Chapter 790 Leading the standings

After Gao Xiaodong scored a goal, Manchester United took advantage of the victory to pursue it, hoping to expand the score advantage and secure the victory, but Bolton was not in a hurry to win the score. They defended and counterattacked without giving Manchester United too much space. In the end, neither side was able to score again in the last few minutes of the first half.

Back in the locker room, Nani looked at Gao Xiaodong with great envy and said, "You are so awesome today. I dreamed of scoring such a goal."

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Luck, luck, is purely a waste of luck."

Little Pea Hernandez said: "The last one was the most powerful, tall, why were you so calm at that time? If I were under the opponent's flying shovel, I would definitely be panicked."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "I'm panicked too. I'm so lucky. Actually, I should have passed it on a long time ago."

Gao Xiaodong said this to Neville, who was sitting on the other side of him, and after scoring the goal, Gao Xiaodong realized that he was playing a bit independent. Not to mention Rooney, Berbatov, even big guys like Giggs and Scholes would probably have opinions.

Nevildo was smart. He said with a smile: "Your ball is good, it's okay if you pass it, it's nothing if you don't. The great goals in world football are mostly irrational products. High, don't be upset about it."

Neville appreciates Gao Xiaodong the more he sees Gao Xiaodong. As a midfielder, he scored so many goals. Even if he scored such a beautiful goal today, he was not inflated at all. Instead, he felt that his choice was not good enough. If Rooney had this IQ and EQ, would he still need these old guys from Class 92 to hold on?

Giggs was also very satisfied with Gao Xiaodong's performance and said: "That goal was scored very beautifully, which was comparable to my solo riding score against Arsenal. If I had passed it at that time, there would have been no such a peerless goal."

Giggs compared Gao Xiaodong's goal today with his classic goal in Arsenal in the FA Cup final, which made Gao Xiaodong flattered and said: "This is just an ordinary league game. You are in the FA Cup final, and your opponent is still Arsenal, and you can't compare."

Giggs was very helpful to hear it and said, "No matter what kind of game it is, it's a good goal."

Scholes also said: "Although the best choice for passing, Gao was already extremely excited at that time, which is understandable."

The three big guys sang together, which was actually for Berbatov and Rooney. After all, these two are Manchester United's regular seal killers. If they have resentment towards Gao Xiaodong, it will be detrimental to Manchester United.

Berbatov must have resentment, and Rooney is not very happy either. He needs to score goals now, but the three big guys in Class 92 support Gao Xiaodong, so it is hard for them to say anything else.

Park Ji-sung saw that Gao Xiaodong didn't pass the ball when the two forwards were unguarded, and the boss of Class 92 also endorsed Gao Xiaodong, and knew which side he should stand. He also came to Gao Xiaodong, "Gao, congratulations, for scoring such a beautiful goal."

Gao Xiaodong was a little surprised, and then realized that Park Ji-sung was showing goodwill to him in public. He smiled and said, "It's just a goal, but it can be used as two goals."

Everyone laughed when Gao Xiaodong said this.

After a while, head coach Ferguson came in. He was in a good mood and praised the players for their performance in the first half, and then asked the players to shrink slightly in the second half to hit Bolton's counterattack.

Fifteen minutes passed, the second half began again.

Manchester United leads the score and the formation is no longer as forward as in the first half. Gao Xiaodong is closer to Scholes, assisting Scholes in defense, leaving only Rooney and Berbatov to counterattack in the front.

Bolton's tactics remain unchanged. They still use long passes and rushes, constantly using Davis and Elmander's header to attack Bolton's defense line, and then the forward player takes advantage of the chaos to make a kick.

Manchester United's defense is stable, and even Barcelona and Arsenal's penetration will be difficult to break Manchester United's defense line, but Bolton's simplest and rough tactics are effective. Davis and Petrov's long shots flew out of the goal twice against the crossbar.

Of course, Manchester United's counterattack threatened even more. Rooney and Berbatov both got the opportunity to counterattack. Berbatov also had a chance to hit the ball alone, but his speed was too slow and was destroyed by his opponent.

In the 65th minute, Ferguson made a substitution adjustment. Giggs, who had a strong offense and weak defense, was replaced, and Park Ji-sung came on the court to strengthen his defense.

Park Ji-sung's appearance caused crazy cheers from Korean fans. The Korean derby they had been looking forward to for a long time was finally staged. The Korean live commentator desperately advocated that the first half was the time for the performance of the Chinese Gao Xiaodong, and the second half should be the turn of the Korean double star performance.

After getting the long-awaited playing time, Park Ji-sung ran desperately on the court and quickly stole Bolton player Petrov. However, just as Korean fans were expecting Park Ji-sung to have a long-distance raid, Park Ji-sung passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong was prepared for it. Seeing Rooney running, he passed through two lines of defense and sent it to Rooney.

Because he was worried about the opponent's interception, Gao Xiaodong's pass was a bit strong, and Rooney's skill was rough, so he stopped the ball too much and was cleared by defender Riki.

In the 70th minute of the game, Bolton and Lee Qinglong made a long pass to the top of Manchester United's penalty area. Evans cleared the ball and the ball was grabbed by Peterlov. Park Ji-sung came to steal it and was dunked by Peterlov. Peterlov then took the kick and volleyed it. The ball hit Scholes and changed direction. Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar failed to react and the ball flew directly into the net.

2:2

Bolton used Manchester United's turnover to tie the score.

Petrov's goal surprised the Boltons very much. More than 20,000 fans celebrated wildly, applauding and cheering for the team's wonderful performance.

The Manchester United players were very frustrated by the opponent in the 70th minute, and Vidic and Van der Sar were even more angry and accused Evans who made the mistake.

Ferguson was even more depressed. He had just replaced a defensive player and then the opponent scored a goal. Manchester United would never accept the draw. Now is a great time to overtake Chelsea. How can you satisfy yourself if you get a point?

Ferguson was full of courage, so he immediately made adjustments and pushed Nani to the winger's position. The formation changed from 442 to 433, launching a strong attack on Bolton.

Ferguson's change of formation greatly exerted Nani's attack power. The Boltons tied for only five minutes. Nani broke through from the wing. He did not cross and decisively cut into the penalty area. He passed the ball to the front of the penalty area before the central defender blocked it.

Rooney shot in the middle and hit the ball and bounced back on the post.

The ball fell to Gao Xiaodong's feet, Gao Xiaodong distributed the ball to Nani again. Bolton strengthened his defense against Nani. Nani lost the ball on the side, but Petrov was caught by Gao Xiaodong and Park Ji-sung when counterattacking. Petrov's intention to pass the ball was seen through by Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong stretched out his foot to break the ball and quickly drove the ball to the bottom line.

Fullback Styinsen came to intercept, Gao Xiaodong stopped and got up quickly, and ate Styinsen with one rhythm and speed.

Gao Xiaodong tangentially from the baseline to the penalty area, central defender Wright came to intercept, Gao Xiaodong made a move to splash inward, suddenly accelerated, forcibly squeezed past Wright.

At this moment, Gao Xiaodong was already very close to the goal, but others were at the bottom line, and goalkeeper Jaskolanin also blocked the near corner. Gao Xiaodong did not force the shot, and he passed back to the penalty spot to find Rooney.

Facing most of the empty goal, Rooney finally failed Gao Xiaodong's pass this time. He pushed the ball into Bolton's goal with his arch.

3:2

Rooney was extremely excited after scoring the overtake goal. He quickly ran towards Gao Xiaodong and picked up Gao Xiaodong, "Gao! The pass is beautiful." At this moment, Rooney's dissatisfaction with Gao Xiaodong just now disappeared completely.

Ferguson on the sidelines clenched his fists excitedly and applauded. He was very satisfied with Gao Xiaodong's pass. Sure enough, he read that right. Although Gao Xiaodong is young, he is not a player who plays solo. It seems that he is now fully responsible for the core of Manchester United's midfield.

Ferguson learned from the previous lesson of Bolton's equalization of defense. He knew that Bolton's tactic of killing the master with random punches was useless to rely on defense alone. After overtaking, he asked the players to continue to strengthen their offense and did not give Bolton time to control the ball.

In the 83rd minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong made a pass, Nani dribbled the ball over Petrov, then dribbled over Holden, cut into the ribs and scored, expanding the score to 4:2.
