After the Manchester derby, almost all eyes were on the Champions League knockout rounds, with few noticing that there was a fifth-round FA Cup tie before Inter Milan.

The lack of attention is mainly due to the fact that Crawley, Manchester United's opponent in this round, is too weak.

Crawley are a team from the fifth tier of England who currently sit second in the league and are just three points off the top of the table, coincidentally nicknamed the Red Devils.

As a town of just 100,000 people, the Crawleys have been in excellent form in the FA Cup this season, starting in the first round and progressing to the fifth round in a row, knocking out the big names Derby County in the process.

Immediately after the draw, the British best-selling media "The Sun" paid a lot of money to buy Crowley's chest advertisement, and a world-famous sports brand became Crowley's shirt sponsor for this game.

In addition to the sponsorship proceeds, Crowley also received 4,000 tickets to Old Trafford, which was shared by the television broadcast for an unprecedented price due to Manchester United's connections.

For Crowley, winning the draw was like hitting the jackpot. Because if they want to run into Manchester United again, they don't know how many years they will have to wait. For this reason, the Crowley Club has added a special text to the place of their team emblem to commemorate the game.

Manchester United's first-team players are all focused on the Champions League knockout rounds, but for Manchester United's youth players, the Champions League knockout rounds are too high-end for them to hope for, and an FA Cup game is the stage for them to perform.

Although there are very few people on this stage, it is also the most important game outside of the Champions League and the Premier League, and if there is an excellent performance, the coach will definitely look at it, and if there is often a good performance, there is even hope to be promoted to the first team and embark on the road to prosperity.

On the night before the FA Cup match, Gao Xiaodong had just returned home from training when Pogba and Bebe arrived.

Tomorrow's FA Cup game, Pogba and Bebe both entered the starting lineup, Pogba is strong enough, with the help of Gao Xiaodong, after getting the opportunity to play, the last game also beat Southampton, this game into the starting line-up is deserved, and Bebe's starting is a little complicated.

Bebe came to Manchester United purely as a bundle, and was questioned at the beginning of the transfer, and after the start of the season, even in the FA Cup and League Cup, he was unable to convince himself, and this time he was able to enter the starting line-up mainly because Ferguson wanted to prove that he did not buy the wrong man.

Pogba and Beibei came to Gao Xiaodong to learn from him, Gao Xiaodong became the main force step by step from the substitute, and slowly became the main force of the giants from the small team in Portugal, and then to the core of the giants, Gao Xiaodong has more experience than others in how to grasp the opportunity to take the upper position.

Although Bei Bei is now the younger brother of the Portuguese Gang, he is Mendes's person, whether he can get on the throne, Gao Xiaodong doesn't care, but after Pogba signed with Xinglong Agency, even if he is Gao Xiaodong's person, he carries the hope of Xinglong Brokerage Company to gain a foothold in Europe, and Gao Xiaodong will definitely teach him.

'Do your job first, and as a striker, you have to score goals. As a midfielder, look at the positioning given to you by the coach, the coach tells you to defend, you do a good job of defense first, the coach tells you to attack, you assist or score, you do the work you should do well, the coach will recognize you, do the work that should be done, the next step, you can try to do something brilliant, such as Paul, the last round of Southampton was widely praised, this is not just because you scored the winning goal, the main thing is that you played well in the midfield, if you play poorly in the midfield, just score a goal, the boss will not necessarily give you a chance。 ”

After the careful guidance of Mourinho and Ferguson, Gao Xiaodong has a much deeper understanding of football than ordinary players, and it is no problem to guide two young players who have not entered the first team.

Don't look at Gao Xiaodong's age is only three years older than Pogba, but he is now Pogba's idol, and in Pogba's heart, Gao Xiaodong is almost omnipotent.

After listening to Gao Xiaodong's words, Pogba was deeply touched and said, "Brother Gao, can you show your personal skills?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "It's okay to pretend, but you have to ensure success or safety, otherwise, it will not only be a shameful problem, the coach may think that you are flashy and useless." In short, I'm not in favor of showmanship. ”

Bei Bei said: "I understand, Brother Gao means stability. ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "It's not that you don't show off your skills at any time, showing off your skills is also a plus, it's just that you have to show off your skills in absolute safety, such as leading by a big score, or qualifying in advance." “

Pogba took a look at him and said, "Brother Gao, some players want to be excellent in their skills, why does the manager always dislike him?"

Gao Xiaodong blinked and said with a smile: "Is there such a situation?"

Pogba said: "Of course there is, I've heard a lot. ”

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Yes, how to say this situation, every coach has different preferences, if your playing style is in line with the coach's preferences, the coach will of course like you." ”

Bei Bei said: "Brother Gao, let's give me an example, such as our boss." ”

Gao Xiaodong smiled: "Are you trying to trick me? If the boss knew that I was talking about him behind my back, he wouldn't give me small shoes to wear." ”

Bei Bei hurriedly flattered: "You are Manchester United's Dinghai Shen Needle, how can the BOSS give you small shoes to wear." ”

Pogba also said: "Brother Gao, you are now an indispensable person for Manchester United, and the BOSS is very fond of you." ”

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Don't say that, Beckham and Vanney were not driven away by the BOSS, and I don't have as high a status as them in Manchester United now." ”

Pogba said: "Brother Gao, just tell us, we are not like you, we have the opportunity to perform in front of the BOSS every day, we only have a few cup games in a season, and if we don't perform well, we will leave a bad impression on the BOSS." ”

Gao Xiaodong actually wanted to knock Pogba all the time, because Pogba kicked the ball a little sticky, just deliberately teased them, listening to Pogba say this, he said seriously: "Actually, this is nothing, our lord likes the player who is brave and diligent, the style of play is concise and practical, and he doesn't like the player who sticks to the ball and plays tricks, do you see that you have a problem with sticking to the ball? If you have it, change it quickly, otherwise, you will never want to enter the first team." ”

Bei Bei and Pogba fell into deep thought after listening to Gao Xiaodong's words, especially Pogba, his skills are good, his body is strong, he is the core of the midfield in the youth team, he has a lot of balls, and the ball is indeed a little sticky, and he is not decisive enough to deal with it, Gao Xiaodong said this, Pogba woke up in horror, and felt that Gao Ge might be beating himself, although he played well in the last game, but this time he couldn't be careless about Crowley at the fifth level, and he had to play hard.

After teaching some experience to the two younger brothers, Gao Xiaodong encouraged them again, and said that he would also go to watch tomorrow's game, hoping that they could have an excellent performance and enter the first team of Manchester United as soon as possible.

Although Gao Xiaodong is not very old, he is Mr. Golden Ball, the core and captain of Manchester United, and it is definitely a big opportunity to get his personal guidance and help.
