After the fourth round of the league, when Gao Xiaodong drove his Audi to Carrington training base, he felt that his supporters were more and more enthusiastic than before. At least hundreds of Manchester United fans were cheering at him with their hands on both sides of the path leading to the base gate.

Entering the gate, Mrs. Catherine, who was in charge of reception at the front desk, handed the letters and gifts from fans from other places to Gao Xiaodong. "Child, your performance the day before yesterday was amazing! You are the pride of Manchester United!"

Mrs. Catherine has worked for Manchester United for more than 40 years and is a witness to the rise and fall of the club. Even Coach Ferguson said hello to her like a junior in front of her.

"Thank you, Mrs. Catherine. I just did what I should do. You are so good today. It seems like you are one year younger than when I saw you the day before yesterday."

Gao Xiaodong has a strong adaptability and always says hello to Mrs. Catherine and praises Mrs. Catherine for her youth.

"You kid is really good at speaking, go and train quickly."

Mrs. Catherine touched her cheek and smiled. She couldn't even tell the difference between Asians Park Ji-sung, Dongfang Zhuo and Gao Xiaodong, but she felt that the Chinese player who came here now was more pleasing than all the Chinese people she had ever seen, and her key abilities were even stronger.

"Goodbye, madam."

Gao Xiaodong waved his hands to Mrs. Catherine, drove the car into the parking lot, then went to the locker room to change clothes and prepare for training.

Seeing Gao Xiaodong coming, Manchester United players greeted Gao Xiaodong enthusiastically.

In the field of competitive sports, transfer fees and annual salary have never been the first. Everything has to be spoken with your feet on the court. After two final wins, Gao Xiaodong finally won the recognition and respect of his teammates, even though some teammates don't like him for various reasons.

The main content of today's training is to practice the skills and tactics of the Champions League match between Glasger Rangers.

This is Manchester United's first Champions League match this season. All the new players, new players and substitutes hope to appear and show and prove themselves on the club's highest stage, so they also work very hard in training.

After coming to Manchester United, Gao Xiaodong felt that the most intense battlefield was not just Manchester United's home court Old Trafford. He also needed to fully demonstrate his abilities in training in Kailington, and there was no tolerance for any slackness or mistakes. Although everyone had a smile on their faces during training, they would give you a flying tackle at any time.

According to the strength of his teammates' tackle, Gao Xiaodong felt that if he did not have super protective gear, even his body might be injured. Even the training was so intense, which made Gao Xiaodong realize the cruelty of the competition in the Premier League.

It is indeed not for no reason to surpass Serie A and become the most attractive league in the world.

Compared with the newcomer substitutes who are facing a big enemy, Manchester United's big bosses are very relaxed. They train step by step and do not pay much attention to preparing for the league.

In Giggs' words, Manchester United has never lost to the home game against Glasger Rangers. In the 200304 season, they even killed them twice. It really doesn't need to be so nervous when dealing with Glasger Rangers.

Gao Xiaodong originally thought that the big guys were reducing the pressure on the newcomers, but after the afternoon training, Ferguson called him to the office and explained to him about the game tomorrow. Gao Xiaodong realized that it was not the case.

"Hao, sit down, what do you think of tomorrow's game?"

Ferguson gently asked Gao Xiaodong to sit down and poured Gao Xiaodong a glass of water himself.

Ferguson was very satisfied with Gao Xiaodong's performance, especially off-court, which was much more worry-free than Ronaldo. When Ronaldo was 20 years old, he would only be bullied by his teammates in the locker room, making him stand up and settle the conflict. Gao Xiaodong had just arrived less than a month ago, but he almost won the likes and respect of everyone. Half of the big guys believed that Gao Xiaodong was more suitable to be the future captain and core than Rooney. Such performance was really beyond Ferguson's surprise.

Ferguson spent 80 million to buy Gao Xiaodong, which was actually a bit risky. Needless to say, Gao Xiaodong's ability is too young. Ferguson was worried that he would not handle his relationship with his teammates well, and that he would inflate himself, but now it seems that he is over-thinking.

Gao Xiaodong didn't know why he asked him alone, but he knew that Ferguson, who had coached for decades, would never ask for his opinion. Gao Xiaodong honestly said: "I think it's very important, maybe it's second only to the direct confrontation with Valencia. If we want to win the first place, we must double-kill Glasger Wanderers."

Ferguson smiled and said, "It's very important to say it right, but you don't have to pay too much attention. This is just the first game of six group matches. For giants like Manchester United, the group match is a warm-up."

Ah! Gao Xiaodong was surprised. In Porto, every group stage game is the final. In Inter Milan, Mourinho also regards every group stage as extremely important, and even does not hesitate to rotate in the league. Ferguson actually said that the Champions League group stage is a warm-up match, which is beyond Gao Xiaodong's cognitive scope.

Ferguson smiled and said, "We will definitely qualify. The difference is only the first and second. This is determined by strength. Therefore, as a coach, we must coordinate the overall situation and not only consider qualifying in the group stage. That is the thinking of the weak. Therefore, we must adjust the team's state, so that they can start to make efforts in the knockout round and achieve the highest level in the finals."

"Oh." Gao Xiaodong suddenly realized why it is difficult for a dark horse to win the championship because it lacks a global plan. It is wherever it goes, and the force in the front is too strong and the energy behind it is out.

Ferguson suddenly said seriously: "So, for tomorrow's game, I'm going to let old players such as Giggs, Berbatov, Scholes, Evra, and Nani take a rest, so that you and Rooney will lead the team to play against Glasger Rangers. Do you have confidence?"

What? Gao Xiaodong was a little dizzy. Giggs, Baba, Scholes, Evra, and Nani were all resting. It seemed that Ferdinand was still injured. Almost all the rest were rookies and substitutes. Is this the most important Champions League match? This old man has a weird mind and even asked me if I have confidence. If I say it to my heart, it really doesn't exist. But isn't this a test of me if I don't give it to the old man? Is it a heavy responsibility to entrust me?

Gao Xiaodong's eyes rolled several times, and finally looked resolute and said, "Yes!"

Ferguson said: "Oh, why are you so confident?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "Since you have made such arrangements, it means you have a solution. In addition to being confident in myself and teammates, I also have confidence in you."

"Stop being smart." Ferguson said this, but a smile appeared on his rosy face. "I am not God, no one is sure to control the game 100%. How well you can play tomorrow depends mainly on your performance and Rooney. Rooney has had too many things during this period and is in average condition. You have to continue your performance in the league."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Do you continue the final victory in the league? I would rather win 2:0 steadily."

Ferguson said with satisfaction: "It's best to have this mentality. In fact, it's a failure to play the ultimate, because whether you can win or not depends on luck. Both the coach and the player have no control ability. Tomorrow's game, the 442 diamond position is your position as the front midfielder, and Fletcher assists in the back. We play less in this position, can you adapt, right?"

"It's absolutely fine." Gao Xiaodong clenched his fists, full of confidence, and thought to myself, I have the consciousness and technology in my mind, so don't worry.

Ferguson felt relieved when he saw Gao Xiaodong fighting spirit and confidence, and said, "Go back and play well, Manchester United's future is yours."

"Thank you, coach, goodbye."
