Christmas is approaching, but not a single thing has been left behind.
In Europe, Christmas is like the Spring Festival in China.
After playing the last round of games before Christmas, Manchester City began to adjust to daily training, because the club has arranged many activities, some of which are annual routines, such as players visiting the community, or traveling to the city or surrounding areas.
Visit children's hospitals, schools with more fans, etc.
These are things European clubs do every year.
All 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 will be different.
For example, this year, famous British charities began to come to us, hoping to cooperate with Manchester City.
This is actually a very meaningful thing and is also very helpful in improving the club's image and status.
They specially held a charity dinner in Manchester, and invited 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 site for filming and promotion.
There will also be a charity auction during the dinner, it depends on the individual's willingness to participate.
Gao Shen led the entire Manchester City team to attend a charity dinner in formal attire, and it was at the charity dinner that Gao Shen met his former favorite David Beckham.
The two of them were reunited after a long absence, and they were very happy to see 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, it is still very influential, proving Beckham's status in British football and once again making him extremely popular in the UK.
Beckham congratulated Gao Shen. During his time coaching Manchester City, he won all the major awards in the Premier League and also won the league championship. Now this season's Premier League championship is also a favorite, and there is also a chance for the Champions League.
Just two days ago, in the draw ceremony for the UEFA Round of 16 knockout rounds, Manchester City was drawn by Lyon of Ligue 1.
"You know, for Real Madrid, Lyon is a difficult opponent." Beckham said with sadness.
Real Madrid has suffered a lot from Lyon in recent years.
Gao Shen smiled, but he felt that the draw was pretty good.
Finally, his hard work to win the first place in the group was not in vain.
"Are you planning to return to Europe to play football again soon?" Gao Shen asked with concern.
Beckham nodded, "There has always been contact. You know, I can still play for a long time."
Sometimes, Gao Shen wonders, does Beckham regret going to Major League Baseball?
Maybe sometimes, but probably not most of the time.
From a career perspective, this should be considered a bad decision, but from a life perspective, this is a very successful choice. God knows whether this 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 celebrities, and all proceeds from the auction will be donated to charity.
In fact, they are all just gadgets, and Beckham donated a painting of his own.
God knows, when did Beckham, a great football player, learn to draw?
Previously, a charity organization also approached Gao Shen, hoping that he would write a piece of Chinese calligraphy. But Gao Shen himself knew very well, where could his calligraphy be seen by anyone?
When it comes to practicing calligraphy from childhood to adulthood, it would have to be Su Qing.
His fiancée's calligraphy is really good. Many people in the community used to ask Su Qing for help when writing Spring Festival couplets.
She even went out of her way to buy a book of Spring Festival couplets and copied them every time, which made her very popular in the community.
"I just like that puzzle piece." Gao Shen said, pointing to one of the oil painting puzzle pieces on the stage.
This jigsaw puzzle was painted by a well-known avant-garde artist couple. 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 remembered that Su Qing had nothing to do on weekdays and liked to work hard like this.
"Then good luck to you!" Beckham smiled.
…
The atmosphere of the charity auction is very good and relaxed, and everyone comes with a game mentality.
For example, a painting of David Beckham was auctioned for a high price of 15,000 pounds.
But Gao Shen felt that this painting was definitely not a meticulous masterpiece by Beckham. He probably just graffitied casually, and it didn't have the flavor of abstraction that the host mentioned.
Is it possible that Beckham is still a painting genius who was buried in football?
No one really grabs the advanced puzzle pieces. It is estimated that none of the rich people present have the patience to put together this one-meter-high painting. The point is, it is really a waste of time.
Therefore, Gao Shen successfully bought it at the reserve price of two thousand pounds.
After that, the two artist couples came over to chat with Gao Shen for a while, basically thanking Gao Shen for taking their paintings, and they also left each other their contact information-->>

He said that he would contact me more when he had the opportunity in the future.
When it comes to fame, Gao Shen is now the most famous celebrity in the UK and even Europe. Moreover, he is not the kind of person who relies on his face to earn his living. He truly relies on his ability to earn his living, and only then can he be more recognized.
Of course, Gao Shen also cooperated with the promotion very much. He posted a few tweets in one night, just to help with charity at that time.
Unsurprisingly, the next day, Beckham's paintings and the puzzle pieces photographed by Gao Shen immediately became the focus of attention from major newspapers, especially the paintings photographed by Gao Shen. The artist and his wife also took advantage of it, and became famous.

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 bit incomprehensible. Is it possible that all works of art are speculated like this?
Isn’t it too profitable?
…
After the charity auction ended, Manchester City's activities did not stop.
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, it has only drawn one game. The record is quite impressive, so Manchester City has carefully prepared and specially created a theme called a Christmas Funny Party.
What does it mean?
That is, everyone can dress up as much as they want. Those who dare not wear or do anything on weekdays can now do it, including women's clothing. The club has also invited some experts in this field to serve the players, especially at the Carrington scene.
It is carefully decorated to be quirky and fits the theme and atmosphere very well.
Needless to say, the club also spent a lot of money this time.
There are professionals here and the players are all young people, so of course they are capable of doing weird things.
So, Super Mario, One-Eyed Dragon, Captain Jack Sparrow, Harry Potter, etc. are nothing. Some people actually transformed into Avatars, and played the villains in horror movies...
Gao Shen himself didn't know that the players had already made a bet in private. The result was that Yaya Toure was forced to appear on the stage in a maid outfit, which blinded everyone's eyes and caused the most excitement in the audience.
sensation.
Even the female relatives attending the party screamed and cheered for Yaya Toure's appearance.
Gao Shen was naturally assigned a task. He was originally dressed like Xu Wenqiang in Shanghai Beach, but as a result, these bastards had to give him a coquettish pink scarf and big yellow glasses.
It makes him look very cute with big eyes, and his appearance will be as weird as possible.
None of the other coaches or even the management were spared, and they were all pranked.
The funniest thing is Brian Kidd, an old man in his sixties, wearing a thin set of white pajamas. You can imagine the scene.
However, because of the prank, the atmosphere at the scene was very lively.
Mubarak appeared as 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 keep up their efforts and hoped to see the team
Continue to win the Premier League and get better results in the Champions League.
As usual, Gao Shen still gave everyone a carefully prepared gift, all of which were prepared for him by Su Qing at home and sent to the UK. They were very Chinese.
Gao Shen also took the stage to speak, expressing his gratitude to the players, coaches, staff, and management. At the same time, he also expressed with confidence that he firmly believed 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 everyone has already had a preliminary impression of the Champions League."
"Of course, I have to remind everyone that the knockout competition is more brutal, more difficult, and more stressful than the group stage, but after going through the group stage, I believe you all should know it."
"We are by no means the kind of losers who participate in the Champions League for the first time. On the contrary, we have the ability to surprise everyone!"
"It is 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, we will have a chance to stand on the top of the Champions League!"
Everyone present heard this with excitement.
Although they were all just makeup, Gao Shen's words made each of their eyes shine with light.
Professional players, who doesn’t want to win the Champions League?
When Gao Shen came to Manchester City, he just wanted to win the Champions League; when players joined Manchester City, in addition to high salaries, they also wanted to win the Champions League; what Mubarak and other management wanted most was of course the Champions League.
Having already won the Premier League title once, Manchester City this season wants 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 shouting this goal to his players!
As someone said, if you don't even dare to set your goal, how can you achieve anything?
Judging from the positive reactions from the players and the scene, Gao Shen knew clearly that everyone had the same goal.
At least Manchester City is still full of cohesion!
Manchester City's goals are clear, but they are still looking for high-level targets.
Lucas has been very busy in the past two months, and it just so happened that during the two-day Christmas holiday, Gao Shen and he could sit down and talk about the latest progress.
