Chapter 377 Play with fire!

"Manchester United has recently ushered in a row of winning streaks, which also made Ferguson dare to put Chinese Dong on the bench recently. He gave enough time to rest for Chinese Dong, and the Manchester United captain has not scored a goal for a long time. He is still on the bench in this game. He can be completely relieved that his Manchester United teammates should be able to complete the goal task well. Sakha may have a turnaround in his career. He has scored frequently recently, and Rossi Jr. has also shown excellent form. I wonder if Dong feels the pressure?"

"Before the game, Manchester United boss Glazer told the media that there is no one in Manchester United who is not a seller. As long as the price is given, the club will consider it. Less than an hour after Glazer's words were released, Real Madrid from Spain immediately asked Manchester United club. It is said that the person they were asking was the Manchester United captain."

"Just say that the price Glazer offered was £30 million. That is to say, if Real Madrid wants to get the Manchester United captain, they have to pay at least £30 million. Does Real Madrid have a bit of a hobby of collecting Manchester United star cards? Are they planning to buy a star from Manchester United every year?"

"But the reply from Manchester United club eventually scared Real Madrid away because the Manchester United captain's value is too high. According to the market valuation, the Manchester United captain's current value is about 20 million pounds. However, if we consider the value of the Chinese market, the Manchester United captain is actually worth 30 million pounds."

"It's just that Glazer, who is business-minded, is he really willing to sell the young Manchester United captain? It's really unimaginable..."

Dong Fangzhuo sat quietly on the bench with a very calm face. He was not worried about the so-called goal drought. Manchester United won and his teammates scored goals, which is a good thing. He also felt that he was a little tired recently, obviously not as good as he was at the beginning of the season.

Ten days ago, Manchester United beat Birmingham City 3:1 away in the League Cup. Manchester United is also confident in this league again.

Since 4 games were to be played in 8 days, Ferguson made three adjustments to the starting lineup. Ronaldo, who did not enter the competition list in the last round, started, and Smith also returned to the main lineup. Brown and Ferdinand did not enter the competition list due to injury on the defense line. Vidic and young Pique partnered with the central defender, and Richardson served as the main left back.

It is worth mentioning that Norwegian Solskoa entered the bench and finally returned after leaving for 10 months due to injury.

As soon as the game began, Manchester United got a perfect start. In the 4th minute, Richardson broke through from the left and made a cross instantly when he fell to the ground. Rooney scored a goal from the middle and scored. Rooney scored three consecutive goals. Manchester United led the home team 1:0.

"Manchester United is going to win again!"

Reinkell set the tone for the game.

Scoring at the beginning, with Manchester United's recent hot state, anyone has reason to believe that Manchester United will usher in a big victory.

After conceding the ball, Birmingham immediately launched a counterattack. In the 8th minute, Husky received a long pass from his teammate to create a corner kick. Pennant took the corner pass and made a cross. Teammate headed the ball and rubbed it. Clemens scored a shot without defending the back point, but his head was cleared by Scholes. Manchester United avoided a disaster. Birmingham then obtained two more corner kicks, one Rooney retreated and kicked out of the bottom line, and the other was kicked out of the sideline by Fletcher. Manchester United's goal was in panic for a while.

The plot of the game was not as everyone imagined, and Manchester United did not continue to play against Birmingham City.

In the 11th minute, Husky headed the ball in the middle of the penalty area, but it was too far and there was not much strength. Van der Sar got it. One minute later, Birmingham headed the ball from the right and hit Husky straight, and the former Liverpool killer followed up with a volley and missed the goal.

"The style is wrong, Manchester United is being held down?"

Manchester United started to foul the channel.

First, Scholes and former Chelsea player Yarosic scored the ball in the midfield, Scholes fouled. Then Birmingham transferred a large scale to prepare for a left-side all-out, and Richardson quickly fell to the ground and tackled the ball to clear the ball.

Then Smith swept the opponent's player in the backcourt, Birmingham won a free kick on the left side of the frontcourt, and Yarosic shot directly, with great strength and straight through the wall, but the angle was too straight and was saved by Van der Sar.

Birmingham's efforts finally paid off in the 17th minute. Ronaldo quickly broke through on the right and was knocked down. The referee was not judged. The home team launched a quick counterattack. Yarosic passed the ball, Husky made the ball, and Clapen inserted the shot into the near corner. Van der Sar was not focused enough. After a quick save, the ball rolled from his armpit into the net, 1:1!

Rooney ran to protest the referee missed foul, but the referee ignored it.

In the 20th minute, Fletcher knocked down Batt in the backcourt, and Yarosic hit the goal with another powerful shot, over the crossbar.

After that, Manchester United cooperated in the frontcourt, Rooney made a cross from the left Smith. Smith saw that there was no chance to kick the ball and pushed it to Ronaldo on the right. Ronaldo's shot was blocked by the defender who returned to the defense with his body. After 1 minute, Scholes made a long-distance diagonal pass in the backcourt, Ronaldo quickly broke through, but the cross did not start...

Birmingham's momentum was even stronger after equalizing the score, and he was almost equally divided with Manchester United. Both sides were squandering opportunities!

At the beginning of the second half, Ferguson's expression was serious and he began to warm up on the sidelines. Manchester United regrouped and launched an offensive.

Dong Fangzhuo did not take off his coat immediately. He knew that the Lord was just preparing in advance.

In the 47th minute, Rooney headed the ball, and Saha followed up with a long shot, which was saved by Taylor. This was actually Saha's first shot in this game!

"If it weren't for his shot, I'd forgotten that Saha was the starting center?"

"The Manchester United captain has started to warm up. It seems that he will definitely play. There is not much time left for Saha."

Three minutes later, Richardson went downstairs, Martin Taylor shoveled out of the baseline, and Rooney's corner kick was confiscated by Taylor.

The home team Birmingham is not willing to give up a 1-1 draw. They can lose to Manchester United in the League Cup, but in the league, they don’t want to miss the opportunity to win Manchester United at home.

Soon they got a good shot opportunity. In the 50th minute, Scholes fouled and gave the opponent a free kick. Clapen took the penalty and failed to pose a threat. The ball was still in Manchester United's backcourt. Clapen made another cross, and Husky headed the ball near the penalty point and went over the crossbar.

Missing such an opportunity, Manchester United immediately ushered in a counterattack. Smith passed the ball from the right, Rooney cleverly missed, and Sakha followed the back point and easily pushed the ball into the goal. The whole process was completed in one go.

2:1!

Ferguson finally laughed, and Saha finally scored a goal. This also means that Dong Fangzhuo is not able to play for the time being.

Manchester United fans finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But they didn't laugh for long...

One minute later, Birmingham counterattacked, Pique and Van der Sar were "hum" in the penalty area, Husky quickly inserted, Van der Sar fell to the ground and saved the ball. Husky failed to seize the foot and stepped on Van der Sar's shoulder.

Perhaps because of this reason, in the 77th minute, Smith made a foul on the left, Kilkenny took the free kick and hung it into the penalty area. Fletcher failed to clear the ball immediately. Johnson passed by the goal, and Van der Sar did not attack in time, allowing Pantiani to shoot in the middle.

2:2!

At this time, Ferguson finally replaced Saha...

"Is it enough to just leave the captain for more than ten minutes?"

"If Manchester United can seize more opportunities, it will not be a draw now!"
