In this way, Dong Fangzhuo began to integrate into his new role, and he hoped that he could get at least a UEFA Pro certificate before he retired.

The interests of each age are different, when he was young, Dong Fangzhuo liked to train alone and compete with Ronaldo, and now, he prefers to guide newcomers in training and teach newcomers something. He is also personally involved in training and working with the young players.

Ferguson is quite happy with all of this and that's what he needs.

Wednesday noon, Porto, Portugal.

Manchester United's first team is in full swing as Porto host their quarter-final opponents.

SAPO, Portugal's largest portal, gave Porto a shout: "Porto is a tough challenge for the Portuguese against Manchester United, with a home-and-away schedule that puts them at a disadvantage, but Porto are also two-time Champions League winners, and Porto, who won the Champions League in 1987 and 2004, will not easily give up the chance to win the third Champions League in the club's history this season." Porto, who have the Devils' home turf, are capable of a fight. ”

The website of the Portuguese newspaper "Publico" also pointed out that although Porto and Manchester United are not on the same level, in the 2003/04 season, Porto was led by Mourinho to eliminate Manchester United with an aggregate score of 3:2 to advance to the next round and finally win the championship. Now that they are facing their old enemies again, it may also be a good opportunity for Porto to replicate the glory of the past.

"Defend, Porto must set up enough defensive barriers in the midfield and not allow Dong to have too much room to move. The problem for Chelsea is that Villas-Boas is too confident he can beat Manchester United at Stamford Bridge, that one Dong can't lead United to victory, that Pereira can't make that mistake, and that Porto need to put a bus out of midfield. Portugal's Morning Post is looking ahead to the quarter-finals of the Champions League and has given advice to Porto coach Andreas Pereira.

But in fact, after Pereira returned from London, he had already made his own plans.

If you don't defend it, will you still attack?

The characteristics of Manchester United are very obvious, before Dong did not come back, Manchester United played overall football, the individual ability of the players was not very outstanding, and the game was played evenly and steadily, without many surprises. After Dong's return, Ferguson obviously set up new tactics around Dong Fangzhuo, and carried out new tactical design with Dong Fangzhuo as the core. This is actually very similar to the concept of Barcelona around Messi and Real Madrid around Ronaldo, especially the former. Whether it is Dong Fangzhuo or Messi, they are the core of the attack, and Real Madrid is using Ronaldo as the finisher.

Pereira really couldn't think of anything else to do other than set up a bus.

But he was confident in his pre-match press conference: "Every season, when Porto are in the Champions League, it's always considered a big package, but every year we always play unexpected results, and it won't be easy for any team that comes here as a guest, even Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona. ”

"Football is an 11-man sport and Dong is very strong, but he can't dominate every game, and when our 11 players are perfect, we can also achieve a good result."

Porto's strength is really not weak, if Manchester United does not have a Dong Fangzhuo, maybe Porto is really not afraid of Manchester United, and it can be seen from their starters that Pereira has a lot of ideas.

433.

Goalkeeper: Fabiano

Defenders: Danilo, Indy, McConn, Alex Sandro

Midfielders: Héctor Herrera, Casemiro, Oliver Torres

Forwards: Quaresma, Jackson Martinez, Brahimi

In the squad, there are players coveted by Real Madrid, such as Danilo and Casemiro, as well as famous stars such as Quaresma.

And the team's style of play is very strong, tenacious, and it is playing at home. Pereira is naturally confident in the game.

On Manchester United's side, Ferguson is actually not very optimistic, because there are too many injuries, otherwise he would not have arranged so many young players on the field in the FA Cup.

A glance at Manchester United's injury list is enough to line up a fairly competitive squad.

Especially at the back, Manchester United's defense is too fragile this season, and before Dong Fangzhuo came, the midfield was also a little messy. In a sense, it was David De Gea who underpinned the first half of the season for Manchester United.

Being able to take out Liverpool and Chelsea in a row, Ferguson is actually snickering, because everyone is focused on Dong Fangzhuo and Manchester United's attack, thus ignoring Manchester United's defensive problems.

The Premier League is easy to play, it doesn't mean that the Champions League is easy to play!

But, so what?

Ferguson only made slight changes to the starting line-up, and goalkeeper David De Gea is certainly not moving, he is the anchor of the backline.

The back line is the same as in the FA Cup.

In midfield, Fletcher, Carrick and Fellaini were behind Dong Fangzhuo.

The two strikers were replaced by Wayne Rooney and Marcus Rashford.

Yes, even Robin van Persie was pressed to the bench and Ferguson was happy to give Rashford a chance.

"It's a very conservative lineup, but it's a sharp lineup."

Lineker said when he was given the starting line-up for Manchester United, "Fletcher, Carrick and Fellaini just need to defend well, and all that's left is to give the ball to King Dong and let him solve the attacking problems." Porto are not easy to play, so Ferguson opted for defensive caution, but up front, he was bold again, he did not choose veterans Van Persie and Falcao, but gave Rashford more chances, and it looks like he can't wait for Rashford to take over. ”

"Speaking of which, King Dong recently signed up for a coaching training course in Manchester, and it seems that he will take up the coaching whip in the future, maybe one day, soon after retiring, he may become the manager of Manchester United, and then direct Rashford and Lingard to play off the pitch and they ......"

"On Porto's side, the most dangerous player is definitely Quaresma, this nerve knife will be unsheathed once in a long time, Manchester United must not be careless."

Quaresma, Dong Fangzhuo was also a teammate with him for half a year, in the 0809 season, Quaresma was still in Inter Milan, Ronaldo also greeted him and asked him to take care of him, but who knew that the relationship between the two was not good, and finally during the winter break, Quaresma was loaned to Chelsea.

Rashford was going crazy to learn that he was in the starting line-up, and he was full of joy, and the muscles on his face never relaxed.

"Marcus,"

"You don't have to think about anything, all you have to do is put the ball I passed to you into the goal."

'I scored a hat-trick in my first game in the Champions League.

"You can do it too."

Dong Fangzhuo motivates Rashford before the game.

Yes, Dong Fangzhuo scored a hat trick in the Champions League for the first time that year, and Rashford saw it with his own eyes! And also against Porto!
