Chapter 896: Locker Room Turmoil
After the goal, Gao Xiaodong was very excited, he jumped high and roared at the sky.
This is Gao Xiaodong's 30th goal, and he is already 10 goals ahead of second-place Tevez in the scorer list, and the battle for the Premier League's top scorer is almost no longer in suspense than the Premier League.
For Gao Xiaodong, his current competitors are no longer these strikers in the Premier League, but Ronaldo and Messi, these two people are the biggest obstacle for Gao Xiaodong to win the European Golden Boot Award.
Andy Gray, the on-site commentator, was stunned by this shocking shot, and sighed halfway through: "God can't prevent this goal!" Gao's scoring ability is too strong, only 27 rounds, he has scored 30 goals, I really can't imagine how many goals he will score if he plays as a striker." ”
Ferguson clenched his fists and rushed out, looking even more excited than Gao Xiaodong.
Because Ferguson once let go of big words, with him at Manchester United for a day, Manchester City would not want to climb on the head of Manchester United.
Now that the owners of Manchester City are willing to spend money, and their strength is getting stronger and stronger year by year, so that Manchester City can win at Old Trafford, and it is really difficult to say whether Manchester United can hold down Manchester City in the future.
Therefore, after Gao Xiaodong equalized, Ferguson was particularly excited.
Mancini frowned, Gao Xiaodong is the Manchester United player he fears the most, he conducted targeted training for Gao Xiaodong before the game, but from the perspective of the effect of the game, it is not good, although Gao Xiaodong has only scored now, but he is everywhere at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and he is not restricted at all.
Maybe we have to think of another way, if we don't guard against Gao Xiaodong, Manchester City probably won't want to retreat from Old Trafford, Mancini thought to himself.
In the VIP box, Manchester City owner Mansour stared at Gao Xiaodong thoughtfully, even if he was a pseudo-fan, he saw Gao Xiaodong's dominance on the field, but what he didn't understand was why Gao Xiaodong would give up the world's highest annual salary offered by Manchester City and choose Manchester United.
Maybe it's because Manchester City can't play in the Champions League, but Manchester City has a lot of hope of winning the Champions League this season, as long as we get the Champions League place, I must win Gao Xiaodong, I don't believe that there are still people in this world who don't like money.
Mansour secretly made up his mind that after getting the Champions League seat, he would definitely grab Gao Xiaodong.
After Gao Xiaodong scored, the first half of the game was over, and the players on both sides went back to the locker room to rest.
Home team dressing room
Anderson, Park Ji-sung, Rafael and other members of the Portuguese-speaking gang all gathered around Gao Xiaodong like a moon, full of praise for his equalizing goal.
"Captain, you're having a great time shooting that ball!"
"The captain is domineering and leaking!"
"I almost pee!"
"It's too powerful! If I were the goalkeeper, I would probably be scared down. ”
……
Listening to everyone's praise, Gao Xiaodong said that it was average, but he was actually very happy.
Berbatov, Fletcher and others couldn't get used to it, but seeing that Rooney and Giggs also praised Gao Xiaodong, they had to endure and not speak.
After a while, Ferguson came in, and after the lord entered the door, he began to exaggerate Xiaodong.
"Xiao Dong, your goal is too crucial, knock down their momentum, otherwise, I am afraid that the second half will be a bit troublesome. ”
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said: "BOSS, what's the trouble, they dare to shrink into the turtle shell, we will break his turtle shell." ”
Ferguson laughed: "Mancini is also a rare representative of attacking football in Italy, but I didn't expect to become so conservative for the sake of results." ”
After Ferguson praised Gao Xiaodong, he began to analyze the performance of the players in the first half and lay out the tactics for the second half.
Although from a standings point of view, United can accept a draw, but this is a derby and at Old Trafford, and neither Manchester United fans nor players will accept a draw.
Ferguson's tactics in the second half were still the continuation of the wing attack tactics in the first half, and from the course of the first half, Manchester United created certain chances, but did not take them.
In addition, Ferguson speculated that Manchester City would not accept the result of the draw, so Manchester City is expected to attack in the second half, and Ferguson is also ready to defend and counterattack.
The visiting dressing room is in chaos at the moment.
Because Mancini's tactics were a bit conservative, mainly talking about how to defend Gao Xiaodong, Tevez was a little dissatisfied and directly stood up and questioned it.
"Coach, what we need is not one point, what we want is three points, what do you mean by you still putting up a 451 formation? How can I score goals against two central defenders with one striker? What is so great about Gao Xiaodong, we need the whole team to defend him. ”
When Manich heard this, his face sank, questioning his tactical arrangement in this situation, isn't this doubting his level?
Mancini was unhappy in his heart, but he still spoke very politely, and said: "Carlos, more strikers do not necessarily score more goals, and a striker who is not the same will score fewer goals." ”
Tevez said: "What you said is not a normal situation, if you want to win, you still need more strikers. ”
Balotelli said: "I agree with Tevez, coach, I'm going to play in the second half and I'm going to score. ”
Mancini's face sank, and he pointed at Sang and scolded: "Is this something you can play if you want to? The coaching staff should adjust according to the situation on the field, if anyone wants to play, what is the use of the coach." ”
Tevez sneered: "I haven't stopped Hua Guogao from scoring for so long, I see what the coaching staff's tactics do." ”
Mancini got angry and said: "Did you play badly in the first half? This is Old Trafford, is 1-1 unacceptable? How many times have we won in 20 years on this pitch?"
Tevez sneered: "I knew you didn't want to win at all. ”
Mancini trembled with anger, "Carlos, do you have a brain, don't want to win, why did I just say so much......
Tevez was also angry, clenched his fists and said, "Who are you scolding for having no brains?"
Yaya Toure, Silva and others saw that the captain and the head coach were about to do it, and hurriedly came over to stop the two.
"Coach, calm the anger, Carlos is also for the good of the team. ”
"Carlos, listen to the coach. ”
"What are you arguing about, the first half was okay, if it wasn't for Manchester United's luck, we would have taken the lead. ”
……
Under the persuasion of the players, Tevez and Mancini finally stopped arguing, but then when Mancini laid out the tactics, neither of them looked at the other.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly and the second half began.
Manchester United, who were playing at home, did not have Yu Yong, who equalised at the end of the first half, and continued to attack Manchester City.
Although Manchester City's captain Carlos Tevez and manager Roberto Mancini had an altercation at half-time, it did not affect the morale of the team much, they still played very tenacious, the players were very aggressive, fighting for every ball, and never giving United the slightest chance to get the ball easily.
