Not long ago, during the World Cup in South Africa, the German national team fell out directly with Ballack and Lahm because of the captain's problem, and the German team's loss to Spain in the World Cup semifinals may also be related to this factor.

Manchester United in Gary. Neville has always been captained by superstars with the ability, seniority, personality and fame in all aspects, so there has never been much dispute with the captain of Manchester United.

Arrived in Gary. Neville, although Neville's ability and reputation are not the strongest in Manchester United, his qualifications are only comparable to Scholes and Giggs, and his personality is more suitable than Giggs and Scholes, so no one dares to disagree with Manchester United.

However, with Neville's retirement and Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs getting older, United no longer have a captain who can stand out in all aspects.

Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Evra are no different in terms of ability, seniority and age.

Fletcher is of the right age and has enough qualifications, but Rooney is more of the right age, has enough qualifications, and has more ability and fame than Fletcher.

Whoever captains these five people is qualified to be the captain, but any one of these five people will not be able to convince the other four rivals if they are elected captain.

Ferguson has also been a headache about who these five people choose, otherwise Gary may have been allowed last season. Neville retired.

And this time Gary. After Neville really retired, Ferguson had more troubles, because in Gary, when Neville announced his retirement, he once recommended Gao Xiaodong to Ferguson to replace him as captain.

Before this official retirement, Neville went to Ferguson again, and he once again solemnly recommended Gao Xiaodong to Ferguson, thinking that in the current situation, the ability is super strong, and Gao Xiaodong is the most suitable captain to be the captain, the only drawback is that the qualifications are too shallow.

On the day of Neville's retirement, Manchester United's official website announced the list of five candidates for the next captain, Rooney, Fletcher, Ferdinand, Vidic, and Evra were among them, but there was no name of Gao Xiaodong, which caused dissatisfaction among Gao Xiaodong's fans.

Gao Xiaodong's fans believe that although Gao Xiaodong has not been in Manchester United for a long time, in addition to his qualifications, Gao Xiaodong's ability, fame, and personality are fully worthy of the position of Manchester United captain.

Before winning the Golden Globe Award, although Gao Xiaodong had the idea of being the captain, he didn't have much confidence, after all, the qualifications were still shallow, and there were many bigwigs on his head, after winning the Golden Globe Award, there was also the support of the old captain Neville, Gao Xiaodong felt that he could compete for the captain's position, and now the official website announced the candidates, Gao Xiaodong didn't even have a name, which made Gao Xiaodong very suspicious, he decided to go to Neville to find out, among the Manchester United bigwigs, Neville is also closer to him, a bit like a friend, unlike Scholes and Giggs who just regard him as a new teammate who needs guidance and support。

The day after Neville's retirement, Gao Xiaodong came to visit Neville's home with gifts to seek tips on how to get on top.

"High, welcome, welcome. ”

Neville likes Gao Xiaodong very much, he thinks Rooney is useless, and Gao Xiaodong is the key person who will lead Manchester United to the next glorious era, which is why Neville supports Gao Xiaodong as Manchester United captain.

Although Gao Xiaodong came to visit Neville's home for the first time, Neville's wife and children have long been familiar with Gao Xiaodong and are very enthusiastic about Gao Xiaodong.

After sitting down, Gao Xiaodong said: "Brother Gary, your retirement is so sudden, everyone can't accept it." ”

Neville laughed: "I don't deserve to play at Manchester United anymore, and I don't want to transfer, why don't I retire, waiting to be laughed at by the fans." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "How can the fans laugh at you, you are a legend of Manchester United, even if you have more mistakes, it will not affect your status at Manchester United." ”

Neville laughed: "It's good that the fans are as tolerant as you. ”

Gao Xiaodong smiled: "That's because you are too demanding of yourself." ”

Neville said solemnly: "At Manchester United, the pressure is everywhere, you have to be more demanding of yourself, otherwise you will fall behind. ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "Yes, I feel the pressure, and I have been trying to improve myself. ”

Neville laughed: "Actually, you've done a good job, Manchester United's current record, even when Ronaldo was there, but I think you can take on bigger responsibilities, such as being the next captain of Manchester United." ”

Neville knew that Gao Xiaodong might have come today to announce that the official website did not have his name in the list of captain candidates, so he directly changed the topic to this.

Gao Xiaodong was very grateful for Neville's understanding, and said: "Thank you Big Brother Gary for your support, but I don't seem to be playing, I don't seem to be on the official website for the list of captain's candidates." ”

Neville smiled slightly and said: "When will the official website decide the captain of Manchester United, and the only one who will decide who will be the captain is the old man, and the official website is to let the wind go." ”

Gao Xiaodong suddenly realized and said, "Oh, you mean that the official website doesn't mean the lord?"

Neville said: "I can't say that there is nothing at all, maybe it is the old man who used it to test the reaction of the fans and players, it turns out that the old man often plays this hand." ”

Ferguson is really an old fox, Gao Xiaodong secretly scolded himself, and said to Neville: "Brother Gary, what do you mean, I still have hope?"

Neville said: "There should be, the old man is not easy to choose as the captain." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "Why?"

Neville said: "Among the five candidates, Ferdinand is very competitive, easy to be proud, and there have been a lot of injuries recently, the old man may not choose him as the captain, although Vidic is very good in all aspects, but he is not a local player in England after all, Rooney If he does not make a transfer and prostitution incident, it is very likely, now I think the old man may not dare to let Rooney be the captain, as for Fletcher, ability, fame, The influence of the dressing room is not as good as Vidic, Evra is not good captain in the French team, and at most he is a symbolic deputy at Manchester United, who do you say the old man chooses to be the captain. ”

Gao Xiaodong scratched his head and said with a smile: "This thing is not a good choice, it looks like the lord is going to draw lots." ”

Neville laughed and said, "The captain of Manchester United is child's play, how can you choose at will." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "Can't there be no captain?"

Neville said: "Of course the captain will, but I can't tell who the old man will put in the position." ”

Gao Xiaodong said with a shy face: "Brother Gary, how much hope do you say I have?"

Gary Neville said: "I think you are the most suitable captain of Manchester United, but the old man thinks you are too young and too young, so I hope to have it, but it is not too big, I think the best thing for you is to fight for a vice-captain first, and then seek the opportunity to be the captain." ”

Gao Xiaodong said disappointedly: "Even if Ferdinand and Vidic are captains, they may not retire in three or two years." ”

When Neville poured water for Gao Xiaodong, he patted Gao Xiaodong on the shoulder, "Don't be anxious, you have time." ”

"I'm not in a hurry, I've only been in the club for half a season. Gao Xiaodong muttered secretly in his heart, I don't have that much time, I have to move to other leagues.

Neville saw that Gao Xiaodong had an uncertain look on his face, and said with a smile: "You really don't have to worry, in my opinion, maybe the old man will not rashly arrange the captain, and he will continue to use the situation, with several vice-captains taking turns to serve as captains on the field, and then announce the captains at the end of the season." ”

When Gao Xiaodong heard this, he was overjoyed, since then, the status of the vice captain in the team has been greatly improved, and as time goes by, he has become more and more advantageous, Gao Xiaodong feels that his trip to Neville is really not in vain.
