Chapter 45: The Premier League's "First Time"
In the 78th minute of the game, Manchester United used up the last substitution, No. 23 Owen left, No. 7 Fan Bizhuang, substitute on the field!
More than 2,000 United fans stood up and applauded as they cheered on the club's new number seven! Once again, St James' Park became the scene for Manchester United fans to wreak havoc, with even a large number of home fans standing up and clapping their hands β regardless of whether they won or lost, and their applause was only given to the player they liked.
"Substitution! Owen went down, Fan stood on the sidelines, he and Owen high-fived each other, Fan was about to play, he was about to start his Premier League career and embark on a new journey! β
Fan bent down slightly, grabbed the ground with both hands, and then pointed to the sky with both hands, and then scratched on his chest...... Is Van praying? Just like the celebration he makes after every goal, he is praying for the blessing of Lady Luck for his new journey! β
"There was an earth-shattering cry from the few away fans as the United fans chanted for their new number seven...... It's a new start for Van and it's just as significant for Manchester United! Van took over the club's most legendary number, and perhaps, this is the beginning of a new legend! Now, let's witness the beginning of the legend! β
'Let's shout his name together, it's Manchester United who is playing now...... Number Seven! He'sβ"
"βFan!"
It is also reasonable that Fan Bizhuang's appearance is quite grand and grandiose, and looking at today's football, there are three of the top and most influential superstars, one is Cristiano. Ronaldo, one is Leo. Messi, the last one is Fan Bizhuang.
In terms of team honor, C. Ronaldo and Messi have both won the league and the Champions League, this point, Fan Bizhuang, who has only won the league championship, is insufficient, but the discerning people know that this is not to say that Fan Bizhuang's ability is insufficient, on the contrary, the importance of Fan Bizhuang in the team is even more than the top two, but because he has been playing for Villarreal before, the ceiling of the submarine's ability is only so high, even if Fan Bizhuang is against the sky, if he wants to lead the small city team to achieve a real giant, it is almost impossible to win all the honors that can be obtained. You don't see, as soon as Fan Bizhuang transferred to Real Madrid, which has a stronger background, he immediately led the team to win the league championship, which shows that Fan Bizhuang is indeed a phenomenal player that cannot be ignored.
Of course, Fan Bizhuang also reached the top of the world with the Spanish team just this past summer, and is the best player of the World Cup and the winner of the Golden Boot Award in South Africa.
In terms of personal honors, C. Ronaldo and Messi have both won the European Golden Ball Award and the World Footballer, while Fan Bizhuang has only won a young generation of "world first" - the European Golden Boy Award, which is his weakness, but almost no one uses this to attack, last season's outstanding performance in the league, La Liga Golden Boot winner, plus the World Cup champion and the glory of the World Cup top scorer, it is foreseeable that Fan Bizhuang will successfully reach the top in this year's Golden Ball Award selection.
This trend is difficult to reverse, Fan Bizhuang's excellent performance throughout the year is there, no one can ignore it, if this year's FIFA selection Fan Bizhuang unexpectedly failed, it is estimated that fans all over the world will use angry saliva to drown the FIFA headquarters - whether it is a fan who likes Fan Bizhuang or not, you must admit that in the past year, Fan Bizhuang's performance on the football field is not controversial, this ultimate prize is not given to him, no matter who it is for, fans around the world will not buy it.
Generally speaking, players who can win the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year are considered to be real superstars, but in the current Premier League, there are many stars and superstars, but there is no player who can really reach the top of glory.
The emergence of Fan Bizhuang is to make up for this gap.
Although he has not officially reached the top, it is only a matter of time, so it is not an exaggeration to compare him to Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi at this time.
And the superstar of this level, making his debut in the Premier League at this moment, will naturally cause a great sensation, and Manchester United fans are naturally extremely proud and excited, after all, Van Bizhuang is now wearing the red shirt that represents the Red Devils, or wearing the most legendary number seven.
And in the group of Newcastle fans, there are obviously fans who like Fan Bizhuang - even fans who are not interested in Fan Bizhuang must also admit Fan Bizhuang's ability and influence, applause and cheers are also a way to show their respect for the strong.
Amid the cheers from the sky, Fan Bizhuang ran onto the court.
Scholes waved at Fan Bizhuang and laughed: "Fan, you guy just appeared on the stage, listen, ha, immediately became the focus of the audience!" I have to be convinced, now it's really the world of young people like you! Come on, perform well, don't smash your Premier League debut, that's the real loss of face! β
"No problem!"
In the Manchester United team, the newcomers such as Van Bizhuang and Neville are the closest veterans, and they have long been familiar with Scholes, and they don't have so many scruples when they speak, and they waved their hands aggressively, "Paul, send the ball to me when there is a ball later, whether you can have a good performance today, whether you can satisfy the leaders and fans, it depends on your support for me!" β
"Hah, good!"
Scholes laughed in response.
Fan Bizhuang nodded, smiled at his teammates around him, and began to run around the field.
β¦β¦
In his daily training, Ferguson has already explained, he asked the players, especially Scholes and other midfield playmakers, to pay more attention to the opponent's running position when Van Bizhuang is present, and once the opponent is free, he must pass the ball immediately.
This may have helped Fan Bizhuang quickly integrate into the team, but Ferguson's emphasis on Fan Bizhuang is not clear to anyone in the team. Now it is only in the stage of adapting to the integration, and it has begun to cooperate around Fan Bizhuang in a purposeful and targeted manner, and when Fan Bizhuang sits firmly in the main force of the team, it is obvious that the team's offensive core has to fall on Fan Bizhuang's head.
Ferguson asked Fan Bizhuang to play as he did in training on weekdays before coming on the pitch, which in turn means that the whole team will give Fan Bizhuang full support as they did in training.
In this case, the first touch of his Premier League career was not long in coming.
It was Hernandez who passed the ball for him, and after Owen left, the Mexican striker was pushed up to the front line, while Van Bizhuang took the place of the left winger - but he had a huge range of movement, saying that he was a winger, but he was in the middle of the field, and sometimes he even retreated to the midfield near the center circle line, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was a free man up front.
This is also the "privilege" that Ferguson gave to Fan Bizhuang, as long as Fan Bizhuang feels comfortable playing, he can choose the way and position to play at will.
This kind of privilege is generally the most important player in the team to bear, Fan Bizhuang a "newcomer" who has just joined, directly giving him the "privilege" may not cause some people in the team to oppose, but Manchester United is Ferguson's word, and Fan Bizhuang's super high value and performance in training are indeed speechless, so the players have gradually agreed with this.
Hernandez retreated to the outside of the CUHK penalty area to receive Carrick's ball, and Van Bizhuang quickly set the edge along the left side, and the former immediately passed the ball without hesitation - in fact, Hernandez may not have the idea of doing it alone to perform well, but his current position in the team does not allow him to be "willful", and he does not dare to offend the majesty of Ferguson.
Fan Bizhuang, who was running, received the ball, paused slightly, and passed the ball before the full-backs could catch up.
"Fan! Van received a pass from a team-mate and it was his first touch of the ball in the Premier League! β
"Is Fan going to make a breakthrough...... No! Fan chooses to hand the ball to his teammates! Ha, it was his first, first pass! β
"Actually, I'm looking forward to Fan doing it alone, ha, when I think of the scene where Fan plays many defenders in the video, my blood boils...... But his choice at the moment is not wrong, coming to a new environment, a new league, Fan still needs to adapt to a lot of ...... Looking forward to what Van will do next, I think he will soon be a nightmare for every team, every defender, just like he did in the Iberian Peninsula! β
St James' Park has always been in a bustle after Van Bizhuang came on the pitch, not only Manchester United fans are cheering and screaming, many home fans, as well as the commentators on the commentary box, are always tireless to talk about Van Bizhuang's every run and every action on the field.
Run, catch, pass, run......
Fan Bizhuang did not choose to express himself strongly as soon as he came on the field, he is a member of the team after all, and now what he has to do is to better integrate into the whole team, instead of performing for the sake of performance, causing a drag on the team as a whole and disappointing the impression of all his teammates, which is what only a fool does.
However, dormant does not mean that you do not perform, you just need to wait for the opportunity.
And that time was not long in coming.
In the 83rd minute, after receiving the pass from his teammates again, Fan Bizhuang did not immediately pass the ball away after attracting the attention of the defenders as before, but unexpectedly accelerated the ball, and instantly threw aside Enrique, a Magpies fullback who was hanging not far away.
Van Bizhuang, who completed the breakthrough, immediately smashed the ball and changed to the middle, rushing to the player of Newcastle to make up for the defense, and then pushed the football to Scholes not far away, Manchester United midfielder was very keen to rub the ball with his feet, without the slightest stagnation, and the football flew to the front of Van Bizhuang.
A nice two-over-one wall-banging fit!
Fan Bizhuang in the running has got rid of all the players who follow the defense, there is an open field in front of him, without any hesitation, quickly run to the landing point of the football, do not wait for the ball to fall, raise his foot is a violent volley full of momentum!
