Manchester United took a three-day rest after returning from the United States and then headed to Barcelona, ​​Spain, where Manchester United will play a warm-up match with their old rival Barcelona.

This is just a warm-up match, but because the match was played between the two giants in the Champions League final last season, this match also has more attractiveness than many official matches. Many Spanish media even regard this warm-up match as Barcelona's battle of revenge.

Barcelona is fighting at their doorstep, so they naturally hope to defeat Manchester United to relieve their anger. Manchester United does not attach as much importance to this game as Barcelona, ​​but this is the last warm-up match before the start of the league, and they are unwilling to lose morale before the start of the new season.

The game was held at the Camp Nou Stadium, and nearly 70,000 people came to the stadium that could accommodate 100,000 people. This number was more than an ordinary La Liga match, which shows how much Barcelona fans attach to this game.

After the game began, Barcelona continued to launch a fierce attack on Manchester United.

After experiencing the life-and-death battle in the Champions League final, facing Barcelona with delicate skills, Manchester United does not rashly attack or defend. They actively press Barcelona in the half-time, and do not give Barcelona a space to pass and cut. The two sides fought back and forth, fiercely fighting for the ball in Manchester United's halftime.

After about five minutes of the game, a middle-aged fan wearing sunglasses and a Spanish jersey walked into the stands.

This fan is different from an ordinary fan. He holds a notebook in his hand and looks like a scout. If he takes off his sunglasses, many Spanish fans will definitely recognize him, and many Spanish reporters will definitely point the camera at him, because he is former Spanish coach Camacho.

Of course, Camacho came to the Camp Nou to watch the warm-up match between Manchester United and Barcelona. His goal is to come to Manchester United's midfielder Gao Xiaodong.

A day ago, Camacho had just negotiated a work contract with someone from the Chinese Football Association. The reason why he had not signed the contract formally was mainly because Camacho wanted to talk to Gao Xiaodong first.

Although the annual salary offered by the Chinese Football Association is very generous and is quite attractive to Camacho, in addition to his salary, Camacho also cares about his grades. After all, he is also a coach with status and status, and he still cares about his reputation.

The level of Chinese football has always been in the middle and lower reaches of the world. It reached the World Cup finals held in Asia in just 2002. As long as it can lead the Chinese team to the Brazilian World Cup, it will be a huge success for Camacho.

However, if Camacho wants to lead the Chinese team into the Brazil World Cup, Gao Xiaodong is crucial.

Gao Xiaodong is the Golden Ball. If he can return to the national team, the strength of the Chinese team can definitely be improved by a level. Although the Football Association said that Gao Xiaodong will definitely come back and Gao Xiaodong also expressed his hope to return to play in China, Kamacho still dared not be careless. He hoped to get Gao Xiaodong first and then sign a contract with the Chinese Football Association.

Gao Xiaodong didn't know that Camacho was in the stands, and he still controlled the game in his own way and rhythm.

Manchester United and Barcelona have fought against them many times, and they are very clear about their advantages with their opponents. They did not compete with Barcelona for their skills, but instead used their bodies and speed to compete with Barcelona.

Although it was a warm-up match, both sides had great defensive moves. Busquets and Raphael fell to the ground in pain after being violated. After simple treatment, they could continue to participate in the game. In the 15th minute, Raphael was unable to persist in being replaced by Fabio.

As the game deepened, Barcelona, ​​who played at home, gradually took the initiative. In the 21st minute of the game, Busques directly sent Iniesta. Iniesta's powerful shot in the running was blocked by Fletcher and Barcelona got a corner kick opportunity.

Messi took a corner kick, Vidic headed the ball to clear the ball, and the ball fell to Gao Xiaodong's feet. Gao Xiaodong immediately initiated a quick counterattack, gave the ball to Rooney and continued to step forward. Rooney took the ball in the middle and passed it to Gao Xiaodong in time. Gao Xiaodong handed the ball to Nani. Nani succeeded in offside, went to the meeting alone, entered the penalty area and calmed down and pushed the ball with his right foot. The ball penetrated Valdes' crotch and entered the net. Manchester United led 1-0.

Barcelona then made a big counterattack, but Manchester United's defense was very stable and Barcelona could not equalize the score.

After the halftime break, Ferguson replaced three players in a row, Giggs, Pogba and Smalin came on as a substitute.

Manchester United's consecutive substitutions gave Barcelona the opportunity to attack. In the 70th minute, Messi made a cross from the left, Thiago got the ball from the middle 25 meters away and shot his right foot outside the instep. The ball drew a wonderful arc and drilled into the upper right corner of the goal. Barcelona tied the score 1-1.

In a warm-up match, the two sides ended well, but Barcelona was determined to take revenge and then continued to siege Manchester United.

Barcelona was eager to win, but instead gave Manchester United a chance to counterattack. In the 86th minute, Pogba successfully cut off Thiago's cross-pass and gave it to Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong suddenly started and flashed through the blockades of Busquets and Pique in succession, and scored a shot on the penalty area line. Manchester United led 2-1 again.

Barcelona then made a desperate attack, but Manchester United successfully resolved Barcelona's offensive. In the end, Manchester United defeated Barcelona 2-1 and maintained a six-game winning streak in the pre-season warm-up match.

After the game, the Barcelona people were very annoyed, and some players went back to the locker room without even exchanging jerseys with Manchester United players.

Manchester United players did not stimulate Barcelona players either. They simply celebrated, went back to the locker room to take a shower, and then took a bus back to the hotel.

When he arrived at the hotel, while dining, Gao Xiaodong received a strange call. The call was from Kamacho. He wanted to meet Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong was both surprised and normal. Camacho was a Spaniard. If Camacho was sure to coach the Chinese team, it would be too rude and stupid not to come to see him, the future Chinese team core.

Gao Xiaodong did not refuse, and he was just about to meet this future coach, to find the right way to get along with this coach.

After dinner, Gao Xiaodong and Ferguson took a leave and took a taxi to the bar where Camacho asked him to meet.

Camacho and Gao Xiaodong are both celebrities and are concerned about each other. As soon as Gao Xiaodong entered the bar, he was recognized by Camacho. Camacho was very enthusiastic and left his seat to shake hands and greet Gao Xiaodong.

While saying hello, Gao Xiaodong carefully observed the future national team coach.

Kamacho has a chubby face, which looks very good as the Chinese people say, but his slightly raised chin and curvy lips give people a feeling of stubbornness and rebelliousness. Gao Xiaodong's first impression was that this person might not be easy to get along with.

After sitting down, Camacho said, "Gao, what are you drinking?"

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "A beer bar."

"Okay." Camacho was a little surprised. He met the future head coach for the first time. He thought Gao Xiaodong would choose a drink like lemonade, but he didn't expect Gao Xiaodong chose a glass of beer.

This kid is a little interesting, Camacho has become even more curious about Gao Xiaodong.
