Chapter 14: Forcibly feeding bread
At St Mary's Stadium, Wayne Rooney stood in the tunnel with the captain's armband in his eyes, his eyes falling on his former Manchester United team-mate, with mixed feelings.
No matter how you look at it, you feel that the jersey on your body is Manchester United color, not any other color.
Manchester United's number 10 was supposed to be him, but now he is an opponent......
"Wayne,"
Dong Fangzhuo hugged him warmly.
"I'm glad you're playing well here."
He tried to dilute the atmosphere.
Then the others came together, Gerrard, Fletcher......
The camaraderie in the player tunnel is quite strong.
Then Ferguson also walked out, and hugged Rooney one by one, although there was a gap between master and apprentice, but the friendship was still very deep.
As they walked out of the tunnel, many United fans from afar chanted Rooney's name.
They haven't forgotten Rooney.
It was Southampton's home stadium, but Wayne Rooney enjoyed the cheers of the away United fans.
Rooney's heart melted in that instant.
Although he was not happy when he left, the fans did not forget him.
That's enough, I'm going to leave sooner or later anyway, it's just a matter of time.
"Wayne,"
"Wayne,"
"Wayne,"
Southampton fans are calling his name as well.
Although he had only played three rounds, Rooney had already conquered the Saints.
Now, Wayne Rooney's Southampton are two points ahead of Manchester United, which is even more impressive. If United can't win away from home today, it means Southampton will continue to weigh on Manchester United's head......
Even Lineker at the scene made a joke.
"King Dong must also be very entangled, both sides are his teams, whoever loses will feel a little uncomfortable."
However, Lineker was wrong, and after the opening, Manchester United suppressed Southampton to play, and Dong Fangzhuo sat in the midfield, showing strong aggression.
In the 3rd minute, he personally tested Southampton's goalkeeper with a long-range shot, and after the goalkeeper saved the ball, he almost let the starting Rashford grab the shot, but Southampton's new central defender Van Dijk did it and cleared the ball before Rashford.
At the beginning of the season, Dong Fangzhuo also suggested that Ferguson take Van Dijk, but Ferguson did not listen to him at the time, if Van Dijk went to Manchester United, Manchester United's defense would be much more stable, and it would not be so embarrassing in the first few games of the season.
But it's too late to say anything, and now Van Dijk is Southampton's anchor......
With Dong Fangzhuo in midfield, United had a huge advantage, and although Gerrard was still in the color two minutes later, his long-range shot did not pose any threat.
In the 8th minute, Dong Fangzhuo sent a beautiful diagonal ball to Mbappe on the right side in the middle, but it was also intercepted by Van Dijk, who had a large defensive area.
Within minutes, Van Dijk was showing off several beautiful defences in front of Alex Ferguson.
Can Ferguson not see it? Of course, he remembered that Dong Fangzhuo personally recommended Van Dijk to him......
Van Dijk's stunning performance was just that, and Rooney also got the ball in front, and in the face of Smalling's defense, Rooney actually forced a turn to complete the shot, and Smalling looked like he was pumping again. Thankfully, David De Gea played bravely and lifted the ball off the line with one hand.
When the corner kick was attacked, Gerrard showed another long-range shot on the edge of the penalty area, this time the ball hit Schneiderlin's body, I don't know if Schneiderlin was nervous when he returned to his old club, he actually kicked the ball into the air, and Rooney got the ball and stabbed it directly into the near corner of the goal.
The ball went in.
“gooooooooooooooooooooal!”
“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”
"Wayne Rooney,"
"He breached the gates guarded by David De Gea."
"Haha, that's amazing. Why can such a good drama as killing the old master be staged every year? Wayne Rooney has broken down the door of Manchester United, and it is estimated that tomorrow's news will be capitalized and featured. Alex Ferguson has just coached his defenders, and now it's midfielder's turn to make a mess? Schneiderlin shouldn't have made such a mistake, right? ”
"The Saints are at home 1; 0 ahead of Manchester United. ”
"It was only 14 minutes."
"It's unbelievable, Manchester United has fallen into the quagmire again, and today's game doesn't look easy, after all, there are Rooney, Gerrard, Fletcher and other famous players, as well as a group of young and capable players."
Rooney just raised his arms in celebration, but as soon as he saw the Manchester United fans, he immediately put his hand down, and then silently walked back to the center circle arc, after all, he still loves Manchester United deeply, and he can't make Manchester United fans sad. It's sad enough to score, so don't celebrate.
'Wayne Rooney didn't celebrate, but it was a goal that put United in a difficult position.'
The Manchester United fans in the stands were silent, and they felt very uncomfortable, if Manchester United still had Wayne Rooney, maybe it was Wayne Rooney who scored the goal at Southampton......
The youngsters are still not as good as the veterans, as the so-called family has an old man, if there is a treasure, they instantly feel that Ferguson's act of selling Rooney is impulsive.
Looking at Marcus Rashford, who has just returned from the ban, they feel that compared to Rooney, it is terrible.
"When I sold Rooney at the beginning of the season, I knew there was a day, but I didn't expect it to come so soon!"
"Look at Wayne Rooney, he's already scored three goals, one goal at a time, where to find such a striker, he's only 30 years old, alas, why did the lord do this in the first place? He could have played football at the top of his game for another two or three years. ”
"Marcus Rashford, if they can't score for Manchester United in this game, they will be blind to Manchester United's main position!"
The big shot was given to Ferguson, and Ferguson's face was also like ashes, so he was not embarrassed......
However, after the resumption of play, it was still Manchester United who took the initiative on the pitch, and Southampton continued to show weakness and shrink the formation. In the 18th minute, Dong Fangzhuo and Di Marima played a series of crosses on the left side, and finally sent the ball to the feet of Rashford, but Rashford took the ball to face Van Dijk and was intercepted by Van Dijk head-on.
“shi-t!”
"It's indescribable!"
"He can't confidently beat Van Dijk? Or pass the ball back to Dong? ”
“……”
The United fans in the stands were scolding because they compared Rashford to Wayne Rooney, Rooney scored and Rashford had the ball broken.
In fact, Rashford is not so bad, it is normal to be cut off with the ball, but who is the comparison Rooney?
The younger brothers couldn't do it, so Dong Fangzhuo had to come in person. After Southampton's attack was fruitless, Dong Fangzhuo took the ball and rushed to the front of Southampton's penalty area, and in the face of Gerrard's frontal interception, Dong Fangzhuo continued to pedal on a bicycle and shook, and suddenly stabbed the ball forward, and Gerrard was actually pierced.
Dong Fangzhuo easily passed Gerrard, but still faced Van Dijk. Dong Fangzhuo will not have any hesitation, a bull's tail is thrown out, and the ball is immediately pulled to the left to the bottom line! Van Dijk didn't even get close. He immediately swept the ball across the line of the six-yard penalty area.
syllable
Mbappe easily blocked the ball.
The ball went in.
After all, it was Dong Fangzhuo who forcibly fed the cake to equalize the score......
