Chapter 1106

Before Manchester United went to the United States for summer training, Ferguson officially announced Gao Xiaodong's decision to be captain of Manchester United.

As for Gao Xiaodong's role as captain of Manchester United, it has been predicted for a long time. They think that it is only temporary for Manchester United to adopt the team Committee and take turns as captain. In other words, it is to prepare for Gao Xiaodong's position as captain because the time for Gao Xiaodong to transfer to Manchester United is too short to convince the public.

When Gary Neville retired suddenly, many people had this kind of premonition in their heart, because Gao Xiaodong had served as the vice captain of the national team, while Gary. After Neville's retirement, none of Manchester United's big men, whether Vidic or Ferdinand, Rooney or Fletcher, can beat the others. However, Ferguson has never appointed a captain. Many people have a hunch that Gao Xiaodong may become the youngest captain in the history of Manchester United. Now, everyone's hunch has come true. Gao Xiaodong has become the youngest captain in the history of Manchester United, and he is also the leader The first Asian player was captain.

As early as in the match between Manchester United and Lille in the Champions League group match on October 18, 2005, park Zhixing had the experience of captain. At that time, the 83rd minute substitute Park Zhixing took over the captain's armband from the outgoing Giggs. Because of the language barrier, park Zhixing didn't give the team's armband to Ferdinand and put it on his arm to be the captain of Manchester United for seven minutes, But this is only a misunderstanding after all, and it is temporary, and Gao Xiaodong is the real Manchester United captain.

Playing in a club like Manchester United is a great honor for Asian players. It's even more amazing to be able to stand firm and wear the captain's armband. After Ferguson announced that Gao Xiaodong was captain of Manchester United, many Asian fans said: Gao Xiaodong's success in European football has helped Chinese and even Asians rectify their names. He shows that in addition to Yao Ming, ordinary yellow people can also win a place in the strong western sports world, and even win the first place.

On the one hand, they are very happy to see Gao Xiaodong, a cunning and versatile player, become the leader of Manchester United. On the other hand, they are disappointed that the yellow people have stepped on their head in their dominant sport football. Therefore, after Ferguson announced the news, the European football network forum has performed very well Calm, no fans talked about the news in a big way.

Even inside Manchester United, there are people who resent Gao Xiaodong's captaincy. Vidic, who thinks he is the most promising captain, spread rumors of a possible transfer to Real Madrid after Ferguson announced Gao Xiaodong's captaincy. According to Vidic's agent, Ferguson even let a hairy boy be the captain. He doesn't think what Arsenal won with 19-year-old Fabregas as the captain Well, Vidic won't play around with Sir Alex with his last peak.

And another hopeful is that when Captain Ferdinand tweets on his own, he implicitly criticizes: "in terms of the younger captain, Manchester United are finally on par with Arsenal."

Fletcher is also unconvinced with Gao Xiaodong as captain. He is a straightforward man and is not afraid of Gao Xiaodong and Ferguson's anger. He directly told reporters that Gao Xiaodong is the most skillful and versatile player in Manchester United. Manchester United can't lack him, but it doesn't mean that he should be the captain of Manchester United, just like David and Ronaldo who were the most skillful but didn't become captain It's the same.

There are objections, of course, but more support.

Rooney, who is also hopeful to be captain, said: "Gao Xiaodong will become a great captain. He has unyielding fighting spirit and tenacious spirit. He is the real red devils."

Class 92 veteran Giggs is Manchester United's most prestigious player, he expressed his support for Ferguson's decision, "although Gao Xiaodong is young, he has been the winner of the golden ball award. He has the experience of being a team assistant in three teams, including Inter Milan. I believe he will not be inferior to Gary Neville."

Ferguson's decision is of course supported by the club. Manager David Gill told reporters that this is not a hasty decision. In fact, the team and the club have inspected Gao Xiaodong for half a season. The results show that Gao Xiaodong is worthy of the great title of Manchester United captain.

In addition to these big guys, the young people of Manchester United almost support Gao Xiaodong, who believes that Gao Xiaodong will lead Manchester United from glory to glory.

Manchester United's young players are very smart. They all know that Ferdinand, Vidic and Fletcher are all young and will retire soon. The future of Manchester United is higher than that of Rooney. Of course, they will not fight against the future leaders.

Gao Xiaodong got the news that he was going to be captain ahead of Ferguson's announcement. For this, Gao Xiaodong is very happy. His daughter-in-law has been a mother-in-law for many years. Now he has finally broken the European prejudice and officially become the captain of a big club.

Gao Xiaodong expressed his thanks to Ferguson, Manchester United team-mates and fans through press conference, twitter and microblog.

"Thank you for the trust of manager Ferguson, for the support of his teammates and for the love of the fans. It takes courage to let a 22-year-old captain, but I will prove to them that they made the right choice.

My feeling is very good. It's a great honor for me to be captain of such a great club. I will be in my second season at Manchester United. I have achieved so much in the first season. This is the result of our common struggle. Now I want to lead the whole team to achieve a higher dream, that is to surpass Liverpool in the Champions League, which is also great thing. I am very happy. I came to Manchester United as a player. Now I am not only the captain of Manchester United players, but also a fan. I love Manchester United more and more. It makes me feel very special to be the captain. “When the reporter asked Gao Xiaodong how he felt as the first Asian captain, Gao Xiaodong said, "as a Chinese player, it's a special feeling to be able to succeed in Manchester United and be captain of Manchester United, because I feel that I have won respect for the whole Chinese football and Asian football. Of course, it's not spring to let go alone. I hope more Asian players can play in European football "We should have a foothold in the international arena and achieve greater success."

Then the reporter asked Gao Xiaodong whether he wanted to be the captain of Cantona and Keane, or the captain of Bobbie Charlton and Robson. Gao Xiaodong replied: "they are all great captains. They have all won glory for Manchester United, but I will not be them or imitate them. I will be the unique Gao Xiaodong team in the history of Manchester United Long

There are also reporters in public, directly asked Gao Xiaodong how to view Ferdinand and Vidic against his remarks as captain? In this regard, Gao Xiaodong said that no decision will make everyone agree and satisfied. If he does well, those who don't support will become supportive. If he doesn't do well, those who support will also become non supportive. Therefore, he won't think much about it. He just wants to do a good job of the team leader.

Gao Xiaodong defused the reporter's provocation, showed the unique personality and wisdom of Chinese players, and won the praise of fans, teammates and coaches.
