Chapter 70 Youth is Capital
Luckily,
This year,
Everyone is still very young, and they still have a lot of time to fight together......
"Was that a penalty?" Ronaldo asked Dong Fangzhuo.
He was on the side, he didn't see what was going on, and now he was curious.
Whether it was a penalty or not, it was a conflict that ignited at the time, and the penalty was the turning point of the game.
"Childish." Dong Fangzhuo glanced at him.
'You shouldn't ask me, it's over, Manchester United won 2-0. This is the score set by the referee, do you know when I say that? ”
"......" Ronaldo rolled his eyes, "pretending to be forced." ”
“……”
※※※※
It stands to reason that Dong Fangzhuo won the best player of the game, and he can attend the post-match press conference with Ferguson.
But Ferguson didn't take him with him.
Ferguson knew that the reporters outside couldn't wait to bomb Manchester United and Dong Fangzhuo.
Everything that happened today is too complicated and hot, and if you think about it with your heels, you know how the media reporters will ask Dong Fangzhuo questions, which is nothing more than revolving around the unwarranted penalty.
He would never let the news media hurt Dong Fangzhuo, so he asked Dong Fangzhuo to stay in the locker room, and he stepped forward to fight on his own.
At the press conference, Wenger had already roared like a shrew scolding the street, pointing the finger at the referee, Dong Fangzhuo and Manchester United.
You know, Arsenal came here as leaders.
They were two points ahead of Jose Mourinho's Chelsea and seven ahead of Manchester United, but after the game, Chelsea climbed to the top of the table and they relegated to second place, while United also closed on three points.
The most crazy thing is the way to lose!
Ferguson gave Arsene Wenger plenty of time......
It wasn't until Arsene Wenger said he didn't have the strength to end the press conference that he was late.
Surprisingly, it took Ferguson just three minutes to end the press conference.
Hardly let the reporter ask questions, he was talking alone.
Because Arsene Wenger has said it all......
Even Fabregas was choked by the pizza throw.
As a winner, he didn't say a word, and he was forced to pretend to be full marks.
After that, it's the world of the news media.
"Cesc Fabregas' pizza flies straight to Ferguson, 'fast food vs. 'fast food' Manchester United 2:0 Arsenal."
"Even if the Spanish guy throws pizza, he's very skilled, and he throws that pizza like a frisbee."
'After Manchester United's controversial end to the champions' unbeaten run, Sir Alex Ferguson was attacked by the Arsenal players with a lot of food.
The Daily Mail reported that their coverage was clearly biased in favour of Manchester United, and in this report did not talk about Dong Fangzhuo's penalty, but revealed Cesc Fabregas's pizzagate incident.
Apparently trying to divert the attention of the fans to Cesc Fabregas.
And this move did make a big difference, and Cesc Fabregas was pushed to the forefront.
But The Times is clearly on Arsenal's side.
'Referee Riley dominated the game, Arsenal dropped 50 games unbeaten at Old Trafford, a no-nonsense penalty changed everything, and the Chinese Dong became the key figure in the game, and his shocking fall in the game gave United the lead.
The Times did not mention Fabregas.
It's nothing, there's always a story every year, and there are several versions of the story, otherwise it wouldn't be a game between Manchester United and Arsenal.
Believe it or not, ten days later, when the Manchester derby comes, something will happen.
After the smoke of the war, people are still talking about this game, but it has no impact on Dong Fangzhuo.
He's been watching the game for 14 years, and that's nothing.
Ferguson's worries about him were unwarranted, and even if he were to face the media, he would be able to deal with it.
Of course, in private, he has never been interviewed alone, and he doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
In the next 10 days, they play a third game, away at Cheshire's Crewe in the Carabao Cup, away at Portsmouth in the Premier League before returning home to Sparta Prague in the Champions League.
Time is tight, and the task is heavy.
Ferguson just gave everyone a day off and then regrouped the team.
Ruud van Nistelrooy picked up an injury in the game against Arsenal and although the diagnosis is not serious, he will not have to play in the last three games and will have to rest for at least ten days.
It's not a huge blow to United's forward line either, given that Ferguson has a lot of strikers at his disposal, not to mention that Ruud van Nistelrooy's recent form has been really inconsistent.
A guy like Smith who can't play forward for N years is absolutely hungry for the forward position.
Crewe are a Championship team, so they don't need to kill chickens and can give some regular substitute opportunities.
So Ferguson simply boldly let Dong Fangzhuo withdraw from the squad for the game, and didn't even give him a substitute. It's not a give-up, it's a reward!
Rooney didn't have that reward and he was on the bench.
Smith and Saha were given starting spots. Two players from the reserve and youth teams were also brought up.
They are the young Italian golden boy Rossi and the young Spanish centre-back Pique.
The lives of these two people are also quite good.
Dong Fangzhuo saw them in training and sighed a little at the miracle of fate.
Rossi and Pique are actually like themselves, there were no balls to play in the past few years, but now everything seems to have changed, and the young players he knows have made it to the first team early or had the opportunity to sit on the bench.
The wheels of history are rolling, and the progress is accelerating!
Maybe that's good! Pique doesn't need to go back to Barcelona and Rossi doesn't need to be so ill-fated.
If they all stay, maybe the best outcome......
Although United used the bench and brought a number of young players with them, it was in the end that United won 3-0 away at Crewe.
The long-suppressed Smith scored a brace in the game, with Rossi and Pique both getting off the bench, and Rossi also set up fellow Rooney with his own dribbling before the end of the game.
The young Gerard Pique didn't make a mistake in the game either, and he was okay for the 20 minutes he came off the bench.
But such performances were not enough to remain in United's first team, and even the development squad was not enough.
Three days later,
When the squad for the match was announced at Portsmouth, Ferguson abandoned them and Dong was re-added to the squad, this time as a substitute.
"Don't be sad, one day, you will hear your name very calmly, and it will be so natural."
Dong Fangzhuo stood beside Rossi and Peake and comforted softly.
After all, youth is capital......
