Although Gao Xiaodong stole the limelight from Rooney, his goal can be called a mending pot for Rooney, if this goal is not scored, and the Rangers have not been won in the end, it is estimated that Rooney will be sprayed by the fans after the game and cannot take care of himself.

"Thank you!"

Rooney came over and gave him a hug after Gao Xiaodong's celebration.

Gao Xiaodong has a feeling of robbing someone's girlfriend, but being thanked by others, and then thinking about the fact that he still had the idea of buying a luck point to curse Rooney for not scoring a penalty, the fat man said secretly, ashamed, ashamed, but said: "What's polite, we are teammates, in China, that is friends, brothers." ”

Rooney gave a thumbs up, "Well, we're teammates and brothers." ”

Watching Rooney hug Gao Xiaodong in the past, Ferguson on the sidelines nodded, and said in his heart, although Rooney has no brains, he still knows how to advance and retreat.

The game continued, and after Manchester United broke the deadlock, they waited for a fierce counterattack against the Rangers, but they didn't expect the Rangers to fall behind by one goal, and they didn't even press the counterattack in a big way, but only invested a little offensive force, and most of the strength remained behind to defend.

The reason why Rangers are so sane is because their manager Smith is an old acquaintance of Alex Ferguson, and he knows that in the remaining ten minutes, the result of Rangers' counter-attack will definitely not be an equaliser, but a worse death.

For Rangers, who have been up against Valencia and Bousalborg in the group stage, and who have only lost one goal against Manchester United, are almost ahead of the other two on goal difference, Smith certainly won't struggle for nothing.

Seeing the Rangers playing behind as if they were ahead, the on-site commentator Martin was speechless, "It's not good to be overly aware and overly rational, just like now, if you hit a stunned head and attack it, the game will be very good, maybe there will be more goals, but now, if you can't resist, just lie down and enjoy." ”

Accustomed to the big open and closed style of play Manchester United fans were depressed for more than 80 minutes, Gao Xiaodong's goal was just a little cool, they really wanted the Rangers to attack, let Manchester United score a few more, but I didn't expect the Rangers to be so conservative, during the game, they kept booing the Rangers, wanting to stimulate the Rangers, but the Rangers turned a blind eye and ignored them, and kept the score of 0:1 until the end of the game.

As soon as the referee's whistle blew, Rangers boss Smith immediately walked over to congratulate and apologise to Ferguson.

"Congratulations on your victory, and I'm sorry for Valencia's injury. ”

Ferguson was generous, gave Smith a hug and said: "It was just an accident, I wish you all a good result in the Champions League as well." ”

While the two coaches were talking, reporters flocked to Gao Xiaodong's side to interview the hero who scored the only goal of the game.

Gao Xiaodong expressed his joy at winning his debut and scoring his maiden goal, while also expressing regret over Valencia's injury.

'It was my first game at Manchester United, the opponents were not weak, they were conservative and we won very hard. The Champions League is the toughest competition in the world, so it's good to win. I'm even happier to score my first Champions League goal for Manchester United and hopefully I can score more goals for Manchester United. ”

'Valencia is a very good player, a big part of Manchester United and I'm sad about his injury and I hope he recovers soon. ”

Gao Xiaodong's answer to the reporter's question deliberately mixed Chinese with English, even so, the reporter was still deeply surprised that his English was so fluent.

The England reporter was not easy to deal with, and after they asked a few normal questions, they immediately dug a hole for Gao Xiaodong, "Rooney missed the penalty, fortunately you made up for it, why didn't you come to take this penalty? It seems that you haven't missed a penalty at Inter." ”

Diana, the press officer of Manchester United in a gray professional suit, couldn't help but be a little worried when she heard it, she was afraid that Gao Xiaodong would say something inappropriate.

Gao Xiaodong secretly scolded the reporter in his heart, but said with a smile: "That's in Inter, Manchester United is much better than my penalty, in fact, the penalty is a matter of luck, Rooney scored a penalty in the last game, it is estimated that he thinks his ball luck is good, so he tried it." ”

Gao Xiaodong's words were impeccable, giving his teammates a top hat, defending Rooney, and leaving room for himself to take penalties in the future, just like a middle-aged uncle.

Diana, a cold-faced beauty who has never been smiling, also showed a smile on her face, thinking that this kid was really good, and she was much more worry-free than Rooney, who liked to talk nonsense.

The reporter was not reconciled and continued to ask: "Other teams have fixed penalty takers, don't Manchester United have one? It is impossible for all players to take turns to take penalties." ”

Gao Xiaodong spread his hands, "I really don't know about this, I just came, and Manchester United didn't get a few penalties." ”

Gao Xiaodong directly lied, because if he answered honestly, the reporter would definitely continue to say, is it still a matter of seniority to take penalties? Rooney's success rate in penalty kicks is not high, why do you still let him penalize, why can't you penalize, then Gao Xiaodong is not easy to answer.

Gao Xiaodong's answer made the reporters secretly admire, the hairy boy who is only 20 years old is like a human spirit, and the Chinese people are precocious?

However, the reporter did not give up, and then asked: "What do you think of the Jazz's lineup today?"

Before the game, Gao Xiaodong scolded Ferguson in his heart, but in front of reporters, Gao Xiaodong slapped Ferguson's ass.

"Today's line-up is very good, I believe that only coach Alex Ferguson in the world can line like this, dare to line like this, we have to play our lifelong enemy Liverpool at the weekend, this game must be rotated, this squad just guarantees the victory, and rotates the main team, and also trains the newcomers, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone. ”

Gao Xiaodong's fart was loud, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, but Diana next to him was embarrassed, and said in his heart Is this kid really ignorant or a brainless fan of Jazz, Jazz is obviously big today, and it is really luck to win.

Seeing that the reporter still had to ask questions, Diana was worried that Gao Xiaodong would lose too many words, so she immediately looked at her watch and said seriously: "The time is up, let's end the interview." ”

The reporters did not dwell on continuing the interview, because the press officer Diana is a person who strictly follows the rules, and if she makes an appointment for 10 minutes of interview, then there will definitely be no more than 1 minute. In addition to respecting her as a person, the reporter also offended her because she was the daughter of Manchester United legend Dennis Law, and the consequences were serious.

Gao Xiaodong returned to the locker room, and the players celebrated together, and then took a shower and went home.

……

Although Manchester United won the game, after the game, they were still questioned by the media, some said that Ferguson's starting was to give face to his old club, some said that Ferguson made reservations for the weekend against Liverpool, and some thought that Ferguson was a light enemy.

Because the Red Devils have always been strong at home in the Champions League, with 26 games against the away team as many as 19 times, even Barcelona was not spared at Old Trafford, and Glasgow Rangers have not won in the Champions League for three years, Manchester United is so difficult to win, it is really inconsistent with Manchester United's strength.

In addition, due to the same group of Valencia away 4-0 defeat of Boisalburg, Manchester United at the cost of Valencia's broken leg to win this victory also seems to be worth the loss, the reporter believes that Valencia's season reimbursement, is caused by Ferguson's light enemy, if Ferguson sent a full force, maybe the game scored early, there would be no such tragedy.

In addition to criticizing Ferguson, more people criticize Rooney, thinking that Rooney is in too poor condition and suitable to stay in bed instead of on the field; they think that Rooney does not have the ability to take penalty kicks and has a big heart, but he forcibly controls the penalty rights, which is irresponsible and selfish to Manchester United; and some people even think that Rooney should play as a substitute for Berbatov and Hernandez, and then start when he is in good shape.

Only Gao Xiaodong and Ryan Giggs scored high points, and the reporter believes that the two of them saved Ferguson, without Gao Xiaodong's last follow-up shot, perhaps Manchester United has lost the first place in the group.

Criticism or praise aside, though, the United don't have the time or energy to listen or refute it right now, as they head into their first major game of the season at the weekend, at home to Liverpool.
