not long ago, Forbes just released the ranking of the world's most valuable sports brands in the past year. The American baseball giant New York Yankees ranked first, Manchester United ranked second after the New York Yankees, and the Red Devils are also the number one brand in the football field.

After Manchester United, the brand value rankings in the football field are Bayern Munich, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Manchester City, and then Arsenal and Inter Milan.

But interestingly, in Forbes' rankings, Manchester United ranks first among the most valuable sports clubs in the world, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Barcelona ranked second to fifth, while Manchester City only ranked ninth, and even worse than Chelsea, the Premier League team.

Forbes editor-in-chief Mike Ozanian explains that the rankings of the two lists are so different, that the rankings of the most valuable sports clubs refer to various factors such as club income, profit and debt, while brand value refers more to the influence of the club.

He also mentioned the phenomenon of Manchester City, believing that in the past two years, under Gao Han's leadership, Manchester City has introduced superstars, with rapid performance, brand value also soaring, and rankings have soared.

On the list of Forbes' most valuable athletes, there is only one football player among the top ten, that is Cristiano Ronaldo, who just scored a goal.

Everyone knows that there is only one core reason for Manchester City's major transformation in the past two years, that is Gao Han.

If everyone had doubts about Manchester City's huge sum of superstars and then introduced Gao Han with a world-record high annual salary, then two years later, everyone had to admire Mansour's decision made two years ago, and it might even be the smartest decision he made in Europe.

At least Manchester City's current valuation is at least over one billion pounds. Although it is still not as good as Manchester United, it is completely incomparable compared to two years ago.

Mansour is also quite satisfied with Manchester City's development in the past two years. Under Gao Han's leadership, this team swept across the entire Europa, and now he is even fighting against Barcelona on the stadium, which makes him proud.

But as soon as he thought of Gao Han, his face couldn't help but dim.

Manchester City only signed a two-year contract with Gao Han, but now the contract is about to expire, but Gao Han's contract renewal has not been carried out for a long time. It is said to be busy with the competition and has no time to renew the contract. But in fact, everyone inside Manchester City knows that if they really win this Champions League, Gao Han will probably retire and will not renew the contract again.

Even though Manchester City has provided him with a sky-high contract with a huge annual salary than before.

Everyone present, including Mendes, knew Gao Han's decision clearly, and could understand Mansour's mood at this time. A Champions League is enough to make Manchester City a European giant, but once Gao Han leaves the team...

But what a character Mansour is? After a little reluctant, he soon laughed again and turned to look at Tamim, the chairman of the Qatar Investment Bureau sitting next to him.
