Ferguson was right, almost the whole of England criticized Gao Xiaodong the next day, thinking that Gao Xiaodong's beating on the stadium was too barbaric and must be severely punished, even the local "Manchester City Evening News" in Manchester was no exception, and the only one willing to speak for Gao Xiaodong was the "Sun".

"Sun" reporter Sean thinks that it is wrong for Gao Xiaodong to beat people, but it also depends on the circumstances under which Gao Xiaodong beat people, Carragher almost broke Nani's legs, and spat at Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong is young and vigorous, and it is understandable to lose his mind.

Mainstream media such as "Bild", "Team Newspaper", "Marca", "Milan Sports Newspaper" and other mainstream media are critical of Gao Xiaodong's voice, suggesting that this kind of stadium violence should be severely punished.

Of course, in Asia, the vast majority of the media are defending Gao Xiaodong, especially the Chinese media, who are complaining about Gao Xiaodong's red card, believing that in that case, no one can hold back the anger, and if you want to punish it severely, you must first severely punish Carragher.

Natural media comments could not influence the FA's decision, and the next day, the FA announced the punishment of Gao Xiaodong and Carragher, who were suspended for three games for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Although at the post-match press conference, Ferguson said that he would appeal for Gao Xiaodong, but that was just a way for Ferguson to express his support for Gao Xiaodong.

If a player is sent off without appeal, a ban will apply after one round and will cover all FA competitions, including the FA Cup.

This is very good for Manchester United, in the league, Manchester United still have a six-point lead, and the opponents in the next few rounds are weak, Gao Xiaodong's suspension does not have much impact on Manchester United.

And this suspension will be implemented every other round, this round happens to be the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, the opponent is Manchester United's old rival Arsenal, this round of Gao Xiaodong just happened to be able to play, for Manchester United, this is definitely a great luck in misfortune.

Due to the game with Liverpool, Nani was basically reimbursed for the season, Evra and Fletcher got the flu after the game, plus the original injured Ferdinand, Vidic, Valencia, Anderson, Owen, Hargreaves, Evans, Manchester United now has 10 players who cannot play in the game with Arsenal, if there is no Gao Xiaodong, Manchester United may not be able to beat Arsenal.

Of course, the situation of Arsenal is not good now, in the League Cup final, Arsenal unexpectedly lost to the weak Birmingham, in the past Champions League 1/8 finals, Arsenal lost 1-3 to Barcelona, and was successfully overturned by Barcelona with a 2:1 lead at home.

Not to mention the elimination of the Champions League, Arsenal also injured the big man Van Persie, plus the original injured Fabregas and Szczesny, Arsenal also has three main players who cannot play, and the situation is not much better than Manchester United.

In the pre-match press conference, Ferguson encouraged his players very strongly, "We do have a lot of injuries, of course I hope they can play, but it won't affect our game." Something like that can happen at any club, you can't do everything easily in a season, and when you have a situation like that, you have to find a way to overcome it and we have enough experience to get out of it. “

Ferguson said of old rivals Arsene Wenger and Arsenal: "I don't think about other people's affairs, although Arsenal have been unfortunate lately, if I have to sympathize, I will sympathize with myself. It's going to be very difficult for us this week, we have Arsenal in the FA Cup, Inter Milan in the Champions League in midweek, we have a lot of players who won't be available, but now I'm just thinking about this FA Cup game, it's been a few years since we last won the FA Cup, so it's very interesting, for example, it's very surprising to see that Rio Ferdinand has never won that honour, and it's a great opportunity for these players to go to Wembley as long as we get to the semi-finals. ”

Many reporters asked whether Pogba, the youngster of the youth team, had a chance to play in this game, and Ferguson did not make it clear, he just said: "We have a lot of injuries, Pogba certainly has a chance, but he is still young and inexperienced, so he needs to be very cautious about how to use such an important game, and then see what happens, I can only say that he and some young players will have a chance." ”

With so many injured players at Manchester United, it was a godsend for the youngsters and substitutes in the youth squad.

Before the quarter-finals, Manchester United's players in the FA Cup and League Cup were substitutes and youth teams, and there were only a very small number of main players, but now that the FA Cup has reached the quarter-finals, the opponent is still a strong opponent like Arsenal, and the youth team and substitute players basically have no chance to play.

But now Manchester United has too many injuries, and Ferguson has to transfer from the youth team, so that the opportunity for Pogba and others, who played well in the last game, has come.

Although manager Alex Ferguson said that young players would get the opportunity to play, Pogba was still not at ease, and on the eve of the FA Cup game, Pogba and Bebe came to Gao Xiaodong's house to inquire about the news.

Pogba has now signed a contract with Xinglong Brokerage Company, and he is Gao Xiaodong's person, and Gao Xiaodong naturally spares no effort to promote Pogba.

As long as Pogba can make a name for himself at Manchester United, the reputation of Xinglong's agency will also be known.

Gao Xiaodong clearly told Pogba and Beibei that Pogba has a great chance to play, because Manchester United's midfield is seriously lacking, but Beibei's chances are not as big as Pogba's, Manchester United is not short of people on the front line now, unless there is no suspense in the game, Bebe has hope to play.

Bebe himself also analyzed the situation of Manchester United, and he didn't have much hope, so he was not too disappointed.

If Pogba and Bebe can play in this game, they will be partnered with Gao Xiaodong for the first time in an official game, and Gao Xiaodong carefully told them about his running line and passing habits, so that the two of them can actively cooperate with him.

Gao Xiaodong told the two very seriously that they should not only think about scoring goals and assists, if they can form a tacit understanding with themselves in the game, it will be very helpful for their future development in Manchester United.

Pogba and Bebe are only claimed, they are not stupid people, they know very well that Gao Xiaodong is the core player of Manchester United, and even the core player in the next 10 years, if they can form a tacit understanding with Gao Xiaodong, or help Gao Xiaodong, they will naturally have a status in Ferguson's mind.

Pogba and Bebe stayed at Gao Xiaodong's house until late before going back, when they went, the two were still nervous, and when they went back, they were full of confidence, because they knew that even if they didn't get any chance in this game with Arsenal and didn't play well, as long as Gao Xiaodong was at Manchester United, they had a great hope of entering the first team.
