Manchester City lost. In this derby, they lost to Manchester United by one goal again, and were beaten by their city rivals this season.

After the game, the Manchester City players were frustrated, there was definitely no hope of winning the title, they were desperate to win this derby, but the reality was cruel, the quality was not enough, and this humble wish could not be realized.

The only person in the Manchester City squad who is not frustrated is probably Balotelli.

After the game, Ba Shen found Gao Xiaodong with a smile on his face, pulled Gao Xiaodong to talk non-stop, and finally exchanged jerseys with Gao Xiaodong.

After losing two consecutive derbies by the smallest score, Manchester City coach Mancini was very aggrieved and unconvinced, and in the post-match press conference, Mancini directly called Ferguson and see you next season.

Ferguson ignored Mancini's provocation, as if he disdained it, but in fact, Ferguson did not dare to underestimate Manchester City at all.

Now Manchester City has a strong strength, if they can get the Champions League this season, the summer transfer is expected to buy more powerful and famous stars, and next season, Manchester City's strength will only be stronger than now.

At that time, Manchester City was probably no longer a "noisy neighbor", but a rival for the league title.

The biggest winner of this match is undoubtedly Gao Xiaodong, who has just won the Golden Ball.

Although Gao Xiaodong unexpectedly won the Ballon d'Or, his award was also seriously questioned by the European media, celebrities and fans, who all believed that Xavi and Iniesta were more worthy of the Ballon d'Or than Gao Xiaodong.

So much so that when Gao Xiaodong went to play away games, there were often visiting fans shouting that Gao Xiaodong had stolen Harvey's golden ball.

However, Gao Xiaodong was not affected by the doubters, and in the five games after the Golden Ball Award, Gao Xiaodong scored every game, and this derby also scored a hat trick.

Obviously, if Gao Xiaodong's highlight performance can continue until the end of the season and lead Manchester United to win one or two heavyweight championships, although this kind of doubt cannot be said to disappear, it will at least be greatly reduced.

After the game, Manchester United's young club Joel hosted a banquet for all the players and coaches of Manchester United, and during the banquet, Joel respected Gao Xiaodong very much and treated him as the team's top name.

Previously, Manchester United's top card was Rooney, but Rooney and Gao Xiaodong had a good relationship, and Gao Xiaodong won the Ballon d'Or for his performance at Inter Milan, Rooney was not jealous of Gao Xiaodong because of this.

On the contrary, Berbatov, Fletcher and others felt that Joel had raised Gao Xiaodong too high, although Gao Xiaodong was very strong and won the Golden Ball, but he did not win any honors in Manchester United, how could he climb to the head of the veteran players who won more than a dozen championships in Manchester United.

But Joel didn't care about that, and the young club was ready to take over after his father's death from the beginning, so he frequently came to the UK to make contact with Manchester United's players, coaches and staff.

Although Gao Xiaodong is not very old and has not won any honor for Manchester United, Joel believes that Gao Xiaodong is the key player for Manchester United to dominate the Premier League and even Europe, so he deliberately befriended Gao Xiaodong, and after the banquet, Joel also asked the driver to drive Gao Xiaodong home in person.

"Are you satisfied with living in Manchester?"

Joel came to see Gao Xiaodong in person, just to communicate with Gao Xiaodong and deepen his feelings.

Gao Xiaodong smiled: "Satisfied, very satisfied." ”

Joel smiled: "It's good to be satisfied, if there is anything inconvenient or needed, just tell David Gill, or tell me, I will do my best to help you do it." ”

Gao Xiaodong smiled: "No, Mr. Joel, after I moved to Cheshire, most of the people around me are our Manchester United players, and life is very convenient."

Joel said: "Gao, there is one thing I don't understand, and I have always asked you, Inter Milan is also a top European giant, and it is also very good to you, why did you want to transfer to Manchester United?"

Gao Xiaodong has answered this question no less than 20 times, and Gao Xiaodong is experienced in how to answer this question.

"Mr. Joel doesn't know, I've been a Manchester United fan since I was a kid, my first shirt was Manchester United's, I haven't missed almost every Manchester United game, playing for Manchester United was my childhood dream, although Inter Milan is also a great team, I've won the treble at Inter Milan and I feel like I should play for my dream. ”

Joel was very satisfied with what he heard, although he believed that Gao Xiaodong's transfer to Manchester United would definitely not be just because of what Gao Xiaodong said, but this statement at least shows that Gao Xiaodong likes Manchester United, not the legendary Ferguson.

Joel laughed and said: "Actually, when I was a child, I had a dream to become a professional footballer and play for Manchester United, but then this dream was shattered, because I knew that I would never be a professional player in my life, and I fantasized that I would one day become the owner of Manchester United and make Manchester United the greatest team in the world." ”

Gao Xiaodong smiled: "Congratulations to Mr. Joel, you have finally realized your dream." ”

Joel laughed and said: "I can't say that my dream has come true, now Manchester United is my father's, not mine." ”

Gao Xiaodong smiled: "That's not the same. ”

Joel sighed: "It's different, although I am a young club of Manchester United, there are very few things I can call the shots now, I am just my father's mouthpiece. ”

Gao Xiaodong knew that Joel's father, the elder Glazer, had a stroke and was unable to move, so he comforted: "Mr. Joel don't worry, after your father is a hundred years old, Manchester United will be yours, and you will be able to realize your grand dream at that time." ”

Joel smiled bitterly and said in his heart, how can it be so easy, there are so many people in our family, and there are people who want to take charge of Manchester United, even my little brother Edward wants Manchester United.

However, Joel couldn't talk to Gao Xiaodong about these giants' grievances, so he said: "Thank you for your blessings, but if Manchester United wants to become the greatest team in world football, you are an indispensable member, if I take the helm of Manchester United, I hope you can play at Manchester United until you retire." ”

Playing at Manchester United until I retire? I can't do this, I still want to play in the big five leagues. Gao Xiaodong thought so in his heart, but said: "Thank you Mr. Joel for your appreciation and respect, but I still have self-knowledge, a giant like Manchester United, it is too difficult to play until retirement, you must be able to maintain the level of the world's top players after the age of thirty, but since Mr. Joel values me so much, I must win all the championships that Manchester United can win." ”

Joel was very happy, "Well, I'm sure you will be able to do what you say, with you, my confidence in Manchester United is enough. ”

While talking, Cheshire arrived, the driver stopped in front of Gao Xiaodong's house, Gao Xiaodong invited Joel's house to sit down, but Joel felt that it was too late, and he had already said what he should have said, so he didn't go, said goodbye to Gao Xiaodong, and drove away from Cheshire.
