Chapter 35 - The Battle of White Hart Lane

Fanny's mood probably won't get better in the short term.

Because Rooney really came back, in the middle of this week, Rooney finally recovered from his injury, and then joined the team's training.

Manchester United's strike competition has intensified.

He really felt the pressure.

As England's most popular new star and most popular striker, Rooney's limelight will definitely overwhelm any striker.

Although in China, the news about Dong Fangzhuo is still constant. Every day, several articles can be poured out on the front page, praising him in different ways, and even fabricating a lot of fake news.

But in England, the media are reporting on Rooney.

The time to wait for his comeback is too long and too long. Everyone wants to see Rooney's debut at Manchester United and see him playing in the No. 8 shirt of Manchester United.

He is the future king of Manchester United.

But in training, Ferguson was not eager to put Rooney on the side of the main lineup.

He is a patient head coach. It is impossible for Rooney to give him the main position as soon as he comes back. This is very unfair to other players.

The Uruguayan striker Forlan who just left Manchester United before, Ferguson gave Forlan a full year and a half to play the main force, this is Ferguson's patience.

It's a pity that Fran still didn't seize the opportunity and left for Spain.

It's also strange that as soon as Fran arrived at the España Stadium, he immediately scored goals like a monster.

Maybe,

His fate is not in tune with Manchester United, otherwise how to explain?

Although Ruud van Nistelrooy played mediocrely in the last two games, Ferguson still placed him as the main striker to partner with Dong Fangzhuo.

Yes,

Dong Fangzhuo is still the main force in training.

He is still a striker partner with Van Nistelrooy. Although there is no guarantee that he will be the main force in the next game against Tottenham, at least he will still be in training.

If the training continues to be good, then he can still lock a starting position.

He no longer distinguishes between training and competition. The competition is the same, and the training is the same. He will do his best.

It was as fierce as a caged lion that had just been released, and even the assistant coach had to remind this guy to play football more leisurely.

It's okay to fight, but don't fight to get injured, whether it is yourself or your teammates.

Fanny is also very hard-working, but in the wrong mood, but every time he falls down, he likes to yell and complain a few words.

But Van Nistelrooy is still in good shape, at least he scored two goals in training.

Dong Fangzhuo was the most active. The key is that there is Ronaldo as a helper. In order to let Dong Fangzhuo also complete the goal, he gave Dong Fangzhuo assists to the death. It is not difficult to score a few training goals.

But Dong Fangzhuo always believes that his scoring method is too simple, and it is not enough to just eat cakes. He hopes that he can have more scoring methods, but at present he can only eat cakes.

Heading, long-range shots, free kicks, and breakthrough shots are all a bit far from him, except for headers that can make some achievements in the near future.

So recently he has been pulling Ronaldo to practice headers together. Ronaldo also has this idea. The two coincided with each other and started to hug each other to keep warm.

Both parties understand their own strengths and weaknesses, so naturally they hit it off.

Ronaldo's jumping ability is terrifying, which Dong Fangzhuo can only look up to, without his terrifying jumping ability, but at least his header skills must be improved day by day.

Rooney, who was on the bench, didn't score a goal and was in mediocre form. Maybe he didn't dare to use too much force because he had just returned from injury.

As for Saha, his state has been very unstable recently, a bit like a nerve knife.

Solskjaer naturally needless to say.

Ryan Giggs' injury, so Smith temporarily stay in the left midfielder position.

Solskjaer, Dong Fangzhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy are the only forwards that Ferguson can trust.

As for Rooney, Ferguson still feels that Rooney should be allowed to take care of himself.

So when the roster for the game was announced on Saturday, Dong Fangzhuo was still on the starting list, while Rooney just entered the substitute list.

However, Rooney is really not far away from playing.

At the pre-match press conference, Ferguson continued to tease Tottenham's point-giving boy theory, of course, to increase the confidence of Manchester United players.

"It's always interesting to play against Tottenham because we never feel home and away."

Although it didn't say clearly that Tottenham was giving points to the boy, it was almost the same.

Who doesn't know that Manchester United will be excited when they see Tottenham?

"Why didn't Rooney start?"

"Because Rooney is not ready yet, and Dong has been in good form, I am optimistic that he will continue to solve the game."

After firing Hoddle last season, Tottenham ushered in the Frenchman Santini in the new season, and also introduced young players such as Sean Davis in the transfer market, and the team's strength has increased.

Because the team itself has a terrifying front line and offensive power, once Santini can adjust the team's defense, it is not out of reach for the veteran team Tottenham to reproduce the strength of Gascoigne and Lineker. matter.

Young talents like Defoe, Robbie Keane and Kanoute are feared in the Premier League and all have excellent career futures.

"Tottenham is a point boy? Manchester United will lose at White Hart Lane!" the Frenchman Santini shouted before the game, very angry at the point boy.

However, although he said so, the results are not as powerful as he said. So far this season, the results of the Tottenham team led by him can be said to be quite bad, even worse than when Houllier led the team last season. Big cut.

As he doesn't speak English very well, communication has become the biggest problem. Tottenham's results could have been better, but his conflict with the assistant coach has become public, and the dressing room is in chaos.

But in any case, at least you can't lose to Manchester United in words, right?

※※※※

A big battle in a few days, the Premier League game will always be like this.

"Dong, Rooney is on the bench. I guess the next game will be the main force."

During the warm-up at White Hart Lane, Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo talked about Rooney.

"He will definitely play the main force."

"He's going to be the main player. I guess you have to go to the bench to watch the drinking fountains."

"Heh, are you provoking me? Are you afraid that I won't score?"

"Why must it be me? Not Fanny?" Dong Fangzhuo frowned slightly, not thinking what Ronaldo said was right.

"I'm just guessing."

"If you continue to score goals in the game, I think Ferguson will be reluctant to let you start, then it may be Ruud van Nistelrooy. Anyway, someone has to make room for him."

"No matter who it is, it can't be me." Dong Fangzhuo fixed his eyes, looking at the unfamiliar White Hart Lane...
