Chapter 113 Role Models and Benchmarks

"Manchester United beat Southampton 5:0 and continued to bite Chelsea and Arsenal in the standings." The Times reported the results of the game as soon as possible after the game and analyzed, "Ferguson abandoned Fanny and received an effect. The trident performed very well in the frontcourt. Rooney and China Dong scored twice respectively, and Ronaldo scored one goal and assisted twice."

"The excellent performance of the three people can temporarily forget Fanny, Sachah and Smith, who seem to represent the future of Manchester United. The only flaw is that the opponent is deputy squad leader Southampton. If he can perform at such a high level in the away game against Fenerbahce next Thursday, it means that this offensive combination is trustworthy. Otherwise, Ferguson would still invite Fanny, the big Buddha."

Although the Times gave them a very high evaluation, it also analyzed very objective facts. Playing as the last team like Southampton does not truly reflect Manchester United's true strength. It is trustworthy only if you can continue to fight tough battles in the Champions League.

However, the Times seemed to have forgotten that the lineup that was stronger than this had just reversed its arch-rival Arsenal in the League Cup. Isn't this enough to show the ability of this combination?

Compared with the Times' objective, the Manchester Evening News' report is a bit pessimistic - "In any case, it is wrong to throw Van Nicht into the cold palace before the Christmas schedule comes. A top veteran who has experienced thousands of battles is never more trustworthy than a young man who has no experience in major competitions. You must know that Manchester United cannot tolerate a single point. No matter how they jump around, they are only third in the league. Even the Champions League has not yet ensured the first place in the group! Isn't the failure of last season enough to learn from a lesson?"

"There is a lack of stable scoring methods, and the use of overly stubborn people..."

No matter how the English media reported it, the Chinese media are cheering Dong Fangzhuo.

Sports Weekly published an article on the front page headline - "Why did he succeed at Manchester United?"

"The reason why Dong Fangzhuo, who started out as a wealthy family, was able to gain a foothold in Manchester United is not just because of his talent and ability, there are more players with talent and ability than him, but because he has put in more effort than ordinary people. After reading his training schedule, you will understand why he can now appear in Manchester United's starting lineup."

Then, the article lists Dong Fangzhuo's daily training plan.

“6:00 AM After getting up, do yoga for 3 minutes. Sometimes when you wake up in the morning, you feel stiff. Yoga helps relax your muscles.

...

7:30 PM On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, you will conduct indoor personal technical training, practice basic movements such as bicycle riding, oxtail tails, etc., and on Tuesday and Thursday, you will conduct free fighting, Sanda, table tennis and other training (except for competition days).

9:00 PM to sleep.”

The above training plan was formulated by Dong Fangzhuo when he was playing in Antwerp, Belgium. He has been training according to this plan. Later, after returning to Manchester United and becoming friends with Ronaldo, he added very important training content. In order to improve his agility and reaction ability, he tried dangerous training such as Sanda and fighting.

Dong Fangzhuo is definitely better than before. He used to have good physical fitness. Now that he has added various high-intensity training, his physical fitness has actually risen to a higher level, especially his agility and reaction speed have been significantly improved.

Of course, this is just a physical improvement, and it is not enough to make him an excellent player.

This article written by Qu Youyuan himself was also analyzed from another perspective.

"In my impression, Dong Fangzhuo is a domineering player on the court and a very quiet child off the court. But both have one thing in common, that is, he is thinking. On the court, he is always playing with his brain, so we often see him scoring goals. His goals are not gorgeous, but they are all full of wisdom. He skillfully gets rid of it, and his elegant running position seems to never stop. He can always seize opportunities that are not opportunities, and when he shoots, he is so calm and calm."

"In fact, he was even more surprised by me off the court. I remember that on the third day after the national team reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup, I met Dong Fangzhuo on the plane. He talked to me for more than ten hours of Chinese football. His chat content impressed me very deeply. He said that he hopes that more and more players like him in China will appear in Europe to play football, and can train hard with him and strive for the dream of football."

"Some people say that Dong Fangzhuo has a good fate and starts as a wealthy family, so he is now in a glorious place. But when we envy him, have we asked ourselves how much he has paid? Did he train hard every day like him? If you do it, I don't think you will say that, and one day you will also stand at the height of Dong Fangzhuo..."

The article was published on the front page of the Sports Weekly published on Monday, and was reprinted on Sohu and Sina, which were the most trafficked at the time.

Most fans have seen this article.

Then, everyone had a brand new and deeper understanding of Dong Fangzhuo. For a time, Dong Fangzhuo was discussed in various famous forums.

"If the report of the Sports Weekly is true, then Xiao Dong is definitely awe-inspiring. He is the absolute benchmark for Chinese football."

"I thought that after Dong Fangzhuo became famous, he knew to drive a sports car with Ronaldo to pick up girls every day. It turned out that he trained so hard every day!"

"Indeed, Xiao Dong's efforts are too terrible. If every player in China can achieve such self-discipline and hard work, then he will not be far from success. There is no shortage of good football seedlings in the country, but the growth environment is indeed worrying. Not only the growth environment, it is also important whether players can be strict with themselves. For example, Zhou Haibin and Zhao Xuri who were summoned to the national team in the Asian Cup this year, Chen Tao who was summoned to the end of the year, etc., do they have such hard work as Dong Fangzhuo? And those players who are still unknown but have amazing talents. Will they be touched after seeing this report?"

Qu Youyuan personally sent a newspaper for that day to Dong Fangzhuo. He thought this would be a very meaningful day. Dong Fangzhuo set a good example in front of all Chinese players.

In the future, no matter which player wants to become famous or overseas, Dong Fangzhuo will be the benchmark. Those players who complain about the world and complain about their lack of talent should ask themselves, have they worked as hard as Dong Fangzhuo?
