"Let Rooney hand over the captain's armband is a great disrespect for him over the years. I understand that Dong is the most suitable person, but we cannot forget the contribution Rooney has made to the team. During the days when Dong left, Rooney has been struggling to support Manchester United."

"I think the captain's armband should still be worn on Rooney's arm."

The objection was Manchester United legendary youth training coach Eric Harrison, the most important old man around Ferguson. His words were quite heavy, and he did not care about other people's feelings when he spoke, even Ferguson.

"Alex, you can't make it wrong again."

"We themselves feel guilty about Wayne."

"The captain's armband is everything he deserves unless you give up on him."

Ferguson tightened his lips and was not angry. Of course he understood what Eric Harrison said...

In recent years, Manchester United has indeed been supported by Rooney and has made great contributions.

What matters is not the data or the trophy, but the dedication and sacrifices Rooney made for Manchester United. Here we will mention Dong Fangzhuo and Rooney, who were also born in 1985. Because of Ferguson's "biasedness", they eventually took a different development path. Sir Alex focused on cultivating Dong Fangzhuo and Rooney to develop their shooter potential, but ignored the fact that Rooney was born a shooter.

Scholes once admitted: "When Ronaldo and Dong were in the team, Rooney was sacrificed and had to go on the left or right."

After Dong Fangzhuo left Manchester United, Rooney once returned to the front line and produced beautiful data, but Ferguson never gave him the chance to take the lead. Baba, Velbeck and Little Pea can all get a share. After Van Persie arrived, he became a supporting role in the "Van Nice combination". So Rooney got used to being a supporting role, and even said that playing as a midfielder was an option at the end of his career.

It’s not easy to become the captain of Manchester United. Now Dong Fangzhuo is back. Ferguson now wants to hand over the captain’s armband to Dong Fangzhuo, which is why this quarrel has happened.

"Alex, you can't do that."

Eric Harrison was very excited, "He is the captain of Manchester United."

Alas, Ferguson sighed a long sigh, then raised his hand and patted Harrison on the shoulder.

"Old guy,"

"I was wrong."

"You are right, Wayne Rooney, now our captain. As long as he is at Manchester United, he will be the captain of Manchester United."

"Maybe, Dong doesn't need to be the captain again. He is the spiritual leader and the soul of this team. This has no conflict with Rooney. I'm thinking too much."

"good, you're not as dazed as you're old." Harrison finally turned his anger and laughed. "These two old boys are the most important players of Manchester United, just like Scholes and Giggs, no distinction between each other."

"Yes, it would be better if Cristiano could come back one day."

“…”

In this way, a quarrel that could cause cracks in Manchester United's locker room disappeared because of its affectionate side.

Not only that, Ferguson also began to make adjustments in the lineup.

In his long career, he has rarely played the 4312 formation since the Argentine Peron, but this time, he decided to fuck him again only because he had Dong Fangzhuo in his hand.

In front of Dong Fangzhuo, he let Rooney and Van Persie go, and Rooney finally had the peace of mind to play the forward position he liked without having to take into account everything behind him.

Because behind Dong Fangzhuo, three midfielders are steadily protecting Dong Fangzhuo. This may be the most satisfactory lineup for Manchester United at present?

The difference is that this may have to sacrifice some young players, such as Januzai.

However, it was not that Ferguson did not give them a chance. Ferguson switched between two lineups. When Dong Fangzhuo was not on the court, he played 433. When Dong Fangzhuo was on the court, he played 4312. When he played 433, he focused on the role of the two wingers. When he played 4312, that was Dong Fangzhuo.

The results are pretty good, but there is no doubt that only Dong Fangzhuo is the most perfect when he is on the court.

In the weekend league, Ferguson still did not put Dong Fangzhuo in the starting lineup, which disappointed Manchester United fans a little.

When playing away against West Ham United, Van Persie took a 1-0 lead for Manchester United early, but never scored again. Then at the beginning of the second half, Ferguson replaced Januzai with Dong Fangzhuo and adjusted the formation to 4312. Dong Fangzhuo played as the front midfielder, and Rooney and Van Persie partnered.

"Dong has assisted Rooney in a total of 45 assists, while Rooney has assisted Dong 78 times. Now both of them have changed positions. Rooney has gone from winger to front midfielder, and then to forward, while Dong has gone from winger to center to front midfielder, the two seem to have taken a opposite path. The difference is that the two are still partnering on the court. Today is very important for both Van Persie and Rooney. This will be the new trident created by Ferguson, three old musketeers. If Van Persie is replaced by Cristiano Ronaldo, it will be even more perfect."

Leinker sighed, "But there is never perfect in this world, there is no need to have any shortcomings..."

However, Dong Fangzhuo and Rooney quickly used perfect cooperation to clear out this faint sadness.

In the 65th minute, Dong Fangzhuo made a straight pass in the middle, and Rooney broke into the right side of the penalty area to complete the shot, rewriting the score to 2:0.

Linker shouted, "This is Dong's 46th assist to Rooney, and the cooperation between the two is still not unfamiliar."

Five minutes later, Dong Fangzhuo could have assisted Van Persie, but his pick-pass in the middle also tore through West Ham United's defense line, but Van Persie's reaction was obviously half a beat slower and missed the opportunity to shoot.

This is because they have not yet formed a good tacit understanding.

However, this regret was compensated in the 83rd minute. Van Persie pulled the backward triangle and passed the ball back to Dong Fangzhuo. Dong Fangzhuo made a fake shot and made a real pass. He dribbled the ball and rushed to the middle side. Then he suddenly passed the ball to Rooney. Rooney shot the ball and shot the far corner of the goal, scoring twice, rewriting the score to 3:0.

"Wayne Rooney, he hasn't enjoyed such a happy game in a long time. He is no longer the Rooney who is both a father and a mother. He can enjoy the game as much as he wants."

Just when people thought the game was about to end with a score of 3:0, Dong Fangzhuo took the ball outside the penalty area at the last moment and suddenly shot a curved ball. The goalkeeper of West Ham United could only sigh at the ball, and the score was finally frozen at 4:0.

The 4:0 score made Ferguson smile on his face. Half a season has passed, and only the last two league games have made him feel happy without a trace of pressure.

"Alex, how do you evaluate this game?"

"It's still a little bit short,"

"We need some running-in before the Champions League reopens."

"We need Van Persie to have chemistry as soon as possible, we are racing against time and we can outperform."

Although Manchester United is still only ranked third in the league standings, Chelsea and Manchester City in the front felt huge pressure. Their two teams fought to the death in the league to get three points, but Manchester United feels that it is not difficult to destroy?

Soon, the three teams will meet each other, and then the real decisive battle will be the one. If you want to remain unrestrained in the decisive battle, you will have to grit your teeth and win all previous games. Anyone who falls behind early may have to withdraw from the league championship.
