The next day, the media around the world almost unexpectedly reported last night's FIFA annual awards ceremony.

The media and fans generally affirmed Cristiano Ronaldo's first FIFA Golden Ball Award. After all, the performance of the Portuguese superstar in the past year has indeed been quite eye-catching. Not only has he scored goals, but he also helped Manchester City win the first Premier League championship in the club's history and won all the championship trophies.

With this honor, the weight is not inferior to Messi's double champion at all.

The media also talked about Gao Han's comments on the two superstars Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as the Portuguese's thank-you speech to Gao Han after winning the award. Messi also accepted an interview with the media after the award ceremony and expressed his gratitude and respect to Gao Han.

Gao Han’s public call for increasing his attention to the head coach at such an important event has also been unanimously recognized by the media and fans. After all, he is now the number one head coach in the world and should naturally assume such a responsibility.

After the award ceremony, FIFA held a banquet to entertain all the guests invited to the event and booked a return flight in advance. For guests like Gao Han, Ferguson and Cristiano Ronaldo who could not return that night, they took the initiative to arrange check-in at the best hotel in Zurich and booked the next day's morning flight.

On the flight from Zurich to Manchester, Gao Han and Ferguson passed the time with a large stack of newspapers in front of them, and from time to time expressed some comments and opinions on certain comments and opinions in the newspapers. Time flies quite quickly.

Soon, Ferguson was attracted by a news in the newspaper.

"Hey, Van Persie has made a comeback recently and is in good condition. Is it really related to removing his wisdom teeth?" Ferguson asked with concern.

Gao Han leaned over and saw that he was browsing a news about Arsenal center Van Persie with reading glasses. Some media believed that Van Persie's recent performance after returning from injury was related to his special trip to France to remove his wisdom teeth.

As for wisdom teeth extraction, it is actually not uncommon in professional football. Many professional stars such as Fabregas and Seedorf have been extracted, and the main thing is to avoid toothache. As for whether it really has the effect of reducing injuries, God knows.

"Please, he was pulled in 2009. Later you also know, is it useful?"

Gao Han's rhetoric made Ferguson laugh. Judging from the past two years, Van Persie has been injured a lot.

"I heard that this time he went to find German miracle doctor Walfat. You recommended it, right?" Ferguson asked again.

Gao Han also didn't deny it, "Wenger and Van Persie called me, and they did find many doctors, but the treatment effect was not very obvious. Kaka's treatment effect was ideal in Walfat's side, so..."

Ferguson also understands this very well. Knowing a good sports doctor these days is crucial for professional players, so a miracle doctor like Walfat, who has a very good reputation, is the object of countless athletes competing for them.

"This kid is extremely powerful. If he is not injured or sick, he might be the most lethal center in the world." Ferguson said casually in a low voice.

Gao Han was a little surprised, "Are you praising him?"

"What's strange?" Ferguson's eyes flashed a little.

Gao Han did not doubt that he was there, "No wonder, but if Wenger knew about it, he might think that the sun was coming out from the west."

Everyone knows that Ferguson and Wenger are mortal enemies. In private, although the two are polite to each other, they are not right. In addition, the feud between Manchester United and Arsenal makes many people feel that they are the ones who never interact with each other.

But Gao Han knew that they just didn't like each other.

Everyone is their own master, and this is true.

"You, I'd better worry less for Wenger, worry more about Berbatov who is worried about you." Gao Han joked with a smile.

Berbatov performed well this season and his condition has improved compared to before. More importantly, his contract with Manchester United was only in 2012. In order to maintain his position at Manchester United, he withdrew from the Bulgarian national team and focused on club competitions.

So far, Berbatov is one of the best players on Manchester United's forward line, but Manchester United has not given a signal to renew the contract for a long time, which has always made the outside world very curious.

Some media revealed that Ferguson was not satisfied with Berbatov, especially when players such as Rooney, Tevez, Hernandez performed well, and young players such as Velbeck performed well, Berbatov was even thrown into the cold palace by Ferguson.

The reason is very simple. It is difficult for him to help Manchester United in some key games, especially in front-court pressing and oppressing, which is Ferguson's biggest criticism of him.

According to the unspoken rules of European football, this season should be the year of Berbatov's contract renewal. If the contract is not renewed this season, it means that Manchester United is willing to sell him in the summer. Otherwise, if they wait until some summer transfer period is renewed, Manchester United will be relatively passive.

Therefore, many people say that Ferguson wants to sell Berbatov, and he is interested in Dzeko, who plays for Wolfsburg.

Dzeko's goal efficiency in the Bundesliga is very high, but Wolfsburg's asking price is not low, which has made the Bosnian-Herzegovina center unable to leave the Bundesliga. Many teams, including Real Madrid, are discouraged by him. However, if Manchester United really sells Berbatov and introduces Dzeko, it is not completely impossible.

When Gao Han mentioned Berbatov, Ferguson's face became obviously a little unfavorable.

Bulgarian center has been joining Manchester United for almost three years. Except for this season, the first two seasons have not been satisfactory, but they are in full swing in the contract renewal year, which is really a dilemma.

Because of this, Berbatov's contract renewal has not been explained yet, and Ferguson must be very confused.

After returning to Manchester from Zurich with a reputation, Manchester City was extremely excited.

This time, he was able to win two heavyweight FIFA annual awards, and even alarmed his boss Mansour to call him to congratulate him in person, and encouraged the team to continue to work hard.

The next day, the team went south to London and challenged West Ham United away.

This is the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals.

In the last round, the Hammers defeated Manchester United four-to-zero at home and eliminated the Red Devils from the League Cup. The team was very motivated. In this game, the Hammers were ambitious and wanted to continue their state against Manchester United. Especially in this game, Gao Han continued to use a half-main and half-substitute lineup.

Just thirteen minutes into the game, the Hammers took advantage of their home advantage and knocked on Manchester City's goal first, and never gave Manchester City a chance to counterattack, locking in the lead.

But during the break, Gao Han made adjustments. After the side change in the second half, he quickly equalized the score. Gareth Bale forced a breakthrough from the left to create a set piece in the frontcourt. The Welsh took the penalty and assisted Kompany to head the ball.

After equalizing the score, Manchester City began to counterattack.

West Ham United striker Obina made an obvious elbow strike against Kompani when he was scrambling for a header two minutes after conceding the ball. Although it did not cause the Belgian central defender to be injured, he was sent off the court by the referee's red card.

After that, the game completely entered the pace of Manchester City. In the 78th minute, Blue Moon reversed West Ham United 2-1 with Sturridge's goal and successfully won the first leg.

After returning to Manchester from London, Gao Han continued to rotate and adjust the team.

Manchester City's main battlefield is no longer the league and cup, but the Champions League, so Gao Han and the coaching staff have decided to use rotation to allow players to get more rest and adjustments in January so that they can perform better in February and in the following months.

Three days later, in the 23rd round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated the Wolves four-to-one at home. Cristiano Ronaldo, who had just won the first FIFA Golden Ball Award from Zurich, scored twice and performed very eye-catching.

However, in this round, Manchester United drew 0-0 with Tottenham Hotspur away, Liverpool drew 2-2 with Everton at home, and the Reds' league ranking fell directly to 13th. Daglish obviously failed to stop Liverpool's decline.

After playing the 23rd round of the league, the Premier League ushered in a week's rest time.

A week later, Manchester City challenged Aston Villa away.

After resting, Blue Moon finally ushered in another explosion in this round. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick, and Kaka's double score and Sanchez's goal, defeated Aston Villa 6-0 away.

Manchester United beat Birmingham five to zero at home, Arsenal beat Wigan Athletic three to zero at home, Chelsea beat Bolton four to zero away, and all the Premier League champions won a big victory.

This also made all the media exclaim, sighing that the top four in the Premier League is powerful. With both sides raising their strength, it is difficult for the other teams to stop the massacre of the top four.

Liverpool finally stopped the decline in this round, defeating Wolves three to zero away, and Daglish also breathed a sigh of relief after this victory.

After playing the 24th round of the Premier League, Manchester City ushered in the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals.

At the City Stadium, Gao Han continued to fight against the Hammers with a rotational semi-main lineup, and finally defeated West Ham United 2-1 without any danger, and then defeated his opponent 4-2 with a total score, successfully advancing to the finals.

In another match, Arsenal returned to the City Stadium and won 3-0 without any surprises in the first round away game. In the end, the total score of 3-1 met with Manchester City in the final.

The final will be held at Wembley Stadium at the end of February.

Three days after the League Cup semi-finals, Manchester City played with a full substitute, defeating Notts County five-to-zero away and successfully advanced to the FA Cup quarterfinals.

While Manchester City competed in various fronts in the Premier League, the La Liga also restarted in January and played five rounds of games.

After selling Schneiderling at a high price, Chinatown introduced Rakitic, which was once worrying, but after the winter break, Chinatown showed amazing strength with an impressive record of four wins and one loss in the next five games.

The only loss happened at the Bernabeu Stadium against Real Madrid. Chinatown scored the first goal in just seven minutes of the opening game, with Michu assisting Rakitic opening the first record. This was also the second appearance of the Croatian midfielder joining the team. The first time, he scored a goal.

But Diego Costa equalized the score two minutes later.

But in the 18th minute, Michu received an assist from Ander Herrera and surpassed the score again, but before the first half was about to end, Higuain tied the score again.

The turning point of the game occurred in the 78th minute of the second half. Diego Costa fell in a scramble in the penalty area. The referee showed Marcos Senna without hesitation and sent the veteran Chinatown out of the field.

Afterwards, Chinatown was defeated and was defeated by the opponent two consecutive games, and finally lost two to four away games.

But after this game, Chinatown won all the recognition from the media and fans.

What is even more exciting is that Croatian midfielder Rakitic almost seamlessly joined the team, which prevented Chinatown's midfield strength from falling at all. The record of four wins and one defeat after the winter break is the best example.
