"Manchester United thrashed Southampton 5-0 and continue to cling to Chelsea and Arsenal in the table." The Times reported the results of the game as soon as it was after the game, and analyzed, "Ferguson's abandonment of Ruud van Nistelrooy has had an effect, the front trident has performed very well, Rooney and China Dong have scored twice, and Cristiano Ronaldo has scored a goal and assisted twice." ”

'The good performances of the three men can make people forget about Ruud van Nistelrooy, Saha and Smith for a while, who seem to represent the future of Manchester United. The only blemish is that the opponent is vice-captain Southampton, and if they can perform at such a high level against Fenerbahce next Thursday, it will show that the attacking combination can be trusted, otherwise Ferguson will have to bring back Ruud van Nistelrooy. ”

The Times, despite its highly rated ratings, also analyzed very objective facts. Playing a team like Southampton at the bottom of the table does not truly reflect the true quality of Manchester United, and can only be trusted if they can continue to play hard in the Champions League.

However, the Times seems to have forgotten that the previous slightly stronger squad had just beaten arch-rivals Arsenal in the Carabao Cup, and that wasn't that enough to say anything about the team's ability?

Compared with the objectivity of the Times, the Manchester Evening News report is a bit pessimistic - "In any case, it is not right to put Ruud van Nistelrooy in the cold before the Christmas schedule arrives, a top veteran who has been through a lot of battles will always be more trustworthy than a young man with little experience in major competitions, you must know that Manchester United cannot afford to miss a point, no matter how they jump, they are only third in the league, and even the Champions League has not yet ensured the first place in the group!" Wasn't last season's defeat enough to learn a lesson? “

"Lack of consistent scoring methods, overly stubborn personnel use ......"

Regardless of what the media in England reported, the media in China were cheering for Dong Fangzhuo.

The weekly sports newspaper ran a front-page headline - "Why did he succeed at Manchester United?" 》

"Dong Fangzhuo, who started as a giant, was able to gain a firm foothold in Manchester United not only because of his talent and ability, more than his talented and capable players, but because he put in more effort than ordinary people. If you look at his training schedule, you can see why he is now in the starting line-up for Manchester United. ”

Then, the article listed Dong Fangzhuo's daily training plan.

"6:00am wake up and do yoga for 3 minutes, sometimes I feel stiff in the morning, yoga helps to relax my muscles.

……

7:30pm Monday, Wednesday and Friday for indoor individual technical training, practice basic movements such as cycling and ox tail, and on Tuesday and Thursday for free fighting, sanda, table tennis and other training (except competition days).

9:00 PM to bed. ”

The above training plan was developed by Dong Fangzhuo when he played in Antwerp, Belgium, and he has always trained according to this plan. Later, after returning to Manchester United and becoming friends with Cristiano Ronaldo, he added a very important training content, in order to improve his agility and reflexes, he tried sanda, martial arts and other dangerous training.

The current Dong Fangzhuo is definitely better than before, he used to have a good physical fitness, and now after adding various high-intensity training, his physical fitness has actually risen to a new level, especially the agility and reaction speed have been significantly improved.

Of course, this is only a physical improvement, and it is not enough for him to become a good player.

This article, written by Qu Weiyuan himself, is also analyzed from another angle.

"In my impression, Dong Fangzhuo is a domineering player on the court, and a very quiet child off the court. But both have one thing in common, and that is that they are both thinking. On the field, in addition to domineering, he is always playing with his brain, so we can often see him score, his goals are not flashy, but they are full of wisdom, he is dexterous to get rid of, elegant running, it seems that he never stops, he can always seize opportunities that are not opportunities, and when he shoots, he is so calm and calm. ”

"Actually, he surprised me even more off the field, I remember that on the third day after the national team reached the quarterfinals of the World Preliminary Tournament, I met Dong Fangzhuo on the plane, and he talked to me about Chinese football for more than ten hours, and I was very impressed by the content of his chat. He said he hopes that more and more players like him in China will appear in Europe to play football, train hard with him, and fight for his football dream. ”

"Some people say that Dong Fangzhuo's life is good, and he started from a wealthy family, so he is now infinitely beautiful, but when we envy him, do we ask ourselves how much he has paid? Do you train hard every day on a schedule like he did? If you did, I don't think you would say that, and one day you will stand at the height of Dong Fangzhuo......"

The article was featured on the front page of Monday's Sports Weekly and reprinted on Sohu and Sina.com, the most popular at the time.

Most fans have seen the article.

Then, everyone had a new and deeper understanding of Dong Fangzhuo. For a while, Dong Fangzhuo was discussed in various famous forums.

"If the report of the Sports Weekly is true, then Xiao Dong is absolutely awe-inspiring, he is the absolute benchmark of Chinese football."

"I thought that after Dong Fangzhuo became famous, he knew every day that he drove a sports car with Ronaldo to pick up girls, it turned out that he trained so hard every day!"

"Indeed, Xiao Dong's dedication is terrible, if every player in China can do his self-discipline and hard work, then success is not far away. There is no shortage of good football seedlings in China, but the growth environment is really worrying. Not only the growth environment, but also whether the players themselves can be strict with themselves is also very important, such as Zhou Haibin and Zhao Xuri, who were called into the national team in this year's Asian Cup, Chen Tao, who was called in at the end of the year, etc., do they have Dong Fangzhuo so hard? And those players who are still unknown but have amazing talents, will they be touched after seeing this report? ”

Qu Weiyuan personally delivered a copy of the day's newspaper to Dong Fangzhuo, he felt that it would be a very meaningful day, and Dong Fangzhuo made a good example in front of all the Chinese players.

In the future, no matter which player wants to become famous and wants to stay abroad, Dong Fangzhuo is the benchmark. Those players who complain about the sky and complain that they don't meet Huaicai should ask themselves, have they done as hard as Dong Fangzhuo?

If not, what right does he have to complain?
