Chapter 37 Winning the Championship and Passing on the Legacy

Dong Fangzhuo immediately patted Mbappe on the head from behind.

"Boy, your hands are so mean!"

“Haven’t you heard the story of Istanbul?”

"Never touch the trophy before the game is over."

Dong Fangzhuo is also very superstitious. He doesn't want Milan's bad luck to happen to Manchester United.

It is taboo to touch the trophy in advance. In the 2005 Miracle in Istanbul, Kaka and Gattuso touched the trophy at the beginning and halftime respectively. Everyone knows what happened next...

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Kaka!"

Dong Fangzhuo stretched out his five fingers and hit Mbappé on the head again.

Mbappe is young and really doesn’t remember this joke...

How old was he just ten years ago?

Although he didn't know why his life mentor was so nervous, Mbappe still didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly escaped into the player tunnel.

In the locker room, Dong Fangzhuo saw that his teammates were very relaxed and thought that the game was won, so they were all ready to celebrate.

Dong Fangzhuo and Ferguson looked at each other, both seeing the other's worry. But it’s up to Ferguson to take action to resolve this matter.

Surprisingly, Ferguson did not fly into a rage. Instead, Solskjaer turned on the TV and played a short video.

What comes into view is the 2005 Champions League final...

The video is not long, it lasts for more than five minutes, but it shows everything about that year. After watching the video, Mbappe suddenly woke up.

"Sh-it," he covered his mouth, finally realizing what a stupid thing he had just done. He shouldn't have touched the trophy. It's over, nothing will happen, right? He secretly glanced at Dong Fangzhuo and instantly felt that he had done something wrong.

He gritted his teeth and swore secretly that he would work even harder in the second half, even if he died, he would not let this happen.

And his teammates also fell into silence, because they all saw how Milan went from 3:0 to 3:3.

"ok,"

"After watching the video, go out and win the trophy back!"

Ferguson was not angry from beginning to end, which made Giggs and the others stunned. Giggs thought, Sir Alex has changed, he has become too gentle, and he no longer recognizes him...

※※※※

During the halftime break, the stand where Beckham was sitting was in chaos again. He should not have appeared here, affecting stability! However, he was still holding his daughter with a happy face, completely ignoring the feelings of the female fans...

Cantona on the side was wearing sunglasses and was focused on the court, as if he didn't know Beckham at all. In the middle, his mobile phone rang, he even answered a call, and then he and Beckham left the seat early.

The camera gave them another close-up.

Not long after, they showed up again, but in the VIP seats, and then actually started talking to the UEFA president...

They are all big shots with a good reputation.

River Plate made two consecutive substitutions in the second half to strengthen its attack, with Lucho Gonzalez and Gonzalo Martinez appearing at the same time. Manchester United did not make any moves and remained the same team as in the first half.

River Plate wanted to equalize the score, but they had to ask Manchester United if they would agree. The ball was hard to come by in the midfield. How could they score?

The focused Manchester United still did not relax in the second half. After spending five minutes with River Plate, Manchester United launched a quick counterattack in the 50th minute. Dong Fangzhuo made a diagonal pass in the counterattack. Mbappe, who succeeded in countering offside, shot a single shot from 14 yards. The ball came from 14 yards. Barovero passed between his legs and entered the net, 3:0.

"goooooooooooooooooooooooal!"

"Mbappe!"

"hat trick!"

"The game ended early."

"Mbappe is making new history. He is the youngest player to start in the Club World Cup final and the youngest player to score a hat-trick."

"He is definitely the best player in the game!"

Three goals behind, River Plate completely withered.

But Manchester United became more and more excited as they played. In the 62nd minute, Dong Fangzhuo knocked the ball across the middle from the right. Bastian Schweinsteiger came up and kicked the ball, but the ball hit the goalkeeper's arms.

Soon after, Di Maria dodged a tackle on the left and broke into the penalty area to shoot, but was cleared by the opponent's defender in front of the goal line. Manchester United, which had a 3-goal lead, continued to exert pressure. This time it was Dong Fangzhuo's turn to perform. In the 66th minute, Dong Fangzhuo made continuous passes in the middle and then forced his way into the left rib of the penalty area, but Balanta made a timely tackle to clear the ball.

Dong Fangzhuo still lacks a goal. He who doesn't score is imperfect, so Dong Fangzhuo also starts to become selfish.

However, although the River Plate team gave up the offense, they did not give up the defense. They used their bodies to block Dong Fangzhuo's shots in the middle of the penalty area many times.

"Dong,"

"He wants to score goals."

"But the defense in the middle is too dense."

"He has to find a way to cut through the middle and then the opportunity will come."

In the 68th minute, Dong Fangzhuo pulled to the left, played against the wall with Di Maria, and then passed diagonally from the edge of the left penalty area. The unguarded Mata scored with a header in front of the small penalty area.

4:0.

Dong Fangzhuo did not score a goal, but he received four assists...

Maybe, he won't be able to score today.

The remaining 20 minutes really become garbage time. Manchester United fans can't wait for the game to end soon and the awards to be given out soon...

If it weren't for respect for River Plate, the craftsman responsible for engraving the champion's name would probably want to engrave Manchester United's name on the trophy in advance. If River Plate is four goals behind, what else can River Plate do?

River Plate almost scored in the 77th minute. Vangioni passed in and Alario's header from 11 yards was saved by De Gea.

This was River Plate's last threatening shot. River Plate fans who came from afar booed. They were really disappointed with the team. In front of the European champions, River Plate had no power to fight back.

Not to mention the Argentinian fans and celebrities sitting in front of the TV to watch the game. Many people have turned off the TV in advance. Otherwise, why not wait and continue watching the awards?

Manchester United fans and Chinese fans sang and danced in the stands in advance, waiting for the game to end.

In the end, Ferguson replaced Mbappe and Dong Fangzhuo early, allowing them to enjoy the cheers of the fans.

"Killian!"

"Killian!"

"Killian!"

For the first time, the cheers for Mbappe actually outweighed those of Dong Fangzhuo.

Lineker was a little surprised. He couldn't help but sigh, "Is the power of Manchester United about to be handed over?"

"It's still early, it's still early..."

"Although Mbappe is very good, it is impossible for him to replace Dong now, unless several newcomers come together, Martial, Rashford, Januzaj, they all have to become the best young generation. "

"Manchester United's dynasty continues..."

beep,

beep,

Beep.

At the end of the game, Manchester United defeated the Argentine River Plate 4-0 at the Yokohama National Stadium and won the World Club Champions Cup!

Finally, the craftsman off the field was able to work, and he skillfully engraved the name of Manchester United on the trophy.

"Hey, little guy,"

"You can drive away from that Toyota, congratulations."

Dong Fangzhuo leaned leisurely on the bench, and he didn't know if Mbappe heard it, because when he spoke, Mbappe had already rushed into the stadium again.

The kid is a kid after all, and he probably doesn't even know what he has accomplished.

A hat trick in the final is an amazing achievement. It is normal for Mbappe to win the best.

At this time, in a corner of the stands, Januzaj looked conflicted. He had to go down to attend the awards ceremony. Although he could not be included in the finals, he could win a medal.

It's just that it's not a good feeling to win this medal...

After witnessing Mbappe's performance, his heart became heavier.

It took more than twenty minutes to set the stage.

But first of all, it is not the championship that is awarded, but various other individual and team awards.

First, there was the awarding of the best referee team, and then there was the fair play award. This award was taken away by River Plate. It can be regarded as a consolation prize!

The next step was to award the top scorer award, and Mbappe's name was called out. 4 goals and a prize! Not many. Dong Fangzhuo scored 7 goals in two games that year...

"Not used to it,"

"I'm really not used to it."

"It's not Dong Fangzhuo."

"Mbappe."

The fans are still not used to it. The person standing on the podium is not Dong Fangzhuo, but the young Mbappe.

"If Dong Fangzhuo really exerts his strength, I think he can win the top scorer award."

"Well, he doesn't seem to care about scoring goals anymore. He is not as persistent as before. If he had the thoughts of Ronaldo and Messi, he would probably still score the most goals."

"They will all grow old after all. Mbappe and the others will come up. Football needs to be updated."

"But, why not a Chinese to succeed Dong Fangzhuo? I am really afraid that the day will come when Dong Fangzhuo retires. At that time, which player will we place our feelings on?"

"Wu Sanshi!"

"Three stones..."

…

But they don't need to be too sad. Although Dong Fangzhuo did not win the top scorer, he won the Golden Ball award in this cup! This is the highest honor. The Ballon d’Or is the most valuable player award. The judges’ eyes were sharp. They still gave the vote to Dong Fangzhuo. The Silver Ball went to Kylian Mbappe. This guy won two awards. , laughing so hard that his teeth fell out.

It felt like a dream to appear on the podium twice to accept the award. The other young Manchester United teammates looked at him with envy and hatred.

The Bronze Ball Award is still given to Manchester United players, and Di Maria won the Bronze Ball Award.

Finally, the championship is awarded.

Beckham and Cantona actually appeared in the team of award presenters. It turned out that they were also presenters of awards.

"Cantona, Beckham,"

“There couldn’t be a more perfect way to award this award.”

"One day Dong will also appear as a guest and maybe he will also present awards to Manchester United players."

"Another great year."

Mbappe walked first, followed by Dong Fangzhuo.

Beckham and Cantona hugged every Manchester United player who passed by and put championship medals on their heads. When they met Dong Fangzhuo, several of them even chatted for a while.

In the end, Dong Fangzhuo won the World Club Championship trophy as captain!

"Champion, Manchester United!"

"Manchester United! Champions!"

Dong Fangzhuo kissed the trophy gently and then handed it to his teammates. The others were obviously more excited than Dong Fangzhuo. Since he won less championships, he would naturally be more excited.

Dong Fangzhuo has already narrated the BBC interview on the court.

"Dong, how many championships is this for you?"

"I don't remember..." Dong Fangzhuo thought for a while, but still didn't answer. He didn't have a hobby of counting champions.

"But it should be quite a lot."

"You won the Club World Cup Ballon d'Or this time. Do you think you have hope of winning the FIFA Ballon d'Or at the beginning of the year?"

"I haven't thought about this problem. The competition this year is very fierce. I think Messi is more likely."

"Would you be disappointed if you didn't get it?"

"No, I no longer need trophies to prove myself."

"What else do you wish for in the future?"

"Lead Manchester United to continue to win the championship and lead the Chinese team to play well in the 2018 World Cup."

At the end of another year, Dong Fangzhuo is a little tired again, year after year...

…

Although Dong Fangzhuo doesn't care, the media is building momentum for Dong Fangzhuo to win the Golden Globe Award. The European media is divided into three factions.

Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Dong Fangzhuo are like this every year. It is the three of them who compete, and the others are studying with the prince. Do you want to take away the Golden Globe Award from them? It's nothing more than a fool's dream.

There is no one in England. The Manchester Evening News and the Daily Mail firmly support Dong Fangzhuo, but their influence is not enough. They are not even qualified for selection. Speaking without qualifications is useless.

The most influential media in Europe is more convincing...

Italy also supports Dong Fangzhuo. "Gazzetta dello Sport" said: The golden ball should belong to Dong Fangzhuo of China. Although he played less than half of the games, he won the championship in all the games he participated in. If Messi wants to win the Ballon d'Or with a Copa America championship, it would be too fake. Doesn't the Chinese president not have an Asian Cup championship?

Spain's "Marca" also believes that Dong Fangzhuo should win the award - you can't not award the award to him just because he has won it many times, because he is always the best player.

"Marca" did not consider Ronaldo. After all, Ronaldo has no championship. Although his personal data is the best, he has too few team honors.

"World Sports News" supports Messi, which is normal. After all, Messi once belonged to Barcelona and does not support who Messi supports. If Neymar is qualified, they will also support Neymar.

However, France's "L'Equipe" believes that it is time for a new player to appear in the Golden Globe Award. What if Mbappe wins the Golden Globe Award? Is that a new beginning in the football world?

Mbappe?

"L'Equipe" really dares to think that they are still the organizers, but unfortunately their influence has declined, because FIFA also has the rights.

Of course, "L'Equipe" was just joking, but they looked to the future-in the next five years, Mbappe may be able to win his first Ballon d'Or.

Football has a heritage and a future, and Mbappe is the most promising one in the future...

Looking at the world, at the age of teenagers, Mbappe, Martial, and Rashford are the future, but these people are all at Manchester United...
