Chapter Seventy-Seven: Manchester United Falling Behind?

Sparta Prague almost lost their qualification for the tournament, in a group where Lyon were first, Manchester United second, PSV Eindhoven third and Sparta Prague fourth.

Sparta Prague can now only find a way to fight for third place in the Europa League.

But at Old Trafford, will they have such an opportunity?

Manchester United, who are sharpening their knives, were held to a 0-0 draw by Portsmouth in the last round of the league, and there is a force in everyone's heart that is suppressed.

At this time, facing Sparta Prague, they were to be released.

Back at home, Manchester United, cheered on by the Old Trafford fans, the attacking frenzy rose higher and higher.

In the fourth minute, Saha opened the scoring with a header from Cristiano Ronaldo's cross from the right.

After several rounds of goal drought, he rushed to the bottom of the stands to vent his emotions.

Looks like he's coming back to life.

It's certainly a good thing for Manchester United, and finally a striker has stepped up and scored!

"This guy finally scored, and if he didn't score, he would be thrown to the reserve team by the lord."

"Win big today!"

Seeing that the situation is good, Manchester United fans are starting to be full of anticipation.

Manchester United have been in very inconsistent form this season, always playing a good game and playing a bad game, often many games have a good start, but always have no points, and the result is sad.

Unless United score early, the game won't run.

Manchester United fans are used to it now, and only dare to expect when Manchester United scores......

Saha scored, Rooney was certainly not far behind, and after nearly twenty minutes to wear off Sparta Prague's spirit, in the 18th minute, it was his turn to exert his power.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who switched to the left side, broke through with the ball in succession, and finally passed the ball to Wayne Rooney in the corner of the penalty area.

Wayne Rooney smashed the ball from the left side of the penalty area to the middle and finally fired a right-footed shot into the top right corner of the goal.

The score became 2:0.

'Of all the strikers at Manchester United, Wayne Rooney has the most complete technique at his feet and it's a pleasure to watch him get on the ball and there's a sense of anticipation because you don't know what he's going to do next.

"And the other strikers obviously can't do it."

"Ruud van Nistelrooy can only grab points in the box,"

"Smith is brave but loses his aura,"

"Saha could have been better, but he was inconsistent,"

"Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is already retiring,"

"And Chinese Dong needs luck in addition to hard work,"

"Only Rooney is the most reassuring."

"Put the ball at his feet and he'll tell you the answer."

Sky Sports' commentary gave Rooney a gorgeous compliment.

This evaluation is more pertinent.

"Of course, Ronaldo's breakthrough is also very pleasing to the eye."

There was constant applause from the stands, applauding their wonderful performance.

It looks like Sparta Prague is on the way and Manchester United will be looking for a big win at home.

Before half-time, Ronaldo broke through to the middle of the penalty area, made a one-two with Rooney, and assisted Rooney again, who calmly pushed into the far corner in the box.

The latter scored a brace and looked like he had enough Champions League genes.

3:0 at half-time.

The game ended early.

At half-time, Ferguson didn't say anything.

After the restart, Fletcher and Brown were called to warm up, but there was no intention of moving forwards.

Dong Fangzhuo's expectant eyes became a little dim.

This is a great opportunity to score goals, but the lord seems to only want to brush Rooney and them, nothing to do with him......

With a three-goal lead, Manchester United played without any pressure, and you can imagine how high Ronaldo played with them.

Rooney, who got two assists from Ronaldo, kept making balls for Ronaldo, and seemed to want to fulfill Ronaldo once, but Ronaldo wasted three chances in a row.

Fletcher also came up to find a shot to feel it.

Sparta Prague's goalkeeper was busy as a dog.

Finally, Cristiano Ronaldo's fourth kick finally scored, Rooney's header in the box was flicked, and Ronaldo followed up with a blast to score his first goal after changing positions.

It seems that everyone is happy.

But what should I do?

Seeing Cristiano Ronaldo playing so well on the field, how much he is looking forward to going on the pitch to score a goal.

However, Ferguson sat in the dugout, smiling and chatting with assistant coach Queiroz, as if he had forgotten that there was still a substitution?

……

Dong Fangzhuo could only hold his chin with both hands and continue to watch Ronaldo and them perform.

The 4-0 scoreline has not changed, but it has already made the United fans in the stands sing praises.

It wasn't until the 80th minute that Ferguson remembered Dong Fangzhuo.

It's a bit late!

No, he could have remembered him in sixty minutes.

At that time, Manchester United was already leading 3:0, and it was completely possible to let Dong Fangzhuo play.

At 4:0, there was still no movement.

He didn't choose to do that, that is, he wanted Rooney to score more goals and find better form.

Excluding the three-minute warm-up time, when Dong Fangzhuo came on the court, it was already the 84th minute.

The time left for him, plus stoppage time, was less than ten minutes.

Give Rooney 80 minutes, give him 8 minutes......

Poor guy!

The lord finally remembered him!

Watching Dong Fangzhuo replace Rooney, Ronaldo felt distressed.

What else can you do when you're out of the most rubbish time?

Everyone died down, lost the motivation to attack, and wished the game was over sooner.

"Dong!"

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't.

Racing towards Sparta Prague with the ball, he had to do something for his old friend, even if time was running out.

As long as he wants to, he still has enough ability to break through the opponent's defense.

Again, he turned the opposition left-back into a stake.

When he successfully passed the ball, Dong Fangzhuo had already run to the position.

At this time, the Sparta Prague players actually wanted to end the game as soon as possible, but who knew that after Dong Fangzhuo came up, the No. 7 on the left side would actually ravage their defense?

Dong Fangzhuo waved his arms in front of the big penalty area, and won the ball with his right foot and shot angrily!

The ball hangs straight into the net!

“Goooooooooooal!”

"Oh God, incredible! Magical! China Dong scored with his first touch of the ball! ”

"The score has been rewritten to 5:0!"

'He's not coming up to pass the time, he's got a lot of desire to score! He's a hungry little beast! ”

The players of Sparta Prague were stunned, but they didn't expect Manchester United to attack and score goals at the last moment!

This No. 26 is really going to completely trample Sparta Prague to death!

Dong Fangzhuo did not celebrate, but rushed into the goal, grabbed the ball himself, and ran to the middle circle.

"What is he going to do?"

"Manchester United are behind?"

Only the side behind will pick up the ball and run to the middle circle because of the hurry, but Manchester United are already 5-0 up.

So the commentators were surprised, the fans were surprised, and Ferguson in the dugout was surprised.

Teammates were equally surprised!

"Dong!"

Everyone's eyes invariably looked at him, and at that moment, they were all infected by him.

Offensive!

For this kid!
