Chapter 76 Why

"The captain is leaving?"

"Well, the contract is not renewed, and there is still a one-year contract."

"He will be thirty-four next year, so it's normal not to stay."

"Yes, so Sir Alex is looking for a successor."

"This has nothing to do with us," Ronaldo said naively.

"Well, I just said it casually." Dong Fangzhuo thought for a while. It is actually meaningless for him to discuss these things with Ronaldo. Ronaldo is still young, so how could he think about these things.

Keane left Manchester United in December next year, and then he was replaced by South Korean player Park Ji-sung.

In fact, Ferguson has already been investigating Park Ji-sung. Since the World Cup in 2002, Ferguson has sent scouts to keep an eye on Park Ji-sung. After more than two years of investigation, he still thinks that Park Ji-sung is a very good player.

You know, even this year, Park Ji-sung is only 22 years old!

Will that Korean come to Manchester United?

Dong Fangzhuo was purely curious.

Of course, the next captain of Manchester United will not change. It must be Gary Neville. He took Keane's gun and led Manchester United to move on, then handed it over to Vidic, and finally fell into Rooney's hands.

What are you thinking about? What a distant thing this is!

Dong Fangzhuo withdrew his thoughts and turned his attention to the training ground again, only to find that Ronaldo was already standing in front of the penalty area and really started to practice his tomahawk shooting.

He really goes for it.

I saw Ronaldo's legs spread apart, his chest straightened, and his chin lifted higher than the sky.

This dick-like movement hasn't changed at all...

He can only help Ronaldo to get here, and what height he can reach depends entirely on him alone.

But there is no doubt that the result is definitely good.

As for myself? Certainly not playing such a complicated shooting method.

Dong Fangzhuo only wanted to practice the simplest and most unpretentious way of shooting.

In fact, he has never stopped shooting training. He spends a lot of time shooting every day. Compared with his previous life, his shooting skills have improved a lot.

It's just that he recently discovered a problem. No matter how good he is in training, it doesn't mean he's good in practice.

After all, there is no pressure in training, but oppression is everywhere in actual combat.

Many shooting movements can be easily completed in training, but in practice, you may not even have a chance to shoot. Even if you have a chance, you may not be able to grasp it, or you may be kicking an idiot.

What is certain is that his shooting foot must be hard enough, but the shooting method is quite single, and his lack of breakthrough ability has always been his confidant.

From the current point of view, looking for opportunities to shoot through continuous running is still his most important means.

It is also a very helpless choice.

Ferguson is still trying various combinations of strikers, but he has already begun to use Ronaldo.

In the group confrontation training, the free Ronaldo performed very well, not only repeatedly staged wonderful breakthroughs, but also scored beautiful goals, so Ferguson was more sure that he should use Ronaldo like this.

On the front line, Ruud van Nistelrooy was injured and Rooney was still untouchable. Dong Fangzhuo could only compete with Smith and Saha for another spot.

Rooney has a natural advantage, there is no way.

Smith performed poorly in the last league game, and it is certainly impossible to start again.

In the UEFA Champions League match against Sparta Prague at home in midweek, only Dong Fangzhuo and Saha actually had the chance to enter the starting lineup.

In the end, Saha got the starting position.

"Why is Dong Fangzhuo never the starter?"

At the pre-match press conference, a reporter from China Sports Weekly threw this question to Ferguson aggressively.

He didn't understand why Ferguson was suddenly cold towards Dong Fangzhuo,

It was hot all of a sudden. Mingming brought Dong Fangzhuo to the press conference last week, and then abandoned him in the blink of an eye.

Ferguson was rarely questioned, and rarely heard such questions.

Why?

Ferguson could have been mad at the lack of respect for him in this question.

What tactics does he want to arrange, which player to play, when will he explain to reporters, and be pointed out by others?

He is under no obligation to answer this question.

but,

Ferguson still looked carefully at the reporter from the East, but did not answer immediately.

He feels that this question is not just an answer to reporters, but to answer all Chinese fans.

Manchester United has a huge commercial market in China, with tens of millions of Manchester United fans.

It is necessary to give them an explanation.

"It's a simple question."

"Because Rooney will be on the bench, Ruud van Nistelrooy will be on the bench, Smith may not even make the squad, and even Solskjaer has played several games in the reserve team."

"Why must Dong be the starter?"

"Everyone has opportunities, but you must seize the opportunity to express yourself well, use your own advantages and characteristics to complete goals, and help the team. What is the mission of the striker? Answer me."

"Yes... a goal." The Chinese reporter murmured, obviously lacking confidence in his words.

"Yes, it's a goal."

"But United's strikers have lacked continuity and consistency lately."

"When our striker doesn't score, he has to give more for the team elsewhere."

"so?"

The Chinese reporter did not expect that he would be beaten back by Ferguson.

What Ferguson said seemed quite reasonable, but it didn't seem very reasonable...

It wasn't until the press conference was over that he sorted out his thoughts.

But why Rooney can?

oh,

It turned out that Dong Fangzhuo hadn't done well enough...

Even if Rooney and Saha didn't score, they were of great help to the team, while Dong Fangzhuo was far behind in these aspects.

It seems that if he wants to start, the only way for him is to score more goals than them, otherwise he has no advantage at all...

But how difficult is it to score more goals than others?

Dong Fangzhuo himself knew it well.

It's not that he is content to sit on the bench and doesn't want to be the main starter.

For now, that's all he can do.

But no matter what, he must always be ready for the game. He must come when he is recruited, and he will be able to fight when he comes.

Play, just to score!

Today he is a bit uneasy, he cares about what Sir Alex Ferguson said at the press conference.

Even if I am a striker who can only score goals, then I have to score more than them!

The goal is out of reach, but it is still your own goal!

In his heart, he was secretly struggling...

In the first round, they were tied by Sparta Prague in the away game. Manchester United missed the chance to reach the top of the group. This time, when they return to the home court, Manchester United must not miss the opportunity again.

Dong Fangzhuo will naturally not let it go!
