In order to make the Champions League, he hid the main players, but the Champions League was tied by a weak team. After the game, Manchester United became a joke in the European arena.

Basel coach Fink excitedly said that the team had accomplished a miracle. When he was behind three goals, he never dreamed of equalizing the score.

Manchester United coach Ferguson said the team failed to win, and the responsibility lies with him. He was too careless about underestimating the opponent after leading three goals.

After the game, the media did not blame Ferguson for all the blame. The media believed that although Ferguson was careless and underestimated the opponent, Manchester United, who was not as strong as Gao Xiaodong, was one level stronger than Basel, and it was unforgivable to be scored three consecutive goals by Basel.

Manchester United was tied by Basel, and Benfica, who beat Galaz 1-0 in this round, was not happy.

Benfica's goal in Group C is not to grab Manchester United's top spot, qualifying is their most realistic goal.

Benfica's biggest opponent to qualify is Basel, with Basel dating with Manchester United, while Benfica lost to Manchester United, which will leave Benfica passive in the competition for qualifying places.

Manchester United was accused by the media and fans after the game, and the players and coaches also reflected and summarized it. However, in fact, this draw had little impact on Manchester United. As long as there was no problem with Basel away, there was no problem with home games against Benfica, and it would be no problem to win the first place in the group.

Of course, it is not that there is no impact at all. Manchester United dare not relax in the subsequent games, and it will be a little troublesome when the schedule is tight.

After the Champions League, the League Cup began.

Manchester United's goal this season is to defend the double championship, not take it seriously in the League Cup, and send substitutes to fight young players.

The young man from Manchester United was very successful, defeating Leeds United with 3 goals and easily entered the fourth round of the League Cup.

In the subsequent league, Manchester United played against the newly promoted Manovic.

Manchester United no longer has a point advantage in the league. They have all their main players, defeating Norwich, and maintaining pressure on Manchester City.

After the league, it was the national team match day again, and Ferguson gave the players a holiday the next day.

The national team members return to the team after the national team match day. Players who do not have national team match tasks will rest for three days, and then return to the team for training with the youth team after three days.

Gao Xiaodong did not have a national team match. In the last game with Jordan, because his teammates had a conflict with Jordanian players, Gao Xiaodong tried to fight but received a yellow card.

The Chinese team appealed to the AFC for Gao Xiaodong's yellow card, but now the AFC is in the hands of the West Asians. The Chinese team will fight Iraq in the next game, so how could the AFC exempt Gao Xiaodong from being sentenced?

Naturally, the complaint of the Chinese Football Association was rejected by the AFC, believing that Gao Xiaodong would not lose money by pushing someone, and he could not revoke the penalty, but he would not pursue the penalty.

This penalty sounds fair, but it actually causes great harm to the Chinese team.

Gao Xiaodong missed the home game against Iraq, and played the away game against Iraq.

If Gao Xiaodong lost at home, he would not lose the game away. Facing the West Asian team with extraordinary home whistles, Gao Xiaodong might not be able to win even if he appeared. In this way, the entire Group A would become very chaotic.

Although there was no competition task, the national team recruited Gao Xiaodong and asked him to go back to train, get in with his teammates, and encourage his teammates.

This call is normal. This is the first time Gao Xiaodong has participated in the national team and has almost no chance of training with his teammates. Now the schedule of the World Cup qualifiers is so tight. It is necessary to come back and practice together to ensure that he can reach the top 10 games.

Gao Xiaodong had no objection to this. After the league ended, he packed his luggage and flew back to China.

However, this incident has aroused dissatisfaction among many fans and media in China. Many reporters and fans remembered Yao Ming and Wang Zhi of the National Basketball Team. Because they played too many commercial games for the national team, they not only affected the NBA's performance, but also their careers.

Domestic journalists and fans are too concerned about Gao Xiaodong, afraid that Gao Xiaodong will leave Yao Ming and Wang Zhi’s mistakes. Of course, there are also media who want to pull Gao Xiaodong to increase their popularity.

They criticized the Football Association for recalling Gao Xiaodong, believing that Gao Xiaodong should be allowed to rest at Manchester United and wait for the away game to be called again.

It turned out that the Football Association did not care about criticism or suggestions from fans and the media, but now it is related to Gao Xiaodong, and Gao Xiaodong is now the life-saving straw for the Football Association. The Football Association had to explain: This is to hope that Gao Xiaodong can work with the team and improve the team's combat effectiveness, not to deliberately make things difficult for Gao Xiaodong, or show the authority of the Football Association.

Gao Xiaodong saw the news and the hype on the Internet, and was worried that it would affect the team's unity. After arriving in China, he explained this matter and said that he believed that the call of the national team was correct. Although the Chinese team has won two consecutive victories, the situation is still unclear. As the captain, he returned to the team and trained with his teammates, which may be helpful to the following game.

In the last game, the Chinese team was in charge of their own Fudi Tuodong Stadium. This time they moved to the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center Stadium.

Iraq defeated Singapore 2-0 in the last game, but the situation was very unfavorable because it lost to Jordan in the first round.

This game with the Chinese team is very important to Iraq. Gao Xiaodong is absent in this game. If they cannot win, it will be even more difficult for them to win after Gao Xiaodong can play in the next game.

Although it was a away game, Iraq played with confidence in winning. The Chinese team started two consecutive victories, and the situation was good. Gao Xiaodong was missing in this game. Whether it was Camacho or the player, they hoped to be more stable, win better, and it was acceptable to get a point.

One is bound to win, and the other is sure to win, and the result is self-evident.

In the first half, Iraq took the lead in the away game and launched an attack on the Chinese team.

Captain China passed the pass and rushed, and the two wings flew together, threatening Iraq's gate with a quick counterattack.

It should be said that 45 minutes ago, both sides got shots, but neither had the chance to score an absolute goal.

But in the stoppage time of the first half, the captain of the Chinese team, Li Feng, missed another person. Yunis protected the ball in the penalty area and turned around and passed it to Karim, who was unprepared. Karim faced the attacking goalkeeper Yang Zhi and pushed back to the back point of the goal. Yunis snatched the ball into the goal in front of another central defender deputy captain Du Wei. Then, the Chinese team fell behind 0-1 at the end of the first half.

The Chinese team could not accept the loss. In the second half, Kamacho replaced two consecutively to counterattack, but the Chinese team's forward line had great problems. It was difficult for them to create effective attack opportunities, and the opportunities created by their teammates were wasted. When Iraq was sent off a defender in 65 minutes, the Chinese team failed to break through Iraq's goal, but was scored by Iraq again in stoppage time in the second half. In the end, he lost the game 0:2 at home.

The Chinese team lost at home, while Jordan defeated Singapore 3-0 away.
