Chapter 781
The game was over, and Ferguson went over with a smile and shook hands with Hodgson, and invited him to his office for a drink.
Hodgson's face looked ugly like a dead man. He barely held Ferguson's head, shook his head, turned around and went back to the locker room without saying a word. It can be imagined how the Liverpool player who lost his underwear would endure the anger of the old coach in the locker room.
Manchester United players and fans celebrated this crazy victory, 7:2, which is the second largest score of the 100-year Double Red Club, second only to Liverpool's bloody defeat of Manchester United 7:1 100 years ago.
Gao Xiaodong received the most applause and cheers on the spot, and many Manchester United fans began to write songs for Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong's performance today is indeed worthy of worship. He has a hat trick and an assist. In addition, Berbatov and Rooney's goals, Gao Xiaodong played a major role, which is definitely arriving in the whole game.
The live commentator Martin sighed after the game: "Now the Red Devils don't have to worry about their 80 million yuan being wasted. With this performance against Liverpool, even if they don't win the Champions League and the league, it's worth the price. The 20-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo will definitely not be able to play such dominance. It will be Manchester United in the future."
When Manchester United celebrated, reporters wanted to ask Gao Xiaodong for an interview, but this time the press officer Diana stopped the reporter. She told reporters that Gao Xiaodong would not accept interviews from reporters now, but he will accompany Sir Ferguson to attend the post-match press conference. If the reporter has any questions, he can ask Gao Xiaodong at the post-match press conference.
The reporter was disappointed, but there was no way. They knew that as long as Diana decided, it would be useless for them to pester them, so they had to interview Rooney, Nani, Berbatov and other players who performed well.
Rooney finally scored a goal against Liverpool. Rooney played against Liverpool 12 times before, but only scored one goal, and it was already the time when he won 1-0 away from Anfield in January 2005. That was also the first time Rooney played against Liverpool for Manchester United.
Rooney was very happy to finally break through Liverpool goal today. When he was interviewed by reporters, he expressed his joy for today's victory and praised Gao Xiaodong.
"It's a great victory, 7:2 is an unimaginable score, and it seems that our biggest victory against Liverpool has been 4:0 since entering the Premier League."
"I'm very happy to be able to break Liverpool's goal again. Nothing is more happy than breaking Liverpool's goal. I haven't broken Liverpool's goal for five years. I've broken this spell and I think I'll score more goals in the future."
"High is very good and very good. The hat trick reflects his strength. I can't say he is better than Ronaldo, but he and Ronaldo Messikaka are both of the same level. He has a good relationship with me, and I like teammates like this."
Berbatov was not able to score a hat-trick, and he was very sorry for this. Berbatov said: "I could have made history, but Scotter and some other factors stopped me. Unfortunately, this is football, but it is also a pleasure to score two goals in Liverpool."
"The score of 7:2 is something that no one can imagine. It's a fantastic score. We played the perfect football, it's a perfect start, and I hope we can win the championship in the end."
"Gao is a great player. He has the opportunity to be the best in the world. He and Gerrard have the opportunity to create history, but the course of history has chosen Gao. Congratulations to him for becoming the first player in the Premier League to score a hat-trick in the Double Red Club."
Berbatov was a little dissatisfied with Gao Xiaodong's hat trick but he lost this opportunity, because for players of his age, such an opportunity may only be once in his life. Ferguson gave Gao Xiaodong the penalty kick opportunity, which Berbatov believed was a need for commercial value, just like Manchester United bought the Chinese Dongfang Zhuo before.
In addition, Berbatov also transferred the resentment of Nani not passing the ball when he faced the empty goal in the last stage and choosing to shoot himself to Gao Xiaodong. He believed that Nani, who is also a Portuguese gang, was helping Gao Xiaodong suppress him.
After interacting with the fans on the court, the players returned to the locker room to continue celebrating. The team achieved an epic victory. Although there was a flaw in the middle of the penalty kick, the flaws did not hide the merits. The major gangs in the locker room were very happy. The only one who forced a smile was former Liverpool superstar Irving.
As the youngest goal record holder in the history of the Double Red Club, Irving sat on the bench for 90 minutes today, and Ferguson did not give Irving a minute of chance to play.
Whether Ferguson wants to humiliate Hodgson or embarrass Irving, in short, this hurts Irving. He feels that such a victory has nothing to do with him. He is like an outsider at Manchester United.
Even though Irving was innocently deprived of the No. 7 jersey, he had no idea of leaving. He still hoped to prove himself at Manchester United. But now, Irving has had the strong idea of leaving for the first time.
The players celebrated for a while, and Ferguson came in. The old Lord was so excited that his face flushed. He expressed his gratitude to his children and praised them for their contributions to Manchester United fans for a classic game.
After praising the players, Ferguson took Gao Xiaodong to the press conference hall to attend the post-match press conference.
Gao Xiaodong performed very well in this game. Manchester United staff continued to congratulate and say hello to Gao Xiaodong along the way. It seemed that Gao Xiaodong had been playing here for many years.
When he came to the hall, he also gave Gao Xiaodong a warm applause, which made Gao Xiaodong realize the importance of a national derby and also understood why Berbatov wanted to grab a penalty kick, and Rooney was so anxious to score a goal.
Gao Xiaodong and Ferguson were not late until seven or eight minutes later.
The new Liverpool coach's face was gloomy, as if everyone present owed him money. When press officer Diana asked him to make a post-match summary, Hodgson said depressedly: "First of all, congratulations to Manchester United, they won an incredible victory! For Liverpool and me, today was a very bad day. This was the biggest loss of Liverpool in the past hundred years. I think it was really bad. Today's rhythm was not on our side, and we conceded the goal early in the game. Although Gerrard scored the score, we were always a chaser. We lost our own rhythm, especially after Gao Xiaodong scored a penalty, we never regained our own rhythm... The loss of this game cannot end our hopes. We still have 33 games, and we need to correct our mistakes and play better so that we can return to the right path to the championship."
Then Ferguson's speech was made. The Jazz was in a happy mood. He touched his rosacea and said proudly: "In April 2003, we created the biggest score against Liverpool in 50 years. Today we created the biggest score in a century. We have played the first hat trick for 64 years. Who can not be excited and happy about such a game? However, the league has just begun. We cannot be complacent and must continue to work hard. Only by the end of the season can we evaluate what kind of season it is."
After commenting on the competition, the reporter asked questions.
On the court, the reporters were unable to interview Gao Xiaodong, and now they finally had the opportunity to ask Gao Xiaodong.
"Gao, do you know that Manchester United fans have been waiting for this hat trick for you for 64 years?" asked a British reporter.
Gao Xiaodong scratched his head, "I really don't know this, but this is nothing. Manchester United has been waiting for more than a hundred years to surpass Liverpool. He hopes to help fans realize this dream at the end of this season."
Gao Xiaodong's answer made Ferguson and Diana look at each other again. At a young age, the ability to deal with reporters is really not easy.
Then the reporter asked Gao Xiaodong, saying, "How do you feel when you play the Double Red Club for the first time?"
Gao Xiaodong said: "I'm very excited, especially since I heard that there are so many fans watching, but the early goals made me quiet. This game is comparable to the Milan derby, which is the best derby in the world."
The reporter asked again: "When you made a penalty kick, you saw Berbatov and Rooney, and Giggs were going to grab the penalty kick. What did you think?"
Gao Xiaodong asked in a confusion: "Is anyone grabbing it? I just know that everyone wants to score goals."
The reporter asked Gao Xiaodong next, "Why are you so able to score goals?"
Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Maybe he has been lucky to score goals recently."
The next reporter asked Ferguson, "Scoring eight goals in five league games, including the Champions League and the Community Shield Cup, Gao has scored 11 goals. He has such strong goalscoring ability. Isn't it a waste not to play as a striker?"
Ferguson smiled and said, "You are not satisfied with Gao's performance. How many goals do you think Gao scores in 7 games are excellent? If you think Gao's performance is very good now, then I say that now is his best position."
The reporter continued to ask Ferguson, "At that time, Berbatov, Gao Xiaodong, Rooney, and Giggs all went to grab the penalty kick. Why did you choose Gao Xiaodong to take the penalty?"
Ferguson said: "You must have made up countless reasons, but I tell you that there is only one reason, that is, the high penalty kick rate is the highest, and we need a penalty kicker who can stabilize for Manchester United."
The reporter said: "What do you mean is that Gao will become Manchester United's first penalty kicker in the future?"
Ferguson said: "You said it right. Gao will be Manchester United's first penalty kicker and set player in the future. He has this ability."
When Gao Xiaodong heard this, he was immediately delighted. He never expected that he would get the penalty kick and penalty kick so quickly. In terms of courage alone, Ferguson and Mourinho are at the same level as 70 years old.
After asking Gao Xiaodong and Ferguson several questions in a row, the reporter asked Hodgson, "After 2:2, you choose to defend. When you are three goals behind, you choose to attack. Can you tell me what the reason is?"
The reporter's question is very mean, and Hodgson is also an old man. He said coldly: "No matter what tactical arrangements I make, our result is to win."
The reporter then asked another topic that embarrassed Hodgson, "Do you have targeted defense against Gao Xiaodong today?"
Hodgson showed a bitter smile, "Of course, Gao is the most threatening player of Manchester United. We have an arrangement before the game, but it is difficult for him to defend the defender and not adapt to the type of player like the defense."
The reporter then continued to ask Gao Xiaodong, and Ferguson and Hodgson almost became spectators, which made both old coaches a little embarrassed, especially Ferguson. Generally, he was the focus of reporters' questions, but at his press conference today, he became a foil.
