In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester United beat Schalke 04 5:2 at home, almost stepping into the semi-finals.

In another game in the first half, Chelsea lost to Bayern 0-1 at home, losing the initiative to advance.

In the second half of the two games, Real Madrid defeated Tottenham 4-0 and Barcelona defeated Donetsk Miners 5-1. The two teams were more stable than Manchester United and almost met in the semi-finals.

In the Champions League group stage, Gao Xiaodong scored 5 goals, one less goal number than Messi and two more than Ronaldo. In the two rounds of the quarterfinals, Gao Xiaodong scored 3 goals, tying Messi and 4 more goals than Ronaldo.

In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals just passed, Gao Xiaodong scored twice, while Messi did not score, only one assist. Gao Xiaodong finally surpassed Messi in the Champions League scorer list, leading with 10 goals.

However, in the league, Gao Xiaodong was banned from the red card and scored 35 goals, Ronaldo overtook the lead.

In the next match between Manchester United and Fulham, Gao Xiaodong still has to be suspended. If Ronaldo continues to score, it will be very difficult for him to defend the European Golden Boot.

For Manchester United, due to injury players returning one after another and Rooney is in good shape, there is no big problem in winning Fulham at home. Manchester United's main energy is not on Fulham. They mainly consider the FA Cup semi-finals with Manchester City in the midweek.

After the Middle East rich man took over, Manchester United's rise was very strong. In the last Manchester City derby, Manchester City tied Manchester United. Even if it wasn't for the triple-tall, Manchester United must suppress Manchester City and prevent them from winning the FA Cup.

The league is easy to arrange, but the FA Cup game made Ferguson a little embarrassed.

Manchester United's three fronts this season, the main players are the league and the Champions League, and the substitutes and second team players play in the League Cup and the FA Cup.

For giants like Manchester United, players sitting on the bench are definitely the main players in the small ball club. If they don’t give them a chance to play, they may find it difficult to sit on the bench at Manchester United with peace of mind.

Now the substitute and the second team players have worked hard to play to the semi-finals of the FA Cup. If all of these people are replaced and the main players are used to play, the substitute and the second team players may feel dissatisfied.

But obviously, Manchester United cannot continue to use its original lineup to play Manchester City, because after losing hope of winning the league, Manchester City's main attack goal became the FA Cup champion. In this semi-final against Manchester United, Manchester City will definitely do their best to do their best.

If Manchester United plays with their original substitutes and young players, the possibility of losing is very high.

Although Ferguson is a domineering person, he is not unreasonable and does not know how to adapt. In the 32nd round of the league with Fulham, Ferguson selected four main players of the FA Cup to enter the league roster, allowing them to follow the main players to get along with them, and then fight side by side with the main players in the FA Cup semi-finals.

Among the four players Ferguson selected, two of the second team players, one of which was the French genius Pogba who played as a midfielder.

This is a very good opportunity for Pogba, because this is his first time to be selected for the league roster. If he can perform well in the league and gain Ferguson's trust, he may have a chance to play in the Manchester City derby in the FA Cup.

Before the game against Fulham, Pogba came to Gao Xiaodong's house again, hoping to get Gao Xiaodong's help.

Since Beibei has been abandoned by Ferguson, Pogba did not come with Beibei this time, but came to Gao Xiaodong's house alone.

Pogba is now a contracted player of Xinglong Agency, that is, Gao Xiaodong's person. If Pogba plays, Gao Xiaodong will have a lot of profits, and he will do his best to Pogba and Gao Xiaodong.

Manchester United now has too many people in the midfielder position, including Fletcher, Kalek, Anderson, Hargreaves and Gao Xiaodong. Pogba lacks confidence in himself.

Although Gao Xiaodong has not followed Ferguson for a long time, he is very close to Ferguson and often hears Ferguson in Class 92. Therefore, he is more familiar with Ferguson than ordinary players. He told Pogba that Manchester United has more midfielders, which means that Sir Jordan attaches more importance to the position of the midfielder. Moreover, the few midfielders of Manchester United are not tall and have poor interceptions on high-altitude balls. This is Pogba's advantage. In addition, except for Gao Xiaodong himself, other low-level midfielders in Manchester United have poor organizational and dispatching and forward-spinning offensive ability. If Pogba can show his talent in this area in training, it may increase the possibility of playing a few points.

However, Pogba is only 18 years old after all, so Gao Xiaodong still hopes that Pogba will not be anxious, train well, and wait patiently for the opportunity.

The monkey also saw that Pogba was a little anxious and advised him that not everyone can make a big splash like Gao Xiaodong, Rooney, Messi, and Ronaldo. That requires a very high opportunity. The monkey hopes that Pogba will be patient and don’t set his goal too high this season. Next season should be the time for him to enter the first team.

With Gao Xiaodong, a 20-year-old Golden Baller, by his side, Pogba is under a lot of pressure. Although Gao Xiaodong and Monkey repeatedly advised to comfort him, it is still difficult for Pogba's restless heart to calm down. In the joint training with the first team, Pogba had a strong desire to perform, but he was too much of a performance. It was unreasonable to handle the ball, which disappointed Ferguson. In the league with Fulham, Pogba entered the 18-man roster but did not get the chance to play.

It turns out that among the main players of the FA Cup, goalkeeper Kuzzak and young player Gibson got the opportunity to start.

Fulham ranks eighth in the standings and has the hope of entering the UEFA Cup. In this game, they did not give up their desire to win against Manchester United, who was unbeaten in the league. They defended and counterattacked, actively blocking Manchester United's attack through half-time pressing.

Fulham caused a lot of trouble for Manchester United in the first half, but at the beginning of the second half, Nani passed two straight passes. Berbatov received the ball from the offside position and scored the ball in a single shot. However, the referee did not see it and the goal was valid.

After Manchester United scored, they fully grasped the rhythm of the game. Then Valencia and Nani scored two goals in a row. In the end, Manchester United beat Fulham 3-0 with Gao Xiaodong absent, and continued to maintain an 8-point advantage over Chelsea.
