Chapter 937

In preparation for Inter's Champions League quarter final on Saturday, Ferguson didn't give the players a holiday as usual after playing against Arsenal in the FA Cup.

The players have no complaints about this. The game with Inter is very important. It can even be said that a game decides the success or failure of a season.

Before that, Manchester United beat inter 2-1 away from home and took the lead in the promotion. But after all, inter was the treble winner of last season. Even after Gao Xiaodong and Jose, their strength can not be underestimated. Once the superstars such as Eto'o, Milito and Sneijder break out, the 2-1 score is not safe.

Manchester United's away adventure has made a great advantage, even if there are not so many injuries, back home will not continue to attack, defensive counterattack can minimize the accident.

In the last game, Ferguson played out a strange array of six defenders, not only because of Arsenal's excellent attacking power, but also for the Champions League game against Inter Milan. After all, in the first game, Manchester United were completely under the pressure of Inter Milan and hardly gave inter any chance to attack.

Inter Milan's success last season mainly depends on defensive counterattack. After the departure of Jose, both Benitez and Leonardo have played defensive counterattack, which makes inter play positional warfare. Apart from the breakthrough on the side, Inter have no killing moves. This is also the reason why Ferguson is ready to use defensive counterattack to deal with Inter.

Manchester United's main practice in training is to mark Inter's midfield core Sneijder and full back Maicon.

Although Eto'o has strong ability and great reputation, he is the arrow in the conversion of attack and defense, while Snyder and Maicon are the people who pull the bow.

Eto'o is difficult to defend, but without Sneijder's passing, Eto'o's speed can't be fully displayed.

Ferguson gave Gao Xiaodong the task of defending Sneijder and left back Evra and Valencia the task of defending Maicon.

Gao Xiaodong is happy to play against former team mate Sneijder.

It turns out that Gao Xiaodong and Sneijder are rivals in Inter Milan. Sneijder was forced to play as a substitute and a winger because of his transfer during the winter break. However, Sneijder played brilliantly in the Italian Cup and the world cup, which is one of the reasons why Inter Milan let Gao Xiaodong go.

Now Gao Xiaodong and Sneijder are in their own hands. Gao Xiaodong naturally wants to prove that he can put Sneijder on the bench because of his strength, not because of his relationship with Jose.

After training, Gao Xiaodong came home and found his agent Mendes coming.

Since the monkey was sent to Gao Xiaodong, there is no important thing. Mendes seldom comes to Gao Xiaodong's home again, which is quite different from when Gao Xiaodong was at Inter.

In this regard, Gao Xiaodong and monkey also discussed, Gao Xiaodong suspected that it was because he did not listen to Mendes' arrangement to transfer to Real Madrid, Mendes was not happy, but monkey thought it was not so, because Gao Xiaodong is now the top five superstar, is Mendes' cash cow, it is considered that Mendes is not happy, and will never show it.

On the contrary, the monkey thinks that Mendes may be due to the awkward relationship between Jose and Gao Xiaodong. He is not a good man, so he sends himself to serve Gao Xiaodong.

It's also a good way to sell Gao Xiaodong. After all, Gao Xiaodong is alone. It's much more comfortable to have a compatriot to accompany him.

No matter what he thought of Mendes, Gao Xiaodong was still very intimate on the surface and said, "Mr. Mendes, why are you here?"

Mendes smile, said: "a long time no, just in time for the Champions League game, by the way to see you."

Gao Xiaodong said, "great. I miss you very much, too."

Mendes said with a smile, "I don't dare to come here for fear of disturbing you."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "how can I? Your coming will only give me motivation." Then he turned to the monkey and said, "monkey, let Xiaole make some dishes. I'll have a drink with Mr. Mendes."

The monkey said with a smile, "sister Xiaole has already done it."

Mendes said: "winter, you've been doing well recently, Messi and Ronaldo are under your pressure."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "I don't have the face to accept your praise. I just got a red card at the double red club and will be suspended for three matches."

Mendes said with a smile: "I know, I saw the game. It's a little impulsive, but it doesn't affect the overall situation. Your advantage in the league is not small. The three matches of the ban are all weak teams. You just come back when you play Manchester City in the FA Cup. It's just that you can't do it any more. In case you lose the championship because of your impulsivity, the impact will be great."

Gao Xiaodong said with an open mind: "I won't do it in the future. I promise I won't fight back if I scold you."

Mendes laughed and said, "are you such an honest man? I don't believe it. "

"I think you must have misunderstood me."

Gao Xiaodong laughs and the monkey laughs with him. The atmosphere in the living room is much more relaxed immediately.

After chatting a few words, Mendes suddenly said: "Xiao Dong, are you satisfied with your present salary?"Gao Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, and showed an eager look in his eyes. But he immediately said: "the annual salary of 12 million euro is OK. It's only less than a season since he came here that he asked for a raise. Isn't it a bit greedy?"

What do you mean, you are greedy, but Mendes certainly won't say it, he said with a smile: "Xiao Dong, it's not that we want to increase our salary, but that Manchester United want to make a follow-up appointment with you at the end of this season?"

Gao Xiaodong was stunned again and said, "now I'm going to renew my contract. It's less than a season since I signed it."

Mendes said: "at that time, we signed for three years. Now one year is almost over. According to UEFA regulations, in another year, you can buy out your contract. Your contract is so short that Manchester United have little binding force on you. They are very worried and hope to renew your contract for another two years. If you agree to renew your contract, they will certainly not let you renew it for nothing. They should offer it to you After all, you have won the Golden Globe Award. You are the first person in the world. Of course, you have to get the highest salary in the world. "

It's a bit too sudden. Gao Xiaodong knows that Mendes must have done everything, but he didn't expect to renew his contract.

Gao Xiaodong didn't think about it, so he didn't have any psychological preparation. He didn't know whether to renew his contract. He pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Mendes, can I think about it and give you a reply later?"

"Well, it's not urgent."

Mendes saw that Gao Xiaodong had to think about it. He sighed in secret. It's not that I don't try my best. I'm afraid Gao Xiaodong has the idea of staying at Manchester United for a long time. It's too difficult for him to go to Real Madrid at this time.

was talking, Xiao Le cooked the meal, and the four people ate together. The monkey accompanied Mendes and Baijiu, and he drank beer in high winter, and drank and chatted.

During the meal, Mendes told the purpose of his coming. It turned out that recently, because Gao Xiaodong won the Golden Globe Award and became famous, many businesses wanted to speak for Gao Xiaodong. Now, taking advantage of Gao Xiaodong's suspension, Mendes hopes that Gao Xiaodong can sign these contracts and make several advertisements.

It's a matter of sending money, and it can't delay too much energy. Of course, Gao Xiaodong agrees.

After dinner, Mendes and Gao Xiaodong talked for a while, and the day after tomorrow and Inter's Champions League, only to leave back to the hotel to rest.
