Chapter 379 The Curse of Harry Potter
(Wow, the group number has been published so many times, but there are still people who don’t know - 239, the monthly ticket was blown up by the Bay Area)
December was the month that belonged to Manchester United. The Red Devils could burst out with infinite power around Christmas. Last season, they set off a terrible winter offensive and followed Chelsea at the top of the list.
The same is true this season.
Manchester United maintains five consecutive league wins.
The process is dangerous, but the ending is perfect.
Ferguson did not agree with the Birmingham coach at the press conference.
"Although 4 minutes of stoppage time are rare, there are so many boundary goals in this game. Isn't it enough for 4 minutes? Of course, the point is not this. Manchester United has four or five chances of winning and scoring in this game. If Manchester United seized the opportunity early, the game would not be decided at the end. What's more, if Taylor himself did not make a mistake, Scholes would not score either. I think more often, it should be better to find the reason from himself."
"The reason why Manchester United can win is because Manchester United has its own Harry Potter."
"Who is that?"
"Of course it's Dong, our captain."
"The league he played in, Manchester United maintained a complete victory."
While excited, Ferguson compared Dong Fangzhuo to Harry Potter.
"Obviously, without Dong's press, Scholes would not have been able to get a goal. In the captain, we can always see a spirit of never giving in."
"Harry Potter's curse?"
After the 19th round of the league, Manchester United has indeed maintained a "Harry Potter"-style spell, that is, Dong Fangzhuo appears and the Red Devils will win. Dong Fangzhuo's law is indeed terrifying.
After Ferguson's reminder, the Manchester Evening News immediately summarized Dong Fangzhuo's goals. The result was indeed as Ferguson said, Manchester United won all the games that Dong Fangzhuo played in the league.
Although Dong Fangzhuo still scored no goals in this game, his magical power still exists. This season, he has contributed 13 league goals and 8 assists to the Red Devils.
Dong Fangzhuo has become Manchester United's future hope. When he transferred to Manchester United, some people doubted whether Dong Fangzhuo could adapt to the fierce competition among Manchester United. As a result, Dong Fangzhuo started against Chelsea very well. After a season, he was even more at ease with the Red Devils.
Beckham said not long ago: "Dong plays football on the court like Brooklyn (Beckham's son) playing in the back garden. He is full of confidence. When he is in good shape, you will be confident in him and believe that he can do anything. He is a bit like Best."
Dong Fangzhuo and Best, these two names have been frequently linked recently. The former Red Devils have passed away, but the Manchester United have found new hopes for them.
Well, Dong Fangzhuo and Best are two completely different players. Beckham said this obviously exaggerated the facts.
Perhaps Beckham just wanted to express the importance of Dong Fangzhuo to the team, not his skills.
After all, at Manchester United, No. 7 is always the most important number, while Dong Fangzhuo is wearing No. 9.
Since Best's death, debates about the No. 7 jersey have gradually emerged. Many fans have suggested that Dong Fangzhuo wear No. 7 instead of letting Ronaldo wear it.
For Dong Fangzhuo personally, he has never considered wearing No. 7, No. 9 is his favorite, so in an interview with Manchester Evening News, Dong Fangzhuo said bluntly: "I like No. 9."
"And Cristiano will become the greatest No. 7 in Manchester United's history, and Rooney may become the greatest No. 10 in Manchester United's history."
"You're the greatest No. 9 in Manchester United's history?"
"Yes, I think that's it. One day, Manchester United fans will find out how great we will be."
"Ferguson compared you to Harry Potter. When do you think this metaphor will happen?"
"Haha, I think if I were Harry Potter, then Manchester United should win more trophys, but obviously we did not do enough, and I think my teammates are Harry Potter, Ronaldo, Wayne, Ryan, Paul, and they are Harry Potter, and I am just the beneficiary of Harry Potter." Dong Fangzhuo praised his teammates by the way. He never thought that Manchester United's credit for winning was his own, but the entire team.
But no matter how modest he is, Ferguson dares not throw him on the bench in the league, and he doesn't want to experience another 3:2 torture.
In the home game against Bolton, Dong Fangzhuo finally returned to the starting lineup and sat on the bench.
No one can take away his main center position, and even Rooney can only continue to stay on the wing.
"Chinese Dong Chong returns to the starting lineup, Manchester United will win!"
"In the last game, Manchester United almost capsized, but after sending Dong, he immediately won the game. In Ferguson's eyes, the captain of Manchester United is Manchester United's Harry Potter!"
Leinker boasted about Dong Fangzhuo before the game.
"But for Manchester United, the defense is always their biggest headache."
"Although there are many people who can play central defenders, there are almost no ones that can really make people feel at ease. Sylvester likes to be absent, and Brown and others are difficult to take on big responsibilities. Manchester United conceded a total of 14 goals in 18 rounds this season, while the leader Chelsea only conceded 9 goals. Moreover, most of Manchester United's conceding goals are lost from the area where the central defender is responsible. This is also the reason why Manchester United wants to spend a lot of money to acquire excellent central defenders. But at present, it is difficult for Ferguson to buy another good central defender. Today he still has the young player Pique to play."
"There is another point, Van der Sar has been a little distracted recently."
"But no matter what, what Manchester United needs today is the Manchester United captain's goal, not an unreliable defense line!"
"We're going to see Harry Potter's performance!"
At 15:00 local time in the UK, the focus war began in the 20th round of the English Football Super League.
"Harry Potter! Dong!"
"Dong! Harry Potter!"
The fans also followed Ferguson's wish and shouted Dong Fangzhuo's name in the fan seat.
Before the game, he won again with Chelsea, and the points gap was temporarily widened to as much as 7 points, and Manchester United could only win but not draw.
Bolton beat Manchester United at Old Trafford for two consecutive seasons, with Campo and Diouf missing due to a suspension.
But Manchester United obviously wouldn't let such a thing happen. The game put a huge pressure on Bolton from the beginning.
But just like in previous competitions, the performance started with Dong Fangzhuo's teammates...
In the 3rd minute, Giggs' shot from 15 yards in the middle was confiscated by Jas Kleinen. One minute later, Rooney's shot from 25 yards in the middle missed. In the 7th minute, Gary Neville made a cross, Rooney's shot from 25 yards in the middle was blocked and rolled towards the goal. Jenner Copoulos cleared the ball in front of the goal.
"Do you start roaming again?" Seeing Manchester United stars start squandering opportunities in front of the opponent's penalty area again, Leinkell expressed concerns.
In the 8th minute, Ronaldo, who was also somewhat silent, suddenly accelerated to the bottom and passed a half-high ball on the right.
The ball suddenly fell and bounced up when it flew into the penalty area! French defender Ngoti failed to try to clear the ball at the front, but he kicked it in the air!
It fulfilled Dong Fangzhuo...
Dong Fangzhuo pushed his left foot and ate the cake easily!
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
