Chapter One Thousand and Forty

During preparations for the Champions League final, Gao Xiaodong became Manchester United's most diligent player. He was the first to arrive at the Carrington training base every day and the last to leave.

Not to mention, a fan of Gao Xiaodong claimed on the Internet that he wanted Gao Xiaodong's autograph for a short stay, and found that Gao Xiaodong went out for a run at six o'clock, running for a full two hours.

Later, many fans confirmed that they also saw Gao Xiaodong running. And said with a lot of emotion, Gao Xiaodong is definitely a genius, the frightening thing is that such a genius is still working so hard, he really doesn't want to let people live.

Of course Ferguson noticed Gao Xiaodong's change.

It's not just because Gao Xiaodong has become more diligent, Ferguson feels that Gao Xiaodong's skills seem to have improved again, and he played more reasonably in the confrontation match, which is completely different from the original fierceness, with a feeling of ease.

Ferguson didn't understand. As a player of Gao Xiaodong's level, it is very difficult to improve, just like an excellent student who scored 90 points, it is not easy to improve by one point.

But after the league ended, Gao Xiaodong suddenly improved, and seemed to have improved a level.

Ferguson didn't understand, but the facts were there. Ferguson could only keep his doubts in his heart. Let's just think that Gao Xiaodong was still young. After a season of training at Manchester United, he finally made a leap.

Regardless of whether Ferguson understands it or not, the improvement of Gao Xiaodong's football skills is a good thing for Manchester United.

Although Manchester United is very high-profile, they are actually very afraid of Barcelona. They know that Barcelona, ​​known as the cosmic team, is very difficult to mess with. Even if Manchester United is playing at home, it is not easy to win against Barcelona. Progress is tantamount to adding an important weight to Manchester United's championship.

Ferguson could even imagine, but when the Barcelona players suddenly saw a Gao Xiaodong who was very different from what they studied before the game, how wonderful their expressions would be.

Although Ferguson is very satisfied with Gao Xiaodong's performance, seeing Gao Xiaodong's body getting thinner day by day, he still couldn't help reminding Gao Xiaodong not to overload the training volume, which may cause injury easily. It is a contest between two teams, not by individual ability.

Gao Xiaodong was not a hardworking person in the first place. He was forced to work so hard by the system. If he didn't practice more, he would be punished by the system's magic sound. In comparison, the feeling of overload training is relatively relaxed .

Soon, five days have passed since the end of the league, and there are only two days left before the Champions League final.

These two days,

More and more fans from all over the world come to watch the game.

Many foreign Manchester United fans gathered around the Carrington training base, Old Trafford Stadium, and the gates of the stars, just to ask for a photo and autograph of the stars.

Gao Xiaodong is the star of Manchester United and the winner of the Golden Globe Award. He also has the most fans. During this time, he has been harassed by fans a lot.

On this day, Gao Xiaodong finished training and practiced for two more hours before driving away from Carrington Training Base.

However, at the gate of the base, there are still fans waiting for him to come out, including fans from China.

Although Gao Xiaodong was exhausted, he still patiently signed autographs and took photos with these loyal fans.

Back home, Gao Xiaodong had just put the car into the garage when he suddenly saw several familiar figures coming out of the living room.

"Yang Fan! Yu Debao! Hey! Zhu Daqiang, Yu Lei, why are you here?"

Seeing his classmates and teammates back then, Gao Xiaodong was very excited, and his exhaustion was gone.

Zhu Daqiang and Yu Lei came over and gave Gao Xiaodong a hug. Zhu Daqiang said: "We came to watch the football with the fan group, so we can visit our old classmates."

Yu Lei said: "Let's visit Old Trafford and Carrington Base by the way."

Gao Xiaodong laughed and said, "I don't have time these two days, so let Monkey and Sister Xiaole accompany you around. After the Champions League is over, I'll take you all over the British Isles."

Yang Fan said: "Fatty, you forget your old teammates when you see your old classmates. We have visited you several times, and you haven't taken us all over England yet, aren't you a big treasure?"

Yu Dabao just smiled foolishly and didn't speak.

Gao Xiaodong yelled at Yang Fan, "You still want me to take it, which corner of England you haven't been to."

At this time, the monkey smiled and said, "There are so many guys here, today we have to get drunk."

Yang Fan said: "Fatty, you have to drink some too, you can't just watch us drink."

Gao Xiaodong recalled the system's fasting order, and quickly said: "I'm about to compete, so I can't drink."

Yang Fan said: "No one told you to drink more, just drink two bottles of beer."

Gao Xiaodong rubbed his belly and said, "Beer is liquid bread. I'm on a diet now, so I really can't drink it."

Just as Xiao Le came out after cooking, he heard the words: "Don't let Xiaodong drink it, he lost three catties of meat in the past five days, don't let him eat it back."

Yang Fan said with a smile: "Let's give Miss Xiao Le face and stop the fat man from drinking."

Xiao Le looked at Yang Fan's disheveled look, his face became hot, and he said angrily, "What face are you giving me, whether you like to drink or not." After finishing speaking, he turned around and went to the kitchen with Monkey and Yu Debao to serve dishes.

Xiao Le has now practiced a whole body of culinary skills. He can cook both Chinese and Western food. He cooked twelve dishes by himself. Gao Xiaodong took two bottles of Moutai from the wine cabinet, and everyone sat down to eat together.

This time is the most painful for Gao Xiaodong. His physical transformation has not been completed, and he still cannot eat food from the outside world. However, Zhu Daqiang and Yu Lei have come from a long way, and they have not been seen for such a long time. It is fine if they do not drink. Because we are going to play in the Champions League final, but we don't even have a meal with us, it's too uninteresting.

Gao Xiaodong suppressed the churning in his stomach, took a few mouthfuls, and finally couldn't bear it any longer, ran to the bathroom and vomited out everything he ate.

When they came back, several people in the restaurant stared at Gao Xiaodong, Xiao Le said, "Xiaodong, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yang Fan said: "Diarrhea? Are you happy?"

Gao Xiaodong tapped Yang Fan's head with his chopsticks, and said: "You are so happy. I ate a nutritious meal at the training base. I am not hungry. Maybe I have too much training and I don't want to eat. Eat it, brothers. Don't worry about it." I."

Zhu Daqiang said with a smile: "Sister Xiaole cooks so delicious, who cares about you, if you don't eat, we will eat more."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Okay, you can eat my share."

Zhu Daqiang picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "I'll drink your share of wine for you too, this is Moutai."

Yu Lei smiled and said: "Look at Daqiang's reluctance, then I will replace it. This Moutai is quite old."

Zhu Daqiang laughed and said: "Yu Lei, there must be a first-come-first-served one. I said this first."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Don't argue, I still have a few catties in the wine cabinet, enough for the few of you to drink."

Zhu Daqiang said: "Okay, if you meet an old friend in a foreign land, you must get drunk today, and no one is allowed to hide alcohol."

After finally seeing friends in China, the monkey was also happy and said, "Okay, let's get drunk."

Xiao Le whispered to Gao Xiaodong, "Now you can mourn for your Moutai."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "As long as the guys are happy, Maotai is nothing."

Xiao Le wanted to say something, but he curled his lips and didn't say anything.

Several people at the wine table are compatriots. Zhu Daqiang, Yu Lei and Houzi Xiaodong are old friends from other places. Yu Debao and Yang Fan have just finished their season and want to relax. Xiaodong, the others fell asleep as soon as they went to bed.
