Chapter 134 Monthly Best
"Manchester United won because of luck. David's substitution changed everything. In the last 15 minutes of the first half, I thought Manchester United would concede the goal, but I didn't expect Dong to score at the critical moment and then continue to chase Chelsea."
"We were lucky to lead 1-0 in the first half, but I was very surprised when David made another substitution in the second half, and we won in the end."
Ferguson was very excited at the press conference. Manchester United had not played such a difficult game for a long time. He originally thought he could easily win the away game against Aston Villa, but Rooney was sent off midway. Manchester United had to fight 10 against 11. This process is quite difficult...
But it was the greatest blessing that Manchester United could win the game.
Throughout December, Manchester United had 6 wins and 1 draw. This record was exactly the same as Chelsea. Manchester United had no expectations in the standings. The last two games of this round happened to be Arsenal and Manchester United. As a result, Arsenal still won and Manchester United still won. Ranked third.
Thirdly, it is really unfamiliar to Manchester United fans, except last season. Ranking third in the league standings for two consecutive seasons, Manchester United fans did not agree, and neither did Ferguson, but it would be very troublesome if it became a habit...
No matter what, the second half of 2004 is better than the first half. Although the second half is still not stable, it is at least full of hope?
The entire 2004 schedule is finally over.
Dong Fangzhuo has no idea about New Year's Day. In China, they celebrate the Lunar New Year, and the New Year is just a holiday. It's just that when he was abroad, he still recalled many things more or less. What's more, when he was reborn, everyone he cared about would appear in his mind.
But he still received a nice New Year's gift.
In the voting of Manchester United fans, Dong Fangzhuo became the best player of the Manchester United team in December. This is the first time he has received such an honor. Before, he only won the best player of the game. The last time we came close to this honor was in September, but we still lost to Van Nistelrooy.
However, half an hour after Manchester United's official website announced the news, Dong Fangzhuo received truly happy news.
"The Manchester United striker has been voted the Premier League Player of the Month for December, according to the PFA."
He was the best at Manchester United before and now he is the best in the Premier League.
Although the news in The Times was brief, the core content was very exciting. Dong Fangzhuo was elected as the Premier League Player of the Month in December. This honor is rare.
There are many superstars who are regarded by the outside world as the absolute core of wealthy clubs and have never won the Premier League Player of the Month.
For example, Vieira, as a member of the "Invincible Team" in the 2003/04 season, helped Arsenal win the league and FA Cup double in 1998 and 2002. And in 2003, he added another FA Cup championship trophy to the team. It is a pity that such a defensive master in the defensive midfield position has never won the Premier League Player of the Month.
Another example is Schmeichel, Manchester United's legendary goalkeeper Schmeichel, who won five Premier League titles under Ferguson, and won the supreme glory of the Triple Crown with the Red Devils in 1999. The strange thing is that in his long Premier League career, he has never won the league's Player of the Month.
Therefore, Dong Fangzhuo's ability to win the Best of the Month is definitely a great achievement.
What's more, he got it over club teammates Giggs and Scholes.
On January 2, Dong Fangzhuo received the award at the training ground.
Fans were full of praise for Dong Fangzhuo's fantastic performance, and coach Ferguson was also generous with his praise. In an interview, Sir Alex Ferguson said: "I really like Dong Fangzhuo. He is really great. Thank God for giving him health. And fitness, he deserves all the praise and we have to make sure he continues that."
However, he did not forget to praise other beloved generals.
Compared with the equally outstanding Manchester United midfielder Giggs, Ferguson also recognized the performance of the Welshman, but he felt that Dong Fangzhuo was better, "Dong and Giggs have different positions. There is no doubt that Giggs has performed well this season, but honestly Dong Ye is not bad at all, that is the fact. In addition to these two people, there are many players who have performed well in the Premier League this season, such as Scholes, Robben and Drogba."
Dong Fangzhuo had never imagined this award in his previous life, but now when he holds it in his hands, Dong Fangzhuo feels heavy, even though it is hollow in the middle.
At home, the news media has already hyped him up.
Sports Weekly specially used two pages to report——
The first Asian player to succeed in the Premier League;
The first player to play a regular role in the Premier League;
The first player to win the PFA of the Month award;
…
Also, there are too many.
Looking back on 2004, Dong Fangzhuo could only sigh. Before his rebirth, he left Antwerp, Belgium, away from the top league. He worked silently in Belgium alone, but after his rebirth, he gained too much.
All this, like a dream, but not a dream, appeared before him steadily.
It had not occurred to him to set aside a place in the living room for a Hall of Honor at his Manchester home. And who should you share this honor with?
Except for his mother who called him after seeing the news for the first time, it was Zhu Ting...
And Ronaldo.
This guy is obviously jealous.
Since joining Manchester United in 2003, he has not won the Premier League Player of the Month, but Dong Fangzhuo actually took the lead.
"Next month, it will definitely be me." Ronaldo now cares about every honor. Seeing Dong Fangzhuo win the best in the team and the best in the Premier League, he had very complicated emotions, which obviously stimulated him.
In the last game, he scored the winning goal for Manchester United and his confidence increased again.
In the next away game against Middlesbrough, he was put back into the starting lineup by Ferguson as he wished. Ferguson did not dare to be careless anymore and went out with the full lineup, and he did not let Ferguson down. In this game, he really Becoming the best player, with his two goals in the game, Manchester United won the away game with a score of 2:0.
It’s just that the position in the standings has not changed...
And Dong Fangzhuo suddenly discovered that Ronaldo had really changed.
If Ronaldo didn't wake up until he was 23 years old in his previous life, then Ronaldo, who is 19 and a half years old in this life, has already woken up three years earlier...
"Dong."
On the training ground, Rooney unexpectedly greeted Dong Fangzhuo.
"Um?"
Dong Fangzhuo was also surprised that Rooney would take the initiative to greet him.
Rooney has been very depressed recently. Since missing the penalty kick, his luck has become very bad. In addition, he was suspended with a red card in the Middlesbrough game, and he is even more depressed now...
