Chapter 1041: Great Advancement in Ball Skills
The next day, when Gao Xiaodong was woken up by the system, Yang Fan, Zhu Daqiang and others were still asleep, and Gao Xiaodong drank a super nutrient solution and went out for a run.
After running and coming back, Yang Fan and the others had not yet gotten up, Gao Xiaodong instructed the monkey and Xiao Le to accompany them for a good day, and then drove to the Carrington training base.
"Gao, good morning, you're number one again, what a good boy. Mrs. Casey at the front desk of the Carrington training base greeted Gao Xiaodong with a smile on her face, she played the ball so well and was so positive, she didn't know how much better it was than that Dongfang Zhuo back then, they were all Chinese, why was it so different.
"Hello Madame, thank you Madame for the compliment. ”
Gao Xiaodong said hello to Mrs. Casey, and hurried to the gym to train, tomorrow is going to play the Champions League final, his physical transformation has not been completed, I don't know how successful he can play at that time, against a super team like Barcelona, Gao Xiaodong hopes that he can show his best level.
When the players arrived, Gao Xiaodong finally came out of the gym sweating.
"Gao! You've been practicing too hard lately, and you're not going to be able to deal with a defeated general. ”
Rooney said with a big grin that Rooney has no fear of Barcelona, even if Barcelona's odds to win the championship are higher than Manchester United.
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "You have to use all your strength to fight lions and rabbits, you don't understand this truth." ”
Scholes said solemnly: "Xiaodong is right, Barcelona must be taken seriously, the outside world thinks they are better than us, that must be reasonable." ”
Rooney smirked, "Okay, we'll hit them in the face." ”
After everyone had spoken on the field, Ferguson came over with the teaching assistants.
Today is the last day before the final, Manchester United mainly carried out targeted training, and Ferguson assigned Gao Xiaodong the task of assisting Fletcher, who will start the game, to defend Messi, while assisting Scholes to organize the attack.
Gao Xiaodong has a heavy responsibility at both offensive and defensive ends, and his performance is crucial to whether Manchester United can win or not.
Wayne Rooney plays the role of Messi in training, Hernandez plays Pedro and Nani plays Villa.
Rooney is now at his peak, although he is not the same type as Messi, but he has strength and speed, and he is not easy to defend.
However, Rooney just got the ball to shake off Fletcher today, but the connection action was not finished, Gao Xiaodong arrived at the first time, stretched out his foot and stole the ball.
Rooney immediately grabbed from behind Gao Xiaodong, but Gao Xiaodong pulled the ball one by one, turned around, easily shook Rooney's counter-robbery, and turned around to face the opponent's goal.
Gao Xiaodong's action attracted a round of warm applause from his teammates, and even the players of the second team who were training not far away stopped to applaud Gao Xiaodong's genius.
The players all think that Gao Xiaodong is improvised, but Ferguson doesn't see it that way, since that day Ferguson suspected that Gao Xiaodong's ball skills had improved, Ferguson has been observing Gao Xiaodong, and it turns out that Gao Xiaodong has not only improved his ball skills, but also weighed less, and his physical fitness has become stronger.
Just like Gao Xiaodong's steal just now, with Gao Xiaodong's original defensive ability, that ball should have been a sabotage, but now Gao Xiaodong easily stealed.
It can also show that Gao Xiaodong's ball skills and body have just improved, as if there are eyes behind him, he accurately judged Rooney's counter-robbery moves, and easily got rid of them, which is not something that a player of Gao Xiaodong's age can easily do.
After Ferguson came to the conclusion that Gao Xiaodong's skills had indeed improved, he was overjoyed, he was still very worried about playing Barcelona, and now his confidence immediately increased by three points.
When Ferguson was overjoyed, Gao Xiaodong was also happy in his heart, Ferguson felt that his football skills and body had improved, but it was not the technology that got rid of it just now, but his 360-degree super glasses with no dead ends, after wearing that pair of glasses, Gao Xiaodong felt that his strength had improved by at least one percent.
However, it turns out that the 360-degree super glasses add more than one percent to the strength, with this BUG glasses, Gao Xiaodong is like a long eye behind his back when he encounters a bag and counterattack pass, and can often pass the ball to a position that opponents and teammates can't think of, especially counterattacks, Gao Xiaodong obviously has his back to the opponent's goal, but he can always turn around and make a long pass to find his teammates in front, so that the opponent can't guard against it.
A 30-minute training match ended quickly, and Gao Xiaodong's red team easily swept Rooney's yellow team 6:1, and the players of the yellow team were convinced, and repeatedly said "I can't beat it, I can't beat it." Rooney even grabbed Gao Xiaodong's arm and asked him how he became so powerful.
Gao Xiaodong said as he should be, I practice every day in vain, this is the result, in fact, Gao Xiaodong is thinking in his heart, Lao Tzu's body transformation has not been completed, and it will be even more awesome if it is completed.
At the end of the morning training and lunch, Ferguson announced the 18-man squad for tomorrow's Champions League final: goalkeepers: 1-Van der Sar, 29-Kuczzak, defenders: 20-Fabio, 5-Ferdinand, 15-Vidic, 3-Evra, 12-Smalling, midfielders: 25-Valencia, 16-Carrick, 11-Giggs, 13-Park Ji-sung, 17-Nani, 18-Scholes, 24-Fletcher, forwards: 7-Rooney, 14-Hernandez, 10-Gao Xiaodong, 9- Berbatov.
Ferguson only announced the squad, but did not announce the starting lineup, although in Ferguson's mind, the starting list has been out, but his explanation to the players is that it has not yet been determined, and the starting list will not be announced until tomorrow afternoon.
Ferguson has a lot of experience, and he knows that if he publishes this starting line-up, maybe some players will accidentally leak it to those reporters who are everywhere, and in addition to keeping it secret, Ferguson also wants to keep the competitive attitude going until the very end.
In the afternoon, it was set-pieces and penalty training, facing an opponent like Barcelona, anything can happen, including the final penalty shootout, the opportunity is for those who are prepared, Ferguson can become a winning general on the pitch because he is extremely well prepared for every game, and he also has a strong desire to learn new tactics and new ways of playing.
After the training, Ferguson left Gao Xiaodong behind, took out the starting list he had drawn up and handed it to Gao Xiaodong, and asked Gao Xiaodong to talk about his views.
Gao Xiaodong was surprised and delighted when he heard this, because it is the captain's right to discuss tactics with the head coach, and Ferguson treats him as a captain.
Although Ferguson took out the starting list to ask Gao Xiaodong's opinion, how could Gao Xiaodong make irresponsible remarks about Ferguson's tactical arrangement, read it, pretended to ponder for a while, and said: "There seems to be a little less defender." ”
Ferguson smiled slightly and said: "Aren't you also able to play a cameo role as a defender, this time we are fighting at home, and if we want to attack, five defenders are enough." ”
Attack? Gao Xiaodong was suspicious in his heart and said: "Is it appropriate for us to play against Barcelona?"
Ferguson said: "Of course you can't dominate the attack, but you won't focus on defending and counter-attacking either. ”
"Oh. That's right. Gao Xiaodong felt that it was more suitable for Manchester United to defend against the counter, but since this was the decision of the coaching staff, Gao Xiaodong would not say much, although Ferguson gave him the right to participate in the tactical play, but he could not kick his nose in the face, so he chatted with Ferguson for a while about Barcelona's possible style of play, and then left home.
