When Gao Xiaodong returned to the locker room, the Manchester United players were opening champagne to celebrate, and when they saw Gao Xiaodong coming in, Rooney picked up the champagne and sprayed it on Gao Xiaodong's body.

Gao Xiaodong couldn't dodge, and half of his body was sprayed wet.

Rooney wanted to spray again, but Gao Xiaodong shrewdly hid behind Ferguson.

Ferguson stretched out his arms to stop Rooney and smiled: "Wayne, don't make trouble." ”

Rooney laughed and put down the champagne and said to Gao Xiaodong: "Gao, you performed so well today, without you, we might lose to Inter again." ”

Giggs also said with a smile: "Everyone should thank Gao for successfully taking revenge on Inter today." ”

Scholes said: "The boss tried his best to buy Gao, and he really bought it right." ”

All the players praised and thanked Gao Xiaodong, and the old man also held Gao Xiaodong's shoulder, and said with palpitations: "Today's Xiaodong's performance is really good, he can be said to have saved everyone, including me, maybe our victory in Meazza was too easy, so that we underestimated Inter Milan before the game, today they taught us a lesson, against any opponent, we can't be careless." ”

Everyone applauded, Gao Xiaodong's performance today is indeed obvious to all, even Fletcher, who doesn't like Gao Xiaodong very much, has to admire.

The old lord said solemnly: "The top 8 are all strong opponents, we must not make another mistake, and the next opponent may not give us a chance to turn the tables." ”

Everyone nodded yes, only Gao Xiaodong smiled secretly, whether there is a chance to turn the tables, the opponent can't be the master, it depends on whether we have special points.

Ferguson continued: "Let's take a shower and go back to rest, tomorrow we will have a half-day off, continue training in the afternoon, Xiaodong, you take a shower and change your clothes, and follow me to the post-match press conference." ”

Ten minutes later, Gao Xiaodong changed into a sportswear and followed Ferguson to the studio hall for the post-match press conference.

Today's Gao Xiaodong's performance is too amazing, it is simply to turn the tide and help the building to fall, when he arrived in the studio hall, the reporters all pointed their cameras at him, and they didn't stop shooting, and some people praised Gao Xiaodong loudly.

Gao Xiaodong was in high spirits, Ferguson was full of red light, the master and apprentice greeted the familiar reporters, and came to the rostrum with their heads held high.

Inter coach Leonardo came a little late, his face is not very good-looking, in the locker room he just quarreled with Sneijder over the loss, many players are also a little dissatisfied with his conservatism at the last moment, fortunately, most people still support him, Moratti also went to the locker room to comfort Leonardo, otherwise Leonardo may give up participating in this press conference.

After Leonardo shook hands with Ferguson and Gao Xiaodong, the press conference officially began, and the two managers summarized the game first.

Leonardo expressed regret for the game, believing that Inter played their level in this game, only five minutes away from qualifying, and it was luck that ultimately decided which side qualified, and Inter Milan could leave Old Trafford with their heads held high.

However, Leonardo still praised Gao Xiaodong alone, "Manchester United has a Golden Ball superstar, and we don't, this is the gap, Xiao Donggao has very good shooting skills, we tried to limit him, I almost succeeded, but in the end he scored a goal, in fact, this is normal, a star who won the Golden Ball Award is impossible to be seen to death in a game, it is a pity to stop in the round of 16 for the defending champion, but if we want to go further in the Champions League, we need to add more powerful players." ”

Ferguson was bold in his review, saying that he did not fully consider the difficulty of the game, so that after Inter Milan took the lead, the team was disagreeable, but the players performed well, carrying forward the Red Devils' spirit of perseverance and never giving up, and finally won the game.

Ferguson also looked ahead to the rest of the season, the old gentleman said that at this time, Manchester United still have a chance to win the title on three lines, which is very happy, and he hopes that the players will grit their teeth and play well in the remaining two months to try to repeat the glory of the 99 treble.

Next is Gao Xiaodong's speech, Gao Xiaodong first praised his old club Inter, "Inter Milan has not performed well in the first half of the season, they have a lot of problems, and they also changed coaches halfway, but Inter Milan in this game is very focused, they played at a high level rarely seen this season, and their performance today is worthy of the defending champion......" and then Gao Xiaodong praised his teammates again," Of course, we did well, we showed a lot of fighting spirit in the opening and the last two times, and we got back the score, and we deserved to qualify for the last eight, unfortunately we and Inter can only have one promotion, good luck to Inter and win the league against AC Milan in the league. ”

The press conference went smoothly, but Leonardo's question angered Leonardo, who asked Leonardo how much responsibility he, the firefighting coach, was responsible for the four major of Inter Milan this season, and whether he would be out of class at the end of the season?

Leonardo was very unhappy, "Inter Milan has not yet been empty, because the league has not ended, no one knows what will happen in the end, even if Inter Milan is empty, it is the management's decision whether I will leave class or not, and you reporters say it doesn't count." ”

However, this reporter did not give up, and continued to question Leonardo if he was responsible, Leonardo finally got angry, and he scolded the reporter who found fault and said: "I naturally should take my share of responsibility, but I think anyone who has watched Inter Milan games will see that Inter has been changing for the better, and last season's treble is not the norm." ”

The Italian journalist continued to ask: "Is it the norm to be 11 points behind in the Champions League round of 16 and in the league?"

"I don't want to answer your question, Mr. Journalist, you will not be welcome at Inter in the future. Leonardo got up and left the studio directly.

Ferguson shook his head, feeling that Leonardo was still too young to be by reporters.

Leonardo left early, the press conference became a one-man show for Ferguson's master and apprentice, Manchester United advanced, Ferguson and Gao Xiaodong were very happy, answered a lot of questions from reporters, Gao Xiaodong even directly answered reporters' questions about the national team, Gao Xiaodong said that he would not play for countries other than China, if the national team needs him, he will do his best for the national football team.

Gao Xiaodong's speech at the post-match press conference made Chinese fans very excited, they looked forward to the stars and the moon and finally looked forward to Gao Xiaodong's clear answer to play for the country, many fans gathered and surrounded the door of the Football Association office building, asking the Football Association to quickly recruit Gao Xiaodong into the national team.

The newly appointed Chairman Wei of the Football Association is very happy, he thinks that Gao Xiaodong is supporting his work, because when Chairman Long was in office, Gao Xiaodong never said such a thing, but he also knew that the national team has no official competition now, and coach Gao Bo and Gao Xiaodong still have contradictions, and Gao Xiaodong is fighting on the third line, and the task is busy.

Therefore, Chairman Wei sent a favor to Gao Xiaodong, saying that the European competition is now tense, and Gao Xiaodong will not be recruited into the national team now.

The Chinese reporter believes that the most important task of the Football Association now is to let Gao Bo get out of class, choose a high-level foreign coach, and equip Gao Xiaodong with a high-level coaching team to prepare for the 2014 World Cup qualifiers.

When Chinese football is excited about Gao Xiaodong's preparation for entering the national team, the Champions League quarterfinals have all ended, and the eight teams that advanced to the quarterfinals are Bayern, Schalke 04, Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk, Chelsea and Tottenham, including three in the Premier League, two in La Liga, two in the Bundesliga, one in Ukraine, Serie A and Ligue 1.

The day after the quarterfinals were all released, UEFA held an 8-in-4 draw ceremony in Nyon, Switzerland.

According to UEFA's draw principle, in the quarter-finals, "the same country, the same group avoidance" will no longer be considered, and the entire draw will be completely random, including the order of home and away.

The draw was presided over by UEFA's bald secretary-general, Gianni Infantino, and former England striker Lineker was the guest to assist in the draw.

Soon, all eight matchups were decided, namely Real Madrid vs Tottenham, Chelsea vs Bayern, Barcelona vs Shakhtar Donetsk, and Manchester United vs Schalke. In the top half of the semi-finals, the winner of Manchester United vs Schalke vs Chelsea vs Bayern, and in the bottom half it is the winner of Barcelona vs Shakhtar vs the winner of Real Madrid vs Tottenham.

Manchester United and Barcelona have been drawn, their opponents are all underdogs, almost lying in the last four, followed by Real Madrid, the worst are Bayern and Chelsea, these two iron-blooded teams have to have a strong dialogue, no matter who advances, they have to take off a layer of skin.

After the draw ceremony, the famous European bookmakers updated the odds for the first time, Barcelona was favored, they surpassed Manchester United at 1 to 2.3 to rank first, while their opponent Shakhtar Donetsk was at the bottom with 1 to 51. Barcelona are followed by Manchester United and Real Madrid, both of whom are priced at 3 to 1.

This was followed by Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Tottenham and Schalke, although bookmakers favoured Chelsea to knock out Bayern, while Tottenham, Schalke and Shakhtar Donetsk were all playing soy sauce.

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson was very happy after the draw was made in Manchester as he prepared for the league game, and he told the outside world that the Reds have been in good form and good luck this season to make history and become the first team to win the treble twice.
