Chapter 742: Bloodbath Promotion Horse
It was Gao Xiaodong who scored the goal!
When Scholes passed, he was still in his own half, Berbatov and the defender stuck for a while, Gao Xiaodong ran to the 30-meter area of the Magpie Army, saw that Berbatov's pass was not completely successful, the ball was a little far away from Berbatov, Gao Xiaodong was worried about being cleared by the opponent, he rushed over and shot without hesitation.
3:0, the overall situation has been decided, after the goal, Gao Xiaodong took off his jersey, waved it and ran to the stands, jumped over the billboard, held the No. 10 jersey high with both hands, and accepted the cheers of the fans.
Showing his shirt in front of the fans on his first league appearance is something that no one has dared to do in United's 100-year history.
Whether it is the merry Best, the domineering Cantona, or the fierce Keane, the arrogant Ronaldo has never done this.
Manchester United fans were stunned by Gao Xiaodong's domineering, and they were almost speechless in an instant, but on the field, this kind of domineering and confident action was easy to stir people's hearts, and immediately applause and cheers became more enthusiastic.
The fans who watched the live broadcast on the Internet were also very shocked, and Gao Xiaodong's fans praised and ridiculed Gao Xiaodong on the forum, Twitter, and Weibo:
"it!
"Is the king really coming?!"
"Is this the creation of a No. 10 legend?"
"Wait for a hat-trick to be scored before showing the jersey!"
"God! I'll give you full marks for this pretend!"
"No. 10 should be worn on Gao Xiaodong! With this momentum, Lu Xiongxin can't do it!"
"Manchester United's No.10 is going to suppress No.7!"
……
Manchester United's bench and coach's bench were applauding and cheering, and they were all stunned when they saw Gao Xiaodong drying his jersey in front of more than 70,000 fans.
Neville wanted to laugh, but couldn't, so he could only laugh dryly, "This kid learns a lot like Cantona." ”
Fletcher regarded Gao Xiaodong as a competitor, and when he saw Gao Xiaodong's clothes forcing him to attract fans, he frowned and said, "He will never be able to become Cantona." ”
Rooney smiled: "How can Gao become Cantona, Gao makes people want to laugh, Cantona makes people scared." ”
Giggs laughed, "Gao is a tease." ”
I don't like Gao Xiaodong not only Fletcher, the dashing brother Berbatov originally didn't like Gao Xiaodong's unscrupulous style of play for victory, the two fullbacks in this game did not give him the pass of the real center, but kept passing the ball to Gao Xiaodong, the defender, which made Berbatov very unhappy, seeing Gao Xiaodong snatching his ball and shooting, and pretending to be forced when he entered, Berbatov was even more unhappy, he walked back with a gloomy face, and he didn't even applaud.
Gao Xiaodong's celebration this time was too high-profile, everyone's attention was on Gao Xiaodong's body, and no one noticed Berbatov's abnormality.
After Manchester United celebrated, the game resumed, and Newcastle, who were already three goals behind, had no idea of anything but to save a little face.
However, it is too difficult for the promoted horse to save face at Old Trafford, Newcastle strengthened the attack and running, to see if they could take advantage of Manchester United's relaxed mentality to play one, but Newcastle attacked for ten minutes, not only did not pull one back, but was used by Manchester United to counterattack to play another one.
It was Hernandez who scored, it was Ginger Head Scholes who passed the ball, and it was Gao Xiaodong who broke the ball.
The score became 4:0, the first two forwards all scored, and the central midfielder Gao Xiaodong also played well in addition to scoring goals, and Ferguson decided to change to the bench to find a feeling and adapt to the atmosphere of the game.
In the 65th minute of the game, Owen and Fletcher came on the field and replaced Berbatov and Scholes, Gao Xiaodong continued to stay on the field and run in with his teammates, but after Fletcher, who was good at defense, came on the field, Gao Xiaodong took over Scholes's organization and scheduling tasks and became the planner of the midfield.
Although Gao Xiaodong hoped to score another goal and score a hat trick, since Ferguson asked him to organize the dispatch, he did not dare to ignore the coach's orders for his own selfishness, so he spent more energy on organizing passes.
Although Fletcher doesn't like Gao Xiaodong, he plays football very well, and Ferguson tells him to defend and he defends, and does not rob Gao Xiaodong of his work.
Owen had mixed feelings when he came on, not only because he had to face Newcastle after four years, but also because he was forcibly snatched away from his No. 7 shirt.
After Gao Xiaodong came to Manchester United, although he grabbed Rooney's jersey, Rooney got the more precious No. 7 in Manchester United, so the only victim was Owen, who is now wearing the No. 12 shirt.
But Owen can't help it, he is the hero of Manchester United's sworn rival Liverpool, he defected to the enemy after he was down, he was not supported by Manchester United fans, he was old, and his commercial value could not be compared with Rooney Gao Xiaodong.
Owen was a bit aggrieved at Manchester United, but the more he did, the more he wanted to prove his ability, so after coming on the pitch, Owen ran aggressively and didn't care that it was just garbage time.
Gao Xiaodong still feels a little ashamed of Owen, after all, Owen is also a talented player who has won the Golden Ball, and now he has fallen to this point, Gao Xiaodong also has some sympathy, and feels that he should create a goal opportunity for Owen to let him puff up his chest in front of his old club, even if Owen wants to transfer, he can get a better contract with a good performance.
In the 72nd minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong took the ball in the middle, and the two players came up to wrap it closely, Gao Xiaodong staggered out of the defense with his strong body and strength, and looked as if he was about to fall to the ground, but Gao Xiaodong held the ground with his hand and swept the arch of his foot, and the ball penetrated Newcastle's defense and gave Owen a straight stopper.
Although most people thought that Gao Xiaodong couldn't pass it, Owen kept running sideways to see if there was a chance.
The opportunity has finally arrived!
Owen immediately went from a sideways run to a straight thrust, desperately chasing the ball.
Goalkeeper Harper made a bold attack and rushed out of the box to grab the ball.
If it was Owen during the Red Army, such a ball would be nine out of ten, but the 31-year-old Owen could only play with experience, he missed a step and did not touch the ball, the ball was tackled by goalkeeper Harper, and Owen was also knocked to the ground by Harper.
"Alas, Golden Boy Owen is so old. ”
"If only Rooney had scored it. ”
"If this ball had been Owen back then, he wouldn't have run. ”
'Owen shouldn't have come to Manchester United. ”
"It's just that the jerseys have been snatched away, which is self-inflicted. ”
……
Sighs, laughter and chattering from the stands rang out.
Martin, the on-site commentator, also shook his head repeatedly, "No one would have thought that the young man who chased the wind back then would fall to this point, the hero who was sympathized with was not as good as the hero who was hated, Owen must be very painful in his heart at this moment, but after coming out of Newcastle, Owen really shouldn't choose Manchester United." ”
Although Gao Xiaodong's pass was wasted by Owen, Gao Xiaodong did not give up, in the 80th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong pulled the edge and played with Valencia, Valencia crossed to Gao Xiaodong, and he quickly went down.
Gao Xiaodong gave Valencia a ball, and he quickly cut diagonally into the penalty area to respond.
Valencia bocce ball was passed to Gao Xiaodong again, Gao Xiaodong saw that the defenders were coming to him, and it seemed that he didn't want him to score again.
Gao Xiaodong was not in a hurry, he stepped on the ball, attracting the defender closer, and then knocked his heel, the ball seemed to have eyes, and it was passed in front of Owen who was inserted forward.
Gao Xiaodong attracted two defenders and the goalkeeper, and the front of the goal was basically empty, and Owen gently pushed the ball into the goal with a light push of his arch.
5:0
Owen only scored 3 goals last season, and now he scored 1 in the first round, and he still scored in front of his old club, how could Owen not be excited, he ran a few steps, jumped up and shook his fist and roared.
Although the United fans did not want to see Owen, Owen was so positive when he came on the field, they all stood up and applauded Owen.
Although the players and fans of Newcastle were unhappy with Owen's celebration, they all knew that Owen had been suppressed for too long, and they used the opportunity of this goal to vent.
The spirit of a veteran who is injured and slipped, but who does not succumb to fate and comes to the giants to challenge himself, is also admirable, so Newcastle's players and fans did not boo Owen either.
Owen's goal shattered Newcastle's hopes of saving face, and they found out that if they continued to attack, they could be worse than West Brom, and continued to defend and counter-attack.
Manchester United did not have much desire to attack after scoring 5 goals, and in the end, they got a good start to the new season with the goals of Gao Xiaodong, Berbatov, Hernandez, and Owen 5:0 at home to the promoted Newcastle.
