Gao Xiaodong came to the penalty spot with the ball in his arms, ready to take this free kick.

Carrick walked over, "Gao, do you want to cooperate?"

Carrick thought that the free kick was almost 30 meters away from the goal, and wanted to make a kick for Gao Xiaodong to shoot from a distance.

"No, I don't. ”

Gao Xiaodong replied hard, he thought that after Carrick returned from injury, he wanted to rob him of the right to take a free kick, and he said in his heart, the three bigwigs of the 92 class today are not there, and they all want to rob Lao Tzu of the right to punish.

Ferguson not only said at the press conference that Gao Xiaodong was the main penalty taker of set-pieces, but also said in the team that although he did not directly say that Gao Xiaodong was the first penalty taker, Ferguson emphasized that other players would naturally not grab Gao Xiaodong's ball.

But Carrick has been recuperating from injuries in the new season, and he is not very clear about the changes in the team, and he didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to get Ferguson's absolute trust so quickly, so he asked, seeing Gao Xiaodong's attitude so blunt, Carrick was a little stunned, and a little unhappy, and said in his heart, he was young, why was his temper so impulsive, and he didn't respect the old-timers at all.

Seeing Carrick being rejected and walking to the side unhappily, Fletcher smiled secretly and said in his heart, Michael, now you know that this kid is dragging it, but it's not me who says bad things about him behind his back.

After more than ten minutes of competition, Gao Xiaodong has a clear understanding of Valencia's strength, the opponent's defense is excellent, the counterattack is sharp, it is not easy to break through their goal, so every set-piece opportunity must be grasped well.

Although this free kick is close to 30 meters away from the goal, Gao Xiaodong has the power to play this distance, mainly depending on the footwork used and the accuracy of the shot.

Manchester United's players who are good at headers all compete for headers in the penalty area, and Gao Xiaodong measures his steps, ready to make a long-distance shot.

Valencia goalkeeper Sanchez saw that Gao Xiaodong ran more than ten meters away, and thought to himself, this kid is too exaggerated, is he deliberately cheating me, I have to be careful of his passing.

When the referee's whistle blew, Gao Xiaodong quickly ran to the penalty spot, and the offensive and defensive players in the penalty area also began to compete for positions.

Gao Xiaodong ran to the ball and wanted to volley directly, but he saw the goalkeeper bent his knees and was ready to save, he suddenly stopped, retracted his right leg, and then took up his left foot and shot a curling ball to the upper right corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Sanchez was ready to save, Gao Xiaodong stopped suddenly, so shaking that Sanchez almost vomited blood, and before he could react, Gao Xiaodong had already started shooting with his left foot.

Sanchez was instantly beaten by Gao Xiaodong, and stood there in a daze, without moving, and watched the ball fly into the net.

1：0

Everyone at the scene was stunned by Gao Xiaodong's sudden stop-and-shoot shot, and after the goal, only Gao Xiaodong raised his arms and ran wildly in cheers, and everyone else, including the referee, was stunned.

After a brief moment of silence, the United fans applauded wildly.

"Hold the grass!"

"God! and the operation of the free throw!"

"The goalkeeper is stupid!"

"This is too cunning!"

"It's like a basketball in the air and a layup!"

……

Ferguson stood out his gum and rushed out with his arms raised, "Well done! great! high! good!"

At this moment, Ferguson can't wait to run into the field and give Gao Xiaodong a hug, this left and right foot skills, this ball quotient, not to mention that Manchester United is incomparable, even if it is put into world football, few people can catch up.

Carrick looked at him in a daze, for an English player like him, where has he seen such a treacherous free kick technique, and now he understands why Gao Xiaodong has only been in Manchester United for more than a month, and he can control the right to take the right to take the set-piece, which is really awesome!

Berbatov is not satisfied with Gao Xiaodong's skills, but he is not convinced by Gao Xiaodong's ball quotient, this kind of tricky free kick, even if the skill is twice as high as Gao Xiaodong, may not be able to kick it.

"Okay! Great!" CCTV's on-site commentator He Shiren was stimulated by Gao Xiaodong's free kick and roared, "Magical free kick! Xiao Dong broke through Valencia's door! Incredible! It's incredible! Such a free kick can only be kicked by Xiao Dong! It's so imaginative! Is this technology? Yes! But it's not pure technology! This is speculation about the opponent's psychology! This is defeating the opponent in a battle of wits and courage! 1:0, Manchester United opened the scoring! Let's see if they can keep their win and break their winless streak in Spain!"

Valencia coach Unai Emery was dumbfounded, this is okay! This can also be scored! How can this kid's left foot be so good! It's no worse than his right foot! Temporary foot change, how does this kid's head look different? Different from ordinary people?

What makes Emery most painful is what to do in the back? Valencia is best at defending and counterattacking, now behind at home, Manchester United has not won a game in this stadium, they will definitely not attack again, and Valencia can only play the attack that they are not good at, thinking about Manchester United's crazy counterattack, Emery can't help but shudder.

Unai Emery was right, and when the game started again, the experienced and practical Ferguson really allowed his players to shrink their defence and play Valencia's counter-attack.

Originally, Manchester United was a 4321 formation, Nani and Anderson pulled to both sides, Gao Xiaodong retreated, and the formation became 451, Manchester United fought in the midfield to prevent Valencia's penetration into the Manchester United penalty area.

I have to say that Ferguson's move is very amazing, Manchester United midfield five players, Valencia is difficult to penetrate even if it has Barcelona's short passing skills, Manchester United originally Vidic and Eves partnered, the central defender still has flaws, and now Ferdinand is back, even long passes and crosses are not afraid, Valencia wants to break Manchester United's goal is indeed very difficult.

What made Valencia even more painful was that it was not only more difficult for them to break down the United goal, but also to prevent Manchester United from counter-attacking.

Berbatov in the front court of Manchester United doesn't look alone, but his ability to stop and make the ball is extremely strong, once Berbatov takes the ball to Gao Xiaodong and Nani, it depends on the three of them, and the four Valencia players can't prevent it.

Fortunately, this is only a Champions League group stage, Manchester United and Valencia have little problem qualifying, the competition is just the first place in the group, Valencia also has a wealth of European experience, they are not in a hurry, after conceding the goal, Valencia's players did not press hard, but patiently in the middle and wing group scheduling, looking for Manchester United's gaps and mistakes.

The tempo of the game slowed down and Valencia controlled possession, but it was difficult for the ball to reach United's 30-metre area, and it was more of a pass at the back of Valencia.

On-site commentator He Hui joked, "Manchester United has beaten Valencia into Barcelona, but unfortunately Valencia does not have the ability to cooperate in dense defense." ”

However, Valencia's tactics were correct, they did not give United a chance to strike while the iron was hot, and in the 27th minute, Carrick made a mistake in the midfield, Pablo made a steal, and volleyed hard from 25 places, but the ball went slightly over the crossbar.

In the 34th minute of the game, Valencia suddenly increased the tempo, Mata connected two people, from the left side of the penalty area down the bottom cross, Van der Sar has not had a chance to move, a little reckless, did not get the ball, but Valencia striker Soldado in the front of the penalty area faced the empty goal to put the ball high, missed the opportunity to equalize.

Ferguson had no problem with his tactical arrangement, but he didn't expect the team's two mistakes to almost lose the ball, and he was so angry that he yelled at the pitch on the sidelines, hating to replace these two.

However, after two mistakes, the United players concentrated on 12 points, did a thorough defence, and did not give Valencia another shot until the end of the first half.
