Chapter 113 Role Models and Benchmarks

"Manchester United blew Southampton 5-0 and continued to bite Chelsea and Arsenal in the standings." "The Times" reported the result of the game immediately after the game, and analyzed, "Ferguson's abandonment of Ruud van Nistelrooy received As a result, the trident in the frontcourt performed very well, Rooney and China Dong scored twice, Ronaldo scored a goal and assisted twice."

"The excellent performance of three people can make people forget Ruud van Nistelrooy, Saha and Smith for a while. They seem to represent the future of Manchester United. The only flaw is that the opponent is the deputy squad leader Southampton. Bach can also perform at such a high level in the game, which shows that this offensive combination is trustworthy, if not, Ferguson still wants to invite Ruud van Nistelrooy back."

Although The Times gave them a very high evaluation, it also analyzed very objective facts. Playing against a bottom-to-last team like Southampton does not truly reflect the true strength of Manchester United. It is only trustworthy if they can continue to fight tough battles in the Champions League.

However, The Times seems to have forgotten that a lineup that was stronger than this had just reversed the rival Arsenal in the League Cup. Isn't this enough to explain the ability of this combination?

Compared with the objectivity of The Times, the report of the Manchester Evening News is a bit pessimistic-"In any case, it is wrong to put Ruud van Nistelrooy in the sidelines before the Christmas schedule. A top veteran who has experienced thousands of battles is always better than no big game. Experienced young people are more trustworthy. You must know that Manchester United cannot afford to miss a point. They are only third in the league, and even the Champions League has not secured the first place in the group! Isn't the failure of last season not enough to learn a lesson? ?"

"Lack of stable scoring methods, overly stubborn personnel use..."

Regardless of how the media in England reported, the domestic media in China were cheering for Dong Fangzhuo.

Sports Weekly published an article on the front page headline - "Why did he succeed at Manchester United?" "

"Dong Fangzhuo, who started as a wealthy man, was able to gain a firm foothold in Manchester United, not only because of his talent and ability, there are more players than him with talent and ability, but because he put in more effort than ordinary people. See Once you look at his training schedule, you can see why he's in United's starting XI now."

Then, the article listed Dong Fangzhuo's daily training plan.

"After getting up at 6:00 AM, do 3 minutes of yoga first. Sometimes I feel stiff when I wake up in the morning. Yoga helps to relax the muscles.

...

7:30 PM Indoor personal technical training on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, practicing basic movements such as stepping on a bicycle, oxtail, etc. On Tuesday and Thursday, free combat, Sanda, table tennis and other training (except competition days).

9:00 PM sleeps. "

The above training plan was formulated by Dong Fangzhuo when he was playing football in Antwerp, Belgium, and he has been training according to this plan. After returning to Manchester United and becoming friends with Ronaldo, he added a very important training content. In order to improve his agility and responsiveness, he tried dangerous training such as Sanda and fighting.

The current Dong Fangzhuo is definitely better than before. He used to have good physical fitness. Now that he has added various high-intensity training, his physical fitness has actually risen to a higher level, especially his agility and reaction speed. improvement.

Of course, this is just a physical improvement, not enough to make him a good player.

This article written by Qu Youyuan himself analyzed it from another angle.

"In my impression, Dong Fangzhuo is a very domineering player on the court, but he is a very quiet child off the court. But both have one thing in common, that is, he is thinking. On the court, apart from being domineering, he always He is playing football with his brain, so we can often see him score goals, his goals are not gorgeous,

But all of them are full of wisdom. He deftly escapes and runs elegantly. He seems to never stop. He can always seize opportunities that are not opportunities, and when he shoots, he is so calm and calm. "

"In fact, he surprised me even more when he was on the field. I remember that on the third day after the national team reached the quarter-finals of the world preliminaries, I ran into Dong Fangzhuo on the plane. He talked with me about Chinese football for more than ten hours. , I was very impressed by his chat. He said that he hoped that more and more Chinese players like him would play in Europe, train hard with him, and fight for the dream of football.”

"Some people say that Dong Fangzhuo's life is good, and he started with a wealthy family, so he is now very famous, but when we envy and envy him, have we asked ourselves how much he has paid? Have we worked hard every day according to a schedule like him? Training? If you did it, I don't think you would say that, and one day you will stand at the height of Dong Fangzhuo..."

This article was published on the front page of the "Sports Weekly" published on Monday, and was reposted on Sohu and Sina, which had the most traffic at the time.

Most fans have seen this article.

Then, everyone had a new and deeper understanding of Dong Fangzhuo. For a while, various famous forums were discussing Dong Fangzhuo.

"If the report of Sports Weekly is true, then Xiao Dong is absolutely awe-inspiring. He is the absolute benchmark of Chinese football."

"I thought that after Dong Fangzhuo became famous, he would drive a sports car with Ronaldo to pick up girls every day. It turns out that he trains so hard every day!"

"Indeed, Xiao Dong's dedication is terrible. If every player in China can achieve his self-discipline and hard work, then he will not be far from success. There is no shortage of good football seedlings in China, but the growth environment is really impressive. Worrying. Not only the growth environment, but also whether the players themselves can be strict with themselves is also very important. For example, Zhou Haibin and Zhao Xuri, who were called to the national team in the Asian Cup this year, and Chen Tao, who was called in at the end of the year, are they as hardworking as Dong Fangzhuo? There are also those players who are still unknown but have amazing talents, will they be touched after reading this report?"

Qu Youyuan personally sent a copy of the day's newspaper to Dong Fangzhuo. He thought it would be a very meaningful day. Dong Fangzhuo set a good example in front of all Chinese players.

In the future, no matter which player wants to become famous or study abroad, Dong Fangzhuo will be the benchmark. Those players who blame others and complain about their lack of talent should ask themselves, have they worked as hard as Dong Fangzhuo?

If not, what qualifications does he have to complain?
