Chapter 723 The Story of Manchester United’s Locker Room
Mendes accompanied Gao Xiaodong to the hotel and did not leave. Instead, he followed Gao Xiaodong into Gao Xiaodong's room.
After opening a bottle of drink for himself and Gao Xiaodong each, Mendes sat down on the sofa and said, "Xiaodong, tomorrow you will officially start to adapt to life at Manchester United. There are some things I want to tell you."
"Mr. Mendez, tell me." Gao Xiaodong listened to Mendez's words carefully.
Mendes said: "You have already experienced two leagues, Portugal and Italy. These two major leagues are actually European continent style, focusing more on tactics and technology, while the English league is more simple, direct and rough. You must pay attention to protecting yourself. Don’t get injured, look at Anderson and Nani, they both have talent that is not inferior to yours, but injuries have had a huge impact on them.”
Gao Xiaodong said: "I understand."
Mendes said: "Where there are people, there are gangs. There are gangs in every locker room, and Manchester United is no exception. Although Sir Alex Ferguson likes you and values you very much, if you can't have a good relationship with the major factions in the locker room, If so, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to perform at your own level.”
Gao Xiaodong said in surprise: "Is there anyone in the Manchester United dressing room who dares to violate Ferguson's will?"
Mendes said seriously: "Then you must have never heard of Ronaldo's story. Sir Alex Ferguson dotes on Ronaldo, but when Ronaldo first came to Manchester United, he dribbled the ball too much. Manchester United was once tied with Fulham. Everyone in the team was a little angry. Back in the locker room, Alan Smith angrily scolded Ronaldo for taking the ball too much, which affected the team's passing rhythm. Ronaldo was unconvinced and was beaten by Smith. Later, the Dutchman Ruud van Nistelrooy because Ronaldo didn't pass the ball, and the two fought again. Ronaldo also suffered a loss. You know that Ruud van Nistelrooy was kicked out later, but Smith from the local gang was fine. So if Ferguson favors you, your status in the locker room will be yours. Go for it.”
Gao Xiaodong smiled bitterly and said: "It turns out that I heard that former captain Keane knocked Heinze unconscious with one punch. I thought it was a joke, but now I know it is really so dangerous. It seems that I need to bring a stick. "
Mendes smiled and said: "Danger? After Cantona and Keane left, Manchester United's dressing room will definitely not be so dangerous. At most, they will get beaten."
Gao Xiaodong scratched his head and said, "I'm just afraid of a group fight. If we are one-on-one, we still don't know who will beat whom."
Mendes smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, you are not alone in Manchester United. Anderson and Nani are both my people. This year, a 19o young forward Beibei came. I told them, definitely I want to help you well, and you can trust them."
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "So, I am the boss of the Portuguese gang."
Ahem, Mendes almost choked, "Boss? In Manchester United, the only boss is Gary. Neville, and others are the bosses at most. The local gang is the most powerful, and captain Neville is the leader of the locker room. Ferdinand, Giggs, The three local gang members, Scholes, are all big guys; the Latin gang in mainland China is the second most powerful, and now Vidic and Evra are gradually taking over. They are big bosses in Manchester United and cannot be offended. After you come, the Portuguese-speaking gang can be regarded as the third largest force. You have to unite the old man of the Dutch gang, Edwin van der Sar, Ecuador's Valencia, and yes, South Korea's Park Ji-sung, so that you can join the local gang and the Latin gang. Earn your locker room status in the middle of the gang."
Gao Xiaodong said strangely: "Isn't Rooney the number one player at Manchester United? Isn't he still the boss of the locker room?"
Mendes said: "It turns out that Rooney is of course the boss of the locker room, but isn't he about to transfer? Besides, even if he can't transfer, his status will no longer be good. The four local bosses are very fond of him. dissatisfied."
"Thank you, Mr. Mendez."
Gao Xiaodong sincerely thanks Mendes. When he moved to Serie A, he received a lot of advice from Mendes. It can be said that Mendes’ experience helped Gao Xiaodong avoid many detours when integrating into Inter Milan. This is also Mendes did not consider Gao Xiaodong's interests during the two transfers, but Gao Xiaodong did not directly break up with Mendes.
Mendes waved his hand and said: "You are the person I value most. Of course I will try my best to improve your performance. You are a very smart child. In fact, you can handle many things very well even if I don't tell you. I will just give it to you." Just a reminder. The seniority atmosphere in the Manchester United dressing room is very strong, so you must respect them. Sir Alex Ferguson and captain Neville both like players who dare to fight. As long as you are brave and diligent on the court, you will be appreciated by them. Just like Berbatov, he is talented enough, but because of his laziness, he has never been liked by the bosses in the local dressing room."
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "If you are diligent and dare to fight, I will not lose to anyone."
Mendes smiled and said: "This is why Sir Alex Ferguson thinks so highly of you. Your temperament is so consistent with Manchester United. Okay, you have a good rest. I have to go back. By the way, your English is too poor. No French communication, Manchester United’s locker room all speaks English, and they don’t like translators in the locker room, so you should make up your English.”
Gao Xiaodong said with a grimace: "Don't worry, coach." After meeting Emma in Rhode Island, Gao Xiaodong deeply understood the pain of language barriers, and he was determined to learn from Xiao Le.
After Mendes left, Gao Xiaodong did not sleep immediately. Based on the information provided by Mendes and what he learned, he began to think about how to gain a foothold at Manchester United.
Obviously, at the beginning, the local gang must not be offended. They must make good friends with them, gain their trust, and at the worst, be able to live in peace. The Latin gang is not small, but if they want to increase their voice in the locker room, they must To suppress them, and then win over Van der Sar, Valencia and others, you will have status in the locker room. If you can get the position of team deputy, maybe you can compete with the local gang in the future.
While Gao Xiaodong was thinking about how to gain a foothold in the locker room, the local bosses of Manchester United were also talking in the bar about Gao Xiaodong, who had just joined Manchester United in a record transfer.
Ferdinand said: "This kid defeated us twice in the Champions League. He must be arrogant when he comes to the locker room. We have to give this kid a blow, otherwise he can still take us into consideration."
Scholes said: "It's okay to teach him a lesson, young people certainly don't know how high the sky is and how high it is."
Captain Gary. Neville is a chatterbox, and he was the one talking just now, saying: "Gao is someone our Boss values and the Boss says he is the next Cristiano Ronaldo. You should take it easy and don't get hurt. Otherwise, the Boss will definitely follow. You’re not done yet.”
Giggs said: "This kid is still very capable. His playing style is more simple than Ronaldo. There will definitely be no problem taking over from Scholes. We are all old. He is only 20 years old. If he stays at Manchester United honestly, he will be able to succeed in the future." Become the new king of the Red Devils."
Gary. Neville sighed: "I only have one season left. Scholes and Giggs will have two years at most. It's too late to wait for this kid to grow up. Rooney is disappointing. If he doesn't want to leave, take Xiaodong Gaoji with him." Next year, when Xiaodong grows up and Rooney takes a back seat, it will be perfect."
Ferdinand said angrily: "This kid Rooney is an irresponsible and opinionated guy. If he doesn't behave like the king of Manchester United, he will go to Manchester City just for tens of thousands of pounds a week."
Gary Neville thought for a while and said: "No, we still can't let Rooney leave. Look at our group, we are too old, the young are too young, and we are not in the green. Only Rooney, the Mesozoic generation, for Manchester United, I I have to persuade him again."
Giggs said: "It's probably useless to persuade him. He just listens to that vampire Streford."
Gary Neville said: "If it doesn't work, you have to try it. You can drink it. I'll go find Rooney right away."
Ferdinand said: "In this case, let's forget it."
Scholes said: "Let's go together."
Seeing that everyone was willing to go, Neville said, "Okay." He took everyone to Rooney's house to try to persuade Rooney to stay again.
