Chapter 222 The Tragic Chen Tao

£15 million is too cheap. Even if Dong Fangzhuo knew that Ruud van Nistelrooy was leaving for the second time, he still felt that the price was too low.

Although Dong Fangzhuo was preparing for the game in Dammam, a port city in northeastern Saudi Arabia, he still felt the intense turmoil at Manchester United.

Selling Ruud at the lowest price when he was at his peak is completely unimaginable. What's more, Van Nistelrooy was not supposed to be sold this year, but until the end of the 0506 season. Dong Fangzhuo knew the reason why Ruud van Nistelrooy was sold off.

If he hadn't been born out of nowhere, Ruud wouldn't have left, and he would have left so quickly. Even if the reason why Ruud van Nistelrooy left in his previous life had nothing to do with him, it was because of Cristiano Ronaldo.

But in the end Fanny still left, no matter what the reason was.

Van Nistelrooy's departure means that Manchester United's forward competition has weakened a lot, and at the center position, only Dong Fangzhuo, Saha and Rooney are left.

Rooney is now placed at the left midfielder or left winger position, and in fact only Saha is left. Coupled with the fact that Ferguson has now given Rooney enough opportunities to perform in the league but has not achieved any results, Dong Fangzhuo's status seems to be getting more and more consolidated.

Manchester United has quietly undergone huge changes inadvertently. In fact, Manchester United has another striker who has never attracted attention, and that is Solskjaer. But no matter how Ferguson adjusts his tactics, Solskjaer is always in Manchester United's team building ideas. Players like him are not actually considered by Ferguson.

After selling Ruud, the signal sent by Ferguson has been quite clear. Dong Fangzhuo will definitely become Manchester United's main center next season. This will definitely not change. Unless after Van Nistelrooy, Ferguson will introduce a striker who is more awesome than Van Nistelrooy.

But will such a striker exist?

Won't.

The forwards who are more powerful than Ruud van Nistelrooy are nothing more than forwards like Shevchenko, Ronaldo, Henry, Crespo, and Trezeguet.

But it is obviously impossible to happen, so it is a certainty that Dong Fangzhuo will become the main center. This season, no matter how many contradictory opinions the news media and fans have, there is no doubt about Dong Fangzhuo's position next season.

"Brother Dong, you are so awesome! You have become Manchester United's main striker." In the Chinese national team, there are very few players who are about the same age as Dong Fangzhuo, and Chen Tao is one of them.

But Dong Fangzhuo didn't adapt, because in fact, Chen Tao was older than him...

Be reborn as a human being again,

There is no need to be shy about changing the age. All of this is a victim of the 2008 Olympics.

In order to prepare for the 2008 Olympic Games, almost everyone in the country changed their age. Especially in the 2005 World Youth Championship, the players of the Chinese Youth Team have basically changed...

Dong Fangzhuo originally didn't want to recall these, but when he saw Chen Tao, he couldn't help but think of a lot. He didn't know that Chen Tao had changed his age. He only found out later. This was no longer a secret in China.

But it's not the players' fault, it's the country's fault.

Dong Fangzhuo is not interested in knowing the ages of other teammates, but at least he knows that he and Zhu Ting have not changed their ages. This is enough, and others can say whatever they like.

I don’t know what’s wrong with Ali Han. This time when he came to Saudi Arabia, Ali Han did not arrange for him and Sun Jihai to be in the same room as before. Instead, he chose the equally young Chen Tao.

Dong Fangzhuo and Chen Tao are both from Liaoning, but they don't have much contact with each other. Even at the World Youth Championship that year, the two of them talked relatively little.

But no matter what, the goal he scored in the Olympics that year was assisted by Chen Tao...

At this time, Chen Tao called him Brother Dong, and Dong Fangzhuo felt quite embarrassed.

Although he has never seriously thought about how much older Chen Tao is than him, Chen Tao is definitely much older than him. It is said on the Internet that Chen Tao changed his age to at least 3 to 5 years old...

Brother Sheng, I really can't bear it.

Both Chen Tao and him were tragedies in their previous lives. They were both around 26 years old, and their careers fell off a cliff.

If the factor of age is excluded, Chen Tao will become the captain of Shenyang Jinde at the age of 19, shine in the World Youth Championship at the age of 20, and be selected into the best team with Messi, Chen Tao will really become a legend...

The last time they played against the South Korean team in an away game, the two of them didn't even speak. Dong Fangzhuo was on the main side and Chen Tao was on the substitute side. It was almost like they were in two different worlds. This is the case in the national team. New players and old players are treated completely differently. Unless you have a big boss covering you in the national team and getting you familiar with others, you really won't impress others. Although Chen Tao was selected for the national team at a 'young age', he really has no popularity. This may have something to do with personality.

Dong Fangzhuo's character isn't that good either. Being taciturn is not a good thing after all.

Usually, Chen Tao rarely communicates with other national team teammates. I don’t know if he is arrogant because of his talent. But now he took the initiative to talk to Dong Fangzhuo, and he believed that Chen Tao had an idea.

Besides, he also wanted Chen Tao to live a better life than in his previous life. No matter how others evaluate Chen Tao, he, Dong Fangzhuo, fully recognizes Chen Tao's abilities.

"You can do it too, it's just that you didn't study abroad."

Now, he just wants to hook up with Chen Tao.

If Chen Tao had not been unable to communicate in Shenyang Jinde like he did back then, and could successfully study abroad later, perhaps Chen Tao's future would be completely opposite.

Of course, Chen Tao was really ill-fated, especially his journey abroad.

Compared to Chen Tao, his fate is really good. Looking at Chen Tao's resume, you will find that Chen Tao really could have become a piece of gold, but in the end he could only be buried in the sand...

In 2004, Chen Tao, who was only 19 years old, participated in the Toulon Cup for the first time. Chelsea wanted him to go on trial training, but Shenyang Jinde, the club he had just joined for a year, was not even willing to talk, and he didn't even have time to dream of studying abroad for the first time.

In 2005, this was his year of brilliance. With the title of Rookie of the Chinese Super League and captain of the National Youth Team, he went to the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands and scored 3 goals in 4 games. Two scouts from two Turkish league teams, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, took the initiative to contact the team and offered a price of up to 7 million yuan, but Kinde’s 15 million yuan was not counter-offered. The other party had no choice but to give up.

After that, he got the opportunity to go to the Belgian Anderlecht team for a trial training, but Kinder was still unwilling to let go.

In the 2006 Toulon Cup, the Chinese team only scored 1 goal in 5 games, and it was Chen Tao who scored the goal. In the end, he won the Silver Ball Award. Many European clubs, including Inter Milan, extended an olive branch to him. One of the French clubs offered him a permanent transfer contract worth 1.4 million euros, but Kinder Club remained unmoved and did not even contact the other party.

In the 2007 Toulon Cup, Chen Tao's outstanding performance helped the Chinese team enter the finals. In August, Serie A team Genoa finally negotiated a 1.2 million euro agreement with Kinder. At that time, Chen Tao had even bought a ticket to Italy and was ready to go. However, when the other party proposed to pay the transfer fee in installments over two years, Kinder refused again.

In 2008, his experience the previous year caused him to fall out with the club. At the beginning of the year, he even went to Henan for training and was suspended three times. In March, Chen Tao went to Japan for a trial training with the Russian Super League Vladivostok team, but ultimately failed due to price issues. Later, Kinder let him train with the Swiss second division team Lugano for a month, but he was unable to make the trip due to poor performance in the Olympics. Chen Tao's relationship with the club completely deteriorated and he transferred to Shanghai Shenhua for 6 million yuan after the season.
