Chapter 390: Horrific OPTA Statistics (Fifth Update, Sixth Update) (Page 1/1)

Before the away game against Blackburn, the British "Sky Sports" released a news, according to OPTA statistics, in December 2005, the results of the statistics of the Premier League players were announced, and Manchester United striker Dong Fangzhuo ranked first in the total score, becoming the last data king of the Premier League in 2005.

United won six and drawn one of their seven games in December, with Dong Fangzhuo contributing five goals to three wins and two assists, one of which was for Paul Scholes' comeback over Birmingham City.

Unfortunately, Dong Fangzhuo did not appear in one game and was forced to draw, and then Ferguson used Dong Fangzhuo again, and Dong Fangzhuo continued to contribute to the team with strong consecutive goals. In addition, Dong Fangzhuo's shooting quality also made the other competitors ashamed, with 14 shots in the woodwork, five of which were broken and nine times cleared by the goalkeeper.

This kind of shooting statistics is also very scary in international football, and perhaps only an opportunistic striker like Inzaghi will overpower him in terms of statistics.

In second place is Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard. The Reds had a stellar December season, winning all five games and conceding just one goal. At the heart of the attack, Steven Gerrard played a vital role in winning five in a row, scoring twice, breaching the opposition penalty area 20 times and creating 15 chances for his team-mates. The English media described the Reds captain as the new totem for Anfield.

Occupying third place in December's stats is Chelsea captain John Terry. In the matches against Myburgh and Wigan, Terry was twice the decider of the match. Two crucial headers helped the Blues through a brief slump. In addition, Terry has another statistic to be proud of, with 262 accurate passes, which ranks first among all defenders in the Premier League, and even if you count the midfielders, Terry ranks fourth. Defensively, John Terry also delivered satisfactory results, with 72 clearances and six shots blocked, both of which ranked first at Chelsea. With such a defensive leader, Chelsea have not conceded a goal in five of their six games in December.

In fourth place is Manchester United centre-back Nemanja Vidic, and in fifth is Manchester City's central Barton. It is worth noting that none of the traditional powerhouses Arsenal were in the top five in December's personal statistics, which objectively confirms that Arsenal is indeed going downhill.

Naturally, Dong Fangzhuo also won the best Premier League ...... in December

Dong Fangzhuo remembers that at this time last year, he also won the best of the Premier League in December, that is, as soon as Christmas came, Dong Fangzhuo would exert his power to help Manchester United get points.

Who doesn't love such Dong Fangzhuo?

So when facing Blackburn, Ferguson can put any player on the bench, but not Dong Fangzhuo......

※※※※

"Hey, Iron Man is starting again."

"Guess how many goals he can score?"

"Buy some lottery tickets and make sure you don't lose money."

"Pull it down, the spinach company is very bad, they don't give Dong odds at all, they only give Rooney and Ronaldo odds, but these two people are sitting on the bench."

On the way to Blackburn, Manchester United fans chatted happily in the car.

"I bet that the spinach company can't wait for Dong to enter the ball shortage, otherwise they won't give Dong odds at all, they feel that investing in Dong is a failed business. They don't do the business that doesn't make money. ”

Manchester United fans drove towards Blackburn Rovers in a mighty car, and they saw the hope of victory in Dong Fangzhuo, who gave them confidence and the determination to continue to travel away to support Manchester United.

"Despite playing against Manchester City in three days' time, Ferguson still put Dong in the starting line-up."

"But there is still no shortage of good players around Dong, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs are almost cup regulars, and Patrice Evra, who has just joined Manchester United, has also been given the opportunity to start."

"Brown returned from injury and he took Neville's place, and Rossi also took a spot......

"Manchester United didn't win the last FA Cup, so the lord has no confidence in others again, it seems that only Dong is on the field, he can believe that the team can ensure victory. In this game with Blackburn, Dong could have entered the rotation rest, but in the end he still played as the captain! ”

※※※※

In the away dressing room at Ewood Park, Dong Fangzhuo stood in front of his teammates to motivate them.

"Guys,"

"The final is in front of us,"

"We have to be worthy of our team song,"

"We're going to win Blackburn Rovers and go to Wembley!"

He took a determined step and was the first to walk onto the Ewood Park pitch.

Phew—

Blackburn fans immediately booed Dong Fangzhuo.

"He's out again!"

"Damn it."

"I don't like to see him."

For Blackburn Rovers, the Premier League has been carefree this season, and it was a huge surprise for the team to reach the last four of the Carabao Cup, and they were expecting the team to reach the final by accident, who knew they would meet Manchester United.

It's just a matter of running into Manchester United, if you can make trouble for Manchester United at home like Burton Albion, maybe you can also advance, but Ferguson actually put Dong Fangzhuo, the king, on the field......

"Lately, the English fans haven't liked me very much."

Dong Fangzhuo muttered and laughed, now that he is away from home, most of the fans are booing him. Of course, that's because I'm afraid of him.

Lineker then deciphered Dong Fangzhuo's recent data.

"I looked at the OPTA statistics before the game, and the Manchester United captain's goal clearance rate was terrifying, he had 14 shots, 5 goals, and 9 were saved by the goalkeeper, which means that his shot conversion rate reached an astonishing 38%! I haven't seen a striker with such horrible stats. ”

'He didn't get many shots in the game, but he always got the shots. I don't know how to describe him, he's such a genius. Rooney needs to learn from him......"

"I'm just talking about his shot conversion rate, and if you talk about the stats of him hitting the woodwork, it's even more terrifying. It seems that he only has the goal in his eyes, and as long as he shoots, he will hit the goal frame. You can imagine how worried the goalkeeper must have been when he shoots......"

"But Blake is not a soft persimmon, although the standings are not high, but Blake is not Villa, West Bromwich Albion or Birmingham, let alone Burton Albyn, their Christmas record is no worse than Manchester United, after Hughes took over the team, Blackburn Rovers almost relied on fighting to survive relegation last season."

'This season, Hughes's tweaking of the team has paid off, they almost beat Manchester United on the road this season, Chelsea have only conceded two goals twice, Blackburn is one of them, and the home form is quite consistent, at least no longer fighting. In last season's FA Cup semi-final and Arsenal semi-finals, their rather brutal style of play was dismissed as "hooligan" by the media, and there has not been much criticism this season, but anyone who thinks they are easy to deal with is very wrong. ”
