Chapter 570 Clown
In the cold wind of November, the hands of Dong Fangzhuo and Cristiano Ronaldo were tightly held together again.
This is the story of two men on the green field.
They reunited for glory and friendship.
Three days later, at 23:00 on November 18th, Beijing time (15:00 local time in the UK), Bramall Lane Stadium, the home ground of Sheffield United.
"Modric passed the ball diagonally, and the ball went straight into the left side of Sheffield United."
"Dong,"
"Dong,"
"He used his speed to break through Claude Davis on the left, Davis fell down, Dong took the ball into the penalty area and he could shoot."
"Crosspass,"
"He chose the cross,"
"Ronaldo,"
"Ronaldo followed up in time and pushed the ball easily with his right foot."
"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!"
"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!"
"In the 13th minute, Manchester United took the lead and Dong assisted Ronaldo for the first goal."
"Perfect coordination, fierce offensive."
"This is no surprise. Manchester United's offense is so lightning-fast, you never know when they will strike a fatal blow."
…
"Ronaldo,"
"Ronaldo,"
"Nice pass!"
"The ball flew into the Sheffield United penalty area, Dong,"
"He didn't shoot."
"Hit the ball with his right heel to Ronaldo,
Ronaldo led the ball and passed the opponent's centre-back. "
"Shoot!"
“goooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!"
"With two goals, Manchester United will definitely win. In the 40th minute, 2:0!"
…
"At the end of the game, Manchester United's two stars shined, Ronaldo scored twice, Dong scored a goal, and both sides assisted each other. Manchester United won the 13th consecutive league victory! Now, they can concentrate on competing in the Champions League, and then, with Chelsea’s showdown!”
After this battle, Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo scored the same number of goals again. The two tied for the top of the scorer list, both scoring 11 goals. 11 goals in 13 rounds. In the history of the Premier League, there has never been such an amazing partnership, not even when Andy Cole and Yorke were combined.
Chelsea coach Mourinho once again shook his head in front of the TV. Although Chelsea won 4:0 and Manchester United also won 3:0 that year, his team can still only be ranked behind Manchester United. Everything has to wait until the Champions League. After the end, the two teams faced off at Old Trafford.
Three days later, Manchester United's first team arrived in the northern German city of Bremen.
"Dong has not been included in the starting lineup. He needs to rest before facing the next battle." At the pre-match press conference, Ferguson told everyone that he did not put Dong Fangzhuo in the away lineup against Bremen.
"He is an iron man, but he also needs a rest. He has eight Champions League goals and no one can catch up with him, haha."
Ferguson took the rotation as a matter of course and smiled happily. He asked Dong Fangzhuo to carefully prepare for the battle with Chelsea.
Rooney was pushed to the front line, with Rossi and Ronaldo assisting Rooney on both sides.

"Shameless Ferguson, shameless Manchester United!" 》The Spanish side is in trouble because Ferguson did not put Dong Fangzhuo in the squad. "World Sports News" madly bombarded Ferguson, "Dong is not in the squad. Their actions told us that he wanted to lose to Werder Bremen." , and then for Barcelona to be eliminated, it’s too bad, Barcelona is finished.”
"World Sports News" has no confidence at all and believes that Manchester United will deliberately lose to Bremen in the absence of Dong Fangzhuo.
"Vicious English people lack sportsmanship. Chelsea do it, Manchester United do it, no team has morals."
Even before the game started, they decided that Manchester United would definitely lose. Even the betting company was not optimistic about Manchester United winning Bremen in the away game. They gave Bremen a half handicap.
But the course of the game was beyond everyone's expectations. Manchester United still controlled the midfield, and Bremen still couldn't find a way to deal with it.
"Ferguson is now very bold and dares to rotate directors. In fact, Manchester United's current midfielder is very strong. As long as Modric, Scholes and Carrick play at the same time, Manchester United can control the game and have no worries about scoring. Opportunity. Ronaldo and Rooney were very active after the start, frequently causing trouble on both wings, especially Ronaldo, who was like a sports car with a full tank of gas."
"Compared to the first confrontation, Schaff's choice in this game was very low-key. Diego's position was very deep, but this did not make Bremen's midfield tougher. Bremen was able to win at home. Barcelona may not be able to beat Manchester United, because Manchester United is fast and hard and does not give the Bremen players time to think."
Lineker analyzed the game and believed that Manchester United would not lose this game. "People always focus on Manchester United's forward, but in fact Manchester United's midfield is the most terrifying. Everyone underestimates Cardiff. The three midfielders composed of Rick, Scholes and Modric are too strong in the midfield. Unless they play like Blackburn, Bremen will have no chance, and Bremen is not as good as Blackburn. Players."
Sure enough, in the 26th minute of the game, Manchester United scored. Rooney broke through on the left wing and caused a corner kick. Modric took the ball out, and Ronaldo jumped high from the back point and scored with a header.
The score of 1:0 ended the first half. In the second half, Bremen strengthened their offense. As a result, Modric seized the loophole in Bremen's defense and passed directly to Rooney. Rooney went to the meeting alone and changed the score to 2:0.
When Manchester United finally won 2:0 against Werder Bremen, Barcelona rejoiced because Manchester United gave them hope of qualifying from the group.
Ferguson mocked Barcelona at the post-match press conference: "Fortunately Manchester United won, otherwise I would have been disgusted by a certain team. They should thank us instead of jumping up and down like a clown before the game. .”
"Destiny is always in your own hands."
"Even if we are not eliminated in the group stage, will it still be the same in the knockout rounds?"
Ferguson shrugged, meaning that Barcelona was like this. Even if they qualified from the group, wouldn't they still be abused in the knockout rounds?
With 15 points from five games, Manchester United has secured first place in the group. The final round is even more meaningless. It is expected that all substitutes will play against Levski Sofia at home.
Manchester United's league rival Chelsea also successfully qualified, and the next two teams can prepare for the weekend's battle at Tianwangshan.
"Manchester United is very, very strong." Chelsea coach Mourinho said about Manchester United after the Champions League ended. "Manchester United's performance this season has been quite stable, but we are ready to face them. We will meet at Old Trafford. It’s a tough battle and I hope my players can do their best to fight for the league title.”
