I don't just score goals

After Hao Qiang completed his contract extension with Manchester City, he took his family back to China.

It's just that they separate the lines.

Family is a line.

Hao Qiang took a detour to Bhutan in Asia.

The Asian qualifiers for the World Cup begin.

The AFC has adjusted the competition format.

In the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team started from the first group stage.

It is estimated that the AFC is trying every means to benefit the football federations of various countries.

Playing in the group stage, there are many games, regardless of tickets, broadcasts, increased exposure, etc., it can allow many weak teams to earn some extra money.

Although the weaker teams earn less, it is better than nothing.

In previous years, a team like Bhutan would be able to withdraw from the competition by playing a round of home and away knockout matches before the second stage of the group stage.

In the group stage this year, we can play 8 games at least.

If you play 4 home games, you can collect the ticket price for 4 games.

June 16th.

The Chinese team has been preparing for the match in Bhutan for five days. On the evening of the match day, the players, coaches and other staff came down from the hotel rooms to the lobby to board the bus to the stadium.

Wu Lei unexpectedly saw Hao Qiang sitting in the lobby seating area.

"Brother Qiang!"

Others also saw Hao Qiang.

Immediately his face lit up and he stepped forward to say hello.

"Brother Qiang, why are you here?"

"Yes, aren't you taking a break?"

"Not long after the Champions League final, why did you come to Bhutan?"

"Don't you trust us? Other opponents dare not say that, but in Bhutan we will definitely not overturn."

Hao Qiang greeted everyone.

"It's nothing. I won't go out to play this year anyway. I will make a detour here to cheer you on on my way back home."

Gao Hongbo nodded to Hao Qiang, and then everyone boarded the bus to the competition venue.

The national football team's match against Bhutan will definitely have no ratings.

But the breaking news is that Hao Qiang returned to the team and was included in the game squad.

This has made countless Chinese football fans interested again, and they are looking for ways to watch the live broadcast of the game.

Hao Qiang made the roster, but did not appear in the starting lineup.

He didn't say it, but he was still full of responsibility.

He spent all his energy to make a detour to Bhutan and sit on the team's bench. If the situation is crisis and someone needs to come to the rescue, he will be useful.

When the game started, many spectators did see Hao Qiang on the bench.

Although the national football team has Hao Qiang on the bench as a backup, many people still feel that Hao Qiang is making a fuss out of a molehill.

A little Bhutan.

Isn't it easy for them to win?

Well, it doesn't look like it.

Seeing that the first half of the game is coming to an end, the national football team has been unable to start the game.

The game situation is clear at a glance.

The national football team suppressed Bhutan and bombed them indiscriminately.

The difference in strength is clear at a glance.

But it only blossomed but did not bear fruit, which made the fans very dissatisfied.

"Except for Hao Huang, no one in the national football team can score a goal!"

"Hey, let's make a substitution quickly and let Hao Huang go up and score the goal."

"This is a Bhutanese horse. Is it really impossible to win it without Hao Huang?"

The referee is preparing to blow the half-time whistle.

The Chinese team scored a goal.

Yang Xu's goal finally gave the national football players a reassurance.

During halftime, Hao Qiang did not enter the locker room.

He moves around the court and moves his body.

Not used to sitting on the bench.

With Yang Xu's goal, the national football team leads Bhutan 1:0.

When the ball was not conceded, Bhutan was united.

After conceding the goal, Bhutan collapsed.

Yang Xu scored a hat trick, Yu Dabao scored twice, and Wu Lei added the icing on the cake.

The national football team swept Bhutan 6:0 away from home.

Hao Qiang didn't appear for even a minute.

After the game, he returned home with the team.

The first stage of the group stage is not too difficult.

In addition to Bhutan, there are also Qatar, Maldives, and China Port City.

The Chinese team and Qatar are the favorites to qualify.

The other three teams are all accompanying runners.

In this group, it will be difficult to overturn.

After the first round of games, the next round of the national football team will be in September.

After returning to China, Hao Qiang went home to rest for two days.

Later, accompanied by the team, he attended the opening ceremony of the "Five Hundred Cities, Thousands of Games" stadium.

Naturally, a stadium was also built in his hometown.

On the day of the unveiling ceremony, Hao Qiang wore fresh and fashionable casual clothes because there would be media coverage throughout the event.

Therefore, the six golden flowers hide behind the scenes and do not show up.

Afraid of being suspected by the outside world.

Domestic reports have been overwhelming and widespread.

Countless fans praised it and registered as 500city members early.

All the ideas that Hao Qiang’s team had brainstormed have become reality.

This also attracted a lot of sponsorship.

Members can reserve court usage time online.

The joining of many sponsors has also put the amateur cup competition on the schedule. Once the registration conditions are met and a sufficient number of teams sign up, the cup competition will also be officially organized by 500city.

The app brings together fans and football enthusiasts from all over the country.

According to Tang Yitong's vision, in addition to managing and operating these thousands of golf courses, this app will also focus on operating the user ecosystem.

For example, Hao Qiang's personal brand products can be purchased in the app, and some other brands have also contacted them hoping to jointly develop and cooperate to sell branded goods directly into the app.

Hao Qiang doesn't care about this, but all aspects of affairs are already in full swing.

Opening ceremony today.

The small stadium looks exquisite and practical. The stands surrounding the stadium can only accommodate less than 10,000 people, but it turned out to be a packed scene.

Many fans from all over the country came here to witness it.

What surprised Hao Qiang was that Zheng Zhi also came to the scene with many teammates from the national team.

Hao Qiang and Zheng Zhi looked at each other and smiled.

"No need to compete?"

The Chinese Super League has not suspended play.

Zheng Zhi smiled heartily.

"Hao Huang is so generous and courageous. This day has a milestone significance in the Chinese football circle. Of course I will come to help you. Although I am not as popular as you, I still have to do my best."

Hao Qiang naturally accepts everyone who comes.

Wu Lei, Huang Bowen and Feng Xiaoting also smiled and nodded.

They are not here to gain glory or gain attention, they really hope to increase Hao Qiang's popularity.

Hao Qiang took the stage to speak, and his speech was very simple and simple.

The essential starting point for building these stadiums has nothing to do with Chinese football.

There is no point in elevating everything related to football that happens on domestic soil to the level of "Chinese football".

We just hope that football fans can have a convenient and comfortable place to play football.

People of all ages, from children to adults, can come and play football at his stadium.

He never thought that Maradona or Pele would be kicked out of this "wild stadium". If he thought too much, it would only be a burden.

He thought, so he did it.

in other words.

Rich and willful.

Initially, the plan was essentially to invest a lot of money in order to give back to the fans for their support over the years.

Let them know that the idol they support is not a penniless miser.

Now I find that not only will these investments pay off, but if done well, there will be huge returns.

Hao Qiang certainly does not expect to make profits from it.

He pockets close to one billion every year, so he doesn't care too much about it.

If these courses really have excess returns in operation, the team's plan is also to give back to members, such as reducing venue usage fees for members, adding more games, increasing game prizes, and investing in charity.

When Hao Qiang was speaking, the fans who came to the scene applauded non-stop.

Zheng Zhi and others took photos and simultaneously promoted them on social platforms.

They want simple and crude courtesy.

But I also know that this is not appropriate.

After the opening ceremony, Hao Qiang accepted interviews with the media alone.

Let’s briefly talk about 500city’s plans and future development ideas.

I was busy until evening before I had any free time.

Invite your national team teammates to have dinner together.

Then he went home for a vacation.

European football is in turmoil and summer transfers are in full swing.

The situation within the Premier League has not changed much.

Arsenal brought in Petr Cech, who had lost his starting position at Chelsea.

Chelsea makes a small fuss.

Baba Rahman is worth 21 million, Pedro is worth 21 million, and Begovic is worth 8 million. The other signings are less than 5 million, and there are no shocking names.

Liverpool also received a generous transfer fee after losing Sterling.

He is ruthless when it comes to shopping for goods in the transfer market.

Benteke for 32.5 million, Firmino for 29 million, Klein for 12.5 million, Milner on a visa-free basis.

There is an overall investment, but it is not huge. After all, most of the signing costs were obtained by selling Sterling in exchange.

Manchester City's neighbors, Manchester United, have continued their spree in the transfer market from last year.

Obviously the Glazer family is still determined to restore Manchester United's glory. For the boss, paying money is a manifestation of determination, and everything else is nonsense.

Di Maria, who proved to be a huge import, couldn't wait to escape Old Trafford and go to Paris Saint-Germain.

Manchester United subsequently introduced Martial for 36 million, Schneiderlin for 25 million, Depay for 25 million, veteran Schweinsteiger for 15 million, and Damian for 14.4 million.

As for other teams that are expected to hit the top four, Tottenham's investment is not huge.

Pochettino cleaned out a group of players in exchange for cash and then brought in some more players.

Son Heung-min is worth 22 million, Alderweireld is worth 11.5 million, Njie is worth 10 million, Trippier is worth 3.5 million, and Wimer is worth 4.3 million.

Can't make too big a splash.

Although it seems that there are no shocking new names in the Premier League.

However, the top 20 spent more than 800 million in the transfer market, which was also the most among the five major European leagues.

It is also difficult for other leagues to see transfers that shock European football.

Even the La Liga duo, who always like to be the protagonists, went silent this summer.

...

Mid July.

Hao Qiang returned to Manchester.

Summer preparations are about to begin and he will return to the team on time.

Everything at home is in order.

He also completed all commercial endorsement contracts during his vacation.

The work on Six Golden Flowers has come to an end for the time being.

Hao Qiang then forced them to travel, relax, and spend time with their families, without having to surround him all day long.

Especially when he starts preparing for the summer, he will be fully focused again.

On the first day of training and preparations, Hao Qiang drove to the training base.

The security guard who opened the door took the initiative to greet him.

"Hao Huang, long time no see, cheers for the new season!"

Hao Qiang lowered the window and nodded with a smile.

He entered the training base with the front foot, and Aguero arrived with the back foot.

The two met in the parking lot and saw that Aguero was not wearing a mask. Hao Qiang patted his hands and carefully observed his face, becoming suspicious.

"It seems that even the scars are not obvious. Have you had another surgery?"

Aguero grinned.

"Well, beauty."

"Plastic surgery?"

"Well, it's different. I haven't changed my facial features."

Hao Qiang laughed.

But I don’t think it’s strange either.

After all, stars like them, no matter how hard it sounds, still rely on their reputation to make a living.

After all, image rights can also bring high income.

The two came to the locker room, quickly changed their clothes, and greeted other teammates.

There were many newcomers to the team, and Otamendi took the initiative to chat with Demichelis, Aguero and Zabaleta.

Are they all fellow Argentinians?

Sterling exchanged words with Joe Hart casually.

Hao Qiang had almost finished changing his sneakers and was tying his shoelaces when Kompany suddenly came to him. Hao Qiang looked up. Kompany sat down next to him and put his arms around his shoulders. He pointed at the wardrobe in No. 17.

side.

"That's our new aid, and he's also from the Belgian national team. His name is Kevin De Bruyne. He's about the same age as you. The young man is a bit shy and introverted. Please take care of him."

Hao Qiang was really surprised when the captain spoke.

He looked towards De Bruyne. De Bruyne did look a little introverted, not as open-minded as Otamendi or Sterling.

Hao Qiang noticed that De Bruyne was also looking at him, so he nodded and smiled.

De Bruyne's face was a little red and he seemed nervous.

Hao Qiang couldn't laugh or cry.

"Why is he blushing?"

Kompany shrugged.

"As I said, the young man is a little shy. Maybe he feels very uneasy when seeing a superstar like you."

Hao Qiang scoffed at this.

"Come on, look at Otamendi and Sterling, why didn't they blush when they saw me?"

Kompany lowered his voice and said: "Otmendi certainly won't. I can imagine his mood. Being in the same team with you means that at least he won't face you in the game, right?

As for Sterling? That kid, like other English players, has a high self-esteem and seems to be naturally superior to others."

Hao Qiang hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing.

Do black people think this way?

Maybe it's only in English football.

The account book is worth thousands of gold.

"Believe me, he is very powerful."

Kompany glanced at De Bruyne again, then stood up and left.

Hao Qiang has only heard De Bruyne's name many times recently.

A king-level worth.

He recorded horrific statistics while playing for Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga and won the Bundesliga assists title.

However, Hao Qiang really doesn’t know what his specific strength is and what his style of play is.

It doesn't matter, the days ahead are long.

Starting today, he will begin to understand.

Whether it works or not is not up to Kompany.

Strength has the final say.

The players arrived at the training ground, and Pellegrini's face was glowing.

He led the coaching staff to conduct training.

But it looks like some people on his coaching staff are not in a good mood.

The players were not surprised.

Start training step by step.

The training after returning from vacation will definitely focus on physical reserves, with aerobic and strength training as the main content.

Just to let everyone's physical condition recover.

Pellegrini seems to have a mature and confident aura.

After being promoted to the Champions League champion coach, the feeling must be different.

However, the recent news reported in Fleet Street about the Manchester City manager is very unfavorable to Pellegrini.

Manchester City did not give Pellegrini a new contract after completing the contract renewal and recruitment work for the team's core and key players.

Be reasonable.

Taught for two years.

Two Premier League titles, a League Cup, an FA Cup, and a Champions League trophy.

Even if a dog can really win the championship, it still has to be rewarded with a few bones.

But apart from giving Pellegrini a bonus, Manchester City did not give him a new contract.

There are different opinions in Fleet Street. A more reliable statement is: Manchester City Club is waiting for Guardiola!

There are not many coaches recognized as the top players in European football today.

Mourinho, Ancelotti, Guardiola...

Mourinho will be eliminated by Manchester City first.

Not to mention that the other party is currently coaching Chelsea, there may be changes in the future.

The most important thing is that when Manchester City developed in the past few years, it poached many important senior executives from Barcelona.

Among them is Begiristain, who now has a considerable say in the senior management.

He joined Manchester City in 2012 and before that spent more than ten years as sporting director at Barcelona.

So he will definitely oppose Mourinho and lean towards Guardiola.

The outside rumors did not affect the Manchester City dressing room.

The Manchester City generals don't really care who is the head coach.

Let's just say Pellegrini made most of them feel comfortable.

As for the coaching change...who among the players would think so much about it?
