After the management made the final decision, Chinatown officially returned to Atletico Madrid, who immediately arranged a negotiation team headed by hill to contact Amando Marcos to discuss the transfer of Schneiderlin.
At the same time, technical director Carlos cantarello also started the winter break transfer and recruitment plan, striving to win the number one recruitment target before Christmas, allowing him to come to the team ahead of time to participate in training and preparation, and integrate into the team faster.
All this is done without the outside world's knowledge, except for the parties.
Since there is no match in the middle of the week, everyone is aiming at the 12th round of La Liga this weekend.
China city will welcome Valencia at home, which will also be a tough fight.
Bat team this season's strength is not strong, but under the guidance of emery, the results are quite good, this game away from butak stadium, challenge younger brother bochetino, emery is undoubtedly not small pressure.
The two teams are well prepared and play cautiously at the beginning, but Chinatown is young after all and has made mistakes early.
Valencia on the right side of Huajin in the 21st minute of a breakthrough in the side, tearing the left side of Chinatown, after the pass by Adulis, the first score.
After that, the two teams entered a fast-paced offensive and defensive battle. China City beat Valencia, but failed to open the bat team's goal until Marcos Senna's assist in the 73rd minute of the second half made obamayan level the score.
In the end, the two sides drew one to one.
China city's number one scorer, michu, was closely watched by Valencia in this game. He was mediocre and didn't play well. He didn't score at the end of the game.
On the contrary, in another game, Barcelona beat Villarreal 5-2 away. Messi scored a hat trick and offered two assists to help Barcelona beat the home team and win the precious three points.
With three goals, Messi also successfully reversed michu, top La Liga scorer list.
After leading for two or three months, michu finally retired from the scorer list.
In another game, Real Madrid beat Bilbao 5-1 at home. Diego Costa and Higuain scored twice. Higuain, in particular, is constantly narrowing the gap between themselves and michu in the scorer list.
But for the Spanish local scorer, the media and fans also have a high evaluation, that can have such a performance in China City, michu has proved his strength and characteristics, lost to Messi such a superstar, he should not be ashamed, but should be proud of the performance before the start of the season.
However, in Chinatown, especially before the high cold, it was mentioned that with the deepening of the season, all Spanish teams will pay more and more attention to michu's defense, which will make michu's goal more and more difficult, so the coaching staff need to fully consider the situation michu is facing and give help when formulating tactics.
Bochettino also found this problem, especially after michu's amazing performance, the scoring efficiency in recent rounds has obviously declined, which proves that the La Liga team has more and more experience in defending michu. If China city wants to keep the sharp knife, it must make appropriate adjustments.
At the same time of the 1-1 draw with Valencia in the main match of Chinese city, after a week's rest, Manchester City led by Gao Han also went south to challenge Fulham at the weekend.
This is the 14th round of the Premier League.
Due to the home match against AC Milan in the middle of the week, Gao Han took turns in this match. Sabaleta, who was entrusted by Gao Han, started for Xabi Alonso, but Cristiano Ronaldo, who has a strong desire to score, continued to lead the team.
As a result, Cristiano Ronaldo took the lead in scoring just six minutes after receiving an assist from Modric.
In the 32nd minute, sabaleta scored a goal to enlarge the score again.
Three minutes later, Adam lalana went to the next city, 3-0.
In the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo scored again after receiving an assist from sabareta in the 53rd minute, expanding the score to 4-0.
The Portuguese showed a frenzy of scoring in the near future, never losing to Spain's Lionel Messi.
After 60 minutes, Gao Han replaced several players including Portuguese superstars for the Champions League game in the middle of the week. Fulham also took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and sneak a goal in the 70th minute.
In the end, Manchester City beat Fulham 4-1 away and scored three points again.
For Manchester City's goal win, media reporters and fans have long been used to it. On the contrary, everyone is more concerned about the goal fight between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and who is more likely to win the first FIFA golden ball award.
The two players seem to have the idea of fighting for this. Decibel has sounded the clarion call of goal wars in both La Liga and the Premier League. Messi has staged a hat trick and offered two assists in this round, but Cristiano Ronaldo is not bad either. He has opened two goals and one assist. The fighting methods of the two superstars have attracted the attention of fans all over the world.

…………
It was drizzling in Manchester and the temperature was very low.
AC Milan coach Alegre stood in front of the coach of the visiting team at the city stadium, his hands wearing thick gloves, but he still felt cold from the bottom to the top, which made him want to shiver.
It's the fifth round of the group stage of the Champions League and it's also a life and death battle for AC Milan.
Everyone can see that it is difficult for the Rossoneri to break out of the group match this season. It is only a possibility in theory, but in real life, no one is willing to or dare to pierce the last layer of window paper.
More than 2000 AC Milan fans follow the team to the away game. Their only wish is to see the team show their last courage and fight with Manchester City to the end. Even if they can't beat their opponents, they should at least take away the dignity of the team.
But the reality is often very cruel, just as more than 2000 visiting fans are soon submerged in the sea of tens of thousands of home fans, AC Milan are soon submerged in the storm of Manchester City.
In the opening six minutes, Sanchez faced Jankulovski on the right side one by one. With a change of direction and acceleration, he easily broke through the defense of the other side. In the case of no defense, he easily passed the ball to the back point. It was Cristiano Ronaldo, who was also no one to mark, who easily scored from the front.
One to zero, Manchester City's first record!
This goal let AC Milan into a dilemma, Allegri's team began to launch a crazy counterattack, but the cunning Alpine began to defend the counterattack, frequently seize the opportunity to create a threat.
Especially in the 34th minute, it was Sanchez's high-speed start on the right that once again threw away jankulovsky's defense. Facing Tiago Silva, who was quick to fill the position, the Chilean winger cleverly scored the ball and left the Italian centre back behind, completely crushing AC Milan's defense.
But this beautiful attack failed to create a threat. After Sanchez sent the ball into the penalty area, Benzema grabbed the first point. He wanted to control the ball and adjust his foot again. Although Nesta was no longer in the peak state, he had excellent defensive consciousness and stabbed the ball away in time, destroying another attack of Manchester City.
Only four minutes later, there was another attack from the right side. Sanchez failed to break through jankulovsky this time, but he passed back to Mascherano. The Argentinian directly picked the left side of the front line of the penalty area. Cristiano Ronaldo forced Nesta to head the ball back to the middle. Benzema deliberately let out a leak and Modric grabbed the ball behind him.
The Croatian midfield stopped the ball with his right foot and swung it with his left foot when there was almost no one to defend. It was a curving shot and the ball went straight into AC Milan's goal, 2-0!
Two goals behind, a great blow to AC Milan, especially the team's defense encountered considerable problems.
However, Allegri didn't change players at half-time. Instead, he gave up completely in the second half and wanted to score a goal. But in the end, he was again and again taken into the penalty area by Manchester City.
In the 54th minute, Sanchez suddenly entered the penalty area and was pulled down by AC Milan's defensive midfield Seedorf, but the referee didn't give a penalty and AC Milan escaped.
But in the 79th minute, after Modric broke the ball in the middle, David Silva instigated a counterattack to pick and pass behind the defense line, Benzema pulled to the left to catch the ball, forced to break through Nesta with speed, and picked and pass the back point.
Sanchez stormed right, grabbed the ball in front of the baseline and then crossed the middle. Cristiano Ronaldo followed suit and pushed the ball straight into the net, rewriting the score to 3-0!
Continuous goals make AC Milan completely confused.
But Alegre stood on the sidelines, his mind was unusually clear.
In the case of inferior skills, when he played against Manchester City and Real Madrid before, he did not arrange Pirlo to play. As a result, he brought him a lot of criticism, so he simply listened to the opinions of the outside world and let Pirlo, Seedorf, Gattuso, Ambrosini and Boateng play at the same time. But what was the result?
Single striker Pato did nothing and made no contribution in the whole game. There were five players in the midfield. It seemed that there were a lot of people, but in fact it didn't work at all. The front of the restricted area couldn't be prevented at all.
Professional football seems very complex, but in fact it is very simple, relying on strength to speak.
In the past, AC Milan in the period of Ancelotti could play well with Pirlo, because the team had a group of outstanding players from the front to the back. Gattuso, Ambrosini and Seedorf were all in the peak period. There were Kaka, Inzaghi and Shevchenko in the front court, which made the other side's defenders scared.
But now?
By young Pato? Or old Gattuso, Seedorf, jankulovsky, Nesta and others?
In contrast to Manchester City, there are superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Sanchez and Kaka in the front court. These players don't need to do anything at all. They just need to go to the court for one stop. The other side has to leave at least five people in the back court to defend. They even have to worry about the whole game.
Therefore, the cold midfield can line up the combination of David Silva, Modric and Xavi Alonso.
But can other teams?
If the front court does not have these individual ability superexcellent player, Gao Han can discharge this kind of combination in the midfield?
On the court, the game has been decided, but Alegre has a sense of revenge in his heart.
He just wants to show everyone whether he can't or whether AC Milan's team can't.
Of course, he also knows that if he loses this game, he will certainly be criticized after the game, but he really has no way, his skill is inferior to others, and he has tried his best.
