An unsuspenseful FA Cup game was thrilling, and if it weren't for Pogba's late goal, United might have even capsized in the gutter on their own doorstep.

After the game, the media did not criticize Manchester United much, and the focus was on how to praise the amateur team Crowley.

The Sun joked that amateur side Crawley had done something that 19 Premier League teams had failed to do – pushing United so hard that they even had a chance to beat them.

The Times said that in this game, Crowley's players could each get a bonus of 150 pounds, which was the most for a Crowley player, but the bonus for Crowley's starting 11 was not as good as Gao Xiaodong's income for an hour.

The 18-year-old was also the big winner of the game, and after the game, Ferguson praised Pogba by name, saying that Pogba was the only bright spot of the game and that his future at United was bright.

After the game, many reporters and Manchester United fans are calling on Ferguson to mention Pogba to the first team now, don't wait until next season, they think Pogba can attack and defend well, is tall, and can provide the air defense capabilities that the main midfielders Fletcher, Scholes, and Gao Xiaodong do not have, and the technology is stronger than Fletcher, the difference is experience, but where does the experience come from if you don't play the game, a talented teenager like Pogba should mention the first team to increase the game experience.

There are even some anxious fans who want to bring Pogba to this Champions League knockout match with Inter Milan, so that Pogba can feel it in such a top competition.

Pogba's performance in the FA Cup did impress Ferguson, but Pogba is still too young after all, and he hasn't even played a league game, how could Ferguson take him to the Champions League knockout round, not to mention whether Pogba has the ability, Pogba may not be able to withstand this pressure, not every player is Gao Xiaodong, players like Gao Xiaodong, Messi, Ronaldo, can only produce one in decades.

The sensation caused by Pogba and Crowley lasted only a day and a half, and then it was diluted by the Champions League knockout ties.

The focus of the first leg of the round of 16 is Arsenal and Barcelona, Manchester United and Inter Milan.

This is a strong dialogue, and it is also the two most talked-about matches in the round of 16 knockout round.

Arsenal and Barcelona are old rivals in the 06 Champions League final, and it is also a big competition of technical flow football, which is known as the most gorgeous matchup in the Champions League this season.

Manchester United and Inter Milan were opponents in last season's Champions League final, and their skills were not as good as those of Barcelona and Arsenal, but both teams are tough and veterary, and their rivalry is considered a battle of iron.

A battle of words is indispensable for a strong conversation, especially with Manchester United and Inter Milan, who have just formed a bitter feud in last season's Champions League final.

At the press conference on the day of Manchester United's departure to Milan City, Ferguson was still angry about Inter Milan stealing Manchester United's Champions League title last season, the old man said that after losing, he didn't sleep well for three days, and didn't say a word to his family for a week, "Even if it's a century-old club, the number of times it can reach the Champions League final is only a handful, and it's the most painful to reach the final and miss the championship, I've been waiting for the opportunity for revenge, but I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon." ”

The reporter reminded Ferguson that Mourinho and Gao Xiaodong, Manchester United's biggest enemies last season, are gone, one goes to Real Madrid, and the other happens to be at Manchester United.

Ferguson said indifferently: "No matter who Inter Milan leaves, Inter Milan is still Inter Milan, this will not change, Manchester United's opponent is Inter Milan, not a coach or player." ”

Ferguson regretted Inter Milan's current situation, but he believes that Inter Milan's main framework during the treble last season is still there, and it is not easy for anyone to beat them.

Regarding the changes in the strength of the two teams after Gao Xiaodong transferred from Inter Milan to Manchester United, Ferguson said: "Gao Xiaodong is a great player, he has the ability to decide the outcome of the game, Inter Milan lost him a lot, and now there is no one in Inter Milan who can replace Gao Xiaodong, as for Coutinho, he is still too young to play the role of Gao Xiaodong in Inter Milan in a short time." ”

Gao Xiaodong followed Ferguson to participate in this press conference before going abroad, and was about to face the old master, Gao Xiaodong's mood was also very complicated.

Gao Xiaodong was also sad to see the team he played for fall from the treble to the competition for a Champions League spot, but he couldn't say anything more, after all, he is now a player for Manchester United and an opponent for Inter Milan.

However, Gao Xiaodong also expressed his opinion on this game.

Gao Xiaodong thinks that the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, although the current Inter Milan has undergone two changes of coach, but in addition to himself and Mourinho, the main lineup is still there, this game Manchester United is an away game, whoever wins the victory is possible.

A reporter deliberately asked Gao Xiaodong, last season, he led Inter Milan to defeat Manchester United, if he leads Manchester United to beat Inter Milan again this season, what can it mean?

Regarding this kind of obviously troublesome problem, Gao Xiaodong hit back with a Tai Chi punch, "That can't explain anything, even if the same team is in different states at different times, not to mention that after so long, the coach has changed." ”

When the reporter asked Gao Xiaodong if he had imagined the scene of appearing at the Meazza Stadium as an opponent, and whether he had ever thought about the feeling of breaking through the goal of Inter Milan, Gao Xiaodong replied: "I have thought about it, but I don't know what it will be like, but it must be different from the feeling of scoring at the Meazza Stadium every time I have done it before, one thing I can be sure of is that I will not celebrate when I score, this is the respect for Inter Milan and Inter Milan fans." ”

The reporter asked Gao Xiaodong again, what if he was booed in Meacha?

Gao Xiaodong replied: "I will definitely be sad, but how to play will be how to play, I am a professional player, not a child." ”

When Gao Xiaodong was interviewed, he was full of feelings for Inter Milan, spoke reasonably, and did not turn his face and deny people, but many Inter Milan players forgot Gao Xiaodong's contribution to Inter Milan back then, and spoke coldly to Gao Xiaodong in the media and Twitter.

Sneijder, the new midfielder of Inter Milan, is very angry that he did not win the Ballon d'Or, he thinks that Gao Xiaodong stole his golden ball, he told the "Milan Sports Newspaper", "Some people like to speculate the most, looking for thigh hugs everywhere, they think that the Inter coach is gone, the personnel are aging, so they choose to betray, and soon we will make him understand that Inter Milan is not someone's team, Inter Milan is a whole, Inter Milan is still great." ”

The Argentine Gang compromised with Gao Xiaodong last season because Mourinho covered Gao Xiaodong, and now that Gao Xiaodong has left Inter Milan, many people in the Argentine Gang have immediately dissociated themselves from Gao Xiaodong.

Cambiaso, the core of the Argentine gang, said before the game, "The success of last season was the result of every player, including the substitutes, everyone working together and fighting to the death, not the credit of one person, the poor results of this season are also the problem of all the players, you can't blame one person, football is a collective sport, we will prove it tomorrow." ”

Because Gao Xiaodong is coming to Meacha, Inter Milan fans have mixed feelings, they are emotionally difficult to accept that last season's hero turned around to fight themselves, some people said that Gao Xiaodong is a traitor, he came to fight with Inter Milan is the enemy of Inter Milan, and he should boo Gao Xiaodong fiercely on the spot;

While the Inter Milan fans were arguing, Gao Xiaodong flew to Malpensa Airport with Manchester United and returned to the city that made him famous.
