Chapter 805

The ninth round of the premier league between Stoke City and Manchester United is about to begin here.

Manchester United boss Ferguson chewed gum and shook hands with Stoke manager Pulis with a smile on his face.

Pulis was wearing a cap, a thin face and a pair of rimless glasses. He looked like an intellectual.

But in fact, Pulis's coaching style is extremely fierce. Since they were promoted to the Premier League two years ago, they have been famous for their hand to hand fighting in midfield and playing high. Because Stoke City defender broke Ramsey's leg in the game with Arsenal, Stoke City was called a barbaric "Rugby" team by Arsene Wenger.

Pulis doesn't like Arsene and doesn't agree with Arsene, but he is very convinced with Ferguson and thinks that Ferguson's team is more dominant, while Arsenal are more competitive.

Although Pulis spoke well of Manchester United and Ferguson before the game, Ferguson never thought the game was easy to play. He made full preparations for the game, striving to finish the five game in a row against Stoke City, and continued to open up the point gap of the defending champion Chelsea.

On the grandstand, which can hold 28000 fans, there are almost 3000 Manchester United fans. Almost all of them have a brand in their hands, but the words on the brand are different. Some have "21" on them and some have "600" on them.

Holding the "21" sign is Gao Xiaodong's die hard fans, they are here today to cheer for Gao Xiaodong's 21st birthday.

With the "600" sign is captain Gary. Neville fans, today is Gary. On the anniversary of Neville's 600 games, Neville's fans came to witness the moment.

"Today's game is a bit special, it's the birthday of Manchester United's new favorite Gao Xiaodong, and it's also Manchester United's Totem Gary," Andy Gray, a British commentator for sky sports, said when the players from both sides came on the stage. Neville's 600th anniversary is still related to whether he can catch up with the best start of the Premier League created by Jose. I hope Manchester United can keep an ordinary mind and play well in this game. Stoke City is good at defending and counterattacking, playing rough and uncool. It's also normal for Manchester United to turn over in the gutter

Players from both sides have arrived at the stadium and are waiting for the captains to exchange flags and badges.

Scholes whispered to Gao Xiaodong the experience of dealing with teams like Stoke City.

"They play very rough. At the beginning, they definitely want to scare you. Don't be afraid, don't hide. The more you hide, the more likely you will be injured. However, you should reduce dribbling, so as to reduce the chance of being shoveled."

"When something goes wrong, don't stand out. The referee likes to give new players a bad impression. It's up to us old guys."

"Strive for long-range shot, the first ball is easy to play."

……

Although the media are now speculating that Gao Xiaodong will replace Scholes and let him play as a substitute or retire, Scholes still gives him everything he can, which makes Gao Xiaodong very moved.

Gao Xiaodong doesn't need this skill. He has super equipment and is strong. It's very difficult for football players to hurt him. But the support of big men is very important for Gao Xiaodong. It's with their support that Gao Xiaodong has a firm foothold in Manchester United.

After picking the edge, the referee malinell blew the whistle at the beginning of the game. Manchester United, the first to kick off, launched a fierce attack on Stoke City.

Today is Gao Xiaodong's birthday. There are countless fans waiting for Gao Xiaodong to score. Gao Xiaodong is also very active after the opening. He is constantly trying to break Stoke City's gate.

Old Manchester United captain Gary. Neville is also excited, although he is 35 years old, physical strength is not enough to support the whole game, but Gary, Neville is still active assists, hoping to play in the time, all the physical strength are inspired.

However, stoke is the first city to get the chance to attack.

In the third minute of the game, the Stoke City guard made a big break and Wilson ferried the ball to the labian forward Walters.

Walters takes advantage of Gary. Neville's forward pressure is too far ahead and his speed is too fast to eat the old Manchester United captain.

If Walters makes a fake move, Neville will be able to use the tackle to break the ball, but Walters is really Stoke City style, simple and rough. Neville has no time to foul, and Walters will cross the ball to the penalty area.

Stoke's attack was quick. Manchester United's players haven't returned to the penalty area yet. It's dangerous for the ball to come in.

Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar showed his experience and courage as one of the top goalkeepers in the world. He made a decisive move to intercept the ball.

After van der Sar held the ball, he raised his eyes to find that Gao Xiaodong had returned to the front of the penalty area, while Scholes had just entered the 30 meter area. Van der Sar immediately threw the ball to Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong takes the ball, and the fans in the stands cheer together, hoping that Gao Xiaodong can show his skills and perform a long-distance attack.

Obviously, Gao Xiaodong didn't have a fever because it was his birthday. He then passed it to Scholes directly and ran forward to give Scholes the dominant power of attack.Scholes is very satisfied with his heart. Looking at the boy, he is arrogant and modest to his teammates, not to mention better than Rooney. Even Ronaldo was not as good as him.

Ferguson was a little surprised. He thought Gao Xiaodong would take the ball with him before. As Gao Xiaodong's position in Manchester United is his birthday, no one would say he took the ball with him. He didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to pass it directly.

"This boy can be a great leader." Ferguson nodded and some new ideas came into his mind.

Scholes passed the ball to Nani from side to side. Nani made a rapid breakthrough along the side road and saw Gao Xiaodong inserted into the 30 meter area. Nani didn't stick the ball and passed it to Gao Xiaodong directly.

Stoke City's defense against Gao Xiaodong is really tight. Even if it's such a quick counterattack opportunity, some people are watching Gao Xiaodong closely. Nani passes the ball, and depra, who is famous for throwing grenade out of bounds, smashes the ball directly to prevent Gao Xiaodong from getting the ball.

Gao Xiaodong's vision is wider than that of normal people. When he sees Hernandez behind his side, he skillfully rubs the ball to his back with the tip of his foot, and then jumps up to avoid depra's flying shovel.

When Gao Xiaodong rubbed the ball, the fans were puzzled. Gao Xiaodong rubbed the ball a little high. Gao Xiaodong had to avoid the flying shovel. After landing, he didn't know who robbed the ball. It was a mistake. Gao Xiaodong rubbed the ball consciously.

When the ball just reached Hernandez and Hernandez headed the ball to Berbatov, people knew that Gao Xiaodong passed it to Hernandez.

"What a wide field of vision!"

"Beautiful

"Imaginative!"

"With these two passes, it's time for Scholes to step back!"

"That's the enhanced version of Scholes!"

……

The fans are amazed, even Stoke City fans feel that Gao Xiaodong's two handling of the ball is very mature and reasonable.

Hernandez is also in good shape today. He saved time and gave Berbatov the chance to enter the penalty area when he headed the ball.

Berbatov handled the ball very well. As soon as he unloaded his chest, he led the ball into the restricted area and faced two Stoke City centre backs. After shaking continuously, Berbatov suddenly started to hit the goal, but he was still seen through by the guard. The ball hit the guard's leg and popped the bottom line.

Just now, Berbatov was full of goals, and didn't see Gao Xiaodong quickly jump into the top of the forbidden area. As long as he knocked his heel, Gao Xiaodong had a great chance to beat the defenders.

Although Berbatov can't miscalculate his goal and won a corner, the United fans still feel very sorry that Berbatov's vision is too narrow compared with Gao Xiaodong's, otherwise Gao Xiaodong might have scored.
