Chapter 164 Time Bomb
"Hahahaha... Chinese Dong replaced Henry. This is the funniest joke I have ever heard."
On the last day of the winter transfer period, Dong Fangzhuo became the target of jokes from fans across England. Individually, Dong Fangzhuo's current ability is no problem, but if you compare him with Henry, there is no comparison.
Dong Fangzhuo: He has just emerged at Manchester United this season. As a newcomer, he has climbed up the ladder step by step at Manchester United. In the eyes of Chinese fans, he is the little prince of Manchester United.
Henry: A super striker who has almost won the Grand Slam of football. In addition to a Ballon d'Or and a Champions League, he is the king of Highbury and the king of guns in the eyes of fans all over the world.
Moreover, the worth of the two people is even more incomparable. Judging from Dong Fangzhuo's current performance, the worth of 8 million pounds is low. It is estimated that it can be doubled, but Henry's worth? As the most difficult and hot striker in this period of time, his worth is probably 40-50 million pounds. This is still a conservative estimate.
Dong Fangzhuo naturally saw the news and was glad that he did not talk nonsense in front of the media. This reminded him of what Li Yi said to the media before - my ball protection is like Henry, and then his nickname became Li Emperor Yi. This nickname can never be washed away for the rest of my life.
However, does the prince and general Xiang Ning have the guts? In the Battle of Highbury, it is still unknown who will win. What will be the reaction if we win at Highbury?
He is looking forward to the away game at Highbury.
Of course, the mood of Chinese fans is also very complicated. The English look down on Dong Fangzhuo, which makes them very unhappy.
"Although the Gun King is good, King Dong is not bad either. Don't get slapped in the face when the time comes."
"I believe that Xiao Dong will stop their mouths with goals, and Arsenal will definitely lose to Manchester United."

The smoke from the FA Cup has not completely dissipated yet;
People have already focused their attention on Highbury Stadium. On Tuesday night, local time in the UK, Arsenal will face their arch-rival Manchester United at home in the 25th round of the Premier League. For the Gunners led by Wenger, there are too many reasons to win Manchester United - the end of the 49-game unbeaten myth. " The grievances and resentments that occurred after the "Pizzagate" incident, the elimination of the League Cup, and the direct participation in the UEFA Champions League next season...
Facing Arsenal, who has long announced that he will take revenge at home, Manchester United coach Ferguson, who is accustomed to big scenes, still seems very calm - at least on the surface. It is no wonder that Mourinho, who has been in the limelight recently, also publicly expressed his desire to pay homage to his boss. The prince has become a teacher.
On the night of February 1st at Highbury, endless abuse awaited the Manchester United general, but Ferguson firmly believed that his disciple had enough experience to handle big scenes:
"There will be a hostile atmosphere there, but our players have experienced far worse atmospheres in their careers. Giggs, Keane, Scholes and the Neville brothers have all been at the club for many years. , they have experienced a lot in these years, and they know how to face everything."
He then cited the example of the Anfield battle: "Almost two weeks ago, we were at Anfield. The battle between Manchester United and Liverpool was not much worse than this one. The atmosphere at that time was enough to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. But we have to keep fighting and the Leeds-Manchester United game is like a melting pot. It doesn't have the same tradition as the Arsenal game but Highbury will be unbelievable."
Regarding the grudges between the two clubs for more than a year, Ferguson also showed the demeanor of an old coach: "We went there to compete. We have a good discipline system in our club, and this is not accidental. All members must abide by it and I am proud of it.”
When talking about the possible outcome of this focus battle, Ferguson said: "If it is a draw, neither side will be satisfied, and Chelsea will be the biggest winner. If we draw and Chelsea beat Blackburn, then They only need to win 10 games, and it will be too difficult to catch them by then."
However, Ferguson changed the topic and brought the topic to Dong Fangzhuo.
"Yesterday, the whole of England was laughing at Dong, thinking that he could not match Henry, but I want to tell everyone that he is less than 20 years old. And he does not need to match Henry. Where is the 20-year-old Henry? He has just signed with Monaco Club He signed his first professional contract, and he only scored 9 goals that season, but look at Dong, how many goals has he scored for Manchester United this season?"
"Just wait, one day he will slap you in the face." People laughed at Dong, weren't they just laughing at his vision? Of course Ferguson is unhappy, and Dong Fangzhuo's performance this season is obvious to all and is quite excellent. Why should he be ridiculed by the media and ridiculed by England fans?
"Perhaps, the board of directors told the world in this game that the consequences of underestimating him will be tragic."

This is the third time the Red Devils have faced the Gunners this season.
If Manchester United can win against Arsenal on the road, it will also end Arsenal's 32-game unbeaten run at home in the league.
Both Manchester United and Arsenal can only maintain their title hopes by winning teams, and Arsenal also hopes to take the opportunity to revenge. The defeat at Old Trafford last October forced them to end their 49-game unbeaten record in the league.
In this game, Keane partnered in the midfield with Fletcher and Scholes, who are celebrating their 21st birthday today. Sylvester replaced Brown and returned to the starting lineup, while Ruud van Nistelrooy and Saha were still placed on the bench.
Toure is still absent due to suspension, and Sigan and Campbell partner as central defenders.
Arsenal lineup (4-4-2): Almunia; Laurent, Campbell, Sigan, Ashley Cole; Ljungberg, Flamini, Vieira, Pires; Borg Camp, Henry
Manchester United lineup (4-3-3): Carroll; Gary Neville, Ferdinand, Silvester, Heinze; Fletcher, Keane, Scholes; Ronaldo, Rooney, Dong Fangzhuo .
The weakness lies with Sigan.
As soon as he came on the field, Dong Fangzhuo targeted Arsenal's substitute central defender Xigan.
Dong Fangzhuo knows Xigan very well, the legendary time bomb. This was due to the fact that every time Manchester United played, he always sat in front of the TV to watch Manchester United's games.
This guy in Xigan has a weak psychological quality. He always makes his own goals and often makes low-level mistakes. Dong Fangzhuo did not hope that Xigan would score an own goal in the game, but it would definitely be better to toss Xigan than picking on Campbell.
Although Xigan once won the best player in Ligue 1, Dong Fangzhuo decided that he would find an opportunity in this game...
