Chapter 915: I'm Sorry
At the end of the game, Manchester United defeated defending champions Inter Milan 2-1 away, avenging last season's one-shot victory.
Inter Milan is a lose-lose game and result, the players are playing aggrieved, and the hope of promotion is slim, except for Zanetti and Eto'o who came to say hello to Gao Xiaodong, and newcomer Coutinho came to Gao Xiaodong to exchange jerseys, and the others didn't even say hello to Gao Xiaodong and went back to the locker room with their heads bored.
Gao Xiaodong didn't care, he understood the mood of his former teammates, and it wouldn't be easy to change anyone, let alone the defending champion who thought highly of himself.
'Philippe Coutinho, play well, keep working hard and I'm sure you'll be the new core of Inter. ”
Gao Xiaodong handed his ordinary jersey to Coutinho and encouraged him.
However, Gao Xiaodong is not too exaggerated, a young man like Coutinho is talented and ambitious, as long as his luck is not too bad, there is a lot of hope for Inter Milan to take the position.
"Thank you, Brother Gao, you played better than me in this game. Coutinho was so excited that he hugged Gao Xiaodong's jersey in his arms, don't look at Gao Xiaodong is only two years older than him, but he has always regarded Gao Xiaodong as the object of his emulation,
"Then you work hard next time, I'll be waiting for you at Old Trafford. Gao Xiaodong blinked and said to Coutinho.
Coutinho was a little embarrassed and said: "I don't necessarily have a chance to play in the next game." ”
"Then be ready and believe in yourself, and with your performance today, there will be a chance in the next game. ”
Gao Xiaodong didn't say anything to Coutinhodo, encouraged him a few words, and went over to be interviewed by reporters who had been waiting anxiously.
This game is also Gao Xiaodong's first return to Meazza after leaving Inter Milan, and there are many speculations about what kind of performance Gao Xiaodong will have in this game before the game.
Some people think that Inter Milan knows Gao Xiaodong well, and it is certainly not easy for Gao Xiaodong to score in Meacha; some people think that Gao Xiaodong is an all-round warrior, and it is not easy for Inter Milan to prevent Gao Xiaodong.
After the game, Gao Xiaodong proved that he couldn't be targeted, he made great contributions at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, scoring a goal, and another goal was also scored by Rooney after he shot.
The reporter's first question was to ask Gao Xiaodong how he felt after scoring a goal.
Gao Xiaodong replied: "I felt very conflicted at the time, happy and sad, happy that I scored, sad that I scored the goal of Inter. If I could, I would like Inter and Manchester United to qualify, and for now, all I can say is that I'm sorry. ”
Gao Xiaodong then explained the reason why he didn't celebrate after the goal, "That's the respect for the Inter fans, they gave me a lot, I got a lot here, when I arrived in Milan, there were a lot of Inter fans who picked me up, they gave me a homely feeling, I have to respect them." But I want to win, I want to reach the Champions League final, I want to win the title for the United fans, so I have to score. ”
The reporter asked Gao Xiaodong again what the difference between returning to Meacha felt different from the original.
To this, Gao Xiaodong replied: "Even if I am a Manchester United player now, I still feel like I am at home when I come to Meazza, every time I complete a beautiful move, I think the fans on both sides will cheer me in their hearts, and many times, I even feel that I am playing a training match at Inter." ”
When the reporter asked Gao Xiaodong what he thought of the 2:1 score, Gao Xiaodong said that this is a very good score, which means that Manchester United can advance if it loses 0:1 at home, which can greatly relieve the psychological pressure of the players.
Gao Xiaodong expressed his gratitude to head coach Alex Ferguson for wearing the captain's armband in this game, "I am very surprised, this is the first time I have become the captain on the field, it has always been Vidic and Ferdinand before, as the captain of the field and the team I used to play for, it definitely feels different, thank you to the coach for giving me this opportunity, I believe he did not disappoint." ”
Regarding the current problems of Inter Milan, Gao Xiaodong was reluctant to say more, and he said implicitly: " Now I'm not a player of Inter Milan, it stands to reason that I can talk nonsense, but I am still a former Inter player, so I have to be cautious, I think Inter is still strong, they are still among the best teams in Europe, they have just won the Club World Cup is the best proof, as for why the league results are so poor, I think it is a problem of mentality, the fans, players and coaches are too anxious, adjust the mentality, Inter is still very strong. ”
Regarding whether he will return to Inter Milan, Gao Xiaodong replied: "It's hard to say in the future, no one is God, but I'm very happy at Manchester United now, and I have no idea of leaving." ”
The reporter also asked Gao Xiaodong how he evaluated Coutinho and whether he had any advice for Inter's hopeful star.
Gao Xiaodong said: "When I didn't leave Inter, I had contact with Coutinho, he is a very good technique, he is also very smart, he is constantly striving for improvement, the future is very bright, I think now he needs to continue to improve himself, fill his shortcomings, at the same time, try to play as many games as possible, only in the game can you really improve." ”
When Gao Xiaodong returned to the locker room after the interview, he ran into Chairman Moratti in the mixed aisle.
Moratti had just come out of the dressing room, his hair was gray, his expression was very lost, and he was much older and haggard than he was when he won the treble last season.
The two looked at each other and were stunned for a moment, and then Moratti took the lead in speaking: "Hello Xiaodong, welcome home." “
Gao Xiaodong smiled, "Thank you, chairman, when I come to Milan, I do feel at home, and the fans and players of Inter Milan are good to me." ”
Moratti sighed, "Actually, I don't want you to come back, because your threat is too big, and your return means that our chances of winning are three points smaller, and now Inter Milan needs a win." ”
Gao Xiaodong also sighed and said regretfully: "Chairman, I'm sorry, I have no choice." ”
Moratti waved his hand and said: "You are beyond reproach, as a Manchester United player, you are doing perfectly now, just like you did at Inter Milan last year, the only thing I regret and regret is not keeping you." ”
Gao Xiaodong smiled bitterly: "The chairman blames himself, it's not that you didn't stay, I insisted on leaving." ”
Moratti shook his head and vented his emotions to himself, "No, I think I didn't do my best, what I admire most are players like Ronaldo, Messi, Ronaldinho, you are not my favorite type, now think about it, maybe you are the person that Inter needs the most......"
Gao Xiaodong listened quietly and did not interject again.
After talking for a while, seeing that the two head coaches had come out to attend the post-match press conference, Moratti patted Gao Xiaodong on the shoulder and said, "Goodbye Xiaodong, if you don't leave tomorrow, go to my house for a cup of coffee." ”
Gao Xiaodong bowed slightly and said, "Okay, if you don't leave, I will definitely visit." ”
Moratti left, and when Ferguson passed by Gao Xiaodong, he wanted to call Gao Xiaodong to attend the press conference together, but after looking at Gao Xiaodong's slightly sad expression, Ferguson gave up this idea and went to the studio hall alone.
