2019 is the Year of the Pig, the last of the 12 animals in the zodiac. This chubby, kind and cute guy is said to bring luck and fortune to people.

Tai's Manchester is preparing for a week-long Chinese New Year extravaganza from 7 to 10 February 2019.

The New Year's extravaganza here prepares for giant art exhibitions, traditional home-themed handicrafts and wonderful street parades.

Because he was forced by the team doctor to only participate in the team's daily training, he was not allowed to participate in the team's training matches, and he was not allowed to practice by himself, so after returning from Abu Dhabi, Dai Zhiwei had plenty of time to enjoy the Spring Festival in a foreign country.

This year, because of work, Dai's father and mother did not celebrate the Spring Festival with Dai Zhiwei as they have in the past two years - 2017 because Dai Zhiwei went abroad for the first time, and in 2018, because he went from Spain to England, this time Dai's father and mother are going to accompany the elderly at their parents' homes for the Chinese New Year.

Although Manchester is the second largest city in the United Kingdom, it actually has a population of just over 500,000 people and an area of only 115 square kilometers, which is not as large as a district of a domestic city.

He went to Albert Square, bought two extremely ugly Chinese handicrafts, and then tasted a few mouthfuls of so-called traditional Chinese food at the food market here.

The only thing that makes him feel a little interested is that there is an 8-meter-tall God of Wealth here!

Although it is an inflatable version, Dai Zhiwei also bows slightly - he has never believed in these things in China, but a bow may bring fortune.

After having something on his stomach, Dai Zhiwei also cheered up and ran to St. Ann's Square for a walk.

The highlight of this year's event is the Giant Piglet Art Exhibition, created by British artist Alex Linsler. The huge little pig put on a beautiful coat made of thousands of pence for good luck.

The giant piglet exhibition will be on display from February 5th to February 10th. Visitors will be invited to donate pennies to the piggy banks around the sculpture, with proceeds going to The_Big_Change as well as Wai_Yin_Society and will be used to support people experiencing homelessness in Manchester.

Dai Zhiwei also donated 10 pounds, not because he was stingy, but because he didn't have much change - the only thing he had just bought was two couplets.

He doesn't know if the Chinese here post couplets or not, but if there is such a procedure missing during the Chinese New Year, he will always feel that something is missing.

Although the highest daily temperature in the UK since February this year is the highest since 1910, with an average temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, Dai Zhiwei still feels a little cold after a while, and after watching the giant piglet art exhibition, he is not interested, so he took the car and went to the Chinese supermarket near to buy some dumplings and went home.

No matter where he is, eating dumplings and sticking Spring Festival couplets during the New Year is an indispensable ritual in his heart.

February 9, 2019, the fifth day of the first lunar month, commonly known as breaking the fifth.

In the Chinese New Year, the five poor should be driven away during the New Year. Therefore, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, people want to burn firecrackers, visit the door everywhere, the festive atmosphere brings popularity, drive away the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, and pick up a broom to sweep the garbage out of the door, which means to drive out the dirty things, and entrust the Chinese working people with a kind of good wishes to dispel evil spirits, avoid disasters, and pray for blessings.

At present, in major cities in China, it is impossible to set off firecrackers as in the past, but Dai Zhiwei has bought a lot of fireworks in Manchester.

Unfortunately, because Manchester United had a game that night, he had to choose to set off fireworks in the morning.

"Fireworks during the day, I'm a fool, right?"

At 20:30 in the evening, Manchester United ushered in the 26th round of the Premier League against Fulham at home.

Mourinho did not include Dai Zhiwei, who returned from the Asian Cup, in the team's starting name, as stated in the pre-match press conference, but in order to be prepared, Dai Zhiwei still appeared on the bench and was ready to come to the rescue at any time.

However, the Red Devils have plenty of confidence as the Reds have won nine and drawn two of their last 11 meetings with Fulham – the last time Fulham won against the Reds was in 2009.

Without Dai Zhiwei, United's starting line-up was enough to crush Fulham, with Anthony Martial, Olivier Giroud, Suso, Juan Mata, Ricardo Pereira, Phil Jones and Victor Lindelof rotating.

It's a pity that this lineup is more than enough defense and not enough offense.

"It was a dull game."

'Yes, Jose Mourinho hid most of his main players for the first leg of the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain in midweek, and the trident of Anthony Martial, Olivier Giroud and Suso was not enough to support United's attacking banner. Obviously, the commentators are a little overwhelmed, "Without Dai Zhiwei, Mourinho's team really won't score!" ”

In all fairness, Manchester United's attack at the beginning of this game was quite disciplined, and it was a big offensive football.

Just four minutes into the game, Juan Mata sent a brilliant through ball down the middle, and after Suso won the ball from outside the box, he adjusted unguarded and fired a left-footed volley that hit the post and missed the chance to open the scoring – Suso has already scored five goals and provided six assists for United this season, and the €40 million transfer fee last summer was clearly worth it.

In the 11th minute, it was Suso's cross from the edge of the penalty area, which was particularly active in this game, Matic almost scored with a header, and Fulham goalkeeper Rico saved the close-range header as if Buffon was possessed.

In the 26th minute, Anthony Martial's powerful effort won the Reds the first Fulham corner of the game.

Mata then headed in a corner and Olivier Giroud and Nemanja Matic both missed the ball at the back post.

This time, however, Lindelof's header was more of a habitual clearance, straight over the crossbar.

After three axes, although Manchester United held the initiative on the field, the attack was like scratching the boot, and could not enter the Fulham penalty area at all, only Nemanja Matic's long-range shot from outside the box created some threat.

From the 27th minute of the game to the first 15 minutes of the second half, there were few shots on goal from both teams, adding up to less than 5 shots in nearly 40 minutes, and an average of 1 shot on goal in 10 minutes.

At this time, the commentator suddenly raised his voice and said, "Mourinho obviously can't sit still, he has already called Dai Zhiwei up to warm up." ”

"Well, with both Manchester City and Liverpool winning in this round, Manchester United certainly can't accept this draw." Another commentator continued, "Now, it's up to Dai Zhiwei's performance, I hope that these days away from the team have not made him lose the feeling of scoring goals in the Premier League." ”

In the 64th minute of the game, Mourinho replaced Suso with Dai Zhiwei as the team's right winger - this season, when starting with Giroud, Dai Zhiwei's performance in the right winger position is as good as ever, and there is no discomfort at all.

The Manchester United team doctor who forced Dai Zhiwei to rest before did not have any dissatisfaction with Mourinho's choice, after all, Dai Zhiwei only has the possibility of injury due to excessive fatigue, and now the game is only 30 minutes, as long as the warm-up is sufficient, this amount of exercise is not a problem for Dai Zhiwei, who has been resting for several days.

The game continued with a whistle from the referee.

In the 67th minute, Dai Zhiwei's first long-range shot after coming on the field gave the opponent a dismount, but unfortunately this fierce shot hit the body of Fulham defender Le Machande and missed the bottom line.

However, looking at Lemchand's way of holding his back and jumping straight to his feet in pain, he knew that with such an obstruction, he might not dare to be so decisive next time.

Three minutes later, United were back in the picture.

After receiving Herrera's pass, Dai Zhiwei turned and dribbled forward, and when the opponent was close, he made a two-by-one collision with Mata, who came to pick up him, and after he passed the football to Mata, he continued to run forward.

Mata didn't delay much time, and after slightly attracting the attention of his opponent, he didn't turn to dodge, but knocked the ball directly with the outside of his instep, a little in front of Dai Zhiwei.

Very comfortable passing.

Dai Zhiwei received the ball on the run and met Callum Chambers just in time.

Chambers, who spent last summer on loan at Fulham from Arsenal, played as a defensive midfielder and played well.

In the face of a defensive player like Chambers, Dai Zhiwei used his flexible body and speed to eat opponents in a short period of time, and this time was no exception.

Although his dribbling ability is not inferior to Neymar, Dai Zhiwei's current passing relies more on speed than showing off his skills, the most important thing is that the Premier League defenders are too violent, and Neymar is 100% kicked into a glass man when he comes here.

I saw that Dai Zhiwei was a big foot, and he forcibly overtook Chambers with his perverted speed.

After passing Chambers, his eyes were bright.

Accelerate, accelerate!

Dai Zhiwei stepped on the ball, constantly improving his speed, and went directly to the Fulham penalty area.

Fulham's Brian saw that Dai Zhiwei broke through Chambers' defense, saw the direction of his breakthrough, thought that the opponent was going to break through from the ribs, and quickly gave up his position and rushed up to try to stop.

Dai Zhiwei saw Brian's intentions at a glance, and this is the kind of opportunity he was waiting for.

He had already noticed that his team-mates had developed favourable trends in a number of positions, and his quick breakaway made Fulham's defence look thin at this point, and as long as the pass and team-mate's movement were right, he could easily find opportunities to penetrate the opposition defence.

Thus, a fatal blow!

After Bryan rushed up, Dai Zhiwei did not continue to dribble the ball, but flicked the ball to Ricardo Pereira, who was following up on the wing.

Ricardo Pereira received the ball and made a slight break down the flank before suddenly cutting inside, and just as the Fulham defenders were turning their attention to him again, Ricardo Pereira suddenly sent a through ball from the outside, and the ball slid past the Fulham defender and into the box.

When the Fulham defenders turned to look for the ball at the same time, they saw that Dai Zhiwei, who was still at the edge of the penalty area just now, had received a pass from Ricardo Pereira.

Two consecutive one-twos allowed Dai Zhiwei to face the goal directly.

"Beautiful cooperation, Dai Zhiwei received the ball again!"

'It's a good chance to shoot on goal, it's a good chance for United to break the deadlock!' The on-site commentator shouted excitedly, he didn't expect Dai Zhiwei to be in such good shape in the first game after returning from the Asian Cup.

Is it in good condition?

Dai Zhiwei doesn't think so.

It's just routine!

Dai Zhiwei is expected to face the direction of the goal when he wants to receive the ball, and the central defender Lemchand, who was played by Dai Zhiwei with a pass just now, is retreating to his position, seeing that Dai Zhiwei has received the ball again, and has reached the area where he can shoot, so he had to rush over again, intending to block the opponent's shot with his back again.

Even if it really hurts!

However, before he arrived, he saw that Dai Zhiwei did not stop the ball, and his left-footed volley was a direct and powerful volley!

1:0！

“gooooooooooooooooooooooal！”

"Oh...... Pretty! Beautiful goal! Who would have thought that Dai Zhiwei would break the deadlock on the pitch for Manchester United in less than 10 minutes! The commentator, who is obviously a Manchester United fan, asked his partner with some stinky fart: "After Dai Zhiwei went to the Asian Cup, some clubs such as Liverpool and Manchester United also said harshly, saying that this is a good opportunity for strikers such as Aguero and Salah to surpass Dai Zhiwei in the goal list, in fact?" ”

"It's all wishful thinking!"

After scoring the goal, Dai Zhiwei observed, then ran to the camera near the corner flag, took off his jersey as he ran, and then showed a row of Chinese characters on the tights inside the jersey to the hundreds of millions of fans in front of the TV -

Happy Chinese New Year and a prosperous Year of the Pig!

At this moment, the pitchside billboard in Old Trafford was replaced with a slogan with the same content.

Although 9 days ago, Dai Zhiwei had presented a precious New Year gift to all Chinese fans in advance with the first Asian Cup championship in the history of Chinese football, but today, he still hopes to bring a distant blessing to domestic fans.

After Dai Zhiwei broke the deadlock on the field, it was like a faucet was turned on, and Manchester United's goals continued to appear.

Manchester United expanded the score in the 79th minute, Phil Jones passed the ball in the counterattack, Martial got rid of the two and burst into the left rib of the penalty area 12 yards with a single low shot into the bottom right corner of the net, 2:0!

United sealed the win in the 85th minute, Giroud passed the ball, Juan Mata was knocked down by Lemcand on the edge of the box, and Dai Zhiwei, the team's first penalty taker, converted the penalty 3-0 - which was also the final score of the game.

After Tai Zhiwei scored a brace, the home United fans in the stands at Old Trafford erupted in loud cheers.

With Dai Zhiwei, there will be goals!

Just like Chinese children don't have to worry about learning anymore with a backgammon reader, Manchester United fans with Dai Zhiwei don't have to worry about scoring goals anymore!
