The day before Manchester United rushed to the United States for training, Gao Xiaodong received a call from Football Association Chairman Wei Ge.

The qualifying match between the Chinese and Laos in the Asian qualifiers of the World Cup qualifiers will start in the July issue. Although the opponent is a bottom team, the national football coach Gao Bo has been dismissed. Now he is just a temporary leader. His morale is declining and his morale is not strong. The Football Association is worried that the national football team will capsize, so he plans to let Gao Xiaodong go to the United States to train one week later and play two games with Laos first.

If another player is changed, the Football Association will not communicate with him in advance. Just say hello to the club he is in. However, Gao Xiaodong's situation is special, so Football Association Chairman Wei Ge personally called Gao Xiaodong's opinion.

Gao Xiaodong can postpone his participation in Manchester United training for a week, and Ferguson will give him this face, but Gao Xiaodong is not willing to play under Gao Bo's command. He also believes that Laos cannot pose any threat to the Chinese team, and that he will not affect the overall situation without him. Therefore, Gao Xiaodong directly rejected the suggestion of Football Association Chairman Wei Ge to join the national team in advance to play against the Lao team, and said that he would return to the national team after the new coach was in place. Even if the coach was unable to get in place for a long time, he would participate in the top 20 Asian competitions with the team.

Gao Xiaodong did not want to join the national team in advance, and Wei Gegui had no choice as the chairman of the Football Association. Fortunately, Gao Xiaodong agreed to participate in the qualifiers for the top 20 in the Asian region, which was equivalent to giving the Football Association more time to select coaches, allowing the Football Association to gain greater initiative in subsequent negotiations with the new coaches.

Now the national football team has encountered some difficulties in selecting coaches. After consulting Gao Xiaodong's opinions, the Football Association was already planning to choose Scolari as the head coach of the national football team, but for some reason, the Football Association's partner Yida Company suddenly supported another candidate, Camacho.

Although Yida Company is just a real estate company and has no power to affect the Football Association's coach selection, Yida Company is rich. They previously supported the Football Association's Hope Star program, and now they have expressed that they will help the Football Association pay the annual salary and all other expenses of the new head coach, but the premise is that Yida Company must supervise the Football Association's coach selection process.

Obviously supervision is just a subtle statement. Yida Company wants the Football Association to find a head coach that satisfies them, and the head coach that can satisfies them is definitely not Brazilian Scolari, but Espanyol Camacho.

If the Football Association did not say hello to Gao Xiaodong in advance, it would be fine to choose Camacho, but he hinted to Gao Xiaodong that he admired Scolari more, and the Football Association finally chose Camacho, which would definitely make Gao Xiaodong unhappy.

Nowadays, Yida Company and Gao Xiaodong are the funders of the Football Association and the other are core figures in the Football Association’s results. It can be said that no Football Association dares to offend either. They can only take one step at a time.

While the Chinese Football Association was struggling with the coaching election, Manchester United had already flew to Massachusetts, the United States, where Manchester United will play a friendly match with the local Massachusetts team New England Revolution.

The United States is a country with a very weak football atmosphere. Here, the most popular sport is rugby, then baseball, and basketball again, with football ranked fourth at most.

Because of the Golden Globe Awards, many Americans have heard of Gao Xiaodong's name, but they just heard that they do not know and do not admire Gao Xiaodong.

Therefore, when the European triple-champion Manchester United arrived in Massachusetts, they did not receive as warm welcome as in Asia. The number of pick-ups was only seven or eight hundred, including a considerable number of Chinese fans.

Manchester United was treated coldly outside the court. After winning the triple-winning champion, Manchester United players were unhappy, so they were not polite on the court.

In the warm-up match against the New England Revolution, although Ferguson did not send all the main players to train, but divided the main players into the first and second half to play, both the main players and the substitutes were ravaged by the New England Revolution.

In the 45th minute of the first half, Manchester United scored 4 goals for the New England Revolution. The new captain Gao Xiaodong scored three goals alone. In the second half, Ferguson changed most of the lineup, but the new players were even stronger than those in the first half. They scored 4 goals before the end of the game. Rooney scored twice, and the score had become 8:1.

Ferguson was worried about watching on the sidelines. After all, Manchester United chose to train in the United States to open up the football market in North America. If the first game ruined the American football dream, the warm-up game in the future would probably be even more difficult, and it might even turn into a real confrontation.

So Ferguson replaced the main player again and played with a pure substitute. He did not give his opponent politely. He just had too many opportunities and had not been able to expand the score. Instead, he was scored by New England. In the end, Manchester United swept the New England Revolution 8:2 in his first warm-up match in North America.

The game did not exceed double digits, and New England scored two goals, which satisfied American fans. After all, the opponent is the world's number one team, and New England still wins even though it is defeated.

Americans admire the strong, Manchester United's strong performance won their respect, and the number of fans who supported Manchester United's events in Massachusetts increased significantly.

Manchester United players beat the New England Revolution just to vent their anger, but unexpectedly won the respect of American fans.

With this successful experience, in the second warm-up match against the Seattle Bayers, Manchester United's Gao Xiaodong, Rooney and Berbatov were powerful, and all three scored twice, and Manchester United swept the Seattle Bayers 7:0.

While Manchester United was slapping the US team, the Chinese national football team also ushered in the first match of the Brazil World Cup Asian qualifiers.

Although this is a World Cup qualifier qualifier, due to the limited strength of the opponent Laos team and the poor record of the Chinese national football team during this period, head coach Gao Bo will definitely not continue to coach, which leads to the lack of sufficient popularity in Kunming. Before the game, fans who rushed to Haitang base to watch the national football training were sporadic. On the day of the game, there were only more than half of the fans in the stands at Tuodong Stadium.

Before the game, everyone thought that it would be difficult for the Chinese team to win against Laos, ranking 174th in the world. Surprisingly, the Chinese team actually stimulated the nerves of the fans with an unexpected process.

In the first half, Laos actually led the national team with two goals, which made the fans so angry that they cheered on the spot, adding fuel to the Laos team, and shouted that head coach Gao Bo was dismissed.

The Chinese Football Association was frightened. They finally waited until Gao Xiaodong agreed to return to the national team and were preparing to spend a lot of money to hire famous coaches. If the Chinese team fell into the gutter of Laos, the Football Association and the Chinese Football Association would become a big joke.

During the halftime break, Football Association Chairman Wei Ge personally went to the locker room to supervise the battle and issued a death order to the players and coaches, not to make any conspiracy, and must win Laos, otherwise the consequences will be no more than being fired from the national team.
