Chapter 639: Same People but Different Fates, a Sudden Change in the Standings
You're trying to trick me, just think I'm being funny...
Dong Fangzhuo did not answer Sara’s stupid question. At this time, Manchester United needs harmony in the locker room to launch a final attack on the league championship, Champions League champion and FA Cup champion.
He declined to answer the question.
The next day, I returned to Manchester with the team and concentrated on preparing for the weekend away game against Everton.
As a result, the good news continues. On Tuesday, another Premier League award was released. Dong Fangzhuo won another award. He won the title of Player of the Year voted by Premier League fans.
Dong Fangzhuo previously won the Premier League Players' Association of the Year Award. This is an award from the Professional Players Association. It is voted by professional players and is the choice of peers. This time it was chosen by fans in England. Dong Fangzhuo is still the first. red man.
This is a commendation and explanation for his outstanding performance this season.
Ferguson was very pleased with the progress of his disciple. He said at the pre-match press conference before Everton: "Dong is very good. His progress and maturity are amazing. I think at this moment, he is the best player in the world. The best player."
"Sometimes young people will be carried away by the praises from all aspects, but Dong is not like that. He knows how to deal with it all. Only special young people can do this. Sometimes success can change some young players, but it does not Change Dong, he trains as hard every day and strives to improve every day to reach the best level."
At this critical moment, Ferguson needs Dong Fangzhuo to burst out with the most amazing energy and lead Manchester United to win the league championship in one breath.
In the last four games, Ferguson did not dare to be careless at all. Although they had just finished a fierce battle with Barcelona, Manchester United got enough rest time, so when they played Everton away, Ferguson did not hesitate to play with the same original team.
"Manchester United came to Liverpool again, but it was Everton who stopped them. Can Moyes' team stop Manchester United from winning the championship?" The Daily Mail asked this question before Manchester United visited Goodison Park. , in the eyes of Liverpool people, they would rather see Chelsea win the championship than Manchester United.
Everton is not easy to chew this season. They are ranked as high as 6th and are fighting for qualification for the UEFA Cup next season. They have no hope of participating in the Champions League, but they have a great chance of the UEFA Cup. There are four league rounds left. , they may not need to win against Manchester United, but they will certainly not let go of the opportunity to score points easily. After all, Bolton, Blackburn and Aston Villa behind them are all eyeing it.
"There is nothing to say, Manchester United needs to win this game and continue to put the pressure on Chelsea.
There are four rounds left in the league, and the two teams will collide directly in the penultimate round. Manchester United cannot tolerate any sloppiness before doing so again. In the 24 meetings between the two sides in the past 12 seasons, Manchester United won 19, drew 4 and lost only 1 game. In the 29 historical encounters between the two sides in the Premier League, Manchester United has 21 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, including 10 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses away from home. There have been 172 historical encounters between the two sides, with Manchester United having the upper hand with 73 wins, 38 draws and 61 losses. "
"Judging from the record, Manchester United has an obvious advantage, but Moyes' Everton is not easy to mess with. Before the game, the betting company opened a tie, believing that Manchester United could not take all three points at Goodison Park. Ferguson's team will have to Facing a fierce battle. At the same time, Chelsea faces Bolton at home. There should be no suspense in this game. It depends on whether Manchester United can win Everton away from home."
As usual, when Rooney played, the fans at Goodison Park gave him huge boos, but Rooney was already used to it and was fearless...
Beep——
Two games start at the same time...
Everton almost scored in just 2 minutes. Arteta took a corner kick from the right. The unguarded Lescott header from 4 yards forward hit the crossbar and popped out!
"It's so dangerous. Vidic and Ferdinand seemed to be chatting and didn't notice Lescott behind them at all. They had to get excited immediately."
In the 7th minute, Rooney passed the ball from the left. Dong Fangzhuo quickly took a step to the right from the middle and immediately shot from a long distance, but the ball missed the post. A minute later, Van der Sar's goal kick was intercepted before halftime, but former Manchester United striker Saha was also double-teamed and intercepted on the edge of the penalty area.
But soon Manchester United gave Everton a chance to set the ball in the backcourt. Evra fouled Arteta and Saha once again stood in front of the ball.
For former Manchester United teammates, they had never seen Saha take a set kick. As a result, Saha's violent free kick from 30 yards directly hit Carrick and then deflected into the net. Van der Sar could not save it.
"Ah, Manchester United unexpectedly fell behind at Goodison Park!"
"Chelsea's side is still a draw, so Manchester United's points lead has temporarily become smaller. They are only 2 points ahead of Chelsea."

Everyone in Manchester United looked at Saha celebrating in disbelief. The former Manchester United striker actually pushed Manchester United into the fire pit with his own hands. It seemed that he wanted to destroy Manchester United's league championship dream with his own hands.
"Saha is very excited. He has always wanted to score a goal for his former club, and now he has done it. This goal is too important and may very well ruin Manchester United's championship dream! He is celebrating wildly, venting his dissatisfaction for a year and a half. , does Ferguson regret selling him to Everton?"
Saha even took off his jersey to celebrate, even if he received a yellow card. Since leaving Manchester United, he has been looking for opportunities to take revenge, but Saha has been the loser in the previous encounters, but today he did it...
The game resumed and Manchester United had to start chasing points from the score of 01. Everton played very tough. In the 15th minute, Scholes fouled Arteta. Manchester United once again gave Everton a chance to set the ball. This time, the position was more biased and Saha was not standing in front of the ball. , but Arteta's free kick from the right passed into the penalty area, and Saha headed the goal from 6 yards away!
Ouch——
Manchester United fans exclaimed,
Just a little bit closer, Saha scored again...
"Nima, when you were at Manchester United, didn't you play so well?"
"Does Ferdinand still think Saha is a teammate? Why did he lose Saha?"
"Keep an eye on this guy!"
Manchester United fans have not been used to Manchester United being in a lagging position for a long time. Manchester United, which has been going smoothly in the league, has made its way from England to Europe, but today they have to face the situation of lagging behind.
And a minute later, they and Lineker were screaming at the same time.
"Ah, Chelsea also fell behind at home. With Slovak defender Mechalik's goal, Bolton led 10 away from home. Haha, what a magical game. In this case, Manchester United's lead became 3 points again. "
Ferguson and others naturally knew about Chelsea's progress, but the Manchester United players on the field did not know that they were fighting Everton desperately. In order to equalize the score, they attacked crazily. Just one minute after Chelsea scored, Manchester United also got a chance. Dong Fangzhuo, who ran back to the center to get the ball, distributed the ball to the left side. Rooney followed up with a volley, but the ball was saved by Turner. Then Mo Delic took a corner kick, but Turner stepped out and held the ball firmly in his arms.
"Oh, Chelsea equalized!"
In just two minutes, Chelsea scored a goal. Chelsea winger Kalou dived to the top to equalize the score.
"The points gap between Manchester United and Chelsea has narrowed to 2 points again."
Ferguson shook his head on the coaching bench, and finally stood up and walked to the command area, pressure quietly spreading on him.
In the 24th minute, Carrick made a long pass. Dong Fangzhuo rushed forward from the penalty area line and hit the top 10 yards from the left rib of the penalty area. The ball was fast and fast, but Turner cheated and caught the ball again.
One minute later, Ronaldo passed the ball low on the right, and Rooney's shot from 15 yards behind missed the left post...
"calm,"
"At this time, the forwards need to deal with opportunities calmly."
"Manchester United are only one goal behind."
The lagging Manchester United adopted a siege, but it was difficult to break the home team's iron barrel defense. Instead, they were occasionally attacked by Everton. In the 35th minute, Arteta passed Osman directly, but Evra made a key interception. Then Manchester United launched the fastest counterattack. Modric passed the ball directly to Dong Fangzhuo on the left. Rooney outflanked him 8 yards in front of the goal but was half a beat too slow! Missed the ball.
Huge boos immediately erupted from the stands, followed by bursts of laughter...
"Oh, Rooney! You shouldn't have!"
"Just when Rooney wasted this opportunity, Chelsea overtook the score. Their midfielder Lampard equalized the score and volleyed from the center, focusing the opponent's players' bodies and rebounding into the goal! Chelsea led by 21, they The points gap has been reduced to 0 points!”
Cool...
The Manchester United fans sitting in front of the TV were always paying attention to the progress of Chelsea. After Lampard scored, they felt like falling into an ice cellar, their heads were buzzing, and they didn't know how to face this situation. It's like losing one's soul.
Ferguson was not very excited while standing in the command area. This was not the end of the world!
The game entered stoppage time, and Manchester United was still madly suppressing Everton. In the 46th minute, Carrick passed a free kick from the right. Cristiano Ronaldo outflanked the ball from far away and missed the ball. At the end of the half, Manchester United still trailed Everton 01. Chelsea is temporarily ahead of Bolton with 21 at home.

In the locker room, Ferguson told the Manchester United players about the current situation.
"If we lose this game, then we can only go to Stamford Bridge for a decisive battle, so we can't lose!"
"Have the courage to beat Barcelona!"
"Blow this damn iron barrel array to pieces!"
Ferguson did not believe that Everton was so lucky to be able to withstand Manchester United's 90-minute bombardment!
At the start of the second half, Ferguson made no adjustments.
In the 48th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball from the right, passed a defensive player and immediately passed the ball. However, the ball was pushed out by the Everton defender. Modric passed halfway and headed the ball to Dong Fangzhuo. Dong Fangzhuo was Forced kick from the edge of the penalty area! But three Everton players blocked it, and the ball bounced to the feet of Scholes on the left. Scholes' shot from the left side of the penalty area was also blocked!
This time Manchester United failed to get the ball again, but Everton launched a fast break! Arteta made a direct pass, and before Ferdinand could get close to him, Fernandez fired an angry shot into the upper right corner from the edge of the right penalty area. Van der Sar couldn't make the save.
"goooooooooooooooooooooooooal!"
"God, Manchester United fell behind by 02. Moyes' iron-barrel formation took a two-goal lead. Manchester United was really dangerous! On the other end, Chelsea still led Bolton by 21. What's going on with Manchester United today? They didn't even score a goal. Disaster!"
Damn it! Damn it, Dong Fangzhuo was also a little anxious. He was two goals behind. No matter how calm he was, his heart began to fluctuate. If opportunities continue to be wasted like this, Manchester United is really going to die. Losing the game is not terrible, but losing like this is really intolerable.
"cheer up!"
"Can't lose!"
Dong Fangzhuo yelled.
"Even if you lose, you can't lose so cowardly!"
beep,
The battle continues!
The Manchester United Trident rushed forward, Scholes made a direct pass, and Rooney immediately formed a single shot on the left!
But Rooney's single shot was weak under Stubbs' tight marking and was confiscated by Turner who attacked.
"Oh, Rooney!"
"Did you stay up all night last night?"
"This shot is like scratching an itch!"
"Ah, Evra is injured, this is simply..."
Evra fell to the ground while recovering and Heinze had to come on to replace him.
Manchester United seems to be having a lot of bad luck, and even injuries are going to work against them.
But as soon as Heinze came on the scene, something unexpected happened at Chelsea.
"Ah, the latest news, the latest news! Chelsea was equalized by Bolton at home. Kevin Davis scored with a header. They made the score 22! Manchester United regained the lead again."
The situation changed suddenly, and the situation in both games was unpredictable.
As if he heard Lineker's shouts, Modric took a corner kick on the right. Dong Fangzhuo was pinched by Everton defenders Lescott and Stubbs. He had no chance to jump in the middle to grab the point. , unable to jump at all, Turner ran out of the goal, jumped up, and easily picked up the ball.
but……
When he landed, he bumped into his teammate Phillip Neville and lost his hand!
The ball fell in front of Dong Fangzhuo.
Big gift!
An absolute gift!
Although Dong Fangzhuo couldn't take off, he could stretch his legs. With the tip of his right toe, Lescott quickly grabbed the corner of his clothes. It was too late!
The ball rolled over the sideline...
Beep——
A long whistle and Manchester United got a goal back!
12.
"goooooooooooooooooooooooal!"
"Dong's 29th goal in the league, he didn't have any celebration, he had already rushed into the goal, took the ball out, and quickly walked back. Manchester United now needs at least two goals to win! They are just ahead now Defeat Chelsea by 2 points, they need to score more goals!"
"Everton's internal mistake gave Dong the 29th goal. Turner's attack had no problem, but he hit Phillip Neville when he landed. Could it be that Neville did it on purpose? Hahahaha... …”
Beep, the referee was very cooperative and quickly called the game so as not to waste every minute of Manchester United's time. (I am the first, second and third person in the world..117117198)--(I am the first, second and third person in the world)
