After the management made the final decision, Chinatown officially responded to Atletico Madrid, who immediately arranged for the negotiation team led by Hill Jr. to contact Armando Marcos and negotiate Schneiderlin's transfer.

At the same time, technical director Carlos Cantalero also began to launch the transfer signing plan during the winter break, striving to win the number one signing target before Christmas, allowing him to come to the team in advance to prepare for training and integrate into the team faster.

All this was done without the outside world's knowledge, except for the parties involved.

Since there were no games in the middle of the week, everyone aimed at the 12th round of La Liga on the weekend.

Chinatown will welcome Valencia at home, which will also be a tough battle.

The Bats' lineup is not strong this season, but under Emery's training, the results are quite good. In this game, I was visiting Butak Stadium and challenging my junior brother Pochettino. Emery is undoubtedly under a lot of pressure.

Both teams have been carefully prepared and played cautiously at the beginning, but Chinatown was young and made mistakes early.

On the right side of Valencia, Joaquin tore off the left side of Chinatown in a 21st minute break through the wing. After making a cross, Aduris picked up the goal and scored first.

After that, the two teams completely entered a fast-paced offensive and defensive battle. Chinatown beat Valencia, but never pried open the Bats goal until the 73rd minute of the second half, Marcos Senna's assist allowed Aubameyang to tie the score.

In the end, the two sides tied a one-to-one draw.

Chinatown's top scorer Mi Chu was closely guarded by Valencia in this game. He performed very mediocrely and failed to perform well. He failed to score until the end of the game.

On the contrary, in another game, Barcelona defeated Villarrel 5-2 away, Messi scored a hat-trick and contributed two assists to help Barcelona defeat the home team and scored a valuable three-pointer.

With three goals, Messi also successfully reversed Mi Chu and topped the La Liga scorer list.

After leading the way for two or three months, Mi Chu finally stepped down from the scorer list.

In another game, Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 5-1 at home, and Diego Costa and Higuain both scored twice, especially Higuain, who are constantly narrowing the gap between himself and Michu in the scorer list.

However, the media and fans also have high evaluations of this Spanish scorer. He believes that Mi Chu has proved his strength and characteristics to lose to a superstar like Messi. Instead, he should be proud of his performance before the start of this season.

However, inside Chinatown, especially Gao Han, it has been mentioned before that as the season deepens, all La Liga teams will pay more and more attention to Mi Chu's defense, which will make Mi Chu's goal more and more difficult. Therefore, the coaching team needs to fully consider the situation facing Mi Chu when formulating tactics and provide help.

Pochettino also discovered this problem, especially after Mi Chu's amazing success, the efficiency of goals in recent rounds has dropped significantly, which proves that La Liga teams are increasingly interested in Mi Chu's defense. If Chinatown wants to continue to maintain the sharpness of this sharp knife, it must make appropriate adjustments.

While Chinatown drew 1-1 with Valencia at home, Manchester City led by Gao Han also went south to challenge Fulham on the weekend after a week of rest.

This is the 14th round of the Premier League.

Since he will play AC Milan at home in the middle of the week and prepare for the top spot in the group, Gao Han rotated in this game. Zabaleta, who was entrusted with important tasks, replaced Xavi Alonso, but Cristiano Ronaldo, who has an extremely strong desire to score goals, continues to lead the lead.

As a result, just six minutes into the game, Cristiano Ronaldo received an assist from Modric and scored first.

In the 32nd minute, Sabaleta scored a goal, expanding the score again.

Three minutes later, Adam Larana took another game, three to zero.

After the second half of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo received an assist from Zabaleta in the 53rd minute and scored again, expanding the score to four-to-zero.

The Portuguese has shown crazy goalscoring momentum recently, not losing to Spain's Messi.

Sixty minutes later, Gao Han replaced several players including Portuguese superstars for the mid-week Champions League match. Fulham also took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and sneaked into the goal in the 70th minute.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Fulham four-1 away and scored another three-pointer.

Media reporters and fans have long been accustomed to Manchester City's goal victory. Instead, everyone is more concerned about the goal battle between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and who is more likely to win the first FIFA Golden Ball Award.

The two players seemed to have a vague idea of ​​fighting for this. Decibel sounded the clarion call for the goal battle in La Liga and Premier League. Messi scored a hat trick in this round and contributed two assists, but Cristiano Ronaldo was not bad either. He scored twice and assisted one. The battle between the two superstars attracted the attention of fans all over the world.

…………

…………

Manchester was drizzling and the temperature dropped very low.

AC Milan's head coach Allegri stood in front of the visiting team coach's seat at the city stadium, wearing thick gloves on both hands, but still felt that he couldn't help but feel the cold from bottom to top, making him unable to help but want to tremble.

This is the fifth round of the Champions League group stage and it is also the life-and-death battle for AC Milan.

Anyone can see that it is difficult for the Reds and Blacks to break out of the group stage this season. It is just a theoretical possibility, but in real life, no one wants to, and dares to expose the last layer of window paper.

More than 2,000 AC Milan fans followed the team to the away game. They only have one wish, that is, to see the team show their last courage and fight to the end with Manchester City. Even if they can't defeat their opponents, they must at least take away the team's dignity.

But reality is often cruel, just like more than 2,000 fans of the visiting team were quickly submerged in the ocean of tens of thousands of home team fans, AC Milan was quickly submerged in the storm of Manchester City.

Just six minutes into the game, Sanchez faced Jankulovsky one-on-one from the right, and a change of direction accelerated easily broke through the opponent's defense. With no defense, the ball was easily passed to the back point. Cristiano Ronaldo, who was also unmarked, easily scored a goal.

One to zero, Manchester City scored its first record!

This goal put AC Milan in a dilemma. Allegri's team began to launch a crazy counterattack, but the cunning Gao Han began to defend and counterattack, frequently seizing opportunities to create threats.

Especially in the 34th minute, Sanchez started at high speed on the right and once again threw away Jankulovsky's defense. Facing Thiago Silva who was quick to fill up, the Chilean winger made a quick man and left the Italian central defender behind and completely defeated AC Milan's defense.

But this beautiful attack failed to create a threat. After Sanchez sent the ball into the penalty area, Benzema grabbed the first point. He wanted to control the ball and adjust it to kick it again. However, although Nesta was no longer in the peak state, he had a great sense of defense and used his foot to stab the ball away in time, destroying another attack from Manchester City.

Just four minutes later, there was another murderous intent from the right. Sanchez failed to break through Jankulovsky this time, but it passed back to Mascherano. The Argentinian directly passed the ball to the left of the front of the penalty area. Cristiano Ronaldo beat Nesta and headed the ball back to the middle. Benzema deliberately missed, and Modric behind him grabbed the ball.

With almost no defense in the Croatian midfielder stopped the ball with his right foot and swung his left foot, and directly shot a curved ball. The ball directly turned into AC Milan's goal, 2-0!

Two goals behind, which hit AC Milan very hard, especially the team's defense encountered considerable difficulties.

But Allegri did not make substitutions during the break, but instead made a complete effort in the second half to win a goal, but the final result was that Manchester City was once again and again in the penalty area.

In the 54th minute, Sanchez suddenly broke into the penalty area and was defeated by midfielder Sidov, who was returning to defense at AC Milan, but the referee did not award a penalty, AC Milan escaped.

But in the 79th minute, after Modric interrupted the ball in the middle, David Silva initiated a counterattack, crossed behind the defense line, Benzema pulled the ball to the left to catch the ball, and used his speed to forcibly break through Nesta and crossed the back point.

Sanchez made a rush on the right, grabbed the ball in front of the bottom line and passed it across the middle. Cristiano Ronaldo followed up and directly pushed the ball into the net, rewriting the score to three-to-zero!

The consecutive goals made AC Milan completely confused.

But Allegri stood on the sidelines, but his mind was extremely clear.

When he was not as good as a man, he did not arrange for Pirlo to play when he played against Manchester City and Real Madrid, which resulted in overwhelming criticism. So in this game, he simply followed the outside world's opinions and allowed players such as Pirlo, Sidov, Gattuso, Ambrosini and Boateng to play at the same time. But what's the result?

Single striker Pato was mediocre throughout the game and made no contribution. Five players gathered in the midfield. It seemed that there were many people, but in fact it had no effect at all. The front of the penalty area could not be defended at all.

Professional football seems very complicated, but in fact it is very simple and speaks with strength.

In the past, AC Milan was able to play Pirlo during the Ancelotti period because the team had a group of outstanding players from front to back. Players such as Gattuso, Ambrosini and Seedorf were all at their peak, with Kaka, Inzaghi and Shevchenko in the frontcourt, who made the opponent's defenders terrified.

But what about now?

Relying on the young and immature Pato, or the old Gattuso, Sidov, Yankulovsky, Nesta and others?

On the other hand, Manchester City has superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Sanchez and Kaka in the frontcourt. These players don’t need to do anything at all. They just need to stand on the court. At least five people have to defend in the backcourt, and even have to worry throughout the game.

Therefore, the high-altitude midfielder can rank a combination of David Silva, Modric and Xavi Alonso.

But can other teams?

If there are no players with outstanding personal abilities in the frontcourt, can Gao Han make such a combination in the midfield?

On the court, the game was decided, but Allegri had an inexplicable pleasure in revenge.

He just wanted everyone to see whether he was not good enough or AC Milan's lineup was not good.

Of course, he also knew that if he lost this game, he would definitely be criticized overwhelmingly after the game, but he really had no choice. He was not as good as others, so he had tried his best.
