Chapter 923: 1 Slap in the Face

There was not much time left in the first half, but Manchester United's offensive became more and more fierce, with both wings flying together and constantly getting shooting opportunities.

Liverpool's players tried their best to control the rhythm of the game in their own hands, but Manchester United was two goals behind and was desperate to score. Liverpool could not seize the ball and could only be beaten passively.

At the 45th minute of the first half, Nani and Gao Xiaodong passed Rodriguez in a one-on-one. Nani caught up with the ball and prepared to attack the baseline.

At this time, full-back Carragher rushed over to meet Nani and tackled him with both feet.

Nani conceded the team's second goal due to a mistake today. He felt guilty. Faced with Carragher's fierce tackle, he did not avoid it. He wanted to push the ball away and then dodge, but Carragher's tackle was too fast. Very quickly, with his feet off the ground, he rushed towards Nani's head and tackled him.

Nani saw Carragher showing his spikes and not closing his feet. It was too late to hide.

Carragher's feet shoved hard on Nani's calf. Nani screamed and fell to the grass like a felled tree.

Carragher tackled Nani, stood up as if nothing had happened, pointed at Nani and said Nani was acting.

The Manchester United fans in the stands shouted for a red card, but there were more Liverpool fans. They worked together to shout "Fuck!" and suppressed all the voices of the Manchester United fans.

Ferguson was angry. He rushed to the sidelines and yelled at the referee: "Did he want to kill someone?"

Dalglish frowned on the sidelines, feeling Carragher was a bit reckless and this was a red card move.

Gao Xiaodong was nearby. He was very angry when he saw Carragher showing off his spikes. Unexpectedly, Carragher actually said Nani was acting.

"Go to hell with your acting!"

Gao Xiaodong rushed over and pushed Carragher in the chest.

Although Gao Xiaodong was angry, he didn't completely lose his mind. The power of this palm was not very strong.

Carragher stumbled and did not pretend to fall, but did something even more disgusting. He cursed, "Yellow-skinned brat!" and spat in Gao Xiaodong's face.

Gao Xiaodong had never been insulted like this before. He was already very angry just now, and now he lost his mind even more. He raised his hand and slapped Carragher directly.

Carragher was stunned;

He had no idea that Gao Xiaodong, who was a head shorter than him, would dare to slap him. When he reacted and pounced on Gao Xiaodong, Liverpool players and Manchester United players came over. The Manchester United players went to stop Carragher, and the Liverpool players When I went to push Gao Xiaodong, more than a dozen people were pushing and shoving, and the situation was about to intensify.

Ferguson was shocked when he saw Gao Xiaodong slap Carragher directly. He didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to be so uncool.

"This bastard boy!"

Ferguson was so angry that he strode towards the court, trembling all over, but was held tightly by the fourth official.

At this time, the referee Dodd finally arrived. He directly took out the red card and showed it to Gao Xiaodong, and then took out the yellow card and wanted to show it to Carragher.

Carragher was overjoyed when he saw that the referee Dodd gave him a yellow card, and thought to himself, if he only got a yellow card, the slap would be worth it.

Unexpectedly, Gao Xiaodong saw that the referee took out a yellow card. He thought to himself, my red card can't make you feel better. He stepped forward and held the referee Dodd's hand and said: "Referee, he vomited." I was drooling, look, here you are, and he just shoveled Nani with his spikes, so you gave him a yellow card?"

Referee Dodd saw the saliva on Gao Xiaodong's face and Nani still on the ground clutching his leg in pain. He put the yellow card into his pocket, took out the red card and showed it to Carragher.

In an instant, the old hen turned into a duck. Carragher was very depressed. He defended the referee Dodd: "I didn't spit, he was lying."

The referee Dodd had already made the penalty, how could it be changed? He pointed to the outside of the field and told Carragher and Gao Xiaodong to leave the field quickly, and then asked Nani to be carried out on a stretcher.

After Gao Xiaodong calmed down, he regretted a little and felt that he had been too impulsive. However, the situation was now irreversible. He took off the captain's armband and handed it to Rooney who came to comfort him. "Wayne, it's up to you."

Rooney nervously took over the captain's armband and said to Gao Xiaodong: "I will try my best."

Gao Xiaodong nodded, turned and walked to the locker room amidst the boos of Liverpool fans.

The on-site commentator He Hui was already shocked, "Oh my God! Xiaodong actually slapped Carragher in front of 670 million fans! Although Carragher should have been slapped! But he was too uncool! Today he But this is the first time he wears the captain's armband in the league! Manchester United still expects him to score goals! He got a red card, at least a suspension, and maybe additional penalties. At this time, I think Sir Alex Ferguson will give him a good beating. My heart suddenly changed, alas! The Invincible Golden Body is probably broken, Xiaodong should be careful about the Lord's hair dryer."

In the VIP box, Glazer's eldest son Avram also came. He frowned and said to his younger brother Joel: "Is this the captain Sir Alex Ferguson favors? He's too uncool! He still looks too young, I think. It’s better for the captain to be more mature.”

Joel had been bragging about Gao Xiaodong before, but he didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to do such an impulsive thing. He smiled bitterly and wanted to defend Gao Xiaodong, but he had nothing to say.

When Carragher tackled Nani, the first half had already entered stoppage time. After the quarrel between Carragher and Gao Xiaodong, referee Dodd only gave Manchester United a free kick opportunity. Manchester United's attack failed. After the dead ball, Dodd blew the whistle to end the first half.

When the Manchester United players returned to the locker room, Gao Xiaodong was taking a shower.

Ferguson had a gloomy face and stood silently at the door, as if waiting for Gao Xiaodong to come out.

The players all felt the smell of a storm coming, and they were all so scared that they just silently took off their sneakers and shin pads, relaxed their muscles silently, and did not dare to express their anger.

After three or four minutes, Gao Xiaodong came out. The Manchester United players all thought that Ferguson's blower was about to start. However, after Ferguson had been brewing for so long, he said gently: "Xiaodong! Why are you so impulsive?"

Giggs and Scholes had never heard this resentful tone after following Ferguson for more than 20 years. The two of them looked at each other in surprise, nodded in unison, and thought to themselves, the old man really Old.

Gao Xiaodong also didn't expect that Ferguson didn't get angry. He said sheepishly: "I'm sorry, Boss, I was impulsive."

Ferguson said in a deep voice: "You should apologize to your teammates, especially Nani. We had hoped to beat one more person..."

"Yes, I apologize to my teammates." Gao Xiaodong said yes, but in his heart, he was thinking that the referee was not prepared to give a red card at all. If it hadn't been for me, I would have just given him a yellow card.

"It's good to realize the mistake. Fortunately, we still have a certain points advantage, otherwise it would be dangerous. We can't be so uncool in the future and go back and pay the fine..."

Ferguson criticized Gao Xiaodong for a few words, and then began to explain the tactics of the second half.

It's not that Ferguson doesn't want to criticize Gao Xiaodong, just like he did to Beckham, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Keane and Ronaldo, but the situation at Manchester United is now different from before. It turns out that he has a team of Class 92 under him, and they are gone. No one can affect Manchester United's results.

Now only the 37-year-old Giggs and Scholes are left in the Class of 92. The others are old and young, and they are not taking over. With this result, Gao Xiaodong takes the most credit. The situation is better than others. Ferguson really can’t do it now. Dare to risk breaking up with Gao Xiaodong and criticize Gao Xiaodong.

Ferguson can only hope that Gao Xiaodong can learn a lesson and not do such stupid things in the future.
