Chapter 16 This Manchester United Is No Match for Us

After losing by such a huge score, Southampton's players were naturally very frustrated. In the tunnel, Dong Fangzhuo put his right hand on Rooney's arm.

"Don't be depressed,"

"It's not your fault."

It’s not at Manchester United, nor at Chelsea or Manchester City. Isn’t it normal to lose? It's just that Rooney is not used to it. In the past, winning was commonplace in wealthy clubs, but now he will naturally feel unhappy when losing...

Gerrard also had a downcast face, and the 34-year-old also refused to admit defeat.

"Steven, you played really well today."

Dong Fangzhuo went to chat with Gerrard again. He had this special status. As the boss behind Southampton, he didn't want these two old guys to be discouraged. The league was long and the team needed them.

Even Leicester City can achieve incredible results, can't this Southampton do the same? In fact, Dong Fangzhuo really has selfish motives...

"Your body looks like it still has at least three years to reach its peak. Take good care of them. Maybe there will be a surprise at the end of the season?"

Dong Fangzhuo does not regard himself as an outsider at all...

※※※※

With two wins and two draws, Manchester United has finally moved up one spot in the standings, ranking 9th in the league, without being widened. However, Manchester City and Chelsea still took three points, and the distance between them and these two teams has not been narrowed. , and in the scorer list, the distance between Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo and Messi is getting farther and farther. The latter two scored twice again, opening up a goal gap.

The news after the game basically focused on Manchester City and Chelsea. Although Manchester United won, the media preferred to report on the rivalry between Chelsea and Manchester City, the battle between Messi and Ronaldo, and Manchester United and Dong Fangzhuo were all downplayed... …

The feeling of being temporarily away from the championship group also makes Manchester United fans really uncomfortable. Just like in previous years when Ferguson was not at Manchester United, Manchester City fans no longer discuss Manchester United. They only have Chelsea in their eyes. In restaurants and pubs, all Manchester City fans talk about is Chelsea and Ronaldo.

"When the international break is over, after playing the Champions League and facing Chelsea at home, Manchester City will definitely be able to defeat Chelsea and then sit alone at the top of the list!"

"Guardiola and Messi can definitely beat Mourinho and Ronaldo."

They are looking to the future, and Manchester United fans are also looking to the future. In that round of the league, Manchester United's opponent was not easy to deal with. That was their old rival Liverpool, but Manchester United was going to Anfield.

Every year, the same story is repeated...

The international competition is finally here, but it is a disaster for big clubs like Manchester United. Other teams may be resting, but clubs like Manchester United, Manchester City, and Chelsea basically have their players to participate in national team games. , after a week, I don’t know what their state will be like, and I don’t expect how good the state will be, but I will be satisfied if the ball is not injured.

As a result, the tragedy is as high-profile as the idea is low-key.

Manchester United came back from this international competition with another loss. French international Schneiderlin strained the muscle of his left thigh when he played for the fourth time on behalf of the French team, and Argentinian Di Maria sent an assist to Messi. , directly sprained his left ankle, and even Belgian international Fellaini, who came on as a substitute for the England team, sprained his waist during the confrontation.

"this……"

After receiving the injury report, Ferguson directly greeted all the national teams of these players. Because of the needs of the European Cup, it was understandable that Schneiderlin and Fellaini were injured, but Di Maria's injury was too painful. It was just an ordinary friendly match, and Di Maria started both He went out and risked his life, but now it's tragic, Messi scored a goal, nothing happened, and he is sitting on the hospital bed.

The depleted Manchester United's combat effectiveness has once again dropped a lot. With two defensive midfielders and a winger, including Rashford, Manchester United is actually missing almost half of its main force.

Ferguson was glad that Dong Fangzhuo did not go back to participate in any friendly match. Manchester United could accept anyone missing, but Dong Fangzhuo cannot be missing.

He did not forget Bastian Schweinsteiger, but after a week of training with the reserve team,

Ferguson finally moved Bastian Schweinsteiger to the first team again.

Nowadays, Schweinsteiger is very important. With no one available, Schweinsteiger got a chance and must prove himself. If he can't play again, maybe Ferguson will get rid of him.

Manchester United don't feed useless people on their bench.

However, judging from the training status, Schweinsteiger is not in very good condition. His defensive level is not good, and his attack has no characteristics. He just hopes to pass the ball to Dong Fangzhuo's feet...

I have to say that Bastian Schweinsteiger is really old, although he is not very old, only 32.

After all, Ferguson was dissatisfied with him and could only seek new changes.

Ashley Young was mentioned in the midfield, and the left back was handed over to Blind. In addition, young player Lingard had more opportunities to join the main team.

In the Champions League in midweek, Ferguson arranged a new formation, 4231. The four defenders are Valencia, Jones, Rojo, Blind, the defensive midfielder is Lingard and Ashley Young, and the front three are The first players are Mata, Dong Fangzhuo and Rashford, and the center is Mbappe.

The lineup is correct, but the personnel are somewhat nondescript.

Against Wolfsburg at home, Ferguson still dared to play. As a result, the team won a difficult 1:0 at home. The game was extremely ugly. The goal was still Dong Fangzhuo. Dong Fangzhuo knocked on the door of Wolfsburg with a long shot in the 13th minute. After that, the two teams did not make any achievements. .

This seems to be the ugliest game Manchester United has played in the past two years. There are only 10 times and 4 hits on the door frame.

Needless to say, the performance was met with immediate criticism from the English media.

The Times said:

"The worst Manchester United in three years! The league victory is not a fig leaf for Manchester United. In the Champions League, they began to show their sluggishness. Such Manchester United is not the real Manchester United. A 1:0 victory cannot cover up the ugliness of Manchester United. Today's Manchester United team Besides Wang Dong, who else can do it?"

The "Manchester Evening News" has a more pessimistic view - starting from this season, Manchester United may be replaced by Manchester City. No matter whether it is domestic or foreign, it cannot be compared with Manchester City. Time will gradually reveal Manchester United's original shape. They are no longer able to compete in these two countries. With the championship launched on this battlefield, Ferguson should now start to introduce defenders and buy a world-class forward.

Every day, there is such news bombardment, which is very annoying. Anyway, I am becoming less and less optimistic about Manchester United. Even Manchester United's weekend opponents underestimated Manchester United.

Liverpool fans discussed Manchester United with confidence on the forum.

"This Manchester United is no match for us."
