Chapter 19 How Lucky Are You

"Bi, bi, bi, bi."

"Bi, bi, bi, bi."

At four in the morning in Manchester, the sky is still dark and boundless.

Dong Fangzhuo's bedside alarm clock rang.

Reaching out to press the alarm, the whole person turned over and got up.

It was already a little cold in Manchester in September, but he ran around his small football field wearing only big underpants.

The football field is not a regular stadium, but a futsal field.

Since moving here, he's been running 50 laps every morning, followed by a variety of strength and technique workouts.

After breakfast at 7:30, he rushed to the Carrington Base.

Every day's itinerary is full.

The Carrington base is a little quiet these days. The players who play in Manchester United's first team are all selected for the national team, even for the reserve team, most of them are.

Unless you did not report to the national team due to injury.

Recently, Manchester United's first team has a lot of injuries. Giggs, Rooney, and Forlan all failed to report to the national team due to injuries.

But when Dong Fangzhuo first arrived at the training ground, he received a message.

The club's Uruguayan striker Forlan actually moved away?

The serious injury for half a season made everyone almost forget the existence of Fran, and Dong Fangzhuo also almost forgot about him.

Unexpectedly, he moved to Villarreal.

He walked so quietly.

Dong Fangzhuo gasped. If Fran recovers from injury and does not transfer away, then he will have another competitor.

But Fran's life at Manchester United is really bad!

During the two and a half years of playing for Manchester United, Diego Forlan scored 17 goals in 95 appearances for Manchester United. Compared with the data of striker Ruud van Nistelrooy who scored 150 goals in 210 appearances, it is a world of difference.

It's no wonder Ferguson didn't sell him off.

However, Dong Fangzhuo remembered that Fran showed off his power after he went to Villarreal. It was this year that he won the European Golden Boot Award! Like Henry, scored 36 goals.

If he continues to stay at Manchester United, will he also act so vigorously?

Thinking of this, Dong Fangzhuo felt that he was really lucky to lose such a terrifying competitor.

Of course, in fact, he is still not qualified to compare with Fran, so why talk about competitors?

After jogging for ten laps on the training ground, he came to the gym.

But saw the newly joined Rooney!

wipe!

When did this guy become so hardworking?

It's not the same as I remember.

During the holidays, shouldn't he be sleeping late, going to nightclubs, and looking for prostitutes?

Why did you come to the training ground?

If he works so hard, then he will have it in the future!

The hardworking Rooney may not even be able to handle Ronaldo.

My dear, something feels wrong, the world has changed...

At this time, Rooney's body is well developed, his head is not bald, his face is immature, and he has acne. When he smiles, he looks like a baby face, which can even be described as 'cute'.

Of course, only above his neck.

Below the neck, that is a strong man.

His strong body makes Rooney look like a boxer.

His own hobby is boxing, and he really practiced it before.

Dong Fangzhuo recognized Rooney, but Rooney didn't recognize him.

The meeting between the two was nothing more than a duel in the league once, and the other time was when he came to visit the team on the training ground.

That's all.

So it is not surprising that I have no impression of Dong Fangzhuo.

But this does not affect two people exercising in a gym.

soon,

Rooney's cell phone rang.

Rooney answered the phone without hesitation.

"I'm at the training ground. I'm afraid of being discovered. You wait for me at the hotel, and I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Rooney stepped off the instrument.

Then he glanced at Dong Fangzhuo meaningfully.

"Hey, are you the staff here?"

"..." Dong Fangzhuo rolled his eyes inwardly.

Well, consider me as a staff member. It seems that Rooney does not regard him as a competitor or striker partner at all.

If there is, it is impossible not to recognize oneself.

I was thinking too much.

Dong Fangzhuo simply nodded.

"If someone calls me at the gym, you just say I'm training outside."

"All right……"

Then Rooney of Martha left.

"Hehe, my nature hasn't changed."

Call me a liar.

Dong Fangzhuo smiled. Hearing Rooney's tone of voice, he probably wanted to have an affair at a hotel. He was worried that Colin would call the gym for rounds, so he told himself to lie.

The purpose of coming to the gym is just to deceive others, to be precise, just to find an excuse to distract his childhood sweetheart girlfriend Colin.

Colin later married him and became his wife.

I didn't expect that Rooney started to engage in women outside since he was a teenager, which can also explain why Rooney went to female ticket girls when he was a teenager. This is his nature...

It is not surprising that Rooney like this is not as tall as Ronaldo in the back.

But,

Isn't he even worse?

Isn't it less selfish and remind him more in the future?

Dong Fangzhuo shook his head, feeling that he was thinking too much.

Even if it is a reminder, it is not now, at least you have to become an important member of the team, and you can only say these things after you can become friends with Rooney.

Now, Rooney's laziness is his own opportunity.

sometimes,

He has to be selfish.

Later, Dong Fangzhuo did not receive a call from Colin. Instead, he watched the Chinese team VS Malaysia World Cup qualifiers in the gym.

They actually beat Malaysia 1-0 at home.

Almost, the Chinese team did not win.

Ali Han did not show him in the world preliminaries.

Maybe because Malaysia is too weak,

Maybe because Dong Fangzhuo's performance wasn't enough.

Anyway,

He did not enter the national team.

Two days later, all Manchester United players who reported to the national team returned to the club, and the injured team increased again. The midfielder Kleberson, who represented the Brazilian national team, was injured, and even the main striker Van Nistelrooy was representing the Dutch team. Injured while playing.

"You are so lucky!"

"Why?"

"Roud van Nistelrooy is injured, isn't it good enough?" Ronaldo muttered in a low voice, "Saha is unreliable, Smith plays left back, Fran is gone, Solskjaer can't play the main force, Rooney's injury is not good enough. Not yet, you might start, and even if you don’t start, you’ll have a chance in the second half.”

"this……"

Ronaldo's calculations are quite detailed, and it is indeed the case.

But I can't say that I am lucky. If good luck is based on the premise that teammates are injured, then what is the use of such good luck?

I still like the strong Manchester United!

After all, if Manchester United falls behind in the league, everyone will not be able to achieve good results at the end of the season.

but,

Away to Bolton, Ferguson did include him in the big list of the game.

But still not the main force...
