Chapter 882 Guidance

There has been a long-standing dispute between giants about the captaincy. Not long ago, during the World Cup in South Africa, the German national team had a direct falling out between Ballack and Lahm over the issue of captaincy. The German team's loss to Spain in the World Cup semifinals may also be related to this factor.

Manchester United in Gary. Neville has always had superstars with outstanding abilities, qualifications, character, and reputation as captains before, so Manchester United's captain has never had too many disputes.

Arrived in Gary. Neville, although Neville's ability and reputation are not the strongest at Manchester United, his qualifications are only comparable to Scholes and Giggs, and his personality is more suitable than Giggs and Scholes, so there is no one at Manchester United. Dare to be dissatisfied.

But after Neville retired, Scholes and Giggs got old, and Manchester United no longer had a captain who could stand out in all aspects.

There is no difference between Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra in terms of ability, similar qualifications, and not much difference in age.

Fletcher is of the right age and has sufficient qualifications, but Rooney is more suitable of age, has sufficient qualifications, and is even more capable and famous than Fletcher.

Any one of these five people is qualified to be the captain, but if any one of these five people is elected as the captain of Manchester United, he will not be able to convince the other four competitors.

Ferguson has also been having a headache about who to choose among these five people, otherwise Gary might have been allowed last season. Neville retired.

And this time Gary. After Neville actually retired, Ferguson had even more troubles, because in Gary, when Neville announced his retirement, he recommended Gao Xiaodong to Ferguson to replace him as captain.

Before officially retiring this time, Neville went to see Ferguson again. He once again solemnly recommended Gao Xiaodong to Ferguson. He believed that under the current situation, Gao Xiaodong was super capable and the most suitable captain was Gao Xiaodong. The only drawback was that he was too senior. shallow.

On the day Neville retired, Manchester United's official website announced the top five candidates for the next captain. Rooney, Fletcher, Ferdinand, Vidic, and Evra were among them, but Gao Xiaodong's name was not included, which aroused Gao Xiaodong's name. The dissatisfaction of Xiaodong fans.

Fans of Gao Xiaodong believe that although Gao Xiaodong has not been in Manchester United for a long time, in addition to his qualifications, Gao Xiaodong's ability, reputation and personality are fully worthy of the position of Manchester United captain. Now he can't even be considered as a candidate. It's really hard to let him go. The fans are convinced.

Before winning the Golden Globe Award, although Gao Xiaodong had the idea of ​​becoming the captain, he did not have much confidence. After all, his qualifications were still relatively young and he had many big bosses. After winning the Golden Globe Award, he still had the old captain. Neville supported it, and Gao Xiaodong felt that he could compete for the captain's position. Now that the official website announced the candidates, Gao Xiaodong didn't even have a name, which made Gao Xiaodong very suspicious. Among the players, Neville is also closer to him, a bit like a friend, unlike Scholes and Giggs who just regard him as a new teammate who needs guidance and support.

The day after Neville retired, Gao Xiaodong visited Neville at his home with gifts, seeking tips on how to become better.

"Gao, welcome."

Neville likes Gao Xiaodong very much. He thinks Rooney is useless, and Gao Xiaodong is the key figure in leading Manchester United to the next glorious era. This is why Neville supports Gao Xiaodong as the captain of Manchester United.

Although it was the first time for Gao Xiaodong to visit Neville's home, Neville's wife and children had long been familiar with Gao Xiaodong and were very enthusiastic about Gao Xiaodong.

After sitting down, Gao Xiaodong said: "Brother Gary, your retirement is so sudden. Everyone can't accept it."

Neville laughed and said: "My ability is no longer worthy of playing at Manchester United, and I don't want to transfer. Why don't I retire? I'm just waiting to be laughed at by the fans."

Gao Xiaodong said: "How can the fans laugh at you? You are a legend of Manchester United. No matter how many mistakes you make, it will not damage your status in Manchester United."

Neville smiled and said: "It would be great if the fans were as tolerant as you."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "That's because you have too high demands on yourself.

"

Neville said seriously: "In the world's top giants like Manchester United, pressure is everywhere. You must have higher demands on yourself, otherwise you will fall behind."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Yes, I feel the pressure. I have been working hard to improve myself."

Neville smiled and said: "Actually, you have done very well. Manchester United's current record was not achieved even when Ronaldo was here, but I think you can still take on greater responsibilities, such as serving as the next captain of Manchester United. .”

Neville knew that Gao Xiaodong might have come today because his name was not included in the list of captain candidates announced on the official website, so he directly changed the topic to this.

Gao Xiaodong was very grateful to Neville for his understanding and said: "Thank you, Brother Gary, for your support, but I seem to be out of luck. I am not included in the list of captain candidates announced on the official website."

Neville smiled slightly and said: "When will the official website decide who will be the captain of Manchester United? The only one who can decide who will be the captain is the old man. The official website is just showing off."

Gao Xiaodong suddenly realized and said: "Oh, you mean what was posted on the official website was not what Sir Alex meant?"

Neville said: "It can't be said that there is nothing wrong with it. Maybe the old man is using it to test the reaction of the fans and players. It turns out that the old man often plays this trick."

Ferguson is really an old fox. Gao Xiaodong secretly cursed and said to Neville: "Brother Gary, what do you mean, I still have hope?"

Neville said: "There should be, the old man is not easy to choose as captain."

Gao Xiaodong asked: "Why?"

Neville said: "Among the top five candidates, Ferdinand is very competitive, easy to be proud, and has suffered a lot of injuries recently. The old man may not choose him as captain. Although Vidic is very good in all aspects, he is not an English player after all. If Rooney had not caused the transfer and prostitution incident, the possibility is very high. Now I think the old man may not dare to let Rooney be the captain. As for Fletcher, his ability, reputation, and influence in the locker room are not as good as Vidic. Evra can't even be the captain of the French team, and he can only be a symbolic deputy at Manchester United. Who do you think the old man should choose to be the captain?"

Gao Xiaodong scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's not easy to choose this matter. It looks like the lord is going to draw lots."

Neville laughed loudly and said: "The captain of Manchester United is child's play, you can't choose it casually."

Gao Xiaodong said: "There can't be a real captain, right?"

Neville said: "Of course there will be captains, but I can't tell who the old man will put in the position."

Gao Xiaodong said with a shy face: "Brother Gary, how much hope do you think I have?"

Gary Neville said: "I think you are the most suitable captain of Manchester United, but the old man thinks you are too young and your qualifications are too junior, so I hope you can, but it won't be too big. I think your best option is to get a vice-captain first." , and then seek the opportunity to become captain."

Gao Xiaodong said disappointedly: "Even if Ferdinand and Vidic become captains, they may not retire in three or two years."

When Neville poured water for Gao Xiaodong, he patted Gao Xiaodong's shoulder, "Don't be impatient, you have plenty of time."

"I'm not in a hurry, I've only joined for half a season." Gao Xiaodong secretly muttered in his heart, I don't have that much time, I have to move to other leagues.

Neville saw the look of hesitation on Gao Xiaodong's face and said with a smile: "You really don't have to worry. In my opinion, maybe the old man will not arrange the captain rashly, and will continue to use the same situation, with several vice-captains taking turns to serve as captains." The on-field captain will wait until the end of the season to announce the captain.”

Gao Xiaodong was overjoyed when he heard this. Since then, the vice-captain's status in the team has been greatly improved, and as time goes by, he has become more and more advantageous. Gao Xiaodong feels that Neville really has no chance of his own this time. Come for nothing. nt
