The battle between Manchester United and Arsenal has shocked the football world.
Before the game, some people thought that Manchester United would win, others thought that Manchester United would win.
Arsenal's winning rate at Old Trafford has never been high.
However, no one thought that Manchester United would win so much, just as they did not think that Arsenal would lose so badly.
1: 8!
since 1927, Arsenal have never lost so miserably. Since 1895, they have never scored eight goals in a single game by their opponents, but at that time, they were just a chicken, but now they are a rich team.
Before the match against Arsenal, although United won two consecutive games, it was very difficult to win every game. It seemed that the thickness of the bench was not enough and the tactics were thoroughly studied. European gambling companies also lowered the odds of United winning the title again and again, believing that it was very difficult for United to defend the title this season.
After the battle, the media's attitude towards Manchester United and Arsenal has changed dramatically.
"The Daily Mail" said that Arsenal's performance is collapsing and disastrous. The question they have to consider now is not whether they can qualify for the Champions League, but whether they can avoid relegation.
"Manchester United changed the fatigue of the first two rounds and played the style of the treble. The score of 8:1 made all the rivals despair, but it was still in the absence of Ferdinand, Vidic and other absolute main force. From this war, maybe the slogan of Manchester United defending the treble was not boasting.
"Mirror" used the metaphor of "adults beat children" when describing the match, and said that today's Arsenal are no longer worthy of being Manchester United's opponent. After three games, only one point ranked 17th, Arsenal's opponents are reading, Southampton and other relegation teams.
"The sun" directly called on Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to leave class. The reporter thinks that the reason why Arsenal have not won the championship for seven years is mainly because of Arsene Wenger's incompetence. If Arsenal want to win the championship again, they must change a new coach.
The sun is full of praise for Gao Xiaodong and Ferguson. It thinks that Manchester United can beat Arsenal in the same situation of lacking major general. Ferguson's platoon arrangement and Gao Xiaodong's attack are the decisive factors. After this battle, Gao Xiaodong's position as the core and captain of Manchester United is more stable, and Ferguson's ability of understanding and employing talents is also displayed.
After Gao Xiaodong announced his return to the national team, the media in China paid more attention to Gao Xiaodong. This battle between Manchester United and Arsenal was followed and interviewed by reporters. After the match, the major media in China carried out a large coverage. Football and Sports Weekly used the whole page to report the news about Gao Xiaodong and Manchester United.
As Gao Xiaodong scored a hat trick against Arsenal and played a decisive role in the game, the domestic media almost regard Gao Xiaodong as an omnipotent Savior, hoping that Gao Xiaodong can lead the Chinese team to qualify from the group in the upcoming World Cup qualifier.
Although Gao Xiaodong is proud at present, he does not have enough confidence to lead the national team to the world cup. After all, the situation of the national football team is very complicated, and football is a contest between 11 people and 11 people. No matter how strong Gao Xiaodong's personal ability is, he can't beat his opponents alone.
Therefore, when the media at home and abroad touted Gao Xiaodong crazily, Gao Xiaodong sent a short article on Weibo and Twitter to decompress for himself. At the same time, he also reminded Chinese fans and media that Gao Xiaodong was not the only one in the Chinese team. Don't expect that after he returned to the national team, the Chinese team could sweep Asia and easily enter the Brazil World Cup.
Gao Xiaodong wrote: "the game is over. We have won an epic victory. Now I'm going back to play in the World Cup qualifier. This is my first time to play for the national team. I'm very excited and excited, but I'm very worried because I don't know if I can succeed in the national team? I don't know if I can get the support of my teammates? Can you win the trust of the coach?
Gao Xiaodong raised three questions, which immediately caused a big discussion in Chinese football about Gao Xiaodong's contribution to the national team.
Some media believe that the strength of the Chinese team is not bad. What is lacking is a superstar like Gao Xiaodong as the core. With Gao Xiaodong, the strength of the Chinese team will definitely change qualitatively. Of course, the premise is that the Chinese team can form a whole of unity.
Some media are pessimistic. They think that although Gao Xiaodong's personal ability is strong, the improvement of the strength of the Chinese team is limited. The poor performance of the Chinese team is not only due to the poor strength of the team, but also due to many aspects, such as the Football Association's random intervention, numerous players' gangs, the same faction, the insufficient strength of local education and the foreign education's unfamiliarity with the national conditions It's up to you.
The Chinese Football Association believes that what the national football team lacks is confidence rather than rationality. Therefore, Wei Ge, chairman of the Football Association, told the outside world that Gao Xiaodong will be the undisputed core and captain of the national football team. The Football Association, the coaching staff and the players all trust him. If anyone in the national team can't live with Gao Xiaodong, the football association will not hesitate to stand on Gao Xiaodong's side.
Camacho, the head coach of the Chinese national team, has just been in charge, and now he is in urgent need of Gao Xiaodong to help him gain a foothold in the team. He also supports Gao Xiaodong with a clear attitude, saying that Gao Xiaodong is a superstar and can make any team change qualitatively. His playing style is similar to that of Manchester United. He also plays around Gao Xiaodong and gives full play to his omnipotent characteristics. He believes that Gao Xiaodong is the best choice The core Chinese team will certainly be able to break out of Asia and go to the world.There are always pessimistic and optimistic views about whether Gao Xiaodong can change the national football team, not only in the media, but also among the fans. However, because there has never been such a superstar as Gao Xiaodong in the Chinese national team before, neither of the two groups can agree with the other. Now with the support of the football association and foreign teachers, the optimistic group soon overwhelms the rational group and becomes the main group of domestic public opinion Flow.
The fans have so much faith in Gao Xiaodong, even to the point of blind worship, which makes Gao Xiaodong very helpless. He knows that if he can't lead the Chinese team to the world cup, it will be overwhelming criticism and scolding to meet him.
On the second day of the match and the third day from the bottom of the transfer window, new United signing Ashley young arrived at Manchester United.
Ashley young is a player of Aston Villa. He is capable of playing both left and right wingers as well as forwards. He is fast and has amazing physical fitness, which can make up for the weak wings of Manchester United. After continuous injuries at the beginning of the season, Ferguson realized the weakness of the reserve team and spared no effort to spend 20 million pounds to buy Ashley young.
Ashley young is an important substitute for Manchester United. As the captain, Gao Xiaodong attended the welcome banquet of Manchester United new recruit Ashley young and welcomed Ashley young on behalf of the players.
Although Ashley young is a native English player, he understands that with the gradual withdrawal of class 92, the local club of Manchester United has declined. If he wants to take root in Manchester United, he must make friends with Gao Xiaodong, the new core of Manchester United. Therefore, before and after the banquet, he is very warm and respected compared with Gao Xiaodong, who is three years younger than him.
After welcoming Ashley young, Gao Xiaodong immediately took monkey and two bodyguards to the airport and flew back to China.
