Chapter 133 Waves, Wave Yourself to Death!
30-40 years old, are you at Manchester United? The "Manchester Evening News" in England has not reported on Dong Fangzhuo for a long time, and this day suddenly put such a news on the front page.
The local Manchester United fans held the newspaper and watched it with relish, and on this day they began to talk about Dong Fangzhuo again.
"He'll be 27 at the beginning of next year, at least 3-5 years at Real Madrid, it's good to be back at Manchester United at 30, I'm sure he'll come back to Manchester United, he played against Manchester United at the awards gala yesterday, his heart will always belong to Manchester United."
"Forget it, are the Glazers willing to pay for him back? With his self-discipline, the 30-year-old must still be in good shape, and it is estimated that he will be worth more than 100 million pounds by then, and the Glazer family, who are not pulling out a dime, is he willing? I'm not optimistic about them, but when the time comes, it's better to go to Manchester City! ”
"To Manchester City? God, don't be kidding, Dong can't do this, if he goes back to England, it will definitely be Manchester United. Even if he comes back when he's 40. ”
"40 years old, come back to see the Carrington door? Must come back before the age of 33. ”

Returning to the league field, Real Madrid went to Villarreal away, and the Love Song Stadium was waiting, but Dong Fangzhuo, who had just won the award, performed bravely, scored two passes, and led Real Madrid to win Villarreal 3:0 away, in the league standings, Luo scored twice again, while Messi contributed a goal, and the two of them scored the same number of goals on the scorer list, and the competition was fierce.
Back at the Bernabeu, it's the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals.
Sevilla boss Samano has been on the bench almost entirely in the league to prepare for this game, and it is clear that he hopes his side will be able to beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu to reach the Copa del Rey final. Although he lost 1-2 at home to Real Madrid in the first leg, he still has a lot of confidence in the team.
When asked by the newspaper "As" why he has so much confidence in the team, he bluntly said: "Because we still have hope.
Because we still have hope?
Take a look at their starting line-up: Goalkeeper: Ballas; defenders Cáceres, Sergio Sanchez, Escude, Navarro, Navas; midfielders Jokora, Romarik, Rakitic; Forwards Canute and Negredo
In contrast to the first leg starters, Cáceres, Rakitic and Negredo are all back in the starting line-up.
It's going to be a dead end.
This made Mourinho not take it lightly at all.
Facing Sevilla, Mourinho could only put out the main lineup to face it again.
Indeed, one goal is not safe, and what about playing at home, Mourinho is not willing to take any risks in order to advance to the Copa del Rey final.
Real Madrid's starting lineup is: goalkeeper Casillas; Defenders: Carvajal, Carvalho, Pepe, Arbeloa; midfielders Alonso, Luka Modric, Khedira; Forwards: Dong Fangzhuo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Di Maria
Because Marcelo had some minor injuries, Arbeloa went to left-back, Benzema and Ozil were on the bench, and Real Madrid switched to 433.
After Mourinho announced the starting line-up, he didn't expect Benzema to jump out and complain.
Seeing that he was not in the starting list, Benzema opened his mouth in front of the rare media.
Benzema believes that his style has sometimes put him at a disadvantage when it comes to scoring goals, sacrificing too much, and in an interview with Marca, he said: "Maybe I should think more about myself, think more about how to score goals, and of course I will continue to provide passes to my team-mates to get them to score." I knew that playing in my position I had to score goals, but I kept passing. ”
This is clearly a whining signal......
He has scored a little less recently, and he has been criticized by the media and fans, and he is not in the starting line-up now, so of course he is not happy.
Seeing that there is a situation in the Real Madrid dressing room, the Catalan media will definitely not let it go, and then immediately began to hype Benzema, wishing that the Real Madrid dressing room was in a mess.
However, Real Madrid fans did not buy Benzema's account, and after seeing the report, some fans chatted online.
"Benzema has contributed a lot to Real Madrid, but is he eating less cake?"
"As far as I know, in the Real Madrid team, it is Cristiano Ronaldo who eats the most cakes, Ronaldo scores most of the goals, and Benzema is spitting cakes, who do you blame? Maybe you can blame Cristiano Ronaldo, but how many good balls has China Dong passed to you? You've scored half of the goals, and now you can double the number of goals, but if you pass three shots, you can score one, which is already very good......"
Mourinho did even better, he didn't say a word, and when he heard Benzema openly complain in the media, he directly removed Benzema from the squad and temporarily filled in Morata.
Now, it's finally quiet......
※※※※
At 10 p.m., Real Madrid host Sevilla.
Real Madrid won the first leg by 1 goal, and this time when they returned to their home stadium, they naturally played all the way to the opponent and strive to advance to the final. Real Madrid has won 5 wins and 2 losses in the last 7 home games against Sevilla, and the winning rate is really not high, and there is a possibility of overturning in the gutter.
But the Bernabeu stands were not full, with nearly a third of them empty. This situation immediately gave Morientes of the National Radio 5 an excuse to spray Mourinho.
"In the past, Real Madrid's home games were almost full, but the Bernabeu's attendance has dropped significantly recently, and the results are still good, but the enthusiasm of the fans is declining, I think this must be related to Real Madrid's tactical play, the fans don't like to watch it, so naturally they won't pay for tickets to come to the Bernabeu to watch the game."
This season, Morientes has bombarded Mourinho countless times, which may also have something to do with Morientes' previous stay at Liverpool, when Chelsea and Liverpool were incompatible......
"There is a weakness in this line-up, that is, Arbeloa, Marcelo's absence makes Real Madrid's left-back position dangerous, Arbeloa's temporary cameo at left-back, which makes people look very insecure, even if he appears in the most familiar right-back position, it is actually not safe."
Morientes is also a little bit of a fruit for Arbeloa......
"Sergio Ramos was suspended, Carvalho played, and he and Pepe's Portuguese defence was a lot more reassuring, but today Sevilla's Negredo and Canute both started at the same time, both of them are high-impact strikers, and I feel that Real Madrid's defense is still not safe enough, unless Khedira focuses on defense."
……
The race is on.
Real Madrid took the lead in kicking off, and it was Arbeloa, who was not favored by Morientes, who took the lead in the attack, and a long pass over the top went directly to Di Maria, Di Maria crossed from the left, and Ronaldo headed the goal in the middle of the penalty area, but the ball was too positive and was confiscated by the goalkeeper.
Sevilla immediately counterattacked, the formation of 442 gave them enough width, and soon Navas got the ball on the left side, he did not entangle with his national team teammate Carvajal, and immediately crossed with his left foot, Canute really grabbed the ball under the cover of Negredo, and the young Pepe had no problem staring at Negredo, but the aging Carvalho defense Kanute was a little weak, the jump height was not as high as Canute, Kanute headed the goal from 11 yards in front of the Real Madrid goal, but failed to top the power, and the ball was confiscated by Casillas.
Casillas threw the ball to Modric with a big hand, and Modric immediately stuffed it to Dong Fangzhuo on the right side, Dong Fangzhuo strode the meteor for more than ten meters, and then transferred a big foot to Di Maria on the left side, Di Maria swept the ball directly to the middle without stopping, and Ronaldo stepped forward and also volleyed with his left foot.
Duang!
The ball hit the left-hand post and the Bernabeu stands let out a sigh.
By the end of the day, Real Madrid took the lead.
The ball bounced back to Di Maria's feet, who curled a curl with his left foot and tried to lob a shot at the far post, but the strength was not well mastered and it was deflected wide......
"Real Madrid players have their shooting boots infected by Benzema?"
"Before the game, Benzema complained that he didn't show too many shots on goal, and then Mourinho threw him out of the squad without any affection, maybe now he misses Benzema a little. Benzema's shooting was not great, but his playmaking and ball play in front of goal was quite beautiful, which was unmatched by other players. ”
The Sevilla goalkeeper pressed the ball, signaled to his teammates to concentrate more, and then drove the ball out, still in the direction of Navas, who was very active, facing Carvajal, this time suddenly turned to the outside, rushed to the side, found the passing space and immediately passed the ball.
Kanoute leaned on Pepe with his back and slammed the ball across to the rushing Croatian midfielder Rakitic, who fired a blast from outside the box......
Without stopping, Real Madrid immediately launched a counterattack.
Modric and Alonso cleverly blocked the pass in succession, and then distributed the ball to Dong Fangzhuo, Dong Fangzhuo knocked directly to Ronaldo, and Ronaldo also came with a long shot, but it was wide of the near corner.
"Ronaldo has three chances to shoot on goal, Benzema is a little wronged, in fact, the biggest wave shot is Ronaldo, not Benzema."
Accidentally, Morientes gave Ronaldo the title of the king of prodigal shooting.
Ronaldo himself was quite unhappy, frowning and walking back, the ball flew over his head, and Sevilla played very succinctly, trying to get the ball through the midfield as quickly as possible.
Jokola in the middle grabbed the ball before Modric, then quickly pulled the ball to make room and immediately passed through!
Negredo, who was originally running slowly and horizontally, suddenly got rid of Pepe and stepped forward!
As soon as the left foot stops, the right foot will be resolutely strafed!
The ball is in!
Beep
The linesman raised his signal for offside......
A sneer crossed Pepe's face.
Hey......
It's like, you really thought I'd let you take the ball and shoot so easily?
Negredo's goal was ruled out for offside.
That's right, this is a deliberate offside tactic created by Pepe, and Negredo thinks too much.
However, Casillas' goal kick was stopped by Rakitic at the back, and Navas immediately split Navas on the left, Navas faced Carvajal, and the continuous bicycle action forced the latter to kick the ball out of the bottom line, and Sevilla got a corner kick opportunity.
A corner kick is taken, Canute's header is crossed back, and Rakitic volleys a left-footed volley from the edge of the box!
Smack, the ball is slightly off.
The game played 20 minutes, and the number of shots on goal between the two sides was actually equal.
Two minutes later, Alonso unleashed a long ball at the back, Dong Fangzhuoka got the ball in front of Romaric and was about to turn when Rakitic came up and immediately swept him down.
"Huh! Pretty! ”
"Rakitic did a great job."
"You have to deal with China Dong like this!"
The Sevilla fans in the stands were in a state of ecstasy.
And some Barcelona fans who followed Real Madrid's score in front of the TV were even more excited.
"Didn't Barcelona say they wanted to buy Rakitic?"
"How easy this guy is, he has Barcelona genes......"
The position was not good, Ronaldo rushed to take the free-kick, only for Morientes to speak surprisingly again.
"Ah, Ronaldo's fifth shot on goal, the planes in the sky were all shot down by him."
……
Half an hour later, the score was still 0:0.
It seems that Morientes's words also let Ronaldo hear, in the 31st minute, Ronaldo missed another good opportunity, Dong Fangzhuo and Di Maria continued short passes, Dong Fangzhuo pulled to the left side to send a diagonal pass to Ronaldo, Ronaldo from Sergio Sanchez side, left foot small angle push far foot, but was blocked by goalkeeper Ballas.
"God, the sixth shot! Mourinho will definitely regret not taking Benzema with him! ”
"There are dark clouds over Ronaldo's head, and he's cursed."
"Six shots on goal, but not a single one. He's in pretty bad shape. ”
"It's giving Sevilla a chance."
"If you waste so many opportunities, you will be punished!"
"What a wave!"
The anxious Ronaldo then fell into the trap set by Sevilla in succession, and the more he played, the worse it became.
However, Negredo then tried a long-range shot that also went wide. Then Navarro and Canute brought down Di Maria and Dong Fangzhuo on the wing and received yellow cards in succession, which may be the biggest takeaway from Real Madrid's game so far......
Seeing that the first half of the game was about to end, in the 45th minute, Ronaldo finally took a hand, he pulled to the left wing, and sent a constant pass to Arbeloa, who won the ball on the left side of the penalty area, and the quality of the shot was quite high.
call
The ball hangs in the top right corner of the goal!
The Bernabeu fans were instantly boiling.
Beep!
The referee ruled him offside.
Arbeloa immediately stepped forward and beeped with the referee, but the Sevilla goalkeeper had already sent the ball out.
Romaric launched a long pass, Kanute in front of him headed the ball, and Rakitic rushed up quickly, forming a 3vs3 situation.
Negredo quickly pulled away to the right, but Rakitic didn't choose to pass the ball, but suddenly came with a scuffling shot!
Yes?
Casillas was stunned, he didn't expect Rakitic to play this trick, his position was too high, and he was successfully shot by Rakitic!
"Damn ......"
The Bernabeu stands were silent this time, as if death were coming......
"Wave it, wave yourself to death!"
