Chapter 163: The Biggest Joke
Manchester United fans and Chinese fans only discovered at this time that Dong Fangzhuo was actually a little crazy, and he had a kind of chic and uninhibited, fair and honest frankness, at least, he did not hide his true thoughts in front of the media.
As one of United's most up-and-coming players in the front line lately, he is naturally the most loved by fans. Even though there are still many people on the Internet scolding Cantona and Dong Fangzhuo, at Old Trafford, no one thinks they are wrong.
However, Dong Fangzhuo still received a warning from the FA, thinking that what he said in front of the media was a bit too frivolous, and he did not consider the bad effects, and he should keep his mouth shut.
Regarding this warning, Dong Fangzhuo just laughed at it, the FA doesn't seem to have anything to do with him.
Before the FA Cup, there was a survey on a Manchester United fan forum about who you would most like to start in the Champions League against AC Milan. As a result, Dong Fangzhuo won far more votes than Ruud van Nistelrooy, Rooney and Saha. Although three days later, Manchester United and Arsenal still had a life-and-death battle, the stubborn Ferguson still pushed Dong Fangzhuo up front.
He said: "Dong Fangzhuo was born for big scenes. In the fourth round of the FA Cup, we need him. ”
In this way, Ferguson did not rotate Dong Fangzhuo, but chose to let him continue to start. Of course, there were a few other players.
Fresh from midweek against Chelsea, we are on the verge of a game against Arsenal's Highbury. Ferguson weighed it again and again, and finally did not give up the Chicken Ribs FA Cup sandwiched in the middle.
He put Silvestre and Paul Scholes on the bench for emergencies, Phil Neville replaced the yellow card and suspended veteran captain Keane, the two wings were Ryan Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo, Dong Fangzhuo was alone in the front line, and Rooney was on the bench.
Looking at the problem realistically, it is impossible for the Lord not to know that the FA Cup is the most realistic trophy for Manchester United this season to ensure that they do not return empty-handed, more important than the League Cup, and he will not dare to slack off.
Like Alex Ferguson, the United players approach the game against Myburgh as if they were putting their lives on the line. A few vicious tackles in the opening game were already warning the opponent that they took it seriously.
Unfortunately, Myburgh's defenders were not known to have been mistrained by McClaren or made a mistake themselves, but in short, their performance in this game was worse than when Norwich scored three goals in a row in the last league game. When defending the Manchester United players, they opened up quite a significant distance from their opponents.
Manchester United's first goal in the 10th minute, the defenders in the Myburgh box did not press either Cristiano Ronaldo or O'Shea. They allowed the former to juggle two cushions in the penalty area, and allowed the latter to take the ball and pause calmly before choosing a comfortable angle to shoot. It is worth mentioning that the Northern Ireland player scored the winning goal in Manchester United's 5-2 thrashing of Crystal Palace last month.
Myburgh's aging defence, led by Gareth Southgate, became the target of any Manchester United player in the ensuing period. Dong Fangzhuo and Cristiano Ronaldo frequently staged thrilling shots in the penalty area, while defenders such as Heinze and Feye Neville easily broke through their defenses. Just before half-time, Manchester United bombarded the Myburgh goal. Throughout the game, the Red Devils had 14 shots on goal, with nine of them hitting the opposition goal.
Seeing such a huge advantage, the lord was finally willing to let Dong Fangzhuo rotate off the field, and no longer stubbornly used Dong Fangzhuo, and Dong Fangzhuo did not play his due role on the field, perhaps, he was really tired.
In the second half, the lord replaced Ruud van Nistelrooy and Rooney to form a forward partnership and played 442 instead. In the 67th minute, Gary Neville crossed through the midfield, Rooney successfully doubled the lead from 35 yards out against offside, and in the 82nd minute, Ruud van Nistelrooy headed the ball and Rooney volleyed a brace. For two years, Myburgh's unbeaten record at Old Trafford was put to rest.
It seems that he thinks too much, and before the game, he was worried that without Dong Fangzhuo, it would be difficult for the team to achieve good results......
Ferguson's old face smiled happily, but he didn't expect the team to win a big win at home.
Before the game, Middlesbrough boss Macmillan and defender Reziger wanted to take on Alex Ferguson to ruin a season for Manchester United. They have only two and a half years without a defeat at Old Trafford, but they miss the fact that the more games like this, the better the Reds are playing.
From the Champions Cup against Fenerbahce to the trip to Anfield, there always seems to be a trajectory of Manchester United's outbursts, with the more pressure and the tougher the game, the more the Reds speak with victory.
It's been two years, Ferguson is very happy to win at home again, and greet Arsenal and AC Milan in such a good form, and he has no words of praise for the performance of the whole team, "Everyone is in good shape, although Dong did not score, he played a positive role in the first half, Rooney, Ruud van Nistelro, Ronaldo They also showed good form, O'Shea, Heinze they also behaved like rocks......"
The only thing that made Ferguson a little unhappy was that the Glazer family began to be active again, and a new round of air defense sirens sounded again.
The British "Guardian" recently reported that the American tycoon Glazer, who previously failed to buy Manchester United, recently found an investment bank as a new financial adviser. According to the media, this is the beginning of the Americans' plan to reopen the acquisition of Manchester United.
Rothschild International Investment Bank is one of the most popular investment banks in the world, with more than 2,000 large clients in Europe, 700 of which are in the UK. Rothschild Bank has been working with the Glazer family since last Christmas.
It is reported that Glazer has made a comeback this time and adjusted its acquisition strategy. In the previous takeover of Manchester United, if the deal went through, the underfunded Glazer would have left the club with huge debts. The Glazer takeover plan reduces the debt burden in the hope of gaining approval from Manchester United's board of directors.
As soon as the news broke, Manchester United's shares rose from £241 to £254 on the London Stock Exchange.
At the same time, on the last day of the end of the month, there was news of Dong Fangzhuo's transfer.
"Chinese Dong has joined Arsenal for £8 million and he will replace Thierry Henry as Arsenal's new gunner."
"What? It's the biggest joke I've ever encountered in my life! Wenger almost laughed out of his teeth when he saw this completely unreliable news!
'Arsenal have been transferred......
"How does that make the current Premier League top scorer embarrassed?"
Isn't the top scorer Henry?
Dong Fangzhuo was used as a joke by The Times......
