"People see people bullying Manchester United! Now any team can win them. ”

The Times of London, a London-based media, taunted Manchester United with such headlines.

Especially after Arsenal's 3-1 win over Manchester United in the Community Shield, the London press laughed even more.

Dong Fangzhuo has just finished his trip to the Asian Cup and brushed up on his labor certificate, but Manchester United has won one and lost four.

In the pre-season, playing the International Champions Cup in the United States, Manchester United lost to Bayern Munich, Celtic and AC Milan respectively, and only won the last game against the underdog PSV Eindhoven.

The results were nothing short of miserable.

August 8,

That is, the day after the Asian Cup final,

They lost to bitter rivals Arsenal in the Community Shield, who continued to boast an unbeaten run.

However, there is a curse in the Community Shield, and the club that wins the Community Shield that season will basically miss out on the league title this season.

This is perhaps the only reason United fans can console themselves.

But Arsenal won the title last season undefeated, so this season is not necessarily going to be much worse?

And

Alex Ferguson and Manchester United will face much more than an invincible Arsenal side in the Premier League this season.

Jose Mourinho, who led Porto to Manchester United in the Champions League last season, has arrived at Chelsea and has squandered on players to form a luxury team that will win the league title.

Liverpool sacked meritorious manager Houllier and signed La Liga coach Rafa Benitez in an attempt to rebuild their glory.

But at the moment he doesn't have the heart to think about the league at all, but to get the Champions League play-offs first.

Last season's third-place finish in the league forced United to play in the Champions League play-offs against Romania's Dinamo Bucharest.

When Dong Fangzhuo returned to the team, Wayne Rooney had not yet signed a contract for Manchester United.

Rooney was the last to come.

Manchester United has signed England international Alan Smith, Italian golden boy Rossi, and Argentina international Heinze, just Rooney.

As soon as Dong Fangzhuo returned, he felt the strong smell of competition within the Manchester United team.

But the Champions League qualifiers didn't have anything to do with him.

One is that the time is too short, and the other is to bring a Dong Fangzhuo who has not practiced with the first team at all, what is the point?

Three are too late to register in the Champions League, and he doesn't even have a shirt number yet.

So he didn't even have the chance to go to Dynamo Bucharest, so he had to stay at home and watch TV!

Dynamo Bucharest came close to upsetting Manchester United at home, with the Reds only coming back with a narrow 2-1 win away.

After winning away at Dynamo Bucharest, Ferguson was finally in a better mood.

And then

He just remembered Dong Fangzhuo.

Although this away trip brought excellent strikers such as Smith, Saha and Ruud van Nistelrooy, it was only a narrow victory, and Manchester United were the underdogs.

Dong Fangzhuo's contract negotiations went smoothly and, as before, the two sides agreed a contract with a salary of £10,000 a week.

He didn't care much about the money, if he really kicked it out in the future, Ferguson would definitely give him a big salary increase, and now he doesn't have any bird feather results, he just isn't satisfied, and Ferguson won't bird him.

However, when choosing the jersey number, Dong Fangzhuo hesitated.

original

His shirt at United was the number 21, but it was after Forlan was gone that he got that number.

Now he definitely can't pick this number.

Manchester United's shirt numbers, 1-30, are left with two, No. 8 and No. 26.

He had to choose one or the other.

Dong Fangzhuo thought about it with his heels and knew that after Rooney came, he wore No. 8, so Dong Fangzhuo could only choose No. 26.

In fact, he had no choice at all.

"Why don't you pick number 8?" Ferguson glanced at him, a little disappointed.

He thinks that young people should have a bit of a competitive spirit, and they should also compete for the choice of jersey numbers.

After all, No. 8 looks better than No. 26 and symbolizes the position of the main force.

"I don't like it."

"So which number do you prefer? I can think about it. ”

"Number nine."

Dong Fangzhuo said very firmly.

"Oh, that's Saha," Ferguson smiled with a little satisfaction, and then said in a deep voice:

"Beat him and you'll have a number nine next season."

Ferguson began to stimulate Dong Fangzhuo again, in his impression, Dong Fangzhuo is a relatively shy and honest child, his fighting spirit and will are not strong enough, and his competitive and aggressive spirit must be strengthened.

"I will."

"I'm going to beat him in training as well."

Dong Fangzhuo replied calmly.

Winning Manchester United's No.9 shirt is a must,

Whether it is the previous 21st,

Or the 26th now,

None of them are enough to match his new identity.

But if you want to get your favorite jersey number,

There's only one way to go,

That's the strength of the strong.

Only by showing more strength than Saha can he snatch the No. 9 from Saha's hands.

Training?

Ferguson was slightly stunned, and a ripple rippled in his heart.

Xindao This kid is much better than he imagined.

It's not easy to beat Saha in training, Saha has already made a name for himself and is at the peak of his abilities in all aspects, which is not easy to say.

"Why not beat Vanney?"

Fanny?

This time it was Dong Fangzhuo's turn to be surprised, is it still possible to defeat Saha, defeat Vanney? That's really a bit of a fool's dream.

Vanney is the king of the penalty area, and it is impossible to defeat him with his current ability, and it is almost the same to steal from him.

Of course

There is a great possibility in the future.

Ruud van Nistelrooy later had a conflict with Ronaldo, and Ferguson directly sold the peak Ruud van Nistelrooy to Real Madrid in order to protect Ronaldo.

Before he left, he had to tie up Fanny and let him teach him all his skills.

Dong Fangzhuo has become smarter......

Learn from the strong and keep challenging the strong in order to make yourself stronger.

He couldn't know it better in his heart......

Will I be able to get a spot on the squad after three days?

He couldn't help but ask himself.

Three days later, United's first Premier League game was against Jose Mourinho's Chelsea.

this

It's really fate!

The first league appearance for Manchester United in his last life was away to Chelsea.

I didn't expect that,

In this life, it may be the first time?

But it seems that the difficulty is greater than in the previous life?

That time, Manchester United had already won the league title in advance, and the lord could play whatever he wanted.

But this time, it's a strong confrontation in the first round of the league!

Will the lord give himself such a chance?

He didn't know,

But what he knows is that he has to show a high enough level and form in training for him to be on the bench.

Standing on the training ground, he glanced at his partner Smith, who was also on the bench.

Is this guy's mind the same as his own?

Smith, who came to Manchester United from Leeds United, has already become a famous star.

But at Manchester United,

He may not be able to make the squad......
