Gao Xiaodong reacted quickly, and as soon as he saw the Stoke City players shift the focus of defense to Scholes and Nani, he immediately changed the way he played, moved closer to the two of them, picked up the two of them, and took over the work of organization and dribbling.

The on-the-spot command of the coaches on the sidelines is important, but after all, they are not playing on the pitch themselves, and it takes time to convey their intentions to the players.

Here Place just passed on his ideas to his disciples, here Gao Xiaodong changed his style of play, Place has no way to immediately let his disciples change their tactics again, even if Place wants to change and the game is going on on the field, he has no way to tell his thoughts to the players.

Don't look at the coach shouting and gesturing on the side, in fact, there are nearly 30,000 fans shouting and shouting in the surrounding stands, and the players on the field basically can't hear it even if they listen carefully, not to mention that they are concentrating on playing, the coach's shouting is just to give himself a little psychological comfort, in fact, the role of the captain on the field is greater than that of the coach on the sidelines.

Nani is a bit brainless, sometimes he just knows how to pass, but Scholes is a very smart and very experienced veteran, he saw Gao Xiaodong coming to answer, and immediately passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong, and met Gao Xiaodong next to Gao Xiaodong, and opened the defender for Gao Xiaodong.

In the 30th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong and Scholes made a two-by-one cooperation in the middle, Gao Xiaodong received the ball and shot with his feet, deducted the ball, and shook a defender.

Nani's breakthrough is still the best in Manchester United now, Gao Xiaodong wanted to pass the ball to Nani, but suddenly the old captain Gary. Neville was in his sight and slotted diagonally from the wing into the box unguarded.

Gao Xiaodong immediately gave up the pass to Nani, directly switched to a left-footed straight stop, and passed the ball to the ribs of the Stoke City penalty area.

Gary. Neville, who is playing his 600th game for Manchester United, has been very aggressive and has often stepped forward into the opposition half.

But today United were attacking Patrice Evra and Nani's side, Gary. After all, Neville is old, his explosiveness is not good, it is good to be able to defend, both Gao Xiaodong and Scholes only gave Neville two comforting passes, and most of the time they do not pass to the right, so Stoke City's defense on their left side is also relatively loose.

Just now, Nani and Gao Xiaodong attracted the attention of Stoke City, and no one noticed Neville's plugging in.

Gao Xiaodong suddenly passed the ball over, and the Stoke City left-back realized that he had missed someone, and hurriedly chased after him in the penalty area.

Gary. Neville was so excited that he was about to cross the ball to his two strikers, but when full-back Collins had already caught up from behind, he bumped Neville with his shoulder and then reached out to poke the ball out of the line.

Neville collapsed in the box and angrily raised his hand for a penalty that he thought was a penalty beyond doubt.

But referee Marinel didn't think it was a penalty and beckoned Neville to stand up.

Neville was furious, he got up from the ground and yelled at Marinell, "He hit me first!

It was the United big man and Marinel had to explain to Neville, "The charge was justified and Collins had a chance to get the ball. ”

Neville was even more angry, and chased after Marinel, "But he hit it first! Can't you see?"

Marinel was a little annoyed, "Gary, please respect my decision!"

Neville didn't show weakness either, "Marinel, please respect an old man who has played 600 games. ”

Marinell couldn't stand Neville's chatter and pulled out a yellow card and flashed it at Neville.

Scholes, Fletcher and others also thought it was a penalty, but he was a little worried about Neville chasing the referee, but before he could pass, the referee had already pulled out Neville's card.

Ferguson on the sidelines looked displeased, if it weren't for Neville's 600th anniversary today, he would not have sent Neville to start, but he didn't expect Neville to be so impulsive and get a yellow card.

Insider's age and physical strength, after he received a yellow card, will definitely be a key target for Stoke City, Ferguson is a little worried that he will become a time bomb in the Manchester United backline, but he can't replace him now, can only be full of anxiety to end the first half soon, or to be able to score first.

Manchester United sent a corner kick, this time it was still Scholes who took the penalty, Gao Xiaodong stood not far from the top of the arc of the penalty area, and it was still Etherington who was staring at Gao Xiaodong.

Scholes assisted, Gao Xiaodong ran forward again, and Etherington hurried to follow, but he kept an eye and was ready to run in the opposite direction.

Gao Xiaodong ran a step, suddenly stopped, Etherington said in his heart, what a special thing to do again, Lao Tzu was not fooled, he quickly stopped and turned around, ready to run to the other side.

But after Gao Xiaodong stopped suddenly, he immediately got up sharply and ran to the front point quickly.

Etherington was shaken hard and fell to the ground.

Manchester United fans in the stands couldn't help but laugh when they saw Gao Xiao Dongkong running and shaking Etherington.

This time Scholes passed the front point!

Gao Xiaodong hit quickly, the header rubbed back, and the ball flew to the back point.

This time, it was not Nani who grabbed the point at the back post, it was Nemanja Vidic.

Although Stoke City's players were ready to defend the back post, but it was fullback Collins who defended the back point, and he couldn't compete for Vidic, and the ball was ferried back to the penalty area by Vidic again to find Berbatov, a core member of the Continental Gang.

At this point, the goalkeeper had run to the far corner, leaving Berbatov with most of the goal, but after two passes, Berbatov had his back to the goal.

However, this was not difficult for the dashing brother, and Berbatov jumped high, ready to hook the golden hook upside down and hook the ball into the goal.

But Stoke City's defenders are not vegetarians either, Faye secretly reached out and pulled Berbatov down, Berbatov designed it just right, and was dragged by Faye, and the ball flew past on tiptoe.

After the ball was missed by Berbatov, it flew right in front of Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong didn't expect that after he rubbed the ball over, the ball would be able to fly back again.

Of course, Gao Xiaodong will not miss such a big gift, this ball is just right for his height, Gao Xiaodong easily headed a little, and the ball flew into the net against the goalpost.

1:0

After scoring the goal, Gao Xiaodong excitedly lifted his jersey, revealing the five Chinese characters "dedicated to his friends" written on it, and ran to the stands like a wind.

Gao Xiaodong had repeatedly missed the goal before, and hit two goalposts, this time the corner kick, no one thought that Gao Xiaodong would score, no one could have imagined that by mistake, Gao Xiaodong actually picked up a leak.

Ferguson and the coaching staff rushed out of the coach's seat to celebrate, the old man raised his hands high, his excited rosacea turned redder, chewing gum also spit out, and his mouth shouted, "Good!

Stoke City manager Pulis smiled wryly, Made, a corner kick tactics are so complicated, just to beat us Stoke City, as for you?

On-site narrator Andy. Gray applauded and sighed, "Football is amazing, Xiao Donggao didn't score such a subtle shot before, this time a header without difficulty actually scored! But we want to congratulate Xiao Donggao on scoring a goal on his birthday! At the age of 20, he led Inter Milan to the treble, and at the age of 21, he became the heart and thigh of Manchester United, an achievement that only Da Luo, Pele and Messi can compare." ”

Huaguo commentator He Hui almost jumped up with excitement, he shouted at the fans in front of the TV: "Xiao Dong has finally scored! Scoring on his own birthday, this is the best gift he can give to the fans! If he can win the final victory, this birthday will be even more perfect! We saw the words written in Xiao Dong's jersey, dedicated to the little friend, who is this little friend?"

After cheering and celebrating, the fans are also speculating:

"Is this buddy a group or a group?"

"What's this little guy's name?"

"Is this little friend a man or a woman?"

"Is there a typo? Is it a sexual partner?"

“……”

Of course, at this time, only Zhu Daqiang, Sun Haitao and others, who were sitting in front of the TV and computer watching the live broadcast, knew that this goal was dedicated to them. The poor and lowly friends do not forget each other, and they are all proud and proud to have a friend like Gao Xiaodong.
