After the match, Guardiola was interviewed by reporters.

"We won today's game, just like we have many times before. My players all performed well.

They did their best.

The score doesn't matter, nor does it truly reflect the strength of both sides.

Manchester City fans are very happy, and we are very honored to continue our unbeaten record.

We have been working hard and doing what we love with passion."

"We dominated the game in the first half, thanks to the players' focus. Zhao's performance was as good as ever.

Inconceivable, an unbelievable existence. I'm glad he's a member of Manchester City. If he were an opponent, I really wouldn't know how to deal with him."

"Would we rather face Borussia Dortmund or Barcelona?

Both teams are full of challenges. Borussia Dortmund is the most passionate team in Europe, and Barcelona has the strongest attacking combination in Europe, but we have to play two knockout games against Juventus first.

Juventus is a resilient team, and no one can guarantee a win against them.

And that's a long time from now, I don't want to discuss things that haven't happened yet."

As for Arsenal, at least officially, they didn't express any opinion on this defeat.

Only Wenger said a few words, believing that the loss was his own fault and had little to do with the players.

Arsenal fans have long been dissatisfied with the team's performance, and this huge and painful defeat directly caused a fan riot.

A large number of fans ran to Arsenal's official website to demand Wenger's resignation.

Some fans even rented drones to hang banners with the words "Wenger Out" appearing at Arsenal's training ground.

The team of fans denouncing Wenger is increasing every moment, which makes those old Arsenal fans very sad.

That lonely and persistent old man used his passion to build a glorious Arsenal, struggling to hold on to the top four in the Premier League and retain Arsenal's Champions League qualification.

Now, he has become the target of public criticism, which is unfair to Wenger.

In response to these events, Arsenal's management solemnly stated that they unconditionally believed that Wenger would revive Arsenal's glory and regain the honor that belonged to Arsenal.

…

All the media in Manchester reported on the result of this match.

It was an unexpected victory.

Everyone in Manchester knows that Manchester City is very strong now, especially in the league, where all the new players can play, making their lineup almost impeccable.

But no one expected it to be so strong.

Arsenal, who had previously been able to push Manchester City to the brink, collapsed at the first touch.

Many Manchester United fans even felt a little sad. The Gunners, who once competed with them for the championship and played beautiful football to the extreme, are now facing Manchester City, and the process and result are so unbearable.

Manchester United fans can best understand Arsenal's sadness and anger now.

To some extent, the fans of both teams are victims.

The abusive team is Manchester City.

And Manchester City fans are overjoyed, that's right!

In front of Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham, Everton, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Norwich City are all at the same level.

There used to be a saying that there are no weak teams in the Premier League.

This season, there are no strong teams in the Premier League! In front of Manchester City, everyone kneels down.

"Manchester City is invincible!!"

"Unbeaten!! An unbeaten season!"

"Two more rounds and we might win the championship! Manchester City, invincible!!"

"Zhao is simply a god, and he's only nineteen years old!"

"He will stay at Manchester City forever and become an invincible presence in Europe with Manchester City!!"

"I hope Zhao can maintain his physical fitness and not work too hard this time when he returns to China."

"Alas, it's difficult. He gave up England and Spain to play for Long Country..."

"I watched the World Cup qualifier against Qatar last time. Zhao was never so excited and thrilled after scoring a goal. It was even more crazy than his Europa League winner against Sevilla, his League Cup equalizer against Liverpool, and his Premier League thrashing of Manchester United and Arsenal...

That was an unprecedented glory for him..."

"He might die on the Long Country football field..."

"Long Country's football is already like that, why? I can't understand..."/

"Long Country football is indeed not good, and the Football Association also has terrible problems, but Long Country fans are just as pure. Zhao's football dream, his original intention, will always be in that national team.

We can think his choice is a bit silly, but definitely not stupid."

"Everyone has their own persistence, and it's amazing that he can pursue his dream."

Before Zhao Gang set off to return to China, Perrin found him.

Very straightforward, he received news that Cristiano Ronaldo would almost certainly leave Real Madrid next season.

Cristiano Ronaldo used his channels to get Messi's specific salary, which made him extremely angry.

And Florentino will definitely not agree to Cristiano Ronaldo's salary increase, and two proud people will definitely not give in.

In the end, Florentino will definitely not fire himself, and the one who leaves can only be Cristiano Ronaldo.

When the season is completely over, it will be time for Cristiano Ronaldo and Florentino to confront each other.

Cristiano Ronaldo is open to joining Manchester City.

"No, Cristiano Ronaldo has a huge fan base. He will indeed bring huge traffic to Manchester City and to me, but we have discussed this issue before. If he comes, he will be the boss of the team. Even if he is not the tactical core, everyone, including himself, will think that he is the boss of the team, which I cannot accept.

In the past, I didn't have the idea of ​​becoming the boss of the team myself, and I didn't want to have a boss on my head.

Now, I have changed my mind..." Zhao Gang stared at Perrin and said slowly, "I want to become the absolute tactical core and the boss of the team, whether on the field or in the locker room, I must be the biggest one."

Perrin's eyes almost popped out. He thought he knew Zhao Gang's character very well.

Zhao Gang's character, to put it nicely, is low-key and calm, but to put it bluntly, he is a bit soft, but also a bit proud.

Very contradictory, but very common.

He doesn't have the idea and ability to lead others, and he doesn't want to be a younger brother and be directed by others.

He would never say such a thing or do such a thing.

"Who...who has such great ability to convince you...Oh, Olly...What reason did she use to make you do such a difficult thing? This is not something that can be achieved naturally, not something you can do by scoring many goals on the field and providing many assists. This requires offending your teammates. If not handled properly, it will cause huge conflicts in the team, and this is not something you like to do."

"The national team," Zhao Gang gave the answer.

That chaotic national team needs a symbolic figure, someone who can say one thing and have everyone listen, someone who can take all the responsibilities on their shoulders.

In this process, some people with bad attitudes and dissatisfaction with him will try their best to slander his reputation.

Make him the target of public criticism.

Portray him as a mean and harsh bastard who doesn't know how to respect others or understand human relationships after gaining some ability.

Some people might even try to isolate him and obstruct him through various relationships.

But he has to do it.

He doesn't want to, but he has to go.

"I understand, this kind of responsibility should not be borne by a nineteen-year-old young man...But I am very pleased that you have this idea.

But you must not be too hasty." Perrin nodded, then thought again, "You said, if Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't fight for this boss position, is it possible for him to join Manchester City?"

"If he is not this boss, not this number one, he would not be him."

"Very reasonable, but who knows?" Perrin wanted to send Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester City by all means with Mendes.

Manchester City will be the beneficiary, Zhao Gang's exposure will explode geometrically, and he can work hard for a few years less.

And Manchester City can provide Cristiano Ronaldo with a very satisfactory salary and a highly competitive platform in Europe.

The cooperation between the two sides complements each other.

But now, if Manchester City wants to buy Cristiano Ronaldo, the most important thing is not Cristiano Ronaldo's opinion, nor the opinion of the two agents.

It's Zhao Gang's idea.

Cristiano Ronaldo is now, Zhao Gang is the future.

Manchester City's management and Guardiola can tell the difference.

Once Manchester City brings Cristiano Ronaldo in regardless of Zhao Gang's ideas, the disagreement between these two will cause huge problems for the thriving Manchester City.

A win-win situation that was originally a win-win for both sides will end up in a mess and hurt both sides, which no one wants to see.

When Zhao Gang and Olly boarded the plane back to China, Zhao Gang couldn't help but think about the possibility of him and Cristiano Ronaldo working together.

He will not go to Real Madrid. If Cristiano Ronaldo really leaves Real Madrid a year early and joins Manchester City, it seems like a very feasible path.

In Zhao Gang's original timeline, Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid after the World Cup and joined Juventus, but the two sides must have started contract renewal negotiations long ago, and they broke up after a long period of communication.

After joining Juventus, Cristiano Ronaldo still showed his high level, but both sides were somewhat uncomfortable. Juventus's performance declined seriously, and Cristiano Ronaldo completely lost the opportunity to compete for the Ballon d'Or.

If he comes to Manchester City, his scoring efficiency will definitely increase significantly, and the two stars will continue for a few more years.

If Cristiano Ronaldo has excellent adaptability, he may usher in another peak of his career at Manchester City.

In a few years, when he is old and retires naturally, Zhao Gang will also grow up completely in these years due to Cristiano Ronaldo's huge fan base, and is very likely to become the most influential player in football.

Manchester City, Cristiano Ronaldo, Zhao Gang.

This transfer will be a real win-win-win.

But...Cristiano Ronaldo's character and influence determine that he will not become the team's second-in-command.

Moreover, if Cristiano Ronaldo scores goals like crazy at Manchester City, he will definitely suppress Zhao Gang for several years in a row and become the most dazzling one at Manchester City.

Even if Zhao Gang performs supernaturally on the field, it is impossible to overshadow the influence that Cristiano Ronaldo has accumulated for more than ten years.

"What are you thinking about? Little Zhao?" Olly blinked her big eyes and gently held Zhao Gang's hand.

"There is a star you like very much who may join Manchester City next season. Manchester City, Perrin, including that star, are open to it.

Perrin specifically asked for my opinion."

"Cristiano Ronaldo????" Olly's beautiful big eyes were full of surprises and little stars.

"Don't you also like Messi? How are you so sure it's Cristiano Ronaldo?"

"Messi is Barcelona's own son, how could he leave? It's normal for Cristiano Ronaldo and Florentino to have problems!"

When Zhao Gang heard this sentence, he suddenly laughed, almost crying.

Olly was frightened. Looking at Zhao Gang's appearance, it seemed...the meaning seemed to be that Messi was coming to Manchester City?

How terrifying would that be?

It's not the coming to Manchester City that's terrifying, but leaving Barcelona, ​​that's too scary.

Messi is the symbol of Barcelona, ​​they have achieved each other, everyone knows that Messi will retire at Barcelona.

How could he possibly leave Barcelona?

"No way? It can't be? It can't be Messi, right?"

"Of course not."

"Then why are you laughing like this?"

Zhao Gang shook his head. Even Messi thought he would die in Barcelona, ​​but he still left crying in the end.

Even Barcelona's chairman actually deceived him, used his influence, and finally kicked him out.

Zhao Gang sighed. He felt that on this point, he might take the same path as Messi.

Maybe one day, he will be expelled from the national team for some reason.

But just like Messi will always deeply love Barcelona, ​​he also deeply loves the fans of Long Country.

Even if he is really expelled in the end, when the national team needs him, he will still go back.

Not for those hypocritical, suited office workers.

But for his own feelings and the expectations of the fans.

"It is indeed Cristiano Ronaldo." Zhao Gang sorted out his emotions and gently squeezed Olly's little hand.

Olly suddenly became excited, then blinked her eyes and frowned again.

Olly's intelligence really far exceeds her peers.

She realized the problem.

It was she who made Zhao Gang take responsibility and become the boss of the team, and now she certainly knows the crux of the problem.

If it were Messi, this situation would definitely not occur.

There is no good or bad, high or low distinction, this is just that the personality determines the way the two people handle things.

"If Cristiano Ronaldo condescends to recognize you, a nineteen-year-old player, as the boss, he would not be the Champions League king with hundreds of millions of fans. So...as long as you don't let go, he won't come." Olly pouted, a little regretful that she couldn't see Zhao Gang and Cristiano Ronaldo as teammates.

If it were realized, what a world-famous painting it would be.

"Should I take a step back?"

"Of course not. You have already come to this point, and you have finally persevered. No one can stop you. You are the only boss of the team, whether it is the national team or the club. Everyone has to listen to your command. Except for the head coach, no one can order you to do anything." Olly held Zhao Gang's right hand with both hands, very firmly.

Zhao Gang nodded, then it's settled.

He got off the plane directly in Lianhai. Zhao Ziyou came to pick him up alone, and Jiang Ping stayed at home.

Jiang Ping barely accepted this daughter-in-law.

It's just that the ideologies of the two sides are not the same, otherwise, with this appearance and this figure, Jiang Ping would definitely agree a hundred times.

The father and son were silent again, not saying much.

Olly kept chattering and communicating with Zhao Ziyou.

In Jiang Ping's view, it was extremely unacceptable to communicate so enthusiastically with her future father-in-law.

She would think that this girl's personality is too open.

When they got home, they only stayed for one night. The next day, Zhao Gang had to rush to Changsha to participate in the team's training camp.

Welcoming the two most important games in the third stage.

The first game will be on March 23, against the Taegeuk Warriors of the Korean team.
