Chapter 283 Beautiful Boos

The last thing Rooney wants to face is to return to Goodison Park. When he went back last season, he suffered countless abuses from Everton fans, and he was sent off for violating a former teammate during the game. He will certainly not do it this time. If you eat the good fruit, you will definitely be booed.

Everton can be said to be his natal family. When he first debuted, he said how much he loved Everton. Then he lied too much and said that he would never leave Everton in this life. In the end, he turned around and left. No wonder Everton Dayton fans hate him.

However, it is impossible for Xiaopang to stay at Everton for the rest of his life. As England's most promising star, he will definitely be in a wealthy club.

So, don’t easily make promises that you can’t keep...

"As long as you score a goal, they will shut up." Dong Fangzhuo smiled. The best way to go home is to score a goal in front of his parents' fans and then stop. Unfortunately, Rooney didn't do it last season. The worst possible outcome.

"Oh, if I score, I don't know if I'll be able to walk out of Goodison..."

"A player who cannot score in the old home goal is not a good player. We will feed you the ball then."

"I hope so……"

※※※※

Before the game, Rooney was booed again at Goodison Park. Contrary to this scene, every Manchester United starting player hugged Philip Neville, who had just moved to Everton.

Seeing this scene, Lineker was inspired.

"Manchester United has not changed much overall this season, but they have made a real deal. Carroll and Ricardo are gone, Edwin van der Sar is here, and the Red Devils have at least gained a trustworthy goalkeeper. Another The new signing, Korean Park Ji-sung, will arouse enough curiosity. What can he bring to the Red Devils? Is it an improvement in strength or just a breakthrough in East Asian jersey sales? This is worth paying attention to. Of course, the best is Vidic With his arrival, he has taken Manchester United's defense to a higher level."

"In the midfield and backfield, Kleberson's departure is not important. The Brazilian was originally a marginal figure, but Philip Neville is gone. Its significance is not only that there is one less versatile player. Since Beckham left in 2003, , the "92 Generation" that represented the spirit of the Red Devils was gradually dismantled. While the Neville brothers were parting from each other, they must also have experienced the loss of something deeper."

"And today, we all meet again."

In the first league match against Everton, Manchester United's requirement is simple, that is to win.

Whatever turmoil Glazer brought,

No matter how the team performs in the transfer market, Manchester United's goal can only be to win the championship, because this is the positioning given to the Red Devils by the fans.

Like Arsenal, Manchester United are at a disadvantage when facing the powerful Chelsea. It will not be easy for them to achieve this goal.

For the Red Devils, the start of the new season is crucial. Ferguson said that they lost last season due to a bad start. If they want to still retain the hope of winning the championship in March and April, they cannot be abandoned at the beginning of the season. too far.

"In a sense, Ferguson is by no means a stubborn old man, and the change from the 442 to the 433 formation reflects this. The Red Devils' defense conceded 26 goals last season, only more than Chelsea. Now the arrival of Van der Sar and Leo's contract extension and Vidic's arrival will help increase stability, and the backcourt should be reassuring."

"The problem is in the midfield and frontcourt. Manchester United no longer has the midfield control they had during the Triple Crown. Keane, Giggs, Scholes and others are one year older, and it is difficult for newcomers such as Fletcher to take the lead; although the striker We have a well-known trident combination, but last season’s scoring efficiency and ability to seize opportunities were not satisfactory, and they need to be improved this year.”

"Overall, the hidden danger of Manchester United's lineup is the aging of key players, and the stability of young people such as Rooney and Ronaldo is perhaps the most fatal. But they are the hope of Manchester United. When the 1992 generation gets older, young people Whether they can step up in time will determine the survival of Manchester United. In the pre-season warm-up and the Community Shield Cup, Chinese Dong, Rooney and Ronaldo performed eye-catchingly. If they can perform at this level stably, Manchester United's revival can be expected."

In this game, Ferguson continued to use the 433 lineup.

Edwin van der Sar; Gary Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, Heinze; Fletcher, Scholes, Giggs; Ronaldo, Dong Fangzhuo, Rooney.

On the bench, sat Howard, Park Ji-sung, Sylvester, Brown, Saha, Rossi, and O'Shea. Rossi was able to appear in this game because Smith went on vacation and came back late.

Everton's score is 451.

But Dong Fangzhuo failed to meet Li Tie on the court. Since Li Tie returned from fracture, it has been difficult to play as Everton's main force. This season, Li Tie simply did not even enter the game's squad.

It seems that Li Tie will gradually fade out of the sight of Chinese fans from this time on, even if he will transfer to Sheffield United at the end of the season...

Manchester United took control of the game after the opening, but Everton calmly shrank its defense and was not weak in momentum.

In the 2nd minute, Scholes passed through the middle, and Philip Neville tackled Dong Fangzhuo in front of the penalty area.

Phew, this guy is ruthless. Dong Fangzhuo lay on the turf and looked up at Gary Neville's younger brother.

Perhaps it was his first time playing for his new club, and Philip Neville was eager to express himself.

"Philip's role has changed a lot. Looking at his tackle, Dong is like his enemy! Ha, he fully demonstrated his professionalism."

Philip Neville reached out to Dong Fangzhuo, pulled him up personally and apologized. Dong Fangzhuo stood up and touched his head, but he was not angry.

Rooney stood in front of the ball and boos immediately erupted from the stands.

I don’t know if he was dazzled by the boos, but Rooney took a free kick from 26 yards. The ball went around the wall and slightly passed the crossbar. In fact, Rooney was booed by the home fans at Goodison Park every time he took the ball.

In the 11th minute, Fletcher made a beautiful diagonal pass from midfield. Gary Neville made a pass from the right. Dong Fangzhuo resisted Everton defender Yabo and forced a shot from 25 yards on the right, but the ball missed the far corner.

"Ha, I thought Dong Guo fell to the ground, but he didn't this time. It seems that he wants to prove himself that he is not a player who only falls." Lineker laughed.

In the 15th minute, Giggs passed a cross from the left and Scholes passed to the center. Dong Fangzhuo's shot from 22 yards missed the post again.

"Dong is in good condition, all he needs is a goal!"

"Where is Rooney? He disappeared again? These attacks have nothing to do with him."

In the 18th minute, Everton suffered a tragedy. Beatty went off injured and Bent came on as a substitute.

Everton's first real chance came in the 21st minute. Simon Davis made a pass from the right. Cahill's header from 6 yards in front of the left side of the penalty area was blocked by Edwin van der Sar and went over the crossbar. .

However, Everton's idea of ​​threatening Manchester United's goal with long passes failed to succeed. Manchester United still firmly controlled the rhythm of the game.

In the 28th minute, Rooney finally took the lead. Cahill committed a handball foul when blocking Rooney's pass in front of the penalty area. Rooney's free kick from 28 yards in the middle hit the wall directly. There were boos in the stands again.

2 minutes later, Philip Neville fouled Rooney. This time Rooney did not take the set kick. Scholes' 30-yard free kick from the left was also calmly confiscated by Martin at the near corner.

Everton almost scored in the 34th minute. Bent's shot was blocked by Fletcher, and then a corner kick was taken. Yabo Yuan made a header and Bent's volley from 16 yards in the middle was saved by Edwin van der Sar. After blocking, he hit the crossbar and popped out.

"It was so dangerous! Everton almost scored, but Manchester United counterattacked. The ball fell at the feet of Scholes. He kicked it to Ronaldo, who rushed to Everton's goal. In front of the penalty area, Dong attracted the defense of two central defenders and passed the ball!"

Dong Fangzhuo also watched helplessly as Ronaldo failed to pass the ball to Rooney.

"Hey, Rooney's side is empty!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo hit the door!"

"goal!"

"goooooooal!"

Lineker didn't bother to worry about Ronaldo not passing the ball and immediately cheered. Off the field, Ferguson was originally very anxious when Ronaldo burst into the Everton penalty area. It was clear that Ronaldo could pass the ball to the unguarded Rooney, but he chose to shoot instead.

Very alone!

Rooney stood on the other side, feeling lonely for a moment, his hands raised to express his dissatisfaction.

You promised to pass the ball to me, where is it?

With such a good opportunity just now, Ronaldo didn't even pass the ball, but chose to shoot it himself!

Call——

There was another boo in the stands, not sure whether it was for Rooney or Ronaldo.

Everton had to accept being one goal behind at home. After the restart, they accelerated the pace of their attack, but they still made long passes.

And in the 42nd minute, Scholes was booked for a foul on Phil Neville. However, after Everton sent the ball, it was tackled by the brave Vidic. After Vidic got up, he moved the ball to Rooney on the left with his big feet.

Rooney seemed to have no confidence in breaking through the defense of his former teammates, but directly handed the ball to Dong Fangzhuo in front.

Facing Yabo, Dong Fangzhuo led the ball into the penalty area with his left foot and quickly dunked with his right foot. Yabo stretched out his foot and tripped him!

"Oh, a penalty?"

"Penalty kick! The referee gave a penalty kick!"

"Hey, Dong gave the ball to Rooney! Did he do that on purpose?"

"Go ahead and put the ball in the net!"

Call——

Goodison Park erupted into wild boos.

"Ah, this guy really wants to take this penalty kick!"

"You traitor!"

"How dare you take this penalty kick!"

Loud boos were mixed with abuse.

Rooney held the ball and stood quietly on the court for several seconds, and finally took steps towards the penalty spot.

Since taking the penalty kick or not will result in boos, do we still need to choose?

Rooney finally put the ball on the penalty spot.

beep--

Rooney took a run-up and pushed firmly into the lower right corner of the goal with his right foot.

Then he rushed under the Goodison stand, his hands to his ears.

listen--

There has never been such a wonderful boo...
