Chapter 330: The Crisis Approaches

Manchester, Beijing time.

"Because Rooney's suspension was reduced to one game, Rooney won the start."

“Ronaldo,”

"Ronaldo broke through on the right, he passed Charmo, and Rooney went to the top..."

"Ronaldo's long shot missed."

"Rooney, I didn't catch the ball."

"Rooney, I didn't touch the ball."

"Scholes,"

"Paul Scholes received the second yellow card. In the 63rd minute, Scholes fouled a tackle against Macon. Italian referee Farina, who enforced the 6th Champions League event, took out the second yellow card and sent off Manchester United's midfield red card."

"Ronaldo's breakthrough..."

"The ball missed..."

"Oh, damn, the draw, neither side scored a goal, Manchester United could not knock Lille's goal at home, draw 0:0. In the third round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester United still could not win. They achieved one win and two draws in the first three rounds. After missing China Dong, the team continued to be sluggish, lost the league and tied the Champions League."

"What's wrong with this Manchester United team? The original attack power is still so strong, but he has achieved such a bad result in the last two games. He has already scored 5 points in the league. Although the Champions League is unbeaten, the points are not widened with the other three teams. Both fronts are quite bad."

"Manchester United continues to sink in Old Trafford, and they are mediocre throughout the game. Giggs, who appeared in the 100th European game, watched his old teammate Scholes be sent off..."

"Without Chinese Dong, Ronaldo alone, it is difficult for him to lead Manchester United to continue to win, while Rooney continues to be invisible, Manchester United needs Chinese Dong!"

"Manchester United is missing Chinese Dong!"

After the game, the media was calling on Dong Fangzhuo...

It seems that everyone recognizes the importance of Dong Fangzhuo in Manchester United.

One loss and one draw, Manchester United ushered in a trough after winning streak at the beginning of the game. First, they lost to Sunderland 1:3, and then tied Lille 0:0.

In the most critical stage of the season, Manchester United lost two games, and the points in the league were already widened by Chelsea to 5 points, which is a relatively big gap. In these two games, Manchester United basically did not create any shots, and the striker's ability to grasp the game is very average, which is in sharp contrast to Dong Fangzhuo when he was there.

During the Champions League and Lille matches, fans kept shouting Dong Fangzhuo's name on the scene, especially when Rooney left the court, his voice louder.

However, Dong Fangzhuo is now preparing for the life-and-death battle between the national team and the South Korean team, and he has no chance to come back to save Manchester United.

Then, the weekend soon came, with Manchester United facing strong rival Tottenham Hotspur at home.

Ferguson heard a harsh boo at the scene, which was actually given to Ferguson.

For the first time in 15 years, Old Trafford greeted Ferguson with booing. According to convention, fans' turnaround is often a bad omen of the coach's dismissal, indicating that the break between fans and Ferguson may only be a matter of time.

Manchester United fans have been loyal to Ferguson for many years. Whether it is his personal grudge with Beckham, or his lawsuit with the Irish Racecourse tycoon, until the recent acquisition of Glazer, they have supported Ferguson unconditionally and regarded him as Manchester United's Messiah, but the previous two games undoubtedly disappointed them. Ferguson also admitted when facing the camera of Sky TV: "Losing is a heavy blow, and we have been doing great for so many years. I am very worried about the gap between us and Chelsea, but the most important thing is to return to the winning track immediately."

The pre-match radio announced that there was no Rooney in the starter! More than 60,000 home team fans could not believe their ears, and Ferguson was once again crazyly despised by fans.

Rooney didn't give it to him, Ferguson left the opportunity to Saha, hoping that Saha could turn the tide.

but,

Manchester United shot 27 times in the game, with only 8 shots on the target, but those who missed the target seemed to have a greater chance. Scholes shot in front of the goal, Smith shot heavily outside the penalty area, Ronaldo took the corner kick header, and Saha pushed up with a kick in the front of the 6-yard area... Saha missed at least 4 great opportunities.

On the contrary, Tottenham hit the target with 10 shots, which was something the team visited in the past three years had never done before. With Van der Sar's courage, Manchester United lasted until the 33rd minute before losing. During this period, Bellamy, Bentley, Dikov and Gray almost succeeded.

The home team fans were fed up with the stiff tactics and half-dead scenes, and could not suppress their dissatisfaction after being depressed for a long time. In the second half, the audience started to scream in the stands: "442! Rooney!"

Ferguson replaced Rooney under pressure. After 10 minutes, Saha equalized the score, and the opportunity came from Rooney's long shot. Rooney finally played a little role, but that's all.

In the end, Manchester United was tied 1:1 by Tottenham Hotspur at home.

Leinkell predicts: "If you can't win the next two games, there is no hope for Manchester United to win the championship."

"Manchester United started the season well, but now they are behind, so they shouldn't always think about how Chelsea is, and they can't expect Chelsea to lose points to win the championship."

"Away match against Middlesbrough is another test, and they will face Chelsea directly! Chelsea has won consecutive victories so far! No team can organize them, if Manchester United fails, then I really can't see any hope for Manchester United..."

Yes, I can't beat Tottenham Hotspur at home. Can Middlesbrough, who played McLaren away, win? Then, when I went back to the home court to face Chelsea, Manchester United's most critical games are coming, and I will also play in the League Cup and away Champions League...

"Dong Fangzhuo, do you think Manchester United needs you very much now?" Domestic media asked Dong Fangzhuo when interviewing Dong Fangzhuo.

"I don't know, Manchester United has been in a bad situation recently. It's not a problem with one person, but a problem with the whole team. I really want to help the team, but I have to go back after playing this game between South Korea."

"There are many English media that have always said that your role in Manchester United is not outstanding. Do you think that Manchester United lacks you is the reason for the poor performance?"

"Haha, I'm not the head coach and don't know much about these, but I think it's definitely a little different to lack me."

"It's like the national team?"

"This... the national team is different. In the national team, teammates do not cooperate well enough, so they definitely do not play well in the club." Speaking of the national team, Dong Fangzhuo became even more tactful. He could not offend people for no reason.

Will you be confident of winning the game tomorrow if you play South Korea?

"This is our home court! Do you think we can't win?"

"You know, their home court is not very good."
