By beating Inter away at home, United have essentially taken their destiny into their own hands, returning to home and reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League as long as they don't concede by two goals.

In addition to controlling the fate of promotion, Manchester United and Manchester United's generals have also received praise from the media, Gao Xiaodong, Paul Scholes and Nemanja Vidic have all entered the best team of the Champions League in this round.

Compared with the praise of the outside world and the best lineup, Gao Xiaodong values his goals more, don't look at just a goal, but this goal allows Gao Xiaodong to catch up with Messi's 6 goals in terms of goals, and is tied for first place with Messi in the Champions League scorer list.

World football stars are like clouds, but the three who can compete with Gao Xiaodong for the Golden Ball Award are Messi, Ronaldo, and Kaka, and now Kaka is plagued by injuries and his state is no longer what it used to be.

With the hat trick of the Manchester derby, Gao Xiaodong scored the 32nd goal of the league, and Ronaldo did not score in the last round, Gao Xiaodong led Ronaldo by two goals in the league goal in the competition for the European Golden Boot, and now the number of goals in the Champions League is equal to Messi, more than Ronaldo two, Gao Xiaodong's personal data has surpassed the two competitors, as long as the honor is not weaker than the opponent, Gao Xiaodong's hope of winning the Golden Ball Award again is very great.

After the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester United had a Premier League game against Wigan Athletic at the weekend, so they did not stay in Milan and flew back to England early the next morning, and Gao Xiaodong was not able to go to President Moratti's invitation.

Manchester United went on an expedition and fought another tough game, the players' fitness was very problematic, and Ferguson gave the players a half-day off to give them a good rest, anyway, the opponents in the weekend league were not strong.

After yesterday's game, the Manchester United generals celebrated again, slept too late, and Gao Xiaodong didn't fall asleep when he took the plane the next day, and when he got home, Gao Xiaodong didn't eat, so he slept first.

After waking up, Gao Xiaodong came to the living room and found that Chen Qiang was here.

"Brother Chen, why are you here, the team is not busy now?"

"Busy, if you're not busy, I came to you for something to tell you. ”

Chen Qiang saw Gao Xiaodong come in, and quickly stood up, the current Gao Xiaodong is no longer the little fat man who just came to Europe and doesn't know anything, the current Gao Xiaodong is Mr. Golden Ball, the core of Manchester United, and a football superstar who can talk and laugh with celebrities and superwealthy, Chen Qiang must give Gao Xiaodong enough respect.

"What's the matter? just make a phone call, and I want you to come to Manchester yourself. Gao Xiaodong said with some surprise.

"I'm afraid that the phone won't be clear, besides, I haven't been here for a long time, and I want to come and see you. ”

Chen Qiang said very naturally, he and Gao Xiaodong have been together for four years, and they have long since changed from the original cooperative relationship to the current friend and brother relationship.

Gao Xiaodong was a little moved, and said: "It's okay to come and hang out often, if the team is too busy, just find someone to help, don't always do everything by yourself." ”

While the two were talking, Xiao Le came over from the kitchen with the food and said, "Xiaodong, you haven't eaten yet, let's talk while eating, Mr. Chen, you can eat some together." ”

Chen Qiang looked at his watch and said, "It's only what time it is, I ate on the plane, I'm not hungry." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "Then I'll eat first, Brother Chen, if you have something, you can say something." ”

Chen Qiang pondered for a moment, as if he was brewing a speech, "Xiaodong, have you paid attention to the Asian Cup?"

Although Gao Xiaodong has not entered the national team, he also knows something about the national team's games, and said: "Understand a little, what's wrong?"

Chen Qiang said: "The national football team played very poorly in the Asian Cup, failed to qualify from the group, and the head coach Gao Bo was under a lot of pressure, and now fans across the country are clamoring to change the coach." ”

Gao Xiaodong said disdainfully: "Our Huaguo participated in the Asian Cup, maybe only once did not qualify from the group, did the head coach leave the class that time?"

Chen Qiang said: "Yes, Zhu Guanghu's national team, failed to qualify for the 07 Asian Cup group, and he was out of class." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "That's it, Zhu Guanghu got out of class directly, isn't he Gao Bo still sitting in the handsome position now." Pressure, which national team manager has no pressure. ”

Gao Xiaodong and the head coach of the national football team, Gao Bo, had a conflict, although Gao Bo later went to Chen Qiang's house to apologize to Gao Xiaodong, but Gao Xiaodong always felt a little uncomfortable when he remembered Gao Bolai.

Chen Qiang said: "Gao Bo is still capable, although he did not qualify for the group this time, but the record of one win, one draw and one loss is not too bad, although there are many people who hope that he will get out of class, but there are many people who support him to continue to stay." ”

Gao Xiaodong frowned and said, "Brother Chen, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't make so many detours." ”

Chen Qiang was a little embarrassed, and said: "Okay, I'll just say it directly, Xiaodong, you know that I and Gao Bo are still acquainted, Gao Bo has encountered difficulties recently, although the Football Association wants to support him, but the pressure from the fans is too great, it is said that the domestic real estate giant Yida Group is preparing to sponsor the Football Association to engage in echelon construction and invite foreign teachers, if Yida really makes a move, Gao Bo will undoubtedly get out of class." ”

Gao Xiaodong lowered his head to eat and didn't say a word.

Chen Qiang continued: "Gao Bo found me this time, I hope I can persuade you to return to the national team regardless of your past suspicions and support him to stay in office, Gao Bo said ......." ”

Before Gao Xiaodong could speak, Xiao Le said: "This Gao Bo is too thick-skinned, when he ran for head coach in 09, he asked Xiaodong for help, and when he became the head coach, he threw Gao Xiaodong aside, this kind of person who has no righteousness and backbone, who helps him is Shi Lezhi." ”

Chen Qiang said: "Xiao Le, you can't say that, the chairman of the national football team at that time had a conflict with Gao Xiaodong, for the unity of the team, and a better working environment, Gao Bo agreed to give up Xiaodong, Gao Bo also told me that he was also for the future of Chinese football." Although you were also very good at that time, you were just one person after all, and now Gao Bo wants to invite you to the national team, which is also for the future of Chinese football. ”

Gao Xiaodong smiled: "Brother Chen, you are actually here to be a lobbyist for Gao Bo." ”

Chen Qiang said: "I'm not a lobbyist for Gao Bo, I watched all the games of the national football team, I think Gao Bo is right to take the path of technical flow, I hope he can work for a few more years, not tossing, that's why I came to you." ”

Gao Xiaodong said disapprerovingly: "Brother Chen, you belong to a blind eye and can't see Mount Tai, how do you know that foreign coaches can't lead the national team." ”

Chen Qiang said: "Huaguo has not had a foreign coach, but the results are worse than the local coaches, I don't think we can be superstitious about foreign coaches." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "Brother Chen, to be honest, the contradiction between me and Gao Bo is not big, he also apologized to me, I just feel uncomfortable now, I believe that Gao Bo is definitely not comfortable psychologically, two people who are uncomfortable in their hearts work together, talk about tacit understanding, talk about trust." So I think it's better not to go in for the time being. ”

Chen Qiang said: "Xiaodong, if it was purely for Gaobo, I wouldn't be here today, I came to you mainly because of Yida Group." ”
