Chapter 121

Frustrated Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo stood together.

This game can be used as a negative proof of his passing ability. Manchester United's goal seemed to come from his assist, but if it weren't for Ruud van Nistelrooy's hard work, the chance would not have existed at all. What's more, there are countless opportunities wasted by Ronaldo.

"Go back to the locker room and wash it up, wait to be sprayed by Sir Alex..."

Just think on your heels and know what's going on in the locker room. Although the game doesn't have much to do with him, he doesn't want to see the team say goodbye to this season's league champion early. He believes that if he gets so many opportunities on the court, he shouldn't waste so many times.

a few steps away...

1 to 1, looking at the glaring score on the scoreboard, Rooney, who had lost control of his temper at the end of the game, lowered his head. It would have been great if the goalpost had scored in the first half. Rooney must be regretting not being able to seal the victory early.

Looking at the backs of Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo going away, Rooney found that his feet were a little weak...

Perhaps, you should talk to them?

Rooney once again had such an idea.

He felt that the distance with Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo was too far away.

"United have the quality to catch up to Arsenal and Chelsea, sometimes they play fantastic football, like in the first half today. I think Sir Alex Ferguson is building another great team now, he already has With great players, Manchester United can catch up to Chelsea, but now, I think, this year should belong to Chelsea."

At the end of the game, even Lineker had to admit that Manchester United seemed to have no chance.

Manchester United was tied by the "country team" Fulham at the last moment under the excellent situation of leading by one goal in the away game, thus losing a good opportunity to narrow the points gap with the top team. At the press conference after the game, coach Ferguson regretted that Manchester United had lost a great opportunity to catch up with the top team.

Reflecting on Diop's equalizing goal a few minutes ago, Ferguson still feels extremely regretful: "I couldn't believe my eyes. This result completely broke the amazing performance we created tonight. Our luck is really bad. , two absolute chances but both hit the post, what makes me feel relieved is that we controlled the rhythm of the game, the worse thing is that our two strongest competitors both scored three points yesterday, and we Didn't take the opportunity to keep it up."

"When fate is in our own hands, we are not as good as we can. But we played with confidence in the game, we played good football, and if we are lucky one day, we may play games like this. Five or six. In the end, we conceded two points, which should not have been conceded."

Ferguson is right to complain that his team controlled the tempo of the game for so long, Fletcher and Rooney both hit the post before Ruud van Nistelrooy scored, the only downside was the failure to continue Expanding the results, but in the final stage of the game, they played very badly, ruining the victory they deserved, and Manchester United's 7-game winning streak ended.

In the end, Diop's goal cost them dearly for their squandering of chances. And it is this performance that reflects the immaturity of the current Manchester United team. Compared with Chelsea, the score gap on the same Fulham team made Manchester United see their shortcomings.

European Golden Globe winner Andriy Shevchenko said a few days ago that he admires Rooney and Ronaldo very much, and believes that they can thrive in Manchester United. As proof, Rooney won the "Golden Boy Award" representing the best European U21 before the game this Monday, while Ronaldo ranked second in this selection. However, the draw against Fulham is undoubtedly more than Ferguson's "hairdryer" to remind the teenagers that talent alone is not enough.

The first is Rooney. Although the 3 goals in the first game were brilliant, he only scored 5 goals in the next 9 league games.

The shooting success rate is just 20%, and it even takes every 160 minutes to gain something.

What should be more self-examination is Ronaldo. The Portuguese is not without the ability to stand up and change the situation on the field at critical moments, but the link that needs to be improved is to show off his dribbling skills and ignore the echo with his teammates.

This season, the Portuguese played 17 times in the league and made a total of 105 crosses, but only 6 successful assists! In sharp contrast to this is Chelsea's Ruben and Arsenal's Reyes. The Dutch and Spaniards have joined the Premier League for a much shorter time than Ronaldo, but they have already played their own roles and even played key roles in the game. . Among them, Ruben and Reyes' ability to assess the situation and integrate their personal abilities into the team's tactical system, rather than self-inflated blindly doing it alone, is precisely an important factor for their success.

Lineker rarely wrote an article on the BBC's personal column, supporting Dong Fangzhuo-it's time for China Dong to become the real main force of the Manchester United team.

The content is as follows:

In fact, Dong Fangzhuo has set a positive example at Old Trafford. He himself does not have any outstanding talent, but "diligence can make up for one's weakness", his tenacious fighting spirit that never gives up and his rare active fighting among forwards won the early recognition of the fans, and also made him the natural "first" when the top scorer Van Nistelrooy was absent a choice".

Technically, Dong Fangzhuo made good use of his various experiences to integrate into the game, and actively retreated to participate in passing or pulling to the side, which often made the team's offensive advancement smoother. Moreover, being willing to be an engineer did not affect the effect he should achieve as a forward. He scored 5 goals in 15 appearances in the league (5 starts, 10 substitutes), still ranking third in the team.

More importantly, Dong Fangzhuo joined Manchester United for 4 million pounds, which is much more reasonable than Rooney's 30 million and Ronaldo's 12 million. And related to the performance after joining, Dong Fangzhuo has become one of the few examples of Ferguson's successful investment in recent years. In the second game on behalf of Manchester United, Dong Fangzhuo was hit with a scalp when he was fighting for a header, but the scene of insisting on participating despite the risk of blood loss and fainting was shocking. This alone is worth learning from Ronaldo, who only complains to the referee when his opponent shovels him.

So, why couldn't such Dong Fangzhuo be the most reliable player of Manchester United?

Dong Fangzhuo saw this article, and also saw the comments of many Manchester United fans on it. Most of them were supportive, and some continued to choose not to trust it.

Anyway, very present.

There is a sound, which means that this is something that cannot be ignored...

The training ground was a bit dull, everyone was training with their heads down, Ronaldo and Rooney were training with all their strength, and Dong Fangzhuo was not far behind.

Everyone has to prove that in the next home game against Crystal Palace, he is no longer a waste on the front line...
