Beat inter away, Manchester United basically put the fate of promotion in their own hands, back at home, as long as they do not net negative two goals, they can reach the last eight of the Champions League.
In addition to mastering the fate of promotion, Manchester United and their generals have also been praised by the media. Gao Xiaodong, Scholes and Vidic have all entered the best team of the Champions League.
Compared with the praise from the outside world and the best team, Gao Xiaodong pays more attention to his goal. Although it's only one goal, it makes Gao Xiaodong catch up with Messi's six goals in the number of goals, ranking first with Messi in the Champions League scorer list.
There are so many football stars in the world, but it is Messi, Ronaldo and Kaka who can compete for the golden ball award with Gao Xiaodong. Now Kaka is troubled by injuries and his state is no longer the same as before. In non competition years, the golden ball award is almost the romance of Messi, Ronaldo and Gao Xiaodong.
Relying on Manchester derby's hat trick, Gao Xiaodong scored the 32nd goal in the league, while Ronaldo didn't score in the last round. Gao Xiaodong scored two goals ahead of Ronaldo in the competition of European golden boot. Now, the number of goals in the Champions League is equal to Messi, more than Ronaldo by two. Gao Xiaodong's personal data has exceeded two competitors. As long as the honor is no less than the opponent, Gao Xiaodong will get the gold medal again The hope of the ball prize is very big.
At the end of the first leg of the Champions League quarter final, Manchester United still have a Premier League match with Wigan Athletic at the weekend, so they did not stay in Milan and flew back to England early the next day. Gao Xiaodong was not able to go to the invitation of president Moratti.
Manchester United fought a tough battle after a long journey. The players' physical fitness was very bad. Ferguson gave the players a half day off to have a good rest. Anyway, the opponents in the League were not strong at the weekend.
After yesterday's game, the Manchester United generals celebrated again. They went to bed too late. The next day, Gao Xiaodong didn't fall asleep when he was flying. When he got home, Gao Xiaodong didn't eat any food and had a sleep.
After waking up, Gao Xiaodong came to the living room and found Chen Qiang coming.
"Brother Chen, why are you here? The team is not busy now?"
"Busy, which day is not busy, I come to you to tell you something."
Chen Qiang saw Gao Xiaodong come in and quickly stood up. Now Gao Xiaodong is not the little fat man who just came to Europe and doesn't know anything. Now Gao Xiaodong is the golden ball, the core of Manchester United and a football star who can talk and laugh with celebrities and rich people. Chen Qiang must give Gao Xiaodong enough respect.
"What's the matter? Just make a phone call and come to Manchester yourself. " Gao Xiaodong said in surprise.
"I'm afraid I can't make it clear by phone. Besides, I haven't been here for a long time, and I want to see you."
It's natural for Chen Qiang to say that he and Gao Xiaodong have been together for four years, and they have long changed from the original cooperative relationship to the present friendship and brotherhood.
Gao Xiaodong was moved and said: "if you have nothing to do, you often come to visit. If the team is too busy, you can find someone to help you. Don't always do everything by yourself."
As they were talking, Xiao Le came from the kitchen with the food and said, "Xiao Dong, you haven't eaten yet. Let's talk while eating. Mr. Chen, you can have some together."
Chen Qiang looked at his watch and said, "what time is it? I ate on the plane. I'm not hungry."
Gao Xiaodong said: "I'll eat first, brother Chen. If you have something, you can say it."
Chen Qiang pondered for a while, seemed to be brewing a word, "Xiaodong, have you ever paid attention to the Asian Cup?"
Although Gao Xiaodong has not been in the national team, but also understand the national team's game, said: "understand a little, what's the matter?"
Chen Qiang said: "the Asian cup of the national football team played very badly. The group failed to qualify. The head coach Gao Bo was under great pressure. Now the fans all over the country are clamoring for a change of coach."
Gao Xiaodong disdained the way: "we China to participate in the Asian Cup, there may be only one group did not qualify it, the coach that time out of class?"
Chen Qiangdao: "yes, Zhu Guanghu's national team didn't qualify for the Asia Cup in 2007. He's out of class."
Gao Xiaodong said: "it's Zhu Guanghu who has just finished class. Now he's sitting on the handsome seat. Pressure, which national team head coach has no pressure
Gao Xiaodong and national football coach Gao Bo have conflicts. Although Gao Bo later apologized to Gao Xiaodong at Chen Qiang's home, Gao Xiaodong always feels uncomfortable when he thinks of Gao Bo.
Chen Qiangdao said: "Gao Bo is still capable. Although he failed to qualify in the group this time, his record of one win, one draw and one loss is not too bad. Although there are many people who hope him to leave class, there are also many people who support him to stay in office."
Gao Xiaodong frowned and said, "brother Chen, if you have anything to say, don't make so many detours."
Chen Qiang was embarrassed and said: "well, let me be frank. Xiaodong, you know Gaobo and I are familiar. Recently, Gaobo has encountered difficulties. Although the football association wants to support him, the pressure from the fans is too great. It is said that the domestic real estate giant Yida group is preparing to sponsor the football association to build echelons and invite foreign teachers. If Yida really does, Gaobo will be out of class. ”
GAO Xiaodong ate with his head down and said nothing.
Chen Qiang continued: "Gao Bo found me this time. I hope I can persuade you to go back to the national team and support him to stay. Gao Bo said..."Before Gao Xiaodong said anything, Xiao Le said: "Gao Bo is too cheeky. In 2009, when he was running for head coach, he asked Xiao Dong for help. When he became head coach, he threw Gao Xiaodong aside. Who can help him is Shi Lezhi who has no sense of loyalty and backbone."
Chen Qiangdao: "Xiao Le, you can't say that. At that time, the chairman of the national football team had a conflict with Gao Xiaodong. For the sake of the unity of the team and a better working environment, Gao Bo agreed to give up Xiao Dong. Gao Bo once told me that he was also for the future of Chinese football. Although you were excellent at that time, you were only one person after all. Now Gao Bo wants to invite you to the national team for the future of Chinese football. "
Gao Xiaodong frowned and said, "brother Chen, are you here to be a lobbyist for Gao Bo?"
Chen qianglian said: "I'm not a lobbyist for Gao Bo either. I've watched all the matches of the national football team. I think Gao Bo's way of technical flow is right. I hope he can work for a few more years instead of fooling around. That's why he came to you."
Gao Xiaodong disapproved: "brother Chen, you belong to Taishan. How do you know that foreign coaches can't lead the national team well?"
Chen Qiang said: "China is not without foreign coaches, but the performance is worse than local coaches, I think we can not superstitious foreign coaches."
Gao Xiaodong said: "brother Chen, to tell you the truth, I don't have much conflict with Gao Bo. He also apologized to me. I'm just uncomfortable now. I believe Gao Bo's psychology must be uncomfortable too. The two uncomfortable people work together to talk about tacit understanding and trust. So I think it's better not to enter for the time being. "
Chen Qiang said: "Xiaodong, if it's just for Gaobo, I won't come today. I come to you mainly because of Yida group."
