Chapter 1090 I Want to Chat with You

Manchester United's trip to Hong Kong was a huge success.

On the day when Manchester United players met with fans at the Manchester United store in Hong Kong, nearly 20,000 fans came to support the game. Sales of Gao Xiaodong's No. 10 jersey exceeded 10,000 that day.

Manchester United did not play a friendly match in Hong Kong, but they had a training session at the Hong Kong Stadium for about half an hour. For such an informal training session, nearly 40,000 fans still bought tickets to watch.

After two days in Hong Kong, Manchester United then flew to the Chinese capital for the second championship parade.

Although it was a great success in Hong Kong, Manchester United and Huaguo International still underestimated Gao Xiaodong's appeal. When Manchester United came out of the China Capital Airport, they found that the airport was almost occupied by fans wearing Manchester United jerseys. Go, like an endless red ocean.

David Gill said to Ferguson in shock: "These fans are so enthusiastic, there must be tens of thousands of them."

Ferguson also had a look of surprise on his face and said: "No, but it's close. I brought Dongfang Zhuo back then just to see what we have today."

David Gill smiled and said: "What we failed to achieve with Dongfang Zhuo was finally achieved with Gao Xiaodong."

Assistant coach Mullensdin said: "How about we go through the VIP channel? Otherwise, how long will it take for us to get out of the airport with so many fans?"

David Gill shook his head and said: "How can that be done? We are here to open up the Chinese market. How can we leave secretly at this time? We must interact well with the fans and win the favor of the Chinese fans. It doesn't matter even if we return to the hotel later. .”

David Gill once again underestimated the enthusiasm of mainland Chinese fans. They stayed at the airport for half an hour and were unable to move ten meters forward. The fans came one after another in an endless stream.

Manchester United's players and coaches were a little timid. They were surrounded by so many fans and couldn't move forward or retreat. They were worried about being squeezed and stepped on by the crowded fans.

The staff of Huaguo International who were waiting outside the fans to pick them up were also very anxious. They were originally worried that there were not enough fans and were ready to find some support. Unexpectedly, the fans came far more than they imagined. Now they want to get close to Manchester United's stars. impossible.

Just when the Manchester United stars were in a dilemma, the airport staff couldn't accept it. They believed that the Manchester United fans picking up the airport had affected the normal order of the airport, and they prohibited the Manchester United players from leaving through the ordinary exits. They wanted to forcefully separate the fans and take the Manchester United players away. VIP channel.

Because there were too many fans, the airport security guards acted a little rudely. The fans were originally a little unhappy when the security guards tried to take away their idols. Now they became even angrier, shouting and shoving the security guards.

The conflict between the fans and the airport security quickly alerted the airport police. The police rushed to the scene, stopped the fans together with the security, and sent the Manchester United players and coaches out of the VIP channel.

After leaving the airport and getting on the Huaguo International bus, the Manchester United stars were still frightened. Rooney said: "Xiaodong, you are so charming. The last time we came to Huaguo, the fans were not so crazy."

Gao Xiaodong said modestly: "When I returned to China, the fans were not so crazy. It was because we won the Triple Crown."

Park Ji-sung said: "It should be both factors."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Okay, okay, you two, stop flattering me. If something happens at the airport, the media will probably blame me."

Ferguson said: “We have to talk about this at the press conference later.

Fans are asked to pursue stars rationally and not to discredit their idols. "

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "The fans are truly star-struck and won't buy the jerseys. Manager David is going to be so angry."

Rooney said: "As long as it has Xiaodong's autograph, I guarantee that fans will buy it."

Giggs smiled and said, "I guess Xiaodong's hands are going to get cramps from fatigue."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Wayne likes to come up with bad ideas. He will sign whoever wants to sign. I only sign two hundred people a day, and I won't sign more than one."

Giggs laughed and said: "Wayne signed the rest."

Rooney said quickly: "No, I hate signing. Brother Giggs should do it."

After chatting and laughing, everyone quickly arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel that Huaguo International had booked, and took a short rest. The Manchester United stars and coaches participated in the reception banquet prepared by Huaguo International for them.

After the reception banquet, Gao Xiaodong was about to go home for a visit when he suddenly received a call from Li Xiang, a reporter he knew well. Li Xiang told him that Wei Ge, chairman of the Football Association, wanted to meet him.

The last time Gao Xiaodong hit a reporter, people from the Football Association helped settle the matter. It can be said that the Football Association took the initiative to show goodwill to Gao Xiaodong. After Gao Xiaodong's continuous success in the club, he also had the idea of ​​​​playing international events for the national team.

However, even if Gao Xiaodong does not plan to play for the national team, he cannot refuse the Football Association Chairman's request to meet. After all, he and the new Football Association Chairman have no personal holidays, so this face must be given.

In a teahouse not far from the hotel where the Manchester United team stayed, Gao Xiaodong met Wei Ge, chairman of the Football Association.

Wei Ge is in his forties and wears a pair of rimless glasses. He looks gentle and doesn't look like someone with a sports background at all.

When Gao Xiaodong arrived, Wei Ge had already brewed a pot of Longjing and poured it for himself. After he got up and welcomed Gao Xiaodong into the room, he poured Gao Xiaodong a cup of tea, "Xiaodong, sit down, how old am I? Let’s call you Xiaodong.”

Gao Xiaodong said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Chairman Wei, you are too polite. Regardless of age or status, it is completely appropriate for you to call me Xiaodong."

Gao Xiaodong is now the number one football player in the world. Although Wei Ge is a department-level cadre, he is also afraid that Gao Xiaodong will not give him face. Seeing that Gao Xiaodong is so sensible, Wei Ge is very happy and said: "Let Li want to date you today." There’s no big deal when I come out, I just want to chat with you.”

Gao Xiaodong didn't believe at all that the chairman of the Football Association called him out because he wanted to chat with him, but he still said calmly: "Chairman Wei is well-informed and I will definitely gain a lot from chatting with you."

Wei Ge suddenly had a good impression of Gao Xiaodong and thought to himself, outsiders say Gao Xiaodong is unruly and unruly, but now it seems that people's words cannot be trusted. He smiled and said: "Hey, let's learn from each other. Xiaodong, you have given us Hua Guo the past two years." Football has gained glory, and I want to thank you on behalf of the Football Association and the fans across the country."

Gao Xiaodong heard Wei Di say thanking him on behalf of the fans across the country, and thought to himself, you want to represent the fans across the country, do the fans across the country agree? They all regard you as their enemies now, and you still represent them.

"Thank you, Chairman, for your compliment. This achievement I have achieved is also inseparable from the help of the Football Association and the support of the fans. If it were not for the star of hope organized by the Football Association to go abroad, I would not have the chance." However, Gao Xiaodong was thinking in his heart, It is inseparable from the help of your Football Association, because I work so hard just to slap you in the face.

Although Gao Xiaodong was speaking in a casual way, he was obviously giving face by saying this. Wei Di was very happy and had a stronger impression of Gao Xiaodong. He thought to himself, this guy is good. The previous Football Association team was really incompetent. Such a talent is unknown. use.
