Chapter 915 I'm Sorry

At the end of the game, Manchester United defeated the defending champion Inter Milan 2:1 in an away game, avenging last season's defeat.

Inter Milan was a loser in terms of appearance and result. The players were frustrated and had little hope of promotion. Except for Zanetti and Eto'o who came over to say hello to Gao Xiaodong, and newcomer Coutinho came to exchange jerseys with Gao Xiaodong, the others He didn't even say hello to Gao Xiaodong before he returned to the locker room with his head sullenly.

Gao Xiaodong didn't care either. He understood the feelings of his former teammates. No one would feel better if they replaced him, let alone the defending champion who had a high self-esteem.

"Coutinho, you are playing well, keep working hard, I believe you will become the new core of Inter Milan."

Gao Xiaodong gave Coutinho his ordinary jersey and encouraged him.

However, Gao Xiaodong is not exaggerating. A young man like Coutinho has talent and ambition. As long as his luck is not bad, he has great hope of rising to the top at Inter Milan.

"Thank you, Brother Gao, you played better than me in this game." Coutinho was so excited that he held Gao Xiaodong's jersey in his arms. Even though Gao Xiaodong was only two years older than him, he always held it in his arms. Gao Xiaodong regarded him as someone to imitate.

"Then you work hard in the next game. I'll be waiting for you at Old Trafford." Gao Xiaodong blinked and said to Coutinho narrowly.

Coutinho felt a little embarrassed and said: "I may not have a chance to play in the next game."

"Then prepare actively and believe in yourself. Based on your performance today, you will have a chance in the next game."

Gao Xiaodong didn't say much to Coutinho. He encouraged him a few words and went over to be interviewed by reporters who had been waiting anxiously.

This game is also Gao Xiaodong's first return to Meazza after leaving Inter Milan. Before the game, the media and fans had a lot of speculation about what kind of performance Gao Xiaodong would perform in this game.

Some people think that Inter Milan knows Gao Xiaodong well, and it will definitely not be easy for Gao Xiaodong to score at Meazza; some people think that Gao Xiaodong is an all-around fighter, and it will not be easy for Inter Milan to guard Gao Xiaodong.

After the game, Gao Xiaodong proved with practical actions that he could not be marked. He made great contributions on both offense and defense, scoring one goal. The other goal was also scored by Rooney after he shot.

The reporter's first question was to ask Gao Xiaodong how he felt after scoring a goal.

Gao Xiaodong replied: "I felt very conflicted at the time. I was happy and sad at the same time. I was happy that I scored a goal.

The sad thing is that I scored the goal of Inter Milan. If possible, I hope both Inter Milan and Manchester United advance, and now, all I can say is, I'm sorry. "

Gao Xiaodong then explained the reason why he did not celebrate after scoring, "It was out of respect for the Inter fans. They gave me a lot, and I gained a lot here. When I arrived in Milan, there were still many Inter fans there. Picking me up, they made me feel at home and I have to respect them. But I want to win, get to the Champions League final and win the title for the Manchester United fans, so I have to score goals."

The reporter asked Gao Xiaodong how he felt different when he returned to Meazza.

Gao Xiaodong replied: "Even though I am a Manchester United player now, I still feel like I am at home when I come to Meazza. Whenever I complete a beautiful move, I think the fans on both sides will applaud me in their hearts." Many times, I even feel like I am playing a training match with Inter Milan."

When a reporter asked Gao Xiaodong what he thought of the 2:1 score, Gao Xiaodong said that this was a very good score. This score means that Manchester United can advance even if they lose 0:1 at home, which can be an excellent relief. Players’ psychological pressure.

For wearing the captain's armband in this game, Gao Xiaodong expressed his gratitude to head coach Ferguson, "I am very surprised. This is the first time I have become the captain on the field. Before, it has always been Vidic and Ferdinand. It’s definitely a different feeling for the captain to play against the team he used to play for. I’d like to thank the coach for giving me this opportunity. I believe I didn’t let him down.”

Regarding the current problems of Inter Milan, Gao Xiaodong was unwilling to say more. He said implicitly: "Now that I am no longer an Inter Milan player, I can talk nonsense, but I still have the identity of a former Inter Milan player, so I must Be cautious. I think Inter Milan's strength is still there. They are still among the best teams in Europe. The fact that they just won the Club World Cup is the best proof. As for why the league results are so poor, I think it is a matter of mentality. Fans, players and coaches are all I'm too anxious, adjust my mentality, Inter Milan is still very strong."

Regarding whether he will return to Inter Milan, Gao Xiaodong replied: "It's hard to say about the future. No one is God, but I am very happy at Manchester United now and have no idea of ​​leaving."

The reporter also asked Gao Xiaodong how he evaluated Coutinho and whether he had any advice for Inter Milan's star of hope.

Gao Xiaodong said: "Before I left Inter Milan, I had contact with Coutinho. He is a very skilled and smart person. He is constantly pursuing progress and has a very bright future. I think he needs it now." Continuously improve yourself and make up for your shortcomings. At the same time, try to play as many games as possible. Only in games can you truly improve."

When Gao Xiaodong returned to the locker room after the interview, he met Chairman Moratti in the mixed tunnel.

Moratti had just come out of the locker room. His hair was gray and he looked very disappointed. He was much older and haggard than when he won the Triple Crown last season.

The two looked at each other and were both stunned for a moment. Then Moratti took the lead and said: "Hello Xiaodong, welcome home."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Thank you, Chairman. When I came to Milan, I really felt like home. The fans and players of Inter Milan are very good to me."

Moratti sighed, "Actually, I don't want you to come back, because you are too much of a threat. Your coming back means that our hope of winning is reduced by three points. Now Inter Milan needs a victory."

Gao Xiaodong also sighed and said regretfully: "Chairman, I'm sorry, I have no choice."

Moratti waved his hand and said: "You are blameless. As a Manchester United player, you are doing perfectly now, just like you did at Inter Milan last year. The only regret I have is not keeping you."

Gao Xiaodong smiled bitterly and said, "Chairman, I blame myself. It's not that you didn't stay, it was me who insisted on leaving."

Moratti shook his head and vented his emotions, "No, I think I didn't do my best. What I admire most are players like Ronaldo, Messi, and Ronaldinho. You don't count as me." My favorite type, now that I think about it, maybe you are the person Inter Milan needs the most..."

Gao Xiaodong listened quietly without interrupting.

After talking for a long time, seeing the two head coaches coming out to attend the post-match press conference, Moratti patted Gao Xiaodong on the shoulder and said: "Goodbye Xiaodong, if you don't leave tomorrow, come to my house for a drink." A cup of coffee.”

Gao Xiaodong bowed slightly and said, "Okay, if you don't leave, I will definitely pay you a visit."

Moratti left. When Ferguson passed by Gao Xiaodong, he wanted to ask Gao Xiaodong to attend the press conference with him. After seeing Gao Xiaodong's slightly sad expression, Ferguson gave up this idea and went alone. into the studio hall.
