Chapter 799: A New Core Is Established

After Hernandez's goal, United played more easily, holding on to the half, and Valencia had nothing to do and had to accept the defeat at home.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the more than 3,000 United fans who travelled with the squad were very excited, standing in the stands and cheering at the players on the pitch to thank them for finally breaking the record of no win away at Valencia and saving face for the Red Devils.

Away to a team like Valencia, without Paul Scholes, Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs, the United players won easily 2-0, and the Manchester United players were full of accomplishment, chasing and fighting on the pitch, interacting with the fans to celebrate, and unleashing their joy to the fullest.

Rio Ferdinand's return was one of the main reasons for United's victory, but Gao Xiaodong's outstanding play in midfield was a key factor in United's ability to break the Mestalla's winless streak.

Due to the absence of the big man Scholes before the game, the media and fans were not very comfortable with Gao Xiaodong's solo confrontation with the Valencia midfielder, in fact, even the Manchester United coaching staff and players were worried that Valencia's home stadium was not easy to mess with.

However, Gao Xiaodong proved to the world with his performance that he is worthy of 8,000 euros, and he alone can support Manchester United's midfield.

This is a real tough battle, especially without Scholes on the field, Gao Xiaodong's play has won the recognition of all players, even Berbatov, Fletcher and Carrick, they have to admit that Gao Xiaodong can score goals, not by Scholes, he himself has the ability to be the core of the attack in Manchester United.

Ferdinand came to Gao Xiaodong, who was applauding the fans, "Gao, you did a great job today! ”

Gao Xiaodong said with regret: "It's a pity that only one goal was scored." ”

This forced people to be speechless, and what was even more helpless was that Ferdinand had to comfort him, "Very good, you are not a striker." The free-kick was beautiful. ”

Vidic is now competing with Ferdinand for the captaincy, and when he saw Ferdinand courting Gao Xiaodong, he also hurried over and gave a thumbs up, "Gao, you played really well, your performance today can catch up with Paul (Scholes)." ”

Gao Xiaodong was speechless, as if Scholes had won the game in Mestalla, but he still said modestly: "How can I compare with Scholes, I have to work harder." ”

Ferdinand saw that Vidic was also coming to sell well, so he hurriedly upgraded the praise and said: "Don't be modest, your attack power is better than Paul's, but your experience is poor." ”

Not to be outdone, Vidic said: "Judging from the handling of the ball a few times, it is still very reasonable, and the rhythm is well controlled. ”

Gao Xiaodong was already perfect in Vidic's mouth, Ferdinand was hesitating to compare Gao Xiaodong to Maradona in the mouth of the fans, at this time reporters came over and surrounded to interview Gao Xiaodong, Ferdinand breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Gao Xiaodong: "Spanish reporters are not good birds, you have to be careful." “

Over there, Vidic also patted Gao Xiaodong on the shoulder, "Celebrate your achievements in the evening."

Ferdinand and Vidic left, and Gao Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief and cheered up for an interview with reporters.

The first question of the Spanish reporter was to ask Gao Xiaodong how it felt to lead the team to play Valencia alone?

Gao Xiaodong was full of flowers, of course he would not be deceived by this hidden trap, he smiled and said: "This is not me leading the team alone, today is Vidic and Ferdinand, the two big brothers, they are the heroes of today's victory, I am responsible for the attack in the front court at best, Scholes's absence gave me a lot of pressure, but after the goal, I was completely relaxed." ”

The English journalist immediately asked, "Is there a Scholes, and what difference does it make for you?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "Scholes is a midfield master, he knows when to do something, with him, I have more energy to attack, and now, I have to do more. ”

The reporter asked: "This game is Manchester United's second win in Spain and the first win in the Mestalla, what do you think of such a result?"

Gao Xiaodong said happily: "Although there are some styles of play, I still think that a great team like Manchester United should not have such a poor record in Spain, and I believe that we will do better and better in the future." ”

The Spanish reporter said: "When you scored the first goal, I found out that you played with a temporary change of foot, can I ask you which one is your main foot?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "The main foot? ”

The reporters were surprised, and one reporter asked, "Which foot do you usually use to shoot?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "Catch up with which one to use." ”

The journalist asked: "It's been a little over a month since you moved to Manchester United, have you adapted to life in Manchester, and what do you do outside of training and games?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "I am more casual, life in Manchester feels very good, outside of competitions and training, I mostly watch movies, play games, and sometimes eat with friends. ”

The Spanish reporter asked: "Do you have any plans to play elsewhere in the future?"

Gao Xiaodong shook his head and said: "Not yet, I like life in Manchester now, and I hope to win many titles for Manchester United." ”

The Spanish journalist asked: "Isn't Real Madrid Barcelona able to attract you either?"

Gao Xiaodong said confidently: "I don't think Real Madrid Barcelona is stronger than Manchester United. ”

The Spanish reporter said: "Then do you want to meet Real Madrid and Barcelona in the knockout round of the Champions League?"

Gao Xiaodong smiled: "I hope to meet these two teams in the final, especially Real Madrid. ”

The Spanish reporter asked, "Why? Is it because they are strong?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "No, I don't want Mu Shuai to be too sad. ”

When Gao Xiaodong was interviewed, several players were eavesdropping, and seeing Gao Xiaodong's answer so domineering, Anderson suddenly put his head in front of the camera, gave a thumbs up, and shouted: "Awesome!

Patrice Evra over there also chatted about juvenile madness, ran to the camera, stretched out his finger to make a V-shape, "Long live Manchester United!"

Seeing that his teammates were making trouble and the interview couldn't go on, Gao Xiaodong refused the reporters' continued questions, and followed his teammates back to the locker room to continue to celebrate.

Then Ferguson brought Gao Xiaodong to the press conference hall again, and praised Gao Xiaodong's performance today as world-class in front of reporters all over the world, saying that Manchester United has finally found its own attacking core, and with Gao Xiaodong, Scholes can rest appropriately in the future.

Later, the reporter asked Scholes about his retirement, and Ferguson said that although Gao Xiaodong has the ability to take the lead alone, Scholes is still indispensable in one or two seasons, and he can continue to help Gao Xiaodong grow.
