Czech Republic, Prague, Reteska Stadium.

Dong Fangzhuo stood in front of 20,000 Spartan fans in Prague and started for Manchester United.

His partner was replaced by Saha.

He was surprised and thought he would be a substitute, but Ferguson chose him.

He also told him to run more and open the gap for Sahara.

What does it mean is that he wants to be a supportive striker?

It’s hard to violate military orders.

Ferguson frequently changed forward players and had no fixed starting striker.

Every forward player may become a starter or sit on the bench.

Surprisingly, Dong Fangzhuo actually entered the starting lineup again, while his partner in the league, Fanny sat on the bench, closely next to Rooney, who was also a substitute.

But it is wrong to judge that Dong Fangzhuo has become Manchester United's first choice for the striker.

After this Champions League match, Manchester United will play against Arsenal on the weekend, so it is possible that Ferguson will send any kind of starter.

Fanny scored two goals in the last round of the league and completely regained his goal form, but did not make it to the starter in the middle of the week, which shows that Ferguson intends to give Fanny time to rest.

Rooney may have been for some tactical considerations, and Ferguson deliberately suppressed him.

However, the midfielder still played with all the main players, with Keane, Scholes, Giggs and Ronaldo all appearing at the same time.

This game is actually very important. If we can defeat Sparta Prague, Manchester United will continue to suppress Lyon and rank first in the group.

Considering that Sparta Prague ranked at the bottom of the group and his defense was relatively fragile, Ferguson considered changing the front line.

But this is not the case after the game started. Although Sparta Prague lost two games in a row, they obviously wanted to get points in the third game, and Manchester United encountered a strong obstacle.

Their midfield and frontcourt play fiercely!

In addition, at home, they will definitely enjoy a certain home whistle treatment.

Giggs and Scholes were subjected to two serious violations at the beginning, which made them become very cautious later.

There is no need to take risks to deal with a team with the lowest points!

Even Ronaldo was restrained on the right side, and his usual majestic breakthrough was gone. Every time Ronaldo wanted to drive the ball to break through, the opponent's foot was very fierce.

If you want to show off, Ronaldo must ensure that his legs are intact.

so,

Rarely, Manchester United's midfielder basically shoots the ball with one shot, and does not engage too much in the midfield with the opponent, so as not to be injured by the opponent.

In addition, the defenders of Sparta Prague are all tall and powerful, Ferguson particularly emphasizes ground attack and tries to tear open Sparta Prague's defense through ground cooperation.

The pace is faster.

However, this extremely fast-paced style of play has higher requirements for the striker.

Because Saha failed to start for two consecutive games, he was obviously not suitable for the team's rhythm.

Two excellent opportunities were wasted in the first ten minutes, a bit like Fanny in the previous game, and it was too slow to get into the state!

Dong Fangzhuo has worked hard since the first minute of the game, but he did not cooperate well with Saha. The two rarely responded, and Scholes and Giggs seemed to be more willing to pass the ball to Saha.

After Saha got the ball in the penalty area, he chose to shoot directly or get the ball out of the shot, and he had no intention of passing it to him, and his reaction seemed to be half a beat slower.

Dong Fangzhuo ran out several times, but they were ignored by Saha.

As the core of the offensive, Saha enjoys some privileges.

Dong Fangzhuo did not. Since joining Manchester United, Ferguson has never used him as the core of the front line to create a special tactic, even if it is temporary.

With his ability, he is not enough to enjoy such treatment.

Even if he can score, it's not enough!

Saha was also anxious, and he wanted to score a goal. He finally got to the start, so he must be a little bit independent.

In addition, Dong Fangzhuo rarely leaves the ball under his feet, and after receiving the ball, he always returns the ball to his teammates, so he has no performance.

Furthermore, Ferguson originally asked him to run more and shoot in an open shot for Sahara, so he naturally didn't get many opportunities.

Finally, because the opponent's defender is tall and powerful, Manchester United did not intend to fly both wings in this game, but he often pulled to the left side. When he reached the penalty area, most of the time Manchester United's offense ended...

After playing for more than twenty minutes, the score was still 0:0.

Dong Fangzhuo was a little depressed and thought that everyone was playing too cautiously, afraid of being injured. He even had few breakthroughs.

He wanted to participate in more offenses, but the ball rarely came to his feet. Obviously everyone knows that his ability to take the ball is average, not in a good position, and he rarely handed the ball to his feet.

But if you get less balls, it doesn’t mean you don’t run actively. On the contrary, Dong Fangzhuo has to keep running and create space for his teammates.

Sometimes, most of the time he has to pull to the opponent's right side to create space for Giggs's dribble inward cutting.

These are all tactical needs. Dong Fangzhuo has no complaints. He just doesn't feel very happy about his teammates' game.

pity,

Even head coach Ferguson and captain Keane did not speak. How could he, a player of ordinary level, express anything?

only,

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

It wasn't his teammate passing the ball to him, but he "received" the opponent's divine pass on the left!

The opponent missed the ball when he cleared the ball and the ball fell to Dong Fangzhuo's feet.

This time is very different from before.

Because when the other party rescued the situation, Giggs and the others had already retreated and were not around Dong Fangzhuo at all.

There are only two people in front of him and Saha!

Dong Fangzhuo didn't think much about it and didn't wait for Giggs to come back.

Quickly dribble the ball from the left!

It’s not that he doesn’t have this ability, but he rarely has such opportunities.

Usually, a powerful midfielder dribbles the ball, so he only needs to run to catch the ball. But this time it was an accident. He could not have got the ball, but the opponent's central defender made a mistake and took the initiative to pass the ball to his feet.

Dong Fangzhuo, who had been holding it in for more than 20 minutes, would he wait for his teammates?

He quickly dribbled the ball into the middle of the penalty area and wanted to swing a big foot.

But after all, the opponent's central defender came up to block it too quickly, so Dong Fangzhuo had no chance to take off.

Taking advantage of the opponent's central defender's pounce, Dong Fangzhuo did not slow down his dribbling speed.

At that moment,

Racing,

He suddenly threw out a oxtail.

The outside of the right foot was waved outward, then the inside of the foot pulled the ball back, but the person staggered and almost fell down...

The whole movement was not very fast, very stiff, even the feet were seen, and even very inconsistent, and the heels almost hit the grass.

I don’t know if I was a little nervous. Although the movement was done, I almost lost my balance and had some bumps.

But it just confuses the opponent's central defender!

"Oh, God! Oxtail?"

When the central defender realized, Dong Fangzhuo had already pulled the ball to the right side of his body! He had lost his center of gravity and was unable to deal with Dong Fangzhuo at all. Moreover, Dong Fangzhuo had already adjusted his shooting posture and shot!

Whoosh!

The ball flew high towards the stands.

"Ah! This is the ugly oxtail I've ever seen!"

"Hahahaha! It's so funny, this oxtail!"

There was a burst of laughter in the stands, and the fans obviously had never seen such a clumsy oxtail.

"Huh..." Ronaldo rolled his eyes.

"This guy is really brave..."

"It's almost a little..."

Dong Fangzhuo shook his head helplessly, thinking that the shot was almost the same, but the result was still very high and he did not suppress his left foot.

The reason I was so anxious to shoot was because others forced me to come...

This is his first time trying to play some fun in the official game...

You can say that he humiliated himself. He is obviously not a striker who plays technology, so he has to play technology.

However, if he doesn't try, he will never make progress.

Even if you have practiced thoroughly in training, you may not be able to perform well in actual combat.

Maybe, the first time I thought about it a little too much.

It's Ronaldo. Isn't his Tomahawk free kicks often making jokes?

you,

What's ridiculous?

Besides, I got the chance to shoot, and just a little bit, your goal was shot through!

Dong Fangzhuo knew what the fans in the stands were laughing at.

"Wow—"

Pisps of boos were given to Dong Fangzhuo.
