Chapter 796

The second round of Manchester United's Champions League group match is against Valencia, the strongest opponent in group C.

During the summer transfer, beset by the financial crisis, the bat team sold villa, Silva, zjic and machena. These four players are almost the main offensive firepower and defensive mainstay of Valencia. Villa has 21 goals, the best local shooter in the league, Silva has 8 goals, and the high school forward of Serbia has also scored 4 goals, with more than 50% of the team's goals .

In terms of transfer in, Valencia just bought hertafe striker Soldado and Mallorca striker Adulis. From the data alone, the two are not much worse than villa and Silva, but their strength and the players they sold are totally unmatched.

However, it is surprising that after five rounds of La Liga, the battered bat team is 4-1, ranking first in the table, 1 point more than Bassa and 2 points more than Real Madrid. This is enough to prove that Valencia coach emery is not an ordinary person in training the team.

Valencia's strength is not weak, and their performance against Manchester United and the Premier League is also excellent. In history, Manchester United and Valencia have played each other six times, one win, one lose and four draws. They are equally divided, and no one can help each other. In terms of the overall performance against England, Valencia is 7-4-2, only lost to Chelsea once at home, and has an unbeaten record against other teams.

In the face of such an opponent, after the end of training the next day, Manchester United came out with bad news. Rooney was absent due to injury.

In the match with Bolton, Rooney started and scored a goal, but Rooney's condition was not good, and he was also kicked in the ankle by the opponent in the game. In the game, Rooney didn't feel anything, but the next day of training, Rooney felt pain. After the team doctor's examination, he found that Rooney's injured left foot was just when he was fighting Bayern last season Old injury, Rooney's injury has not recovered, the game was a foot, the result of the strong Rooney fat also can't hold.

Rooney was injured and there were also good young peas Hernandez and Berbatov, but Scholes was very tired after starting the campaign in a row. He was not in good condition in the next day's training and was weak in running. It would be very difficult to play well if he played Valencia in such a state.

In fact, this is also the old problem of Manchester United. The class 92 bosses are old, but the newcomers are not on top. Ferguson can only let them continue to play the main force.

Now that Scholes is tired and in poor condition in training, Ferguson can only make Gao Xiaodong ready to lead Manchester United against a strong opponent alone.

Wayne Rooney's injury and Paul Scholes's fatigue make it a good time for United's substitutes.

Anderson and Carrick, park and Fletcher, young striker Macheda and veteran Owen, are eager to replace Rooney and Scholes.

In the evening, Anderson comes to Gao Xiaodong's hotel.

Anderson is a former European golden boy. Before his injury, he was just like Gao Xiaodong. He could attack well and defend well. If he and Hargreaves had not been seriously injured, he would not have been able to return to his original state, and Ferguson might not have made up his mind to buy Gao Xiaodong.

Anderson and Gao Xiaodong both belong to Mendes' customers. They and Nani are also the core members of Portuguese speaking group. Now Scholes may have a truce. Anderson thinks the opportunity has come. He hopes Gao Xiaodong can cooperate with him more in the third day of training.

With Gao Xiaodong's position in Manchester United, if Anderson and Gao Xiaodong can have a tacit understanding of the cooperation, Ferguson will certainly be able to take a look at the arrangement when playing.

Anderson is very straightforward. He directly tells Gao Xiaodong what he thinks, hoping to get Gao Xiaodong's help.

Gao Xiaodong naturally also hopes Anderson and Nani can play, and it's better to become the main force. In this way, he will have a higher position in Manchester United. Naturally, he is full of promise.

Anderson left happily. As soon as he left, park Zhixing came in. The Korean star's idea is the same as Anderson's, but park Zhixing is more reserved. He brought Gao Xiaodong an old ginseng and a recipe of frog soup, but he didn't ask Gao Xiaodong for help.

Park is now close to Gao Xiaodong, and Gao Xiaodong also hopes to have his own supporters besides Mendes. He took the initiative to tell park that he must be the core of attack in the match with Valencia, Nani is the breakthrough player, and there are two positions in the midfield. Facing Valencia, Ferguson may consider the defensive ability of these two positions.

Gao Xiaodong's words are clear, he and Nani are the main attack, the remaining two positions must be the main defense, who has better defense, who has the hope to play in the game with Valencia.

Park Zhixing understood and knew that he didn't need any good performance in the attack tomorrow. As long as he did a good job in defense, he didn't dare to say in the first round, and the substitute should have a chance, he went home happily.

The day before going to Spain, the training was very intense. The main players and substitutes of Manchester United fought hard, which was no less than an official League Cup match.

Anderson and park, who were eventually taken care of by Gao Xiaodong, were both in the big list, but they didn't get the chance to start. Fletcher was the partner of Gao Xiaodong.Fletcher has strong strength, deeper qualifications, and is also the hometown of Ferguson. Scholes takes a rotation. He is the first candidate. Both Anderson and park have to stay away.

However, Anderson and park are not disappointed, because Giggs has played a lot in recent games. Although he is in the starting list, it is estimated that they will have a lot of time to play in the first half.

After the release of the starting lineup, the players left, and Ferguson left Gao Xiaodong.

"Xiao Dong, it's very difficult to challenge Valencia away from home. I really don't want you to take on the heavy task of attack alone, but Paul is too tired. If you don't let him rest, I'm afraid he will get injured. Carrick has just recovered and can't play in such a game, so it's up to you."

Ferguson is sincere. He is very conservative about the cultivation of Gao Xiaodong. He always worries about helping others. He tries his best to let Scholes take Gao Xiaodong with him. What's wrong with him in this way? Scholes can also share some saliva with Gao Xiaodong. However, Gao Xiaodong is young and has good physical strength. There's no problem with double matches in a week, but Scholes can't stand it. Ferguson can only let him Coles took a rotation.

In fact, Gao Xiaodong is very eager to lead the team alone. Although Scholes can share the praise for him when he fails, he also shares part of the honor when he succeeds. Gao Xiaodong comes to Manchester United with a sky high transfer fee. He still hopes to have his own representative work of leading the team instead of relying on the assistance and support of his elders to win.

"Boss, let Paul have a good rest. I will definitely lead Manchester United forward." Gao Xiaodong is full of confidence.

Ferguson is very satisfied with Gao Xiaodong's self-confidence, young people should have such vigor, but he warned: "you are Manchester United's attacking core, the first six league matches and a Champions League performance is excellent, Valencia will take a close watch on you."

Gao Xiaodong said: "don't worry, the stars who can mark are not stars. Even if Valencia send people to follow me, I will be able to use other ways to help the team."

Ferguson nodded slightly and said: "yes, it's a challenge and an opportunity. After all, Scholes is 35 years old and may retire at any time. If you can achieve good results this time, I believe you will soon become the new front court core of Manchester United."

"Thanks for the coach's trust. I will live up to you."

In the past more than a month, Gao Xiaodong has made many new teammates in order to consolidate his position in the dressing room, but the players' position in the dressing room ultimately depends on their performance on the court. For Gao Xiaodong, Scholes' rotation is just an opportunity. He is not happy yet.

Ferguson talked with Gao Xiaodong for more than ten minutes and then left Laurie hotel.

PS: Happy Mid Autumn Festival and family reunion.
