In the second warm-up match with the University of California, Gao Xiaodong appeared at the center back, and he partnered with Italian defender Matrazi.

Everyone in the football field was shocked. Gao Xiaodong played many positions, such as forwards, front midfielders, wing forwards, and back midfielders, but they were all midfielders and never played backs. There was a huge gap between the midfield and the defenders, so they could not be replaced at will.

Besides, Gao Xiaodong is only 1.73 meters tall. Can he play as a central defender?

Yes, world football player Cannavaro is only 1.75 meters tall, but Cannavaro is talented and has been immersed in the central defender position for a lifetime, not something that Gao Xiaodong, who played a guest role, can compete with.

The players and fans of the University of California were also angry. This was so fucking too much that they used midfielders to play as defenders.

In addition to being shocked, the reporters were more excited. They thought it was boring to play the University of California team in the warm-up match and could not attract attention. Now the news about the topic came. Mr. 5ooo Wan went to Inter Milan to play the defender. It would be even better if there were a few more mistakes.

Matrazi, 36, is a veteran of Inter Milan. He has won the World Cup and Serie A championship. He is most eager to win the Champions League in Inter Milan. At his age, he does not have much jealousy about Gao Xiaodong's annual salary. He just thinks it is unreasonable for Mourinho to spend 50,000 yuan to buy Gao Xiaodong. It is even more unreasonable for the team to give Gao Xiaodong such a high annual salary. A furious child, even if he really has some skills, and he still doesn't fly to the sky without getting so much money, can he play a good game?

He couldn't understand Mourinho's arrangement to play as a central defender this time. Isn't this a joke? Has Gao Xiaodong played as a defender? Yes, Cordoba's ability to control airs is poor, but Gao Xiaodong is as tall as Cordoba. Can he have Cordoba's defensive skills? Is Cordoba's experience rich?

Although he didn't understand, Matrazi's team had a strong sense of honor and did not want to be scored by a garbage team like the University of California again. When he kicked off, he said to Gao: "You are responsible for grabbing, I will drag it back, and if you are fouled after being caught, I will defend that two-meter high center forward, you will defend that shorter one."

The task of dragging the back is heavy, and the goalkeeper and the goalkeeper and the goalkeeper are in a tacit understanding. They need to shout whenever they miss people, wherever they need to grab them, wherever they need to assist in defense. Sometimes, they must be decisive and clean at critical moments to eliminate the forward who breaks to the innermost, and be clear about their goalkeeper's ability, attack distance and timing. This position requires experienced people to play.

Matrazi didn't talk much, but took the initiative to take the responsibility on his shoulders. Gao Xiaodong was very grateful. Except for the second-hand guy Balotelli, this was the first time he felt the kindness from his teammates since he came to Inter Milan, even if it was not entirely for him.

The strength of a team like the University of California is incomparable to Inter Milan, but the Americans are in good health, young, able to run, and pressing all over the field can occasionally create opportunities for offense. After Inter Milan scored two goals, the University of California got a chance to cross from the wing. Their two-meter-tall center is in good physical fitness. He crossed the position with another forward and threw away Matrazi.

Matrazi didn't keep up, Gao Xiaodong and Matrazi could only substitute defense. When the Inter Milan fans around saw Gao Xiaodong defending the two-meter-high high center forward, they all felt that the header would definitely be snatched by the opponent's center after the finish.

American fans were excited from the frustration of losing two goals in a row and shouted: "William enters one. William enters one."

Gao Xiaodong was not panicked. The system gave him 20 years of professional experience. Faced with such a problem, he quickly approached the opponent's high center forward and interfered with his running position.

William wanted to use his body to squeeze Gao Xiaodong away, but Gao Xiaodong's strength was very good and flexible. When William did not squeeze Gao Xiaodong's penalty area, Gao Xiaodong saw that William was about to jump. When he squeezed the position with him, he reached out and pushed him slightly, then jumped up, using the bullet to push the ball out of the bottom line before William was about to push the ball out of the bottom line.

This was a successful defense. William was tall and powerful, but Gao Xiaodong grabbed the header first, which surprised the fans on the sidelines.

Settings are also a good opportunity for weak teams to score goals. The University of California has invested a lot of troops. Although William, who is two meters tall, was handed over to Matrazi, Gao Xiaodong's forward who is also 1.86 meters tall, which is also one head taller than Gao Xiaodong. The Chinese fans on the sidelines were also worried that Gao Xiaodong would not be able to compete for him.

However, while competing for the header, Gao Xiaodong stepped on the foot of the marking striker before jumping. He jumped up and pushed the ball out, but the opponent's forward jumped and Xuexue was sore.

In the subsequent games, the California forward did not gain any advantage in several conversations with Gao Xiaodong. Not only was he completely defeated by Gao Xiaodong, but there was no problem with the air defense that everyone was worried about. Although Gao Xiaodong was short, he had the help of height-enhancing shoes, which was much better than Cordoba's air-control ability.

Gao Xiaodongdu has advantages and rich experience. He can fill up the position for Matrazi. He doesn't need Matrazi's help at high altitude balls. With their cooperation, the University of California has limited attack power and was eventually sealed by Inter Milan.

After the game, Matrazi hugged Gao enthusiastically: "Xiao Donggao, you are a natural central defender. I don't think we need to buy central defenders anymore."

"This depends on the coach's arrangement." Gao Xiaodong said with a smile.

At this time, the Inter Milan players looked at Gao Xiaodong with similar eyes as they looked at aliens. The central defender position is different from other positions. This is a position that requires great experience. The 19-year-old Gao Xiaodong can perform easily, and seems to be more mature than Matrazi. This is too unscientific.

Mourinho also looked down on a team like University of California and deliberately let Gao Xiaodong go up and play. Unexpectedly, Gao Xiaodong performed so well, his ability was no worse than Cordoba, and his health was much better than Cordoba. Gao Xiaodong could complement each other whether he partnered with Matrazi or Samuel. If he couldn't buy a good defender, Gao Xiaodong could also be a backup choice. With this level of versatile players, the shortage of personnel doesn't seem to have to be so anxious.

Mourinho was in a good mood at the post-match press conference and even joked with the reporter.

When the reporter asked if Mourinho would continue to let Gao Xiaodong play as a defender in the subsequent game, Mourinho smiled and said: "Xiao Donggao performed very well. He showed extremely high defensive talent. Of course, it would be a waste to buy a central defender of 50,000 yuan, but I don't rule out that Xiao Donggao will play a cameo."

Then Mourinho complained again, "Many people think that buying Gao Xiaodong for 50,000 yuan is too expensive, but you only spent 50 million euros, but you bought an all-around warrior who can stand up, back, forward and defender, and it is not bad in every position. This deal is so cost-effective."

When a reporter was smart and asked Mourinho to give a hint "whether he liked Schneider" twice in a row, Mourinho joked about him.

"It's not about likes and dislikes, your question sounds like a gay person." Mourinho said to the microphone with a smirk.

With a versatile player like Gao Xiaodong, Mourinho has the confidence to issue an order to expel the Inter Milan player he doesn't need.

"The football match only requires 11 people to 11 people. It is not a good thing to have a player on the training ground at the same time. Those who should leave know what I mean, and it is not good for the club to stay in the lineup. Nowadays, players seem to be more concerned about money and enjoyment than futures. Even if some players know that the coach here does not need him, they will not find another place. Gimenes went to West Ham, which is very good for him. But if other players are unwilling to leave, I respect the contract they signed with the club. Anyway, I will never change their attitudes and opinions about these players."
