However, although Manchester United defeated Manchester City, Dong Fangzhuo still did not win the best in the Premier League best player selection in November, August, September, October, November, Ronaldo won twice, Messi also won twice, and the two won the best. In terms of personal data, Dong Fangzhuo has no advantage. This also puts him at a disadvantage in the race for the Ballon d'Or, but Messi's lead was still a bit big, but after this loss to Manchester City, Messi's advantage disappeared in an instant.

The German newspaper "Bild" reported that Dong Fangzhuo's odds for the Ballon d'Or are improving, and if he can win the 2015 FIFA Club World Cup in December, then Dong Fangzhuo may counterattack Messi.

In December, Manchester United beat Manchester City's Yu Yong and easily won Bournemouth at home, and finally set foot in Osaka, Japan.

This year's tournament has a total of 7 teams from the champions of the six continents and the champion team of the Japan Professional Soccer League from the host country.

To the excitement of Chinese fans, Guangzhou Evergrande from China defeated Mexico América 2:1 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. The opponent in the semi-finals is Manchester United led by Dong Fangzhuo. As the champions of the Champions League, Manchester United advanced directly to the semi-finals, and Chinese fans have actually been looking forward to this game for a long time. When Guangzhou Evergrande didn't play against América Mexico before, they wanted to beat their opponents and then meet Manchester United, and now they got their wish.

Now the Chinese fans have happy distress, because on the one hand, Guangzhou Evergrande, the pride of Chinese clubs, and on the other hand, Dong Fangzhuo's Manchester United, they don't know which one to support.

There are still fans who are smart, "I hope Dong Fangzhuo scores, but I hope Guangzhou Evergrande wins the semi-finals, this is the best way to support both." ”

Many people followed up and liked.

"Well said, just support it!"

"This will not affect Dong Fangzhuo's goals."

“……”

However, some Chinese fans said that such an approach is not advisable.

"Are you stupid?"

"What is the use of Dong Fangzhuo's goal count? If he can't win the final title, then he will definitely lose to Messi in the race for the Ballon d'Or. ”

"He has to win the Club World Cup so Messi can be beaten and Messi has a damn Copa America title."

"Copa America winner, huh...... This must have been deliberately given to Messi by FIFA because Messi was too far behind. ”

"What then? I also hope that Evergrande can win the Club World Cup. ”

"Forget it, Evergrande can't win the championship even if it enters the final, so let's learn, so I still hope that Manchester United will enter the final and win the final championship!"

……

In the end, most Chinese fans still chose to stand on the side of Manchester United, for Dong Fangzhuo!

Arriving in Osaka on the 6th, Manchester United did not conduct regular training, but just went to adapt to the venue. Long-haul flights may be their most fatal heel.

And the Chinese domestic media are analysing the possibility of beating Manchester United.

Tencent.com said: Unless Dong Fangzhuo does not play, the possibility of Evergrande beating Manchester United is almost zero. Manchester United has just beaten Manchester City, which is known as the invincible armada! Even Messi was defeated at their feet!

Sohu.com: Dong Fangzhuo has never won the championship in the World Club Cup, and this time is no exception, Boss Xu's team cannot have any possibility of victory.

Netease News: Manchester United will step over Evergrande and aim for the championship!

Those famous football commentators in China also fell to Dong Fangzhuo.

Zhang Lu: "Hehe, as long as Dong Fangzhuo goes to that stop on the field, the teammates of the national team will find that it is impossible for them to get Dong Fangzhuo." Think about it with your heels and know the result of this game. ”

He Wei: "If you don't think about how many goals you concede, Manchester United will definitely win the game in regulation time. Although this Manchester United team is young and does not have much experience in the final, they are also young, they are eager to win the title, and under the leadership of Dong Fangzhuo, Manchester United will definitely advance to the final. Although I also hope that Evergrande can win the game, this miracle will not happen tomorrow. ”

Huang Jianxiang: "There is no doubt that Manchester United won the championship, Evergrande is here to learn, and Dong Fangzhuo wins the world, and this law can continue for at least three years......"

……

And Dong Fangzhuo also said in an interview with CCAV5 reporters: "I came here to win the championship, there is no other choice." We will definitely beat Evergrande! ”

The Manchester United captain made a bold statement.

"But I believe that one day the Chinese team will be able to win this competition, and one day, our club will become one of the world's most famous teams, Guangzhou Evergrande obviously has that potential, and Shanghai SIPG, they have shown a very good level."

On the 6th, Osaka was already occupied by Chinese fans. While United also had a lot of Japanese fans, Chinese fans made up almost a third of the stadium that night.

Ferguson also said happily before the game, "Today is a festival for Manchester United and Chinese fans, no matter who wins or loses, it is more like a carnival, I wish both teams can play at a good level." I can imagine the mood of the Chinese fans, they don't know who to support, it's a happy annoyance. ”

'Manchester United will be very young today, Marcus Rashford, Zanuzaj, Marcus Rashford will all play.

"The board will play back in the midfield."

Dong Fangzhuo also attended the team's pre-match press conference for the first time in the last month and a half, after all, he was facing the Chinese media and fans.

'It's been a long time since I've been to a press conference, like it's been a long time since I've played in the Club World Cup, I had the opportunity to come here last year but I got hurt. Luckily, I was able to come here with Manchester United this year. ”

"It's going to be a fantastic night."

"If there is an opportunity, I hope that the World Club Cup can be held in China in the future."

……

Zheng Zhi, who has become the captain of Evergrande, also attended the pre-match press conference, and Zheng Zhi said one of his wishes.

'It's incredible to be on the pitch again in the Club World Cup.

"And the opponent is still Dong Fangzhuo's Manchester United."

'If I could, I would have liked to play with him at the same domestic club and then win the title together.'

……

Unfortunately, it is impossible for him to realize such an idea, even if Dong Fangzhuo leaves Manchester United, he should go to Southampton instead of returning to China to join a Chinese Super League club......

The young Dong Fangzhuo did want to return to Dalian, but many years later, his football trajectory has already undergone earth-shaking changes, and he is no longer the same Dong Fangzhuo......
