Chapter 898: The Changes and Potential of the Mortal Enemy

Seeing the referee Marriner awarding a penalty kick, the stands at Old Trafford cheered loudly. The Red Devils stood up one after another, raised their fists and roared towards the court.

Ferguson, who was on the sidelines, rushed out of the coaching bench and gave a thumbs up to referee Marriner, praising him for his accuracy and decisiveness in making this decision.

Mancini rushed to the sidelines angrily. He opened his arms in an exaggerated manner and looked aggrieved, as if Lescott had not touched Gao Xiaodong at all and Gao Xiaodong was diving.

Seeing that referee Marriner was not looking at the sidelines, Mancini rushed to the fourth official and complained to the fourth official Atkinson.

Atkinson smiled and said: "Mancho, forget it, there is nothing wrong with Marriner's penalty."

Mancini said angrily: "How can there be no problem? Gao Xiaodong's collapse is too exaggerated. He is so strong, can he fall down with just a touch?"

Atkinson laughed and said: "That's a touch. Lescott didn't touch the ball."

Mancini said angrily: "Contact with body hair will also result in a penalty kick. Manchester City will never win at Old Trafford." After speaking, he angrily walked back to the coaching bench and smashed the windshield. One punch.

The penalty kick was taken by Gao Xiaodong.

With Gao Xiaodong winning the Ballon d'Or and being elected vice-captain, his status at Manchester United has risen sharply. Now no one will publicly question his penalty rights for penalty kicks and free kicks.

When he reached the penalty spot, Gao Xiaodong looked at Joe Hart and began to measure his steps backward.

Joe Hart was very nervous and thought to himself, this kid is probably going to shoot violently again. The speed is too fast and I can't react at all. I have to save it in advance, but this guy can do it with both feet. Which side should I shoot on?

Joe Hart had not yet made a decision after the referee Marina's whistle. It was not until Gao Xiaodong took off that he pounced on the left side of the goal.

However, Gao Xiaodong made a long run-up gesture just to mislead Joe Hart. After Joe Hart made the save, Gao Xiaodong kicked towards the center of the goal.

The ball flew into the net like lightning, 2:0. Gao Xiaodong scored twice and scored his 31st goal in the league.

After scoring, Gao Xiaodong rushed to the sidelines and ran to find Ferguson for a hug.

Ferguson was rushing to the sideline with his eternal celebration method. When he saw Gao Xiaodong rushing towards him like a bear, he was so frightened that he quickly stepped aside. His old bones could not withstand Gao Xiaodong's torment.

However, Phelan, who was closely following Ferguson, did not escape.

Gao Xiaodong knocked him to the ground and pinned him down.

Gao Xiaodong only weighed more than 80 kilograms, so it didn't matter if he pressed it. But Gao Xiaodong was fast, so the impact was really heavy. Feilan was almost knocked out of breath and couldn't even say congratulations.

China CCTV commentator He Hui said excitedly: "He can shoot explosively and cleverly, is powerful and cunning, has comprehensive skills and a clear mind. The 80 million spent by Manchester United last summer was really worth it. On the other hand, Manchester City spent a lot of money on summer transfers." More than 100 million, and more than 30 million were spent on winter transfers, but they still couldn't beat Manchester United, which was changing from old to new..."

With Gao Xiaodong winning the Golden Globe Award, He Hui is now doing on-site commentary for basically every game. Even against the bottom team, He Hui will come, because no matter what team is playing, as long as Gao Xiaodong is on the court, he will never comment. Without ratings, Gao Xiaodong has now become an idol player in China, and his fans have surpassed many first-line stars.

"Chinese fans are also suffering. Such a player was not selected for the national team because of the corrupt and incompetent Football Association. If Gao Xiaodong can be selected for the 2010 World Cup Asian qualifiers, the Chinese team will definitely not miss the World Cup in South Africa. Now football The anti-corruption campaign against gangs in the forum has come to an end, and the chairman and vice-chairman have been blamed. In the just-concluded Asian Cup group stage, China was in the same group as Uzbekistan, Qatar, and Kuwait. In the end, China ranked third with one win, one draw, and one loss. For the first time in history, China Without qualifying, head coach Gao Bo is likely to be fired. It can be said that Chinese football has hit rock bottom. I hope Xiaodong can sympathize with the pain of Chinese fans and lead the national team out of Asia and into the finals of the World Cup in Brazil."

When He Hui commented on Gao Xiaodong's games before, he seldom talked about the national team. The main reason was that Gao Xiaodong had conflicts with the chairman and vice president of the Football Association, and his relationship with the national team coach Gao Bo didn't seem to be good. He Hui No one can afford to offend anyone. Leaders who have conflicts with Gao Xiaodong are now being punished. It is a high probability that they will be sentenced. Moreover, domestic fans are calling for Gao Xiaodong to join the national team. He Hui has recently begun to talk about Gao Xiaodong joining the national team. National team matters.

However, He Hui is not optimistic about this. Although the chairman and vice-chairman of the Football Association who had conflicts with Gao Xiaodong have both cheated, no one knows whether the leaders of the Football Association will sacrifice their dignity to apologize to Gao Xiaodong and invite Gao Xiaodong to join the national team. I dare say, after all, the Football Association bureaucrats think differently.

Moreover, even if the leaders of the Football Association ask Gao Xiaodong to join the national team, Gao Xiaodong may not agree, because the current national team coach Gao Bo and Gao Xiaodong have a bit of a feud. At that time, Gao Bo asked Gao to return to the national team in order to run for the national team coach. Xiaodong used Gao Bo as a cover, but after Gao Bo took office, he was afraid of the power of the chairman of the Football Association and did not dare to recruit Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong felt cheated and was very dissatisfied with Gao Bo. Although Gao Bo later expressed his apology to Gao Xiaodong, he and Gao Xiaodong Gao Xiaodong did not relent. After Chairman Yang stepped down and new chairman Wei Ge came to power, Gao Bo continued to serve as the head coach of the national team. However, the narrow-minded Gao Bo did not continue to invite Gao Xiaodong to the national team, which resulted in the Asian Cup group failure. The sad result of not showing up.

He Hui saw Gao Xiaodong scoring twice to help Manchester United reverse Manchester City and become a derby hero. He sighed in his heart and complained. In this moment, the situation on the field changed dramatically.

Mancini saw that the score was lagging behind and that the 451 formation was unable to score. He made adjustments again, replacing midfielder Milner and replacing him with striker Dzeko bought during the winter break. The formation became 442. .

The 25-year-old Dzeko is a Bosnian player.

Before moving to Manchester City, he played for Wolfsburg. As the core, he led Wolfsburg to win the first Bundesliga championship in history and became the top scorer in the Bundesliga. His transfer fee of 32 million euros was also the highest transfer record in the Bundesliga.

Dzeko is 1.93 meters tall, has accurate shooting skills and good headers. He is a rare top center.

Previously, neither Tevez nor Balotelli were effective as forwards for Manchester City. Neither of them had strong header ability and could not form a fulcrum in the frontcourt.

After Dzeko came on the field, he was able to grab a header from Vidic, creating opportunities for Balotelli to deal with the inexperienced Smallin, and he could also header the ball for Yaya who was penetrating forward. Toure and Barry, let them shoot from distance.

The midfielder insertion is Mancini's most important tactic. After Dzeko came on, Manchester City finally took advantage of it and began to create murderous opportunities at the front of Manchester United's penalty area.

Because of Ferdinand's injury, Manchester United cannot suppress Dzeko, Smallin cannot defend Balotelli alone, and the back line is very tight. Unless they shrink their defense, there will be no good way to contain Manchester City's simple and efficient attack. attack.

Ferguson looked worried on the sidelines. This was the first time he had seen the changes that Dzeko had brought to Manchester City. However, he was not just worried about this game. It didn't matter if he lost this game. Manchester United had a huge advantage. , this season's championship is guaranteed, but after Manchester City's run-in, coupled with the huge purchasing power of Manchester City's boss, I am afraid it will be a huge threat to Manchester United next season.
