Chapter 328 Manchester United Can’t Survive without Him!
The mixed zone in Wulihe has never been so elated, because the Chinese team won, and it was not a small victory, but a big victory, a 4:1 victory over Saudi Arabia, their World Cup qualifying opponent.
When did the Chinese team play against these direct World Cup competitors and achieve such a score?
No. At least not against South Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia, or Iran.
Almost all Chinese players were surrounded by reporters. Veteran team members Li Weifeng and Zheng Zhi were also honored, especially Zheng Zhi who had a smile on his face.
When the Chinese team lost the first goal, Zheng Zhi's face was very ugly, but after that, he began to play better and smoother. Because he saw hope in this young Chinese team and personally integrated into it.
"I think we played quite well in this game. This is something I haven't encountered in a long time. The performance of the young players in the team was completely beyond my expectation. I can honestly say that I was very excited before the game. I was worried about this lineup arrangement, but my doubts were dispelled during the game, they performed too well.”
Zheng Zhi praised them personally.
Especially when talking about Zhao Xuri, he was full of praise.
"Xiao Zhao played to a very high level in this game. He has no stage fright at all. Although he has played many games on behalf of the Chinese team, today's game is completely different from before. He should understand what this means. What."
Zheng Zhi is quite optimistic about Zhao Xuri's future.
As for Dong Fangzhuo, it is not within the scope of discussion.
The national team's victory naturally put Dong Fangzhuo in a good mood. Just after the game, he got into the locker room without being interviewed.
Because this point happens to be Manchester United's Premier League away game against Sunderland. Dong Fangzhuo believes that the team should be able to easily win Sunderland if nothing unexpected happens.
In this game, Ferguson used the lineup he used in the previous game against Fulham. The youth storm gave Ferguson hope of Manchester United's rapid revival. There is only one position that needs to be adjusted, that is, Dong Fangzhuo is not here, and Rooney is at the front.
Rooney finally got his dream center opportunity. If Rooney can seize the opportunity and seize the opportunity in this game, then there will be a burst of news about him after the game, and there will be calls for Ferguson to put Rooney back. Middle road.
Dong Fangzhuo will also feel the pressure.
The left wing returned to Giggs' feet, and there were almost no changes in the lineup.
But after the game started, Dong Fangzhuo was shocked. Although the Manchester United young players were very active, the score was not what they expected. Although the midfield has the advantage, the frontcourt is a bit weak and it is difficult to create a threat in Sunderland's penalty area. Giggs and Ronaldo kept sending the ball into the penalty area, but Rooney failed to take advantage of Rulin's defense.
Ronaldo and Giggs then switched to cutting inside with the ball, trying to test Sunderland's goalkeeper through long shots. However, Sunderland's defensive tactics changed quickly and adjustments were made immediately.
Manchester United failed to score, but were successfully attacked by Sunderland in the 25th minute.
0:1?
Yes, United are trailing away from home.
Liu Jian, the commentator of Guangdong Sports TV who was responsible for broadcasting the game at the time, believed that falling behind would only allow Manchester United to score a bigger score, and Manchester United would definitely equalize the score easily.
However, before half-time, Sunderland scored another goal, rewriting the score to 2:0.
Dong Fangzhuo saw the anxious Ferguson walking around on the sidelines from the camera, and he seemed to hear Sir Alex calling him.
Without him, Manchester United couldn't score a goal. Is this still the Manchester United that won 6:0 against Fulham?
totally not.
The magic of the Youth Army disappeared.
In the second half, Manchester United replaced Saha and replaced Smith in an attempt to continue to strengthen the attack. However, the offense still failed to improve. Sunderland scored another victory and Manchester United fell behind 0:3.
Manchester United's so-called youth storm has completely become a joke.
Manchester United only got a goal back at the last moment through a penalty kick from Ronaldo.
In the end, Sunderland defeated Manchester United 3:1 at home.
This result was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
Ferguson was quite depressed at the press conference: "The team is too young. When we fell behind, we failed to calm down and play the game well. Instead, Sunderland took advantage of three counterattack opportunities to score goals."
"Another reason is that we are missing Dong. If Dong is on the court, he can move around in a wide range, grab headers in the penalty area, and drop back to create opportunities for his teammates, but there was nothing today. "
When Ferguson said this, he meant that Manchester United lost because they did not have Dong Fangzhuo. The people are still the same, but it will not work without Dong Fangzhuo.
The Times changed its face again and wrote an article that satirized Manchester United mercilessly, "Youth storm? A daydream."
"Manchester United lost completely in the away game..."
"The Times" seems to have forgotten that a week ago they published an article praising Manchester United and believed that Rooney and Ronaldo held up Manchester United's sky. But now I have completely forgotten that the "Times" trampled Manchester United to death, but also excused Rooney, "Look, how much Ferguson ruined Rooney. Now if Rooney returns to the center, he will not score." It’s better to continue playing on the wing..."
The Times article is full of subjectivity.
However, Rooney was indeed very depressed. He finally got the center position, but his performance was like shit. He scored twice in the last game, but today he scored nothing. He was completely surrounded by the opponent.
I am alone and can't find my teammates at all. He finally realized Dong Fangzhuo's difficulty in this position.
He actually had deep complaints in the past because he lost his favorite position. Especially when Ferguson made a 433 tactical setup around Dong Fangzhuo, he felt it was very unfair.
He thought he could do what Dong Fangzhuo did, but it turned out that he could never do enough.
But there is still a lot of time left for him. Before Dong Fangzhuo returns to the team, he has at least two games to prove himself.
The Champions League match against Lille at home next week will be his second chance. Not surprisingly, he should be the starting center...
However, according to the Manchester Evening News, he stood up for Dong Fangzhuo - Manchester United cannot do without the Chinese Dong. As long as you think about it for a moment, you should know what the Chinese Dong means on the court. Comparing these two games, we can conclude that it is Chinese Dong who drives Manchester United's offense. Only when he is on the court can Manchester United find their offensive direction.
Now, what worries us is that the Chinese director will miss the Champions League match against Lille and the league match against Tottenham. If they fail to win these two games, then Manchester United's season prospects will be worrying...
