Even though the score was only 1-0, Ferguson was very satisfied with the performance of the players in the first half, and he stood at the door of the dressing room with a red face waiting for the arrival of the players.

Every player who entered the locker room was encouraged and appreciated by Ferguson, even Carrick, when Gao Xiaodong arrived, Ferguson not only gave him a hug, but also walked into the locker room with Gao Xiaodong's shoulder.

Seeing Ferguson walking into the locker room with Gao Xiaodong's shoulder, Manchester United's players were stunned, although Ferguson is very good to the players, but he is actually a strict father-type coach, the players respect and fear him, such as holding the shoulders of the players, Ferguson really hasn't done it to anyone.

And Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Evra and other old people faintly feel that things are not so simple, maybe Ferguson is through this behavior to let the players recognize Gao Xiaodong's status in the team, otherwise it is difficult to convince the public in a giant like Manchester United at Gao Xiaodong's age.

Carrick and Fletcher were a little unimpressed, feeling that Gao Xiaodong had just arrived and had not brought any honor to Manchester United, and Ferguson had doted on him a little too much.

Park Ji-sung and Anderson saw it in their eyes, and felt that they had hugged the right thigh, Ferguson loved Gao Xiaodong so much, and he would definitely be the core and captain of Manchester United in the future.

And young players such as Little Pea, Rafael, Macheda, etc., who did not stand in the team, also saw the reality clearly through Ferguson's attitude, Gao Xiaodong has replaced Rooney as the number one celebrity in the heart of coach Ferguson, and the future 92 class boss will retire, Gao Xiaodong will definitely be the core boss, and he will definitely have a good knot in the future.

Entering the dressing room, Ferguson first praised Gao Xiaodong, "The first half should have been a draw, but the high goal changed everything, Valencia's away game is very difficult to play, otherwise we would not have never won in Mestalla, it is very important for us to be able to take the lead in the first half, in the second half we have to continue the tactics of the first half, fight in the midfield, counterattack quickly, score when we have a chance, and keep the score of 1:0 if we don't have a chance." ”

Although Ferguson praised Gao Xiaodong alone, the Manchester United players had nothing to say, Gao Xiaodong's free kick was amazing, and it completely changed the situation with his personal ability.

The players then relaxed, and Ferguson spoke to Carrick and other players alone to talk about the problems that arose in the first half to prevent them from making mistakes again in the second half.

The 15-minute half-time break passed quickly, and the players from both sides returned to the pitch for the second half.

United continued their tactical play after the first-half goal, counter-attacking and waiting to catch a mistake in Valencia's attack.

Valencia obviously cannot continue with the same tactics as in the first half, no matter what the final score is, whether Valencia is an attacking team or not, a 0-1 score is unacceptable for Valencia and they must try to solve the problem of attack.

Unai Emery replaced striker Domingos and replaced striker Aduris, and paired Soldado with a helper to share the defensive pressure of Soldado and try to equalise.

With two strikers up front, Valencia gave up penetration in the middle and strengthened the break on both flanks.

Juan Mata and Pablo were excellent individually, with the two of them focusing on attacking from the flanks, and the pressure on United's two full-backs increased.

Pablo, in particular, used his skillful skills and great speed to constantly single out Evra, and he beat Evra to the embarrassment.

In the 48th minute, Pablo and Albelda in the midfield cooperated, Albelda made a direct pass, Pablo cut back to the right side, and crossed the bottom, but as soon as the ball flew into the small penalty area, Vidic grabbed the landing point, headed a little, and pushed out of the sideline.

Three minutes later, Pablo broke down the right again, and Patrice was clearly lacking in confidence in Pablo's breakthrough, and he stepped back to wait for reinforcements from his team-mates. But Pablo was decisive in his breakthrough this time, and he made a series of sudden and sudden stops in change of direction, using his speed to suddenly force a breakthrough.

Patrice Evra was not as fast as Valencia's Pablo, so he could only turn and chase Pablo to prevent Pablo from passing, but Pablo was fast enough to hit the bottom line and cross to the middle of the box.

Pablo's breakthrough was very fast, not only did Evra not follow, but also the central defenders did not follow, after the ball came in, Ferdinand and Vidic were afraid of the own goal and did not dare to make it easy, so the two of them had to jam the position and not let the outflanked Berbatov grab the landing.

Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic defended well, with Dimitar Berbatov unable to get past the two of them, and could only watch the ball fly out of the box.

Seeing that Evra's defense was struggling, Nani couldn't care about attacking at this time, so he had to retreat to his penalty area to assist Evra in defending.

Nani can bury his head back to help defend, which makes Ferguson very happy, he just saw Evra's defense is struggling, he wanted to let Fletcher help defend in the past, Gao Xiaodong retreated, and now Nani is back, Gao Xiaodong does not need to retreat, Manchester United's counterattack threat will be greater.

After Nani returned to defending, Valencia's attack on the right was blocked, and they immediately played the ball back to the left for Juan Mata to attack Rafael's side.

However, Rafael's defense has been inconsistent, and today Park Ji-sung and Fletcher both paid attention to the protection of his side, and Mata, who is stronger than Pablo, did not take advantage of this side.

After 20 minutes of playing in the second half, Valencia still had no chance to score, and the Valencia fans in the stands were anxious and kept chanting "Get one!"

Unai Emery couldn't stand it anymore and made another substitution, with Bruno Fernandes coming on to replace the underperforming midfielder Costa and continue to strengthen the attack.

With United on the defensive for so long in the second half and barely a decent counter-attack, Valencia lost their guard a bit.

Just when Valencia midfielder Fernandes just came on the field, Manchester United suddenly changed its rhythm and strengthened the pressing of Valencia's ball-handlers.

Gao Xiaodong did not hesitate to grab the ball, turned around and found Manchester United striker Berbatov with a long pass.

This long pass is very skillful, especially the ability to find Berbatov with one kick, which is not inferior to Scholes at all.

Berbatov also handled the ball beautifully, taking advantage of the situation and forcing his way into the box under the pressure of Valencia centre-back Navarro, before his stabbing shot was blocked by goalkeeper Sanchez on the ground.

Manchester United sent a corner kick, Gao Xiaodong walked to the corner area, ready to take the penalty himself.

Carrick didn't go over to ask this time, he already knew that Gao Xiaodong's strength was closely related to the head coach, so he pretended not to see it, and ran away from the front of the penalty area and waited for the ball to be cleared.

Gao Xiaodong glanced at the penalty area, looked at the position and attention of goalkeeper Sanchez, he immediately had a bad idea, reached out and called Anderson and Park Ji-sung, and whispered to them, Anderson and Park Ji-sung nodded again and again, and ran back to the penalty area with a smile on their faces.

The referee's whistle blew, Gao Xiaodong hadn't kicked the ball out yet, and Anderson suddenly ran forward, looking like he was going to grab the front header and rub it back, which is also a classic corner kick tactic.

Goalkeeper Alexis Sanchez was caught up in Anderson's attention and quickly moved towards the near corner.

However, Gao Xiaodong then passed the ball directly to the back point with a kick.

Park Ji-sung quickly hit the back post when Ko Xiaodong came out with his foot, grabbing a header to the back post before the full-back.

It was a beautiful combination, but Park Ji-sung's header was a bit bad, and the ball hit the defender standing by the post.

Seeing that a classic corner kick was not played, Manchester United fans couldn't help but sigh with regret.
