Chapter 597 Zheng Zhi VS Dong Fangzhuo

Manchester United has won all of its last nine games against Charlton, scoring 27 goals and conceding only three. In the past 17 meetings, they have 15 wins and 2 draws, remaining unbeaten. Charlton last defeated Manchester United in November 1989, and their last victory at Old Trafford dates back to August 1986. The two sides have met 58 times before, with Manchester United having an absolute advantage with 37 wins, 11 draws and 10 losses.

"Ferguson actually did not send out the entire main lineup today. Kuzsak replaced Van der Sar. Ronaldo did not show up because of a slight cold. Swedish veteran Larsson got a chance. Rooney also only sat on the bench. Rossi took his place."

"In midfield, to comfort Smith, Smith also got it."

"After this game, Manchester United will play in the FA Cup again, so almost everyone in the first team will get a chance to play. They are now fighting on four fronts. If they don't dare to rotate, it will be more difficult to play in the following games. The Champions League is coming soon, and what Ferguson wants to see most now is that all players are healthy and in good condition."

"The camera just showed it to the stands. The Real Madrid coach actually appeared in the stands. Real Madrid had no match duties in the middle of the week, so Capello came to Manchester to watch the game. However, he must be very disappointed because Ferguson did not arrange all the main players. The lineup, especially the entire Manchester United trident, Ronaldo and Rooney did not play, only Dong Fangzhuo played."

Only 37 seconds into the game, Modric passed a diagonal pass to the right. Swedish veteran Larsson immediately dribbled the ball into Charlton's backcourt. Zheng Zhi made a flying tackle directly to Larsson's feet, and the ball was scooped out. sideline.

"Wow! Beautiful, Zheng Zhi's tackle is amazing. Larson must have heard the story of Zheng Zhi and Cisse." Although there was not much applause in the stands, the TV sets in China were boiling with excitement. Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhi had her highlights in less than a minute.

"Cisse must be thinking in Liverpool whether he should transfer and leave the Premier League. If he meets Zheng Zhi again, hehe."

Gary Neville threw a boundary ball vigorously, and Fletcher responded quickly and volleyed with his right foot from 20 yards. The ball missed the baseline. Fletcher, who has not won a position for a long time, looks very excited.

Although Charlton regained the ball, after the ball was handed to the frontcourt, the Manchester United players easily snatched it back and firmly controlled the rhythm of the game. Charlton's players pounced hard and tried to regain the ball through a full-court press, but their opponent was Manchester United!

In the 5th minute, Dong Fangzhuo ran back and walked with Zheng Zhi for the first time. However, Modric did not hand the ball to Dong Fangzhuo's feet and let Dong Fangzhuo and Zheng Zhi duel. Instead, he passed a hidden kick. With a diagonal pass, the ball passed between Faye and Diawara. The dexterous Larsson broke into the edge of the right penalty area and immediately volleyed, but Polish goalkeeper Kuczsak fought hard to save it.

Evra got the ball in time,

And directly passed it to Smith in front. Smith quickly sprinted with the ball and crossed with his left foot before Charlton right back Bogra!

Charlton's two central defenders in the middle failed to restrain Dong Fangzhuo, allowing him to leap high and shake his head to attack the goal!

But the angle at the top of the ball was too positive, and the Charlton goalkeeper easily confiscated it. Then Charlton made a quick counterattack. Zheng Zhi passed the ball over the top to find his teammate Marcus Bent, and Bent hit Romedal.

"Charlton's defense is not very good, but Zheng Zhi's pass is of great quality!"

Romedal pulled his right foot, broke into the right side of the penalty area and immediately volleyed a shot from the near corner, but his footwork was too poor and it went straight past the goal post...

"Charlton still has a chance, but the players on the offensive line are not good at shooting."

Not long after the words fell, Charlton almost succeeded again. Left back Sankefa assisted and crossed. Ambrose's header from 10 yards in the middle was saved by Kutzsak at the near corner. It was their first hit against the woodwork.

"Carrick, Rooney and Ronaldo are not here. They do have some opportunities, but they have to seize the opportunity. They have wasted such a good opportunity..."

Ferguson was a little dissatisfied and stood up and yelled a few words. Fortunately, Vidic pushed the ball away steadily and did not let Manchester United's goal be threatened again.

At the same time, Manchester United also began to pay attention to protecting the backcourt. The players in front did not dare to be too casual and strengthened the defense of the two wings. After that, the game was in a brief stalemate. But if you want to interpret it as Manchester United giving up offense, it would be completely wrong. Manchester United players are just patiently wearing down Charlton.

In the 23rd minute, as Ambrose tried a long shot in the middle, Kutzsak jumped into his arms. Kuzsak got up and threw the ball hard to Rossi in the distance. Rossi took the ball dexterously. With a touch, Holland was as unresponsive as a piece of wood. After easily passing Holland, he continued to drive the ball forward for about twenty meters. When facing Bogra, Rossi knocked the ball back to Evra, who came up with an assist, inserted himself to the left side of the penalty area, and Evra chose to cross!

In Charlton's penalty area, Dong Fangzhuo grabbed the forward point. Diawara behind him had no way to do anything. Dong Fangzhuo's head lightly touched and the ball flew to the back point and headed towards the back post of the goal. Goalkeeper Carson wanted to come out, but he didn't dare. As a result, Larsson stood out like a ghost and scored with a header from 6 yards in front of the goal.

"The ball is in! The ball is in!"

"Dong Fangzhuo's assist,"

"Larsson scored his second goal for Manchester United."

"He still has a sword that has not grown old."

The slow motion shows that when Larson scored, Zheng Zhi became the background king. Originally, he and Faye were following Larson, but they lost track.

Larsson was too flexible. After making two detours on the edge of the penalty area, he suddenly moved towards the back point.

"Zheng Zhi's thinking is still not broad enough..."

"This is not the Chinese Super League. Since you are following someone, you should follow them to the end resolutely and not give up halfway. If you had been following Larson just now, Larson might not have been able to grab this spot because of the hesitation of his teammates. , causing Carson to hesitate in his attack."

"Of course, Larson is a world-class killer in his own right."

"Although the ball was not scored by Dong Fangzhuo, Dong Fangzhuo's assist, without his header, there would be no Larsson's header. The first point is very important."

Huang Jianxiang also praised Dong Fangzhuo by the way.

Once Manchester United scored the goal, the rest was simple. Charlton was eager to equalize, so naturally he would not play as calmly as he did in the opening game.

Then Manchester United got consecutive shooting opportunities.

In the 29th minute, Rossi passed the ball from the left. Dong Fangzhuo still got a chance to shoot despite being double-teamed by two people, but the goalkeeper held him in his arms.

Four minutes later, Diawara fouled Dong Fangzhuo and was given a yellow card. Entering stoppage time, another Charlton midfielder Bogra also received a yellow card.

"This is fun, both central defenders got yellow cards."

"Both Charlton's central defenders received yellow cards. Pardew may make some moves. They have no substitute central defenders on the bench, unless he asks Zheng Zhi to pull back?"

"Hey, that would be fun,"

"Zheng Zhi vs Dong Fangzhuo."

After the game resumed, Zhang Lu's prediction was indeed correct. Pardew replaced Bogra with Song and asked Zheng Zhi to retreat and play as a central defender.

"Ha, that's fun..."
