Chapter 286 I Smell a Goal

"I can smell the goal coming..." Ferguson continued to cheer Dong Fangzhuo before the game.

"The media will talk nonsense and try to create invisible psychological pressure on Dong. He is the top scorer in the World Youth Championship!"

This is Manchester United's first home game this season. In fact, it is not as optimistic as Ferguson imagined, especially if they fail to win the game, the result of the duel between Chelsea and Arsenal will be wasted, although I don't know what the result of their duel will be. , but Manchester United is best only if they win.

However, the last time Villa won at Old Trafford was back in 1983, when they won 2:1. The most recent victory was in the 1999 League Cup. Manchester United has won 14 times in 16 meetings in the past 22 years, which can be said to be overwhelming.

Although Villa is difficult to chew, it does not mean that Manchester United cannot win the game.

In addition, Villa's midfielder Solano expressed his interest in switching to Liverpool before the game, which caused the Peruvian to be placed out of the starting lineup tonight by Villa coach O'Reilly, and his position was replaced by Whittingham. Substitutions, Ridgewell and Dela Cruz replaced Laurson and Kevin Phillips in the starting lineup respectively.

In order to prevent the midfielder from being at a disadvantage, O'Reilly formed a 451 formation to face Manchester United. In fact, this is the same as last season, this is their most common style of play.

Manchester United almost fielded the same starting lineup as they defeated Everton in the last round, except that Giggs was replaced by Park Ji-sung.

Brothers Joel and Brian Glazer appeared at Old Trafford to watch the game. Manchester United's new owner appeared at Old Trafford, which caused bursts of boos from Manchester United fans. Even though the acquisition has been finalized for more than half a year, Manchester United fans are still very resistant to the Glazer family.

Villa's 5-man midfielder tried to use its numerical advantage to block Manchester United's attack. Dong Fangzhuo was actually alone in front.

In the 4th minute of the game, Gary Neville made a long pass, and Park Ji-sung broke through from the left and won a free kick.

"Park's movements are really useful. After unloading the ball, there are no fake moves. Just one tap and the free kick is in hand. Among Asians, I think only Japanese players have more delicate foot skills. Park and Dong's feet are quite simple. , not playing imaginary at all.”

By accident, Lineker killed two boatloads of people with one stroke, killing both Chinese and Korean players.

However, he quickly added: "But I saw that in this year's World Youth Championship, there were many young Chinese players with very good skills at the feet. I always feel that Dong's skills are very different from his teammates in the National Youth Team. the difference……"

Ronaldo stood in front of the ball and took the set kick.

But his powerful shot was blocked by De La Cruz.

Then the two sides were in a stalemate for several minutes without getting any good opportunities. Villa's midfield interception was quite good, and Ronaldo and Rooney were not taken off on the wing. Fletcher and Park Ji-sung on the field were not able to provide more support.

"It looks like Dong is going to have a bad day again... He is surrounded tightly and has no chance at all."

"He hasn't touched the ball even once."

"The more you are afraid of something, the more it will come..."

In the 11th minute, McCann fouled Rooney in front of the penalty area. Manchester United got another chance to set the ball. Ronaldo stood in front of the ball again. Ronaldo has now begun to take care of Manchester United's frontcourt set kicks. Rooney can occasionally take it. Get a chance or two.

call--

Cristiano Ronaldo shot a free kick from 25 yards in the middle. The ball curved around the wall and missed. Just a little bit, Ronaldo scored.

"Cristiano's desire to shoot today is still very strong. It seems that he wants to increase his number of league goals to three."

One minute later, Villa captain Melberg fouled Rooney in the backcourt and received a yellow card.

"The first fifteen minutes were almost all performances by Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney. Where is Dong? Where is Dong? He was so silent that I almost forgot about his existence. This is not like his style."

Manchester United had the advantage on the field, and Villa coach O'Reilly was gesticulating anxiously on the sidelines. It seemed that this move was very effective. Finally, in the 17th minute, De La Cruz got a chance to shoot, but he fired an anti-aircraft gun.

Manchester United almost took the lead in the 28th minute. Scholes passed the ball to the left. Park Ji-sung shot with his right foot from the left side of the penalty area from 17 yards. Sorensen blocked the ball and hit the crossbar. Dong Fangzhuo stepped in quickly, but was a step too late and missed the goal!

Scholes then took a corner kick from the right and was hit by Sorensen. Park Ji-sung's shot from the edge of the penalty area was blocked by Melberg.

Park Ji-sung is stealing the show!

On the other hand, Dong Fangzhuo still seemed like a passerby.

"Oh no, if you keep kicking like this, Park Ji-sung will pin Dong Fangzhuo..."

"Park Ji-sung seems to be able to run better than Dong Fangzhuo. He can just run out and create opportunities. This situation is actually easy to analyze. Dong Fangzhuo, Ronaldo and Rooney are all surrounded in the front. After Park Ji-sung intervenes, there will naturally be more opportunities. "

"here we go again!"

Before he finished speaking, Park Ji-sung rushed forward again. This time, the guy was even more playful. Scholes gave him the ball, and he shot straight from 30 yards in the middle! It seems that he is not Park Ji-sung now, but captain Keane...

"Damn it, it's not over! Park Ji-sung has gone too far!"

"I really think I'm a star!"

"I can't stand it anymore!"

"Just keep on having fun!"

Many Chinese fans can no longer stand Park Ji-sung. They sit in front of the TV not to watch the Koreans perform, but to watch Dong Fangzhuo score. But now it is Park Ji-sung who is performing, and Dong Fangzhuo does not have a chance.

Then it was Rooney's turn to perform...

In the 32nd minute, Scholes took a corner kick from the left to the penalty area. Rooney's volley from the outside of his foot was blocked by Whittingham in front of the goal line in the far corner.

In the 35th minute, Rooney's 25-yard shot from the center was blocked again by Aaron Hughes. Fletcher then uploaded the ball, and Sorenson made a clearance after blocking the ball with Park Ji-sung's chest.

"Rooney, you are wrong. Can't you see Dong Fangzhuo? Why don't you pass the ball to him?"

"You forgot so quickly that the penalty kick was given to you in the last game?"

On several occasions, Rooney could choose to pass the ball to Dong Fangzhuo, but Rooney chose to shoot, which made the fans very dissatisfied.

Rooney is selfish!

Before he finished speaking, Ronaldo also kicked the ball from the right, but unfortunately the ball was saved from the bottom line.

Manchester United's possession time also reached an astonishing 79%, and the game quickly entered stoppage time.

Dong Fangzhuo also felt that he was the soy sauce at halftime...

There is no way. Villa controlled the penalty area too tightly today. Almost no ball came in. All Manchester United's shots were long shots from outside the penalty area.

This corner kick may be the only chance.

Dong Fangzhuo was not upset. Every time Manchester United attacked, he tried to play his role well, and the same was true for this corner kick.

In the last game against Everton, both sides played very open, so he got more opportunities. In this game, Villa was not open, so he got fewer opportunities. Furthermore, although the media has exaggerated his uselessness, the coach of each team cannot really turn a blind eye to him. On the contrary, he is heavily defended.

In all the previous set kicks in the frontcourt, either Rooney or Ronaldo went directly to the goal, and did not pass into the penalty area at all, but this corner kick is different.

Dong Fangzhuo observed carefully in the penalty area and found his position.

There are too many people in the penalty area. Maybe I can’t take off and the ball will fly away...

He saw Park Ji-sung.

This guy is really hardworking, he sighed, and then slipped behind Park Ji-sung.

Near Park Ji-sung, Vidic and Ferdinand were standing there. In fact, Park Ji-sung cleared the way for Vidic and Ferdinand. Park Ji-sung continued to disturb Villa's defense in the penalty area, allowing Vidic and Ferdinand to better compete for headers.

As long as Vidic and Ferdinand are in the opponent's penalty area at the same time, they are the most attractive points of firepower, which in turn allows Dong Fangzhuo to escape from the opponent's defense.

Scholes took a corner kick and there was chaos in the penalty area. Sure enough, Scholes' corner kick went towards the heads of Vidic and Ferdinand.

However, the opponent had a large number of people, and Vidic and Ferdinand were squeezed tightly into a small space, unable to take off at all!

call!

Like a battle ax suddenly appearing in the sky.

Dong Fangzhuo's head suddenly appeared above Vidic and Ferdinand!

Duang!

"ah!"

At that moment, everyone was completely shocked when they saw Dong Fangzhuo's header...

"goal!"

"goooooal!"

"goooooooooooal!"

"Dong!"

"Dong scored a goal!"

"Oh my God, when did he come on????"
