Chapter 770: Double Red Club Starts
As the Double Red Club draws closer, the atmosphere at the Carrington training base becomes increasingly tense.
In such an England derby that fans around the world are watching, no player would want to go up and perform.
But a wealthy club like Manchester United has a team of 35 people and is full of big-name stars. The substitutes have the ability to play as the main players in ordinary teams. The newcomers are also geniuses selected from a million. Not to mention the 11 people in the starting lineup, even if they are included in the 18-man roster Not easy either.
In order to get the opportunity to play, Manchester United players are all scrambling in training to impress head coach Ferguson.
Except for goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, even the absolute main players such as Gao Xiaodong, Evra, and Vidic do not dare to be careless. With Ferguson's stubborn character, if anyone dares to act carelessly in training, he will not be merciful.
After the morning training, the players did not go home. They all stayed at the base to eat nutritious meals.
During training, Manchester United's players mixed together indiscriminately, but when eating, they could see the distance between them.
The three big guys from Class 92 sat with Ferdinand, Rooney and Fletcher sat with the local gang, Vidic and Evra sat with the continental gang, Gao Xiaodong, Nani, Anderson and Beibei sat together, and Park Ji-sung sat next to Evra from the Continental Gang. However, it could be seen that he did not belong to the Continental Gang, but had a better relationship with Evra.
"Gao, you have been performing too well recently. The main force has not been running. During training, please cooperate with me more. I will perform well and have some playing time."
Anderson flattered Gao Xiaodong affectionately, hoping to get Gao Xiaodong's support in training. He had just recovered from his injury, and there was no hope for the main force. He just wanted to have a good understanding with Gao Xiaodong in training, and win in both sides. There is an opportunity for a substitute at the Red Cross meeting.
"That's no problem. You have the ability. You have to believe in yourself." It's not like Gao Xiaodong was in the starting lineup. Of course, Fatty was happy to give him favors.
Anderson said happily: "I have confidence in myself. It took too long to recover from my injury."
Nani said: "The game against Liverpool must be very intense. You have just recovered from your injury. It doesn't matter whether you can play or not."
After the right winger Valencia broke his leg, he was out for the entire season. Now the only one who is good at playing on the wing is Nani. His main starting position is very solid. Nani is naturally proud of himself and talks a little bit. A man does not know how hungry he is.
Anderson said: "I'm in good health. The Double Red Club is my best chance to find my main position. It doesn't matter if I don't make it."
Nani said: "If you go up and perform poorly, you will be under greater pressure."
Nani meant well, but he was unskilled and too direct. Anderson was very unhappy after hearing this, "How do you know I won't perform well? Maybe I will beat Liverpool."
Gao Xiaodong saw that the two idiots could quarrel if they kept talking, and said with a smile: "No one wants to miss the opportunity to play Liverpool, but it is the BOSS who decides who can play. Let's train hard."
Anderson said: "Gao is right, you can't miss a game like this."
Nani stopped talking and just buried his head in eating.
After dinner, when everyone went back to the dormitory to rest, Captain Gary. Neville called Gao Xiaodong to his room.
After asking Gao Xiaodong to sit down, Neville said: "Gao, what do you think of tomorrow's game?"
When asked by the captain and big brother, Gao Xiaodong said honestly: "It's very important. It's difficult to fight."
Neville said: "That's right. Even if Liverpool is in bad shape right now, playing against us will definitely be like beating the blood. You have to be mentally prepared."
Gao Xiaodong said: "I have experience in the Milan Derby and the Italian Derby, and I will definitely take it very seriously."
Neville shook his head and said: "Let me give you an example. You will know what the Double Red Club is like. In the 2006 Double Red Club, Liverpool defender Riise broke Smith's leg with a free kick. He was injured in the ambulance. When Smith was being taken to the hospital for treatment, Liverpool fans blocked the ambulance and refused to let him go to the hospital..."
Gao Xiaodong has really never heard of this story.
He opened his eyes wide, "Isn't this too unhumane?"
Neville said solemnly: "Yes, in ordinary life, they are all caring people, but in the derby, they have become beasts. The Double Red Club is to win by any means, and do not think about things other than victory. .”
Gao Xiaodong also became serious and said, "I understand."
Neville smiled and said: "You are the most talented and fighting player I have ever seen. At 20 years old, you are better than Giggs, Rooney and Ronaldo at 20 years old. I hope you can help the team win." Don't forget to protect yourself and don't repeat the mindless fight from the last game."
Although Neville is a bit talkative and likes to share the glory of the past with his juniors like an old man, he is indeed caring and caring as a newcomer.
Gao Xiaodong said: "Thank you, captain, I will protect myself."
Gary. Neville told Gao Xiaodong some issues to pay attention to in tomorrow's game, and then asked Gao Xiaodong to go back and take a nap.
There will be a game tomorrow. According to coach Ferguson's habit, the starting list will be decided after this afternoon's training. This is almost the last chance for marginal players. In the afternoon training, the players' desire to perform is even stronger. When Little Pea El After Nandez and Berbatov scored, Rooney was eager to perform and almost got into a fight with substitute center back Evans.
After training in the afternoon, Ferguson announced the starting list: 1-Van der Sar; 22-O'Shea, 15-Vidic, 23-Evans, 3-Evra; 17-Nani, No. 10-Gao Xiaodong , 18-Scholes, 11-Giggs; 9-Berbatov, 7-Rooney.
The players who were not included in the starting list all showed disappointed expressions. Fletcher's face turned pale, while Rafael, Hernandez and Park Ji-sung didn't hear Sir Alex calling their names in the end, and their faces turned pale. .
Fletcher actually had a premonition because he was an engineer, but Gao Xiaodong's defense was not inferior to him, but his offense was better. After Gao Xiaodong came, his competitor became Scholes, unless the opponent was too strong. , the defense needs to be strengthened, otherwise he will have to be a substitute.
Naturally, he cannot compete for the captaincy if he has been playing as a substitute. This is why Fletcher doesn't like Gao Xiaodong.
However, Fletcher was a direct disciple of Ferguson. He was unhappy but did not show it.
Although the 20-year-old Rafael is young, he is a genuine right back. He is fast and good at stealing, but he is strong in offense and weak in defense, and is a bit impatient. Against a giant like Liverpool, Ferguson certainly does not dare to take risks. He uses a mature and prudent approach. The all-rounder O'Shea.
Raphael always thought that he had no competitors and could take the lead, but he didn't expect to be pushed to the bench. Of course, he was very disappointed.
Hernandez has been in good form recently, even better than Rooney, but his body is thin and his impact is not enough. Ferguson was worried that he would be lost in the Red Army's fierce defense, so he chose Rooney Jr.
Hernandez had just arrived and was alone. Although he was dissatisfied with Ferguson's arrangement, he did not dare to get angry or speak out.
As for Park Ji-sung, although he is now a substitute, Park Ji-sung's header in the double club at Old Trafford last season helped Manchester United reverse Liverpool 2-1 and successfully reach the top of the Premier League in the 31st round. And he has completed the "Grand Slam" of capturing the goals of Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool, and he can be called a killer of the wealthy.
That's why Park Ji-sung now coveted the starting position. Unexpectedly, Ferguson still didn't give him a chance in the end, which made Park Ji-sung very disappointed. Because there are countless Korean fans in front of the TV tomorrow waiting to cheer him on, expecting him to break through Liverpool's gate again. If he can't play tomorrow, and China, which has always been ridiculed by them, has players starting, I believe Korean fans will Very uncomfortable.
Ferguson was an experienced man, and he knew the mentality of the players very well. After announcing the roster, he kept Rafael, Hernandez and Park Ji-sung, and explained to them the reasons why they were substituted, hoping that they could Understand, stay in good shape, and be ready to show up at all times.
Ferguson is the real boss of Manchester United and he is domineering. Rafael, Hernandez and Park Ji-sung do not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction. They can only say yes and completely obey the coach's arrangements.
