Mendes accompanied Gao Xiaodong to the hotel and did not leave. Instead, he followed Gao Xiaodong into his room.
After opening a bottle of drink for himself and Gao Xiaodong, Mendes sat down on the sofa and said: "Xiaodong, tomorrow you will officially start to adapt to the life of Manchester United. I have something to tell you."
"Mr. Mendes," you said Gao Xiaodong listened to Mendes carefully.
Mendes said: "you have experienced two leagues, Portugal and Italy. These two leagues are both continental style, with more emphasis on tactics and technology. The Premier League is more simple, direct and rough. You must pay attention to protect yourself and not get hurt. Look at Anderson and Nani, they both have the same talent as you, but injuries have a great impact on them. ”
GAO Xiaodong said, "I understand."
Mendes said: "where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. There are gangs in every dressing room, and Manchester United is no exception. Although Sir Alex likes you very much and values you, if you can't get along well with the gangs in the dressing room, I'm afraid it's hard for you to show your level."
Gao Xiaodong surprised: "is there anyone in Manchester United's dressing room who dares to disobey Ferguson's will?"
Mendes said seriously: "then you must have never heard of the story of Ronaldo. Sir Alex likes Ronaldo very much, but when Ronaldo first arrived at Manchester United, he carried the ball a little more. Manchester United were tied by Fulham once, and the whole team was a little angry. Back in the dressing room, Alan Smith scolded Ronaldo for carrying the ball too much, which affected the team's passing rhythm. C Luo was unconvinced and was beaten by Smith. Later, the Dutchman van Nistelrooy started fighting again because Ronaldo didn't pass the ball. Ronaldo also suffered a loss. You know van Nistelrooy was expelled later, but Smith of the local team has nothing to do with it. So if Ferguson dotes on you again, you have to fight for the position of the dressing room yourself. "
Gao Xiaodong said with a bitter smile: "originally, I heard that the former captain Keane knocked Heinze unconscious with one blow. I thought it was a joke. Now I know it's really so dangerous. It seems that I have to take a stick."
Mendes laughed and said, "dangerous? After Cantona and Keane left, Manchester United's dressing room is certainly not so dangerous, at most get a beating
Gao Xiaodong scratched his head and said, "I'm afraid of group fighting. If it's one-on-one, it's not sure who will beat whom."
Mendes said with a smile: "you don't have to worry. At Manchester United, you are not alone. Anderson and Nani are my people. This year, there is also a 190 young striker, Beibei. I told them that I must help you and trust them as much as possible."
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "so I'm the boss of the Portuguese gang."
Cough, Mendes almost choked, "boss? At United, Gary is the only boss. Neville, the rest of us are big guys at most. The local group is the most powerful. Captain Neville is the leader of the dressing room. Ferdinand, Giggs and Scholes are the three local groups. The mainland Latin group is the second most powerful. Now Vidic and Evra are on the top. They are Manchester United's big men. They can't offend. After you come, the Portuguese group is also the third largest force. You should unite with the original Dutch group Van der Sar, Valencia of Ecuador, and park Zhixing of South Korea will be able to win their dressing room status in the crevice of the local group and the Latin group. "
Gao Xiaodong said strangely: "isn't Rooney the number one of Manchester United? It's not the dressing room boss
Mendes said: "it turns out that Rooney is certainly the big man in the dressing room, but isn't he going to transfer? Besides, even if he can't change the meeting, his status will be worse. The four local leaders are very dissatisfied with him. "
"Thank you, Mr. Mendes."
Gao Xiaodong sincerely thanks Mendes. He got a lot of tips from Mendes when he transferred to Serie A. It can be said that Mendes' experience made Gao Xiaodong less detours when he integrated into Inter Milan. This is also the reason why Mendes didn't consider Gao Xiaodong's interests in two transfers, but Gao Xiaodong didn't break up with Mendes directly.
Mendes waved his hand and said: "you are the person I value the most. Of course, I will try my best to develop you. You are a very smart child. In fact, even if I don't say anything, you can handle a lot of things very well. I just want to remind you. The atmosphere of seniority in Manchester United's dressing room is very heavy and we have to respect them. Both Sir Alex Ferguson and captain Neville like players who are brave and hardworking. You can get their appreciation as long as you are brave and diligent on the pitch. Just like Berbatov, the talent is good enough. Because of laziness, he has not been liked by the local dressing room bosses
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "if I am diligent and dare to fight, I will not lose anyone."
Mendes said with a smile: "that's why Sir Alex is so optimistic about you. Your temperament matches Manchester United so well. OK, you have a good rest. I'm going back. By the way, your English is too poor to communicate. Manchester United's dressing rooms all speak English, and they don't like the translation in the dressing room. You can make up for it yourself
Gao Xiaodong said bitterly: "don't worry, coach." After meeting Emma in Rhode Island, Gao Xiaodong knew the pain of language barrier. He decided to learn from Xiao le.
After Mendes left, Gao Xiaodong didn't go to bed immediately. According to the information provided by Mendes and what he learned, he began to figure out how to make a foothold in Manchester United.Obviously, at the beginning, the local gangs must not offend them. They must make friends with them and get their trust. At the worst, they must be able to live in peace. The Latin language gangs are also powerful. However, if they want to improve their voice in the dressing room, they have to suppress them. Then they can win over van der Sar, Valencia and others. They will have a position to speak in the dressing room. If they can get the position of team vice president, he said I'm not sure I'll be able to compete with local gangs in the future.
Just as Gao Xiaodong is thinking about how to make a foothold in the dressing room, the local leaders of Manchester United are also talking about Gao Xiaodong, who has just joined Manchester United in the past.
Ferdinand said: "the boy beat us twice in the Champions League. When he comes to the dressing room, he must be very proud. He has to give the boy a bad impression, otherwise he can still take us in mind."
Scholes said: "it's better to teach him a lesson. Young people certainly don't know the superiority of heaven and earth."
Captain Gary. Neville is a talker. He just said: "Gao is the person valued by our boss. The boss says that he is the next Ronaldo. You should take it easy and don't get hurt. Otherwise, the boss will never end up with you."
Giggs said: "the boy is still very powerful. His style is more simple than that of Ronaldo. It's no problem to take over Scholes. We are all old. He is only 20 years old. If he stays at Manchester United honestly, he will become the new king of the Red Devils in the future."
Gary. Neville sighed: "I'm just going to have this season. Scholes and Giggs can last for two years at most. It's too late to wait for the boy to grow up. Rooney is not competitive. If he doesn't want to leave, he'll take xiaodonggao for a few years. When xiaodonggao grows up, Rooney will retire to the second tier perfectly."
Ferdinand said angrily: "Rooney is a man who doesn't have his own ideas. If the good Manchester United king doesn't do it, he will go to Manchester City for tens of thousands of pounds a week."
Gary Neville thought again and again and said: "no, I still can't let Wayne Rooney leave. Look at us. We are all too old, too young, too young. Only Wayne Rooney is in the Mesozoic era. For the sake of Manchester United, I have to persuade him again."
Giggs said: "it's no use trying to persuade him. He listens to the vampire streford."
Gary Neville said: "it's no use, you have to try. Drink it. I'm going to find Rooney."
Ferdinand said, "in that case, let's all go."
"Let's go together," Scholes said
Neville saw that everyone was willing to go and said, "OK." He took them to Wayne Rooney's house and asked him to stay again.
