Nine and a half

Chapter 231 The Second Round Begins (Daily Transition)

The Premier League schedule is becoming increasingly dense.

Fortunately, Manchester City has sufficient bench depth, and Pellegrini specially let Gao Qi rest in order to prepare for the second round of the Champions League knockout round.

weekend.

Premier League match day.

Manchester City's rotated squad arrived in the London Borough of Fulham to challenge Queens Park Rangers.

两家俱乐部的交手中，诞生过许多经典的场面：1993年足球历史上令人疑惑的20秒；2012年的128秒两球，93分20秒绝杀夺冠。

Loftus Road Stadium.

Queens Park Rangers gave Manchester City a good beating.

The game ended in a 2-2 draw.

Studio.

There was a howl of ghosts and wolves.
-
【Match-fixed! 】
-
[This game can even be a draw! The Premier League is too bad, I won’t play it anymore. ]
-
[It’s Chinese New Year, but I still can’t win any money. 】
-
[Don't play the Premier League, this season Juventus, Benfica, Alkmaar, Changchun Yatai, Aberdeen are the most stable, the king of the plate! ]
-
【Manchester City must have deliberately given points to Queen's Park! 】
-
[It is understandable that there are no weak teams in the Premier League, and it may be difficult for any team in the future to replicate Wenger's Arsenal's "unbeaten gold cup" achievement. ]

The words are divided into two parts.

Gao Qi was invited by the Italian Football Association to come to the Coverciano training base in the suburbs of Florence, Italy.

Mancini excitedly gave his former disciple a hug.

During the Chinese star's third season in Rome, Mane honed his forward and number ten skills day and night.

"Long time no see, Gao!"

"You know what this place is, right? The coach's cradle."

"I took courses here with Baggio, Gattuso, Pirlo, Maradona, Cannavaro, Zidane and Batistuta."

While walking.

Mancini introduced.

“You should take coaching courses as early as possible.”

Gao Qi looked around and suddenly remembered that this was also the training base of the Italian national team.

Mount Fiesole in the distance is full of spring.

The sunshine and breeze washed away the fatigue brought from Manchester.

He said subconsciously: "I never thought about becoming a coach after retirement."

Old Man was stunned and exclaimed: "Oh! That's such a waste of talent. What do you want to do if you don't want to be a coach? Be a commentator like Henry? Or like Ronaldinho?"

Gao Qi shook his head: "I may still be able to play for another 20 years. It's too early to talk about retirement now."

There are no books or teaching materials for Coverciano's coaching courses.

Students must undergo 192 hours of training and submit a thesis before they can graduate.

Gao Qi walked around accompanied by staff from the Italian Football Association.

while walking.

Everyone stopped outside a classroom window.

A weathered and slightly sharp voice came from inside: "Every change has its victims."

"In the 1994 World Cup, the whole world knew that it was me who made the 'free man' disappear completely from football history."

"Who said that the 'libero' disappeared because the goalkeeper rules were changed? Go run ten laps around the playground right now!"

"Ok."

"At that time I had the best number nine and a half, Baggio."

"He is great, but I don't like him, but you have to remember that he will always be a hero for Italy."

"Number nine and a half is also going to disappear, Gao? Haha, he's only 23 years old, how could he disappear out of thin air?"

"I predict that in three or four years, he will definitely change the way he plays at the club."

"Where can we see the beautiful tactical model of the number nine and a half in the future? I think it will be the Chinese team, because the tactical concept of the national team is far behind that of the club these days. Which ambitious and creative coach is willing to coach the national team?"

The person standing on the stage and giving the lecture was none other than Coverciano's Emeritus Professor - Sacchi.

Mancini frowned and urged everyone to leave quickly.

Then he came close to Gao Qi and whispered, "This old man is old and can't control his mouth. Don't listen too much to his theories." Theory is one aspect.

Perhaps Sacchi is getting old, and his personality is becoming more and more like a child. He no longer cares about the "social customs" of Italy and will criticize anyone he catches.

Gao Qi smiled.

The crowd walked further and further away.

The weathered and sharp voice became smaller and smaller: "Reynolds, Maslov, Lobanovsky, Happel. I stand on the shoulders of giants."

Time is very tight.

A few days later.

The second leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout stage begins.

Etihad Stadium.

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

"Zhuangdianertai! Zhuangdianertai! Good evening, audience friends!"

"Now broadcasting live for you is the second leg of the 2014/15 Champions League round of ."

“Manchester City host Real Madrid.”

"In the first round, Gao Qi conquered the Bernabeu and helped the Blue Moon to take a two-goal lead and a huge advantage of four away goals!"

"Tonight the Galaxy Battleship must fight a desperate battle!"

"Hey? A close-up shot of the tunnel exit shows the two Manchester City mascots wearing Tang suits! Is the Etihad broadcast playing "Gong Xi Fa Cai"? "

Manchester City management worked hard to create the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year at home.

The two etiquette ladies at the exit of the passage also held red couplets.

Studio.
-
[On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, I can finally sit down and watch Gao Qi play! ]
-
【How can we lose at home? Manchester City must advance! 】
-
[It’s strange in the past two years. The home advantage of the five major leagues seems to have become smaller. You can see that those devil’s home stadiums are always beaten. ]
-
[Total score, how many goals does Real Madrid need to score to reverse the situation? 】

Pre-match press conference.

Pellegrini faced the camera and said in unfluent Chinese:
"May you be happy and prosperous!"

“Happy Chinese New Year!”

The media reporters all smiled.

Some people also spoke Chinese.

This season after signing the 1.5 million euro player, Manchester City has begun to pay special attention to the Chinese market, even more than Bayern Munich.

The other side.

Ancelotti also smiled.

He had come to Etihad with a resolute and desperate mentality, but was caught off guard by the joy.

"When he was coaching Paris Saint-Germain, Beckham told me about the wonderful things he saw in China."

"Great, great."

"Let's get back to the game. Real Madrid will not give up. Everything is possible on the pitch."

Player tunnel.

The Real Madrid team exudes a solemn atmosphere.

Every player had a serious expression.

The Galacticos fell behind too much in the first round. If they want to advance in the second round, they must beat Al-Ittihad!
There is no swell or pride in the Manchester City squad.

Joe Hart kissed the back of the glove lovingly.

Kompany showed no emotion.

We must do our best to resist Real Madrid's attack!

At the front of both teams, Gao Qi and C Luo looked into the distance with firm eyes.

[Ding! Mission triggered: Defend Etihad! ]

[Mission brief: Warning! Warning! Etihad is about to encounter a fierce bombardment from the Galaxy Battleships. The Real Madrid stars will not give up the game easily. They are determined to win. You must go all out to defend the dignity of the Blue Moon home court.]

[Mission Reward: Real Madrid Platinum Treasure Box. ]
