Chapter 45 We Need Dong Fangzhuo
Knowing that he became a substitute, Dong Fangzhuo was not disappointed, nor was he unwilling.
he knows
I just don't have enough strength, and there is a big gap with Rooney.
Incomparable, at least temporarily.
Not jealous, nor hate.
Accept it.
But it doesn't mean that I will give in, admit defeat, admit defeat.
You can't think too much, you can only continue to work hard to make yourself better and stronger. Dong Fangzhuo doesn't know to what extent, anyway, he won't leave any regrets for himself.
"Man, I'll pass the ball to you when I get on the field in a while."
In the locker room, Ronaldo comforted.
Fortunately, there is also Ronaldo.
Dong Fangzhuo laughed.
I don't have Ronaldo, it's impossible for him to score so many goals recently.
If it was the previous life, he and Ronaldo had almost no intersection.
But in this life, fate bound him and Ronaldo tightly.
Dong Fangzhuo would rather believe that this is the greatest luck brought to him by God.
How can he, Dong Fangzhuo, let a player with five Ballon d'Ors pass the ball to him?
Totally impossible.
So he must learn to cherish, cherish the current Ronaldo.
It is undeniable that his cooperation with Ronaldo is the most tacit in training. Ferguson should be aware of this, but it is not enough for him and Ronaldo to cooperate tacitly. The entire offensive system must also be considered.
So no matter what, Dong Fangzhuo's starting game will always be the second option, not the first.
Regarding this point, the commentator of Sky Sports also felt sorry for Dong Fangzhuo.
"Actually, I personally think that it is not a big problem for Chinese Dong to replace Van Nistelrooy in the starting game, but recently Van Nistelrooy's condition has improved significantly in training. It is impossible for Ferguson to put him on the bench, like Van Nistelrooy. Players, press him when necessary, and then release him again, the combat effectiveness will definitely be doubled."
Ferguson will not abandon Van Nistelrooy. Van Nistelrooy has proved himself in the Eredivisie. He won the top scorer twice in a row in the 98-99 and 99-00 seasons. He also proved himself in the Premier League. He also won the 2002-03 season. top scorer.
At the age of 28, he is at the peak of his career. Unless Ferguson is stupid, he will not let him start.
"With the help of Rooney, a versatile player, Van Nistelrooy should be at home in the frontcourt, and scoring goals may become easier."
The commentator is quite optimistic about this pairing. Of course, he did not deny Dong Fangzhuo. He went on to say: "Of course we can't forget the contribution made by Chinese Dong Fangzhuo to Manchester United."
"Sometimes technology does not represent everything, and spirit may be more important. I think the spirit of Chinese Dong is the strongest in the current Manchester United team. If the game is at a stalemate and cannot break the goal, maybe Chinese Dong will play well." Bring some changes to the Manchester United team."
He affirmed Dong Fangzhuo's role. If Dong Fangzhuo could hear his words, I don't know if there would be a little comfort in his heart.
Although it was an away game, the Manchester United team was strong and strong, so they didn't need to have any worries at all. They turned their backs on the guest and bombarded Middlesbrough indiscriminately at the beginning.
Ferguson hasn't had such a happy lineup for a long time,
Thinking of all the depression a while ago, any team dared to fight against Manchester United, how could he not be presumptuous?
attack!
It's been a long time since I saw Manchester United's flood of offense.
Midfielders Keane, Scholes, Giggs, and Ronaldo seemed to be in a state of full blood, frantically sending the shells to the front.
Whether it is Rooney or Ruud van Nistelrooy can get enough support from them.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but Rooney dares to rush after holding the ball!
The 19-year-old genius made Middlesbrough's defense in chaos, unable to parry his breakthrough at all.
His light figure kept swaying in front of Middlesbrough's big penalty area. Although he was not as uninhabited, he was also very calm.
Few people can stop his progress.
Even Ronaldo at the far end was a little amazed.
How come Rooney smashed the ball with one move, left and right, and dunked the opportunity? He suddenly felt that as a striker, he was genuinely comfortable.
And I am really far away from the goal...
Only in the 13th minute of the game, Rooney assisted Ruud van Nistelrooy to score.
Rooney received a through ball from Giggs on the left side of the front field, and after throwing off Middlesbrough's right back on the left, he smashed the ball and cut to Middlesbrough's center.
Before the opponent's defender came up to grab it, Rooney made another smash to the left and cut into the Middlesbrough penalty area.
When Middlesbrough's defense was flying around, he was very determined to pass the ball with his left foot to Ruud van Nistelrooy. Van Nistelrooy leaned on the opponent's central defender, and scored with his left foot.
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
"Beautiful breakthrough, perfect goal!"
"The through ball from Giggs to Rooney was just right. Rooney was able to counter-offside successfully, and then used a continuous change of direction to cut in to the middle, broke through Middlesbrough's last line of defense and passed the ball to Ruud van Nistelrooy."
"In the whole breakthrough process, the thinking was quite clear. His purpose was very clear, that is to break through the entire Middlesbrough defense line and give Ruud van Nistelrooy an assist!"
"Pretty methodical."
"It's been a long time since a Manchester United striker has played so well! Rooney, he's a genius."
soon,
The commentator of Sky Sports forgot that he had affirmed Dong Fangzhuo.
"If any of the other Manchester United strikers had received the pass from Giggs, they would probably have just waded the ball to the bottom line and sent a cross into the box, or they didn't pull it out at all, they just ran. Going into the box and waiting for the ball, Rooney is completely different, he's not just a striker, so he's a starter for Manchester United and the others aren't."
The goal is indeed beautiful, it goes without saying.
Even Dong Fangzhuo stood up from the bench to cheer and gave applause.
United got off to another fantastic start, as they did in their previous two games.
"It looks like Manchester United are going to kill Middlesbrough again."
However, after conceding the ball, Middlesbrough seemed to be awakened.
Rooney became their key target, and the Middlesbrough coach directly sent a player to defend Rooney closely.
Soon Rooney fell silent.
Genius, in fact, is not really very powerful, as long as his space is limited.
Then,
Middlesbrough played harder, pushed the defense forward by more than ten meters, and compressed Manchester United's offensive depth.
The invincible Manchester United that Sky Sports commentators and Manchester United fans expected did not appear.
The first half is almost over, and the score is still 1:0.
Much beyond everyone's expectations.
how,
After scoring a goal,
Rooney and Van Nistelrooy?
"The two of them can't just stop performing like this!"
"Where's the fierce Rooney just now?"
"Why was he stared at?"
"Why did Ronaldo disappear on the right side?"
His voice just fell.
Middlesbrough made a quick counter-attack, crossing in from the left.
Then Manchester United was tragic...
"God!"
"It's actually flat!"
The narrator looked confused.
And at this time, in the away stands, the Manchester United fans finally rang Dong Fangzhuo.
"Dong Fangzhuo!"
"Dong Fangzhuo!"
"We need Dong Fangzhuo!"
To be precise, the Manchester United fans in the away stands are a group of Chinese fans in Manchester United uniforms.
Or in other words, Dong Fangzhuo's fans.
them?
Dong Fangzhuo raised his head slightly.
There is such a little touch...
