It seems that Ferguson attaches great importance to the Manchester City derby, which he calls the strongest derby in 25 years.

However, judging from the training before the game, Gao Xiaodong still did not regard Manchester City as his real opponent. He still believed that Manchester City was just a "noisy neighbor" and at most he was a neighbor in a better shape.

In fact, this is normal. After all, Manchester City has been under the suppression of Manchester United for more than 20 years and has never had a chance to make a comeback. This sense of superiority that has been precipitated for more than 20 years is not so easy to remove.

Gao Xiaodong is an exception. He has only joined Manchester United for a year, so he is not that strong in his sense of superiority. He can look at Manchester City's opponent more clearly.

After training the day before the competition, Gao Xiaodong did not go home immediately. He asked Pogba to sit in his car for a while and went straight to Ferguson's office.

Ferguson was working on a tactical board. When he saw Gao Xiaodong coming in, he was a little surprised, "Xiaodong, is there anything wrong?"

That is, Ferguson, who speaks so directly, but Gao Xiaodong likes it.

"Boss, I feel that my teammates underestimate the enemy in the past two days of training."

Gao Xiaodong was also blunt. In fact, he had seen it a long time ago, just to see if Ferguson would point out this problem, so he has been tolerant and has not posted it.

Ferguson was stunned for a moment and smiled, "Why don't you think they have strong self-confidence?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "I think Manchester City is stronger than Chelsea, but we obviously don't regard Manchester City as a level opponent in Chelsea."

Ferguson said: "Do you think Manchester City is stronger than Chelsea? Manchester City is just a strong outside and a middle-aged man. Their real combat power cannot be compared with Chelsea. They are just a nouveau riche mercenary corps."

Ferguson is one of the best coaches in the world, but he is nearly 70 years old and is becoming increasingly stubborn. Although Manchester City's record is in front of him, it is still difficult for him to change his view of Manchester City.

With the majesty of the old Lord, he didn't dare to say anything after changing to other players. Gao Xiaodong was deeply favored by Ferguson and was not afraid of Ferguson. He continued: "I think Manchester City this season is different from last season, so we can't be careless."

Ferguson said confidently: "Xiaodong, you are too worried. Don't look at Manchester City's many soldiers and many generals. If you haven't lost, tomorrow as long as we score the first goal, they will be timid. If you score two goals, you can basically end the battle."

"Okay, coach, I think the record is the best explanation, so let's be careful."

Ferguson smiled and said, "You kid, I will be careful. Look, I'm still studying tactics now."

Ferguson looked relaxed, as if he was laughing at Gao Xiaodong and was worried.

Gao Xiaodong couldn't convince Ferguson, and there was no way. As a player and captain, he could only remind the coach that it was impossible to change the decisions made by the coach.

Saying goodbye to Ferguson, Gao Xiaodong returned to the car, and Pogba asked curiously: "Brother Gao, what are you looking for a coach?"

"Tell me about our training, I think..."

Gao Xiaodong started the car and drove towards Cheshire.

Before Gao Xiaodong finished speaking, Pogba interrupted in a hurry: "Brother Gao, have you praised me with the coach?"

Pogba has not been able to get a chance to play recently. He is a little depressed and even more anxious.

Gao Xiaodong didn't have time to tell Ferguson about this, but he didn't want to let my younger brother down and said, "I mentioned you, but now every battle is bad, you young substitutes have no chance. When these tough battles are over, you may have time to play."

The blacks are just optimistic. Pogba had no idea of ​​playing the main player this season. He was very happy to hear that. He twisted and sang in Gao Xiaodong's car, as if he had seen hope.

He sent Pogba home on the way. Ten minutes later, Gao Xiaodong also returned to his home in Cheshire.

As soon as he entered the door, Gao Xiaodong saw Balotelli.

Balotelli was playing the ball barefoot on Gao Xiaodong's small football field.

Balotelli is Manchester City's main striker, Gao Xiaodong is Manchester United's midfield core, and the two teams will play tomorrow. Even if Balotelli and Gao Xiaodong have a good relationship, they usually have to avoid suspicion and cannot visit each other.

But Balotelli is not an ordinary person. Last time he was able to enter Manchester United's training base to visit, so it was normal to come to Gao Xiaodong's house this time.

Seeing Gao Xiaodong's car coming in, Balotelli shouted happily, "Gao, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Now you can see my sharp gun shooting a moving target."

After saying that, Balotelli pulled the ball towards Gao Xiaodong's Audi

Balotelli had some brain problems, but his footwork was absolutely fine. This kick hit Gao Xiaodong's car glass.

"Bang!" The ball flew out.

Fortunately, Gao Xiaodong's car has been changed to bulletproof glass, otherwise, he would have to change a piece of car glass today.

Gao Xiaodong thought Balotelli would finish playing, but he didn't expect Balotelli was still not satisfied. When Gao Xiaodong got off the car, he then shot another shot and hit Gao Xiaodong's butt.

This is a standard sneak attack.

Gao Xiaodong was closing the car door with his back, and it was impossible for him to see Balotelli playing football.

But Gao Xiaodong is not an ordinary person either. His super glasses will give him nearly twice the vision than ordinary people. Balotelli's batting move happened to be seen by Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong suddenly turned around, shot with a volley, and then kicked the flying ball back intact.

Balotelli was about to applaud, but he didn't expect the jersey to fly over at a faster speed.

Balotelli couldn't dodge and was stuffed in his chest by the ball.

Monkey and Xiao Le, who were standing at the entrance of the hall, couldn't help laughing and applauding.

"Haha, God Ba, you are taking it upon yourself."

"Haha, God Ba, you know Xiaodong is amazing."

"I want to plot against Xiaodong? Ba Shen, you are still a little tender."

"What's a little tender is just a lack of heart."

...

The monkey and Xiao Le talked in English and Chinese, and Balotelli couldn't understand it.

"Gao, how did you do it?" Balotelli asked in shock.

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Keep confidential. Tell me first, why did you come to my house?"

Balotelli said: "It's okay, I'm a little bored, come and chat with you."

Gao Xiaodong was speechless when he heard this. Is this time for chatting?

Gao Xiaodong said: "Will you not compete tomorrow?"

Balotelli said: "What's the conflict between competition and chat. I'm tired of the rest of the game and want to come back and stay home more, be with my family, or my brothers and my girlfriend, and I've grown up."

Gao Xiaodong was speechless. If you want to stay at home, just stay at home. Why do you come to my house?

But since we are here, we cannot drive it away. China is a country of etiquette, so how can it be like a foreigner?

"Okay, you've grown up, Ba Shen, do you want to practice on my court now or go back to the living room to have tea with me."

If anyone else had to go to have tea with the owner, but Balotelli said, "Then I'll play the ball again, you can play together."

Gao Xiaodong waved his hands repeatedly, "I can't play, I'm tired of training for a day. You can play, I'll take a break."

Gao Xiaodong changed his clothes and drank a cup of tea. He heard nothing outside. When he came out, he saw that Balotelli had left.
Chapter completed!
