"I can smell that the goal is coming...... Ferguson continued to cheer Dong on before the game.

"The media will talk nonsense and want to create invisible psychological pressure on Dong, he is the top scorer in the World Youth Championships!"

It was United's first home game of the season, and it wasn't as rosy as Ferguson thought, especially if they didn't win the game, it would be a waste of the result of the Chelsea and Arsenal matchup, although it is not known what the outcome of their matchup will be, but Manchester United can only win the best.

However, the last time Villa won at Old Trafford was back in 1983, when they were 2; 1 wins. The most recent win was in the 1999 League Cup. Manchester United have won 14 of the 16 meetings in the last 22 years, which can be described as overwhelming.

Although Villa is difficult to bite, it does not mean that Manchester United cannot win the game.

This, coupled with Villa's midfield stalwart of Solano expressing his interest in switching to Liverpool before the game, left the Peruvian out of the starting line-up tonight by Villa boss O'Reilly, with his place replaced by Wittingham, with Ridgewell and De La Cruz starting in place of Laursen and Kevin Phillips respectively.

In order not to be at a disadvantage in the midfield, O'Reilly's 451 formation was deployed to face Manchester United. In fact, this is the same as last season, this is their most used style of play.

Manchester United almost lined up the same starting line-up as they did in the previous round win over Everton, except that Ryan Giggs was replaced by Park Ji-sung.

Brothers Joel and Brian Glazer were present at Old Trafford, and the presence of United's new owners at Old Trafford drew boos from United fans. Even though the dust has been settled for more than half a year, Manchester United fans are still very resistant to the Glazer family.

Villa's five-man midfielder tried to use the numerical advantage to intercept Manchester United's attack, and Dong Fangzhuo was actually alone in front.

In the 4th minute of the opening game, Gary Neville made a long pass, and Park Ji-sung broke through on the left side to win a free kick.

"Park's movements are real, there is no feint after unloading the ball, just a light trip, and the free kick is in hand. Among the Asians, it is estimated that only the Japanese players have more delicate foot skills, and Park and Dong's feet are quite concise, and they don't play false at all. ”

Accidentally, Lineker killed two boatloads of people with a single stroke, killing two large pieces of Chinese players and South Korean players.

However, he soon added: "But I see that at this year's World Youth Championships, there are many young Chinese players who have very good skills at their feet, and I always feel that Dong's skills are very different from those of his national youth team......

Cristiano Ronaldo stood in front of the ball and took the set-piece, but his powerful shot was blocked by De La Cruz.

Then the two sides were in a stalemate for several minutes, but there were no good chances. Villa's midfield interception was quite good, not being picked up by Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney on the wing, and Fletcher and Park Ji-sung on the pitch were not able to give more support.

"It looks like Dong is going to be cold again today...... He was so surrounded that he didn't have a chance at all. ”

"He hasn't touched the ball even once."

"The more you are afraid, the more you come......"

In the 11th minute, McCann fouled Rooney in front of the penalty area, Manchester United got another set-piece opportunity, and it was Ronaldo standing in front of the ball, Ronaldo has now begun to arrange Manchester United's front-court set-pieces, and Rooney can occasionally get one or two chances.

Whew-

Cristiano Ronaldo took a free-kick from 25 yards in the middle, and the ball curled around the wall. Just a little bit, Ronaldo scored.

'Cristiano's desire to shoot today was still strong and it looked like he wanted to take his league goal tally to three.

One minute later, Villa captain Melburg pulled Rooney at the back and was booked.

"In the first fifteen minutes, almost all of them were Ronaldo and Rooney's performances, what about Dong? Where is Dong? He was so silent that I almost forgot he existed. It's not like his style. ”

Manchester United dominated the pitch and Villa boss O'Reilly was anxiously pointing fingers from the sidelines. As if it worked, in the 17th minute, De La Cruz had a chance to shoot, but with an anti-aircraft gun.

United almost took the lead in the 28th minute when Paul Scholes crossed the ball to the left and Park Ji-sung fired a right-footed shot from 17 yards on the left side of the penalty area, which struck the crossbar and bounced off the crossbar after Sorensen saved. Dong Fangzhuo quickly plugged in, but he was a step late and missed the goal!

Scholes then whipped in a corner from the right that was deflected out by Sorensen and Park Ji-sung's powerful shot from the edge of the box was blocked by Melburg.

Park Ji-sung is in the limelight!

But Dong Fangzhuo still looks like a passerby.

"I'll rub, if I keep kicking like this, Park Ji-sung will hold down Dong Fangzhuo......"

"Park Ji-sung seems to be able to run better than Dong Fangzhuo, he can just run out of opportunities, this situation is actually easy to analyze, Dong Fangzhuo, Ronaldo and Rooney are all surrounded in front, after Park Ji-sung plugs in, there will naturally be more opportunities."

"Here we go again!"

Before he finished speaking, Park Ji-sung rushed forward again, this time this guy played higher, Scholes made the ball for him, and he shot hard directly from 30 yards in the middle! It seems that he is not Park Ji-sung now, but the captain Kean......

"Damn, it's over! Is Park Ji-sung overplaying! ”

"I really think I'm a football star!"

"I can't stand it!"

"You just keep going!"

Many Chinese fans can't stand Park Ji-sung anymore, they sit in front of the TV instead of watching the South Koreans perform, but want to watch Dong Fangzhuo score, but now it is Park Ji-sung who is performing, and Dong Fangzhuo has no chance.

Then it was Rooney's turn......

In the 32nd minute, Paul Scholes headed a corner from the left into the box and Rooney's out-of-foot volley was blocked by Wittingham in front of the far corner line.

In the 35th minute, Rooney's powerful shot from 25 yards down the middle was again blocked by Aaron Hughes. Then Fletcher uploaded, and Sorensen cleared the ball after chesting the ball in front of Park Ji-sung.

"Rooney, you're wrong, can't you see Dong Fangzhuo? Why don't you pass the ball to him? ”

"So quickly forgot that the last game was a penalty for you?"

On several occasions, Rooney could choose to pass the ball to Dong Fangzhuo, but Rooney chose to shoot, which made the fans very dissatisfied.

Rooney is selfish!

Before the words fell, Ronaldo also hit a kick on the right side, but unfortunately the ball was saved from the bottom line.

United also spent a staggering 79 per cent of possession and the game quickly went to stoppage time.

Dong Fangzhuo also felt that he had soy sauce in the half......

Villa were too tight in the box today, with almost no ball coming in, and all of United's shots were from outside the box.

This corner may be the only chance.

Dong Fangzhuo was not upset, every time Manchester United attacked, he tried to play his role well, and this corner kick was the same.

In the last game against Everton, both sides played very openly, so he got more chances, but in this game Villa was not open, so he got fewer chances. Moreover, although the media exaggerated his uselessness, the manager of every team could not really ignore him, on the contrary, he was heavily defensive.

And all the previous set-pieces in the front court, either Rooney or Ronaldo went directly to the door, and they didn't pass into the big penalty area at all, and this corner kick is different.

Dong Fangzhuo observed carefully in the penalty area and found his position.

There were so many people in the box that maybe they couldn't jump and the ball flew away......

He saw Park Ji-sung.

This guy is really hard, he sighed, and then slipped behind Park Ji-sung.

Near Park Ji-sung, Vidic and Ferdinand are standing there, in fact, Park Ji-sung cleared the way for Vidic and Ferdinand. Park Ji-sung constantly stirred up Villa's defence in the box, allowing Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand to better compete for headers.

As long as Nemanja Vidic and Ferdinand are in the opponent's penalty area at the same time, they are the most firepower attraction point, which allows Dong Fangzhuo to get out of the opponent's defense.

Paul Scholes takes a corner and there is chaos in the box. Sure enough, Scholes' corner was headed towards Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand.

However, the opposing side was outnumbered, and Vidic and Ferdinand were tightly squeezed into a small space, unable to jump at all!

Call!

Like a tomahawk that suddenly appeared in the sky.

Dong Fangzhuo's head suddenly appeared above Vidic and Ferdinand!

Duang!

"Ahh

At that moment, everyone was completely stunned when they saw Dong Fangzhuo's header......

“goal!”

“gooooooal!”

“goooooooooooooal!”

"Dong!"

"Dong has scored!"

"Oh my God, when did he play??????"
