Chapter 1018

The biggest impact of Gao Xiaodong's contract renewal is actually on the fans.

Before the renewal of Gao Xiaodong's contract, Manchester United fans were worried that Gao Xiaodong would play the role of Inter, while the fans of other teams were looking forward to their own home team to win Gao Xiaodong, so that the strength of the team to a higher level.

Gao Xiaodong didn't come to Manchester United for a long time, but in fact he has become the core player of Manchester United. If Gao Xiaodong doesn't play in any tough game, the fans will have no bottom in their hearts.

After Gao Xiaodong renewed his contract, Manchester United fans were very excited. The next day, there were two or three thousand die hard fans around the Carrington training base, just to say thank you to Gao Xiaodong for staying.

After Gao Xiaodong renewed his contract, Manchester United had no worries and shifted their focus to the first FA Cup match.

Although Manchester United's FA Cup final opponent is weak team Stoke City, even if Manchester United's condition is not good, it should be able to win the game, but Stoke City finally reached the FA Cup final through one knockout match after another. In a decisive final, anything can happen.

Manchester United will win the championship in stoke, but it may have a negative impact on Arsenal.

Before the match, Manchester United manager Ferguson finally did not hide his ambition. He told Manchester United fans all over the world at a press conference: from the beginning of the FA Cup, Manchester United will start the first shot for the treble. Whether the FA Cup final is successful or not is crucial to the success or failure of Manchester United this season, but in such a decisive match as the FA Cup final Anything can happen, Stoke City is not a big club, but in such a game, they are more difficult to deal with, because their motivation to win the championship is definitely stronger than all the big clubs

What Ferguson said at the press conference was very serious, not a superficial compliment. In fact, that's what Ferguson thought, and he never thought too much.

Stoke City is a weak team, and the total value of their main team is only 30 million pounds. Jones, who has been introduced with 8 million pounds this season, is already the historical record of the club, while Gao Xiaodong's value is higher than Stoke City's.

But that's not to say stoke don't want to pull their teeth out of Manchester United.

Stoke was relegated from the top league in 1985 and did not return to the Premier League until 2009. In the history of the FA Cup, Stoke City reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup three times in 1899, 1971 and 1972, but all failed. The last time stoke reached the final was 148 years ago.

Obviously for Stoke City people, the FA Cup final is the most important game in their history. This FA Cup champion is the dream of Stoke City people for a century.

Before the FA Cup final, stoke manager Pulis also used the example of Birmingham to inspire his players and fans.

"It's a competition of great disparity in strength. No one thought that we would reach the FA Cup final before the match, and no one would think that we would win the championship now. Manchester United must be the favorite to win the championship. Maybe our hope of winning the championship is not as good as buying lottery tickets, but we can't underestimate ourselves. If we lose confidence, we will not even have the last hope. ”

"the example of Birmingham beating Arsenal in the Carling Cup has always inspired me. He made me believe in miracles. I hope that not only me, but all stoke people should watch this game. Everyone should believe in miracles and put all their energy into it."

Although Manchester United is not a big club that attaches too much importance to the FA Cup, they have reached the final, and their opponents are Stoke City. Manchester United's players have expressed their determination to win the championship.

"The FA Cup is the least difficult of the three champions. If we can't win the FA Cup, what qualification do we have to win the treble

Manchester United's local superstar Wayne Rooney said the lofty spirit, did not take Stoke City in mind.

"We haven't won the FA Cup in seven years. It's disgraceful for Manchester United. It's a good chance and we can't let it go

Ferdinand is domineering. In fact, he has been dissatisfied with Ferguson's strategy of abandoning the FA Cup in recent years. He thinks that as the premier league leader, he should win every competition.

Gao Xiaodong renewed his contract with the highest salary in the world. He was in a good mood and took the opportunity to express his loyalty to the club before the game. "This is my first final when I came to Manchester United. I hope to have a good result. Winning the championship for Manchester United is my dream since I was a child. Now my dream will come true soon."

When Stoke City beat Manchester United in the FA Cup, almost all the public opinions are optimistic that Manchester United will win the championship, and the odds are one-sided. Under the aura of Manchester United, Stoke City is not even a supporting role. It's just like a walking through the motions.

However, after Stoke City repeatedly overcome their strong rivals to reach the final, the players are full of confidence and fighting spirit, and they are not afraid to face such a strong opponent as Manchester United. Pennant, the biggest player in the team, turned out to be a Liverpool player. He has deep hostility to Manchester United. Before the game, he threatened to block Manchester United and destroy their dream of winning the treble."Manchester United are the best team in the world. They are likely to win the treble again, but we are also the best team in the FA Cup. I believe we can beat Manchester United and win the FA Cup, just like Birmingham. Although it would be cruel to break the dream of Manchester United's treble, I think it is the best way for Manchester United fans to remember us."

Stoke City's other well-known player is defender Robert Huth. Huth is a former Chelsea player and he doesn't like Manchester United either.

"Stoke City is in the underdog side. Manchester United are much stronger than us, but we have the same chance. There are many football games where the weak win the strong. We are also underdog if we can reach the final, but we have successfully reached the final."

The final was held at Wembley Stadium at 15:00 p.m. local time on May 14. The battle has not yet begun, but the competition between the two sides has already started.

Originally, stoke manager Pulis had already made a reservation for the Grove Hotel in Hertfordshire, but when he was ready to pay, he found that the five-star hotel had been contracted in advance by Manchester United.

Stoke City was very angry. In the end, they had to choose another five-star hotel in bettefordshire, Luton hotel. However, Luton hotel is 30 miles away from the new Wembley Stadium, while Kobayashi hotel is only 18 miles away. It can be said that Stoke City lost first before the game.
