Chapter 358: To Attack or Not to Attack?
The European media is mainly discussing the red and blue battle between Liverpool and Chelsea, the hegemony duel between Bayern and Barcelona, and there is not much discussion about the battle between Manchester United and Porto, most of which are British media and Portuguese media.

The focus of discussion in the British media and Portuguese media is mostly focused on the world footballer Ronaldo, the great football godfather Ferguson, the English genius Rooney, and the new star of Porto Gao Xiaodong.
Giggs and Scholes are old, the media is reluctant to hype them, and Falcao and Berbatov are not enough in weight and status.
As for the other players in the two teams, although they are also at the star level in small clubs, in such a level of competition, the light of Ferguson, Ronaldo, Rooney and others has overshadowed everything, and even stars like Berbatov are difficult to get the opportunity to appear, and role players are rarely mentioned.
But in Asia, the biggest hot topic of media and fans is not Ronaldo, Rooney, or even the red and blue battle and Barcelona against Bayern, but the battle between Park Ji-sung and Gao Xiaodong in Asia.
The South Korean media affectionately called this game the Asian Derby, Hanwha confrontation, thinking that Gao Xiaodong can barely be counted among the top three in Asia now, second only to Park Ji-sung and Lee Qinglong, but this time Porto can reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Gao Xiaodong's strength and fame should be able to be tied with Li Qinglong.
The "Chosun Ilbo" reporter hopes that Park Ji-sung will cheer up in this game and help Manchester United beat Porto, otherwise with Gao Xiaodong's current upward momentum, if Porto is upset, Gao Xiaodong may affect Park Ji-sung's status as the first brother in Asia.
The Chinese media did not recognize Park Ji-sung's status as the first brother in Asia, and the Chinese media said that although Park Ji-sung won the Champions League and the Premier League with Manchester United, he was just a small role, and he could not be compared with Gao Xiaodong, who led Lexus to win the Portuguese Super League championship and led Porto to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
"Sports Weekly" believes that although Gao Xiaodong is only 19 years old, he is definitely a well-deserved Asian brother, and Park Ji-sung can still compare with each other at most, and in a year or two, Gao Xiaodong will definitely throw Park Ji-sung to the Pacific Ocean.
On the Internet, Korean fans and Chinese fans even started a war of words for Gao Xiaodong and Park Ji-sung.
"Park Ji-sung is a fart, holding Manchester United's thighs and mixing up the Champions League and league champions!"
"Xiao Dong is the real thigh of Porto and Lexos. β
"Gao Xiaodong is just the main force of a second-rate team, and he won the championship of a second-rate league, can he compare with Park Ji-sung?"
"Cats and dogs are all compared to Park Ji-sung, and they are also the first brother in Asia?
"Look at Park Ji-sung's achievements in the past few years, and wait a few years to blow your fat new star, right?"
"In a few years, Huaguo players like to change their age, maybe that fat man is now twenty-five or sixteen. β
"Maybe Park Ji-sung didn't retire, and Gao Xiaodong retired first. β
"In this game, Manchester United 5:0, Park Ji-sung tortured Gao Xiaodong to death. β
"If Park Ji-sung dares to confront Gao Xiaodong, Xiaodong will definitely blow up Park Ji-sung!"
"Xiao Dong is only 19 years old, and his achievements are no worse than 28-year-old Park Ji-sung. β
"Now Xiaodong has to compete with Ronaldo, Park Ji-sung should be cool and cool, he is not qualified. β
"Gao Xiaodong is now worth 50 million euros, how much is Park Zhixing worth? 5,000 yuan?"
β¦β¦
The media and fans in South Korea and China quarreled too fiercely, and fans of online dating also appeared.
Obviously, Ko Xiaodong and Park Ji-sung were also affected, and both Chinese and South Korean reporters interviewed two of the biggest figures in Asian football.
Park Ji-sung said in an interview with South Korean reporters, "Gao Xiaodong is a rising star, very strong, Gao Xiaodong and I are not in the same position, it is difficult to say who is strong and who is weak in football, it is not easy to compare, but Manchester United must be stronger than Porto, and we will definitely win this game." β
When Gao Xiaodong was interviewed by the Chinese media, he fully showed his funny character, "Asian derby? Park Ji-sung has become the first brother of Manchester United, why don't I know? I thought Ronaldo was, okay, whether he is the first brother in Asia or Park Sanlung, or under any guise, it has nothing to do with me, just let him be his Asian boss, few people in Europe remember this." OK, that's all. β
When Gao Xiaodong said this, he had already come to Manchester, England.
In the UK's second most prosperous city with a population of 500,000, Gao Xiaodong met a huge crowd of fans from all over the world, from Africa, the Americas, Asia, and many South Korean and Chinese fans, all of whom came to watch Manchester United play.
In this football city, Gao Xiaodong deeply felt for the first time the influence and appeal of a giant of Manchester United's level in the world, which is completely incomparable to the Portuguese giant Porto.
What Gao Xiaodong didn't expect was that in addition to Chinese fans, he also had British fans, and when he got off the plane at Manchester Airport, hundreds of Chinese fans picked him up, and dozens of British fans were mixed in between.
After staying in the hotel, Ferreira gave the players a team meeting, the theme of which was the two days in Manchester, not to go out too late, not to clash with the English fans, England football hooligans like to make trouble, if something happens, it is not good.
Later, Ferreira left Gao Xiaodong alone and told Gao Xiaodong the latest information he had obtained, and Manchester United might play a trick and let Park Ji-sung keep an eye on him.
Gao Xiaodong said in surprise: "Park Zhixing plays on the left side, how can he keep an eye on me, coach, where did you get the news, is it reliable or not?"
Ferreira said: "It should be reliable, judging from the last two seasons, as long as Manchester United encounters strong teams and tough battles, Ferguson will send Park Ji-sung on the field." Use this chess to exchange one of the opponent's threats, in the two legs of the Champions League semifinals against Barcelona last season, Manchester United used Park Ji-sung to play left midfield to help control Messi, this season against Inter Milan, Brazil's right wingback McCone Nerazzurri almost supported the attack of the right half of the fan, many threatening balls were caused by him dribbling the ball or cutting inside, Park Ji-sung came on the field to exchange with him, counteracting McCann's attack, although you are nominally a forward midfielder, but your position is very free, Ferguson can definitely see this, it is very likely to use Park Ji-sung to offset you, no matter what, you are a little mentally preparedγ β
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Okay, anyway, no matter who is against me, I will be impressed by him." β
"Be careful not to eat a card, you've already got a yellow card. β
Ferreira instructed Gao Xiaodong, and couldn't help but sweat for Park Ji-sung in his heart, he really had to have a little psychological tolerance to deal with this kid, he was not lightly pitted by this fat man last season.
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Well, I know." In fact, you should tell your opponent to be careful. β
"Well, you still have to be careful, go back and rest. β
"Good coach. β
Gao Xiaodong left, Ferreira stood in front of the window of the hotel, staring at the magnificent European Dream Theater Old Trafford in the distance, and remembered what da Costa told him before leaving: "Mourinho told Mendes that Manchester United is likely to let Park Ji-sung mark Gao Xiaodong in this game, if he takes Porto, he will attack away from home, Ferguson will definitely not think that Porto dare to attack away from home?"
"Am I going to attack or not?"
Ferreira, the steady and cautious old coach, fell into deep thought.
