Chapter 61 Sleepwalking in Prague

This is just a small episode, Dong Fangzhuo has taken a small step for himself, but it is a big step for his life.

If he decides to change, be brave.

Except for his rough technique, there was nothing wrong with his shot this time, but it was a pity that he missed by a tiny bit and flew into the stands.

At least it shows that he has a way to create shooting opportunities.

According to the normal situation in the past, after he got the ball just now, he should pass it to his teammates immediately, pass the ball to Saha, or slow down the speed of attack, give the ball to Scholes in the middle, or wait for the side Giggs from the road comes up.

But he chose his own way.

And his shot seems to have caught the attention of his teammates.

Giggs saw his desire to shoot.

Then, he dribbled the ball from the wing and tried to pass it to Dong Fangzhuo.

With his first successful experience, Dong Fangzhuo became more courageous.

Of course, he can't play one trick and eat it all over the world, nor can he always use the oxtail.

The interests of the team are the most important, and he will only do this when the right time appears.

He still passes when it's time to pass.

Giggs' passes were just right, and Dong Fangzhuo, who was on the edge, was very comfortable, but he chose to pass the ball at the first time. Saha's position in the middle is very good after all.

His left-footed cross accurately passed the ball to Saha's feet.

low ball.

Saha leaned on the opponent's central defender, and shot directly with his left foot, but was caught by the goalkeeper and missed again!

The goalkeeper saved the ball, but the ball slowly flew out of the penalty area and landed at the feet of Giggs.

Giggs did not choose to stop the ball. Before the ball hit the ground, he pushed the ball directly with his left foot and sent the ball to Dong Fangzhuo, who came from the left to the middle.

Dong Fangzhuo's running speed was very fast. When he caught up with the ball, the opponent immediately came up with a central defender, trying to block Dong Fangzhuo's advancing route.

But when Dong Fangzhuo touched the ball, the instep of his right foot quickly buckled to the left, dribbling the ball into the penalty area, and easily got rid of the opponent's interception!

pretty! Sir Alex exclaimed from the sidelines.

But Dong Fangzhuo seized this close chance and shot again with his left foot.

This time, his left foot was pressed very low, and when he shot, the arch of his foot was stretched straight.

Boom!

The ball ran to the left side of the goal and went into the net!

"pretty!"

Sir Alex once again said beautiful.

One was to praise his extraordinary way, and the other was to praise him for this goal.

There was thunderous cheers on the bench, it seemed that everyone had forgotten Dong Fangzhuo's clumsy oxtail dribble before.

Manchester United lead 1-0 away.

Dong Fangzhuo is like this. Although he does not have gorgeous skills at his feet, he can always score goals in his own way.

Ronaldo blinked, a little in disbelief.

Unexpectedly, Dong Fangzhuo became more and more brave, and he really dared to show off his skills in the competition and use what he had learned in training.

This second time, he succeeded and broke down the door.

Dong Fangzhuo scored a goal with only two shots. Compared with Saha, he is much more efficient.

Saha hit four goals and didn't score one.

After taking the lead, the next game became easier. Manchester United continued to control the game. If Sparta Prague wanted to equalize, they had to press out, so Manchester United had more chances.

It's just that Saha then wasted two more chances, so Manchester United could only end the first half with a score of 1:0.

By half-time, Ferguson had started warming up with Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy on the sidelines at the same time, and it looked like he wanted to get them on, ready for Arsenal's game after all.

This intention is also very obvious, which means that Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy may debut as the main players in Arsenal's game.

At 60 minutes, Rooney and Van Nistelrooy replaced Dong Fangzhuo and Saha at the same time.

Dong Fangzhuo has nothing to be depressed about. After all, he scored a goal and has already fulfilled the task of starting the game very well.

Saha's face was not good-looking. He finally made a start, but wasted so many opportunities, and then he was substituted without scoring.

But soon he discovered that he was not the most unlucky one. Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who replaced them, were frequently violated in front of the opponent's big penalty area.

Opponents used rougher fouls against United's forwards, which was perhaps the most practical way for them defensively.

"Damn it, are they kicking football or people!" Dong Fangzhuo sat peacefully on the bench, already put on thick clothes, and clearly heard Ferguson swearing.

Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs took turns to take free kicks in front of the penalty area, but they didn't score!

The score of 1:0 has been stalemate for nearly half an hour!

Manchester United's players were getting more and more pressure, and they were obviously anxious by the players of Sparta Prague. It seemed that if they didn't score a goal, it would be difficult for them to quell the anger in their hearts.

But the more this is the more likely to go wrong, in the 84th minute, Ronaldo dribbled the ball on the right and was cut off!

Sparta Prague launched a quick counterattack, their forwards formed a single-handedly, Manchester United goalkeeper Howard looked powerless in the face of the opponent's forwards.

1:1 draw!

!

Under the excellent situation, Manchester United was actually tied.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the culprit. It was he who was intercepted with the ball and got this counterattack goal.

Poor Ronaldo! Dong Fangzhuo shook his head off the court and glanced at Ferguson not far away.

Ferguson was so angry that his face turned purple, and he probably wanted to kill someone.

Xindao, if it is really a draw, Ronaldo will definitely be scolded after the game, and he will also be criticized by the media.

This is the weakest opponent in the group stage. It would be really unreasonable to lose three points.

Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy woke up like a dream, and they realized that they hadn't helped Manchester United score after more than half an hour!

However, it was too late.

A draw is already quite a satisfactory result for Sparta Prague, they cannot allow Manchester United to score again.

In the end they held on to a 1:1 draw, and Manchester United was eventually tied.

Ferguson was really pissed off. The four forwards took turns to play, but they only scored one goal and failed to win.

In the away dressing room he went into a rage and yelled at almost everyone...

The locker room was quiet, no one dared to speak.

It was a shitty game, two points for nothing.

The English media reported the result of the game immediately, and the Times of London directly satirized Manchester United.

"Sitting on the top four strikers, Manchester United actually took a nap in Prague and failed to win. How can they beat Arsenal, which has been unbeaten in 47 games, in such a state?"

"Rooney, Saha and Van Nistelrooy were sleepwalking throughout the game, plus a Ronaldo who was a traitor, Manchester United is lucky not to lose."
