Chapter 903: Pointing and Beating

After the Manchester City Derby, almost everyone's eyes were focused on the Champions League knockout rounds. Few people noticed that there was a fifth round knockout round of the FA Cup before playing Inter Milan.

The reason for the lack of attention is mainly because Manchester United's opponent Crowley is too weak in this round.

Crowley is a team from the fifth tier of England. They are currently ranked second in the league, only 3 points away from the top spot. Coincidentally, this team is also nicknamed the Red Devils.

As a small town with a population of only 100,000, Crawley performed very well in the FA Cup this season. Starting from the first round, they passed four levels and entered the fifth round, during which they also eliminated the well-known team Derby county.

After the draw, the British best-selling media "The Sun" immediately spent a lot of money to buy Crowley's chest advertisement, and a world-renowned sports brand became Crowley's jersey sponsor for this game.

In addition to the sponsorship income, Crowley also received 4,000 Old Trafford tickets. The TV broadcast share was also unprecedentedly expensive due to his relationship with Manchester United.

For Crowley, winning Manchester United was like winning a jackpot. Because if they want to meet Manchester United again, they will have to wait for how many years. To this end, Crawley Club added text to its team logo to commemorate this game.

The players of Manchester United's first team are all paying attention to the Champions League knockout rounds, but for the players of Manchester United's youth team, the Champions League knockout rounds are too high-end and not something they can hope for. An FA Cup game is the stage for their performance.

Although few people pay attention to this stage, it is also the most important game after the Champions League and the Premier League. If you perform well, the coach will definitely take notice. If you perform well often, you may even be promoted to the first team. , embarked on the road to great success.

The night before the FA Cup match, Gao Xiaodong had just returned home from training when Pogba and Beibei came.

Tomorrow's FA Cup match, both Pogba and Bebe are in the starting lineup. Pogba is strong enough. With the help of Gao Xiaodong, he got a chance to play and defeated Southampton in the last game. Beibei deserves to be in the starting lineup in this game, but it is a bit complicated for Beibei to start.

Beibei came to Manchester United purely as a bundled deal. He was questioned at the beginning of the transfer. After the start of the season, he did not perform convincingly even in the FA Cup and League Cup. He was able to enter the starting lineup this time mainly because Ferguson wanted to Prove that you didn't buy the wrong person.

Pogba and Beibei came to Gao Xiaodong to learn from their experience. Back then, Gao Xiaodong gradually became the main force from the substitute, and gradually became the main force of the giants from a small team in Portugal, and then became the core of the giants. How to grasp the top position? Opportunistically, Gao Xiaodong has more experience than others.

Although Beibei is now the younger brother of the Portuguese Gang, he belongs to Mendes. Gao Xiaodong doesn't care whether he can rise to the top. But after Pogba signed with Xinglong Agency, even if he belongs to Gao Xiaodong, he Carrying the hope of Xinglong Brokerage Company to gain a foothold in Europe, Gao Xiaodong will definitely teach him everything he can.

"First complete your own job. As a forward, you have to score goals. As a midfielder, it depends on the position given by the coach. If the coach asks you to defend, you should do your defensive work first. If the coach asks you to attack, you should assist. Or score a goal. Only if you have done what you should do well will the coach recognize you. After you have done what you should do, you can try to do something outstanding in the next step. For example, Paul got a goal against Southampton in the last round. This is not just because you scored the winning goal, but mainly because you played well in the midfield. If you play poorly in the midfield and just score a goal, the Boss may not necessarily give you a chance. "

Gao Xiaodong has been carefully coached by two famous coaches, Mourinho and Ferguson, and has a much deeper understanding of football than ordinary players. It is no problem to guide two young players who have never made it to the first team.

Although Gao Xiaodong is only three years older than Pogba, he is now Pogba's idol. In Pogba's heart, Gao Xiaodong is almost omnipotent.

After hearing what Gao Xiaodong said, Pogba was deeply touched and said: "Brother Gao, can you show me your personal skills?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "It's okay to show off, but you have to ensure success or safety. Otherwise, it will not only be embarrassing, but the coach may think you are flashy and not useful. In short, I don't agree with showing off your skills. "

Beibei said: "I understand, Brother Gao means to focus on stability."

Gao Xiaodong said: "That doesn't mean you shouldn't show off your skills at any time. Showing off skills is also a bonus. It's just that you have to show off your skills when it's absolutely safe, such as leading by a big score or qualifying early."

Pogba had an insight and said: "Brother Gao, some players want to be excellent in skills, but why does the head coach always dislike him?"

Gao Xiaodong blinked and said with a smile, "Is this the case?"

Pogba said: "Of course there is, I've heard about it a lot."

Gao Xiaodong chuckled and said: "Yes, how can I say this situation? Every coach has different preferences. If your playing style is in line with the coach's preferences, of course the coach will like you."

Beibei said: "Brother Gao, give me an example, such as our BOSS."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Are you trying to trick me? If BOSS knew that I was talking about him behind his back, he wouldn't give me any shoes to wear."

Beibei quickly flattered: "You are the anchor of Manchester United, how can the boss give you small shoes to wear?"

Pogba also said: "Brother Gao, you are now an indispensable person for Manchester United. The BOSS loves you very much."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "Don't say that. Beckham and Ruud were both driven away by BOSS. I don't have as high a status as them in Manchester United now."

Pogba said: "Brother Gao, just tell us. We are not like you, who have the opportunity to perform in front of BOSS every day. We only have a few cup games a season. Our poor performance leaves a lot of trouble for BOSS." That’s it for a good impression.”

Gao Xiaodong actually always wanted to hit Pogba because Pogba was a bit sticky when playing football. He just deliberately teased them. When Pogba said this, he said seriously: "Actually, this matter is nothing. We Sir Alex Ferguson likes players who are brave, hard-working, and concise and practical. He doesn’t like players who stick to the ball and play tricks. Do you think you have the problem of sticking to the ball? If you do, change it quickly. Otherwise, you will never get into the first line. Team."

Beibei and Pogba fell into deep thought after listening to Gao Xiaodong's words, especially Pogba. He has good skills and strong body. He is the core of the midfield in the youth team. He has a lot of ball rights. His kicking is indeed a bit sticky and he doesn't handle it well enough. Decisive, Gao Xiaodong said this, Pogba woke up with horror and felt that Brother Gao might be knocking himself. Although he played well in the last game, he must not be careless against the fifth-level Crowley this time and must fight hard.

After imparting some experience to the two younger brothers, Gao Xiaodong encouraged them again and said that he would also go to watch the game tomorrow and hoped that they could perform well and enter Manchester United's first team as soon as possible. .

Although Gao Xiaodong is not old, he is Mr. Golden Ball, the core and captain of Manchester United. It is definitely a big opportunity to get his personal guidance and help. Both Beibei and Pogba feel that they have benefited a lot, and they feel sorry for Gao Xiaodong. More respect.
