Chapter 723 The Story of Manchester United's Locker Room

After Mendes accompanied Gao Xiaodong to the hotel, he did not leave, but instead followed him into Gao Xiaodong's room.

He opened a bottle of drinks for himself and Gao Xiaodong. Mendes sat down on the sofa and said, "Xiaodong, you will officially start to adapt to Manchester United's life tomorrow. I want to tell you some things."

"Mr. Mendes, you said." Gao Xiaodong listened to Mendes' speech very seriously.

Mendes said: "You have experienced two leagues, Portugal and Italy. These two leagues are actually European styles, focusing more on tactics and techniques, while the Premier League is simpler, straightforward and rough. You must pay attention to protecting yourself and not getting hurt. Look at Anderson and Nani, they both have talents that are not inferior to you, but injuries have a great impact on them."

Gao Xiaodong said: "I understand."

Mendes said: "Where is people, there are worlds. Every locker room has gangs, and Manchester United is no exception. Although Sir Ferguson likes you and values ​​you, if you can't get along well with the major parties in the locker room, it may be difficult for you to perform at your own level."

Gao Xiaodong said in surprise: "Is there anyone in Manchester United's locker room dare to disobey Ferguson's will?"

Mendes said seriously: "Then you must have never heard of Ronaldo's story. Sir Judge is very fond of Ronaldo, but when Ronaldo first arrived at Manchester United, he dribbled a lot of balls. Manchester United was once tied by Fulham, and the whole team was a little angry. Back in the locker room, Alan Smith angrily scolded Ronaldo for dribbling too much, which affected the passing rhythm of the whole team. Ronaldo was not convinced and beaten up by Smith. Later, because Ronaldo did not pass the ball, the two started fighting again, and Ronaldo also suffered a loss. You know that Fanny was driven away later, but Smith from the local gang was fine, so Ferguson spoiled you again, and you still have to fight for the status of the locker room."

Gao Xiaodong smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that I heard that former captain Keane knocked Heinzer unconscious with one punch. I thought I was just talking and playing around. Now I realize it's really so dangerous. It seems that I have to bring a stick."

Mendes smiled and said, "Danger? After Cantona and Keane left, Manchester United's locker room will definitely not be so dangerous, and they will be beaten at most."

Gao Xiaodong scratched his head and said, "I'm afraid of group fights. If one on one, maybe who will beat whom."

Mendes smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. At Manchester United, you are not alone. Anderson and Nani are both mine. This year, a young forward of 190s, Babe, came. I told them that you must be a good helper for you and you can trust them as much as possible."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "So, I am the boss of the Portuguese Gang."

Ahem, Mendes almost choked, "Boss? At Manchester United, the only boss is Gary Neville, and the others are at most big bosses. The local gang has the largest power, and the captain Neville is the locker room leader. Ferdinand, Giggs, and Scholes are all big bosses. The mainland Latin gang has the second power, now Vidic and Evra are gradually taking over. They are big bosses of Manchester United. You can't offend them. After you come, the Portuguese gang is the third largest power. You must unite the former Dutch gang's legacy Van der Sar, Valencia of Ecuador, and Park Ji-sung of South Korea. In this way, you can win your own locker room status in the cracks between the local gang and Latin gang."

Gao Xiaodong said strangely: "Isn't Rooney the top player of Manchester United? Isn't he considered a locker room boss?"

Mendes said: "It turns out that Rooney is of course a locker room boss, but isn't he going to transfer? Besides, even if he can't transfer, his status will not work anymore. The four local gang bosses are very dissatisfied with him."

"Thank you, Mr. Mendes."

Gao Xiaodong sincerely thanks Mendes. He received a lot of tips from Mendes when he transferred to Serie A. It can be said that Mendes' experience allowed Gao Xiaodong to avoid many detours when integrating into Inter Milan. This is also the reason why Mendes did not consider Gao Xiaodong's interests in the transfer twice, but Gao Xiaodong did not directly break up with Mendes.

Mendes waved his hand and said, "You are the person I value the most. Of course I have to do my best in your development. You are a very smart kid. In fact, even if I don't say anything, you can handle many things well. I just want to remind you. The atmosphere of seniority in the Manchester United locker room is very heavy, so you must respect them. Sir Ferguson and captain Neville both like players who dare to fight. As long as you perform bravely and diligently on the court, you can get their appreciation. Just like Berbatov, you are talented enough, but because of your laziness, you have never been liked by the local locker room bosses."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "If I am diligent and hard, I will not lose to anyone."

Mendes smiled and said, "This is also the reason why Sir Ferguson is so optimistic about you. Your temperament is so consistent with Manchester United. Okay, you have a good rest. I'm going back. By the way, your English is too bad and you can't communicate. Manchester United's locker room speaks English, and they don't like to enter the locker room for translation. You can make up for more English by yourself."

Gao Xiaodong said with a bitter face: "Don't worry, coach." Since meeting Emma in Rhode Island, Gao Xiaodong has deeply understood the pain of language barriers, and he is determined to study hard with Xiao Le.

After Mendes left, Gao Xiaodong did not go to bed immediately. Based on the information provided by Mendes and the situation he learned, he began to think about how to gain a foothold in Manchester United.

Obviously, at the beginning, the local gang must not offend them. They must make good friends and gain their trust. At the worst, they must be able to live in peace. The Latin gang is not small. However, if you want to increase your voice in the locker room, you must suppress them, and then win over Van der Sar, Valencia and others. If you can get the position of team deputy, you may be able to compete with the local gang in the future.

Just as Gao Xiaodong was thinking about how to gain a foothold in the locker room, the big guys of Manchester United's local gang were also talking in the bar about Gao Xiaodong who had just set a historical transfer record and joined Manchester United.

Ferdinand said: "This kid beat us twice in the Champions League. He must be arrogant when he came to the locker room. He has to give this kid a warning, otherwise he can still take us to heart."

Scholes said: "It's good to teach him a lesson, young people must not know that the sky is high and the earth is thick."

Captain Gary Neville is a chatterbox. He has been talking just now, saying: "Gao is the person our boss values. The boss says he is the next Ronaldo. You should be more at ease and don't hurt him, otherwise the boss will definitely be with you."

Giggs said: "This kid is still very powerful. His style of playing is more simple than Ronaldo. There is definitely no problem taking over Scholes. We are all older. He is only 20 years old. If he stays at Manchester United honestly, he can become the new king of the Red Devils in the future."

Gary Neville sighed: "I only have one season for this. Scholes and Giggs are at most two years. It's too late to wait for this kid to grow up. Rooney is not good at it. If he doesn't want to leave, take Xiao Dong Gao for a few years. When Xiao Dong Gao grows up, Rooney will retreat to the second line and it will be perfect."

Ferdinand angrily said: "Rooney is a ungrateful guy. If you don't do it well, you'll have to go to Manchester City just to make tens of thousands of pounds a week."

Gary Neville thought about it and said, "No, I still can't let Rooney leave. Look at our group of people, they are all too old and too young, and they are not suitable for the young. Only Rooney, the Mesozoic generation, is the Mesozoic generation. For Manchester United, I have to persuade him again."

Giggs said: "It's probably useless to persuade him. He listens to the vampire Strafford in everything."

Gary Neville said: "It's useless and you have to try it. You guys drink it, I'll go find Rooney now."

Ferdinand said: "Since that's the case, let's all go and forget it."

Scholes said: "Let's go together."
