Chapter 217: Divine Soldiers Descend from Heaven
'Look, it's that simple to score, is it okay to have a goal problem that United couldn't solve in the previous games? Isn't that the solution? ”
And just like that, Newcastle's goal was breached, and United got off to a perfect start.
Newcastle United had no choice but to intensify their attack or a decisive game would be in vain.
In the first minute, Shearer passed the ball to Ameobi, and Howard scrambled to confiscate the ball. This is the second rare opportunity they get.
United controlled the midfield, and the hard work of Kleberson and Paul Scholes in midfield helped Wayne Rooney and Ronaldo to free up more energy to attack, and also created more chances for Dong Fangzhuo in front.
Manchester United fans who have been holding back for several games have begun to sing at Cardiff Stadium, and this is the Manchester United they want to see.
No, Manchester United with Dong Fangzhuo is the Manchester United they need.
They are invincible and never let the team down, except for that Champions League knockout game......
Heinze and Gary Neville also provided more support on the wings.
In the 29th minute, Paul Scholes split the ball on the left, Heinze crossed, and Rooney's left-footed volley from the left side of the box went over the crossbar.
In the 31st minute, Milner was booked for a foul on Heinze. Newcastle tried to counter-attack, but the midfield struggled to support Shearer and Ameobi up front. In the 34th minute, Ferdinand made a clever through pass, Ronaldo cut into the penalty area with the ball and seemed to shoot, Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo failed to poke the ball that slid past the goal.
"Hey, man, are you passing or shooting?" Dong Fangzhuo even joked with Ronaldo on the court.
Ronaldo grinned and looked sorry, in fact, even he didn't know whether the ball was passed or shot just now......
In the 35th minute, Dong Fangzhuo knocked on the left side, Rooney shot hard with his right foot from 25 yards, Given's attempt to confiscate the ball but got rid of it, fortunately the ball grazed the post and missed the bottom line.
Former Manchester United midfielder Butt's move to St James' Park has not been smooth and his efforts in midfield have not eased the defensive pressure. At this moment, he found out how happy he was to stay at Manchester United, rather than being beaten as he is now.
Why, not a Manchester United player? He really regretted his decision......
Newcastle had a chance in the 42nd minute when Alan Milner's free-kick from the right was denied by Shearer's header, but he was also treated for an unintentional face wound by Rio Ferdinand.
Shearer is temporarily out of the field, and Manchester United can play more and less!
Taking advantage of this time, Ferguson hurriedly asked his disciples to rush on the sidelines, and he kept driving the players to press. With the game coming to an end and Shearer yet to return, the Newcastle United players had to retreat to the penalty area to defend.
Ronaldo doesn't even need to break through, calmly crosses from the right, there are as many as five Manchester United players inside and outside the penalty area, and when Ronaldo crosses, he always prefers Dong Fangzhuo.
I don't know why, even Ronaldo himself can't figure out why Dong Fangzhuo can always grab the ball that comes out? He can only attribute this reason to their tacit understanding, and he has a clear understanding.
Recently, there was a statistic on a media website that Ronaldo had a total of 11 assists this season, 8 of which were given to Dong Fangzhuo. In the eyes of outsiders, this is due to the tacit understanding between Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo.
Dong Fangzhuo got rid of Babayaro at the front point, and a lion shook his head to attack the goal and headed it into the far corner!
“Goooooal!“
“Goooooooal!”
"Dong, it's Dong again! He's Manchester United's super attacker, any goal is vulnerable in front of him, and he's scored twice! ”
"You see that Babayaro is also tragic, he, like his teammates, did not keep an eye on China Dong at all. Dong's current running and getting rid of it is too coquettish, he is like a cheetah waiting for his prey at all times, full of hunger for every possible incoming ball. Ordinary defenders can't guard him at all. ”
'2-0, it looks like Newcastle's momentum is gone, and if they want to chase two goals in a row, with their current situation, it's unlikely.'
Shearer, who had finished treatment, just wanted to return to the court, only to find that the team was sad again. FA Cup final? It seems a little too far away......
On the other end, Ferguson finally showed a relieved smile, and Manchester United was about to enter the FA Cup final nine times out of ten.
Hmph, Arsene Wenger, you wait, Manchester United is here again!
The Arsenal fans in front of the TV almost wanted to smash the TV, and when Dong Fangzhuo scored again, they stopped watching, and it seemed that Arsenal's opponent did not need to wait until the end of the 90 minutes to decide, or Manchester United......
Souness stepped up the attack with N'Zogbia in half-time for Faye, who suffered an ankle injury, while Babayaro, who exposed his defensive weakness on the left, was also replaced by O'Brien with a thigh injury, and Taylor moved to left-back.
There was nothing wrong with Souness's substitution strategy, but the team still couldn't recover from the disadvantage in midfield, so their attack couldn't play at all, and they couldn't even handle it defensively.
In the 50th minute, James Milner fouled Cristiano Ronaldo on the edge of the box, Scholes took a free-kick back to Kleberson, and the Brazilian fired a powerful left-footed shot high from 25 yards. It was the only time Kleberson had rushed to the Newcastle penalty area of the game.
In the 55th minute, Brown tripped Shearer outside the penalty area and got a yellow card, but after the set-piece was issued, Heinze cleared the ball with a header, and the ball fell to the feet of Ronaldo, Ronaldo launched a quick counterattack, and after rushing through the half, he handed the ball to Dong Fangzhuo, Dong Fangzhuo slashed to Rooney, and Rooney went into the penalty area to the goalkeeper, but his shot was slightly off.
"What a gap! This single goal was not scored. Where did Rooney's shooting boots go? ”
"If it was Dong, he would definitely not have missed such a good opportunity, and Dong's assist was wasted again."
Where there's contrast, it hurts, and Lineker did just that, with Wayne Rooney continuing to squander his goalscoring chances. It looks like Rooney will be ridiculed by the media again after the game.
Soon after the words fell, Dong Fangzhuo taught Rooney how to shoot.
Manchester United continued to expand the score in the 58th minute, Kleberson passed straight to Rooney in the middle, Rooney took the ball and shook a shot, but Bumsson did not eat him, the ball was kicked off accurately, but the ball fell to the feet of Scholes, Scholes's head seemed to have a third eye, the outside of his right foot gently flicked, and passed the ball to Dong Fangzhuo, Dong Fangzhuo did not make any adjustments in the face of the ball, and pushed the goal directly from 16 yards on the inside of the arch of his right foot......
"......" Rooney was in a somewhat complicated mood, but he still walked up to celebrate Dong Fangzhuo's hat trick.
He shot six times in this game, didn't even touch the edge of the goal, and got nothing. Why did Dong Fangzhuo score three of his five-legged shots and complete his hat trick?
This is too shocking, Rooney himself has to compare himself and Dong Fangzhuo in his heart.
Rooney, by contrast, was frustrated......
"Hat-trick! It took less than 60 minutes for China Dong to complete three goals, and on this day, he made people forget that Manchester United who can't score, and he also used his goals to tell people that as long as he is on the pitch, he will always be the most dazzling one, and scoring goals is never a problem. ”
'After his return, he continued his hot form with the national team, like a miracle from heaven, a hat-trick that put United in the FA Cup final early.
"Now, he can enjoy the glory of the end."
Yes, Ferguson immediately replaced Dong Fangzhuo with Ruud van Nistelrooy.
The rest of the game time became garbage time, it didn't matter anymore, Newcastle United completely lost their resistance, no matter how many goals Ronaldo or Ruud van Nistelrooy or Rooney scored, because it was Dong Fangzhuo who beat Newcastle United.
Manchester United won all of their FA Cup matches against Newcastle United and reached the FA Cup final for the 17th time. Next month's final will be between two Premier League rivals, Manchester United and Arsenal.
The Manchester United vs Arsenal match came again......
After the game, the news about Dong Fangzhuo was overwhelming, and a piece of information appeared that gave Ferguson quite a headache. 8)
