This much-anticipated game ended with Monaco defeating Manchester City 3-0.
After the game, the Manchester City club publicly commented that they still support Hughes' coaching.
But not to mention the fans didn’t believe what they said, even Hughes himself didn’t believe it…
After the game, Pro led the Monaco team back.
Yunsheng specially gave Sun Jihai, Dong Fangzhuo and Heinze a holiday so that they could stay in Manchester for one day and return to the team for the round the day after tomorrow.
After returning to Manchester, it’s time to see old friends.
Yun Sheng himself did not return to China for the time being. Instead of staying in Manchester, he changed his route to London.
When Chen Tao received the call from Yun Sheng, he couldn't believe his ears.
"Boss, have you come to London?"
"Come here to do some errands and see you by the way."
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Yun Sheng met Chen Tao in a restaurant in London.
Some time ago, I learned that Chen Tao was not going well at Arsenal. Yun Sheng called Chen Tao. Listening to Chen Tao's voice at that time, he felt that he was not in a good condition. Although Yun Sheng tried to persuade him a few words, but what was the effect? unknown.
Judging from Arsenal's recent situation in the Premier League, Chen Tao still has not ushered in his first game in the Premier League, and he has not many opportunities to enter the 18-man roster.
In the Champions League, Arsenal's group is not strong. They also won three games in three games and are only one step away from qualifying.
But this has nothing to do with Chen Tao, after all, he was not even included in the 25-person competition list.
That's right, how can a player who can't even play in the league possibly represent the team in the Champions League?
Before meeting Chen Tao, Yun Sheng had many assumptions.
He felt that Chen Tao might be in poor condition, mentally depressed, or forcing a smile on his face.
But when he saw Chen Tao in front of him, he couldn't believe it.
It's mid-October now, and the weather has started to get colder. Chen Tao is wearing a T-shirt and a simple windbreaker, clean and tidy.
On Chen Tao's face, Yun Sheng saw a long-lost smile. This smile was calm and indifferent, making people feel peaceful from the heart.
"Boss, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much." Chen Tao said with a smile, "I'm in a hurry at noon and I can't stay with you for a while. Don't leave tonight. I'll take you to try the authentic food." Let’s have a good chat about British food.”
Yun Sheng joked: "Authentic British food, are you talking about French fries and fried fish?"
Chen Tao also laughed: "Actually, that's all people's prejudice against Britain. After World War II, Britain was short of supplies and didn't have many kinds of food supplies for a long time, which is why people have this stereotype. In fact, Britain still has many Less delicious food.”
Yun Sheng shrugged: "I'm afraid I won't be able to taste the delicacies you mentioned this time. I have to go back to work in the afternoon and have to fly back in the evening."
"So anxious?"
"Yes, we still have league games to play on the weekend."
Chen Tao nodded: "Boss, Monaco is too strong in the league this season. They are already almost ten points ahead of their opponents. If this continues, they may win the championship if they can advance to eight or ten rounds in advance."
"I'm not worried about the league. I think defending the title is not a problem. Our front line is particularly strong this season. Not to mention a few main players, even the two new players Aubameyang and Diego Costa have performed bravely," Yun Sheng was very satisfied, "Xiao Dong also broke out this season and made rapid progress."
Chen Tao looked envious: "It's great. If I were still in Monaco, I could experience all this myself. I'm so happy."
The food was on the table, and the two of them chatted while eating.
Yun Sheng asked Chen Tao: "How are you at Arsenal recently? I think you haven't got a chance to play yet."
"Yes, the first game of the league is far away, and I am not qualified to participate in the Champions League. It is really depressing," Chen Tao said with a smile, "But I still have games to play now."
"What game are you playing?"
"The League Cup and the FA Cup, these two major cup competitions are mainly for training new players, and I started every game."
"How are the results?"
"It's a bit like, well, like being in Monaco's reserve team."
They both laughed.
Yun Sheng recalled the experience of delegating Chen Tao to the reserve team and asked: "Then have you completed ten goals and ten assists?"
"It's not that easy," Chen Tao waved his hand, "So far, I have only scored three goals and two assists."
"This result is already good, come on." Yun Sheng encouraged Chen Tao, "With your strength, you will return to Arsenal's starting lineup sooner or later, I'm sure."
"But Wenger didn't say anything. He added strength training courses to me and asked me to participate in more cup matches."
Yun Sheng nodded: "This is a good thing. It proves that he still values you very much. What you have to do now is to maintain your condition and wait for opportunities. Before and after Christmas, the Premier League team's schedule will be very intensive, and it will inevitably happen. Due to injuries, the main players also need to be rotated, and then it will be your chance. Come on, I look forward to your performance in the Premier League."
The two of them ate the meal for more than an hour. Chen Tao asked for leave midway and had to go back to training early.
The two waved goodbye, and Chen Tao reluctantly said, "Boss, if you haven't finished your work in the afternoon and need to stay overnight in London, you must call me."
"Okay, don't worry."
Watching Chen Tao drive away, Yun Sheng thought to himself, I don't have anything to do. I came to London this time just to see you and see what you have become.
Now it seems that the stone in my heart has been relieved.
Chen Tao has not sunk in, nor is he decadent. He is still positive and sunny, working hard to improve himself, training hard, competing seriously, and working hard towards his goals.
Among all the players Yunsheng has led, his feelings for Chen Tao are extremely special. If not the one he cares about the most, he is one of the ones he cares about the most.
As a top talent who was once as famous as Messi, there is no doubt about Chen Tao's talent. It only took him one season to become the best player in Ligue 1. This talent and potential are definitely among the top in Europe.
If Chen Tao can get a good development space in Europe, then he will definitely become the future leader of Chinese football.
Yun Sheng really hopes to keep Chen Tao by his side and teach and train him carefully, but unfortunately Monaco is still too small, and the Ligue 1 stage is not enough for Chen Tao to perform. He needs to meet greater challenges.
Chen Tao, Chen Tao, as long as you can continue to stick to your heart and endure at Arsenal, one day you will become an indispensable figure at Arsenal. Wenger brought you to London and gave you the No. 10 jersey. Your expectations are also extraordinary.
Chen Tao, I look forward to the day when you take off in London!
