Chapter 886

There is a long-standing dispute over the captaincy of the rich and powerful teams. Not long ago, during the world cup in South Africa, Ballack and Rahm fell out directly because of the captaincy problem of the German national team. The German team lost to Spain in the semi-final of the world cup may also be related to this factor.

United are in Gary. Neville has always had the ability, qualifications, character, fame and other aspects of the star to serve as captain, so Manchester United captain has never been too much dispute.

It's Gary. Neville, although Neville's ability and fame are not the strongest in Manchester United, his qualification is only comparable to that of Scholes and Giggs, and his personality is more suitable than that of Giggs and Scholes, so no one dares to disagree with him in Manchester United.

But after Neville retired, Scholes and Giggs are old and old, and Manchester United will no longer have outstanding captains in all aspects.

Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra have the same abilities, qualifications and ages.

Fletcher's age is moderate and qualification is enough, but Rooney's age is more appropriate and qualification is enough. His ability and reputation are better than Fletcher's.

Any one of these five people is qualified to be captain of Manchester United, but none of them can convince the other four rivals.

Ferguson has always had a headache as to which of these five people to choose, otherwise Gary might have been allowed last season. Neville retired.

And this time, Gary. After Neville's retirement, Ferguson's troubles are more, because when Gary Neville announced his retirement, he once recommended Gao Xiaodong to replace him as captain.

Before retiring, Neville went to Ferguson again. He once again solemnly recommended Gao Xiaodong to Ferguson. He thinks that under the current situation, Gao Xiaodong is the most suitable captain with super ability. The only disadvantage is that he has too little qualification.

On the day of Neville's retirement, Manchester United's official website announced the top five candidates for the next captain. Rooney, Fletcher, Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra were among them, but there was no name of Gao Xiaodong, which caused the dissatisfaction of Gao Xiaodong's fans.

Gao Xiaodong's fans believe that although Gao Xiaodong has not joined Manchester United for a long time, in addition to his qualifications, Gao Xiaodong's ability, fame and personality are all worthy of the position of captain of Manchester United. Now he can't even be a candidate. It's hard to convince the fans.

Before winning the Golden Globes, Gao Xiaodong had the idea of being a captain, but he didn't have much confidence. After all, he was still young and had many big men on his head. After winning the Golden Globes, Neville, the old captain, supported him. Gao Xiaodong felt that he could fight for the position of captain. Now he announced the candidate on the official website, and Gao Xiaodong didn't even have a name, which made him feel very happy Dong is very suspicious, he decided to go to Neville to find out. Among the Manchester United giants, Neville is closer to him, a bit like a friend, unlike Scholes and Giggs, who just regard him as a new teammate who needs guidance and support.

On the second day of Neville's retirement, Gao Xiaodong came to Neville's home with a gift to seek the know-how.

"Gao, welcome."

Neville likes Gao Xiaodong very much. He thinks Rooney can't do much. Gao Xiaodong is the key person to lead Manchester United to the next brilliant era, which is why Neville supports Gao Xiaodong as the captain of Manchester United.

Although Gao Xiaodong is the first time to visit Neville's family, Neville's wife and children have long been familiar with Gao Xiaodong and are very enthusiastic about him.

After sitting down, Gao Xiaodong said: "brother Gary, your retirement is so sudden that everyone can't accept it."

Neville said with a smile: "I'm not good enough to play at Manchester United. I don't want to transfer. What do I do if I don't retire? I'm waiting to be laughed at by the fans."

Gao Xiaodong said: "how can the fans laugh at you? You are a legend of Manchester United. No matter how many mistakes you make, it will not affect your position in Manchester United."

Neville said with a smile: "if only the fans were as tolerant as you are."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "that's because you have too high requirements for yourself."

Neville said seriously: "in Manchester United, the world's top giants, the pressure is everywhere, you have to have higher requirements for yourself, or you will fall behind."

Gao Xiaodong said: "yes, I feel the pressure, I have been trying to improve myself."

Neville said with a smile: "in fact, you have done very well. United's current record, even when Ronaldo was here, has not been achieved. But I think you can take on more responsibilities, such as being the next captain of United."

Neville knew that Gao Xiaodong might have come here today for the purpose of announcing the captain candidate list on the official website without his name, so he turned the topic directly to it.

Gao Xiaodong was very grateful for Neville's understanding and said: "thank you for brother Gary's support, but I don't seem to have a chance. I didn't even have the chance to announce the captain's candidate list on the official website."

Neville said with a smile: "when will the official website decide the captain of Manchester United? It's only the old man who decides who will be the captain. The official website is to let go."

Gao Xiaodong suddenly realized and said, "Oh, you mean that the official website doesn't mean that it's a baron?"Neville said: "it can not be said that there is no, maybe the old man is used to test the reaction of the fans and players. It turns out that the old man often plays this hand."

Ferguson is a real fox. Gao Xiaodong said to Neville, "brother Gary, do you mean I still have hope?"

Neville said: "there should be, the old man is not a good choice for the captain."

Gao Xiaodong said: "why?"

Neville said: "among the five candidates, Ferdinand is very competitive and easy to be proud. Recently, there are many injuries. The old man didn't have to choose him as captain. Although Vidic is very good in all aspects, he is not a native English player after all. If Rooney doesn't make transfer and whoring, it's very possible. Now I think the old man may not dare to let Rooney be captain As for Fletcher, his ability, fame and influence in the dressing room are not as good as Vidic. Evra is not a good captain in France. At most, he is just like a vice captain in Manchester United. Who do you think the old man chooses as the captain

Gao Xiaodong scratched his head and said with a smile, "it's not easy to choose. It seems that the Lord is going to draw lots."

Neville laughed: "Manchester United captain is a joke, which can choose."

Gao Xiaodong said: "you can't do without a captain?"

Neville said: "captain of course there will be, but I can not tell who the old man will let the top."

Gao Xiaodong said shyly, "brother Gary, how much hope do you think I have?"

Gary Neville said: "I think you are the most suitable captain of Manchester United, but the old man thinks you are too young and junior, so I hope you have, but it won't be too big. I think the best thing for you is to fight for a vice captain first, and then seek the chance to be the captain."

Gao Xiaodong disappointed way: "even if Ferdinand and Vidic when Captain, three or two years may not retire ah."

When Neville poured water for Gao Xiaodong, he patted Gao Xiaodong on the shoulder. "Don't worry, you have plenty of time."

"I'm not in a hurry. I've only joined half a season." But Gao Xiaodong murmured in his heart, I don't have so much time, I have to switch to other leagues.

Neville saw that Gao Xiaodong's face was uneasy and said with a smile: "you really don't have to worry. In my opinion, maybe the old man won't arrange the captain rashly. He will still follow the same situation. Several vice captains will take turns to be the captain of the team and announce the choice of the captain after the end of the season."

Gao Xiaodong was very happy when he heard that. Since then, the vice captain's position in the team has been greatly improved, and with the passage of time, his advantage has become greater and greater. Gao Xiaodong feels that his Neville family is not in vain.
