Chapter 867

After Manchester United's away challenge to Chelsea, there is no match before Christmas, and all Manchester United players are in the rhythm of the festival.

For Europeans and Americans, Christmas is similar to the Spring Festival in China, but for Chinese like Gao Xiaodong, Christmas is dispensable. When his teammates are busy preparing for Christmas, his life is no different from usual.

On Christmas Eve, after the training, many of Gao Xiaodong's good friends invited him to their home for the holiday. Gao Xiaodong refused his good invitation and drove back to his home in Cheshire alone.

although some Christian Manchester United foreign aid can not go home, they mostly took their families to Manchester for the festival. Although Park Ji-Sung does not believe in Christianity, his parents also came to Manchester to accompany Park Ji-Sung.

Gao Xiaodong is the only player in the United team whose parents are not around.

But Gao Xiaodong is not lonely. At least Xiao le and monkey are with him.

When Gao Xiaodong got home, Xiao Le had already cooked a table of dishes, and monkey bought two bottles of Maotai from Huaguo supermarket.

Before dinner, Gao Xiaodong called his parents to wish them a happy Christmas.

Gao's father and mother have now returned to live in Yishan county. Yishan county is a small county. Few people celebrate Christmas. Old people like Gao's father and mother never regard Christmas as a foreign festival.

Hearing that Gao Xiaodong wished them a happy holiday, Gao's father said, "we are all old, so don't do this foreign thing. Chinese people, what kind of foreign festival do you have? You can't forget your roots. If you are homesick, you can come home for a few days during the spring Festival."

Gaoxiaodong some speechless, said: "Laogao comrade, pay attention to speaking, I do not mean to forget the Spring Festival, this year's Spring Festival can not go back, the league is in progress, there is no winter break, want to go back can only wait for the end of the league."

Father Gao said: "I know you can't come back. Don't worry about us. We're going back to Yishan county now. There are many acquaintances here. We can't spare any time every day. We also spend the Spring Festival with your uncles. It's very busy, but you are very lonely outside."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Comrade Gao, who said I was lonely, not to mention Xiao le and monkey accompany me, there are many friends from Manchester United who invited me to their home for Christmas. I heard that during the Spring Festival, Chinese also organize Spring Festival parties, which are more grand and lively than in China."

Hearing what Gao Xiaodong said, Gao's father felt much better and said, "tell your mother a few words. "

GAO Xiaodong said," OK, you call your mother, and I'll talk to her. "

GAO's mother took the phone, tears came down first, and said," Xiao Dong, I heard that it has snowed in England, and the weather is very cold. You should wear more clothes. "

"Yes, down jacket."

Gao Xiaodong looked at his sportswear and shivered. If his mother saw it, she would have to nag for half an hour.

Listening to Gao Xiaodong, Gao's mother said that she had put on her down jacket. She was very happy and said, "when you are young, you should pay attention to maintenance. If you don't protect your body when you are 20 years old, you will be fed up with 50 years old."

Gao Xiaodong said: "don't worry, mom, there are nutritionists and team doctors in our team. They have to do physical examination every day. They protect me better than pregnant women."

Hearing the word "pregnant woman", Gao Mu immediately opened her voice, "Xiao Dong, you are 22 years old. Now it's time to fix a girlfriend? Listen to your father, you often change girlfriends. "

Gao Xiaodong a listen to, the face is black, way: "listen to who say, when did I have a girlfriend, often change?"

"What your father read in the newspaper is said to be foreign women with blonde hair and blue eyes," Gao said

Gao Xiaodong wry smile, way: "Mom, newspaper words also can believe, those newspapers used to wipe buttocks are too dirty."

Gao's mother was still very proud and proud. Hearing Gao Xiaodong say so, she was worried and said, "do you mean you haven't found a girlfriend yet?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "Mom, what's the hurry? I'm only 21, not 31."

GAO's mother said: "that's no good. If you work, you have to find a girlfriend. If you have a girlfriend, you can get married later. If you have a husband, you can get married again."

Gao Xiaodong's head is big and he says, "OK, mom, I will work hard. You can rest assured that I'll hang up."

Gao Xiaodong hung up and said to the monkey, "monkey, do your parents force you to find your daughter-in-law?"

The monkey said with a smile: "why not force me, but I follow you every day. Where can I find my daughter-in-law?"

They are talking when Gao Xiaodong's mobile phone rings. It's Gary. Neville called. Gao Xiaodong was confused. He didn't know what Neville was doing at this time. He got through the phone and Neville said, "how did you spend Christmas, Xiaodong?"

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "thank you, captain. I have my assistant and agent at home."

"Oh, that's good. I was thinking, if you're alone, you might as well come to my house for Christmas." Neville road.

Gao Xiaodong said: "thank you, captain. No, it's very busy at home."

Neville said: "that's good, but the captain doesn't have to call any more. I'll retire after Christmas and the captain should be replaced."Gao Xiaodong said: "brother Gary, you will always be our captain, whether you retire or not."

When he was about to retire, Neville was not happy. It can be said that he had mixed feelings. Gao Xiaodong said that Neville was warm. He sighed and said: "thank you, Xiaodong. Your coming is also one of the reasons why I feel relieved to hang up my boots. At the end of this season, if we can win the league championship, it is estimated that Scholes and Giggs will be happy I'll hang up my boots. "

Gao Xiaodong said: "brother Gary, you should not hang up your boots at this time. Manchester United still need you, Paul and Ryan."

Gary. Neville said with a smile: "maybe Scholes and Giggs can still play a little bit, but I not only can not play a role, but also become a burden to the team, it's time to say goodbye."

Gao Xiaodong doesn't know about Gary. Neville gossiped about the meaning of this conversation. He could only continue to flatter him and said, "brother Gary, how can you be a burden? Rafael is not as calm and experienced as you. He just needs you to take him with him."

Neville sighed and said, "Rafael doesn't need me. He's on his own.

Gao Xiaodong said: "but the team's dressing room is not without you."

Neville said: "although there are many small groups in the dressing room, with Sir Alex in, I don't have to worry about problems in the dressing room. In fact, I'm thinking about the next captain."

Gao Xiaodong moved in his heart and said, "has the Baron not decided who will be the captain yet?"

Neville said: "no, if it was decided, it would have been announced."

Gao Xiaodong said tentatively, "isn't brother Ferdinand suitable?"

Neville said: "Rio is old and will be 33 years later. Sir Alex is worried about his condition and he won't play many games. Of course, the captain should be on the court every game."

Gao Xiaodong said, "where's Vidic?"

Neville said: "Vidic is good, and Sir Alex is optimistic about him, but he is not a native English player. This is a disadvantage. In addition, Vidic has few words. Sir Alex is worried that he will not play the role of captain."

Gao Xiaodong said: "what about Rooney?"

Neville said: "Rooney was originally the focus of Sir Alex Ferguson's training. If it wasn't for the transfer period, it would be Rooney's successor now. Now, it's hard for Rooney to convince the public when he is captain."

Gao Xiaodong stood up and said, "where's Fletcher?"

Neville said with a smile: "Fletcher would not wait until now if he could. Well, by the way, do you want to be captain?"

"When I'm surprised, Captain Gao Dong

Neville said, "yes, I asked you if you want to be one."

Yes, of course, I think about it day and night, but Gao Xiaodong thought about Neville's intention and then said, "yes, but I've come to Manchester United too short to be captain."

Neville said with a smile: "normally, you don't have the qualification to be captain, but now the situation is that you are more suitable than others. Arsenal can make an exception and let Fabregas be captain. Why can't we Manchester United? I'm ready to recommend you to the coach."

Gao Xiaodong almost jumped up when he heard that, but he still suppressed his excitement and said, "brother Gary, you recommend me. Will the Baron call you a fool?"

Neville said: "for the sake of Manchester United, even if Sir Alex hits me, I will say the same thing, but whether you can be captain of Manchester United or not is up to Sir Alex."

Gao Xiaodong said: "thank you, brother Gary, for looking up to me. I will always remember you whether I can be captain or not."

Neville laughed and said: "don't thank me. I'm all for Manchester United. You are the most suitable person to be captain of Manchester United. The only disadvantage is that you have too little qualification. But who knows what Sir Alex thinks, you should be ready."

Gao Xiaodong said: "well, brother Gary, no matter what, I will try my best to win more titles for Manchester United."

"Well, I'm glad you think so. Stop talking. Merry Christmas. Goodbye."

"Merry Christmas, goodbye."
