Chapter 216 Transformation

Ferguson really didn't understand why Dong Fangzhuo spoke up to support Keane in front of the media. What is the little kid doing with adults?

Shouldn’t Dong Fangzhuo stand on the side of a young player and slap Keane in the face?

Keane has recently reached a deadlock in contract negotiations with the club, and now he has stood up and bombarded the team. Things are not that simple.

Keane's contract will only be one year left by the end of the year. If Keane cannot renew his contract with Manchester United, he can sign an agreement with any club by the end of the year.

Keane, 34, has a lot of questions about the future of Manchester United. Ferguson may have never reached an agreement with Keane because of his age and injury factors.

Keane's performance on the court this season is still remarkable. Keane has been an indispensable player for the team for 12 years since he played for the Red Devils. After replacing Manchester United superstar Cantona as the captain, he became the spiritual leader of Manchester United. Keane's hot personality also made him famous. But as he grew older and suffered from injuries, he began to deliberately talk about his career.

There were rumors before that Keane had a disagreement with coach Ferguson. Although Ferguson later emphasized that there were no personal problems between the two, who believed it?

In fact, Dong Fangzhuo stood up and supported Keane's idea was very simple. He believed that although Keane was 34 years old, he was still the spiritual leader and cornerstone of Manchester United. If Manchester United loses Keane next season, with Ferguson's signing strength, Manchester United's performance is likely to be still bad. Park Ji-sung can't save Manchester United.

A Manchester United team that is too young will not achieve the dynasty immediately. If Keane remains with Manchester United next season, Dong Fangzhuo believes that Manchester United's life will be much better. What is wrong with Keane's angry criticism of young players? In Dong Fangzhuo's eyes, Keane is Manchester United's treasure of the mountain. You can do whatever you want, but Keane cannot be missing.

Dong Fangzhuo is helping the manager but not the relatives.

However, the FA Cup semi-finals are about to come, and Ferguson can only throw these things behind his head and concentrate on playing this semi-final. Whether it is Manchester United or Newcastle United, neither of the two teams are playing all the main players.

Manchester United, Giggs, Keane, and Gary Neville were sitting in the stands due to injury and didn't even make the bench. Ferguson could only hope that the three major wounded players could make a comeback at the end of the season. Once they reached the FA Cup final, then Ferguson's hand may not be enough to play in the final with Arsenal. Of course, the premise is to advance.

On the other end of Newcastle United, Bowyer never returned to the team because of a fight, and Dale's injury has not healed. The main center back Woodgate has not participated in training because of Bowyer's accidental injury. Only less than half of the time has passed.

Neither starter is the most perfect player.

At 4:30 p.m. London time, England, the second game of the FA Cup semi-finals started at Cardiff Millennium Stadium. Manchester United faced Newcastle United. The following are the starts of both sides. The winner between the two teams will compete with Arsenal for the championship.

In the player channel, Cruivit hugged Van Nie. Cruivit had helped Van Nie bombard Ferguson in front of the media, believing that Ferguson was unfair to treat Van Nie, but Ferguson later gave Van Nie a chance to play several games. Unfortunately, Fan Nie himself could not be successful and became one of the sinners who was eliminated from Manchester United's Champions League and could not catch up with his rival Chelsea in the league.

And now, Cruivet's fate seems to be very similar to Fanny, and he has also been put on the bench.

The world seems to have theirs...

This is a semi-final of the FA Cup, not a league, both sides are definitely coming for the final victory. Whether it is Manchester United or Newcastle United, the result they want is to reach the final.

"There is a saying that offense wins fans, defense wins championships. Although it is not the final, I believe that both teams will play carefully! No one dares to attack rashly." Ringer predicted the direction of the game before the game, "but I believe that Manchester United will win in the end, because Manchester United has given up a lot of things for this game."

However, at the beginning of the game, the style is completely opposite. Will Manchester United be careful to retreat in the backcourt to defend?

No, Newcastle United is not qualified enough, and Manchester United has never retreated when playing against Chelsea and Milan this season, except for paying special attention to defensive counterattack tactics against Chelsea and Milan.

Manchester United coach Ferguson has never missed the FA Cup semi-finals so far, and he will not let this rule stop in this game.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester United launched a tide of attack, catching Newcastle United off guard.

In the third minute, Manchester United got the first chance. Ronaldo passed the ball on the right. Dong Fangzhuo, who ran quickly in the middle, removed the ball with his right foot at the edge of the penalty area, pulled his left foot, cleverly got rid of the tall French central defender Boomson and shot low from 20 yards, but Jiwen saved the ball.

Boomsong had been specifically told by the head coach before the game that he must keep an eye on Dong Fangzhuo, but his 190cm clumsy body was really helpless in front of Dong Fangzhuo.

"Fake, this guy is like a wooden stake!"

"Even if I'm on the court, I won't let Chinese Dong shoot so easily."

In the stands, Newcastle fans were booing and were very dissatisfied with the performance of the French central defender. Everyone knew that Dong Fangzhuo was quite threatening, but he was actually so loose in his defense.

Captain Newcastle in front watched in a cold look. Seeing Dong Fangzhuo moving like a rabbit, there was a hint of envy and jealousy in his eyes. It was so good to be young. Even if he took the ball and got rid of the defender, he seemed so calm...

Behind him is England's central defender Ferdinand. He wants to play like Dong Fangzhuo, but his physical condition does not allow it. His best way now is to rush into Manchester United's penalty area to grab the header...

However, the premise is that a teammate has sent the ball over, no!

Two minutes later, there was a controversy. C? Ronaldo broke through the penalty area and fell under Taylor's tackle. Referee Riley immediately blew the whistle, but he did not meet Manchester United's penalty requirements. Instead, he warned Ronaldo on the grounds of fake falls. The TV replay also confirmed that Taylor's legs did not touch Ronaldo.

Aw—

Ronaldo was booed in the stands. It seemed that Ronaldo could not change his shit and wanted to get a penalty by diving. Ronaldo pouted, it didn't matter at all. As long as he won the game, what's wrong with being booed by away fans?

Four minutes later, Ronaldo made a cross from the right, Dong Fangzhuo pulled to the back point, Scholes in front of the small penalty area failed to hit the ball before Rooney. Newcastle tried hard to cope with the strong pressure put in place.

In the 12th minute, Rooney rolled the ball from the left, Dong Fangzhuo took the ball and leaned against Babayaro, forced a turn and shot wide!

Dong Fangzhuo missed two good scoring opportunities, but Leinker praised Dong Fangzhuo very much:

"Dong's kicking is getting more and more concise. When the ball reaches his feet, he will immediately complete the shot with the simplest movement. Without waiting for the opponent to react, he has already kicked up. He is now a very simple shooter."

"After experiencing many battles in the second half of the season, his head seems to be more enlightened. He is transforming into an excellent striker!"

Newcastle didn't get his first shot until the 15th minute. Kleberson fouled Robert in the backcourt, and the Frenchman's free kick from 25 yards on the left was directly missed.

However, today Manchester United's goal at Cardiff Stadium is quite clear, which is to score the goal as soon as possible and win. Newcastle's offense is fragmented, and Hiller in the frontcourt can only scare people with his reputation. Manchester United's offense makes Newcastle's backcourt chaotic.

Finally, Manchester United broke the deadlock in the 19th minute. Ronaldo broke through on the left, Babayaro made a mistake in tackle and let go of Ronaldo and the ball. Ronaldo passed the penalty area with a low pass, but Boomson was dizzy and turned around by Dong Fangzhuo's coquettish running position. Finally, he slipped while trying to intercept the ball. Dong Fangzhuo scored with a strong shot in front of the goal.

“goooal!”

“gooooooooal!”

"I just said that he has transformed!"

"He can easily be in the water in front of the tall defender, and get the ball and shoot in one go..."
