Chapter 730

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

Gao Xiaodong was a centre half player, but he didn't adapt to the simple and direct playing style of the Premier League and didn't cooperate with his teammates. He lost to the main team 2-6.

In a team like this, the score is normal. Gao Xiaodong has a good performance and scored a goal. However, Gao Xiaodong is very unhappy because he was fouled by Scholes, Fletcher, Ferdinand and others in turn in the game. They all cut and kick without courtesy, while the referee Ferguson pretends to be invisible, although Gao Xiaodong has super protective gear But the feeling of being kicked is not good after all.

What makes Gao Xiaodong even more frustrated is that he is not good at diving, and he can't retaliate directly. His strength is so strong that if he really hurts his teammates, what will weaken his team's strength.

Although the technical content of the Premier League is not as good as the Champions League, the pace is fast, the confrontation is fierce, and the referee is relatively loose. If the Champions League is well played, the Premier League may not be able to play well.

If Gao Xiaodong can't adapt to the confrontation and scale of the Premier League in advance, he will suffer a loss after the start of the league. That's why some big guys in Manchester United's class 92 deliberately play Gao Xiaodong and challenge him to see if he can stand the continuous fierce confrontation.

Gao Xiaodong's performance is very much to the taste of the big guys. After being kicked, he immediately got up to attack or defend and didn't 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 deliberately bared his teeth and hissed, as if he had been kicked in pain. "Is it too cruel?"

Neville suppressed a smile and said in a deep voice: "the league is much more fierce than that."

Gao Xiaodong pretends to smile helplessly. "All right."

Neville then said: "you don't have a house in Manchester. It's not a good idea to stay in a hotel all the time. Originally, Richardson in our youth training team of Manchester United played in Sunderland. He has a luxury house in Cheshire. He used to rent it to Tevez. After Tevez bought it, it's idle now. If you want to rent it, you can buy it."

After deciding to move to Manchester United, Gao Xiaodong discussed with Xiao Le where to buy a house.

in Manchester, the rich areas are Cheshire and Salford. Cheshire is about 30 km away from downtown Manchester. Its famous "Golden Triangle" is favored by players and celebrities from all walks of life. Many United players have bought luxury houses here.

there is only one Orville River between Salford and the center of Manchester, which is also very close to the Old Trafford stadium.

Gao Xiaodong had just arrived, and he didn't think about where to buy it. Neville said that Gao Xiaodong was very interested and said, "Captain, how much is it?"

"It's about 3 million pounds. It's very well equipped. It has five bedrooms, an indoor swimming pool, a Jacuzzi, a sauna and a fitness room. But if you want to buy it, you'd better go and have a look first," Neville said

Gao Xiaodong asked again, "how about the house over there in Salford?"

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

Gao Xiaodong said, "let me see Richardson's house."

Neville said, "well, I'll ask him when he's free. I'll show you."

"Well, please, captain."

"Don't mention it. You can go back with my car later. Don't let the boss see you off. His house is quite far from your hotel."

"OK, thank you, captain."

after taking a bath, Gao Xiaodong and Neville's mixed action Prius went home. Neville enthusiastically told Gao Xiaodong how to live in Manchester, how to deal with journalists, how to get along with fans and other skills. Gao Xiaodong listened carefully and flattered the team leader from time to time, which made Neville very useful.

To the Laurie Hotel, Neville to Gao Xiaodong left a mobile phone number, and then drove away.

On the second day of group training, Gao Xiaodong was still in the same group as the substitute, but he was arranged by Ferguson to play in the right half.

In Manchester United, the right half is played by Valencia, an Ecuadorian, and park is a substitute. Gao Xiaodong doesn't know what Ferguson means by arranging him to play in this position.

Although Gao Xiaodong seldom plays in this position, with the skills of S-class professional players, Gao Xiaodong is more than enough to play right forward.

It's Nani who opposes Gao Xiaodong. Nani doesn't like passing the ball. He happens to meet Gao Xiaodong who is faster than him in speed and power. Nani is suppressed and plays like shit. In the end, Gao Xiaodong's substitute draws the main team 3-3, and Nani is also scolded by Ferdinand.

After the training, Ferguson personally sent Gao Xiaodong back to the hotel. On the way, Ferguson told Gao Xiaodong that he would play right forward instead of central forward 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 old and let him be a substitute for Scholes. But this season, Gao Xiaodong miraculously led Inter Milan to become the treble with a price of 80 million, so he can't let Gao Xiaodong be a substitute for Scholes any more. He mainly bought the place of Rooney.

But Rooney's transfer has not yet been settled, Scholes is still in good condition, Gao Xiaodong's position is a bit awkward.

Let Scholes play as a substitute, it's a waste of Scholes' good form. If he replaces Fletcher, Gao Xiaodong's more energy must be used in defense, which wastes Gao Xiaodong's powerful attack.

In the end, Ferguson decided to put Gao Xiaodong on the right wing at the expense of Valencia, the lightning man who came from last season.

Gao Xiaodong has a premonition about this, because now Manchester United are still planning to keep Rooney, and Rooney's position in Manchester United is also very high. Ferguson can't take him directly. Valencia is a newcomer who came only last season. Originally, they have been playing in small clubs like vilva and Wigan Athletic, and they don't have a strong agent to back them up. It can be said that they have no relatives in Manchester United, and Ferguson let them For the time being, he gave up his seat to Mr. Gao Xiaodong, 80 million yuan. He had no choice but to accept it.

It's so easy to deceive Gao Xiaodong, but he didn't let Gao Xiaodong play the centre half he promised. Ferguson apologized, "Xiao Dong, you play this position for the time being. Our right back is a pit, and you need to help defend. If Wayne transfers, you play as a forward. If Wayne stays, it's not possible. If you do stay, you play with Scholes Centre half, but sometimes you play right half

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

"No problem, coach, just let me play, but I still want Rooney to stay. He is a world-class player."

Ferguson said with a bitter smile that Rooney's annual salary is also world-class. How can Manchester United and Manchester City have more money.

"The club is trying to keep him, but it's very difficult. You have a good rest. Tomorrow we will go to Dublin to play a warm-up game, then the community shield cup, and then the League will start."

Ferguson then drove away and went back to his room to rest, waiting for tomorrow's first warm-up game.
