Gao Xiaodong reacted quickly. As soon as he saw stoke players shift the focus of defense to Scholes and Nani, he immediately changed the way he played football, approached them, took over the organization and dribbling.
The on-the-spot command of the field coach is important, but they are not playing on the field after all. It takes time to pass on their intention to the players.
Pulis has just passed his ideas to his disciples. Gao Xiaodong has changed his playing style. Pulis can't immediately let his disciples change their tactics. Even if Pulis wants to change and the game is going on, he can't tell his ideas to the players.
Although the coach can't stop shouting and gesturing, there are nearly 30000 fans shouting in the stands around. The players on the field can't hear it even if they listen carefully. Let alone they are all concentrating on playing football. The shouting of the coach is just a little psychological comfort for themselves. In fact, the team leader plays a bigger role than the coach on the field.
Nani is a bit stubborn. Sometimes he only knows how to bring but not how to pass. However, Scholes is a very smart and experienced veteran. When he sees Gao Xiaodong coming to meet him, he immediately passes the ball to Gao Xiaodong. He meets Gao Xiaodong next to him and opens up the defensive players for him.
In the 30th minute of the match, Gao Xiaodong and Scholes made a two pass and one match in the middle. Gao Xiaodong took the ball and started to shoot. He buckled the ball and swung past a defender. At this time, Nani quickly went down from the side and raised his hand to ask Gao Xiaodong for the ball.
Nani's breakthrough is still the best for Manchester United. Gao Xiaodong wanted to pass the ball to Nani, but suddenly the old captain Gary. Neville showed up in his field of vision and dived from the side to the penalty area with no one to defend.
Gao Xiaodong immediately gave up passing the ball to Nani and replaced it with a straight plug on his left foot to pass the ball to the rib of Stoke's penalty area.
Gary. Neville is playing for Manchester United in his 600th game today. He has been very active before and often cuts into the opponent's half.
Today, however, United are focusing on Evra and Nani, Gary. Neville, after all, is old and explosive, so it's good to keep it. No matter Gao Xiaodong or Scholes, they just comfort Neville by passing two feet, most of the time they don't pass to the right side, so Stoke's defense on their left side is relatively loose.
Just now Nani and Gao Xiaodong attracted Stoke's attention, no one noticed Neville's insertion.
Gao Xiaodong passes the ball suddenly, Stoke City left back only then discovered that he has missed the person, hastens to pursue in the forbidden area.
Gary. Neville was very excited. He was about to pass the ball to his two strikers, but full back Collins had come up from behind. He hit Neville with his shoulder and then extended his foot to push the ball out of the baseline.
Neville fell in the penalty area, he raised his hand angrily for the penalty, he thought it was a no doubt penalty.
But the referee malinell didn't think it was a penalty. He beckoned Neville to stand up.
Neville was furious. He got up from the ground and yelled at malinell: "he hit me first! Isn't it a penalty? "
This is Manchester United boss, malinell had to explain to Neville, "this collision is reasonable, Collins has a chance to get the ball."
Neville is even more angry, chasing malinell: "but he hit first! Can't you see? "
Marinell was annoyed. "Gary! Please respect my punishment
Neville didn't show weakness either, "mariner! Please respect an old man who has played 600 games
Marinell really can't stand Neville's chatter, took out the yellow card to Neville.
Scholes, Fletcher and others also think that it is a penalty, but he is worried about Neville chasing the referee, but before he can get there, the referee has already drawn the card.
Ferguson on the sidelines was not happy. If it wasn't for Neville's 600th anniversary today, he would not have sent Neville to start. Unexpectedly, Neville was so impulsive and got a yellow card.
Neville's age and physical strength, after his yellow card, will certainly become a key target for Stoke City. Ferguson is worried that he will become a time bomb for Manchester United's back line, but he can't be replaced now. He can only look forward to the end of the first half or the first goal.
United's corner kick is still Scholes's penalty this time. Gao Xiaodong is not far from the top of the forbidden area, and it is still ethrington who is targeting Gao Xiaodong.
Scholes run-up, Gao Xiaodong again move forward, earn the front point, ethrington quickly catch up, but he left a mind, ready to reverse run.
Gao Xiaodong took a step to run, and suddenly stopped. He thought that he would do it again. I was not fooled. He quickly stopped and turned around, ready to run to the other side.
But after Gao Xiaodong stopped, he got up and ran to the front point.
Ethrington was shaken heavily and fell to the ground.
In the stands, Manchester United fans can't help laughing when they see Gao Xiaodong's empty run toppling ethrington.This time, Scholes passed the first point!
Gao Xiaodong quickly hit the ball, and the ball flew to the back point.
It's not Nani, but Vidic, who is United's last point.
Although Stoke's players are ready to defend at the back of the line, it's full back Collins who can't compete with Vidic. The ball is ferried back to the penalty area by Vidic again to find Berbatov, the core member of the mainland gang.
At the moment, the goalkeeper has run to the far corner, leaving most of the goal for Berbatov, but after two passes, Berbatov has turned his back to the goal.
But it's not easy to be smart. Berbatov jumped high, ready to hang the golden hook upside down and hook the ball into the goal.
But Stoke's defenders are not vegetarians either. Faye secretly reaches out his hand and pulls Berbatov down. Berbatov's design is just right. Faye pulls the ball from the tip of his foot.
After the ball was missed by Berbatov, it flew right in front of Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong did not expect that after he rubbed the ball, the ball could fly back.
Such a big gift, Gao Xiaodong of course will not miss, the ball is suitable for his height, Gao Xiaodong easy header, the ball flew into the net close to the gatepost.
1: 0
after the goal, Gao Xiaodong excitedly lifted up his shirt, revealing the five Chinese characters "dedicated to my little partner" written on it, and ran to the grandstand like the wind.
Before that, Gao Xiaodong repeatedly failed to score and hit two gateposts. No one thought that Gao Xiaodong would score in this corner. No one thought that Gao Xiaodong had picked up a leak.
Ferguson and the coaching staff rushed out of the coach's table to celebrate. Sir Alex raised his hands. His excited rosacea became more red, his gum vomited, and he cried, "OK! How nice
Stoke coach Pulis has a wry smile on his face. Madder, the tactical design of a corner kick is so complicated, just to fight Stoke City. Is that right? You are Manchester United!
Live commentator Andy. Gray applauded and sighed, "football is really wonderful. Xiao Donggao didn't score such a wonderful goal before, but this time he scored a header without difficulty! But we want to congratulate Xiao Donggao on scoring a goal on his birthday! At the age of 20, he led Inter Milan to the treble. At the age of 21, he became the core and thigh of Manchester United. Only Ronaldo, Pele and Messi can match this achievement
He Hui, a Chinese commentator, almost jumped up in excitement. He yelled to the fans in front of the TV: "Xiao Dong has finally scored! Scoring on his own birthday is his best gift to the fans! If you can win the final victory, this birthday will be more perfect! We saw the words written in Xiaodong's Jersey. It's dedicated to my little partner. Who is this little partner? "
After cheering and celebrating, the fans are also guessing:
"is this little friend one or a group?"
"What's the name of this little fellow?"
"Is this little friend a man or a woman?"
"Did you make any mistakes? Is it a sexual partner? "
“……”
Of course, only Zhu Daqiang and sun Haitao, who are sitting in front of the TV and computer watching the live broadcast, know that this goal is dedicated to them. They are proud of having friends like Gao Xiaodong.
