Chapter 800 Impact Record

After Manchester United defeated Valencia 2-0 in the second round of the Champions League group stage, all doubts and worries about Gao Xiaodong disappeared.

Some people were worried that Manchester United's debt of 80 million to buy Gao Xiaodong was too risky. After all, Gao Xiaodong is only 20 years old. Ronaldo can be sold for so much money. After all, he is already 24 and very mature. He also won the Ballon d'Or. Gao Xiaodong is just a highlight. After two seasons, the 20-year-old has changed a lot. If the water drops, no one can afford the result.

Some people even privately suspected that Ferguson had received benefits from Mendes, but because Gao Xiaodong continued to shine after his transfer, no one dared to voice such suspicions.

After Manchester United beat Liverpool and Gao Xiaodong performed a hat trick, most of the worries about Gao Xiaodong were reduced. Many people believe that as long as Gao Xiaodong does not undergo major repairs, he can be worth a guaranteed 40 million.

But at that time, Manchester United's staff was neat, and Gao Xiaodong was accompanied by master-level midfielder Paul Scholes. Gao Xiaodong's function in the midfield was relatively simple, either offensive or defensive. Both fans and the media did not know Gao Xiaodong well. So clear.

This time against Valencia, Scholes took a rest, and Gao Xiaodong's role in Manchester United's midfield was fully demonstrated.

Organizing and dispatching, making long passes, attacking, retreating to defend, attacking from the wing, and attacking from set kicks... Gao Xiaodong can't say that he can do them all better than Scholes, but he can do them all.

With such an almighty Gao Xiaodong, in two or three years, not to mention all of his skills will be improved to the superstar level, even half of them will be improved to the superstar level, Gao Xiaodong will be able to chase the Golden Globe Award.

After doubts and concerns were eliminated, fans and media immediately went to the other extreme. Many people believed that with Gao Xiaodong like this, Scholes, who did not have much defensive ability, could actually serve as a substitute, and Gao Xiaodong would be paired with Freud. With Letcher, Hargreaves or Anderson, Manchester United's midfield will be stronger.

Some people even believe that the presence of Scholes, Giggs, and Neville has actually squeezed the playing time of young players and affected the renewal of Manchester United. Ferguson can no longer favor the disciples of Class 92 whom he trained. They should be allowed to retire or leave as soon as possible, and a new Red Devils captain should be established as soon as possible, instead of dragging it out in an ambiguous manner.

The media comments did not have any impact on Ferguson. In the next midweek match against Black Cats Sunderland, Scholes once again took the field, partnering Gao Xiaodong, Fletcher and Carrick in the midfield.

However, public opinion still had some impact on Scholes. The ginger head frequently asked for the ball during the game, as if he wanted to prove that he was not old enough to retire.

Gao Xiaodong did not compete with Scholes for the ball. First, he understood that time was on his side and there was no chance that Scholes could survive him. Second, Gao Xiaodong knew all the skills and was a professional S-level player. There are no shortcomings. Without the ball, Gao Xiaodong can run without the ball, connect with Scholes, and attack from the back row.

After 90 minutes, midfielder Gao Xiaodong didn't touch the ball very much, but he scored all two goals for Manchester United, and one of the goals was assisted by Scholes to Gao Xiaodong.

After the game, Scholes, who proved that he is still young, felt a little sorry for Gao Xiaodong. He praised Gao Xiaodong to reporters, thinking that he was Manchester United's 'Lampard' and had great hope of competing for the best in the league. shooter.

Head coach Ferguson naturally had to give his old disciple some face. He did not mention the problem of Gao Xiaodong's lack of ball rights in the game. While praising Scholes' world-class performance, he praised Gao Xiaodong for playing smart and being able to play in any situation. After scoring a goal, he is the most attacking midfielder in Manchester United's history.

However, the media did not give Scholes face. They believed that Scholes had too much possession of the ball and conceded the ball many times on the field. Fortunately, Fletcher and Carrick behind him were his old friends. He wiped his butt. If the opponent is a strong team like Barcelona or Chelsea, these few missed goals may result in conceding goals.

The media believes that now is the time for the young Gao Xiaodong to increase the ball. Scholes should not occupy too much ball rights. Even if he comes on the court, he should give Gao Xiaodong a hand, instead of forcing the little brother bought for 80 million. Play as a shadow striker.

At the same time, fans and reporters criticized starting forward Berbatov. They believed that midfielder Gao Xiaodong, who was far away from the penalty area, scored all the goals, but Berbatov failed to score a goal. The main reason was that Berbatov was too lazy. If Bell Bartov is as diligent as Gao Xiaodong and should have scored at least two goals.

In the eighth round, Manchester United faced newly promoted West Bromwich Albion. Since there was a Champions League group match in the middle of the week, Scholes took another break. Gao Xiaodong led Nani, Carrick and Fletcher in the midfield, and Berba was the forward. Tove and Hernandez.

Because Carrick, Fletcher, Berbatov and Gao Xiaodong were not willing to cooperate, and Nani often burned his brain, Manchester United's midfield was not functioning well, and the game against the newly promoted team was very awkward. In the first half, the two teams The score was 0:0.

In the second half, Ferguson made substitution adjustments. Park Ji-sung and Giggs came on, replacing Carrick and Berbatov. Manchester United's offense quickly became smoother. In the end, with the goals of Hernandez and Giggs, With the ball, Manchester United defeated Silom 2:0 and won their eighth consecutive league victory.

After this round of games, the media pointed out that Manchester United needs to build a midfielder with Gao Xiaodong as the core. It turns out that Manchester United's midfield configuration is based on Scholes' characteristics. This configuration is not suitable for Gao Xiaodong.

Senior "Sky Sports" reporter Cotterill believes that Gao Xiaodong, who is worth 80 million, came to Manchester United and has been adapting to Manchester United's playing style and configuration. Fortunately, Gao Xiaodong has comprehensive skills and can play any position. If he had been replaced by any other No one, including Messi and Ronaldo, can perform like Gao Xiaodong during this period.

Cotterill believes that it would be a waste of money to let Gao Xiaodong, who is worth 80 million, to adapt to others. Now it is time for Ferguson to choose a good partner for Gao Xiaodong.

What the media said makes sense, but Ferguson has troubles that he cannot tell. He has tried his best to persuade the boss Glazer to buy Gao Xiaodong. Manchester United is now heavily in debt and simply cannot afford to buy any more players who can partner with Gao Xiaodong. Now it can only Let Gao Xiaodong adapt to Manchester United, instead of Manchester United adapting to Gao Xiaodong.

Rooney finally returned from injury in the Champions League group match against Bursaspor in mid-week. He, Scholes, Ryan Giggs, and Gao Xiaodong all appeared on the field, preparing to win three consecutive Champions League games and lock in a promotion spot.

The Turkish team has lost two games in a row before. If they lose again this time, they will basically be eliminated. In 2070, the head coach of Bursaburg led another Turkish team to play in the Champions League and was beaten 8:0 by Liverpool. Now they are facing an away game. The powerful Manchester United and Bursaburg set up a steel barrel formation in their own half to hold on to one point.

In the first half, Manchester United penetrated from the center and passed from the wing, trying to break Bursaburg's tortoise shell with a three-dimensional attack. However, Manchester United's short-passing penetration ability could not even penetrate the defensive counterattack formation, and the iron barrel formation was even more helpless. .

After experiencing the futility of the first half, Ferguson recognized the reality and stopped organizing in the center. He would just cross wildly from the wing and hit the header in the center;

It is really difficult to break the iron barrel formation. Manchester United's Ferdinand and Vidic have almost become forwards, but they still can't help the Turks who defend hard.

However, Manchester United was lucky. Long-range shooting masters Gao Xiaodong, Scholes, and Carrick failed to score in many long-range shots. In the 89th minute of the game, Nani, who always likes to dribble, suddenly changed his mind and volleyed vigorously from the front of the penalty area. After a kick, the ball hit the defender and flew into the net. In the end, relying on Nani's goal, Manchester United defeated Bursaspor 1:0 at home. They won three consecutive Champions League group matches and scored with one foot. The top 16.

At the end of the Champions League, Manchester United will challenge Stoke City on the weekend. If Manchester United can beat Stoke City away from home, they will tie the terrifying record of Mourinho's Chelsea's nine-game winning streak at the beginning of the Premier League.
