"Even though the goal was an own goal, all the credit for this goal should be given to Dong Fangzhuo, who proved himself in less than twenty minutes and did what Ruud van Nistelrooy and Smith failed to do. We have reason to believe that Ferguson will give Dong Fangzhuo more playing time in the following games. In the newspaper published on Monday, the domestic sports weekly newspaper reported on Dong Fangzhuo in the form of a headline on the front page.

"If Dong Fangzhuo continues to perform like this, then there will be more and more opportunities to play."

But

Not long after the sports weekly newspaper came out in the morning, an earthquake struck England.

This is an earthquake that has not been seen in a long time.

On September 1, 2004, Manchester United officially announced the successful purchase of Everton striker Wayne Rooney, with a transfer fee of up to 27 million pounds, and Rooney signed a six-year contract with Manchester United until June 30, 2010, with a weekly salary of about 50,000 pounds.

Coming to Manchester United is a star.

That's how Wayne Rooney treated when he came to Manchester United.

Ronaldo's current weekly salary is only 30,000 pounds,

Dong Fangzhuo's weekly salary is only 10,000 pounds,

But compared with Rooney,

The gap comes out.

The status of the team is obvious, and while Alex Ferguson favours Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney's weekly salary says it all.

When he arrives, he is at the heart of United's future striker.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Dong Fangzhuo is naturally no exception.

After Ruud van Nistelrooy is gone next year, Rooney will be at the heart of the attack.

With Wayne Rooney occupying a forward position, the other position is particularly important.

Plus then Berbatov and Tevez......

Manchester United's forward line is simply not done by people!

This season, it's so important!

Not to mention the future, let's just say that this season, so many strikers compete, even the bench may not be able to enter, the state before each game is very important, Ferguson can choose too much.

You can't play the main team, but at least you have to make sure to sit on the bench.

Then when you come on as a substitute, you can try to score goals.

Becoming a regular substitute is Dong Fangzhuo's clearest goal now.

It's far from useless to be ambitious, and to play the role of a substitute in a down-to-earth manner.

"Man, your opponent is coming."

From a distance, Ronaldo saw Rooney walking in the No. 8 shirt, and he muttered in Dong Fangzhuo's ear.

"That guy looks a bit DIAO, I don't think you can even get in as a substitute."

He told the truth.

As soon as Rooney arrives, even Saha may give up his main position and go to the bench, and then Smith will have to go to the bench if he plays left midfield, if he is defined as a striker.

You know, there's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

No matter how you look at it, it can't be Dong Fangzhuo's turn.

"No, I just need to play better than them."

Dong Fangzhuo shrugged, he didn't care too much, Rooney, it's not the first time I've met him, what's the fuss.

If he is already in his twenties at this time, then he is indeed far away from him.

But everybody is nineteen years old,

Who's afraid of whom?

"Okay, I'll pass you the ball." Cristiano Ronaldo patted him on the shoulder and gave him some encouragement.

"Then you pass it seriously, don't keep letting me hit the goalpost."

"I'm serious about passing it on, you should be serious about grabbing points!"

"However, the two of us should not be grouped together......"

"This ......"

Indeed, in the subsequent group confrontation, Ronaldo received the yellow vest, and Dong Fangzhuo received the blue vest.

The yellow vest represents the main force, and the blue vest represents the substitute.

However, Rooney did not play, just watched the game live.

"Dude, I can't help you, you can figure it out for yourself."

Ronaldo's face was full of apologies.

He felt that Dong Fangzhuo was really a little pitiful......

"But you still have a chance, I heard that guy had a little injury yesterday and needs to rest for a while, you have to take the opportunity to perform better."

"It's okay, I can't just rely on you, any pass, I should try to convert it into a goal." Dong Fangzhuo's mentality is very flat.

If you want to be a good striker, you have to find a way to try to convert all the balls passed by your teammates into goals.

To be able to compete with Rooney and the others in the summer of 2004 was a blessing in itself.

At least everyone can start at the same time, not four years from now.

Right now

The chances are equal!

Ronaldo is right, while Rooney is injured and can't play, he has to seize the opportunity to show himself, otherwise no one can help him.

But the gap between the main team and the substitute is still a little big, Dong Fangzhuo got few shots on goal, and more often, he had to run back to the midfield to ask for the ball.

But the ball was coming, and the teammate's attack was not strong, and basically lost the opportunity to attack in front of the big penalty area.

Alas!

Watching Ronaldo run all over the field, he was at ease.

sometimes

He was really envious.

Ronaldo's footwork is too slippery, allowing him to be in the midfield as if no one is there, but he can't, and his footwork can only rush inside and outside the big penalty area.

At the moment, you have to be very clear about your positioning, first of all, to be a striker who can score goals at any time, and then you can expect a little more.

So, when the salary is paid in a few days,

Is it to consider,

Renting a house with a small soccer field and gym?

Such a bold idea popped into his head.

Forget about sports cars,

At the moment, hard work is the most important thing.

If you have a personal training arena and gym, you can train all the time.

He communicated his idea to his agent.

"Are you crazy?"

"It's a lot of money to rent a house like this."

The broker immediately objected.

'No matter how much money you spend, if I don't work harder than them, I'm not going to be able to get a foothold at Manchester United. The house doesn't need to be good, the key is to have a training ground and a gym, these two points are the most important, you see if you can find the right one during the week. ”

Dong Fangzhuo actually didn't discuss it with the agent, because he had already decided, and just let the agent handle the matter.

Whatever the reason, he felt like he had to do it.

If you don't, it's too late.

"If you do what you say, then we will have to tighten our belts, and I will see if we can get you a big sponsorship in China, so that we can solve a lot of problems. I'm currently in talks about a couple of big contracts, which should be finalized soon. ”

"Well, the most important thing at the moment is to implement the house thing." Dong Fangzhuo nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Hey, I don't have to play football, what hard work do I have, you want you to play for the future, it's worth it, the fans in China are watching you."

A few days later,

The agent Lin Xu found a suitable house, which was a house in the southern suburbs of Manchester, the house was not luxurious, but it finally met the two requirements put forward by Dong Fangzhuo.

Since then, Dong Fangzhuo has moved over.

But the wind in the domestic media is not in the right direction.

Immediately, some media jumped out to criticize Dong Fangzhuo: "The ball is still kicked, and I start to buy a luxury house to enjoy." ”

"Grass!"

"The domestic media are all blind?"
