MM Racing Chapter 197
Chapter 197
The next day, the media was filled with news hyping about the results of the draw.
And this seems to be the first time this season that Manchester City have not been the protagonist and the center.
No way, who let Manchester City's opponents not give a boost.
Everyone talks about Barca vs Chelsea, Arsenal vs Bayern, or Milan vs Atletico...
Manchester City are also happy to be able to prepare for the next game, rather than being in the whirlpool of public opinion.
In midweek, Manchester City travelled Leicester City in the League Cup 14-final.
Although the schedule is extremely intense, Pellegrini, who does not want to lose any titles, still sent several main players in good physical condition to this game, supplemented by a rotating lineup, to attack strongly.
Xu Ning belongs to the part with poor physical fitness, and naturally has no chance to appear.
Whether he is physically good or not, Pellegrini thinks it is not good!
In terms of importance, the Carabao Cup is undoubtedly the least valuable of the four competitions of the season, and even if it is lost, it does not matter.
After all, oil tycoons don't spend so much money to win a League Cup alone.
Moreover, Leicester City's strength is just like that, and it is not enough for Manchester City to really go all out.
At least this season's Leicester City has not reached that height!
And the end result was that Manchester City got through the dangers.
Despite some twists and turns, even crises, goals from Sergio Aguero and substitute Yaya Toure helped City qualify for the semi-finals.
And then, in the Premier League game against Fulham at the weekend, Manchester City will not be so willful.
Almost all the main players played, easily defeated their opponents 4-0 and scored an indisputable victory.
Although Xu Ning only scored one goal, this goal was the goal that helped the team open the scoring goal.
It was precisely because of Xu Ning's goal that Fulham's defense collapsed, which shows the importance of Xu Ning.
After taking Fulham easily, it's Christmas.
However, this Christmas is destined to be devoid of atmosphere.
Although there is no match for Manchester City on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, on the evening of the 26th, Manchester City will play Liverpool at home.
Then, on the afternoon of the 28th, Manchester City will continue to welcome the challenge of Crystal Palace at home.
The interval between the two games is actually less than 248 hours!
Such a schedule is simply frustrating!
Manchester City CEO Soriano and manager Manuel Manuel Pellegrini have more than once publicly attacked the FA's unreasonable schedule, but this does not solve the real problem.
Actually, the FA is also very disturbing!
Who let you fight on the fourth front of Manchester City?
Even if you want to arrange a relaxed fixture for Manchester City, you can't do it!
That's true, as can be seen from City's failure to apply for an extension.
If the competitions coincide, or if the interval is too short, clubs can apply to the FA for an extension.
Generally, the FA will not disagree.
But now Manchester City themselves have not applied at all, which is enough to tell.
After all, the schedule will probably not be relaxed in the future.
It's better to grit your teeth now and get through it!
......
On Christmas Eve, the team still practiced in the morning and only had half a day off in the afternoon.
The players have no complaints, after all, that's their job.
And now that Manchester City are doing so well, it's clear that this season has the potential to make history and everyone is motivated.
Xu Ning didn't care.
In fact, in Xu Ning's home, the Christmas atmosphere has never been strong.
After all, Xu Hua is an authentic Chinese, a little old-fashioned, and has never been very cold to Christmas.
Even if her mother Martina is Portuguese and celebrates Christmas, there is really no festive atmosphere in front of Xu Hua.
It was as if this time, although Xu Hua and Martina were on holiday, they had no intention of coming to Manchester to spend the holidays with their son.
Speaking of which, Soriano talked to Xu Ning once before.
It means inviting Xu Hua to coach in the Manchester City Youth Academy, and Martina can work as a nutritionist in the Manchester City Youth Academy.
As for the annual salary, it is completely several times higher than in Schalke 04!
Such a high premium is obviously beyond the actual ability of Xu Hua and Martina.
The reason is obvious, it is to further woo Xu Ning.
If Xu Ning can always play for Manchester City, then Manchester City will always be the most favorable contenders for the title.
Even, Manchester City managers can be changed at will, but they can't do without Xu Ning.
So Soriano's plan is to deeply bind Xuning and Manchester City and become a true legend of Manchester City.
Just like Maldini is to Milan, Zanetti is to Inter, Totti is to Roma, Gerrard is to Liverpool...
One person, one city, this is the ultimate goal.
He believes that Manchester City's lack of heritage will disappear completely because of Xu Ning.
And how to deeply bind Xu Ning naturally requires multi-faceted operations.
To keep the real superstar, first of all, the team needs to be consistent.
Manchester City, invested by oil tycoons, hardly has to worry about this problem, after all, as long as there is no world war again and the world does not undergo major changes, the money of oil tycoons will continue to be invested in energy.
As long as you always keep giving Xu Ning a unique annual salary!
And in order to avoid Xu Ning's love of home, it was logical to bring Xu Ning's parents to Manchester.
Anyway, Xu Hua and Martina are football-related practitioners and can fully support the club.
Moreover, Xu Hua and Martina are also capable enough to work at Manchester City, which is not a worry at all.
It's just a little more salary, which is not a problem for Manchester City at all.
Even they have a longer-term plan, that is, after Xu Ning gets married and has children, the children will also enter the Manchester City training base and become the new generation of Manchester City....
Well, maybe a little far-sighted, but it's enough to prove how much importance Manchester City attach to Xu Ning.
Xu Ning was naturally willing to let his parents come to Manchester, although the air and weather in the UK were not very good, but in fact Germany was not good.
After chatting with his parents, the second elder was very moved.
It's just that Xu Hua is unwilling to give up halfway, after all, he still has Schalke 04's U19 youth team in his hands, and he must be responsible for these young players.
So his idea was to come to Manchester when he sent off this group of small players.
As for Martina, it must be a husband and wife, anyway, the young players of Schalke 04 are not starving to death without the nutritious meal she concocted!
Of course, they must also know why Manchester City insisted on inviting them sincerely.
Anyway, no matter where you work, just do your best!
If there is anything embarrassing, it is that they did not expect that one day they would actually get that incredibly high salary because of their son!
