"Do you want to celebrate New Year's Day together?"

Dong Fangzhuo sent a message to Pan Xiaoting......

He doesn't talk about Christmas, and Pan Xiaoting can't make it in time for Christmas, after all, there is only one day.

However, what disappointed him was that Pan Xiaoting's reply was a little cold.

"No, you have to train."

"It's so cold, what did I do wrong?"

"Nothing ......"

originally wanted to spend the New Year with Pan Xiaoting, but it seems that he was self-inflicted.

"Okay......"

It's very helpless, but it's understandable, maybe Xiaoting just needs physiologically, so she slept with him, and she really can't talk about her children's private affairs, you have to put your mind on the game.

Dong Fangzhuo comforted herself.

The Christmas schedule is here, and the Premier League teams will not stop moving forward. Then again, there is no doubt about the halfway point for the Premier League. Because there was not much adjustment during the winter break, the team's physical strength and psychology rotated in the first and second halfs. It is likely that once the Christmas and New Year campaign is over, the top spot will no longer belong to Manchester United, and the difference of six points is really not much.

At the end of the day, it's the next 19 games as a whole, and let's not forget Arsenal and Liverpool, who are also likely to drag United down.

On Christmas Day, Dong Fangzhuo did not take a holiday, but returned to the training ground, and James Lee, a columnist for the Manchester Evening News, happened to capture a photo of Dong Fangzhuo appearing on the training ground: "As usual, he is still in the training ground, and his serious and persistent attitude tells us that he wants to lead Manchester United to the league title this season." This is Manchester United's great captain, Francis Dong. ”

Meanwhile, Chelsea's side was not idle, with Mourinho summing up the halfway:

"This season it's all the other way around. There are no problems, everyone can play, the squad is fixed for every game, they have few injuries, no suspensions, no referee problems, everything is going well. And we have too many troubles. Lost the best goalkeeper, Terry was injured, Joe Cole was injured, there were a lot of red cards, multiple suspensions, a lot of bad decisions. It's good to be only two points behind. "It's a bit of a reflection of the first half of the battle between Manchester United and Chelsea – Manchester United became stable in the first half and Chelsea became less stable, no longer had that hopeless stability.

'We need more and better players.'

Mourinho said so much, in the end he just wanted to ask his boss Abramovic for money.

I don't know if he will succeed, but Ferguson has succeeded.

The day after Christmas, six days before New Year's Day 2007, Manchester United held a public debut ceremony for Swedish striker Larsson, who is set to join on loan in the New Year. While the Swede's contract with his new club is effective from 1 January, Larsson is not eligible to represent United at Newcastle on 1 January due to issues with the FA's registration process.

In this regard, the lord himself clarified at the press conference: "Larsson will make his official appearance in the [FA Cup third round] game against Villa [on January 7], although the opposing manager O'Neill is his former mentor, he has played for Barcelona against Celtic, so this game is nothing special for him. Nevertheless, the benefits of Larsson's arrival at Old Trafford are clear: "We are in need of such an experienced striker with an exceptional ability to pick up points in front of goal, and with the season just now entering its most crucial phase, Larsson's arrival could not be more timely. ”

"I don't care if I'm a 'super sub' or not, only the manager can decide when I'm playing," said the Swede himself, excited about the next three months on loan, but kept his professional composure, "I couldn't turn down an offer from Manchester United, I had the opportunity to join the Premier League before, but my family was used to Glasgow at the time, so I decided to stay there. But I'm 35 years old now, and it's likely that such an opportunity will not come up again. ”

Even so, the lord is not satisfied. According to media speculation, the Lord has been considering the possibility of bringing in Bremen striker, World Cup top scorer Bronze Boot and German international Klose next summer, who transferred to Bremen from Kaiserslautern for only about 3.5 million pounds two years ago, and is now at the top of the Bundesliga scorer list with 10 goals, and is worth more than 7 million pounds.

Regarding new signings and rumors, Dong Fangzhuo also stood up to express his attitude.

"I'm delighted with Larsson's arrival, Manchester United do need to add one or two great characters on both wings, because Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo are sometimes injured," Dong Fangzhuo welcomed Larsson in front of the media, although the guy has played for Barcelona but has not played directly, but Dong Fangzhuo also jokingly expressed Ferguson's resistance to bringing in a centre-forward.

"But in the centre-forward position, there's already me and Wayne Rooney, Klose is a world-class goalscorer, but did he come here to see the water cooler?"

'I've heard that Torres has the same idea, Torres is a promising goalscorer, but if he comes to Manchester United and he probably has to sit on the bench, he won't have that chance.

"Let's continue to strengthen our defense......"

“……”

Dong Fangzhuo's high-profile answer stunned the media reporters who interviewed him, and it was rare to hear Dong Fangzhuo speak so much.

The English media then reprinted the words of the Manchester United captain.

"Whether it's Klose or Torres before that, you have to be a substitute for me when you come to Manchester United!" The Times used such incendiary words to make the headline.

'The Manchester United captain has an unrivalled level of confidence and believes he is the centre-forward of Manchester United, and any striker who comes here can only be a substitute. He has such capital, although Klose is very good, 10 goals are also the top scorer in the Bundesliga, but Dong has scored 15, and he is the core of Manchester United's frontcourt, can pass and shoot, Klose can't do this kind of work, so if he comes to Manchester United, he is estimated to be behind Rooney. ”

These words reached Ferguson's ears, and Ferguson felt strange.

Is it the other way around?

How dare this guy openly express his dissatisfaction in front of the media?

Ferguson keenly smelled that Dong Fangzhuo had changed, which was very different from the previous Dong Fangzhuo......

Stiff wings?

What's more, when did I say I wanted to buy Klose and Torres? Ferguson was suddenly annoyed.

He doesn't like players to make such remarks casually, and former United captain Keane is not well received by him, and the current United captain needs to be respectful of him, even if the news is just groundless......

Then he let out a tone in front of the media and stimulated Dong Fangzhuo:

"Manchester United's main strikers can be the top scorer, Dong hasn't done it yet."
