Tottenham Hotspur was the first to kick off the ball.

Robbie Keane passed the ball back to Modric. Modric just passed the ball back to his defense line, and Manchester United striker Rooney rushed past him like a wind.

Rooney has been eager for Manchester United captain for a long time. Now Neville is about to retire. Ferguson said that whoever performs well in the locker room and in the game will be the captain. This greatly stimulated Rooney. Xiaopang actively asked for the game as soon as he returned from injury and performed very hard after he came on the court.

Berbatov is no different from usual. He runs slowly. For Brother Xiaosha, the position of captain is almost impossible for him to fall on his head. His lazy personality also makes him less interested in the position of captain. He now only wants to play football with his own temperament.

Manchester United is indeed confident in playing Tottenham, and he can't help but Rooney, Berbatov goes up, Nani and Fletcher also pressed up. Gao Xiaodong, the core offensive teammates are pressing forward, and he can't stay behind, so he also pressed up. Only veteran Giggs is left behind in the midfield.

Giggs understood why these people were so active. He shook his head and moved honestly a few meters to the middle, trying his best to make up for the vacuum left by Gao Xiaodong and Fletcher.

Faced with Manchester United's powerful press, Tottenham did not make a long pass because they were not Gao's Crouch today, but Robbie Keane, who was faster and more flexible.

Redknapp failed to play Crouch because Manchester United's two central defenders Vidic and Ferdinand were too outstanding. Although Crouch was tall, he was like a telephone pole and could not grab air superiority in front of Vidic and Ferdinand. Instead of this, it was better than Robbie Keane, who had a fast speed and strong explosive power.

With a fast hit, this is also Redknapp's tactic in this game.

After several passes in Tottenham's backcourt, the ball was passed to the midfield core Modric.

Of course, Manchester United won't be unaware of Modric's role in Tottenham. Fletcher has been staring at Modric for a long time. The moment the defender passes the ball, he quickly pounces over and steals.

Modric has the reputation of Mozart on the court. His judgment of the speed of the ball is far beyond ordinary people. Fletcher swooped here and the ball has not been passed there yet, but Modric accurately judged that the ball would reach his feet first. He stood and did not move. When the ball arrived, he suddenly pulled the ball and turned around, getting rid of Fletcher without sending it.

However, Gao Xiaodong didn't believe that he could steal the ball when Fletcher made a steal. When Fletcher pounced over, Gao Xiaodong quickly approached Modric. When Modric turned around, Gao Xiaodong also rushed over at an extremely fast speed.

Modric is known as Mozart on the stadium. When he was passing by, he had already seen the situation around him and thought about the next move. Before Gao Xiaodong could pounce, he pushed the ball to the side and looked for Bale.

Modric's catch-off and pass were done very smoothly, and could be said to be impeccable.

However, Modric's opponent today is Gao Xiaodong.

When Gao Xiaodong rushed over, he considered that Modric would pass the ball and would definitely pass it to Bale, who was extremely fast.

Gao Xiaodong made this judgment because from Tottenham starter Rodbick Keane, he must play fast. Since he wants to play fast, and at this time, Manchester United's formation is so powerful, it is impossible for Modric to pass it to Bale, who is extremely fast. Gao Xiaodong himself would have passed it like this.

Since it was determined that Modric would pass it to Bale, Gao Xiaodong had already prepared to steal when he was on the snatch, so when Modric moved his shoulders and waist, Gao Xiaodong immediately slowed down, turned, and flew to shovel the ball to Nani who was returning to defense.

Nani was overjoyed, took the ball and turned around, and quickly rushed to the bottom line.

Gao Xiaodong did not run to the middle to grab the spot. He knew how fast Tottenham Bale was. He didn't believe that Nani could fight the fullback one-on-one before Bale caught up with him, so he quickly moved closer to the side and raised his hand to ask Nani for the ball.

If Neville announced his retirement, Nani would definitely not pass it, breaking through on the wing and fighting against the full-backs alone, this is what he likes and is best at.

But after Neville announced his retirement, Gao Xiaodong has become one of the candidates for Manchester United captain, and his agent Mendes also publicly supported Gao Xiaodong. Of course, Nani will not be unable to get along with Gao Xiaodong at this time.

Nani gave the ball to Gao Xiaodong with regret, and continued to run towards the bottom line to suppress the opponent's fullback.

However, as soon as Nani passed the ball, he heard the whistling wind beside him. Bale had already passed by him like a cloud and fog, and he was chasing Gao Xiaodong in a slanted direction.

Nani instantly got goosebumps. If he hesitated for a moment, he would probably have rushed over from behind to steal it.

After receiving the ball, Gao Xiaodong turned around and faced the goal, raised his hand and pointed to the penalty area to allow Rooney and Berbatov to run.

Rooney started running when he saw Gao Xiaodong getting the ball. Berbatov ignored Gao Xiaodong's gestures. He still ran according to his habits.

Just when everyone thought Gao Xiaodong was going to pass the ball, Gao Xiaodong took a step forward and suddenly took a long shot.

Tottenham goalkeeper Gomez focused half of his attention on Rooney and Berbatov. Unexpectedly, Gao Xiaodong shot directly from 30 meters away, and he hit the lower left corner of the goal.

Gomez moved rapidly and fell to the ground and rushed to the side. His fingers barely touched the ball. The ball deflected slightly and banged it on the post and bounced out.

Gao Xiaodong's cold shot scared the Tottenham players in a cold sweat. More than a thousand Tottenham who came to assist the game also screamed in shock. Seeing the ball being cleared by the defender's big foot, they were still scared and called "lucky".

In fact, Manchester United players and fans were also surprised. They did not expect that Gao Xiaodong was raising his hand to direct his teammates to run, but he directly shot without warning.

"Hold the grass! Door post!"

"The door post! What a pity!"

"It seems like the goalkeeper pounced!"

"So cunning! He actually shot!"

"It's really going to exhaust your brain cells when competing with this vulgar guy!"

"Hua Guogao should be the captain! Once he becomes the captain, Manchester United will never suffer a loss!"

...

Although there was no goal, Gao Xiaodong's cold shot at the start of more than one minute still made Manchester United fans wet. Everyone applauded and praised, and they all felt that the passionate and upright Manchester United had a wretched and cunning captain like Gao Xiaodong.

Ferguson was also shocked by Gao Xiaodong's cold shot. Seeing the ball hit the goal post, the old man slapped his head hard, and unfortunately he failed to score.
