Chapter 223 Xiao Gaoqi

Chapter 223 Xiao Gaoqi (Daily Transition)

Manchester City training base.

Snowflakes were falling, the wind was cold, and the corner flagpole seemed to be shaking from the cold.

The ryegrass was wet.

Morata fell down, got up excitedly and hugged Gao Qi tightly.

"Gao, you are finally back. I missed you so much."

De Bruyne stood aside, pinching leaves and laughing.

Teammates came forward one after another to greet each other, their enthusiasm dispelling the coldness.

"you lost weight?"

"I'm not thin, let go."

Gao Qi finally broke free from Morata and high-fived and hugged everyone one by one.

Pellegrini has great control over the dressing room.

Most of the players of the European upstarts come from all over the world and there is no clique formation.

This time when he came back, Gao Qi also brought back some souvenir gifts for Lina, but he didn't have time to send them to Munich.

After the physical examination.

Kidd and two assistant coaches accompanied Gao Qi for individual training.

"We lost to Arsenal and Newcastle United in the league"

"Chelsea will soon overtake us in the Premier League points table."

Chelsea's fighting power this season is exaggerated.

The lineup is perfect, with almost no flaws.

Mourinho, who returned to the club for the second time, used a modified blue bus tactic.

Not only is the defense solid.

The chemistry between Fabregas, Diego Costa, Hazard, Willian and others on the offensive end is becoming more and more subtle.

Taking advantage of the time when Gao Qi was unable to speak.

The old assistant coach kept chattering: "The next round opponent is Everton, which is also a very troublesome opponent."

Pellegrini, wearing a heavy down jacket, came over and interrupted, "Stop talking, let Gao say a few words."

Everyone laughed.

Gao Qi smiled and shook his head, pointing to his mouth: "My speech has become a little unfluent."

I don’t know if it was because the weather was too cold or because he hadn’t spoken English for a long time, but his English became a little rusty after returning to Manchester.

This situation seems to be very similar to that of many students returning to school after winter break, who need a week to completely switch language status.

The snow is getting heavier.

The club staff and photographers were busy.

"Prepare to shoot a video to celebrate the Chinese New Year!"

"Tom! We must do better than Bayern Munich this year!"

"Man, this is a bit difficult. I don't think any European club can surpass Bayern Munich's Spring Festival video. The boss said to use the simplest solution, just bring sincere blessings."

Morata patted his chest and said confidently: "Gao, during your absence, I learned a lot of Chinese vocabulary while watching the Asian Cup."

Gao Qi asked in confusion: "Which words?"

During his time in Rome, he did teach Kjaer several Chinese sentences, but he didn't teach the Spanish genius much.

Morata looked serious and said earnestly: "I learned it from the commentary videos on the Internet. The Japanese, the Koreans, the awesome ones, Gao Qi is awesome."

Gao Qi: “.”

The shooting was simple.

The snowy training ground is decorated with red decorations:

Lanterns, Chinese characters for "Fu", large decorative firecrackers, red envelopes, and stickers.
Manchester City's two mascots wore lamb hats, Tang suits, and opened couplets.

Gao Qi raised his hands and unfolded the banner.

The players took turns saying their blessings in Chinese.

"Happy Year of the Sheep."

"May all go well with you."

"May you be happy and prosperous."

"."

Take turns saying the prepared blessings.

Finally, everyone said in unison: "Happy Chinese New Year to the Chinese fans!"

Because of Gao Qi's presence, the sales of Manchester City teammates' jerseys and surrounding derivatives have skyrocketed.

Three days later.

Etihad Stadium.

There were huge crowds of people and every seat was packed.

Manchester City’s local fans are looking forward to it: we haven’t seen the 1.5 million pound man for several weeks!
"Zhuangdianertai! Zhuangdianertai! Good evening, audience friends!"

"We are now broadcasting live the 22nd round of the English Premier League."

"Manchester City hosts Everton." "Blue Moon meets Toffees."

"It is said that the nickname of Toffee comes from a local candy store in Everton. The marketing girl in the store would walk around the stadium and throw free candies to the stands before the game started. This tradition has been passed down, and over time, Everton got the nickname of Toffee."

Player tunnel.

The two teams greeted each other.

De Bruyne gave his Belgium team-mate Lukaku a friendly punch on the chest.

Lukaku was tidying up his dreadlocks with his hands, with a haughty expression: "International friendly match, I'll let you know that assisting is a very easy thing!"

"Why did you get fat?"

"Don't worry, I've only gained a little weight to enhance my fighting ability. It won't affect my speed, which I'm so proud of."

This historical period.

Lukaku, 21, is in his growth period.

He is well-proportioned and strong, can play the ball, has good speed, excellent shooting skills, and is good at seizing opportunities in front of the goal.

People nicknamed him "Little Devil" and "Little Gao Qi".

He has become a hot young striker in the Premier League.

The referee team led both teams out of the passage.

There was a burst of cheers at the Etihad Stadium.

Local fans shouted Gao Qi's name loudly.

A line of subtitles appeared on the large LED screen in the air, with the Premier League officials and Manchester City Club sincerely congratulating the Chinese superstar on winning the Asian Cup.

The mascot patted Gao Qi's butt.

The pretty flight attendant seemed to recall the embarrassing past when she saw this scene, and her cheeks suddenly turned red.

She took the initiative to stretch out her hand and high-fived Gao Qi.

Driven by obsessive-compulsive disorder, he even helped pull the Chinese star's gloves.

Gao Qi couldn't help but smile as he looked at the flight attendant whose nose was red from the cold.

The camera turned.

The Middle Eastern oil tycoons in the VIP box were excited and clapped loudly.

Snowflakes are falling.

The fireworks are gorgeous.

The entire Etihad Stadium welcomed Gao Qi's return.

Studio.
-
[An Asian Cup champion returning to the club also gets this kind of treatment? That’s quite nice! ]
-
[There is also a Chinese banner celebrating the Asian Cup. Did Manchester City fans buy it from Taobao? Haha. ]
-
[Normal, once the knockout stage is reached, it will be Gao Qi's Asian Cup alone.]
-
[Look at what Gao Qi is wearing today. Manchester City's long-sleeved jerseys and gloves are going to be a big hit! ]
-
[There is not much opportunity to use his brain in the Asian Cup, right? I don't know if he can adapt to the high-level game all at once. Everton's tactical system is still very complicated. Last time, Manchester United's Van Gaal said that he thought for a long time before finding a way out. ]

Command area.

Pellegrini sat in the coaching seat with a smile on his face.

The mood is completely different from the previous two losses to Arsenal and Newcastle United.

The other side.

Everton coach Martinez stood in the command area with a nervous look on his face.

The Toffees have had a good attack this season.

But the defense is weak.

20 Premier League games, 30 goals scored, 37 goals conceded
Martinez is a Catalan who firmly believes in his football philosophy: passing and controlling.

In fact, Everton has not been shot on target many times by opponents, only 70 times so far.

But conceding 70 shots on target and conceding 37 goals are simply weird numbers.

This means that once the opponent finds a flaw in the defense, they can just shoot without thinking, and as long as the shot is on target, there is a 52% chance of scoring!
Beep!
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The game officially begins.

Everton have the ball.

After the football was passed slowly several times, it suddenly sped up and was passed to the wing, then flew to the middle.

"Lukaku!"

“His ball-stopping skills are superb.”

"His nickname is Xiao Gaoqi."

"Oh, he's so strong, why does he look afraid of confrontation?"

"A clever edge pull!"

finally.

Beep! Beep!
The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Manchester City 4:1 Everton.

Gao Qi contributed two goals and one assist in the snowy night, making Manchester City fans feel the long-lost happiness.
