Chapter 53 You Are Not Flexible Enough

The away draw against Kuwait gave them the initiative to qualify. In China, the fans felt like celebrating the New Year.

After losing in the Asian Cup final, the Chinese national men's football team finally brought a little comfort to the fans. If this game is killed by Kuwait, the consequences will be disastrous.

It was Dong Fangzhuo who saved the Chinese team.

The domestic media have covered Dong Fangzhuo overwhelmingly, and they almost worship him as a god. They even think that Dong Fangzhuo will be the core striker of the national team for the next ten years, and the legendary forward Hao Haidong can really go home to retire. With Dong Fangzhuo taking over, there is no need I am worried that the Chinese team will not score without a striker.

Even the official website of the AFC wrote an article about Dong Fangzhuo: "The Manchester United striker saved the Chinese team."

The headline is very eye-catching, "He is expected to become the spokesperson of Asian football."

Dong Fangzhuo is also favored by the AFC...

To Dong Fangzhuo's surprise, his performance was also reported by the Manchester Evening News and the club's official website.

The Manchester Evening News wrote on the second page: "In this international match day, Manchester United players fought bloody battles in their respective national teams. Among them, China Dong played very well in the game and almost saved the precarious Chinese team by himself. Originally Rooney also hoped to represent the England team for the first time, but the emergence of prostitutes made the England coach temporarily give up on him..."

It happened at this juncture, Rooney is a bit tragic.

Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo escaped unharmed. If the media reported what happened that night, Dong Fangzhuo believed that the national team would definitely make him famous directly.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with conduct.

Although it may not be true that the conduct of the national team players is correct, Dong Fangzhuo believes that such bloody things must never happen to him.

Originally, after returning from the national team, he still had three days of vacation, but he still chose to give up the rest and returned directly to the Carrington training base.

After the life-and-death battle of the national team, he understood how weak the national team was, and it was not the first-class Asian team that the domestic media boasted all day.

In fact, the Chinese team has been sinking since the 2004 Asian Cup final!

This time it was lucky that they did not fall behind in the world preliminaries, but after the start of the top ten competition next year, who can guarantee that they will win?

But his own strength is not enough to change the status quo of the Chinese team, and he does not have such ability.

After 2004, there will be many young players entering the national team, but it turns out that none of them can help the Chinese team take off.

Including him Dong Fangzhuo...

Then, he discovered that, except for Rooney, who was sadly reminded, Manchester United's attacking group actually performed quite well in this international match day.

It's not that he's the only one who is awesome in the national team.

The name of the savior is only relative. Ruud van Nistelrooy scored a hat-trick in the Dutch team, Saha scored twice in the French team, Smith was full of aura in England, and scored twice with assists. Skja came off the bench in the national team and scored a goal to seal the victory.

Oh shit!

These perverts! It really makes me dare not be lazy for a minute!

He smelled the cruel competition again.

Choosing to stay at Manchester United is choosing to fight with other forward teammates every day...

However, after the international match day, there is a common phenomenon among players, that is, their competitive state has seriously declined.

Because of the back and forth, the journey is tiring.

Ferguson felt very fortunate, because all his players were not injured in the national team game, which is very important.

He has a lot of players to choose from when he travels to Birmingham City at the weekend, but Rooney will definitely be the starting striker.

Although Rooney's condition is not very good, there is definitely no problem with his physical fitness.

In Thursday's training, Ferguson actually threw Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo together.

This is the first time that Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo have been paired together during training! Dong Fangzhuo was basically put on the substitute side before, even if he was on the main side occasionally, Rooney hadn't played yet.

With Rooney?

Does this mean that the weekend will start with Rooney?

Dong Fangzhuo had more thoughts in his heart.

Playing with Rooney will definitely be compared, although the technical characteristics of the two are completely different.

Rooney is very versatile, while Dong Fangzhuo has nothing to do with the word 'all-round' at all...

Why him?

Seeing Dong Fangzhuo on the main side, Smith was very depressed.

Can't compete with Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Sahabi, but at least I am much better than Dong Fangzhuo.

Even in terms of spirituality, he is far behind himself!

Smith is indeed a very spiritual player, but after coming to Manchester United, it seems that he is not so spiritual. Now he has not scored as many goals as Dong Fangzhuo.

But now his eyes are full of jealousy!

Because Dong Fangzhuo actually scored a goal in training...

"Because of him." He muttered in his heart, looking at Ronaldo.

"If it wasn't for Ronaldo, would this guy score goals?"

Smith believes that most of the reason why Dong Fangzhuo was able to score is that Ronaldo assisted him and was taken care of. Ronaldo is obviously selfish.

In terms of real strength, Dong Fangzhuo is the worst in the Manchester United team!

But,

He just got Ferguson's approval and preference?

Why!

In fact, not only Smith thinks so, Rooney is also a little emotional.

Because it is true that many of Ronaldo's passes are for Dong Fangzhuo instead of him. Of course, this is also because the cooperation between the two is not enough for their tacit understanding.

Rooney can see this, but because of lack of tacit understanding, it is necessary to strengthen cooperation in training.

Fortunately, Giggs and Scholes treated him quite well. Although he couldn't get enough support from Ronaldo on the right, Giggs and Scholes sent him shells and assisted him.

Taking advantage of Van Nistelrooy's recent poor performance at the club, Rooney is consolidating his striker position step by step...

He enjoyed Scholes' through balls the most.

Scholes is the main midfielder of the England team, and Rooney is the core of the future striker. It is not surprising that the two have sparked amazing sparks.

Even Ronaldo has seen this phenomenon.

After the training, neither Ronaldo nor Dong Fangzhuo left the training ground immediately because they were still training.

Then Ronaldo asked Dong Fangzhuo a question.

"Dude, I think, you're not flexible enough!"

"Compared to other people, you are at a disadvantage. Even if you cooperate with your teammates, you are at a disadvantage."

Ronaldo spoke the truth!

"I know."

Dong Fangzhuo was indeed not flexible enough, and it was not the first time he knew it.

"I rarely see you playing tricks in training."

"I don't have a little technology."

"So... I think I need to get stronger, and you need to lose weight, you can try something new, like Wayne Rooney."

"Are you interested in training with me? I hired a personal trainer."
