Chapter 970: Gao Xiaodong's father
Mancini's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth.
Pogba's goal shattered what little illusion he had.
Manchester City's title dreams this season were all shattered, and it was the hateful rosacea old guy and the damn Chinese guy in front of them that caused it all.
Although Mancini knew that the defeat was decided, he was still unwilling to yell at the players on the pitch, telling them to seize the time to attack, strive for another goal, and save a little face.
Sitting in the VIP box, Manchester City owner Mansour's face was also very ugly, he invested so much money, it was better to not win the league in a short time, and he couldn't even win the FA Cup, which made Mansoure very disappointed in Mancini.
Fortunately, Manchester City's results in the league are okay, and they are now in fourth place and can participate in the Champions League next season, which is also Mansour's psychological bottom line, if Mancini can't get a Champions League place, he can only let him go.
For Mansour, the Champions League seat is a lifeline, because he could not participate in the Champions League in the first two seasons, Manchester City, which has a huge amount of transfer funds, could not buy big-name stars, which led to the inability to compete with Manchester United and Chelsea for the title this season.
Even Mansour attributed the reason why he didn't grab Gao Xiaodong and Kaka to not getting the Champions League seat, otherwise with the annual salary and signing fee offered by Manchester City, he should have more chances than Manchester United and Real Madrid.
After taking a three-goal lead, the mood of the United players was completely relaxed, even if they played one less man, their fitness dropped, and under the onslaught of Manchester City, United still controlled the tempo of the game with experience, and their passing and getting rid looked like they were a notch above Manchester City.
With a goal in place and a big lead, Pogba showed the potential of a superstar midfielder, who could be a high barrier in front of defenders, protect the ball and dribble.
Gao Xiaodong's physical fitness is now declining, the team's victory is decided, and he doesn't want to buy small pills to restore his physical fitness, so he simply handed over the control of the midfield to Pogba, let Pogba play freely, and he helped "wipe his ass" on the side.
With Gao Xiaodong's encouragement, Pogba began to take the initiative to ask for the ball, was responsible for the organization and scheduling of the midfield, and inserted assists and long-range shots from time to time, completely becoming Gao Xiaodong's temporary stand-in.
Ferguson's eyes were shining from the sidelines, he didn't expect this black boy who was just 18 years old to be so talented, give him a little chance, and he will be brilliant.
Mansour was ready to leave, but after seeing Pogba's performance, Mansour exclaimed to his assistant Simon: "Ah, this is a big big winter, we have to buy him." ”
Simon also exclaimed: "His name is Pogba, Frenchman, he is a good lad indeed, he can completely replace Vieira and Yaya Toure. ”
Mansour said: "Find out who he is, who his agent is, get him as soon as possible, if he gets Ferguson's reuse, it will not be easy." ”
"Okay, I'll call Vieira and ask him if he knows. ”
Simon immediately called Vieira, and after a brief exchange, Simone hung up the phone with a quirky and playful smile on his face.
"What's wrong?" Mansour asked, somewhat surprised.
Simon said: "I just asked Vieira, he didn't know, he asked his agent, and Pogba's agent turned out to be a Chinese. ”
"Ahh
Simon said: "Gao Xiaodong and Pogba's agent are friends, but it is difficult to say what the relationship actually is, because Pogba's agent has a brokerage company. “
Mansour smiled: "Gao Xiaodong helped this black boy like this, gave him an assist, and gave him the ball, I think the relationship between the two is definitely not simple, you can check it again." ”
"Okay, I'll look it up. Simon turned and walked out of the box.
——
On the field, the game has come to an end, Manchester United control the ball, Ferdinand, Vidic, Carrick passed the ball to each other, and when the three were pressing, Carrick passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong, who was further away, instead of Pogba who reached out for the ball next to him.
Although Gao Xiaodong deliberately helped Pogba, Manchester United's players did not recognize this little guy to control the midfield, and Manchester United's players' first choice was still to pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong.
But Gao Xiaodong did not let the ball stay at his feet, and passed directly to Pogba, Pogba can get very little game time, he wants to create opportunities for Pogba as much as possible.
With Gao Xiaodong by his side to escort, Pogba was full of confidence, the ball passed to his feet, he made a forward dribbling action, but suddenly stopped and turned around, shook the Manchester City back Barry who pounced, and then turned around and brought forward.
The team lost by a big score, and he didn't play much, Barry played very annoyed today, seeing that this substitute kid dared to play with himself, he was angry from the heart of the evil to the side of the guts, quickly caught up with Pogba from behind, and tackled Pogba from behind.
Pogba didn't expect Barry to make a behind-tackle, he couldn't dodge it, and was shoveled and fell to the ground on his back, clutching his leg and screaming in pain.
Gao Xiaodong and the Manchester United players arrived as soon as possible, and Gao Xiaodong pushed Barry in the chest, "Bastard, do you want to kill him?"
Barry just got up and was pushed to the ground by Gao Xiaodong's slap.
At this time, the Manchester City players also ran over, Yaya Toure reached over to push Xiaodong, but Ferdinand reached out to pull him.
Referee Quinn saw that the situation was not good and there was a high possibility of a group fight, so he hurriedly ran over and showed Barry a red card first, and then gave Gao Xiaodong a yellow card.
The red and yellow cards were so deterrent that the Manchester United and Manchester City players stopped pushing and shoving, only verbally accusing each other.
At this time, the team doctor and the stretcher entered the field and tried to carry Pogba out, but Pogba had not kicked enough, he actually touched his leg and stood up again.
Seeing that Pogba was unharmed, Manchester City fans stopped doing it and jumped up and scolded Pogba for faking his fall.
Manchester United fans, protecting their players, also rose up and scolded Barry as the executioner.
Manchester United got a free kick opportunity, but the stoppage time had already passed, after Gao Xiaodong drove the ball out, referee Quinn did not continue to stoppage time, and directly blew the whistle for the end of the game.
At the end of the game, Manchester United beat Manchester City 4-1 at Wembley Stadium to reach the FA Cup final.
The Manchester City players lost and lost, and after the whistle blew, they quickly left the pitch without even accepting interviews.
Manchester United's players celebrated in the stadium, some of the players who played well were also interviewed by reporters, and Pogba, who quickly became popular, attracted the attention of reporters, and there were almost as many reporters as Gao Xiaodong interviewed him.
Following Gao Xiaodong's sneakers on the court, in an interview with reporters, Pogba claimed that Gao Xiaodong had given him great help on and off the field, just like his master and father.
So the front page of the media the next day almost all appeared with headlines like this, "Supernova's dad dominates the game", "potential newcomers call Gao Xiaodong a father", "Mr. Golden Globe is a 'father'".
These misleading titles have caused Gao Xiaodong a lot of trouble, because his relatives, friends and fans have asked Gao Xiaodong on the phone, Twitter, QQ and Weibo when he married his son.
Gao Xiaodong was very helpless, so he could only make a statement on his social media, he was still an unmarried boy, what kind of father or something, it was a joke made by teammate Pogba, but Gao Xiaodong's statement did not completely eliminate the rumors, and the rumors that Gao Xiaodong had married and had children outside are still continuous.
