Restricted Superstar

In the afternoon, Manchester United had a group rivalry. Gao Xiaodong, as a new aid, did not appear in the main group. He and the substitutes formed a team against Rooney, Scholes and other main teams.

Gao Xiaodong played a central midfielder, but Gao Xiaodong did not adapt to the simple and direct way of playing in the Premier League, and he did not cooperate with his teammates. In the end, he lost to the main lineup 2:6 as a substitute.

In a team fight like this, such a score is normal. Gao Xiaodong personally performed well and scored a goal. However, Gao Xiaodong was very upset because he was beaten by Scholes, Fletcher, and Ferdinand in the game. Waiting for people to take turns to foul, they are all unceremonious tackles and kicks, but the referee Ferguson pretends to be invisible. Although Gao Xiaodong has super protective equipment on his body, the feeling of being kicked is uncomfortable after all.

What makes Gao Xiaodong more embarrassed is that he is not good at flopping, nor can he directly retaliate back. His strength is so great that if he shovels his teammates, it weakens his team's strength.

Although the technical content of the Premier League is not as good as the Champions League, it is fast-paced and fierce, and the referee is relatively relaxed. The Champions League is played well, and the Premier League may not be able to play well.

If Gao Xiaodong cannot adapt to the confrontation and standards of the Premier League in advance, he may suffer a loss after the start of the league. That's why the big guys in Manchester United's 92nd class deliberately kicked Gao Xiaodong and provoke him to see if he can withstand this continuous fierce confrontation.

Gao Xiaodong's performance is in line with the appetites of the big guys. After being kicked, he immediately got up to attack or defend, and did not sit there complaining. If this attitude can be maintained, it will be no problem to adapt to the Premier League.

After the match, Captain Neville came to Gao Xiaodong and said, "How do you feel?"

Gao Xiaodong grinned deliberately, making a hissing sound, as if he was kicked very painfully, "Is it too cruel."

Neville held back a smile and said solemnly: "The league is much harder than this."

Gao Xiaodong smiled helplessly. "Ok."

Neville went on to say: "You don’t have a house in Manchester yet, and staying in a hotel is not an option. Originally, Richardson, who was in our Manchester United youth training team, is now playing in Sunderland. He has a mansion in Cheshire. Lean it to Tevez. After Tevez bought the house, it is now idle. If you want to rent it, you can buy it."

After confirming the transfer to Manchester United, Gao Xiaodong and Xiao Le discussed where to buy a house.

In Manchester, the wealthy areas are in Cheshire and Salford. Cheshire is about 30 kilometers away from Manchester city. Its famous "Golden Triangle" is favored by players and celebrities from all walks of life. Many Manchester United players have bought luxury homes here. .

Salford and Manchester city centre are separated by the Ouville River, and Old Trafford Stadium is also very close. It is a concentrated place for Manchester United fans and all kinds of service facilities are complete.

Gao Xiaodong just arrived and didn't consider where to buy it. Neville said that Gao Xiaodong was very interested, and said, "Captain, how much will it cost?"

Neville said: "About £3 million, the facilities are very well equipped, with five bedrooms, indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, fitness room, but if you want to buy, you should go and see."

Gao Xiaodong asked again: "How about the house in Salford?"

Neville said: "Salford is also good, very bustling, very close to the stadium, if you like lively, choose Salford, if you like quiet, choose Cheshire."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Let me take a look at Richardson's house."

Neville said: "Okay, I will ask him when he has time. I will take you to see."

"Okay, then trouble Captain."

"You're welcome, please go back with my car, don't let the boss see you off, his house is quite far away from your hotel."

"Okay, thank you Captain."

After the shower, when Gao Xiaodong and Neville’s mixed Prius went home, Neville enthusiastically told Gao Xiaodong how to live in Manchester, how to deal with reporters, how to get along with fans and other skills. Gao Xiaodong listened carefully and patted from time to time. The captain's flattery made Neville very useful.

At the Laurie Hotel, Neville left Gao Xiaodong's cell phone number, and then drove away.

In the group training the next day, Gao Xiaodong was still in the same group with the bench, but Ferguson arranged to play right midfielder.

In Manchester United, the right midfielder was played by Ecuadorian Valencia, and Park Jixing was a substitute. Gao Xiaodong didn't know what Ferguson meant by arranging him to play this position.

Although Gao Xiaodong rarely plays this position, but with the skills of an s-level professional player, Gao Xiaodong is more than enough to play right midfielder.

It was Nani who was facing Gao Xiaodong. Nani didn't like to pass the ball. He happened to meet Gao Xiaodong who was stronger than him in speed and strength. Nani was suppressed and played like shit. In the end, Gao Xiaodong was on the bench. 3:3 tied the main team, and Nani was also scolded by Ferdinand as a doggie.

After the training, Ferguson personally sent Gao Xiaodong back to the hotel. On the way, Ferguson told Gao Xiaodong that he would play the right midfielder instead of the central midfielder in the warm-up match with the Irish Stars tomorrow.

Last season, Ferguson wanted to buy Gao Xiaodong, who played well in Porto, mainly considering that Scholes was older and let Gao Xiaodong be a substitute for Scholes, but this season Gao Xiaodong magically led Inter Milan to become the triple crown. Wang, worth 80 million, can no longer let Gao Xiaodong be a substitute for Scholes. He bought it mainly to replace Rooney.

However, Rooney's transfer has not yet been negotiated, Scholes is still in good shape, Gao Xiaodong's position is a bit embarrassing.

If Scholes is on the bench, it will waste Scholes's good state. If he replaces Fletcher, Gao Xiaodong's more energy must be used on defense, which in turn wastes Gao Xiaodong's powerful offensive power.

In the end, Ferguson decided to place Gao Xiaodong in the right midfielder position, at the expense of the Flash Valencia who was transferred last season.

Gao Xiaodong had a hunch about this, because now Manchester United still intends to keep Rooney, Rooney's status in Manchester United is also quite high, Ferguson can not directly take him, and Valencia is a newcomer who came last season, and he has been in Recreativo. , Wigan Athletic plays for a small club, and there is no strong agent to back up. In Manchester United, it can be said to be unaccompanied. Ferguson asked him to temporarily give way to 80 million Mr. Gao Xiaodong. He has no choice but to accept it. .

It was easy to fool Gao Xiaodong, but he did not let Gao Xiaodong play the midfielder he promised. Ferguson apologized, "Xiaodong, you play this position for the time being. Our right back is a pit, and we need your help in defense. If Wayne In a transfer, you go to play forward. If Wayne stays, this is unlikely. If you really stay, then you will partner with Scholes to play a midfielder, but sometimes you will also play a right midfielder. "

Can Gao Xiaodong not agree? For Gao, he is not afraid of playing any position. He has all-position skills. The difference is that which position is better and has more commercial value. The right midfielder can attack or defend. Whether Rooney transfers or not, Gao Xiaodong is still acceptable. .

"No problem, coach, just let me play, but I still hope Rooney stays, he is a world-class player."

Ferguson smiled bitterly, thinking that Rooney's annual salary is also world-class, how can Manchester United and Manchester City have more money.

"The club is making every effort to keep him, but it is very difficult. You have a good rest. Tomorrow we will go to Dublin to play a warm-up match, then the Community Shield, and then the league will begin."

After Ferguson finished speaking, he drove away and went back to his room to rest, waiting for the first warm-up match tomorrow. 8)
