Six Hundred and Ninetieth Five, the Top of the Champions League

Christmas is approaching, but nothing is left to do.

In Europe, Christmas is like the Spring Festival in China.

After the last round of matches before Christmas, Manchester City began to adjust to a daily training, because the club has arranged a lot of activities, some of which are routine every year, such as players visiting the community, or going to urban areas or surrounding areas Visit children's hospitals, schools with more fans, etc.

These are things that European clubs do every year.

All the players in the first team will be divided into different groups and go to different destinations.

But this year is different from previous years.

Manchester City is now the defending champion of the Premier League. After winning the Premier League championship, the specifications of many things are different.

For example, this year, well-known British charities began to come to their door, hoping to cooperate with Manchester City.

This is actually a very meaningful thing, and it is also very helpful to improve the image and status of the club.

They specially held a charity dinner in Manchester, and will invite political and business celebrities from all walks of life to participate. Of course, Manchester City will be the main guest of the dinner, and there will also be media on the spot for filming and promotion.

There will also be a charity auction at the dinner, depending on the individual's willingness to participate.

Gao Shen took Manchester City up and down, uniformly dressed in formal attire to attend the charity dinner, and Gao Shen met his former favorite David Beckham at the charity dinner.

The two were reunited after a long absence, and they were very happy to meet each other.

Gao Shen also congratulated Beckham, who just won the BBC's Lifetime Achievement Award in London.

Although this award is not particularly authoritative, its influence is still quite large, which is enough to prove Beckham's status in British football and once again make him popular in the UK.

Beckham congratulated Gao Shen. During his time in charge of Manchester City, he won various awards in the Premier League and won the league title. Now the Premier League title this season is also a big favorite, and the Champions League also has a chance.

Just two days ago, at the UEFA round of 16 knockout draw ceremony, Manchester City drew Lyon in Ligue 1.

"You know, for Real Madrid, Lyon is a difficult opponent." Beckham said with a heart.

Real Madrid has suffered a lot from Lyon over the years.

Gao Shen smiled, but he felt that the lottery was not bad.

Finally, the first place in the group that he worked so hard to win was not in vain.

"Are you planning to return to Europe to play football again?" Gao Shen asked with concern.

Beckham nodded, "There has been contact all the time, you know, I can still play for a long time."

Sometimes, Gao Shen wondered, did Beckham regret going to the MLS?

Maybe sometimes, but probably not most of the time.

From the perspective of career, this should be regarded as a bad decision, but from the perspective of life, this is another very successful choice, God knows whether it is right or wrong?

"By the way, are you interested in tonight's auction?" Beckham asked, pointing to the charity auction items on the stage.

These are auction items donated by some celebrities, and all auction proceeds will be donated to charity.

In fact, they are all gadgets, and Beckham donated a pair of his own paintings.

God knows, when did Beckham, who is good at football, learn how to draw?

Before that, charity organizations also found Gao Shen, hoping that he would write a piece of Chinese calligraphy, but Gao Shen himself knew, how could his calligraphy be seen by others?

Speaking of practicing calligraphy since childhood,

That still has to be Su Qing.

His fiancée's calligraphy is really good. In the past, many people in the community asked Su Qing for help when writing Spring Festival couplets.

She also specially bought a book of Spring Festival couplets, and copied from the book every time, which made her even more likable in the community.

"I just like that jigsaw puzzle." Gao Shen pointed to one of the oil painting jigsaw puzzles on the stage.

This jigsaw puzzle was jointly drawn by a well-known avant-garde artist couple, and it has been disrupted. What is displayed in the frame is a photo. If you want to show the original painting, you have to put the jigsaw puzzle together.

Gao Shen remembers that Su Qing has nothing to do on weekdays, and she really likes to fight.

"Good luck then!" Beckham laughed.

...

The atmosphere of the charity auction was very good and relaxed, and everyone came with the mentality of playing games.

For example, Beckham's painting was photographed for a high price of 15,000 pounds.

But Gao Shen felt that this painting was definitely not Beckham's meticulous masterpiece, he probably just graffitied casually, and it didn't have the taste of abstraction mentioned by the host.

Is it possible that Beckham is still a painting genius buried in football?

The profound puzzles are really not up for grabs. It is estimated that none of the wealthy people present have the patience to put together this one-meter-high painting. The key is that it is really a waste of time.

Therefore, Gao Shen went smoothly and took it down with a reserve price of 2,000 pounds.

Afterwards, the two artist couples came over to chat with Gao Shen for a while, mainly to thank Gao Shen for taking photos of their paintings, and at the same time they left contact information for each other, saying that they would have more opportunities to contact each other in the future.

In terms of fame, Gao Shen is now the most famous celebrity in the UK, and even in the whole of Europe, and he is not the kind of person who relies on his face to make a living.

Of course, Gao Shen also cooperated with the promotion, and sent a few tweets in one night, so let's help out with charity at that time.

Unsurprisingly, on the second day, Beckham's paintings and the jigsaw puzzles photographed by Gao Shen immediately became the focus of attention of major newspapers, especially the paintings photographed by Gao Shen, the artist couple also followed suit and became famous Significantly.

After the media hype, collectors immediately expressed their willingness to buy Gao Shen's painting at double the price.

This makes Gao Shen a little incomprehensible. Is it true that all works of art are hyped up like this?

Is it too good to earn a little?

...

After the charity auction, Manchester City's activities have not stopped.

The annual Christmas dinner is held in Carrington.

Last year, the team won the second half of the championship with a complete victory. So far this season, they have only tied one game. The record is quite outstanding. Therefore, Manchester City has also carefully prepared and specially created a theme called Christmas Funny Party.

What do you mean?

That is, everyone can dress up to their heart's content. Those who dare not wear or do things on weekdays can now do it, including women's clothing, and the club has also invited some experts in this field to serve the players. The elaborate layout is eccentric, which fits the theme and atmosphere very well.

Needless to say, the club has invested enough capital this time.

There are professionals here, and the players are all young people. Of course, it is extremely funny.

So, what Super Mario, Cyclops, Captain Jack, Harry Potter, etc. are nothing, some people turned into Avatar, and played those villains in horror movies...

Gao Shen himself didn't know when the players had already gambled in private, but Yaya Toure was forced to appear on the stage in a maid outfit, which immediately blinded everyone's eyes and caused the most excitement in the audience sensation.

Even the female relatives at the party screamed and cheered for Yaya Toure's appearance.

Naturally, Gao Shen was also assigned a task. He was originally dressed like Xu Wenqiang in Shanghai Bund, but in the end, these bastards had to fix him with a coquettish pink scarf and big coquettish yellow glasses. It makes him look very big-eyed and cute, and his appearance is as weird as it is.

None of the other coaches, not even the front office, was spared, and they were all spoofed.

The funniest thing is Brian Kidd, an old man in his sixties, wearing a set of thin white pajamas, the scene can be imagined.

However, because of the spoof, the atmosphere at the scene was very warm.

Mubarak appeared in the image of Santa Claus. On behalf of the management, he distributed red envelopes to every player and coach. At the same time, on behalf of Mansour, he encouraged everyone to make persistent efforts and hoped to see the team Continue to win the Premier League and get better results in the Champions League.

According to the usual practice, Gao Shen still presented everyone with a well-prepared gift, all of which were prepared by Su Qing in China and sent to the UK, which had very Chinese characteristics.

Gao Shen also took the stage to express his gratitude to the players, coaches, staff, and management. At the same time, he also expressed with confidence that he firmly believes that with the strength of Manchester City, there is a chance to achieve results in the Champions League. of.

"In the past six games in the group stage, I believe that everyone has already had a preliminary impression of the Champions League."

"Of course, I have to remind everyone that the competition in the knockout round is more brutal and difficult than in the group stage, and the pressure will be greater. But after the group stage, I believe you all know it well."

"We are by no means the kind of big players who participated in the Champions League for the first time. On the contrary, we have the strength to surprise everyone!"

"It's not easy to achieve this goal, it requires each of us to work together and maintain absolute focus!"

"I believe that as long as we work hard to play every game well, we will definitely have a chance to stand on top of the Champions League!"

Everyone at the scene was excited.

Although they were all used as makeup, the profound words made each of them shine brightly in their eyes.

Professional players, who doesn't want to win the Champions League?

Gao Shen came to Manchester City because he wanted to win the Champions League; when players joined Manchester City, they also wanted to win the Champions League in addition to high salaries; Mubarak and other management wanted the Champions League most.

The Premier League title has already been won once. What Manchester City wants this season is not only the Premier League, but also the Champions League.

No one knows what the result will be, but this does not prevent Gao Shen from calling out this goal to his players!

As who said, if you don't even dare to set your goals there, how can you accomplish anything?

Judging from the positive reactions of the players and the scene, Gao Shen knew in his heart that everyone had the same goal.

At least the current Manchester City is still full of cohesion!

Manchester City's goals are clear, but lofty goals are still being sought.

Lucas has been extremely busy in the past two months, and it happened that during the two-day Christmas holiday, Gao Shen and him could sit down and talk about the latest progress.
