Chapter 762: Entrusted with Important Tasks

After the fourth round of the league, when Gao Xiaodong drove his Audi R8 to the Carrington training base, he felt that his supporters were more numerous and more enthusiastic than before. There were at least a hundred Manchester United fans on both sides of the path leading to the base gate, raising their hands and cheering at him.

Entering the gate, Mrs. Catherine, who was in charge of reception at the front desk, handed Gao Xiaodong letters and gifts from fans from out of town, "My child, your performance the day before yesterday was simply great! You are the pride of Manchester United!"

Mrs. Catherine has worked for Manchester United for more than 40 years and is a witness to the rise and fall of the club. Even coach Ferguson greeted her like a junior in front of her.

"Thank you, Mrs. Catherine. I just did what I should do. You are looking great today. You seem a year younger than the day before yesterday."

Gao Xiaodong is very adaptable. Every time he comes, he will say hello to Mrs. Catherine and praise her youthfulness.

"You kid is really good at talking. Go and train."

Mrs. Catherine touched her cheek and smiled. For Asians, she couldn't even tell how different the looks of Park Ji-sung, Dongfang Zhuo, and Gao Xiaodong were, but she felt that the Chinese player coming now was better than all the Chinese she had ever seen. They are all lovable, and their key abilities are still so strong.

"Goodbye, ma'am."

Gao Xiaodong waved to Mrs. Catherine, drove the car into the parking lot, and then went to the locker room to change clothes and prepare for training.

Seeing Gao Xiaodong's arrival, the Manchester United players greeted Gao Xiaodong enthusiastically.

In the field of competitive sports, transfer fees and annual salary have never come first. Everything has to be said with feet on the court. After two last-minute kills, Gao Xiaodong finally won the recognition and respect of his teammates, even if some teammates Don't like him for various reasons.

The main content of today's training is the drill and the skills and tactics of Glasgow Rangers' Champions League game.

This is Manchester United's first Champions League game this season. All new players, newcomers, and substitutes hope to start and prove themselves on the highest stage of the club, so they work extra hard in training.

After coming to Manchester United, Gao Xiaodong felt that the most intense battlefield was not just Old Trafford, Manchester United's home stadium. Training in Kerrington also required him to fully demonstrate his abilities and not tolerate any slack or mistakes. Although Everyone has a smile on their face during training, but at any moment they're going to give you a tackle.

Based on the intensity of his teammates' tackles, Gao Xiaodong felt that without super protective gear, even his body might be injured. Even the training was so intense, which made Gao Xiaodong more aware of the cruelty of competition in the Premier League.

It is indeed not without reason that it can surpass Serie A and become the most attractive league in the world.

Compared with the rookie substitutes who are facing a strong enemy, Manchester United's big bosses are very relaxed. They just train step by step and don't pay much attention to preparing for the league.

In Giggs' words, Manchester United has never lost against Glasgow Rangers at home. In the 2003-04 season, they even defeated Glasgow Rangers twice. There is really no need to be so nervous when dealing with Glasgow Rangers.

Gao Xiaodong originally thought that the big guys were trying to relieve the pressure on the newcomers, but after the afternoon training, Ferguson called him to the office and told him about tomorrow's game. Gao Xiaodong realized that that was not the case.

"Gao, sit down, what do you think of tomorrow's game?"

Ferguson gently asked Gao Xiaodong to sit down and poured a glass of water for Gao Xiaodong himself.

Ferguson is very satisfied with Gao Xiaodong's performance, especially off the court. He is much more worry-free than Ronaldo. When Ronaldo was 20 years old, he would only be bullied by his teammates in the locker room and cry. He was asked to step forward to resolve conflicts, while Gao Xiaodong He has only been here for less than a month, but he has won the love and respect of almost everyone. Half of the big guys believe that Gao Xiaodong is more suitable to be the future captain and core player than Rooney. This performance is really beyond Ferguson's surprise.

Ferguson spending 80 million to buy Gao Xiaodong is actually a bit risky. Needless to say, Gao Xiaodong's ability, but he is too young. Ferguson is worried that he can't handle the relationship with his teammates well.

I was worried that he would inflate his ego, but now it seems that he is overly worried.

Gao Xiaodong didn't know why he asked him alone, but he knew that Ferguson, who had been coaching for decades, would never ask for his opinion. Gao Xiaodong said honestly: "I think it is very important, maybe second only to Warren. In a direct confrontation with West Asia, if we want to win first place, we must double beat Glasgow Rangers.”

Ferguson smiled and said: "You're right, it's very important, but don't worry too much. This is only the first of six group matches. For a giant like Manchester United, the group matches are just a warm-up."

ah! Gao Xiaodong was surprised. In Porto, every group match was a final. In Inter Milan, Mourinho also regarded every group match as extremely important, and even did not hesitate to rotate it in the league. Ferguson actually To say that the Champions League group stage is a warm-up match is beyond Gao Xiaodong's understanding.

Ferguson smiled and said: "We will definitely qualify. The difference is only first and second. This is determined by strength. Therefore, as a coach, you must coordinate the overall situation and not only consider qualifying in the group stage. That is the thinking of the weak, so we have to adjust The team's condition allows them to start to work hard in the knockout rounds and perform at the highest level in the finals."

"Oh." Gao Xiaodong suddenly realized why it is difficult for a dark horse to win the championship. It is because he lacks an overall plan and plays wherever he goes. He exerts too much force in the front and lacks energy in the back.

Ferguson suddenly said seriously: "So, in tomorrow's game, I am going to let old players such as Giggs, Berbatov, Scholes, Evra, and Nani take turns, and let you and Rooney lead the team to compete with Guerra." Are you confident about the Scots Rangers match?"

What? Gao Xiaodong is a little confused. Giggs, Berba, Scholes, Evra, and Nani are all resting. It seems that Ferdinand is injured, so the rest are almost newcomers and substitutes. This is the most important thing to play. UEFA Champions League match? This old man has a strange way of thinking. He actually asked me if I had any confidence. If I was telling my truth, I really didn’t have any. However, if I don’t give it to the old man, is this a test of me? Entrusted with important tasks?

Gao Xiaodong rolled his eyes several times, and finally said resolutely, "Yes!"

Ferguson said: "Oh, why are you so confident?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "Since you have arranged it this way, it means you have a countermeasure. In addition to having confidence in myself and my teammates, I have confidence in you."

"Stop being clever." Ferguson said this, but a smile appeared on his rosy face. "I am not God. No one is 100% sure of controlling the game. How we can play tomorrow mainly depends on the performance of you and Rooney. , Rooney has too many things going on during this time and his condition is average. You have to continue your performance in the league."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Continue the winning streak in the league? I would rather win 2:0 safely."

Ferguson said with great satisfaction: "It's best to have this mentality. In fact, hitting the winning goal means failure, because whether you can win the winning goal mainly depends on luck. Neither the coach nor the players have the ability to control. Tomorrow's game, 442 diamond position, you The position is the attacking midfielder, with Fletcher assisting from behind. We play less in this position, can you adapt to it?"

"It's absolutely no problem." Gao Xiaodong clenched his fists with full confidence and thought, I have the consciousness and skills in my mind everywhere, so don't worry.

Seeing Gao Xiaodong's fighting spirit and confidence, Ferguson felt relieved and said: "Go back and play hard. Manchester United's future is yours."

"Thank you, coach. Goodbye, coach."

Gao Xiaodong stood up and left Ferguson's office. From Ferguson's last words, Gao Xiaodong heard something different. He felt that his hard work during this period after coming to Manchester United seemed to have an effect. , becoming the captain of the Red Devils in the future is not a dream.
