Restricted Superstar

The distance to the Double Red Society is getting closer and the atmosphere at the Carrington training base is getting more and more tense.

In such an England derby that fans all over the world are watching, no player wants to show it.

But a giant club like Manchester United has 35 people in the team and a large number of big-name players. The bench has the strength to play the main force in ordinary teams. The newcomers are also talents selected from a million. Not to mention the 11 starting players, even if they enter the 18-man roster. It's not easy.

In order to get a chance to play, Manchester United players all scrambled in training to impress coach Ferguson.

In addition to goalkeeper Van der Sar, even the absolute main players such as Gao Xiaodong, Evra and Vidic dare not careless. With Ferguson's stubborn character, if anyone dares to hang around in training, he will not be merciless.

After training in the morning, the players did not go home and all stayed at the base to eat nutritious meals.

During training, the players of Manchester United were mixed together indiscriminately, but when they ate, they saw the distance and closeness.

The three big men from Class 92 sat with Ferdinand, Rooney, Fletcher and the local gang, Vidic, Evra and the Continental European gang, Gao Xiaodong, Nani, Anderson and Beibei sat together, and Park Ji-sung was sitting next to Evra of the Continental European Gang, but it could be seen that he did not belong to the Continental Gang, but had a better relationship with Evra.

"Gao, you have performed too well recently. The main force hasn't run. When training, please cooperate with me more. I will perform well and have a playing time."

Anderson patted Gao Xiaodong’s flattering affectionately, hoping to get Gao Xiaodong’s support in training. He has just recovered from his injury. The main force is no hope at all. He just wants to have a good tacit understanding with Gao Xiaodong in training. There is a substitute opportunity at the Red Club.

"This is okay, you have this strength, you have to believe in yourself." It is not the starting lineup of Gao Xiaodong, of course the fat guy is happy to give favors.

Anderson happily said: "I have confidence in myself, and it takes too long to recover from my injury."

Nani said: "The match against Liverpool must be very fierce. You just recovered from your injury and it doesn't matter if you don't make it."

Right winger Valencia broke his leg and was reimbursed for the entire season. Now only Nani is good at playing on the wing. His main starting position is very strong. Nani is naturally proud of the spring breeze, and he is a bit full of words.

Anderson said: "I am in good health. The Double Red Club is the best opportunity for me to regain my main position. It doesn't matter how I can't make it."

Nani said, "If you don't perform well, your pressure will be even greater."

Nani is kind, but he has no skill and is too direct. Anderson is very upset when he hears it, "How do you know I will not play well? Maybe I will kill Liverpool."

Gao Xiaodong saw that the two teasers could quarrel if they went on, and laughed: "No one wants to miss the opportunity to play Liverpool, but it is the boss who decides who can play. Let's train well.

Anderson said: "Gao is right, this kind of game is not to be missed."

Nani stopped talking, just immersed himself in eating.

After dinner, when everyone went back to the dormitory to rest, Captain Gary. Neville called Gao Xiaodong to his room.

After letting Gao Xiaodong sit down, Neville said: "Gao, what do you think of tomorrow's game?"

The captain and big brother asked, Gao Xiaodong honestly said: "It's very important, it's hard to fight."

Neville said: "Yes, don't look at Liverpool's current state, we must be as good as we are playing, you have to be mentally prepared."

Gao Xiaodong said: "I have experience in Milan derby and Italian derby, and I will definitely value it very much."

Neville shook his head and said: "I'll give you an example. You know what the Double Red Club is like. In the 2006 Double Red Club, Liverpool defender Riise broke Smith's leg with a free kick and broke Smith's leg in the ambulance. When Smithra went for treatment, Liverpool fans once stopped the ambulance from going to the hospital..."

Gao Xiaodong has never heard of this story. He opened his eyes wide. "This is too lack of humanitarianism, right?"

Neville solemnly said: "Yes, in normal life, they are all caring people, but in Derby, they have all become beasts. The Double Red Society just wins by unscrupulous means. Don't think about things other than victory. ."

Gao Xiaodong also became serious and said, "I understand."

Neville smiled and said: "You are the most talented and fighting-spirited player I have ever seen. At 20, you are better than Giggs, Rooney and Ronaldo at 20. I hope you are helping the team win. At that time, don’t forget to protect yourself and don’t repeat the brainless work of the previous game."

Although Neville is a bit ridiculous and likes to see the glory of the past with his younger generations like an old man, his newcomers are really concerned about taking care of him.

Gao Xiaodong said: "Thank you, captain, I will protect myself."

Gary. Neville also told Gao Xiaodong some issues to be aware of in the game tomorrow, and then let Gao Xiaodong go back to take a nap.

Tomorrow will be the game. According to coach Ferguson’s habit, the starting list will be set after training this afternoon. This is almost the last chance for marginal players. In the afternoon’s training, the players’ desire to perform is even stronger. After Nandez and Berbatov scored, Rooney was eager to perform and almost fought against Evans, the backup center back.

After training in the afternoon, Ferguson announced the starting list: 1-Van der Sar; 22-O'Shea, 15-Vidic, 23-Evans, 3-Evra; 17-Nani, No. 10-Gao Xiaodong , 18-Scholes, 11-Giggs; 9-Berbatov, 7-Rooney.

The players who did not make the starting list showed disappointed expressions. Fletcher's face was sinking, while Raphael, Hernandez and Park Ji-sung didn't hear Sir Alex call them by their names until the end, and their faces were even more straightforward. Up.

Fletcher actually has a hunch, because he is an engineer, but Gao Xiaodong's defense is not inferior to him, but his offense is better. After Gao Xiaodong comes, his competitor will become Scholes, unless the opponent is too strong. , Need to strengthen the defense, otherwise he can only be a substitute.

Having been playing on the bench is naturally unable to compete for the captain, which is why Fletcher dislikes Gao Xiaodong.

However, Fletcher was a direct disciple of Ferguson, he was unhappy, but did not show it.

Although 20-year-old Rafael is young, he is a right-back. He is fast and good in steals, but he is strong and weak. He is a bit irritable. Against a giant like Liverpool, Ferguson certainly does not dare to take risks. The all-rounder O'Shea.

Rafael always thought that he had no competitors and could take the position, but he did not expect to be pushed to the bench. Of course he was very disappointed.

Hernandez has been in good condition recently, even better than Rooney, but his body is thin and the impact is not enough. Ferguson is worried that he will get lost in the fierce defense of the Red Army, so he chose the small tank Rooney.

Hernandez came here for the first time and was alone. Although he was dissatisfied with Ferguson's arrangement, he did not dare to be angry or speak.

As for Park Ji-sung, although he is now a substitute, the double red club at Old Trafford last season was Park Ji-sung’s header lore, helping Manchester United reverse Liverpool 2-1 and successfully climbed to the top in the 31st round of the Premier League. And completed the "Grand Slam" of the three giants of Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool, called the giant killer.

So Park Ji-sung started coveting the leader now, but he did not expect that Ferguson would not give him a chance in the end, which made Park Ji-sung very disappointed. Because there will be countless South Korean fans waiting to cheer him on tomorrow’s TV, expecting him to break through Liverpool’s door again. If he can’t play tomorrow, and the Hua Guo, who has been inferior to their ridicule, has players starting, I believe South Korean fans will Very uncomfortable.

Ferguson is very sophisticated. He knows the mentality of the players very well. After the announcement of the big roster, he left Rafael, Hernandez and Park Ji-sung and explained to them why they were allowed to substitute. He hoped they could Understand, and keep in good shape, always ready to debut.

Ferguson is the real boss of Manchester United and he is domineering. Rafael, Hernandez and Park Ji-sung dare not show the slightest dissatisfaction. They can only say so and completely obey the coaching arrangements.
