Chapter 32: Hard Work Pays Off
"Wardfack!"
Ferguson directly burst into foul language off the court.
"Team doctor!"
This matter is definitely not small, the collision of the forehead!
The medical staff had already stood up, waiting for the referee to wave to them.
Soon, they entered the field, carried Dong Fangzhuo off the field nearby, and immediately gave emergency treatment.
The scariest thing is concussion, confusion...
In order to save the ball, Dong Fangzhuo was desperate and sacrificed his life.
"Man, you'll be fine!" Ronaldo ran over and whispered comforting words in his ear, and then returned to the field.
Barosh over there touched his forehead, sweating profusely.
Although it was a pity for his shot, he also felt a little bit of fear when he bumped Dong Fangzhuo's head just now.
How did this guy come out? It's like a ghost.
Otherwise it's a goal!
Although the referee resumed the game, the attention of Manchester United fans was on Dong Fangzhuo.
The team doctor rubbed his head for a while,
Soon, he stood up again!
"Dong!"
"Good job!"
In an instant, the Dream Theater roared like a tsunami, and everyone cheered.
With firm eyes, Dong Fangzhuo strode back to the substitution area.
Ferguson walked up to ask quickly.
"Son, are you okay?"
"Boss, no problem." Dong Fangzhuo patted his chest, still staring at the court.
It's nothing serious, but my head hurts a bit, but I can still continue to fight!
One assist is not enough, no goal has been scored, how could he leave the field early!
This double red meeting is the best chance to prove yourself!
Dong Fangzhuo was unwilling to end.
"Very good, continue!"
With such a brave and powerful fighter, if he was not really injured, how could Ferguson be willing to let him end.
He wished there were more characters like Keane and Dong Fangzhuo on the field.
Manchester United must have the blood and tradition of Manchester United.
If Ronaldo can succeed Beckham,
The newly arrived Rooney can support the striker,
So,
Dong Fangzhuo should inherit the spirit of Manchester United!
At that moment, such an idea popped into Ferguson's head.
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
When he appeared again, all the Old Trafford fans once again gave him huge applause.
"Chinese Dong, Manchester United's warrior!"
"The fans gave him the most enthusiastic voice!"
"He's back on the pitch!"
"Oh, this guy, isn't he dead yet? Come up again? Is his head made of stone?" KOP fans don't want to see Dong Fangzhuo now, this guy is a bit evil for Liverpool.
"I don't want to see this guy, can he go off the field directly, if it weren't for him, Liverpool would have been tied! Just now Baros should have hit harder and let him go to the hospital with a concussion."
They blamed Dong Fangzhuo for Liverpool's lag.
Ferguson adjusted the defensive formation, Keane and Scholes deliberately retreated, narrowed the center, and tried to avoid giving Liverpool the opportunity to shoot long-range midfielders.
There was not much time until the end of the first half. Even Smith was pulled back by Ferguson. There were only Van Nistelrooy and Dong Fangzhuo in front, and Ronaldo on the right. Even Ronaldo had to focus on defense.
Van Nistelrooy was at the front, and Dong Fangzhuo pulled back slightly.
finally,
They went into the halftime break with a score of 1:0.
In the locker room, Ferguson was worried and asked the team doctor to check Dong Fangzhuo again.
For Ferguson, he originally had two plans.
The original plan was,
If Dong Fangzhuo can only perform like the opening, then he may replace him at any time.
Later, Dong Fangzhuo fought more and more bravely, and Ferguson gave up this plan. He affirmed Dong Fangzhuo and hoped that he would play as long as possible.
Leading by one goal is not safe, he needs a player as desperate as Dong Fangzhuo.
As long as he is not injured, he would rather replace Van Nistelrooy.
Of course, this is not the time yet.
When the second half restarted, he replaced Smith with Fletcher. Smith's performance has always been quite satisfactory, and he has no merits or faults, but this is not enough for Ferguson.
After Fletcher came on the field, he switched positions with Ronaldo. Fletcher played as a right back when he first debuted, and Ronaldo can play both left and right.
Fletcher?
Dong Fangzhuo quickly reviewed this guy in his mind.
Fletcher can play right forward, right back and defensive midfielder, which is equivalent to a panacea.
The Scot with Irish ancestry is a player Ferguson loves very much. His playing can increase the thickness and hardness of Manchester United's defense, and he will not be inferior in offense.
Ferguson may have taken into account that Liverpool's midfielder's long-range shooting ability is too strong, so he sent Fletcher up.
Now that Manchester United leads Liverpool 1:0, there is no need to let Smith, who is strong in offense and weak in defense, stay on the court again.
To Dong Fangzhuo's surprise, Fanny actually took the initiative to cross positions with him.
And stay on the right and stop running?
Is it because Ronaldo ran to the left? Dong Fangzhuo was a little puzzled.
Or because Fletcher is on the right and he thinks Fletcher can give him a good pass?
The switch of the two of them also made Liverpool's two central defenders Hyypia and Carragher also switch positions...
After Fletcher came up, at least Manchester United became more stable defensively than in the first half.
After all, Fletcher is now focusing on defense.
Alonso and the others have little chance to kick in front of Manchester United's penalty area.
Maybe Van Nistelrooy wasn't thinking about any good pass from Fletcher to him, but he just didn't want to cooperate with Ronaldo on the left.
He played with emotion and there was a clear lack of work ethic.
Ferguson replaced him with Solskjaer in the 55th minute.
For Van Nistelrooy, he played a very ordinary game, and the Double Reds seemed to have nothing to do with him.
He ended sullenly, but received no applause.
Maybe not if he scored goals.
The reason why Ferguson went to Solskjaer instead of Saha may be considering the enthusiasm and unity of the players, which is exactly the opposite of the starting lineup he sent.
As soon as Ruud van Nistelrooy was off the field, Fletcher made a brave tackle. He tackled the ball from Liverpool captain Gerrard's feet, and then sent a precise long pass to Ronaldo on the left!
Ronaldo at this age is on the wing and has no fear of any opponent at all. Even if his opponent changes from Liverpool's left back to right back, he has taken the correct photo.
Liverpool's right back Finnan was eaten raw by Ronaldo on the left!
Pure speed raw!
The fans in the stands immediately screamed, Manchester United has not had such a crazy player for a long time, the last one was Ryan Giggs!
Dong Fangzhuo didn't even think about going to meet him. When Ronaldo broke through, he and Solskjaer ambush in the penalty area, one in front and one behind.
After passing Finnan, Ronaldo continued to dribble the ball towards the penalty area.
There was no way, Carragher could only make up for it and gave up defending Dong Fangzhuo. It depends on whether Alonso and the others can come back in time to defend Dong Fangzhuo.
But how fast Ronaldo is, before Alonso ran back to the penalty area, Ronaldo had already passed the ball.
Dong Fangzhuo faced the goalkeeper almost alone.
Although he heard the wind running behind him, he was still calm.
This cake... must be eaten!
The left foot took advantage of the situation and calmly strafed, and the ball stuck to the left post and went into the net!
Hard work pays off!
